"Strength is the first and Morality and kindness is second. It is common for warriors to fight each other, killing and injuring them. You have to get used to it as soon as possible." Old man Hu exhorted the returning Xun Xie.

Old Man Hu warned, "Similarly, if you lose to others, or even get beaten to death, it means that you are not good at learning and practice and are not as good as others.

Because of this, we warriors must either be cautious in our words and deeds, be more patient in everything, and refrain from dealing with others easily, or be prepared at all times, and have the awareness of putting life and death outside the scope. "

"Yes, disciples keep the teachings in mind."

Xun Xie thought about it and said, the experience with Huang Yi had opened his eyes.

Old man Hu nodded and waved his hand: "Okay, that's it for today, and we'll continue tomorrow."

……

The next day.

Xun Xie walked into the main room and just finished his warm-up, his body was covered in beads of sweat.

Old Man Hu was drinking his morning tea, looked up at Xun Xie, and then waved, the maid hurried over to follow the order.

"Go, call 'Rong Ran' in."

In a short time, a dark-skinned young man with cold eyebrows stepped in. He was 1.8 meters tall, and his arms were particularly thick, thicker than the thighs of ordinary people, too strong. The bulging veins on his arms seemed ready to exert themselves at any moment.

Despite this his skin was quite pale like a woman’s, similar to Si Luoyan. In fact all of them were like this, even old man Hu had rosy white skin like snow. Xun Xie looked at his fairer complexion himself and didn’t know what to think.

Practicing in the sun for so long and you didn’t get darker, but the opposite happened.

I don't know if it's because of the practice of ruling spirit.

It seems that the apprentices who have broken through the blood have snow-white skin and explosive muscles like a leopard.

Si Luoyan seemed to embody this martial art the best, Xun Xie couldn’t help but wonder if a woman founded the school.

Xun Xie looked at himself. He was already over 1.7 meters tall, and his body also had bulging muscles without a trace of fat.

However, his body does not seem to be obviously strong and powerful but tends to be compact and well-proportioned. Streamlined like a leopard and tiger nearly catching up to his dream physique, while different from SI Luoyan he had an extra wildness and toughness to his muscles.

As soon as Rong Ran entered the door, his eyes swept down, and his eyes suddenly fell on Xun Xie, staring deeply, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Seeing him like this, Xun Xie felt inexplicable.

Old Man Hu slowly put down the teacup, and said leisurely, "Rong Ran, close the door, you had a fight with Xun Xie."

"Yes."

Rong Ran took a deep breath, turned to close the door, turned around again, stared at Xun Xie, and said stiffly, "Junior Brother Xun Xie, Junior Brother Huang Yi's arm, you disabled it, right?"

Xun Xie raised his eyebrows.

But before he could speak, Rong Ran continued, "Yesterday I heard that Junior Brother Huang's arm was broken, so I went to check it out and asked him what was going on. But he still refused to tell me. Now I finally understand. It turns out that Junior Brother Huang was defeated by Junior Brother, he is ashamed and embarrassed to say it."

Xun Xie said: "I was able to win Senior Brother Huang, it was just a fluke, no, it was actually an accident, he was not prepared."

Rong Ran heard the words, his face was still solemn, even showing a little nervousness, he clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Anyway, please be merciful to junior brother."

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

Xun Xie was speechless, no matter how you look at it, you are stronger than me!

Seeing Rong Ran's nervousness, Xun Xie himself became a little nervous. He took a breath and said, "How could it be, I should ask senior brother to be merciful."

"Please!" Rong Ran stopped talking nonsense, took two steps back cautiously, and then took up his posture.

Xun Xie raised his fists, pointed his toes forward, and focused his attention on Rong Ran.

Who would have thought that Rong Ran stood there and didn't move for a moment, so he didn't attack.

See this situation.

Xun Xie was a little speechless, thinking, this Rong Ran is really a steady senior brother, such a person can never be weak, waiting to respond accurately.

But then he thought about it, that Huang Yi looked very strong, but he was defeated in one move. What about this Rong Ran?

Thinking of this, Xun Xie immediately came to his senses, Old Man Hu's words were insightful.

It's like at this moment, he doesn't know how strong Rong Ran is, and Rong Ran doesn't know how strong he is.

You will only know if you have played it.

So, before the fight begins, they don't know the details of each other, and they have no choice but to go all out. How can they have the time to think about whether to show mercy or not, to save a little bit of strength in their shots and to win first, even if the attack is too violent and the opponent is killed.

As such...

Xun Xie stared at Rong Ran intently, he leaked blood from his feet, and his body rushed forward, quickly closing the distance.

Rong Ran's pupils shrank, his fists separated in front of him.

Xun Xie bullied him, and punched out, white light flickering on his fist.

Even if not to use the more vicious explosive claws, tiger roaring boxing had its own strong points so Xun Xie preferred to use it in sparring or warming up for the battle.

"Bah!" Rong Ran shouted, punching out almost at the same time, and there was light spitting from his fist.

Bang, two fists collide!

Between the fists, shattered white light exploded.

The wind brought by the fists blew the ends of the two people's hair backwards.

Xun Xie's right fist bounced back, and his left fist was immediately extended, hitting Rong Ran's chest.

This brother seemed stronger than Huang Yi.

"Explosive Claw!" Rong Ran was taken aback, blood gathered in his chest, forming a defense.

There was a loud bang.

Xun Xie's left fist claw was imprinted on Rong Ran's chest, and he felt a resistance against his fist, but the resistance was not strong, like cotton, it was instantly pierced by the fist.

Next, Xun Xie felt his fist go into the flesh.

Rong Ran's chest sank, and his entire body trembled fiercely as if all the air in his chest had been blown out.

He took a step back, knelt down on one knee, clutching his chest, his face flushed red to blue.

Xun Xie stopped, looked at Rong Ran who was kneeling in front of him, and blinked in disbelief.

At this time, Rong Ran's fist was red and swollen, the skin was broken, and blood was oozing out.

…wasn’t he supposed to be stronger?!

Old Man Hu stood up, walked in front of Rong Ran, and said indifferently, "Go down and heal your wounds."

Rong Ran breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xun Xie with strange eyes, got up and said, "Elder Hu, this disciple can still fight."

A little unconvinced although relieved.

Old Man Hu shook his head and said, "Your total blood energy is actually similar to Xun Xie's, but your martial skills are too rough. The use of blood energy is not as good as Xun Xie's, you can't beat him."

Rong Ran lowered his head sadly.

Old Man Hu put his hands behind his back and said, "Success or failure is only temporary, go back and hone your skills, you still have hope to step into the third level of blood strength."

Rong Ran didn't speak and turned around.

Old Man Hu turned his head to look at Xun Xie, and said seriously, "Do you feel it? You can cultivate great explosiveness with Ruling-spirit kung fu and ignore defenses. As long as you can hit someone, they will definitely be injured inside, you must have felt it too and it was the same for them feeling the shaking of the internals, combined with martial skills this attribute is even more extraordinary."

"Explosiveness, defenses..."

Xun Xie couldn't help but look at his fist. It did seem to have that effect and although he held the advantage before there really was some slight shock to the internals but he had overlooked it as the counterforce, now looking at it that was odd.

"No need to worry, practice will teach you to direct your power accurately past defenses and even target specific organs like the heart. Our heart exploding finger and punch are like this, simplistic martial skills that take full advantage of our attribute. Even without teaching these things are learned. Now take a rest, you will have another fight in the afternoon." Old Man Hu lay down on the bamboo chair and basked in the sun.

……

By the afternoon.

Old Man Hu summoned one person into the main room.

Xun Xie took a look and saw that the other party was a woman, her surname was Ping and her first name was Xiu. Her face was as flat as her chest. Xun Xie wondered if frequent sparring bouts with senior brothers beat it flat.

"Mr. Hu, what are you looking for from me?" Ping Xiu asked with her hands on her hips with a carefree temper.

Old Man Hu: "His name is Xun Xie, you play against him."

Ping Xiu looked at Xun Xie, and her expression changed, "Are you already at the second blood?"

Xun Xie said: "I just broke through not long ago, please give me some guidance."

"Don't worry, I'll give you good pointers." Ping Xiu clenched her fists, making a crackling sound, her face showing a fierce look.

Xun Xie's heart is awe-inspiring, the women in this school seemed to be stronger than the men although this was just fluff right now before the fight.

The next instant, Ping Xiu had already rushed over, her footwork was very good, and her footsteps hardly made any sound.

Xun Xie quickly retreated and moved his fists up.

Ping Xiu stomped on the ground, suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards her, slamming her hands into claws.

"So fast!" Xun Xie's spirit was lifted, he predicted that Ping Xiu would hit him on the left cheek, and immediately raised his left arm for protection.

The blood flowed vigorously and gathered to the outside of the left arm.
