All these twelve years, Wang Xuan has certainly been idling within the Muscle Training Realm, but who dares underestimate him who can naturally lift a cauldron?
His whole body possesses strength enough to hunt fierce tigers, his tendons and bones inherently robust, like tiger bones and ox skin, truly not an ordinary person.
Such a person, born for the Skin Refining Realm, with just a little training, can sweep across the Same Realm, few can match him.
"You have quite the courage." Sun En glanced up at Wang Xuan, seeing him near Chen Qingniu, considered him a rival.
In this Martial Arts Hall, there are three Land Immortals, Hall Master Chen is Chen Qingniu's father, and another formidable Vice Hall Master Sun Yi is Sun En's father.
That Hall Master position, years ago, Sun Yi lost it to Hall Master Chen by a mere move, always bearing resentment, and this opposition passed to the next generation.
Chen Qingniu has suppressed his Sun En for years, and though outsiders do not know of the Hall Master's downfall, how could he not?
Some rejoice, others grieve, the grave injuries to Senior Brother Chen Qingniu and the disappearance of the Hall Master, benefiting his father and son, thereby their mood is expectedly good.
Then, isn't the Hall Master position surely his father's? Thus, in this Martial Arts Hall, isn't his Sun En at liberty to move about? Who dares provoke him!
"A Martial Artist without some boldness, how can one be called a Martial Artist, right, Senior Brother Sun?" Wang Xuan said.
Sun En couldn't help but applaud, "So boldly valiant, I barely knew you had such nerve, yet just days ago you were in the Muscle Training Realm, now you claim to be in the Skin Refining Realm, who in the Hall would believe that?"
Wang Xuan's realm, most in the Martial Arts Hall know it; he's made some progress in his two, three years in the Hall, yet remains at the Muscle Training level.
One day, Wang Xuan suddenly claims he entered the Muscle Strengthening Realm; people in the Hall will marvel, let alone reaching the Skin Refining Realm.
"Realm levels are determined by people, I say my realm exceeds Zhao Huang's, he doesn't believe it, nor does anyone. But if I punch him dead, and say my realm surpasses his, who could deny it, right?"
Wang Xuan chuckled, staring at Zhao Huang, unsettling him. The example truly shocked Zhao Huang; just what does it mean to punch him dead?
"Senior Brother Sun, can my application be approved?" Wang Xuan asked.
Sun En nodded, "Your mouth indeed is formidable, with all these conditions met, I have no reason not to approve your application, but…"
"Dare I ask, Senior Brother Sun, but what?" Wang Xuan inquired.
"But I don't trust your abilities. You claim eligibility to be an assistant instructor, yet I feel you're lacking, thus needing assessment, you should know the review rules, right?" Sun En's lips curled into a cold smile.
Messing with you as a lowly sparring partner? That's an easy feat, just his Sun En's word can achieve it.
From now on, this Martial Arts Hall is his Sun En and father's domain!
"Return tomorrow! We need to visit our dear Senior Brother Chen." Sun En indicated he had no time today, deferring matters to tomorrow.
Wang Xuan nodded, "Then I'll return tomorrow to gain qualification as an assistant instructor." With a fist salute, he swiftly departed.
He understood the review rules, which is defeating three assistant instructors in sequence; achieve it, regardless of other conditions, and one can become an assistant instructor. The review for instructors follows suit, the strictest method.
Turning his back, Wang Xuan deeply furrowed his brow, this scoundrel, appearing proper but clearly against him.
He Sun En may be jade, but I Wang Xuan am stone; when collided, who suffers more loss? Just a fool, disgracing himself!
Wang Xuan knew, actually he shouldn't clash with this Sun En; a step back leads to vast seas and skies, after a while returning, perhaps there'd be a different situation.
Yet upon considering bowing to this Sun En, his heart felt troubled, might as well leave the Martial Arts Hall, find a place until Meiling matters calm, restore his foundation via Life Generating Technique, and join a sect alike to equally rise.
Cultivation is cultivation, doing so spinelessly, living like a thousand-year-old tortoise—what meaning does that hold?
Not lingering in the Martial Arts Hall, otherwise who knows what trouble they'd cause him. Thinking of Senior Brother Chen Qingniu still in the hospital, Wang Xuan purchased some gifts, preparing to visit.
As soon as Wang Xuan left, Zhao Huang clamored, "Young Master Sun, how can you allow this kid's application, yet make him undergo assessment, what if he passes, he does have some skill."
"Enough with the fuss!" Sun En flung his sleeve, "Hall's rules are rules, in public we must adhere, or the elders will be displeased. I give Wang Xuan a bit of hope, but will crush it again, leaving him unable to crawl, isn't that better than outright rejecting his application? You two are real idiots!"
Boarding the hover car, Sun En swiftly headed to the hospital, a rare opportunity to see Senior Brother Chen Qingniu in such dire condition!
Oppressed for over ten years, now it was time for his Sun En to rise and shine!
On the way, he opened his personal terminal, quickly asked the person on the call, "You guys barely reliable, failing even to settle a little lackey, how can I trust your ability to get things done?
Today, today Wang Xuan must end up in the hospital, broken hands, broken feet, I don't care, tomorrow I don't want to see him standing before me!
Indeed, that kid might possess Peak of Skin Refining strength, forgot to tell you last time, hope you handle things competently, don't underestimate."
Hung up after speaking, the hover car smoothly landed atop the hospital building, he needed to visit Senior Brother Chen Qingniu.
In the special care ward, Chen Qingniu lay within a massive nutrient pod, the light green medicinal liquid aiding the wound spanning shoulder to waist gradually healing, free from external disturbance, liquid capable of sterilization and reducing inflammation, an exceptionally suitable environment for severely injured individuals.
Nano robots had already spread through the wound, conducting precise suturing, simultaneously aiding bodily circulation, complemented externally by various instruments monitoring his vitals, any slight change observable.
The elders appeared around sixty, all troubled, with the Hall Master fallen, Qingniu gravely injured, their faction strongly impacted.
Chen Qingniu, nearly stepping into the Earth Immortal Realm; within a few more years, it would've been incredibly secure, prospects infinite, yet who knew such an event would arise today.
Soon, Sun En appeared, carrying a bouquet without anything else, seeing Chen Qingniu heavily injured, hearing yesterday the flesh rolled revealing ghastly bones, a trace of unobservable smile emerged on his face.
Upon approaching, he turned showing a sorrowful expression, "Senior Brother, what's happened to you? Who wounded you, I'll avenge you!
With the Hall Master dead, you can't die; if you do, won't the Hall Master have no descendants to offer incense at grave rituals?"
He rambled on here loudly for quite some time, till the elders could not bear it, directly drove him away.
"Truly a wolf pup." Several elders shook their heads.
…
The Invincible Iron Fist Gang has quite a reputation in Yuzhang City; though it's a gang in the streets, outwardly poses as a security company, its business quite expansive.
Talking of the name Invincible Iron Fist Gang, causes people to shake heads for ages, countless laughed at it; can't even choose a good name, members embarrassed to declare themselves.
Otherwise, on declaring, it's "I am so-and-so from Invincible Iron Fist Gang," isn't that jarring, better remain silent, saving face.
Yet few dare mock in Yuzhang City, for the leader is an Earth Immortal powerhouse, negligible to bigwigs, yet common folks must look up.
At the branch hall, within a lavish mansion bathed in brilliance, the Hall Master toyed with two Jade Cores, just concluded a call with Sun En, expressionless.
Sun En is insignificant, a tiger father bred a dog son; his father is whom the Invincible Iron Fist Gang seeks to associate, else the Hall Master wouldn't deign to notice Sun En.
"Hongyi, come over here." The Hall Master commanded.
Soon, a man dressed in red appeared, long hair flowing, long blade at waist, exceedingly handsome, charming numerous young women.
"Hall Master, you sought me?"
The man in red, quite young, no older than twenty-five or six, already at Organ Refining Realm, with fiery blood and bold personality.
Preferring red clothing, fearing bloodstains trouble, better dressed in red, not revealing blood regardless of amount.
He gained fame early on, outsiders awarded his nickname—Red-clothed Guest, a title many Martial Arts Masters in Blood Exchange Realm aspire to earn.
Straightforward in speech, seemingly transparent in intentions for others.
"Why did the last task not proceed smoothly?" The Hall Master asked with a mild tone.
Red-clothed Guest shook his head, "Considered it a trivial matter, underestimated the opponent, overestimating Gao Lin. Those guys really know how to flatter, yet unreliable.
"Attend to this matter personally, impermissible to fail, except not causing life loss, you may act as you wish."
"Understood." Red-clothed Guest waved goodbye, nonchalantly departing.
