Chapter 76
Volunteering
Having dealt with all the Wang family outposts, Duan Xuan felt a sense of relief.
Without surveillance and cleared of suspicion, he could do whatever he wanted as before.
As evening fell, Duan Xuan, Zhao Hui, and Zhao Zazhong gathered again in the back mountains of Shetougou.
"Senior Brother Duan, what did Lord Black Wolf say?" Zhao the bastard asked impatiently.
"Lord Black Wolf is not nearby, but you two have performed reasonably well."
The only carelessness was that after killing the Wang family's Dark Force martial artists in the alley, their blood splattered on you, and you didn't clean it up in time.
Let me tell you, when facing a top-tier martial artist specializing in internal energy, you absolutely cannot leave any trace of your presence, whether it's your scent or anything else. Otherwise, your identity will likely be exposed, and they may retaliate against you!
Both Zhao Zazhong and Zhao Hui felt a chill run down their spines when they recalled Zhang Zhuang and his fierce gaze.
It is foreseeable that if Duan Xuan had not arrived in time, the two of them would not have been able to reach the designated location at all.
Perhaps before, or perhaps the instant they arrive, Zhang Zhuang and Wuqing will snap their necks.
"Senior Brother Duan, here are these two whistling arrows back." Zhao Zazhong was quite reluctant to part with them. These were the strongest hidden weapons he had ever seen, capable of killing an unsuspecting martial artist with internal energy.
As we all know, every time an ordinary person crosses a threshold, their body undergoes changes from the inside out.
Once you reach the level of Dark Force, your Qi and blood will nourish your bones and strengthen your skin, making you vulnerable to serious injury from weapons that are not ordinary.
With it, we might be able to do many things, such as finding an opportunity to get rid of Liu Mingze, who had a previous feud with the siblings.
But Duan Xuan wouldn't make such a basic mistake, and without any mercy, he took back both whistle arrows and all the metal arrowheads.
A hint of disappointment and anger flashed in Zhao Zazhong's eyes, but she concealed it well.
"Alright, Lord Black Wolf's test is over."
I will report the details of what happened. You two continue practicing the Hidden Wolf Hunting Technique. In a few days, I will teach you the third level of the Hidden Wolf Hunting Technique!
After saying that, Duan Xuan went up the mountain to hunt.
The next day.
Duan Xuan did not go to Poshan Martial Arts School, but went straight to Renhe Hall.
As soon as I arrived outside Renhetang, I felt the immense oppressive atmosphere inside.
Although Ren Yu won the second boxing match, he was also crippled.
Renhetang hesitated to choose a third fighter because they wanted to win decisively and take back everything that Baiyutang had stolen.
The third martial artist to unleash a fighting punch will face immense pressure, needing to defeat two martial artists with internal strength in succession.
And Renhetang's informant reported this boxing match.
Bai Yutang dispatched Feng Xiu, a master of internal strength who had been painstakingly trained by his family!
Ranked sixteenth on the second-best list of this martial arts examination!
To be able to make it onto the list of martial arts examination candidates, one must possess qualities that surpass those of ordinary internal strength martial artists, whether it be their qi and blood, combat skills, or hunting methods.
It's unclear whether Bai Yutang was boasting or deliberately intimidating Renhetang and the others.

The second fighter who used the fighting fist was not revealed, but the last fighter was revealed instead.
He openly declared in the teahouse that Xiao Xiangbei, the second disciple of the Scale Python Martial Arts School, would fight in the third boxing match.
The Scaled Python Martial Arts School is located in a county outside Yellow Snake County. It has already firmly established itself as the leader.
Although the Poshanzhuang Martial Arts School has produced two exceptional talents with top-tier physical attributes, Lin Hu and Liu Mingze.
However, the Scale Python Martial Arts School possesses two masters of the Transformation Realm: Jiang Zhongkun and his son Jiang Yun, who is out making his way in the world.
The difference in difficulty between entering the realm of "Transformation Force" and entering the realm of "Dark Force" is like heaven and earth.
Lin Hu and his companion cultivated quickly and possessed extremely high comprehension. However, before reaching the Transformation Realm, no one could guarantee that they would truly cross the third threshold.
Jiang Zhongkun was ruthless by nature, and the disciples he taught were just as vicious and treacherous as he was.
Lin Zhennan and Xiao Xiangbei, being the eldest and second disciples respectively, along with Duan Xu, are Jiang Zhongkun's only three personally taught disciples, deeply inheriting his true teachings.
Upon learning of this, Renhetang was in complete turmoil. Even its last remaining ally severed ties with them yesterday, daring not to associate with them again.
Renhetang is now like meat on a chopping board; if it loses the fight, Bai Yutang's knife will fall on its head.
"Young Master, Hall Master, Duan Xuan has come to visit!" Zhou Wei knocked on the wooden door of the conference room, much to the surprise of Ren Wanqing, who was sitting in the main seat, and Ren Yun, who was sitting next to her.
"Please come in quickly!" These days, they have been extremely anxious to find new martial artists, but unfortunately, no matter which martial arts school they are, they are afraid of the retaliation from the Scale Python Martial Arts School and dare not send out any disciples.
Those wandering martial artists are no pushovers; finding a skilled, kind-hearted, and powerful individual in a short time is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Zhou Wei, however, remained unusually calm.
He was gambling. Zhou Wei, who never missed a meeting, stood outside Renhe Hall every day waiting, and today he finally saw Duan Xuan.
Duan Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd and was then invited to the seat of honor.
Before Ren Yun and Ren Wanqing could speak, Duan Xuan said first, "I am willing to give it a try for the third fistfight."
"You?" Apart from Ren Yun and Ren Wanqing, the others had no idea about Duan Xuan's strength and couldn't help but ask in unison.
"Exactly."
That Bai Yutang is going too far; he actually set his sights on my aunt.
But I cannot fight against such a force alone!
Everyone immediately understood that this was a deal.
Duan Xuan wanted to leverage Renhetang's reputation to defeat Baiyutang.
When Renhetang was able to rise again, it received protection from the Duan family.
Everyone understood that this was a mutually beneficial deal, but they didn't trust Duan Xuan.
Just as someone was about to object, Ren Yun placed his hands on his cane and said, "Brother Duan, are you really willing to lend a helping hand to Renhetang?"
"Of course, neither of us has a choice!"
"Young Master, you absolutely mustn't! This concerns the future of Renhetang. If we fall, Renhetang will disappear forever, and our centuries-old ancestral foundation will vanish into thin air!"
"I disagree. We at Renhetang appreciate your good intentions, but we cannot accept a martial artist we don't even know representing us."
"Yes, it's utterly absurd!"
"I agree!" Just as everyone else was expressing their refusal, Ren Wanqing's voice was like a thunderclap, exploding in the crowd's words and ears.
"Wh-what?"
"Miss, you're not joking, are you?"
"I said, I agree!" Ren Wanqing's gaze was firm. She glanced at everyone, and they all lowered their heads like wilted melons.
"Brother Duan dared to stand up at this time to help our Renhetang. We at Renhetang are grateful. Ren Yun, Zhou Lao, Ren Yu, and I know his strength better than anyone else. He is definitely no weaker than Feng Xiu."
From this day forward, Renhetang will form a life-and-death alliance with Brother Duan. No matter the outcome of this battle, the Duan family's affairs will become Ren family's affairs!
If your family members encounter any misfortune, we will definitely risk our lives to save them, even at the cost of our own lives!
Furthermore, you, Duan Xuan, have the right to use all the resources of my Renhe Hall!
Now that things have come to this, Ren Wanqing has no choice but to take a gamble.
She offered to give away almost the entire Renhetang and its resources, clearly demonstrating her sincerity.
Duan Xuan naturally knew the weight of this long speech, and cupped his hands in a fist salute to the two of them.
Just as everyone was ready to give it a try, Duan Xuan suddenly made a startling remark: "But it's not enough."
Renhetang has two conditions for this boxing match with Bai Yutang!
Without surveillance and cleared of suspicion, he could do whatever he wanted as before.
As evening fell, Duan Xuan, Zhao Hui, and Zhao Zazhong gathered again in the back mountains of Shetougou.
