Chen Sheng’s pupils twitched slightly as he looked around.

Although his punch earlier had not injured Li Wuji, the surrounding walls of the courtyard had now all but disappeared.

Not far away,

Li Sheng, dressed in a suit, was angrily approaching him at breakneck speed.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, he had already closed in front of Chen Sheng.

His muscles swelled, straining his suit.

Li Sheng raised his fist and struck at Chen Sheng’s skull.

It was clearly just an ordinary punch, but an inexplicable momentum arose from it.

In Chen Sheng’s eyes, Li Sheng’s figure seemed to magnify infinitely, as if a giant supporting heaven and earth were smashing stars down at him.

“Martial Arts Supreme Fist, huh…”

Chen Sheng muttered.

It was the skill name he saw on Li Sheng’s attribute panel while observing him.

Although he didn’t know how powerful it was, its formidable aura was indeed frightening.

It was just a pity, that it did not scare Chen Sheng.

Through the Eye of True View,

although Li Sheng’s attributes skyrocketed momentarily, reaching an astonishing 700 points and above,

it was still…

too weak.

Zzz…

It was just a moment,

The Power of Thunder that had already returned to Chen Sheng’s body emerged once more, quickly wrapping around him.

Whoosh!

Enveloped in thunder, Chen Sheng’s swollen and bulging arm shot out to meet Li Sheng’s fist.

In Chen Sheng’s vision,

his own fist seemed like a toothpick, thrusting towards the giant in front of him.

However, it was this very toothpick, that, at the moment of contact with the giant, BOOM!!!

An immense wave of air surged once more.

The sharp breaking sound tore through the calmness of the early morning.

Li Sheng shot towards the distance at an even faster rate compared to when he arrived, drawing a black line in the air. The wave of air overwhelmed again.

This time, even the neatly arranged bricks beneath them were instantly plowed clean, flying in all directions.

A stooped figure suddenly appeared, blocking Li Wuji, who had just used his power.

Huh?!

Chen Sheng glanced at the newcomer, who turned out to be Sun Yihe.

Just now, in an instant, he also saw the values on Sun Yihe’s panel fluctuating dramatically. Due to the rapidly changing values,

Chen Sheng didn’t get the chance to take a closer look before they settled.

He could only vaguely see, that the opponent’s values should be in the five-digit range.

Chen Sheng was quietly alarmed.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

“Young man, you’re quite hot-headed.”

Sun Yihe wasn’t angry about his courtyard being destroyed,

He just shook his head, sighing, while looking at Li Wuji behind him.

Seeing Li Wuji’s wilted demeanor, he heaved a deep sigh.

“You… you…”

“I’m so fed up with you.”

Sun Yihe grumbled at Li Wuji in a resentful tone.

Subsequently, he turned his head back to face Chen Sheng.

His eyes couldn’t help but flash with admiration.

“I initially thought that with Vermilion Bird’s temperament, his description of your strength would be an exaggeration.”

“But I didnt expect…”

“My young friend, in the entire China, there are probably no more than ten people who can surpass you, right?”

Li Wuji picked up on Sun Yihe’s remark, taking the opportunity to praise Chen Sheng.

“It seems my decision was correct.”

His voice was extremely weak, but from his tone, it was evident that Li Wuji was very pleased.

It seemed that his nephew being beaten had not made him resentful towards Chen Sheng.

“What exactly did you do just now?”

Chen Sheng was all too aware of his extraordinary abilities,

He didn’t care about the compliments from the two men, and continued to pursue the question.

He couldn’t understand why he suddenly had an extra skill.

Although, so far, Chen Sheng had not experienced any discomfort,

he instinctively felt some resistance towards this unexplained thing that had been inserted into his body.

‘What I gave you-

“Alright, alright, seeing the state you’re in.”

“I’ll explain.”

Li Wuji was about to explain but was interrupted by Sun Yihe’s wave.

Sun Yihe’s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke slowly. “What he gave you is called the Heart Mark.” “It can be considered a Seed of Secret Skills.”

A seed?

Chen Sheng’s eyebrows knitted together, and a flash of doubt crossed his face.

It was another term he didn’t understand.

“You should already know about secret skills since you came to my Yihe Gate for the first time, right?”

Chen Sheng nodded.

He first came to the Yihe Gate and had already asked Zhang Yu about it.

Sun Yihe began to explain.

“Secret skills, in the words of you young people, are actually a kind of idealistic power.”

“I believe, I firmly believe, and so I can do it.”

“When a person’s faith is strong enough, they can influence themselves to do many impossible things.”

“Secret skills are just making these things that can only happen by chance, become the norm and not elusive.” “But in the end, it all goes back to the first step.” “Strong faith is the power of the soul.”

Having said that.

Sun Yihe opened his eyes and looked at Chen Sheng.

“NOW, close your eyes:

Chen Sheng didn’t understand.

But he closed his eyes anyway.

His vision plunged into darkness.

Sun Yihe’s voice rang out. “Now, relax your mind.”

“Focus on your breathing.” “Imagine your consciousness is sinking.”

Following Sun Yihe’s instructions.

Chen Sheng gradually felt that his body seemed a bit light and airy.

The so-called consciousness didn’t seem to be empty anymore.

When he tried to sink his consciousness,

He seemed to enter a deeper level of his body.

Although his vision was still dark,

Chen Sheng felt as if he could “see” the inside of his body very clearly.

A strong and powerful heart.

Dense and hard muscle fibers.

Surging blood like a rush of seawater.

And a complex network of nerves.

All of these parts of the body were presented in front of Chen Sheng.

It was these things combined that formed his current powerful body.

This feeling was incredibly amazing.

Chen Sheng couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart.

However,

It was just at the moment he was surprised.

Whoosh!

It was as if he was dreaming of stepping on empty stairs or falling off a cliff. A strong sense of weightlessness swept Chen Sheng’s entire body in an instant.

“Heh—

Consciousness quickly returned to the body.

Chen Sheng’s breathing became ragged for the first time in a while.

“Just now, what was that?”

He looked up at Sun Yihe.

The latter had a triumphant look on his face, as if he knew he would be startled.

“Inner view.”

“This is a symbol of your initial contact with soul consciousness.”

“Under normal circumstances, a secret skill practitioner needs to try for a long time.”

“Either in a life or death crisis, great joy or sadness, or entering into the void.”

“Only under certain opportunities, they are able to contact the soul consciousness and master the way to initiate it.”

“Secret skills require both mental and physical training.”

“But if you can’t master the mental aspect, you will never be able to step into the door of secret skills.”

“Some people are born with the Eye of True View, some spend their whole lives without success.”

“Yet the Heart Mark is like giving you a direct key to that door.”

Having said that,

Sun Yihe turned to look at Li Wuji.

“I didn’t say it wrong, did I?”

“That’s right.”

Li Wuji smiled and nodded.

“However, you missed one thing.”

He slowly raised his head, his eyes meeting Chen Sheng’s.

“Chen, my friend.”

“The Heart Mark comes from the remaining power of my Authority.”

“With his abilities, the Respected Elder has the power of the Heart; he can completely recreate the scene of a clone’s death and even lock your existence through soul aura.”

“But now you have the Heart Mark that can help you, so you won’t be discovered by the Respected Elder.”

Li Wuji showed a smile.

“By joining the Holy Sect, the Heart Mark ensures you won’t be seen through.” “And if you choose to continue your stealth cultivation, it will also ensure your safety. ”

“I see you possess the power of Authority, but your talents are unmatched in my life.”

“Perhaps, in the future, you will choose the path of secret skills.”

“By then, this Heart Mark will provide help for you.”

Hearing Li Wuji’s words,

Chen Sheng called up his panel and focused on the words “Heart Mark.” According to the information provided by the panel,

He further verified that Sun Yihe and Li Wuji were telling the truth.

At this moment,

Li Wuji continued to speak.

“Chen, my friend, don’t worry.”

“Whether you are willing to help me or not, I won’t take back the Heart Mark.”

“As a martial artist like you, you will become the hope of mankind in the future when facing Heavenly People. ”

“Regardless of whether we have the opportunity to cooperate this time.”

“I hope that you will continue to grow.” With that,

Li Wuji shakily raised his hand.

He had a smile on his face.

“At least, I hope to be your friend.” “I also look forward to the day when we can fight side by side.”

Chen Sheng remained silent.

At this moment.

He suddenly understood,

How Li Wuji was able to establish the Chinese Martial Arts Association with his own power and make a group of strong martial artists willingly follow him..
