Chapter 4: Martial Arts Genius

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was not until noon that Sun Chengshan returned with his disciples who still looked angry.

There was a fierce look in his small eyes. It was completely different from the usual indifferent Master.

The disciples in the courtyard kept quiet, as they were afraid to provoke their master accidentally.

Only when Sun Chengshan entered the inner room did everyone heave a sigh of relief. They went forward to ask the disciples who followed for more.

“Hehe, you wouldn’t know if you didn’t go. Our master is too powerful. In the beginning, the Wind’s Aid Hall and the Tiger Killing Dojo were quite unyielding. They even said that our master was bullying the weak.

“Later, Master lost his temper and looked directly for He Xuyang, the master of Wind’s Aid Hall, and Thunder Ding, the master of the Tiger Killing Dojo, to have two duels.”

Zhang Erdan was as excited as a storyteller, enjoying the moment of being surrounded by other disciples.

“What happened next, what happened next!”

The disciples wanted to know the outcome of the duels. Many of the more rational disciples had already guessed the outcome from Zhang Erdan’s energetic expression.

“Of course, our master won. Wind’s Aid Hall and Tiger Killing Dojo were just empty titles!”

Zhang Erdan snorted as if he was the one who won the duels.

When the disciples heard this, they all cheered and respected Sun Chengshan even more.

Including these two matches, Sun Chengshan had already completed five consecutive duels in the town and had won all of them.

Such a record was indeed powerful.

The fifth level of the Body Tempering was so terrifying…

In the afternoon, Song Hezheng returned alone. Iron He was severely injured and needed to rest in the medical center for a few more days.

When he returned, he only said that He’s life was no longer in danger and that he had received the corresponding compensation. This case is closed and he ordered all the disciples to calm down and continue practicing.

After the disciples dispersed, Wang Yu found Song Hezheng.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I have something to ask you.”

When Song saw that it was Wang Yu, his expression softened.

In the past few days, he had seen Wang Yu’s rapid improvement. If nothing went wrong, Wang Yu would definitely reach the first level of Body Tempering within three months.

He was not just another passerby in the dojo like the other temporary disciples.

Therefore, Song was more polite to Wang Yu than to the other temporary disciples.

“Junior Brother Wang, do you have a question on your cultivation?” Song asked gently.

Before Wang Yu shows his techniques, he could not tell Wang Yu’s true cultivation level.

However, he could sense that Wang Yu seemed a little different from yesterday.

“No, I wanted to ask Senior Brother how long it took you to break through to the first level of the Body Tempering after you entered the dojo?” Wang Yu went straight to the point and asked.

Song Hezheng understood and smiled.

In his opinion, Wang Yu asked this question because he was worried about his current cultivation speed. He was afraid that he would not be able to reach the first level of the Body Tempering in three months.

In fact, Wang Yu was not the first person to ask him about their cultivation progress.

He had gone through the same thing himself back then. It was human nature.

“Before Master came here to open a dojo, I had already become his disciple. At that time, Master mentioned that my martial arts aptitude was not bad, so it only took me less than two months to officially reach the first level of Body Tempering.

You need not panic, Junior Brother. With your mastery of the basic fist technique, you’re much faster than I was in the past.

At this rate, it shouldn’t be a problem to reach the first level of Body Tempering in three months. You might even be faster than me. It might even take less than two months.”

As someone who had been through it, Song consoled him patiently.

“Senior Brother, are you the fastest disciple to complete the test?” Wang Yu asked again.

Song He shook his head. “Of course not. Take Junior Brother Ji Fei for example. His aptitude is better than mine. Back then, he only used about a month and a half to reach the first level of Body Tempering.

Furthermore, there were many genius disciples who had left the dojo in the past three years. There were also a few who were at the same level as Junior Brother Ji Fei.

Among them, the one who broke through the fastest only took a month. Compared to them, I was much more mediocre.

“Perhaps they are now already at the fourth level of the Body Tempering or even higher.”

When Wang Yu heard this, he had an idea.

Those extraordinary martial arts geniuses indeed had a unique advantage. It could allow their cultivation speed to exceed that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people might not be able to reach the cultivation realm in three months, but they only needed one or two months.

“In that case, it wouldn’t be going overboard to be even faster.”

Wang Yu had a smile on his face. Coupled with his already gloomy face, he looked more like a scheming villain.

Seeing that Wang Yu seemed to have relaxed, Song Hezheng smiled.

Today, he was being a warm Eldest Senior Brother.

That night, Sun Chengshan was reading several of the latest newspapers on the table.

Among them was a press release about him standing up for his disciple today and defeating two veteran dojo masters in a row.

Once this news spreads further, it would go without saying that his fame in the island town would increase again.

The people of the island town would also accept him more.

“I can also raise the entrance fee that I’ll be charging in the future.”

When Sun Chengshan thought of this, most of his bad mood from today disappeared.

Fortunately, the one injured today was only a relatively ordinary disciple. If it had been Song Hezheng or Ji Fei, the negative impact of this matter would have been greater.

After all, Song Hezheng and Ji Fei were the disciples who can maintain the reputation of the Shadowless Fist Dojo. They represented the disciples of the highest standard in the Shadowless Fist Dojo.

“Song Hezheng’s aptitude is not bad. According to the trend of his cultivation, he feels like a late bloomer.

“As for Ji Fei, the aptitude he displayed in the early stages was even better. He’s also willing to stay in the dojo to work. This kid has a bright future ahead of him. It’s just that his temperament is not as good as Song Hezheng’s. It’s always a problem…”

Just as Sun Chengshan was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it? Come in.”

The door opened and Wang Yu walked in.

“What’s the matter?” Sun Chengshan remembered that Wang Yu was a disciple he had just accepted a few days ago.

According to Song Hezheng, his performance was quite good.

Initially, he had also planned to take some time to see how he was, but he didn’t expect Wang Yu to come looking for him first.

“Master, hope I did not disturb you. I came here tonight to report to you about my cultivation,” Wang Yu said calmly.

“You can just find Zhenghe for matters regarding your cultivation. Why did you look for me?” Sun Chengshan said unhappily.

Usually, he gave Song Hezheng full authority over the temporary disciples.

Only a disciple who had passed the three-month test and reached the first level of Body Tempering would be brought to see him.

Wang Yu was relieved.

He realized that as long as he did not reveal it, even Sun Chengshan, who was at the fifth level of Body Tempering, did not notice that he had broken through.

Of course, it was also possible that he did not even think in that direction.

After all, Wang Yu had only been here for eight days.

“Master, I’ve already perfected the basic fist technique of Shadowless Fist and reached the first level of Body Tempering. Please teach me the follow-up fist technique.”

Wang Yu’s words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Sun Chengshan’s heart.

Sun Chengshan was stunned. Then he said in a low voice, “Don’t joke with me.”

Sun’s first reaction was disbelief.

“It’s true.” Wang Yu’s expression did not change as he said seriously.

Sun was silent for a moment. “Go through the basic fist technique.”

Seeing that Wang Yu was so certain, his tone became slightly less skeptical.

Wang Yu did not waste any time and directly started the routine.

His movements were fluid and flawless.

Sun Chengshan was already extremely shocked. With his experience, how could he not tell that Wang Yu had already perfected his basic fist technique?

Judging from the strength and speed of his punches, he was indeed at the first level of Body Tempering.

“How—how did you do it!”

Sun Chengshan had already stood up and was staring at Wang Yu with a burning gaze, as if he was looking at a rare species.

Wang Yu pretended to be confused and said, “I just listened to Eldest Senior Brother’s daily teachings and practiced diligently in the courtyard every day.”

“Don’t hide anything from me!” Sun Chengshan stepped forward. His tall and thin body which didn’t seem to be terrifying was quite intimidating as he stood in front of Wang Yu.

Wang Yu subconsciously took half a step back and revealed a look of panic.

“Master, what do you mean? Why would I deceive you? What’s there to deceive?”

Seeing how sincere Wang Yu was, Sun Chengshan was a little confused.

Could it be that I was wrong previously? This kid is actually a martial arts genius!

In eight days, he had perfected the Basic Fist Technique and reached the first level of Body Tempering.

Only Sun Chengshan knew how difficult this was.

Of course, it wasn’t true that no one could do it!

In his early years, he had really seen such a genius in the outside world. His perception and physique were basically top-notch.

If they practiced this basic fist technique and used a lot of precious medicinal herbs to bathe and eat, they could achieve it in as soon as three to five days or as slow as half a month.

However, what he could not believe was that Wang Yu was such a genius.

It was as bizarre as being told that his docile domestic cat was actually a cub of a Piebald Tiger.
