Chapter 11 Superior Roots
Fang Chen saw that the eyes of several people in the hall were focused on him, so he was not nervous and saluted the old man like Li Quan did.

"Disciple Fang Chen greets the Master!"

According to the rules, only formal disciples can call their masters masters, and apprentices must call their masters masters.

The old man took a sip of tea and nodded gently, "Well, no need to be polite!"

Fang Chen then raised his head and found after walking closer that the old man was obviously not young, but he was full of energy and spirit, with a ruddy complexion and radiant look.

"Well, Zhen'er said that your physique may have been tested incorrectly. I have nothing to do, so come forward!"

The old man went straight to the point.

Fang Chen walked forward slowly as he was told, glancing at the people in the hall out of the corner of his eye.

Needless to say, the eldest brother Li Zhen and the owner of the hall Li Guiyuan. Among the other three, the young woman in a silk skirt, with a pretty face and quiet manners, Fang Chen estimated that she should be the owner's junior.

From the loving gaze the owner gave her from time to time, he guessed that she was most likely a direct relative such as a granddaughter or daughter.

The other two people sitting in the hall both appeared to be of extraordinary bearing, judging by their sitting posture and expressions. One of them was dressed similarly to Li Quan, while the other was obviously from a wealthy and noble family, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

Based on what I heard this month, it is said that the owner of the museum, Li Guiyuan, has three direct disciples. It seems that the two people in front of him are the other than the eldest brother Li Zhen.

Having guessed the identities of everyone in the hall, Fang Chen walked up to the old man and bowed deeply, "Excuse me, Master!"

He bowed to Li Zhen again, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Li Guiyuan stroked his beard with satisfaction and had a much better impression of the young man in front of him. The young girl also stared at Fang Chen with a little curiosity.

Without wasting any time, Li Guiyuan stood up and put his hand on Fang Chen. He did not touch him all over like the senior brother did, but just pinched his shoulder twice.

Fang Chen almost groaned in pain. He felt a fiery aura flowing through his body!

"Be patient for a moment, Grandpa's scorching sun energy is really not pleasant!"

The young woman reminded with a gentle smile.

Fang Chen nodded reluctantly, not paying too much attention to the title, which was expected, and instead focused on the scorching sun power.

"Is this the martial arts practitioner?"

Fang Chen secretly sighed, the last time his senior brother touched his bones, he didn't react so much.

Not long after, after a few breaths, Li Guiyuan withdrew his hand and looked at Li Zhen with a slightly strange look. How could you have mistaken such an obviously superior physique?

Li Zhen paused as he looked at his master, and he understood something. He said to Fang Chen with a hint of apology, "It seems that Senior Brother really made a mistake and almost delayed my talent."

As Li Guiyuan withdrew his hand, Fang Chen no longer felt the burning sensation in his body. He shook his head and said, "Root bone tests are not necessarily accurate. It's no wonder, Senior Brother."

At this time, the distinguished man also spoke up, "That's true, Senior Brother, don't blame yourself. Many warriors' talents will only show up after practicing martial arts, and this kind is even more difficult to measure."

“According to what I read in ancient books, some talents will only show up after the blood has coagulated!” the man laughed.

Li Guiyuan shook his head slightly. "That situation is too rare. Most people's inborn faculties will show some signs of improvement during the strength training stage. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as testing inborn faculties."

At the same time, he added in his mind that the talent that is only revealed in the blood coagulation stage is usually quite extraordinary and it is almost impossible to encounter it in such a small place.

The sturdy man who looked like Li Quan asked curiously, "Master, is this junior brother really a person of superior aptitude?"

Li Guiyuan nodded slightly, "That's for sure. It should be a talent that focuses on skin and bones."

"Oh?" Several people in the hall were surprised. This was relatively rare. There were many types of superior physiques, and those with natural supernatural powers were the most common.

A strange look flashed in the eyes of the distinguished man, and he said, "Then it should be a talent that focuses on improving defense?"

Li Guiyuan recalled that Fang Chen's skin and bones were much tougher than those of ordinary people, and nodded again.

The sturdy man's eyes lit up and he clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations! We should have more opportunities to compete in the future!"

Li Zhen laughed and scolded, "Alright, Liu Yong, Junior Brother Fang hasn't recovered yet, how can he spar with you?"

Liu Yong scratched his head and muttered, "I didn't say now!"

Several people in the hall burst into laughter. They really had no way to deal with Liu Yong's combative nature.

Li Shishi noticed Fang Chen's doubtful look and smiled gently, "Brother, if you have any questions, just speak up."

Fang Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister. May I ask what exactly is this superior root bone?"

Li Shishi covered her mouth and smiled softly, "I'm not your senior sister."

Before Fang Chen could ask more questions, the distinguished man Zhao Yunsheng spoke.

"Haha, let me explain it to you, Junior Brother!"

He said sternly: "Those who practice martial arts know the difference between physiques, but who knows that there is a world of difference between superior physiques and those below it!"

Several people nodded, and Li Guiyuan did not object to this. He knew more than the disciples and had a deep understanding of this.

"Below the superior level, there is nothing special except the speed of training, but the superior level is different. Every superior level has a unique physique compared to ordinary martial artists."

"The most common one is the so-called innate supernatural power. In addition to this, there are also golden jade body, lightning-fast body, etc."

Clearing his throat, he continued, "And these special performances will give the warriors a stronger foundation, not just the rumored invincibility of the same level."

He said solemnly: "This means the potential to reach a higher level of martial arts!"

"The stronger the foundation, the easier it is to break through. For a person with superior aptitude, breaking through the barrier and practicing strength is not as easy as eating or drinking, but it will be over with a little practice."

"But for those with medium to high physique, training their strength requires them to risk everything and go all out, not to mention blood coagulation, which is even more of a chasm!"

“It’s hard to break through!”

As soon as these four words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became solemn, and it was obvious that they all felt the same way.

Fang Chen understood after hearing this. It was as he guessed. The stronger the bones, the stronger the power at the same level. Only when one reaches a certain limit in the lower realm will there be a chance to break through to the next level.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen's eyes lit up slightly. With the "Talent Sequence", his talent could be infinitely strong!

Copper Skin and Iron Bones is only the lowest level of the Golden Body Sequence. He only needs to spend another thousand taels of silver to upgrade to the next level, and the cost will increase a hundredfold thereafter.

A thousand taels of silver is indeed out of his reach now, but as his realm improves, he believes that it will not be a difficult task in the future.

"That's enough! It's useless to mention these things. Innate talent and physique may not necessarily determine the upper limit of a warrior. I have seen peerless warriors with inferior physique and physique in the past!"

Li Guiyuan knocked on the table, interrupting this heavy topic.

Liu Yong was immediately excited and admiring when he heard this, and said, "You are talking about King Dingtian, right?"

Li Guiyuan nodded slightly and stretched out his hand to signal him to shut up. Such a strong man should not be talked about recklessly!
