Martial Saint!

Chapter 174 - 0142 Ninth Rank realm (4k)_2

Chapter 174: 0142 Ninth Rank realm (4k)_2The gap with the genius class was just too large.

Lu Chenzhou found his father’s account and transferred 200,000 for daily expenses. Lu Guoping did not refuse; he knew his son was capable of earning a lot. The purchase of protective gear some time ago had indeed depleted much of the family’s savings.

Lu Chenzhou then dialed Qin Zheng’s number.

"Qin Zheng, give me a bank account number."

[What’s up?]

"I borrowed 600,000 from you before, right? I’m paying you back now."

[Well, Chenzhou, you don’t need to hurry, I know you’re in need of money right now. You can pay me back later. My dad isn’t worried either.]

"I won a bit of prize money in a competition recently; I have money now."

[Oh? You competed?]

"Didn’t you follow the Jiangnan Elite Competition?"

[No, I haven’t been keeping up with Martial Arts recently, busy preparing for the college entrance exams.]

Qin Zheng

He calmed his emotions and said,

"Good, show me a demonstration."

Lu Chenzhou’s Qi sank to his Dantian, strands of Divine Power emerged from his acupoints, accompanied by the faint sound of a tiger’s roar. He had already invited the tiger to possess him. His body visibly toughened by a degree. He shouted loudly, and his forceful Tiger God Boxing Technique exploded through the air, its imposing force rivaling the Baji Fist, as if aided by the Tiger God itself, fierce and awe-inspiring.

After the demonstration, Li Gui’s eyes sparkled as he said,

"Good, good, good!"

He repeated "good" three times, drawing the attention of the other Fist Technique teachers and students in the class, wondering why Iron-faced Tiger seemed like a completely different person.

Suddenly, Li Gui said,

"Lu Chenzhou, let’s spar. I want to see your understanding of transforming power."

"Sure, teacher."

He readied himself, and the serious Li Gui in front of him instantly exuded a vast tiger-like imposing aura that pressed down on Lu Chenzhou as if facing an abyss.

Bang!

Li Gui moved swiftly like a darting rabbit, stepping right in front of Lu Chenzhou. He threw an unadorned punch, causing Lu Chenzhou’s body to shake. His arm and fist resonated oddly, and upon colliding with Li Gui’s fist, a sound akin to clashing metal armor reverberated around them. It was as if pieces of heavy armor were shedding at the moment of contact. Accompanied by the falling armor, the probing force from Li Gui was mostly dissipated.

Li Gui retracted his hand, nodding and saying,

"Good! General Armor Removal Force! This power is best at transforming force when clashing with a formidable opponent. It serves both defensive and offensive purposes without affecting one’s own punching power. However, purely in terms of defense, the Yin Yang Umbrella Spin that you’ve comprehended from Tiger Supreme Fist is even more formidable, better suited to complex and varying combat situations."

General Armor Removal Force, originally derived from Baji Fist.

Lu Chenzhou seemed enlightened.

"I understand, teacher. I will use it flexibly in the future."

Li Gui said,

"Continue practicing. In tomorrow’s Fist Technique class, I’ll teach you an important Tiger Form Body Technique ’Tiger Shadow Mysterious Steps.’ ’Mountain Crossing Body’ is useful, but for a Ninth Rank Cultivation, it’s too basic. In your future competitions, you’ll be facing geniuses at the Ninth and Tenth Ranks. Without a First Class body technique, you’ll find yourself at a significant disadvantage."

"Understood."

Lu Chenzhou knew if he was only participating in competitions with participants of low-class root bone, then Mountain Crossing Body would suffice. However, to compete in more prestigious events like the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition, with Third Class body techniques, he could easily be outmaneuvered by geniuses.

Even invincible Hard Qigong was of little help.

In Martial Arts Cultivation, when competing against opponents of the same level, body technique was also crucial.

A poor body technique meant vulnerabilities everywhere.
