Chapter 13: Small Success in Health
Li Quan first took Fang Chen to get the elite disciple uniforms and identity tokens. From then on, he could receive the monthly resources by simply showing his identity token.

The housekeeping manager was very enthusiastic and straightforwardly gave Fang Chen this month's ten taels of silver. As for the brave pill, Fang Chen didn't need it yet, and the manager also said that he would help notify the herbal medicine hall to replace it with a health-preserving soup, and Fang Chen could go and get it.

Everything went quite smoothly. On the one hand, it was because of the good atmosphere of Liyang Martial Arts School, and on the other hand, it was Fang Chen's own face.

By now the news has spread throughout the martial arts school. The school owner has determined that Fang Chen has a superior physique and has chosen him to be an elite disciple. It is basically certain that he will become a martial arts master in the future.

Now is the time to try to curry favor with him while he is weak, so who would try to trip him up?

Moreover, in the eyes of some old disciples, he still has hope of making further progress. Who knows whether the owner of the hall will take a liking to him and accept him as his personal disciple?
This is truly a step to heaven. With the status of the museum owner, those noble families will not dare to look down on Fang Chen.

Two days later

Fang Chen was practicing the Lieyang Fist in his own yard. As the wind from his fists flew, leaves on the ground rose and fell. His footsteps were firm and his postures and movements changed, with a sense of beauty of power.

Fang Chen finished his training and stood up. He picked up the porcelain bowl on the stone table beside him and drank the bowl of nourishing soup. As the fragrant and hot current rolled around, he suddenly shouted:
"Hey!"

The bronze skin stretched out, and a pair of iron fists slammed on the table!
"Oh!"

The stone table shattered into pieces in an instant!

The father and daughter in the house heard the noise and ran out in a hurry. Their jaws dropped when they saw the scene in front of them.

Fang Chen looked at him and smiled softly, "I have made some progress in keeping fit, it's done!"

【Fang Chen】

[Realm]: Small achievement in health preservation
[Talent Sequence]: Golden Body (① Copper Skin and Iron Bones 25%)

[Martial Arts]: Lieyang Fist (Beginner)
[Talent Value]: 0
In the past two days, after drinking two bowls of nourishing soup every day, his iron skin and bones have improved by leaps and bounds, and now when he strikes hard, a sound of metal can be heard.

Fang Chen clenched his fists. An average person who has achieved a small level of physical fitness would have a strength of around 400 kilograms, but he felt that he had at least 600 kilograms of strength.

This is the gap in talent. The gap will get bigger as time goes by, and...

"My strength is defense!"

Now even if he stood there and let someone of the same level hit him, it would just be tickling him!

"The day when we become invulnerable is not far away!"

Fang Chen was very satisfied with his current situation. Since traveling through time, he finally felt a sense of security.

The innate talents of people in this world are the same as those given by their "Talent Sequence". They all need to grow and reveal themselves slowly over time and in certain realms.

Moreover, Fang Chen estimated that this should be the result of this golden finger adapting to the laws of this world.

Of course, the biggest gap between him and others is that his bones can be improved further, and now is far from his limit!

"Brother, have you become an immortal?"

At this time, the little girl ran over and looked at the mess in front of her, and said excitedly.

Fang Chen rolled his eyes and gave her a slap on the face.

"What kind of immortal do you want to become? Warriors like us don't believe in ghosts, gods or immortals. We only believe in ourselves!"

The little girl covered her head with her hands, pouted her lips, and looked at her brother angrily with resentful eyes.

Fang Chen couldn't help but laugh. He pinched her chubby little face, and only smiled with satisfaction when he saw that the corners of her mouth could even sway.

"Hahaha!"

"Stinky brother! I'm not going to pay attention to you!" The little girl bent her body and strode into the house.

When Mr. Fang on the steps saw this scene, his eyes turned slightly red and a relieved smile appeared on his calm face.

Fang Chen also felt relieved watching his father's gradually getting stronger. After knowing that his son could earn nearly 70 taels of silver every month, Fang's father finally agreed to eat exotic beast meat to replenish his body. For this reason, Fang Chen also bought some exotic beast meat from Li Quan. Of course, this time he bought it at the market price. Under Fang Chen's insistence, Li Quan finally agreed reluctantly.

Now that you have the ability, you naturally should not owe favors to others casually, otherwise you will be seen as greedy and like to take advantage of others.

And if he has the chance, he will slowly return the favor. It is not good to always owe others something. This is not about drawing a line with others, but about making himself feel better.

Just as Fang Chen walked out of the courtyard and was about to go to the martial arts gym, Liu Yuan walked over from the opposite side.

Seeing this, he hurried over and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Liu, it's been a long time since I last saw you!"

Liu Yuan was delighted to see Fang Chen, and he said with a cupped hand: "Well, I went to Shenglin County to buy some medicinal herbs a few days ago, and I just came back."

Fang Chen nodded in understanding. He now knew that Liu Yuan's family ran a medicine store, and Zhenyun Mountain in Shenglin County was the largest medicinal material production area in Xuhua County, so it was not surprising that he went to Shenglin County.

Liu Yuan waved his hand, "Don't mention me for now."

He looked at Fang Chen in surprise, "Junior brother really gave me a big surprise!"

Being stared at, Fang Chen felt a little embarrassed. He clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Brother!"

"Oh, it's not a compliment, it's not a compliment. Senior brother is still just a formal disciple, but junior brother has surpassed him and become an elite disciple, and he has a superior physique! This..."

He paused here. God knows how surprised he was when he came back and heard about this. His father, who was originally somewhat dissatisfied with him for giving the yard to Fang Chen to live in for free, also praised him a lot in the family.

He also said that he had a keen eye for talent, and that his son had spotted a genius that even his senior brother Li Zhen had misjudged.

This made Liu Yuan feel a little embarrassed. He really just felt that Fang Chen had a good personality and wanted to make friends with him, but the result was quite different.

"Brother Liu, are you here specifically to see me?"

Fang Chen's words interrupted Liu Yuan's thoughts, and he quickly responded: "Of course, how can I be absent from such a big event for Junior Brother? Come on, I've set up a banquet at Tianxiang Tower to congratulate Junior Brother on his promotion to an elite disciple!"

Fang Chen waved his hand and said, "I should be the one to ask Senior Brother, you have helped me so much."

Seeing this, Liu Yuan said with a straight face: "Why? Junior Brother has become rich, so I can no longer hire him?"

Fang Chen smiled bitterly, hesitated for a moment, and nodded. Only then did Liu Yuan smile brightly again.

"That's right. This is my junior brother's promotion banquet. How can I let you pay for it? Come on, come on!"

Fang Chen couldn't resist and didn't insist anymore. Things are different now and he can only eat according to his ability.

In the past, accepting such things was considered a favor, and it was never done casually. Liu Yuan also knew his limits and never mentioned it.

But now it was different. This was just an ordinary meal between friends and it was not worth making a big deal out of it. Naturally, Fang Chen had no reason to refuse.

Warriors don't like to use carriages, and since the distance was not far, the two of them simply walked directly to Tianxiang Tower.

On the way, Fang Chen asked, "Just now, Senior Brother seemed to say that he was still a formal disciple?"

He looked at Liu Yuan. From his feeling, he didn't look like someone who had never practiced strength.

Liu Yuan knew what he was thinking and said directly: "That's right, I am not an elite disciple."

"Being an elite disciple is not as simple as you think. Not only does it require combat power, but it also requires a simple family background. Someone like Junior Brother Fang is the best!"

Fang Chen understood it instantly. The martial arts school paid 70 taels of silver every month to elite disciples, which was almost equivalent to half-supporting them. It was naturally impossible for this to be simple.

Fighting power is easy to understand. Since elite disciples are called elites, their fighting power naturally cannot be too bad. A martial arts school does not keep useless people!
As for family background, martial arts schools generally do not spend a lot of effort to cultivate children with powerful backgrounds. Otherwise, if a conflict occurs, who will the disciples who have been trained with great effort help?
It’s hard to say.

Especially those like Liu Yuan who come from a powerful family are even less qualified. Such people can only become formal disciples in the martial arts school at most.
