Chapter 79 Breakthrough to the First Acupoint! The Martial Arts Examination Begins!
Chapter 80 Breakthrough in One Acupoint! The Martial Arts Examination Begins!
"Cui Wanhe, you old hag, guarding this arena like this, and nobody dares to come up and fight you. Why don't you come over here and we'll have a little spar?"
On the adjacent ring, a bald, giant man, shirtless, with muscles bulging like granite, shouted a taunt at the central ring, his voice booming like thunder.
The crowd below erupted in cheers.
"It's Sun Yan from the Ironclad Martial Arts School. He's also a master of the three acupoints. I heard he's already cultivated the Nine Revolutions Ironclad Technique to the third revolution. His hard skills are terrifyingly strong; ordinary martial artists simply can't break through his defenses!"
"This is going to be interesting. I wonder if they'll start fighting beforehand. Both of them are hot favorites to win the martial arts exam."
Sun Yan?
Su Yu's gaze narrowed slightly.
Wang Niantan once highly praised this person, saying that he made people "unable to feel the urge to compare".
Continuing to read down the booklet, sure enough, the second person was Sun Yan.
Sun Yan is rumored to possess special innate talent, at least comparable to upper-middle-class talent. Even in his youth, he possessed terrifying strength; once, in a fit of rage, he knocked a charging water buffalo to the ground with a single punch.
He is hailed as the most talented person in Ironclad Martial Arts School in decades!
He also had a younger brother named Sun Shi, whose talent was weaker than his brother's, but he was still far from ordinary.
Su Yu's gaze swept towards the third arena, where a silent young man stood, bearing a resemblance to Sun Yan; this must be Sun Shi.
Compared to Sun Yan's arrogance, Sun Shi was much quieter, but his imposing physique was also impossible to ignore.
Faced with the provocation, Cui Wanhe merely glanced at it coldly before looking away.
His purpose in coming here to defend the title is simply to push his reputation to its peak. Then, with absolute strength, he can win first place in the martial arts examination. That way, he will be valued by the three major families and the Black Stone Army. Perhaps he can even get investment from the three major families. With his talent and enough resources, his potential will definitely not be limited to just the Hongshan Martial Arts School in the outer city!
Seeing that the two on the stage did not fight, the crowd dispersed, their enthusiasm waning.
The arena competition was bustling for months before, but with the arrival of Cui Wanhe and his group, there haven't been any matches for several days now.
Su Yu also moved aside and continued walking towards the martial arts school.
He continued flipping through the booklet as he walked.
There must be at least a hundred people participating in this martial arts examination; this booklet alone lists a full hundred names.
It seems quite difficult to get into the top two, no wonder Master Qin and the others don't have high hopes for me.
However, apart from champions like Cui Wanhe, most martial artists of this age, who are beginners, have not yet broken through any acupoints.
Moreover, many of them are like Cao Bin, whose potential has been exhausted after breaking through to the martial arts realm. Excluding these, there are probably still a few dozen people with real strength who will compete for the top twenty.
"what?"
Su Yu quickly found a familiar name and discovered that Chen Fan was also on the list.
Chen Fan, a top-tier talent with exceptional physical attributes from the White Ape Martial Arts School, is a master of acupoints and possesses unparalleled skill with the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade. He has won seven consecutive matches in the arena and is a strong contender for the top ten.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Since Chen Fan is a strong contender for the top ten, then I know my own strength.
As the martial arts examination draws near, the atmosphere in the city grows increasingly feverish, with everyone eagerly anticipating this grand event.
The major gambling dens have released their odds, and teahouses and taverns are filled with discussions about who will win.
Outside the city, however, the scene was quite different.
The refugees roamed like locusts, moving about strangely during the day.
However, the decaying Blackstone City outside the city is not being ignored. In the past two days, the enforcement team that Senior Sister Lin belongs to has also begun to go out of the city to investigate.
On this day, in the martial arts arena, Senior Sister Lin looked at Su Yu and the other two with a solemn expression: "Su Yu, you three must make it into the top twenty in this martial arts competition!"
"The three major families are going all out. The top twenty will not only get into the enforcement team, but will also receive a large apartment in the outer city, plus a quota for their entire clan to enter the city!"
"In addition, once the martial arts examination concludes and the enforcement team is replenished, they will launch an operation to quell the unrest outside the city. At that time, the three major families will take the lead, and numerous forces will offer substantial rewards to incentivize the enforcement team!"
"If you can seize this opportunity, you will surely go much further on your martial arts journey!"
The three of them were all shocked upon hearing this.
With the three major families taking the lead and numerous forces offering rewards, you can imagine how many good things are involved!
In the days that followed, Su Yu devoted all his time to practicing the White Ape Fist. With the help of the nourishing pills that Senior Sister Lin and Lin Xiaotian would occasionally send him, Su Yu's White Ape Fist finally achieved a new breakthrough a week before the martial arts examination.

[White Ape Fist Breakthrough to Proficiency Level]
[Martial Arts]: White Ape Fist (Level 1) (Proficiency 1/7000)
The next moment, insights into the White Ape Fist flooded into Su Yu's mind. He sat down cross-legged, quickly digesting the various insights into the fist technique.
Immediately afterwards, a qualitative change occurred in the body.
With a muffled boom, the bottlenecks of the four acupoints—the Laogong point in the palm and the Yongquan point in the sole—disappeared as if they had been sealed off for a long time. At that moment, it was as if four long-sealed doors had opened naturally.
"Buzz!"
The four acupoints trembled violently, as if an endless suction force emanated from within, transforming into four greedy vortexes.
Deep within his dantian, something seemed to stir, and a surge of qi and blood welled up like a mountain stream, rumbling along his meridians to his limbs and bones, finally converging into what appeared to be a real acupoint.
The entire process made Su Yu feel like he was in heaven and death. The surging blood and qi washed over his body, as if to burst his meridians, making his body even stronger without any surprise.
But the feeling of violent torment is also excruciating.
He gritted his teeth and endured it, watching the four acupoints like a deep abyss, constantly devouring his qi and blood. The qi and blood in his hands and feet kept rumbling and exploding, and streams of heat surged up, frantically nourishing the skin of his limbs.
The original skin tone became even whiter and more like jade, especially the hands and feet, where the lines became clearer, the muscles became tighter, and the skin membrane was stretched to the extreme, yet it was full of amazing resilience.
Finally, after half an hour, the thunderous sounds within his body gradually subsided.
Su Yu suddenly stood up, feeling an unprecedented and terrifying force filling his limbs and bones.
Especially the limbs, not only are they incredibly strong, but it also seems that it becomes so easy for them to unleash their qi and blood.
It's as if, in the blink of an eye, the blood and energy there could ignite and transform into boundless destructive power, destroying everything!
A glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes as he looked at the ironwood stake in front of him.
He didn't gather his strength or strike a pose; he simply used his newly transformed jade hands to casually deliver a hand chop.
"puff!"
A soft sound.
Without the explosion of flying sawdust, Su Yu's palm cut silently into the hard ironwood stake as if slicing tofu, until it disappeared into the base of his palm!
Pulling out his hand, a smooth, mirror-like cut was left on the ironwood stake, while Su Yu's palm was left without even a trace of white or red.
"So powerful! This is the transformation after breaking through the Four Extreme Acupoints!"
"I underestimated this level before!"
"Not only has his physical strength been comprehensively enhanced, but his limbs have also undergone an additional transformation. The destructive power and defense of these limbs are now comparable to divine weapons, and even comparable to Mo Yuan's!"
"Luckily, I broke through to this level, otherwise getting into the top ten would have been a real tough battle! But now, it's in the bag!"
After Su Yu broke through, he did not immediately show off his cultivation level. Now that he is not even on the Thousand Machine Pavilion's manual, he has avoided being targeted!
A week later, his cultivation level was completely stabilized, and the martial arts examination finally began.
"Let's go!" Lin Wanzhu, dressed in military uniform, looked heroic and dashing. Her gaze swept over Su Yu and the other two, her eyes full of hope.
That day will be the day you make your name and achieve fame!
Su Yu remained calm as he opened the panel to check his latest strength.
