Chapter 6 The Ultimate Weapon
When Chen Qiyuan returned to Wangjia Lane, it was already completely dark, around eight or nine o'clock at night. The lane was pitch black, and most of the nearby residents had gone to sleep.
After finishing dinner, Meng Junfei suggested continuing the party, offering to take him to a brothel to broaden his horizons, but he righteously refused. As a result, he gained a few more points of proficiency, unexpectedly mastering the "Strange Steps" technique.
This Meng Junfei is really interesting; he's truly generous, not just talk. He actually treated everyone present to dinner at Tianfu Restaurant, setting up three tables with a very lavish meal.
A single table of food would cost at least ten or eight taels of silver. Three tables would require twenty or thirty taels. For an average family of five, that would be enough to cover their expenses for two years.
No wonder he's so popular; who wouldn't like a rich young master who's so generous?
Of course, he was also very emotional, and in two separate instances, he provided him with over twenty points of proficiency.
He's such a good person.
Chen Qiyuan is determined to be friends with this person.
Before long, they arrived at his home.
Seeing the faint light coming from inside the house, he felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that his aunt was waiting for him.
The door was ajar; it opened with a push.
"Auntie, I'm back."
After entering the house, Chen Qiyuan closed the door behind him and bolted it shut.
Aunt Chen Xiaoling came out with an oil lamp and asked with concern, "Why are you so late? Did something happen?"
Sanya followed behind her, yawning.
Chen Qiyuan said, "A senior classmate insisted on taking me out to dinner, which is why I came back late."
When Chen Xiaoling approached and saw that he reeked of alcohol, she immediately felt relieved. "Come inside quickly."
"Look what I brought you."
After Chen Qiyuan entered the room, he took out an oil paper package from behind his back and placed it on the table. As soon as the oil paper was opened, a rich aroma of meat wafted out.
Sanya, who was just yawning, suddenly became wide awake, staring intently at the roast chicken on the table, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing how hungry Sanya looked, he broke off a chicken leg and handed it to her, saying with pity, "Eat it."
Then he tore off another chicken leg and gave it to his aunt.
Chen Xiaoling quickly said, "You eat it."
"I'm already stuffed. This was specially brought for you guys."
Chen Qiyuan forced the food into her hand, and then he heard "mmm-mmm-" sounds coming from inside the room. He said, "You guys eat, I'll go in and check on things."
Then, he went into the room and saw Wang Dawei lying on the bed with a rag stuffed in his mouth, trying to make a sound. His eyes flashed with hatred upon seeing him.
[Wang Dawei was filled with resentment; your Tiger Form Fist technique took the opportunity to gain some proficiency.]
There's only a little left.
It seems that the greater the difference in cultivation level, the less proficiency can be gained.
Chen Qiyuan became even more certain of his guess.
In that case, this person is useless to him.
"Ugh—"
Wang Dawei seemed to sense the murderous intent in his eyes and let out a terrified scream.
[Wang Dawei felt fear, and your "Hun Yuan Zhuang" technique seized the opportunity to gain some proficiency.]
"Xiao Yuan."
Suddenly, Chen Xiaoling walked in, looked at her husband on the bed, and said, "Dr. Zhang came to see him during the day and said that his spine was damaged and he was now a cripple. Except for his head, he couldn't move his whole body. He'll have to lie there for the rest of his life. This is his retribution."
Chen Qiyuan said, "People like this are just wasting food."
Then, he turned and left the room.
Chen Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Dawei deserved to die, but Xiao Yuan must not have his blood on her hands. After all, he was Xiao Yuan's uncle.
That would make people gossip about Xiaoyuan behind her back.
……
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
From the training ground of Wu's Martial Arts School, Pang Guoyong's cursing could be heard from afar: "You idiot, I've taught you so many times, and you still can't learn?"
On the side, other students were watching, some were having fun, and others were taking the opportunity to review the martial arts techniques taught by Pang Guoyong.
Today, another new student has mastered the Ming Jin (明劲) technique and came to Pang Guoyong to learn martial arts.
This is a rare opportunity.
Pang Guoyong's rule is that each person is only taught once. If they want to learn again, they either have to give a gift, or they can only have the opportunity to learn again when teaching a new person, like this.
Chen Qiyuan was also present until a notification popped up in front of him: "[Liu Shijie is filled with shame and anger; your 'Tiger Form Fist' has taken the opportunity to steal ten points of proficiency.]"
That's right, the one who grasped the essence of Ming Jin this time was none other than the old acquaintance Liu Shijie. He spent three and a half months developing his strength, which is considered quite fast.
After Chen Qiyuan broke through half a month ago, the range of his golden finger also increased. As long as the distance does not exceed ten meters, it can be triggered.
At this point, his strength had improved significantly compared to half a month ago.
Name: Chen Qiyuan
[Technique: Hunyuan Stance (Minor Success 104/200)]
Martial Arts Skills: Tiger Fist (Proficiency 194/200), Mysterious Step (Proficiency 32/200)
The most significant improvement is in the "Tiger Style Fist," which is about to break through to the next stage, at which point its combat power will definitely see a substantial increase.
At this rate, it will only take half a month to master internal strength.
However, the further you progress in martial arts training, the harder it becomes to improve. Even with a cheat code, it's still the same.
As his cultivation level increases, there will be fewer and fewer people in the martial arts school who are stronger than him.
His advantage lies in his strong social skills; he wants to make as many friends as possible, but high-quality friends like Meng Junfei are rare.
After Pang Guoyong finished instructing Liu Shijie, Chen Qiyuan asked a senior brother beside him, "Senior Brother Qian, why hasn't Senior Brother Meng come to the martial arts school these past few days? I haven't seen him for several days."
Qian Gang, Meng Junfei's trusted henchman, said with some worry, "Senior Brother Meng has been cultivating his mind and body at home recently. He was almost at the point of comprehending the hidden strength, but recently he relaxed his mind and his cultivation has actually regressed quite a bit."
Chen Qiyuan chuckled upon hearing this. Meng Junfei had at least 30 or 40 points of proficiency in the "Hun Yuan Zhuang" technique had been taken away by him; it would be strange if he didn't regress.
He said, "I see. I hope he can successfully comprehend the hidden strength."
These words were absolutely sincere; only when Meng Junfei's cultivation level was raised to a higher level could he reap the rewards more easily.
It seems I need to raise a few more fat sheep. I can't just pluck one person at a time; I'll end up fleecing them all.
After reflecting for a while, Chen Qiyuan began to look for a new candidate.
Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly, "Senior Sister Wen, Senior Sister Wen is here!"
The mention of "Senior Sister Wen" excited all the young men present, causing them to stop what they were doing and look in that direction.
Chen Qiyuan also looked up and saw a sweet-looking, gentle young woman walking over. It was Wen Zhenzhen, Wu Tianhuan's eighth disciple.
She was Wu Tianhuan's only female disciple and also served as the martial arts school's physician, treating anyone who was injured.
For a group of young men who specialize in martial arts and have excessive hormones, the existence of such a beautiful young woman is enough to excite them.
Moreover, this Senior Sister Wen is gentle and treats all disciples equally, without discriminating against any disciple just because their family is poor.
To them, such a woman was like a fairy.
Even the original owner of this body was quite moved by this Senior Sister Wen.
However, soon everyone's attention fell on the man next to Wen Zhenzhen. The man had dark skin, a heroic appearance, and looked somewhat familiar.
"It's Zhao Feng!"
Someone shouted.
It was actually Zhao Feng?
Chen Qiyuan was a little surprised. It was hard to connect the confident man in front of him with the rustic boy who had almost fainted from excitement in front of Wu Tianhuan just half a month ago.
Indeed, a man's charm comes from his confidence.
Wen Zhenzhen and Zhao Feng walked by, chatting and laughing, their expressions quite intimate.
"How...did they end up together?"
"Could it be...?"
"No, absolutely impossible—"
[Liu Shijie, consumed by jealousy, has taken the opportunity to steal two points of proficiency from your "Hun Yuan Zhuang" skill.]
[Qian Gang, consumed by jealousy, has seized the opportunity to steal ten points of proficiency from your "Hun Yuan Zhuang" skill.]
【…】
Chen Qiyuan was stunned when more than a dozen notifications popped up in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, his mastery of the "Hun Yuan Zhuang" technique was almost at its maximum.
I opened the panel and took a look.
Name: Chen Qiyuan
[Technique: Hunyuan Stance (Minor Success 197/200)]
Martial Arts Skills: Tiger Fist (Proficiency 194/200), Mysterious Step (Proficiency 32/200)
"That's way too exaggerated."
Chen Qiyuan suddenly turned his head, his eyes lighting up as he watched Wen Zhenzhen's departing figure. This was the perfect tool for plundering proficiency!
