With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal Chapter 52: Ape Demon

The burly man’s age was not much older than the two of them, just that he appeared a bit more mature, with a nagging old deanor he instructed:

"All of this, all of it was earned through my hard work. You two need to practice more, you hear?"

An old man with white eyebrows gently stroked his beard beside them, nodding repeatedly.

Seeing the Hu family brothers defeated, the old man lightly tapped the floor with his foot and landed beside the burly man on the ring.

Seeing the old man, he changed his previous arrogant expression and respectfully said with lowered head and obedient eyes:

"Master, you are here."

The white-browed old man appeared already aged, yet the aura of a Martial Arts family could not be faked.

He was none other than the master of the Ape God Martial Arts Dojo, Heaven-Supporting Arm·Yuan Huan.

"Wang Xudong, co with to the office. The competition ground has been decided, at the Civic Competition Center Stadium, and the group list has been released."

The burly man said with surprise:

"Really, Master? I’ve been awaiting this eagerly!"

Wang Xudong is one of the direct disciples of the master Yuan Huan, and the second senior brother of the Ape God Martial Arts Dojo, currently on the edge of qualifying for the underage review group.

Inside the master’s office.

Yuan Huan sat cross-legged on the sofa and spoke lightly:

"Wanting to take first place, this ti is rather dangerous, don’t think that mastering Dark Strength makes you invincible, this ti the opponents’ strength cannot be underestimated."

Wang Xudong looked at the list in front of him and the information about the opponents’ strength, his face showing a grave expression.

"Li Xiaoyue, Chen Xuewu, Li Bing..."

In the intelligence, these three, like him, also mastered Dark Strength.

He had known about Chen Xuewu’s intel for a long ti, the opponent, like him, was a sophomore at Wuyi High School.

But the difference is, the other was recognized as the top in boxing and kicking in his grade.

Although Qi Blood wasn’t far from his, his brief Bajiquan skill was formidable and fierce.

He had lost many tis, and he didn’t expect Chen Xuewu to also participate in this martial arts ranking competition.

Originally thinking that he had just mastered Dark Strength, he was full of confidence for this martial arts ranking competition, but he didn’t expect the opponents to be equally strong.

He voiced his concerns to Yuan Huan.

Yuan Huan did not comfort him, altering his usual calm deanor, angrily shouting:

"Already timid? I usually train you carefully, and this is how you repay ?"

"You must win first place, bring glory to our Ape God Martial Arts Dojo, understand?"

As Yuan Huan spoke, his eyes unintentionally glanced downward, while rummaging for sothing in the pocket of his robe.

He had no children; the only ones close to him were his two direct disciples.

The eldest disciple was studying at Martial Arts University and had not returned, leaving only the second disciple, Wang Xudong, by his side.

It was the first ti Wang Xudong saw his master so angry, instinctively raising his head with an incredulous expression.

Then he lowered his head and said:

"I will definitely try my best, Master, but I don’t have absolute confidence in winning."

The other two aside, just Chen Xuewu alone would give him quite a challenge.

Hearing his disciple say he would try his best, the grim expression Yuan Huan had feigned llowed considerably.

"I’m not making things difficult, a few days ago I secured a Martial Arts Pill, Pure Jade Gourd, from the Martial Arts Association’s website."

"I’ve already extracted and absorbed most of its dicinal properties, leaving a small portion of the True Pill essence, you take it and absorb it quickly."

With that, Yuan Huan flipped his palm and took out a tiny blue gourd, its exterior lustrously green, markedly pleasing.

Wang Xudong looked incredulous, the Pure Jade Gourd is hard to asure with money, sotis appearing on sale on the official website, priced astoundingly in nine figures!

"Don’t overthink. Master is about to break through and needs a Great Pill as a catalyst, so the remaining dicinal power is naturally for my precious disciple."

Upon hearing that the master was about to breakthrough, Wang Xudong said excitedly:

"Master, are you advancing to Martial Arts Master?"

Thinking of becoming a disciple of a Martial Arts Master filled Wang Xudong’s heart with joy, completely overlooking so small details.

Yuan Huan stroked his beard, smiling slightly:

"Yes, once these few days of Great Pill absorption are over, don’t publicize this, quietly wait for to succeed."

He surely wouldn’t publicize, in case the senior brother found out and ca to demand it, what then?

"Take it and consu quickly, you just broke through the four paths, your Qi Blood is only around 9."

"Consu and absorb well, even the residual Great Pill power might increase your Qi Blood by five or six points, then no one will be your match!"

Wang Xudong nodded excitedly, unsure what to say, his hand shaking as he received the small gourd.

Yuan Huan watched this scene, hesitated for a mont, then heartlessly said:

"Forget it, take it now, the Great Pill is fierce, with Master’s supervision it’s safer."

Wang Xudong didn’t suspect and tilted his head, swallowing the so-called "residual Great Pill" and then stood in place, performing Tongbei Fist to absorb the dicinal power.

After a while, Wang Xudong felt a small stream of warmth in his body, crashing through his body.

"Hiss, the dicinal power is strong!"

"Sit cross-legged, hold your breath and calm your mind, let Master guide your energy!"

Wang Xudong obediently followed, Yuan Huan placing his left palm on his back, while his right hand pulled out another black mini gourd from his pocket, it was the Seed of Fear!

Wang Xudong felt gradually calm inside, with a faint sense of comfort, he wanted to sleep.

Yuan Huan lightly pinched the disciple’s neck.

In an instant, Wang Xudong fell asleep.

"Silly boy, where would I get the money to buy a Pure Jade Gourd."

Mother and child linked, the seed within Wang Xudong was gradually suppressed, and after a mont returned to peace.

"Alright, next, let’s see your and its performance."

"Now, have a good sleep."

Yuan Huan gently laid his good disciple flat, then turned off the lights and left.

In the hallway of the martial arts school, under the backdrop of the dim yellow light, Yuan Huan’s shadow appeared sowhat strange.

Increasingly eerie, twisting and changing unceasingly.

Sotis it was a normal human silhouette, sotis it warped into the fiercely grinning visage of a demon-headed evil ape, with a bizarrely shaped gigantic ape mouth, dripping black slobber.

Noticing this upon looking back, he couldn’t help but frown.

"Hardly restrainable now."

Subsequently, Yuan Huan imdiately transported True Qi into his body, after several repetitions, then suppressing the strange martial arts presence.

The shadow of the ape demon roared up at the sky, emitting a silent howling of reluctance, its form gradually shrinking until disappearing entirely.

Yuan Huan let out a sigh of relief.

The reason he collaborated with the Demon Path was exactly due to issues with his martial arts presence.

Martial arts presence is the embodint of a martial artist’s willpower.

The demon-headed evil ape was a peek into the beast within, evidencing the inferiority of his martial arts will.

"I don’t believe in fate; man will conquer heaven."

"Since that’s the case, I’ll walk this path to the end, consu after the experint is complete."

Martial Arts Master, Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Even... Venerable!

The infinitely extending lifespan tantalized him; having already fed the Seed of Fear to his direct disciple’s seed, there was no turning back for him now.
