It was often said that cultivation knew no time. It was only after Su Zimo embarked on the path of cultivation that he truly felt that way.
Unknowingly, Su Zimo had already spent three months in the cultivation field. His body had also undergone a complete transformation.
Others might not be able to sense this change, but Su Zimo was the only one who knew best.
During this period of time, he had already mastered Plow Heaven Stride and Moon-gazing Bovine. Coupled with the breathing and expiration technique, Su Zimo's skin had become increasingly tough. Ordinary swords and sabers would not be able to pierce through it!
Every movement of his was filled with ferocious strength.
However, what troubled Su Zimo was that he still did not know how to execute Bovine-tongued Saber.
In the cultivation field, Su Zimo took a deep breath. Holding his chest and straightening his back, he took a step forward with his left leg. It was the stance of Plow Heaven Stride.
Initially, Su Zimo stood at the same spot and looked like a weak scholar.
However, the moment he took a step forward, his aura underwent a complete transformation. It was as though he wanted to trample the entire sky beneath his feet!
At the same time, Su Zimo exerted strength from his waist and abdomen. His body leaned forward and he punched forward with both fists. As he exhaled, a sound similar to a moo could be heard. It was deep and powerful, shocking the mind.
Plow Heaven Stride and Moon-gazing Bovine were executed smoothly. Coupled with the breathing and expiration technique, it was even more powerful.
Die Yue, who was sitting on the green rock, saw this scene and nodded to herself.
After Moon-gazing Bovine, Su Zimo did not stop. He opened his fist and threw it forward.
The third style, Bovine-tongued Saber!
Piak!
A crisp sound was heard from the palm in the air.
Su Zimo sighed softly and shook his head.
It was still not right.
This palm looked intimidating but it did not execute the transformation of Bovine-tongued Saber.
Die Yue retracted her gaze.
It was already beyond her expectations that Su Zimo could reach such a level in three months.
Bovine-tongued Saber was considered the most difficult and also the most powerful style among the three styles of the bovine. One would definitely not be able to comprehend the essence of it through hard work.
This required a bit of comprehension. Otherwise, not to mention three months, even if it took three years or even thirty years, it would still be impossible to master this move.
After repeated failures, Su Zimo felt somewhat vexed. Thus, he walked out of the training grounds and went to the courtyard to relax, looking around.
Inadvertently, Su Zimo's gaze fell on the yellow ox that was chewing on the tender grass not far away.
The yellow ox was the most common ox in the market. It was used by farmers to plow the fields. At this moment, it chewed the leaves in its mouth and swallowed them into its stomach. It lowered its head and stuck out its tongue, sweeping a clump of tender grass. With a roll and a pull, the clump of tender grass was already in its mouth.
Su Zimo's eyes gradually brightened as an idea flashed through his mind.
These tender grasses were the most common type of grass. The blades of grass were slender and long, and the edges were serrated. When Su Zimo was young, he was not careful and was scratched by these blades of grass.
The ox's tongue was so smooth and tender, but it was not afraid of the grass.
The palm was like the ox's tongue, and the blade was like the grass. This was the essence of the Ox's Tongue Rolling Blade!
Su Zimo was overjoyed. The scene of the yellow ox eating grass kept appearing in his mind. He experienced the changes in that instant, repeatedly tried to figure it out, and subconsciously practiced it.
"Have you heard? The Su family has encountered an unforeseen event."
"It's said that the Su family's restaurant has been smashed to pieces. I'm afraid they can't continue to operate. It seems that someone has died!"
"So serious?"
A burst of discussion came from outside the mansion, which awakened Su Zimo from his cultivation.
Su Zimo woke up from his cultivation. His heart sank. He pushed the door open and ran straight to the Su family's residence.
Along the way, Su Zimo listened to the discussions around him and roughly understood the cause and effect of this unforeseen event.
The cause was that a few people were picking a quarrel and causing trouble in the Su family's restaurant. After a round of smashing, Uncle Zheng rushed over with his men. Unexpectedly, these people were masters of the perfected Acquired Realm. They were well-prepared and injured Uncle Zheng and his men.
"Damn it, I can't take this lying down!"
Su Zimo had just arrived when he heard a thunderous scolding. This person was Yuchi Huo, one of the guards of the Su family. He had a fiery temper.
The few people in the house were the most trusted people of the Su family. Su Zimo lost his parents when he was two years old. Uncle Zheng and the rest were the earliest batch of people in the Su family and doted on him very much.
In the beginning, it was these dozens of people who helped his elder brother gain a foothold in Ping Yang Town. The two generations had a deep relationship.
A strong smell of medicine, mixed with a faint smell of blood, greeted him.
"Second Young Master is here."
Everyone in the Su family did not neglect Su Zimo at all, even if he had lost his scholarly honors.
Su Zimo nodded and looked at an old man lying on the bed.
"Second Young Master." The old man's hair and beard were all white and his face was yellowish. He seemed to have one foot in the grave. When he saw Su Zimo, he still smiled and there was a trace of doting in his eyes.
Uncle Zheng was the housekeeper of the Su family. Although he did not know any martial arts, everyone in the Su family, including Su Hong, was respectful to him.
Uncle Zheng was thin and old. Now that he was seriously injured, it was unknown if he could survive.
"Uncle Zheng, who is the other party?" Su Zimo was furious but his expression was calm. He came to the bedside and asked softly.
"Who else can it be? It must be the three grandsons of the Zhao, Li and Yang families!" Yuchi Huo scolded.
"This matter is not so simple." The person who spoke was in his forties. He looked calm and steady. He was the leader of the Su family's guards, Liu Yu.
"Uncle Liu, what do you mean?" Su Zimo asked.
Liu Yu looked at Su Zimo and wanted to say something but stopped.
How could Yuchi Huo hold himself back? He shouted, "Liu Yu, why are you being so wishy-washy? Look at the situation now! Mr Zheng was injured by them and Old Guan died a tragic death. If not for the fact that your subordinates were smart and fought their way out, Mr Zheng would not be alive now. That group of people wanted to kill him! "
"Uncle Guan is dead?" Su Zimo felt a pain in his heart.
When he was young, Su Zimo often rode on Uncle Guan's neck and grabbed his hair.
But no matter how Su Zimo messed around, Uncle Guan was never angry. He would only play with him with a smile.
Su Zimo gritted his teeth. "The government doesn't care about such matters?"
"The government only cares about the commoners. They can't wait to avoid the conflict between these few families. Moreover, this is a matter of the pugilistic world, "Liu Yu shook his head and said.
Su Zimo asked in a low voice, "Uncle Liu, what exactly happened?"
Liu Yu sighed softly. "My guards followed those people and saw them enter the Shen family."
"The Shen family is a bunch of ungrateful bastards!" Yuchi Huo smashed the table beside him with a punch and panted heavily.
All these years, due to the relationship between Su Zimo and Shen Meng Qi, the Su family had helped the Shen family a lot. But now that Shen Meng Qi had joined the immortal sect and soared, the Shen family had turned their attention to the Su family.
Liu Yu continued, "I've investigated. The Shen family is preparing to build a restaurant. Our Su family's restaurant is in the way."
Su Zimo was expressionless as he listened to Liu Yu's analysis quietly.
"Cough, cough!"
Uncle Zheng coughed a few times and panted slightly. "Although the Shen family is taking the lead in this matter, the other three families might be adding fuel to the fire. This matter ends here. We'll talk about it when Young Master returns. "
"Are we just going to tolerate it?" Yuchi Huo clenched his teeth.
Liu Yu sighed. "Let's tolerate it first. The Shen family has risen too quickly. They might already have Connate Experts. If we go to them rashly, we might die there."
"When will Young Master return?"
"I don't know. I reckon he'll be back soon."
Su Zimo suddenly said, "Uncle Zheng, recuperate well. I'll go out to take a breather."
With that, Su Zimo turned around and left.
...
Three months ago, Su Zimo's scholarly achievements were stripped and Shen Meng Qi left. Coupled with Zhui Feng's death, he was truly filled with resentment.
Otherwise, he would not have nearly lost control that night and stabbed that ruffian to death.
During this period of time, Su Zimo had been cultivating bitterly under Die Yue's guidance. But in reality, he had not vented his resentment.
Now that the Su family had met with such an unforeseen event, Uncle Zheng was seriously injured and Uncle Guan died tragically, Su Zimo was completely enraged.
When Su Zimo walked out of the Su family's residence, there were only two words in his mind - They had gone too far!
Su Zimo had a rough understanding of the difference between the Postnatal and Connate realms in the pugilistic world.
The Postnatal and Connate realms were divided into the early-stage, mid-stage, late-stage and perfected realms. His elder brother, Su Hong, was an early-stage Connate expert.
Su Zimo was not sure what level of expert he could go against now.
In Su Zimo's opinion, there was no way that three months of cultivation could match up to dozens of years of hard work from others.
But Su Zimo still wanted to go to the Shen family to seek justice. After all, he had studied for more than ten years and felt that everything was more important than the word 'reason'.
The Shen family had to give him an explanation!
Not long later, Su Zimo arrived at the Shen family's residence.
In just three months, the Shen family had undergone tremendous changes. It had developed from an ordinary family to the current Shen family's residence. Two majestic stone lions stood on both sides of the vermilion door.
If not for the fact that Su Zimo remembered the location, he would not have believed that this was Shen Meng Qi's home.
Su Zimo walked up the stairs. Without knocking on the door, he exerted strength in his arms and pushed the door open.
At this moment, there were quite a number of people gathered in the Shen family's courtyard. They were drinking to their hearts' content and chatting merrily.
With Su Zimo's sudden intrusion, the commotion in the courtyard gradually dissipated. These people stopped what they were doing and stared at Su Zimo with an unfriendly expression.
These people exuded a wild aura and looked ferocious. Their weapons gleamed coldly at the side.
Someone with sharp eyes recognized Su Zimo and said sarcastically, "Aiyo, isn't this the Second Young Master Su from the Country of Da Qi? What brings you to the Shen family's residence?"
"Haha, brother, you don't know. Second Young Master Su has been stripped of his scholarly achievements and is now a free man."
These wild people from the pugilistic world looked sarcastic and stared at Su Zimo maliciously. They even deliberately knocked their weapons against each other. Sparks flew and there was an ear-piercing sound of metal clashing.
If it were an ordinary scholar, he would have been so scared that his legs would have turned to jelly when faced with such a scene.
However, Su Zimo's expression did not change. Instead, he walked to the middle of the courtyard.
Back then, Su Zimo had not even started cultivating and he dared to confront Perfected Cang Lang because of the injustice in his heart. These wild people from the pugilistic world in front of him were worlds apart from Perfected Jin Dan. How could they suppress him?
Su Zimo's face was as calm as water. His eyes swept across the courtyard and he said calmly, "I want to see Shen Nan."
Shen Nan was Shen Meng Qi's brother.
"Haha, Second Young Master Su, you came uninvited. Please excuse me for not going out to welcome you."
His voice was heard before he saw the person.
Su Zimo's gaze shifted. In the depths of the long corridor of the courtyard, a man in a white robe was walking slowly towards him. He was full of smiles but did not hide the mockery in his eyes.
