With a push of his foot, his body shot forward like a swift cheetah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The explosive power is quite good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Huang Qingzhou felt impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already thought highly of Shen Wenxing, knowing he was a promising martial arts talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But over the past year, Shen Wenxing had surprised him far beyond expectations. Huang Qingzhou even suspected that this kid might break through to become a Postnatal Martial Artist before reaching adulthood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a prodigy is rare in this remote town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist, carrying a gust of wind, whistled in as it smashed forward. Huang Qingzhou didn’t evade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to test Shen Wenxing’s strength, so he naturally had to confront it head-on to know for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out with his hand to grab the incoming punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dull sound came, and Huang Qingzhou frowned slightly. While blocking the subsequent moves, he smiled and cursed, \"You brat, don’t hold back, attack with all your strength!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having taken a punch, Huang Qingzhou could clearly feel that this kid was still holding back a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing knew he couldn’t hurt the opponent, so he stopped holding back and attacked with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mountain Shaking Fist emphasizes an explosion of power, using the full body to fight more and more courageously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wenxing’s offensive was swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past year, he had put in twice the effort of his other senior brothers, and the results were evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Mountain Shaking Fist was more skillful than his other senior brothers, with a smooth flow from move to move, even grasping some techniques to enhance punching power by leveraging the body’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with someone like Huang Qingzhou, an experienced Postnatal Peak Martial Artist, feeding him moves, Shen Wenxing fought more freely, gradually gaining new insights into the Mountain Shaking Fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body half-rotated, using the momentum to land a punch that forced Huang Qingzhou to retreat slightly. He then used the momentum for another spin, bringing down his left fist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spin, right fist, spin, left fist...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his legs as an axis, leveraging the body’s rotation, he channeled all his power into the punching fist, each hit heavier than the last!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Huang Qingzhou blocked, the smile on his face grew wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After using Qi Blood Power to force Shen Wenxing back, he finally spoke, \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shen Wenxing withdrew his fists, a trace of excitement flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exchange just now had given him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Qingzhou also generously praised, \"You little brat, you truly surprised your uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I didn’t know your family background, this master would have thought you’ve been secretly consuming some rare delights.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the exchange, he could already judge that although Shen Wenxing hadn’t broken through to a Postnatal Martial Artist yet, he could definitely be considered a High Tier Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his understanding of the Mountain Shaking Fist, probably few in the Martial Arts Hall could match him as an opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the youngster in front of him, Huang Qingzhou’s expression was somewhat complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Emperor Yu venerated martial prowess. With Shen Wenxing’s talent, he could very well become an Innate Martial Artist in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And an Innate Martial Artist is far more valuable than the County Magistrate in this small Anyang County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lingxiu, make sure to learn well from your junior brother, and stop playing around all day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Huang Qingzhou glanced at his daughter, who was looking on with admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Lingxiu’s eyes turned into crescent moons, and she nodded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, rest early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In cultivation, one needs to balance tension and relaxation, paying attention to the combination of work and rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Huang Lingxiu, there were no witnesses to their exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days passed as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, as the sun slanted westward, over a dozen Martial Arts Hall disciples finished their postures in the Martial Arts Arena. Liao Yunfeng, the hefty martial arts master dressed in a Short Ge Cloth Shirt in front, spoke up, \"It’s been a while since I’ve assessed your cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since there’s a bit of time, pair up and spar, let me see your capabilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These dozen or so disciples have been continuously consuming medicinal food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of Liao Yunfeng and a few others, these were the real disciples; as for those who didn’t plan to use medicines to refine their bodies, they were not worth nurturing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing they were to spar again, Su Chang’s face immediately lit up with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up right away, \"Junior Brother Shen, let your senior brother see if you’ve made any progress in your cultivation lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Yunfeng saw this and frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the two did not get along and had heard that every time they sparred, Su Chang would take the opportunity to find Shen Wenxing and beat him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Chang, as a senior of six years, don’t always bully your junior brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Su Chang’s background, while Liao Yunfeng didn’t appreciate his behavior, he couldn’t say anything too harsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison to Su Chang, he preferred the hardworking Shen Wenxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little guy, although he only studied martial arts for a year, exceeded others significantly in both talent and dedication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person would not achieve anything mediocre in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Liao, disciple isn’t bullying him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You and all the masters often say that sparring with experts leads to faster growth; this disciple only wants to help Junior Brother Shen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, a look of annoyance flashed across Liao Yunfeng’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense, but Su Chang always took advantage of his strength, making it more of a humiliation to torment Shen Wenxing, which wasn’t sparring anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was really afraid that such a promising talent would lose confidence and get ruined this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shen Wenxing, do you want to spar with Su Chang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Yunfeng’s gaze turned towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already made up his mind that if Shen Wenxing refused, he could justifiably stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting cross-legged, Shen Wenxing glanced at Su Chang, feeling a bit hesitant internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sparring with Huang Qingzhou, he felt that he wouldn’t be weaker than Su Chang now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shen Yuan had taught him to be humble and low-key in dealing with the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated over whether to step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shi Tou, don’t be afraid, beat him up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Huang Lingxiu, knowing his capability, whispered encouragement in his ear, suggesting Shen Wenxing give Su Chang a good beating to vent his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their intimacy couldn’t hide from Su Chang, whose anger was hard to conceal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for him to rise, Su Chang walked straight over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forced, Shen Wenxing had no choice but to rise and confront him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chang spread his stance, his eyes slightly twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already decided that regardless of anything else, he must give this kid a painful lesson this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two didn’t spend much time confronting each other before engaging in a brawl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Su Chang was a dandy, his body had been nourished for a long time with medicinal food and various precious herbs, giving him a strong foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his techniques were full of flaws, his brute strength was miraculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Shen Wenxing usually lost to him was due to a lack of foundation; often, after blocking a few moves, his arms would go numb, allowing Su Chang to break through and beat him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now his bloodline had been tempered, and his body had been transformed by the Ninth Grade Bloodline, becoming much stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His weaknesses were covered, and Su Chang’s previous way of using brute force to break his defense no longer worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged more than a dozen moves in an instant, at which point Shen Wenxing would usually have been overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, there were no signs of falling behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Su Chang gradually grew anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more anxious he got, the more flaws appeared in his techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Shen Wenxing could easily neutralize his offensive with a dodge or a single hand block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight left Liao Yunfeng greatly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, when Su Chang was panting heavily, Shen Wenxing finally stepped back a few paces, creating some distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, he had countless opportunities to give a harsh lesson to Su Chang, but he held back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Su, I accept your concession.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wenxing gave a slight cupped fist salute, then returned to his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Lingxiu was somewhat dissatisfied, \"Why did you hold back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about how he used to target you; you should have knocked him out with a punch and then beaten him until he was like a pig’s head!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wenxing shook his head with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that he didn’t want to, he just couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>",1547,"2026-06-06T03:07:11.658Z",1,"novelbin.me","c7010c33bc7ff1512e41374c567138b1fd170778e76db17231fdab40be53db53","crafting-an-immortal-race-with-daily-hexagrams-chapter-21","crafting-an-immortal-race-with-daily-hexagrams-chapter-19",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcrafting-an-immortal-race-with-daily-hexagrams-cover.jpg"]
