May 1.
Su City Dragon Martial, gymnasium.
On the chanism path of the practice room, Lu Chenzhou’s figure sprinted wildly, treating the complex terrain as if it were flat land. He maneuvered his body with excruciating precision, skillfully avoiding every tree branch and every leaf. Behind Lu Chenzhou, Li Gui’s mouth curled upward, transforming into a fierce tiger, exuding a ferocious aura as he leisurely pursued the desperate young tiger ahead.
"When encountering ’Tiger Wind,’ rely on the speed brought by your ’Mysterious Step’ to carry the wind and disrupt the trajectory of your enemy’s hidden weapons, thereby evading the attack.
When facing ’Tiger Spirit God,’ wind follows the tiger as clouds follow the dragon, with the tiger most adept at utilizing the mountain forest winds. Leverage the wind and qi flow to move as swiftly and mystically as if flying amongst the clouds.
..."
As Li Gui pursued and taught, the improvent in Lu Chenzhou’s "Tiger Shadow Mysterious Steps" during this period was evident, leaving fewer flaws in his 72 Tiger Form Steps besides needing more practice to achieve a small success soon.
Once it reached Great Success, it would be flawlessly perfect.
If it reached Perfection, it would beco instinctual, coming with ease.
In terms of cultivating Tiger Form Fist, Lu Chenzhou had never given Li Gui any cause for concern. Up to now, this kid had not encountered any bottlenecks, always having smooth sailing.
Such is the nature of talent.
After class, Lu Chenzhou continued practicing.
Li Gui advised:
"Don’t overexert yourself, rest when you need to; a day or two won’t make a difference."
Having said that, he left on his own.
Other instructors urged their students to strive harder every day.
But he found ways to let his students relax.
"Teacher, you can go back. I’ll leave in a little while."
Lu Chenzhou was focused. He had now reached the Third Realm in his Fist Theory; every gesture and movent he made was as elegant and dangerous as a fierce tiger.
He imagined a white deer running ahead and roared as he chased after it; in his mind, a black tiger spanning across the ages appeared.
It had witnessed temples and the worldly frays, seen the oceans turn to mulberry fields.
Throughout the passages of ti, the soul of the fierce tiger never ceased.
This was the Spiritual Intention of his Tiger Form!
With the elevation in his Boxing Realm, Lu Chenzhou’s comprehension of Tiger Form Fist Boxing and movent techniques also naturally improved, making his actions more lifelike and effortless.
"Roar!"
Lu Chenzhou let out a Tiger Roar Mountain Forest. Ahead, swathes of prival forest collapsed, a boundless black wind swept through, kicking up sand and stones and toppling the pursued white deer.
The Black Tiger landed atop the white deer, which then dissolved into a cloud of smoke.
The dream ended, and Lu Chenzhou opened his eyes.
"Transform into an ancient fierce tiger, bound by nothing in the mountains and forests."
Since reaching the Third Realm in his Fist Theory, his view of Tiger Form Fist had changed: the mountain was no longer just a mountain, not rely a simple fist technique, but rather the myriad subtleties observed by ancient forebears while studying fierce tigers—indescribably profound.
This was the essence of Elephant Form Fist!
The Fist Technique was a bridge, connecting martial artists from ancient tis to the present!
Lu Chenzhou looked towards the Martial Arts Tree.
Unbeknownst to him, his Tiger Shadow Mysterious Steps had quietly made a Breakthrough Realm.
[Tiger Shadow Mysterious Steps: Small Success (1%)]
Among the 22 major Acupoints, the light yet profound Tiger Form dexterity and mysterious power surged, strengthening Lu Chenzhou’s lower body and core.
The waist and hips are crucial parts of movent techniques.
Once transford, feeling his increasingly powerful legs, Lu Chenzhou’s spirit surged; he perford a Shock Step with his right foot, bent his legs slightly, lifted a leg and sprang up as if shot from a cannon, leaping two zhang high, thankfully the practice room’s ceiling was high.
Midair, Lu Chenzhou flipped like a fierce predator from the African savannah, turning several tis before landing lightly on his feet.
Silent upon landing!
Lu Chenzhou felt elated.
"Truly a first-class movent technique."
Now, a re jump could bring him up two floors.
A full-force sprint and leap would probably take him three floors, useful for various unexpected situations—leap buildings instead of taking conventional paths.
Next, Lu Chenzhou moved around the practice room like a young child, leaping and bounding—walls, ceiling, beams, chanism paths...his figure was everywhere.
"With such a movent technique, even dragon pools and tiger dens are accessible."
Feeling tired, Lu Chenzhou concluded his cultivation.
On the Martial Arts Tree, the progress of "Tiger Spirit Divine Fist" also reached 76%. Although he hadn’t experienced any divine inspiration recently, due to the elevation of his Boxing Realm, his cultivation speed was faster than anticipated. It seed he might reach Perfection by the end of the month.
This day, he had long awaited.
Before leaving the practice room, Lu Chenzhou ssaged Li Gui.
[Teacher, I’ve achieved a Small Success in Tiger Shadow Mysterious Steps.]
Not long after, Li Gui replied:
[I know... I knew you wouldn’t rest.]
He understood Lu Chenzhou too well. Every ti before a breakthrough, he had to push through in one go before resting, otherwise, he’d likely be too anxious to sleep at night.
This kid, so eager to progress...
...
House No. 32.
"Chenzhou, our house is really going to be demolished," Lu Guoping observed the news, his face alight with joy.
Li Xianghua said:
"They must compensate us with several million at least, right?"
Lu Chenzhou had just showered and changed into protective gear.
He replied:
"Yeah, just use the compensation money as you see fit."
Lu Guoping said:
"We don’t need that much; just keep a million for your mom and to retire on, and you can have the rest for your increased expenses once you beco a Martial Artist."
"Alright."
Lu Chenzhou was indifferent to it.
With his current money-making capabilities, demolition was just icing on the cake.
He watched the news.
