Chapter 43 Trouble Arrives

  On the third day, Mu Chengzhi and his wife were invited by Mu Chuan to discuss matters. Mu Feng was practicing the Su Jin Zhang that Mu Chengzhi had taught him in the courtyard.

  He learned from Mu Chengzhi that the top ten family members in this family's coming-of-age ceremony would be able to practice the Huang Jie upper-grade martial arts of the clan, and the first place could even choose a Xuan Jie lower-grade martial art. This temptation was indeed great for him!

  The reason why the Mu family can become one of the four major forces in Tianfeng County is that they have a deep foundation and can cultivate batch after batch of talents.

  To cultivate talent, one must have sufficient wealth and sufficient martial arts. Martial arts are sometimes priceless and cannot be bought with money, especially the higher-level martial arts that are truly invaluable.

  The Mu clan possesses a set of Xuanjie middle-grade martial arts, three sets of Xuanjie lower-grade martial arts, ten sets of Huangjie upper-grade martial arts, and over a hundred sets of Huangjie middle-grade and lower-grade martial arts. This number is already quite impressive even in the Great Martial Empire.

  At that time, Mu Chengzhi was desperate in the tribal comparison of the coming-of-age ceremony, just to get a reward for a low-grade martial art.

  In the Mu clan, the Huang stage upper and Xuan stage lower martial arts are rewards to motivate clansmen to cultivate martial arts, while only the most outstanding disciples can get the opportunity to cultivate the Xuan stage middle martial arts.

  Mo Feng once begged Mo Chengzhi to teach him his top-grade yellow-tier martial arts, but was rejected.

  In the clan, the top-grade martial arts of Huang Jie require the approval of the elder of the inner court, while the lower and middle grades of Xuan Jie martial arts must be unanimously agreed upon by the clan leader and the elder of the inner court before they can be practiced. Although Mu Chengzhi was expelled from the clan, this rule still dare not be broken.

  As the Golden Palm was skillfully wielded by Mufeng, a surge of mysterious energy burst forth from the vortex of energy in his dantian, causing whirlwinds to erupt in mid-air. In an instant, the courtyard was filled with flying sand and pebbles, and dry leaves danced wildly, creating a majestic spectacle.

  At this moment, a black shadow shot from the air like a meteor and flashed towards Mufeng's back.

  "Shuǐ jīn zhǎng, zhǎng suì jiān jīn!"

  Translation: "A handful of gold can crush a strong man!"

  Mo Feng suddenly condensed his Xuan Li, and with one palm, he slapped the black shadow to the ground. After taking a closer look, it turned out to be just a hollow bamboo ball, but this hollow bamboo ball was now smashed into four or five pieces by that one palm.

  This scene was just seen by a group of boys who had burst into the courtyard, and they were instantly enraged.

  "Brother Lei, that kid ruined our ball."

  "Who is that little guy? Looks unfamiliar?"

  "Whoever it is, messing up our ball, beat him."

  The young man in the lead had a rather tall and large build, half a head taller than the boys around him, and the exposed muscles also showed his strong physical strength.

  That young man looked at Mu Feng and said: "Little boy, what's your name? Why have I never seen you before?"

  Mufeng felt a surge of anger at the young man's words, but since they outnumbered him, he had to swallow his pride and said, "I'm Mufeng from Hongfeng Town. I've come for our clan's coming-of-age ceremony. Sorry about that, I'll compensate you with a bamboo ball."

  That group of young people, upon hearing Mu Feng's name, were like a pot of boiling oil that had been suddenly opened.

  "Mo Feng, I've heard of you, aren't you the son of that trash who was expelled from our clan?"

  "I heard they were once driven to desperation by a young martial artist from the Seven Stars Martial Arts Hall and came to our clan for help, but in the end it was Uncle Li who helped resolve the situation!"

  "With this appearance, he still wants to participate in the adult ceremony? He's just barely entered the Huaqi realm!"

  Listening to the mocking voices of these young people, Mu Feng's anger ignited from his heart, his fists clenched tightly, and his small face turned bright red. However, a good man does not take advantage of the situation in front of him, so he still suppressed the anger in his heart.

  However, those boys seemed to have seen Mu Feng's anger and did not intend to stop, but instead ridiculed him one after another.

  "Look at him still wanting to use force, he really doesn't know his own strength."

  "Wanna fight? Any one of us here can beat him up so badly he'll be pissing blood."

  The young man who was first looked at Mu Feng with a playful gaze, his eyes filled with disdain and contempt: "Mu Xiang, you go teach him a lesson, let him learn from it. When you take action, control your strength, don't hurt him too much."

  A youth stepped out from the group of young men, a sly smile spreading across his face as he said, "Don't worry, Brother Li. Watch how I'll deal with this little brat."

  Compared to Mu Feng's slender figure, Mu Xiang was like a small mountain. Mu Xiang's cultivation had also reached the initial stage of the Great Perfection of the Hua Qi Realm, which was one small level higher than Mu Feng's.

  Mo Xiang took a step forward, and the mysterious power on his body was fully released. He wanted to thoroughly suppress Mo Feng's momentum and quickly knock him down in front of Mo Lie to show off his skills, so he used his signature move from the start.

  "Great Flood Fist, Overflowing Surge Strikes the Top."

  Dahongquan, a middle-grade martial art of Huang's style, with open and closed fist methods, winning by using force.

  One punch was thrown out, and the majestic Xuanli seemed like a huge torrent, directly sweeping towards Mufeng.

  If a Form Boundary warrior were to throw this punch, Mufeng would be able to see a true surge of Mystical Power, while a Qi Transformation Boundary warrior could only manage a hint of it. However, despite being just a hint, the power of this punch was still not to be underestimated.

  Mo Feng was fearless and took a step forward, the mysterious power emanating from his body fluctuated, not in the least bit weaker than Mo Xiang's, and even surpassed it.

  "Shattered Golden Palm, shattered into four or five pieces!"

  Mufeng's right palm heavily slapped onto Muxiang's fist, the collision of their powers sent out a series of deafening booms. A wave of power ripples spread from the center of the impact to all directions.

  The shockwave caused some of the smaller trees in the courtyard to snap in half, and the young men who had not yet reached the initial stage of Qi condensation all turned pale, clearly shaken by the disturbance which caused their blood and energy to churn.

  Under the gaze of Mu Lie and others, both figures retreated several steps back. Mu Feng and Mu Xiang were evenly matched in their previous exchange, but somehow Mu Feng seemed to have a slight upper hand.

  Mo Xiang couldn't believe that the combat power burst forth by this little kid who had just entered the Hua Qi boundary was so incredibly strong, and even his full-powered strike hadn't injured him in the slightest.

  He also felt the Xuanli in his opponent's body, that overbearing and fierce aura, he found it hard to imagine how this frail little guy could possess such astonishing Xuanli.

  Mo Xiang violently shouted and before he could even steady his body, he immediately gathered his mysterious energy again and threw a punch towards Mo Feng.

  For these young men in the realm of Qi, they themselves have no combat experience and their martial arts training is relatively limited, so most of the fighting between them is a contest of Xuanli. However, it's clear that Murong Xiang is slightly inferior to Murong Feng.

  The two clashed again, and Mu Xiang's defeat seemed to be taking shape this time. In this exchange, Mu Feng only retreated three steps, while he retreated six steps.

  Mo Lie looked at Mo Feng with a cold gaze, his face gloomy, clearly dissatisfied with Mo Xiang's performance.

  Mu Xiang's face was filled with an incredulous expression, as in the two fierce clashes, his opponent had unexpectedly gained the upper hand, which was a huge blow to him.

  After connecting two fists, Mufeng swung his right palm, and a thick Xuanli burst out of his body, like a meteor rushing towards Murong. Murong's confidence had been severely damaged in the previous exchange, and seeing Mufeng counterattack, he could only passively swing his fist to defend himself.

  But with a dull thud, an even heavier fist crashed down on Miao Xing's arms, and his massive body, like a small mountain, was instantly sent flying.

  Three moves and you're defeated!

  These days I'm on a business trip, so the update time is uncertain. After finishing the business trip, I will definitely make up for it according to the standard of two updates per day.
