Chapter 8

"Abi, have you obtained the internal martial arts technique?" Murong Fu asked anxiously after getting ashore.

Abi did not take out the boxing manual but asked, "Young Master Murong, where is my contract?"

Murong Fu said, "Brother Bao, give her the contract."

Only after Abi received the contract did she hand over the *Essentials of Boxing* to Murong Fu.

Murong Fu, eager to read the *Essentials of Boxing*, flipped it open and saw the cultivation system, theory, and methods of internal martial arts. He laughed loudly, "Ha ha, it really is a boxing manual. Internal martial arts are truly amazing. With this internal martial arts, I, Murong Fu, will surely dominate the world and restore the Great Yan; it will no longer be a dream."

Abi gave Murong Fu a cold look and said, "Since you have obtained what you wanted, Young Master Murong, I will take my leave."

Bao Bu Tong and Feng Bo E had their hands on their sword hilts, ready to strike Abi at Murong Fu's command.

Murong Fu laughed, "Let her go. She stole Wang Yue's boxing manual; even if we don't kill her, Wang Yue won't let her off."

Abi boarded a small boat, feeling a sense of relief. She would be a free person from now on, with no ties to Yanzi Wharf or the Murong family. But how would she face Wang Yue?

"Wang Yue, I am sorry to you," Abi thought to herself, "I can only be your wife in the next life."

Abi did not know that by giving the internal martial arts manual to Murong Fu, she would create a powerful monster. In the future, even experts like Qiao Feng and Duan Yu would not be his match.

...

At Yanzi Wharf, Murong Fu was engrossed in reading the boxing manual. From the moment he obtained the internal martial arts technique, his fate would be completely changed.

"Cousin, this internal martial arts is indeed amazing. I will focus on cultivating internal martial arts and supplement it with true qi cultivation. In the future, I will surely be invincible in the world," Murong Fu said, his voice filled with excitement.

He was now somewhat grateful to Wang Yue. If it weren't for Wang Yue, he wouldn't have learned such a profound martial arts technique.

Wang Yuyan was also immersed in the cultivation system of internal martial arts.

"Cousin, the levels of internal martial arts are clear. As long as you follow the steps, you will surely become a hidden strength martial artist. However, becoming a transformation strength martial artist is not so easy. Moreover, the last two levels of the *Essentials of Boxing*, the dan strength and the ultimate strength, are only named and briefly described, with no cultivation methods at all. I think the last two levels of the technique must be in Abi's or Wang Yue's hands," Wang Yuyan said.

Murong Fu shook his head, "The handwriting is Wang Yue's. I think Wang Yue didn't write the cultivation methods for dan strength and ultimate strength. Wang Yue is only at the hidden strength level now. When I reach the hidden strength level, I will naturally be able to defeat him. Then I can ask him for the techniques."

The more profound the technique, the less it is recorded. Cultivators pass it down orally, memorizing it in their minds.

But they didn't know that Wang Yue himself didn't know how to cultivate the later levels. He only had a vague concept of dan strength, and as for the ultimate strength, the realm of breaking through the void and seeing the divine, Wang Yue was also in the dark.

Wang Yue was both cultivating and researching.

It was like feeling one's way across a river.

The boxing manual they obtained was already all that Wang Yue knew.

If Wang Yue was compared to them, he only had a bit more internal martial arts foundation and insight. After all, the late Qing and early Republic of China era was a time when internal martial arts practitioners shone.

After thoroughly understanding the cultivation methods of the manifest strength, Murong Fu quickly began to cultivate.

Murong Fu was extremely intelligent, lacking only the innate strength of Qiao Feng. Now that Murong Fu had internal martial arts, he would temper his muscles and bones, cultivate his qi and blood, and in the future, he would surely surpass Qiao Feng.

Murong Fu's insight was already high, and with the guidance of the martial arts genius Wang Yuyan, he quickly reached the manifest strength level.

...

Wang Family Village.

Wang Yue looked at the letter Abi left in his study, feeling uneasy.

"Abi took my *Essentials of Boxing* when she and I had our match."

Wang Yue didn't blame Abi. After all, Abi had her own reasons. Moreover, Wang Yue's life was saved by Abi. Even if it was the *Essentials of Boxing*, Abi could have asked for anything, and Wang Yue would have given it to her without hesitation.

"Abi must have gone to Yanzi Wharf. Will Murong Fu harm her?"

Wang Yue's face changed. Murong Fu was ruthless and would do anything to restore the Great Yan.

"I can't let that happen. I have to find her."

Wang Yue quickly left the house and rushed to the lake near Suzhou, jumping onto a small boat.

The boat's speed gradually increased, and finally, it sped towards Yanzi Wharf like an arrow.

"Abi!"

Wang Yue shouted loudly as he arrived at Yanzi Wharf.

"Wang Yue has come."

Bao Bu Tong and Feng Bo E quickly arrived and shouted, "Wang Yue, Abi is not at Yanzi Wharf. Don't think you can do as you please just because you are strong."

Wang Yue said coldly, "Murong Fu, I know you are here. Come out."

Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan walked out.

"Wang Yue, I lost the match to you. What more do you want? Are you here to show off your strength at Yanzi Wharf?" Murong Fu asked coldly.

Now, although Murong Fu's martial arts were not as good as Wang Yue's, he had obtained the internal martial arts technique, and surpassing Wang Yue was only a matter of time.

"Where is Abi?" Wang Yue asked loudly. "Abi took my boxing manual. She left a letter saying she came to Yanzi Wharf. Murong Fu, hand over Abi quickly, or I will tear down Yanzi Wharf. Do you really think I won't kill you?"

Murong Fu's face turned pale, but he was temporarily helpless against Wang Yue's strength. After all, Wang Yue's current martial arts were far superior to his.

He could only endure.

Wang Yue looked at Wang Yuyan and asked, "Miss Wang, tell me where Abi is. To be honest, I don't really care about the *Essentials of Boxing*. I won't pursue you for obtaining the internal martial arts technique, but you must hand over Abi. Don't force me to kill."

Wang Yuyan said, "Young Master Wang Yue, Abi did come to Yanzi Wharf, but she left quickly. We don't know where she is now."

Wang Yue nodded, "If that's the case, I will take my leave. But you better pray that nothing happens to Abi, or I will come back!"

Wang Yue knew Wang Yuyan wouldn't lie. He couldn't waste time with Murong Fu and needed to find Abi as soon as possible.

As Wang Yue left, Feng Bo E shouted, "Young Master, this Wang Yue is really too arrogant. He actually came to Yanzi Wharf to cause trouble!"

Murong Fu said coldly, "He has the ability, but I will make him regret it."

...

Wang Yue left Yanzi Wharf and searched everywhere for Abi but couldn't find her.

"Where could Abi be?"

Wang Yue was filled with anxiety. He had searched all the places he could think of.

Wang Yue closed his eyes and recalled, then his mind brightened, "To the east, the place where Abi and I first met. If I were Abi, I would go there."

Wang Yue sped towards the east.

At the lakeside, Wang Yue finally saw Abi's figure.

Abi was holding a long sword, about to slash her neck.

Wang Yue's face changed, and he picked up a pebble, using hidden strength to throw it.

"Bang."

The pebble knocked the sword away.

Wang Yue came to Abi's side and shouted, "What are you doing? Why are you doing such a foolish thing?"

Abi cried, "Brother Wang Yue, I am sorry to you. I stole your internal martial arts technique and gave it to Murong Fu..."

Wang Yue held Abi in his arms and comforted her, "You silly girl, it's just a martial arts technique. It's not as important as you think. To me, you are the most important. Besides, that internal martial arts technique is just some of my insights, and some parts may not be reasonable. It's only a half-finished product, hehe. Murong Fu's greatest achievement in the future will be the same as mine, hidden strength."

Abi lay in Wang Yue's arms and asked softly, "Brother Wang Yue, you really don't blame me?"

Wang Yue smiled, "I can write many copies of the internal martial arts technique, but there is only one Abi. Let's go home."

Wang Yue held Abi's hand and walked back to Wang Family Village.

Now, they had no ties to Yanzi Wharf or the Murong family and could live their peaceful lives.

...

Wang Yue found the Suzhou Prefect Li Yun, and after dividing some benefits, he finally resolved the issues with the soy sauce and five-spice seasoning formulas.

Originally, Li Yun wanted the formulas, but after Wang Yue demonstrated his skills, he was frightened and had to compromise.

Besides practicing, Wang Yue took Abi for walks and taught the village children martial arts.

These children, when they grew up, would surely become manifest strength or even hidden strength martial artists.

Only with a strong next generation could Wang Family Village become strong.

With a calm mind, Wang Yue could feel his martial arts improving every day. Although his strength didn't increase significantly, his control over his body became more and more proficient.

Wang Yue could now control every bone and muscle in his body, even his heartbeat and blood flow.

He had fully mastered the subtle realm, and every punch and kick, every move, did not waste a single bit of strength.

"Brother Wang Yue, today Sister Ajuzhu came to see me. She said Murong Fu is going to the Mount Tai Martial Arts Conference, and she and Miss Yuyan will also go," Abi suddenly said to Wang Yue one day.

Wang Yue understood Abi's meaning, "You are worried about Ajuzhu?"

Abi nodded, "Yes. Ajuzhu and I grew up in Yanzi Wharf, like sisters. This time going to Mount Tai, I am afraid she will be in danger. If Miss Yuyan is in danger, Murong Fu will act, but if Ajuzhu is in danger, he might not."

Wang Yue nodded, "If that's the case, let's go together. Murong Fu's martial arts have probably improved. This time, I won't let him become the leader of the martial arts world. Although I don't care about the spread of internal martial arts, I won't allow him to use my martial arts to show off."

Since the martial arts conference was still some time away, Wang Yue and Abi were not in a hurry.

Wang Yue wore a well-fitting leather outfit, and Abi wore a white female martial artist's outfit, making anyone who saw them feel a sense of brightness.

With silver, Wang Yue and Abi left Wang Family Village and headed for Mount Tai.
