Chapter 33

Looking at Elder Zhang's malicious smile, Jiang Huan felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but shiver.

He asked, "How do we stabilize our cultivation?"

Elder Zhang said as he walked to the center of the courtyard.

"I'll accompany you in your practice. I'll focus on training your close combat skills. After all, this Overlord Tactic cultivates the physical body, so you have to display its strengths and weaknesses!" "Only close combat can bring out the advantage of the Overlord Tactics!"

After he finished speaking, Elder Zhang pointed at Jiang Huan with his pipe.

"Come on, don't use your elemental energy, just use your body in close combat!"

Jiang Huan rolled up his sleeves and snickered when he heard this.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you!"

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Huan stomped on the ground! High jump! His body flipped in mid-air! He stomped on Elder Zhang!

Jiang Huan thought that he already had the upper hand, but he didn't expect that old man Zhang would grab Jiang Huan's ankle and ruthlessly kick his in the stomach!

"Bang!" A loud sound was heard.

Before the pitiful Jiang Huan could even land on the ground, he was kicked back by Elder Zhang! After rolling a few times, he got up again! There was no disappointment on his face. Instead, he clenched his fists and rushed forward in excitement!

This time, he didn't continue to put on airs. Instead, he aimed at Elder Zhang and focused on attacking him from the third path and sweeping his leg down from the third path!

Elder Zhang did not hesitate to use one hand to fend off Jiang Huan's attack. His steps were constantly changing and his speed was so fast that Jiang Huan could not understand it at all. He thought to himself, "Elder Zhang is really nimble in this situation!"

It was at this moment that Elder Zhang grabbed Jiang Huan by the arm and dodged a punch. His right leg leaned forward to block Jiang Huan's leg, while his left hand's pipe wedged itself onto Jiang Huan's head!

"Ouch!" Jiang Huan cried out in pain and retreated in quick succession. Elder Zhang followed closely behind and leapt into the air! His right leg lashed out at Jiang Huan's shoulder, and in a flash, Jiang Huan was sent flying! He fell back to the original spot!

Elder Zhang said as he looked at Jiang Huan, who was climbing up from afar. "Remember!" Never underestimate your opponent! Furthermore, do not give up on an opening that you think is a flaw! Find it! Destroy it! "Again!"

Hearing his voice, Jiang Huan didn't stop and rushed forward! His aura grew even more imposing!

Elder Zhang smiled and said, "This is power!"

"Bam!" Bang! "Bang!"

Countless times he had charged! Countless times he was sent flying back to his original place! Again and again! Jiang Huan displayed the same tenacious willpower that he had been ridiculed and tested on stage every single time!

Late at night, Jiang Huan was lying on the ground with bruises all over his body and a face full of fists. Elder Zhang was smoking as he looked at Jiang Huan.

"Let's call it a day from now on. You can keep the pill furnace and use it to concoct pills in the future. Tomorrow, we'll go to Heavenly Thunder Tower and try out how many levels you can climb!"

Jiang Huan looked at the starry night sky and said, "I still have to go to the martial arts school tomorrow to duel with Niu Zhenyuan."

Elder Zhang carelessly replied, "Don't embarrass me!"

With that, he walked back to the thatched cottage.

Jiang Huan sat up, clenched his fists and said with a smile as he felt the energies being released from the vortex.

"That's a must!"

He remembered that his father had once said that the human muscles had the best memory, so he sat down cross-legged, circulated the Overlord Tactics, and slowly absorbed the energy before starting to cultivate!

When Elder Zhang saw this, he lit up his cigarette and shook his head with a smile.

"This kid!" "As soon as he started improving, he started to practice day and night, but he was much more hardworking than that little bastard Ji Heng!"

Noon the next day.

The center of the enormous martial arts arena was completely surrounded by a crowd of people, bustling with activity.

On the stage, there were still the outer hall elders who had participated in the second round of the judges' competition. There was also Niu Zhenyuan, who was standing in the middle with his hands crossed and his eyes closed.

Not far away from the stage, Ji Hua, Zheng Min and Dong Fang and Li Yuehan, who had been 'educated' by Jiang Huan, were present. Even Ji Linglong, who had just entered the hall yesterday, was among the crowd!

Yesterday, Ji Linglong had found out from Dong Fang that Jiang Huan was challenging a martial arts master at the warrior rank?! At the beginning, it was rather shocking! However, she was still a bit nervous in her heart. In order to show her support, she resolutely took out five hundred liang of silver from the eyes of everyone who was looking at her like a lunatic and bought Jiang Huan for the bet set up by the students. Dong Fang scolded Ji Linglong for being a loser, but in the end, she was beaten up by Ji Linglong! She had also been forced to use up all her belongings, so she had to buy Jiang Huan as well!

Although Zheng Min and Li Yuehan's family background was not as good as Dong Fang's, they still spent thirty silver taels to buy Jiang Huan as well!

Today, the students surrounding the arena saw Ji Linglong appear on the martial arena. Whether it was the honorary disciples of the outer palace or the disciples from the inner palace and four gardens, all of them were both shocked and envious when they saw her.

On the other hand, there was a person who was looking at Ji Linglong with an unfriendly gaze. It could even be said that she was holding a grudge. This person was Liu Fenghan.

Liu Fenghan had already recovered from her injuries. She knew that Jiang Huan dared to challenge one of the top ten core disciples, Niu Zhenyuan?!

She was so happy that she couldn't wait to rush to the training field and see how Jiang Huan got beaten up like this. Last night, she even sent someone to deliver a thousand taels of silver and a piece of primeval stone to Niu Zhenyuan, hoping that Niu Zhenyuan would be able to cripple Jiang Huan in the competition!
