Chapter 51

"The improvement of comprehension and bones has been delayed again."

Having finally saved up so many points, they should have been used to improve comprehension or bones.

Wind-Thunder Force is strong, but when his comprehension reaches A-grade, he will surely be able to comprehend it. Consuming points now is equivalent to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

But as someone who follows the path of caution, seeking stability is his nature, and he will always plan for the worst.

Glancing at Zhang Hong and the others beside him, Xu Yang recited silently and invested all his points into the Bear-Mountain-Shaking Fist.

A large amount of insight surged like a tide; he felt as if he had been practicing fist techniques for several months, and countless insights into the Bear-Mountain-Shaking Fist appeared in his heart.

[Bear-Mountain-Shaking Fist - Small Success (242/500)]

"Wind-Thunder Force, done!"

Joy surged in Xu Yang’s eyes. At this moment, in his mind, he had already understood all the mysteries of the Wind-Thunder Force.

With a thought, his True Qi moved as he commanded, disappearing from his meridians and dispersing into his flesh and blood, lying in ambush.

"So the mystery of the Wind-Thunder Force is to let True Qi break free from the shackles of the meridians and burst forth as one wishes..."

His eyes were sharp. After this improvement, not only did he learn the Wind-Thunder Force, but his mastery of the Explosive Bear Force also became more profound.

His cultivation hadn't changed, but his combat power had risen to a higher level.

"Father, I’ve invited someone. Guess who it is?"

The group soon arrived at the Qiu family. Qiu Yongqiang’s gaze swept back and forth over Zhang Yong and the others, trying to see who the expert Qiu Wenjie had invited was.

"Uncle Qiu, no need to guess. I’ve reached Small Success in Qi Refining. It’s time for me to repay you," Xu Yang said solemnly, cupping his hands.

Even though Qiu Wenjie had already refined Qi, Qiu Yongqiang continued to support him, which moved him deeply.

Qiu Yongqiang was overjoyed: "You’ve reached Small Success in Qi Refining? Good, very good! Uncle Qiu didn't misjudge you."

He had actually been worried that Qiu Wenjie wouldn't be able to invite anyone.

Before, the situation was urgent, and he hadn't thought that much.

After Qiu Wenjie hurried to the Weiyuan Hall and thought carefully, he realized how difficult it was to invite someone who could negotiate this matter. With the Martial Arts Examination imminent, who would want to take the risk?

If they got injured and delayed the Martial Arts Examination, their whole life would be ruined.

Under Qiu Wenjie’s introduction, Zhang Yong and the others greeted Qiu Yongqiang and were invited into the main hall by him.

"Second brother, did Wenjie invite a talent from the Weiyuan Hall?" Qiu Yongjian walked over with a pale face.

"Big brother!"

"Uncle!"

Qiu Wenjie went to assist Qiu Yongjian, and Qiu Yongqiang also stood up and said: "I invited them. These are Wenjie’s senior brothers from the Weiyuan Hall."

He introduced Zhang Yong and the others again, then pointed to Xu Yang and said: "This is the Xu Yang I told you about. He has reached Small Success in Qi Refining and can negotiate with Hong Feng."

He let out a long breath. With Xu Yang, the heart that had been hanging finally settled down.

"Greetings, Hero Xu. Thank you for helping the Qiu family without holding a grudge. I, Qiu, thank you!" Qiu Yongjian bowed deeply to Xu Yang, his face showing shame.

Back when Qiu Wenjie refined Qi, he used the excuse of cultivating his own family’s experts to make Qiu Yongqiang stop supporting Xu Yang, believing that Qiu Yongqiang was wasting money and that if the Qiu family had trouble in the future, Xu Yang wouldn't take action.

Unexpectedly, when the Qiu family had trouble, Xu Yang came to help without holding a grudge.

Xu Yang: ...

"Big brother, I didn't listen to you and stop supporting A-Yang. I’ve been using my own money to support him all along," Qiu Yongqiang whispered in Qiu Yongjian’s ear.

Xu Yang suddenly realized. No wonder Qiu Yongjian would say something about "not holding a grudge." It turned out the "Qiu family" had stopped supporting him, but Qiu Yongqiang had been paying for it out of his own pocket all along.

The two brothers were a bit embarrassed for a moment, as it was such a time to say such things.

Xu Yang didn't hold it against them and said: "Uncle Qiu, don't delay. Let’s go to the Hong family now."

"Okay!"

Mentioning the Hong family, the Qiu brothers forgot their embarrassment and were the first to walk out.

As the group left the Qiu family, they saw a group of inner courtyard disciples waiting there.

"Junior Brother Xu, can we follow to watch the battle?" Xue Fangsheng asked.

"Whatever!"

Xu Yang glanced at these fellow disciples he had no friendship with and followed the Qiu brothers forward.

Crossing two streets, the Hong family appeared before them.

Qiu Wenjie took a step forward and shouted: "Hong Feng, you injured my uncle and want to seize my Qiu family’s property. Get out here and talk immediately."

Compared to the large households in the inner city like the Liu family, the Hong family was just a small household, not even having servants to watch the door, and the whole courtyard was only the size of a corner of the Liu family’s.

After waiting for a while, the Hong family’s gate opened, and more than a dozen people poured out, both men and women.

Qiu Yongqiang stood beside Xu Yang and whispered: "The one walking in front is Hong Xu. He isn't a martial artist. The most burly one beside him is his eldest son, Hong Feng. Besides Hong Feng, the Hong family has another martial artist, but he only has the cultivation of early Qi Refining and isn't here."

Xu Yang’s gaze fell on Hong Feng, and he ignored the others directly.

Hong Feng was burly, with a scar on his brow, making him look a bit ferocious. His gaze also swept over him, his expression uncertain.

Clearly, although he didn't know him, standing with the Qiu brothers at such a time, he guessed he was the helper the Qiu family had invited.

Finally, Hong Feng’s gaze fell on Qiu Wenjie: "I’m out. What do you want to say?"

Qiu Wenjie said in a deep voice: "Compensate my uncle and apologize, otherwise you’ll be lying here today."

Hong Feng’s gaze swept over Zhang Yong and the others behind Qiu Wenjie: "The Weiyuan Hall has sent so many people. Do you want to bully the few with the many, thinking the Tiger-Roaring Fist School has no one?"

With Small Success in Qi Refining cultivation, his gaze was naturally different. He saw at a glance that these people behind Qiu Wenjie were all inner courtyard disciples of the Weiyuan Hall.

However, he dared to seize the Qiu family’s property, so he naturally wasn't afraid of so many Weiyuan Hall disciples attacking together. If they really did that, the Tiger-Roaring Fist School wouldn't be a pushover either.

"Don't mind us; we’re just here to watch the battle."

"Don't keep talking about the Weiyuan Hall and the Tiger-Roaring Fist School; you can't represent the Tiger-Roaring Fist School."

Xue Fangsheng and the others spoke, making their stance clear.

Hong Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze fell on Xu Yang: "Then you’re the one standing up. May I ask how to address you?"

Xu Yang stepped forward and said: "Weiyuan Hall, Xu Yang!"

"So you are Xu Yang!" Hong Feng’s smile suddenly relaxed.

The Hong family wanted to seize the Qiu family’s property, so they naturally investigated Qiu Wenjie’s relationship network in the Weiyuan Hall. In his investigation, Qiu Wenjie couldn't invite any experts from the Weiyuan Hall, only being on good terms with Xu Yang, Zhang Hong, and those people.

And in his investigation, the person Qiu Wenjie was on best terms with was Xu Yang, who only reached Qi Refining because of the Huang family’s cultivation, but was abandoned by the Huang family because of Lu Ren and was now an offering at the Liu family.

So when he heard that the person standing up was Xu Yang, he suddenly laughed.

A mud-legged person who luckily changed his fate doesn't cherish his life, learning from others to play at martial arts righteousness, not knowing that standing up randomly will get people killed?

"Come on, words are useless. As martial artists, we can only see who is stronger with our hands. If I lose, I will naturally apologize and compensate Qiu Yongjian."

Saying this, Hong Feng strode over.

You won't lose; you will die!

Xu Yang also moved.
