Chapter 11: Tiger Form Fist Great Completion (Seeking follow-up reads)

After Guo Heng left.

Jiang Tao collected the remaining functional drinks on the table and shared half with Lin Qi.

"This functional drink costs 20 yuan a bottle, it can quickly replenish lost trace elements and restore physical strength."

"I can't bear to buy it, as expected, if you are thick-skinned, you won't suffer a loss."

"I learned this sentence from you, Brother Qi."

Jiang Tao giggled, even though his face was bruised, he couldn't stop being happy.

"That's what I said, but there are still very few people who can truly do it."

Lin Qi said, and they left the martial arts room, walking towards the outside of the Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall.

At the entrance, a black luxury car with a beautiful streamlined body stopped in front of the two.

The rear window opened, and Guo Heng's cold face appeared in front of the two.

"Forgot to add WeChat."

A few minutes later, watching the luxury car go away.

Lin Qi and Jiang Tao sat at the entrance of the Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall and sighed.

"This is a Starry Sky Type 9 car, one car is worth over 1 million Xia Guo Yuan."

"It's not something poor families like us can imagine."

"I checked this Guo Heng, he studies at No. 1 High, not only is he in the top ten of the grade, but his family is also wealthy, a true heaven-favored child."

"And I heard he has a sister who

Jiang Tao rubbed his aching arms and let out a sound of envy.

"Awakening a special ability—that's the kind of genius you only see on television!"

Lin Qi set down his energy drink, his heart stirring.

With the invasion from another world, the descent of disaster beasts, the rise of the Martial Path, and the release of source energy, the shackles of genetics had been broken.

A tiny fraction of humans with innate talent could awaken special abilities, much like the superpowers found in the urban novels of his past life.

However, these special abilities were not like those superpowers; there were no countless types, only a few dozen, all related to natural attributes."

"For example: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, psychics...

"According to the news, those who awaken special abilities undergo a second growth phase, unlocking the body's treasures, significantly boosting their physical talent, and achieving terrifyingly fast cultivation speeds."

"Even the fist techniques used to control the body are different from those of ordinary people; we practice the Five-Form Fist, while they practice the Five-Element Fist."

"With boosted Martial Path talent and the ability to use the power of nature, it is a dual cultivation of the Dao and the body, a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts that ordinary people cannot compare to."

"Not only do they cultivate quickly, but in battle, they can fight both at close range and from a distance—it's simply invincible, truly terrifying."

Lin Qi sighed; those who could awaken special abilities were the most elite geniuses in all of Blue Star.

They were all seeds with the hope of becoming Ninth Realm titled martial artists.

"That level of genius is too far removed from us; in our Cang Province, the number of people who can awaken special abilities each year doesn't even exceed the count of one hand."

"We should still focus on what's in front of us and go check our bodies and buy some medicine for treatment."

"Let's get into the elite class first."

Jiang Tao shook his head.

Lin Qi nodded, still feeling a lingering soreness in his body.

10:30

Lin Qi opened the front door, and as soon as he entered, he saw his mother, Fang Huiyi, sitting in the living room, taking medicine with a pale complexion; the stifling air caused beads of sweat to overflow on her forehead.

"Xiao Qi, you're back?"

"Your face..."

Fang Huiyi saw the bruises appearing on Lin Qi's face and revealed a worried expression.

"I'm fine, I just went to do a part-time job..."

Lin Qi smiled and said it was nothing, while explaining the matter of the part-time job.

"This part-time job is quite good, 2,000 yuan per session, you don't need to worry about me..."

After speaking briefly, Lin Qi returned to his room.

He took off his shoes, and his toes poked through his socks.

"Looks like I need to buy new socks again."

Lin Qi threw the discarded socks into the trash can and sighed inwardly.

A few minutes later, he finished washing up and returned to the bedroom, feeling the cool breeze of the electric fan.

He opened his backpack and took out a bottle of ointment.

"Hiss~"

Enduring the pain, he applied the ointment to the bruised areas and rubbed them vigorously until the skin felt hot.

"Thankfully, there are no major injuries, it won't affect my martial arts training, it's just going to be quite uncomfortable."

Lin Qi finished everything and lay on the bed, recalling the sparring session from tonight and summarizing it.

On the other side, in the master bedroom, on the bed.

In the darkness, Fang Huiyi suddenly said faintly:

"It's all my fault; if it weren't for me, Xiao Qi wouldn't need to go out and do part-time work to earn money."

"Seeing the bruises on his face, my heart really aches."

"To treat my body, our family has already spent all our savings; your physical body hasn't had enough source energy replenishment and has been regressing, already falling from the Third Realm to the Second Realm."

"We still owe Big Brother's family 1 million yuan, and there's a 500,000 Xia Guo currency bank loan."

"Linlin will be in her third year of high school next year, which is also a time when money is needed; I feel very sorry for their family."

"A-Zhen, you work yourself to the bone every day to earn money; besides paying off the loans, buying medicine for my treatment, and maintaining the household, the living expenses you can give Xiao Qi are very little."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Qi, for having a mother like me." "Thankfully, in about a year, we will all be free."

When Fang Huiyi said this, her eyes turned red, and tears streamed down.

"Don't say such discouraging things."

Lin Zhen suddenly spoke; in the darkness, his gaze was piercing, as if emitting light, and he looked at Fang Huiyi, saying earnestly:

"Although our life is difficult, at least our family is still alive, and we are very happy."

"You don't know how many people envy our family."

"With the descent of the disaster beasts, how many families have been broken? At least our family is still all together."

"Big Brother only has you as a younger sister; you grew up together since childhood—if he doesn't help you, who will?"

"One day at a time, your body will definitely get better and better."

"Don't say those words again in the future."

!

After hearing this, Fang Huiyi was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay!"

"My illness has been hidden from Xiao Qi; when should we explain it to him?"

Lin Zhen let out a breath, stood up, and opened the curtains to look at the bright moon outside the window:

"Xiao Qi has been smart since he was a child, and his heart is far more mature than his appearance; after all these years, he has probably already guessed it."

"He was a genius from a young age, even if he stopped being stunning after he started practicing martial arts."

"I believe he will definitely amaze everyone."

"I'll confess to him after some time has passed."

"Mm!"

Time flew by, and the entire third year of high school was shrouded in a dense atmosphere of martial arts training.

Many people in the class noticed that Wu Kang had suddenly started frequently guiding students in their stance training and Five-Form Fist.

Then, someone discovered that those receiving guidance were all people who had submitted application forms.

Once this conclusion was reached, many people regretted it.

If they had also submitted an application form, they could have received guidance too; they felt like they had missed out on a hundred million.

Meanwhile, Lin Qi, with sufficient resources and powerful martial arts talent, was improving crazily.

This day, in the martial arts classroom

"Hoo~"

"Puff~"

Lin Qi breathed heavily, his whole body burning hot, and sweat beads the size of beans were flung off as his body moved violently.

The air made crisp sounds as he moved, and his dense Qi and blood surged as his veins bulged.

A pair of tiger claws moved with the wind, transforming into a fierce tiger; between movement and stillness, it was like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

"Not enough, still a little short."

Lin Qi kept practicing his punches, feeling that the Tiger-Form Fist was only one step away from Great Completion, yet he could never grasp the essence.

Bai Hu exits the cave!

Hungry tiger pounces on prey!

Bai Hu offers its claws!

He practiced the fist technique over and over again.

The key points of the Tiger-Form Fist kept appearing in Lin Qi's mind.

He remembered what the Red Emperor had said: Practice the punch a million times, and its meaning will reveal itself.

As long as he kept practicing, he would eventually comprehend the true meaning within.

Lin Qi became more and more focused, his brain becoming increasingly active.

One must practice the courage of the bones; the bones are the foundation of courage, courage emerges from the bones, and if the bones do not support courage, then courage has nowhere to be born.

With a fierce glare, palms pouncing, protecting the head while advancing safely in the five elements, the waist is the master, and the dantian exerts the force.

【Under your diligent training, template fusion +1%】

【Name: Lin Qi (17)】

【Template: Erlang Zhenjun · Yang Jian】

【Fusion: 1%→2%】

Lin Qi suddenly trembled all over; the key points regarding the Tiger-Form Fist emerged, and his fist technique began to change.

Pouncing, jumping, sitting, and shifting the hips, Qi flows to the fingertips!

His whole body relaxed, and intense power burst forth from between his tiger claws.

"Roar~"

Qi surged into his abdominal cavity, and he couldn't stop a tiger's roar from escaping.

【You have gained new insights into the Tiger-Form Fist, the fist technique has broken through to Great Completion, fist technique +2%】

【Fist technique Great Completion, your body has been tempered, Qi and blood value +0.15】

【Name: Lin Qi (17)】

【Qi and blood value: 5.82→5.97】

【Fist technique: First Realm 89%→91%】

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi withdrew his stance, looked at the panel, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"The Tiger-Form Fist has finally broken through to Great Completion!"
