'Drifting Cloud Palm'. This palm technique did not require internal energy to cultivate, but it required the assistance of a high-level movement technique. The palm technique focused on drifting and elegance. When practiced to the realm of great success, a palm strike would be like a floating cloud in the sky. The enemy would only feel weak, but in fact, their internal organs would be severely injured.
"This set of palm techniques and my 'Drifting Smoke Movement Technique' are simply a perfect match!"
When he thought of the 'Drifting Smoke Movement Technique', Luo Ping was filled with emotion. In the days when he was unable to cultivate, only this movement technique accompanied him. Although it did not help him withstand the humiliation, it gave him a fulfilling and hopeful life.
When Luo Ping was six years old, he happily welcomed the arrival of cultivation. Like the others, the family hired a Martial Master for him to teach him.
However, in the following teachings, the master discovered that no matter how much he cultivated, Luo Ping did not have the strength to truss a chicken. It was difficult for him to even lift a 30 jin object.
Thus, the master truthfully reported the situation to the County Marquis and his parents. Everyone examined his body and did not find any abnormalities. They could only conclude that he was unable to cultivate.
After this, the master did not appear in the County Yamen again. Although Luo Ping insisted on soaking his body in herbs every day, it still did not have the slightest effect.
Until one day, Luo Haoyu gave a martial arts manual to Luo Ping. Only then did his gloomy world have a glimmer of light.
'Drifting Smoke Movement Technique' was a movement technique passed down in the Luo Family. It did not require much physical strength to move around and there was no restriction on the realm of the practitioner.
However, this movement technique was only effective on flat ground. Once it entered valleys and ravines, its practicality was greatly reduced. Very few of the Luo Family's disciples cultivated it.
The purpose of a martial artist's cultivation was, on one hand, to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts. On the other hand, it was to serve the country. To pursue the pinnacle of martial arts, one needed to meet strong opponents. To serve the country, one needed to fight on the battlefield and gallop through strongholds.
Luo Ping's situation just so happened to meet the requirements of this body movement technique. Moreover, he was unable to practice martial arts. Those rules and regulations were too distant for him. The current situation was the most important.
His idea was to train his body movement technique to its peak. Even if he encountered an enemy that he couldn't defeat, it wouldn't be wrong to use his body movement technique to escape …
With a faint smile, Luo Ping looked at the Body Technique Essentials in his hands and impatiently started practicing.
The Drifting Smoke Movement Technique, as its name implied, when cultivated to the pinnacle, one's body would be as fast as smoke and as light as catkins. In the blink of an eye, one would be able to dodge the opponent's attack and then take the opponent by surprise. It could be said to be an essential skill for escaping and assassination.
This movement technique was divided into six stages. The first three stages were relatively easy to cultivate, while the latter three required luck.
Back then, the Clan Master who created this movement technique had only practiced it to the fifth level. Even so, he was still a famous figure at that time.
Spring passed and autumn came. When Luo Ping had just turned 12 years old, he finally practiced to the third level. Because he had been concentrating on one thing for many years, not only was his speed fast, but he was also exceptionally skilled.
After thinking for a while, Luo Ping threw away all distracting thoughts and started to study the Floating Cloud Palm seriously. This palm technique was divided into three styles, also known as the Floating Cloud Three Styles. Its power gradually increased …
After Luo Ping finished reading the introduction of the "Wandering Cloud Palm", he smiled with satisfaction. Without hesitation, he began to practice according to the description of the palm technique. At first, he felt that it was very difficult, but after familiarizing himself with it, he found that this palm technique was indeed worthy of its name.

"Father, do you think Luo Ping will be able to survive this time?"
"Humph, live? Even if he doesn't die, he'll still be half-dead. Does he really think he's a genius? Does he think he can jump three levels in three and a half months? "
"Father, do you think I should secretly find some people to set off some firecrackers and blow some trumpets when he falls on the day of the arena competition?"
"Hey, Gang 'er, don't mess around. If your grandfather finds out, you'll be in big trouble."
"When the dust settles, we can celebrate by ourselves."
"Yes, Father!"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Second Brother, when the time comes, don't show any mercy. However, don't kill him immediately. Torture him slowly. Make him suffer so much that he'll wish he was dead."
"Don't worry, Father. Third Brother has suffered such a great humiliation. As his older brother, I will definitely seek justice for him. Just wait and see."
"Poor Juicai, he met with such a calamity at such a young age. Previously, it was all Father's fault for always controlling him and restricting him from entering the brothels. In the future, he won't be able to go even if he wants to."
In the courtyard of the Zhang family, the richest man in the prefecture city, Zhang Fugui, had a pained expression on his face. When he thought of his third son's situation, he wished he could skin Luo Ping alive.
"Father, ever since Third Brother woke up and found out that he can't have sex, he's been like a madman. He hits everyone he sees and doesn't eat or drink. I'm really worried that he won't be able to get over it."
"Boss, we must send more people to watch over him at all times. We can't let him do anything stupid. Now, only by killing Luo Ping can we cure his illness."
"Master, bad news! Master, bad news! Third Young Master is going crazy again! Please go and take a look!"
Outside the door came the anxious shouts of the servants.
"Let's go."
Zhang Fugui and his three sons quickly ran out of the house and rushed to a room in the courtyard …
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Ah!"
Luo Ping let out a comfortable groan. His whole body was immersed in the medicinal herbs, and only his head was exposed.
"I didn't think that Master's Yuan Fortifying Pill would be so powerful. I originally thought that I had already completely refined it, but I didn't think that there would be so much stored in my bones."
"After soaking in the medicinal herbs for such a long time, its medicinal properties were actually stimulated once again. Now that my 'Strength of Muscles and Bones' has increased by quite a bit, it seems that I have a greater chance of success."
Feeling the 'Strength of Muscles and Bones' in his bones continuously increasing, Luo Ping was even more confident in the increase of his strength.
The Body Strengthening Stage mainly trained the strength of the muscles, while the Body Refining Stage mainly trained the ligaments, which was the strength of the bones. The 'Strength of Muscles and Bones' was a strength unique to the Body Refining Stage.
"Tendons are the backbone, bones are the trunk." Tendons are the ligaments, and bones are the bones. The bones are the framework of the body. Without the support of the bones, a person is just a pile of soft meat, without any strength.
The tendons are the connection between the bones and the muscles. They are also the starting point and engine for the contraction of the muscles to produce strength. They play a crucial role in the movement of the human body. Therefore, to cripple a person, one doesn't have to break the legs or cut the flesh, but rather, remove the tendons.
A martial artist who has just entered the Body Refining Stage usually has an arm strength of three hundred jin. As the 'Strength of Muscles and Bones' continues to increase, the arm strength will also gradually increase. When the arm strength reaches five hundred jin, one will reach the peak of the Martial Warrior level. At this time, the 'Strength of Muscles and Bones' will also be raised to the limit.
"Intermediate Martial Warrior level, arm strength of six hundred and fifty jin! This is far from enough. "
Luo Ping was still very dissatisfied with his own strength. Although his strength was already far beyond that of an ordinary person, if he wanted to compete with a peak Martial Master, he would need to reach at least nine hundred jin.
"It seems that I have to strengthen my strength training!"
Although there was still some time before the start of the 'County Government Arena Tournament', many people had already arrived at the county capital. They were all participants from the nearby cities and towns. Under the guidance of the mayor, they first came to adapt to the competition.
The 'County Government Arena Tournament' was held once every three years. Each county in the country would compete independently. The top twenty winners from each county would be able to participate in the 'Dragon and Tiger Tournament' of the higher state capital.
The 'Dragon and Tiger Tournament' would determine the eight strongest people in each state. They would then be able to head to the imperial capital and compete in the final 'Champion' battle in front of the king.
Once the champion won, there was no need to talk about the rewards. The title of Marquis was even more tempting. Therefore, every time the tournament was held, it would attract a large number of aristocratic prodigies to participate.
Before the 'County Government Arena Tournament' was held, the cities below would also conduct a selection of participants. This selection wasn't a martial arts competition, but rather a fixed standard.
The participants had to be at the Martial Warrior level and not exceed the Martial Grand Master level. They also had to have not participated in the Arena Tournament more than three times.
As long as they met the standard, they could participate. Therefore, the number of participants each time was incomparably large. However, in the end, only twenty people would be selected. It was almost one in a hundred. One could imagine the intensity of the competition.
… … …
"Yo, Governor Wu, you're early. I heard that there are many prodigies in your city. Looks like you're going to shine this year!"
"Governor Xu, you're joking again. When has your city not been at the top of the rankings? There have even been people who have advanced to the top eight of the 'Dragon and Tiger Tournament'. Your strength is truly dazzling!"
"Haha, you're too kind. Since the lodging of the participants has been arranged, let's hurry up and pay our respects to the Marquis!"
"I was thinking the same thing. Let's go together then."
"Giddyup, giddyup."
"The king has issued an urgent order. Idlers should make way. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
An armored soldier galloped on a warhorse. He held the imperial order in his hand and left. The two governors were shocked and looked at each other.
"Why would there be an imperial order at this time? And it seems to be very important?"
"I'm not sure. We'll know when we see the Marquis."
… … …
"Arm strength of 700 Jin, still not enough!"
Luo Ping carried a huge stone weight of a few hundred Jin in each hand. He kept throwing it on the ground, catching it, and throwing it up again. His body was soaked in sweat, but he didn't care. He was completely immersed in his practice.
… … …
"Arm strength of 800 Jin, still a little short."
After soaking in the herbs, Luo Ping hit the wooden stake crazily. The 'Bang Bang Bang Bang' sound lasted for an hour before it stopped. Then came the sound of heavy and hurried footsteps. It was Luo Ping running with weights.
… … …
"Haha, I've finally mastered the first move of the 'Wandering Cloud Palm'."
When the Challenge Tournament was about to start, Luo Ping didn't practice his strength. Instead, he practiced the first move of the 'Wandering Cloud Palm'.
"Palm technique, fist technique, sword technique, and movement technique should be enough."
… … … …
At this time, all the participants from the cities had arrived at the County City, causing the inn to be overcrowded.
However, although there were a lot of people, there weren't any injuries or fights. According to the law of the country, if someone caused trouble at this time, he would be beheaded on the spot.
If there were any conflicts or old grudges that couldn't be resolved, they could be settled in the "private arena".
The 'Private Arena' was specially set up to resolve grievances and conflicts. Once in the arena, life and death were not a concern. Even so, the number of warriors who appeared in the arena every day didn't decrease.
At this time, there were two people standing face to face in the 'Private Arena'. Their eyes were burning with hatred as if they wanted to devour each other.
"Wang Daring, you seduced my wife and caused her to leave me. You even abandoned our three-year-old son and starved to death. Today, I must take revenge."
"Humph, Song Ji, don't be so righteous. If you didn't 'seduce' my sister first, causing her to get pregnant out of wedlock, being laughed at by the villagers, and finally committing suicide by jumping into the river, would I do this? "
"Bullshit, you seduced my wife first, then I 'seduced' your sister."
"You 'seduced' my sister first."
"You seduced my wife first."
… …
… …
At this time, the onlookers finally couldn't stand it anymore. Someone in the crowd suddenly said, "Are you going to fight or not? You've already done it, do you think you can change the order? Hurry up and fight, if you don't fight, the sun will go down. "
"Yes, hurry up and fight."
"Hurry up and fight."
