Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques-Chapter 193 - 187: Dispute

Next, Yang Sheng led them on a tour of Changhe Martial Arts School's training rooms, Martial Arts Dojo, cafeteria, and other facilities. Along the way, Yang Sheng spoke in a calm and patient tone, slowly explaining everything. He even accompanied the two as they observed half a Martial Dao class in the dojo, giving Zhou Yuanjue and Ning Muqing a deep understanding of the entire school.

The coaches teaching here all possessed genuine skill and had achieved a fair amount on the path of the Martial Dao. Most were masters who had progressed from external to internal techniques. In the South, they would at least be considered Advanced Decisive Fist Masters.

For these masters to give up the bright futures awaiting them in the outside world and willingly work as coaches in this martial arts school was a testament to the unique charm of the old headmaster and Changhe Martial Arts School itself.

The cafeteria was also unique, divided into several tiers. Zhou Yuanjue even saw medicinal meals made with secret recipes and precious herbs being sold openly. The prices were far beyond what an ordinary person could afford, but compared to items that are priceless or simply unavailable, anything that could be solved with money was often considered a simple matter.

It was here that Zhou Yuanjue first perceived the immense potential for the widespread practice of the Martial Dao.

He felt that, in terms of its systematic approach and replicability, the Changhe Martial Arts School model had the potential to be rolled out nationwide.

'Chief Commissioner, is this school one of your plans?'

To spread the Martial Dao across the land.

Zhou Yuanjue seemed to sense a transformation slowly gathering momentum within Donghua Country.

Perhaps that would be an extraordinary era.

At five in the afternoon, Yang Sheng had been showing Zhou Yuanjue and Ning Muqing around the school for two hours.

"This is the last stop."

Yang Sheng led the two of them to a massive, stadium-like building. The main entrance was bustling with people coming and going. At the top of the entrance hung a sign with four large words written on it:

Hall of Real Combat!

"The Hall of Real Combat is the liveliest place in our school. It's not just for our students; many outsiders are also drawn by its reputation to come here for sparring and exchanges. You could say it's one of the school's main sources of income."

Smiling, Yang Sheng led the two of them into the Hall of Real Combat.

After entering the Hall of Real Combat, Yang Sheng suddenly realized that something inside seemed off.

There were ten rings in the hall, which should have been buzzing with activity at this time of day. But now, nine of them were empty. The entire crowd was packed around a single ring, creating a noisy, chaotic scene.

"Who is that guy on the ring? Even a senior coach from Changhe Martial Arts School is no match for him?"

"Looks like someone from the Northern Martial Alliance?"

"The Northern Martial Alliance? Never heard of it..."

"..."

Murmurs from the crowd reached Zhou Yuanjue's ears.

"What's going on?"

Frowning, Yang Sheng pulled aside a student watching from the edge of the crowd and asked.

"Coach Yang, it's you! That's great! Someone's here to crash the party. He's already won twelve matches in a row, bad-mouthing the school and fighting ruthlessly. Several students have been seriously injured and sent to the hospital. Just now, Coach Gao went up and lost too. He has a concussion and a broken right arm, and I think the tendons in his hand were severed. I heard the guy is from the Celestial Yang Wang Family. Some students have already gone to get the other coaches. You're here at the perfect time! You have to teach him a lesson for us!"

"What? Old Gao lost too? And he's that badly hurt?! The Celestial Yang Wang Family?"

Hearing this name, Yang Sheng's expression instantly turned grave as his gaze fixed on the man of about thirty standing in the ring. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The man had an ice-cold presence. His knuckles were thick, his palms enormous, and each of his fingers looked like a bird's talon, seeming to contain immense power capable of easily dislocating a person's joints.

'Eagle Claw Grapple.'

'Formless Eagle Claw Skill.'

'It seems he really is from the Celestial Yang Wang Family.'

"If you'll both excuse me, I have something to take care of."

Yang Sheng said to Zhou Yuanjue and Ning Muqing with a grave expression, then pushed through the crowd and walked toward the ring.

'He could already see many people in the crowd recording with their phones. Some might even be from the Northern Martial Alliance. The Alliance clearly hadn't come in peace. If this dragged on too long and the videos spread, it would cause significant damage to Changhe Martial Arts School's reputation.'

'As a member of Changhe Martial Arts School, the school was his home. He couldn't just stand by and watch its reputation be tarnished.'

"The Celestial Yang Wang Family? You mean the Wang Family from the 'Two Families, One Sect' that controls the Celestial Yang Prefecture?"

Zhou Yuanjue asked Ning Muqing in a low voice.

"That's right. The conflict between the Wang Family and Changhe Martial Arts School is long-standing. The Celestial Yang Prefecture was originally the Wang Family's domain, but then Changhe Martial Arts School suddenly appeared, becoming a thorn in their side. The Wang Family has spared no effort in suppressing the school over the years. Recently, the situation has worsened, so provocations like this have probably become common."

Ning Muqing whispered.

ROAR!

Just then, the area erupted into a clamor. Yang Sheng had already stepped onto the ring to face the Martial Artist from the Celestial Yang Wang Family. Without exchanging more than a few words, the two immediately clashed.

"Yang Sheng is likely no match for him. That man from the Wang Family is more than just a Great Master of Fist Techniques."

Ning Muqing was an expert herself, and as she watched the fight, she instantly perceived the disparity in their strength.

On the surface, Yang Sheng was using the White Ape Backflow Technique. He had achieved Mastery of Fist Techniques, possessed formidable stamina, and every move he made exploded with astonishing power. His continuous attacks split the air, suppressing his opponent and drawing repeated cheers from the crowd below.

However, the man from the Celestial Yang Wang Family showed little change in his expression or aura under the relentless assault. He seemed to be on the defensive, but his movements were methodical, his spirit contained, as if something was about to burst forth.

Ning Muqing could only get a rough sense of the situation, but Zhou Yuanjue could feel that the man's Life Magnetic Field was contained, ready to be unleashed at any moment. This was the sign of having reached the state of Holy and Bright.

'This man definitely has malicious intentions. He hasn't used Holy and Bright immediately, likely because he only recently reached this realm and has a limited number of uses. He wants to wait for a lull in Yang Sheng's attacks to unleash his Heart Intent and stun his opponent. That way, even if he strikes a crippling blow, no one could complain, because it would look as if Yang Sheng's reactions suddenly slowed and he was injured by accident.'

Sure enough, after they had fought for nearly two minutes, Yang Sheng was unable to land a decisive blow, and his momentum began to fade. At that exact moment, a sharp glint flashed in the Wang Family man's eyes, and he suddenly unleashed his Heart Intent.

The cry of an eagle soaring through the sky rang in Yang Sheng's ears. His spirit trembled for an instant, his body stiffened, and he was left wide open.

'Dammit!'

Yang Sheng knew this was bad, and his expression changed drastically. But with his spirit stunned by his opponent's Heart Intent, he could no longer evade.

WHOOSH!!

His opponent seized the opportunity, throwing a punch toward his ribs. If this strike landed, it would likely rupture his internal organs. If it hit a specific acupoint, even if he were saved, he would be left with incurable long-term injuries.

'He wanted to cripple Yang Sheng!'

'The conflict between the Wang Family and Changhe Martial Arts School was long-standing. Given the chance, they would show no mercy!'

HUMMM!!

However, at that critical moment, a vibration suddenly ran through Yang Sheng's mind. His Life Magnetic Field, which his opponent had disrupted, instantly stabilized, and he snapped out of the mental shock.

At the same time, a surge of defiant passion welled up in his heart, a desire to shatter all restraints and vanquish his opponent.

He let out a mighty roar and threw a punch.

BAM!

The man from the Wang Family never expected Yang Sheng to break free from the influence of his Heart's Desire Bursting Out. He failed to block and took the punch square in the chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward, collapsing onto the ground.

As if sensing something, Yang Sheng whipped his head around and looked toward a corner of the Hall of Real Combat.
