These days, it’s hard to escape the bold ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Hong stepped onto the stage and gave a standard disciple salute to Zhou Yuanxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disciple Jia Hong, willing to accept the assessment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuanxing saw this refined female disciple before him, and his stern demeanor slightly softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, the usual routine, start with a fist demonstration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Elder Zhou finished speaking, Jia Hong took her stance on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her legs slightly bent, her waist and back straight, with her left hand forming a palm vertically in front of her chest, while her right fist was tightly pressed against her slender waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, both hands shaped into fists, pushing out evenly, then slowly and stably pressing downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a certain moment, her arms suddenly shook, her waist and hips swayed sharply, and her right hand formed a hook and fiercely struck at a 45-degree angle towards the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movement flowed like clouds and water, pleasing to watch, as Jia Hong seemed to transform into a graceful crane, raising its head to the sky, with an imposing momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Pa!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp firecracker sound seemed to come from her muscles and bones or perhaps mixed with the intense friction of the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just by the satisfied smile on Elder Zhou’s face, it was clear she had surely passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, for being only two months in, this understanding is commendable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone else?\" Elder Zhou asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me.\" Lou Yi cleared his throat and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He demonstrated the Chain Fist on the spot, executing retreat, press, shock, swing, and strike like Jia Hong, ending with a loud ’Pa’ sound, even brighter than Jia Hong’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though older, your understanding is alright.\" Elder Zhou calmly nodded, \"Anyone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A disciple with a familiar face to Lou Yi, whose name he couldn’t recall, volunteered to step forward, his expression a bit anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He started demonstrating the punches on the spot, but just after two moves, Elder Zhou’s brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi also shook his head inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person was either inadequately practiced or overly tense, as the first move had a slight tremor undetectable by others, and there was a gap between the first and second moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, his final hook punch was delivered with a low sound, far from the firecracker loudness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Needs more practice.\" Elder Zhou commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, I...\" The disciple’s face turned pale, teeth trembled, clearly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his outcome, several eager individuals stopped in their tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another person took the stage, catching Lou Yi’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dark-skinned, honest-looking fellow was his former roommate Jin Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Feng stood firmly in his stance, Elder Zhou secretly nodded, his foundation was solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, he began demonstrating the Chain Fist, each punch steady and balanced, without a detectable flaw, until the last punch resonated with a ’Pa’ explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Feng managed to produce a firecracker sound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Lou Yi, but even Niu Peng, He Yu, Jie Bai, who usually boasted together, widened their eyes, faces filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid hid well!\" Niu Peng gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, seeing him like this feels worse than losing money at a casino!\" He Yu expressed his discontent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next up was Zhan Weida.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recent sparring with Lou Yi wasn’t without gains, as he succeeded in delivering sounds too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last to take the stage was Huang Longgang, recently beaten by Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not seen in days, Lou Yi found his complexion rosy, and overall condition much improved, perhaps from consuming some potent medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Longgang demonstrated the punches, steadily, comparable to Jin Feng, but on his final punch, a disruption occurred during the transition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five punches lacked unity, and the last punch sounded somewhat muffled, akin to a low-quality firecracker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Passed.\" Elder Zhou concluded, judging him through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples exchanged glances, yet none dared to criticize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anyone left?\" Elder Zhou surveyed, to confirm no one remained, then prepared for the second round of Qi-Blood testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The testing referred to checking one’s physique, simply put, seeing if you eat well daily, and if your body has deficits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those lacking Qi-Blood will face adverse effects upon practicing the Breathing Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, take this.\" Zhan Weida approached Lou Yi, poking his waist, speaking in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this?\" Holding the dark red pill, Lou Yi wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qi Blood Pill, a good thing; consume it to assuredly pass the second level.\" Zhan Weida winked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, I’m confident.\" Lou Yi returned the pill to Zhan Weida, his expression confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How absurd, if I lack Qi-Blood, it’s unlikely to find anyone in the world with enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Zhou had those who passed the first round step forward and line up, as he took out a peculiar item from his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The object was a curved horn, a foot long, milky white, with faint swirling patterns on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the horn of a Goat Spirit,\" Zhan Weida whispered behind Lou Yi, \"Many martial arts halls use it to test Qi-Blood. The stronger the Qi-Blood, the redder the color turns.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhan Weida finished speaking, Jia Hong went first, gracefully gripping the horn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The originally milky white horn quickly changed color, from white to red, the entire horn turning a light red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Longgang, Jin Feng, and others tried, yielding similar results to Jia Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This round was much simpler than the first, after all, replenishing Qi-Blood didn’t require understanding, just having silver sufficed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Lou Yi stepped up, the scene was filled with gasps, even Elder Zhou’s face displayed astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horn turned completely bright red, even emitting a noticeable glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s terrifying Qi-Blood was evident!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s that to show?\" Huang Longgang scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He confidently grasped the horn, only to get his expression stuck the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horn, originally glowing red, quickly shifted to a faint red, paler than Jia Hong’s, with patches that hadn’t turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result showed uneven red with white, very inconsistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid obviously frequented brothels, rendered weak.\" Zhan Weida couldn’t resist mocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Pfft.’ Among the crowd, a female disciple couldn’t hold back her laughter, then sparked laughter throughout others, filling the air with merriment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Longgang’s face instantly reddened, almost matching the horn Lou Yi had moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1326,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.887Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","d8619d45b038dffd618dc1a4ecd326c3a5087181ab891b9d97b124ddcd3868e4","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-82","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-80",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
