Cultivating Inner Strength!

"Iron Claw Technique!"

The green-robed man's eyelids jumped. The Qi in his Dantian circulated and all five of his fingers had a faint metallic glow. He used a claw technique to grab Su Jie's wrists to block this heavy blow.

However, the moment he grabbed Su Jie's wrist with both hands, the green-robed man fully understood what it would be like for a mantis to be trying to stop a chariot. It was impossible to stop Su Jie's falling fists!

A terrifying force crashed down and Su Jie's fists landed on the man's shoulders.

CRACK!

With the crisp sound of shattering bones, the man in green groaned and fell to his knees. The floor cracked under the pressure from his knees and he hardly stands again.

"Mr. Nan Dong!"

The Li family martial artists exclaimed.

Nan Dong was someone who could be ranked in the top three of the Ironclad Martial Arts School. Yet in the end, he was completely defeated in a short period of time by this unknown martial artist wearing an ape mask?

A cold chill emerged from Su Jie's face under the mask.

Bang!

Behind Su Jie, the veins on the forehead of the burly man from the Li family's shop bulged. His fist, which had brass knuckles on it, smashed heavily onto Su Jie's back. If an ordinary person took such a heavy punch, their spine would shatter.

However, what made the burly man's eyelids jump was how he felt that his punch did not land on a human body but on a huge beast with rough skin. Su Jie's body did not even flinch.

It was like an ordinary person punching and kicking a ferocious beast. It did not hurt at all!

With Su Jie's Ape Demon King Kong Fist at 50% of the third level, his body was so strong that he was even confident that he could kill lions and tigers with his bare hands. It was difficult for ordinary people's punches and kicks to cause him any harm.

Su Jie slowly turned around. The dangerous glare in his eyes made the burly man tremble.

"Mis… misunderstanding…"

Su Jie's eyes were focused on that burly man as if the latter was being targeted by a ferocious beast. He forced a smile.

Bang!

In the next second, Su Jie's right palm struck the burly man's face. The burly man felt a huge force coming at him and his huge body was sent flying three to four meters away. The bridge of his nose shattered and he fell to the ground with blood all over his face. He fainted.

"Master Li!" The other Li family thugs exclaimed.

"Our Flying Cloud Society… has such an expert? To be able to defeat Nan Dong so easily, he must be a first-rate martial artist! A first-rate martial artist!"

The people from the Flying Cloud Society were undoubtedly pleasantly surprised. Su Jie, the unknown martial artist, was, without a doubt, a first-rate martial artist!

A first-rate martial artist could easily make a name for himself in the martial arts world!

As the burly man and the man in green were defeated by Su Jie, the remaining thugs in the Li family's shop lost all morale.

"I surrender! I surrender! Don't hit me!"

Soon, the thugs from the Li family shop put down their weapons, kneeled down and cried out for mercy with their hands on their heads.

When Yan Bin saw this scene, he heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that this operation has gone smoothly. He shouted, "Smash! Smash all of their stuff!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The rest of the Flying Cloud Society martial artists started smashing everything in the shop. The sound of porcelain cups, tables, chairs, and containers shattering was never ending. The thugs in the Li family shop were lying on the ground, wailing. Some still had the strength to fight but they did not dare to stop them. They could only watch.

They were just hired thugs and were not willing to risk their lives!

Not long after, the entire Li family shop was in a mess.

In the end, Yan Bin looked at the Li family thugs and warned coldly, "If your Li family dares to cross the line again, our Flying Cloud Society will visit the Li family's businesses often!"

It was obvious that this shop could not continue operating. The Flying Cloud Society and the others had achieved their goal.

"Leave!"

Then, everyone turned around and left.

"Sir, do you dare to leave your name?" Before leaving, Nan Dong, who was kneeling on the ground with his shoulders and knees injured, shouted at Su Jie.

He wanted to know who had easily defeated him.

Su Jie stopped in his tracks. Naturally, he wouldn't give his name. He just spat out: "Ape demon!"

Ape Demon. He was wearing an ape mask tonight, so Su Jie casually called himself that.

"Ape Demon…" The green-robed man and the Li family thugs were puzzled but wary. They had never heard of such an expert in Heiye City.

After completing the mission, the members of the Flying Cloud Society dispersed and returned to their homes.

The next morning, in the Yan family mansion, Yan Bin excitedly thanked Su Jie: "Brother Tang, thank you for helping last night. Otherwise, with that Nan Dong around, I'm afraid it would have been very difficult for us to defeat them."

"You are welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Su Jie shook his head.

Since he received a monthly salary from the Flying Cloud Society, if something happened to them, he would definitely help as much as he could.

Because of the Flying Cloud Society, Su Jie was delayed for a day or two. He set off to return to Qingshui Town.

This time, Su Jie had other thoughts in his mind when returning. "It's time for me to cultivate inner strength. There's a limit to just cultivating the Ape Demon King Kong Fist. Only by cultivating inner strength… can I reach a higher realm!"

When the Ape Demon King Kong Fist reached the perfected third level, first-rate martial artists were the upper limit of what its cultivators can reach.

Su Jie was not far from reaching the perfected third level. He felt that if he wanted to reach a higher realm, he had to cultivate inner strength!

Third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, being a first-rate martial artist was far from the limit of martial arts!

Su Jie had heard from Su Wu that the realm above first-rate martial artists was the Blood and Qi Realm!

The so-called Blood and Qi realm could only be reached by tempering one's Qi and blood and causing one's Qi and blood to transform. Everyone who reached this realm was a fierce warrior who could fight 100 people alone! In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, anyone who reached that realm could be considered an expert!

One of the requirements to reach the Blood Qi Realm was to refine one's blood with Qi. Therefore, one also had to meet the requirements for internal cultivation.

Cultivating both inside and out was the way to go.

"Father's back?"

When Su Jie returned to the Su residence, he saw a black horse in the stable. It was Su Wu's mount. He was slightly happy that Su Wu had returned. The last time Su Wu returned was three to four months ago!

Sure enough, Su Wu, who was wearing plain clothes, seemed to have just finished practicing martial arts.

Seeing Su Jie, Su Wu smiled. "Jie'er, are you going out for something? It's good to go out sometimes."

"Yes." Su Jie nodded. He never told Su Wu that he was an ally of the Flying Cloud Society.

That day, the father and son reunited. At the dining table, Su Jie said to Su Wu, "Father, I want to cultivate inner strength."

Internal strength cultivation techniques were very precious. Some martial arts sects or families cherished their internal cultivation techniques and would not easily teach them to outsiders.

Since Su Jie wanted to learn internal cultivation, the first person he naturally sought help from was Su Wu.

When Su Wu heard this, he was a little surprised. It was not necessarily better to learn more martial arts. It was more about quality than quantity. Otherwise, one would accomplish nothing!
