Junior, Martial Saint's Guidance

twilight

A gentle orange-red hue spread across the horizon, like a spilled jar of honey, turning the wispy clouds into a translucent amber color.

As October arrives, the evening breeze brings a pleasantly refreshing coolness.

Because everyone knows that the monthly exam results are being released today,

The entrance to the No. 7 Middle School, a key high school, was already bustling with traffic.

Many parents chose to get out of their cars, light a cigarette in the evening breeze, and chat with other parents who were also there to pick up their children.

Zhou Xinmin, naturally, also bowed slightly and respectfully lit a Liqun cigarette for the middle-aged man next to him who stood upright and exuded the air of a long-serving official.

After the two of them had been smoking together for a while, their phones started buzzing with message notifications one after the other.

The middle-aged man with the straight posture received it first, while Zhou Xinmin was a step behind.

However, after both of them had finished reading the messages about the monthly exam on their phones,

He quickly moved closer to discuss the monthly exam results, and took the opportunity to continue their friendly conversation.

"Director Ye, your son's grades have improved very quickly. It's a sure thing that he'll be admitted to the elite class in the final exams. At this rate, he'll definitely be in the Nine Schools Alliance this year."

Although it was somewhat flattering, Ye Jianhua couldn't help but smile when he saw Ye Liuyun's steady progress, and his stern face softened considerably.

"Both of your younger relatives are quite good, especially Xiao Zhou, who improved by five places in the elite class, which shows great potential."

When they started talking about their respective outstanding children, the two of them naturally praised each other highly, and the conversation flowed freely.

"Speaking of which, another genius emerged from No. 7 Middle School in this monthly exam. He jumped from 240th to 82nd in just one month. He has exceptional talent."

"Huh? Is that so?" Zhou Xinmin was somewhat surprised.

He was so focused on looking at his two children's and Ye Liuyun's rankings that he didn't pay attention to anything else.

"It's a student named Li Xijun. In just one month since the start of the semester, his Qi and Blood level has increased from 5.7 to 6.4. He has extremely strong martial arts talent, especially his performance in actual combat, which caught the eye of the exterior viewer of Qingquan Chunhui Palace."

"Huh? This speed... is that right?!" Zhou Xinmin was somewhat incredulous when he heard it for the first time.

"That kid was an orphan. He was very talented in his first year of high school, but he lacked resources. He also suffered a hidden injury from rigorous training, which slowed him down for a while, preventing him from reaching his full potential. Later, Mr. Zhang from Class Six recognized his talent and helped him apply for scholarships and other assistance, providing him with ample resources. That's why he soared to great heights!"

"If he can get into the top 30 in the grade by the end of the semester, he will basically be considered to have successfully become an apprentice."

Speaking of this, Ye Jianhua couldn't help but show a look of envy.

That's the Qingquan Chunhui Palace, one of the two most prestigious palaces in the capital. Everyone who comes out there is at the peak of their generation in terms of combat power, with unlimited potential.

Being chosen and taught by such a powerful figure in the external realm must bring countless benefits.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xinmin, on the other side, heard a somewhat familiar name...

She gradually recalled the relationship between the other party and her nephew Zhou Yibai.

This made his heart race, but he continued to agree with the other person on the surface.

Until he saw Zhou Shenghao and Zhou Yibai leave the school gate, he immediately said goodbye to Ye Jianhua.

He pulled the two of them back into the car almost impatiently.

The car door had barely closed, and the engine hadn't even been started, when Zhou Xinmin turned around, beaming, and said:

"Yi Bai, you truly are a good nephew of your uncle. Your taste in making friends is impeccable, far superior to your cousin's."

"We used to eat together often. You can keep in touch with your friend who's going home, and bring him home for dinner sometime. Young people should get to know each other better, and maybe he can become friends with your cousin too."

"Oh, by the way, my uncle's friend just gave me a box of nourishing tea a few days ago. How about I invite him to the second floor of the cafeteria tomorrow for a meal and some tea..."

Zhou Xinmin was speaking eloquently, instructing his son and nephew as if he were a teacher.

But as he was engrossed in his conversation, he failed to notice the increasingly uncontrollable expressions on Zhou Shenghao and Zhou Yibai's faces.

Just as Zhou Shenghao was about to explode, Zhou Yibai couldn't help but whisper in a low voice:

"Uncle, um... I'm afraid I won't be able to call Brother Li anymore..."

...........................

The day

Dasheng World

Having broken through the physical barrier, Li Xijun naturally went to the Killing Martial Arts School to find Yu Xiangyang and learn the forty-eight forms of the "Tiger Demon Bone Forging Fist" to strengthen his muscles and bones.

However, when Li Xijun arrived at the gate,

A martial arts apprentice who usually guarded the gate ran over from a distance when he saw him coming.

"Junior Brother Li has arrived. Senior Brother Yu told me that you don't need to go to the small courtyard today; you can go directly to the martial arts hall in the main residence."

"Oh? What's going on?"

Upon hearing this news, Li Xijun instinctively pressed for more information with caution.

But the apprentice who was guarding the gate remained silent and only smiled at him.

Li Xijun immediately took out a few silver dollars and handed them over. Only then did the other party speak:

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard it was the master's order. Junior Brother Li, you'd better be careful with your words and actions when you go."

This made Li Xijun even more suspicious, but on the surface he nodded calmly and walked through the martial arts arena without any sign of anything unusual, and went straight into the martial arts hall of the main residence of the martial arts school.

"Disciple Li Xijun......"

Before Li Xijun could finish his polite words after entering, the white-haired, bearded old man, who was sitting in a grand chair drinking tea, suddenly had a glint in his eyes and burst into laughter the moment he saw the other person:

"Haha, I originally wanted to lend you a hand, but I didn't expect you to break through to the flesh and skin realm faster than I thought."

"Truly astonishing talent, beyond my expectations!"

Zhang Fuhu's loud and boisterous laughter shook the roof beams.

Meanwhile, the seven or eight people in the training ground all looked at Li Xijun with surprise.

Yu Xiangyang was surprised that Li Xijun arrived earlier than he had anticipated.

The young man in shorts and the girl with braids who were paying for Li Xijun's martial arts training were genuinely out of control, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They were well aware that Li Xijun had only been a student at the martial arts school for a little over twenty days.

As a result, when they saw each other again, the other party had already reached the Bone and Tendon Realm!

It should be noted that a martial artist at this level, in a small inland city, would already be at the level of a local constable or security team leader.

Even in Tianjin, where martial arts are prevalent, if one doesn't want to save money and take risks for refining filth, one can easily find a comfortable job in a wealthy family or merchant guild.

And Li Xijun only used such a short time!

With such talent and the other party's immense wealth, strengthening his bones and refining his internal organs would probably be no problem at all. He's definitely on track to become a Grandmaster of Marrow Cleansing!

Thinking of this, Meng Qifeng and Meng Zihan, the brother and sister, couldn't help but exchange a glance, both feeling a little regretful for entrusting this exceptionally talented genius to Yu Xiangyang for instruction.

"Not bad, not bad. Next, I will personally teach you the Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist, which is at the Tendon and Bone Realm."

Zhang Fuhu stepped forward and pulled Li Xijun to the center of the spacious martial arts hall.

He then waved to some of the martial arts school's trusted disciples whom he had originally instructed.

That's enough for today. You can all go about your business.
