Chapter 9: Patriarch Test
In the world of immortality, in the early stages of physical cultivation, it is divided into health preservation, strength training, moves, hardness and softness, and supernatural powers.

The first three levels are just the foundation. Health preservation means keeping your body healthy and gradually building up strength.

After building your strength you can easily lift a hundred-jin stone, then you can deeply master the moves of one or more martial arts, and when you have perfected them you can move on to the moves.

But hardness and softness are different. It is the pinnacle of the one-star realm. One must control the qi and blood to reach a state of both hardness and softness.

He rises like the wind and falls like an arrow. He is as agile as a civet cat or a monkey. In the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, he is already a top-notch strong man.

Naturally, his strength also increased greatly. His divine power was as high as a thousand pounds, and his hardness and flexibility were at least five hundred pounds. He could be said to have mastered the martial arts and had some insights of his own.

Although the insights are rare and weak, and not worth mentioning for a truly strong person, it is still the first step.

It is of even greater significance to Li Pingan.

It was said before that he was comparable in moves, hardness and flexibility, but that was just the state of having his gene lock activated. In essence, he was just an ordinary person, with at most stronger physical fitness, but there was still a big difference between him and a real warrior.

And while practicing martial arts tonight, he completely digested the memories of this identity, the experience in martial arts, etc. Then he stepped into the realm of hardness and softness in one go, and he has truly become a warrior.

There is no need to be afraid of the test from the head of the Li family tomorrow. By unlocking the genetic lock based on the realm of hardness and softness, even if he encounters a warrior in the realm of divine power, Li Ping'an dares to fight with him. It is still uncertain who will win or lose in a matter of life and death.

People who have awakened their gene locks are best at fighting for life and death.

With peace of mind, Li Pingan went to rest contentedly.

The great way is to alternate between relaxation and tension. Even though he has become a warrior, his physical realm is still that of a mortal and he cannot stay awake all the time.

What's more, he traveled through time and space to become a reincarnator within one day. As soon as he entered the world of immortality, he encountered a group of wolves and evil beasts. He had another fierce fight with them. Then he didn't feel safe even when he arrived at the Li family residence. He practiced the Bull Demon Fist for a whole night and had indeed reached his limit at this moment.

He slept soundly and was not disturbed by anyone until noon the next day.

After washing and eating, he practiced martial arts for an hour to familiarize himself with the current level before the summons from the head of the Li family finally arrived.

Led by the servants, we arrived at the martial arts arena, where a middle-aged man in casual clothes with a majestic figure, bright eyes, elegant temperament, was already standing in the center of the arena.

It was the head of the Li family, Li Rulong.

Besides Li Tianhai, there was also a young general standing beside him. Judging from his strong physique and sharp eyes, he was obviously also a martial arts expert.

"See the head of the family!"

Seeing Li Ping'an coming, Li Rulong smiled faintly: "You can take a rest now."

"nature!"

Li Pingan nodded, his face calm.

Apparently, he already knew about the martial arts training last night, and he had specifically instructed that no one should disturb him from resting.

"Good." Li Rulong laughed loudly. "That's right. I know you have gained a lot from fighting with the wolves. Strike while the iron is hot. Now let me see it for myself."

"If we can beat him, it will be a great benefit."

Li Ping'an's heart was slightly moved by the great benefits that the head of the Li family could talk about. Could it be... Thinking of that, he couldn't help but feel happy.

At this moment, the young general next to Li Rulong stood up, his momentum boosted, and he stared at Li Pingan with eager eyes.

"My name is Li Wei, Master Ping An, please give me some advice."

Li Wei!

Li Ping'an's eyes focused and he found the identity of this person from his memory. He was a warrior in the realm of divine power, a person from an outside family of the Li family, serving in the army and had quite a few achievements. He was also a good player in the realm of divine power. Now he was probably specially sent by the head of the Li family to verify his strength.

Not to mention defeating the opponent, being able to last for dozens of moves also shows that he is a genius. With a little training, he may be able to pass the assessment for outer disciples of the Yuhua Sect.

If this is not possible...

Li Rulong stood there with a calm expression, making it hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"start!"

Li Tianhai beside him shouted loudly.

Li Wei and Li Pingan moved at the same time. Zila!

The air exploded, and the two men instantly fought each other at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had exchanged dozens of moves.

Li Wei's punches were powerful, and he used the tough and domineering offensive style of a military strategist. Every punch and kick showed the murderous intent of the army. He was unparalleled in ferocity and bravery, but there were many changes hidden inside.

Although it is not the Li family's direct heirloom like the Bull Demon's Great Strength Fist, it is also a first-class martial art in the Mortal Dynasty.

Moreover, with his level of supernatural power, he could defeat a hundred people in the army. Leading a team to defeat the enemy and capture the bandits was no problem for him, and he did not hold back at all at this moment.

Li Wei's every move was fierce and powerful, and he exerted his divine power to the extreme. If a martial artist at the ordinary level were to deal with it, he would be knocked down in one move with this punch that contained a thousand pounds of divine power.

But Li Pingan remained calm inside and did not even open his genetic lock, relying on his own martial arts to deal with it.

The double fists coordinated with the Bull Demon's powerful fist moved around, interspersed between Li Wei's fists, often using the least force to break up his offensive by hitting and dispelling.

"it is good!"

Li Rulong, who was watching the fight, couldn't help but take action and nodded slightly.

Just looking at Li Ping'an's current performance is amazing enough. His physical realm has obviously not reached the realm of divine power, but he has superb attainments in the mysteries of the powerful Bull Demon Fist martial arts.

Rely on basic moves to fight against powerful warriors.

Having achieved this, Li Rulong was actually very satisfied. This level of martial arts attainment was enough for him to cultivate. With a little training, he would be able to break through the divine power, and then he would have a good chance of passing the assessment of outer disciples of the Yuhua Sect.

However, seeing that the fight between the two was still going on, he did not say anything to stop.

"Li Ping'an, I want to see how big a surprise you can give me if I can defeat him." Li Rulong's eyes were filled with heat, he could see that Li Ping'an must be hiding something.

It's almost a hundred moves now.

After making sure that the other party was capable of handling the situation with ease, Li Wei also spoke up.

"Master Ping An, be careful."

"Bloody battle in all directions."

He shouted loudly, and the muscles under his body bulged. With a little force, his tendons and bones made crackling sounds. His supernatural power was undoubtedly revealed, condensed into a bloody murderous aura.

That is the real skill of fighting your way through a huge army, and now it can be said that he is using all his strength.

"Well done!"

Li Ping'an shouted loudly, and instead of advancing, he retreated. His gene lock was activated, and he gathered all his strength. He looked like an ancient bull demon and attacked with his horns, carrying the aura of ancient barbarism.

"That is?!"

Li Rulong's eyes were shining, as if he had seen something incredible.

Both sides tried their best, and as their moves collided, the bluestone slabs beneath their feet were shattered into pieces.

Boom! Crack! Crack!

After the collision of moves, the two figures instantly retreated.

Deng Deng Deng!
Li Wei retreated a few steps and then stopped.

Li Ping'an retreated dozens of steps until the opponent was exhausted. Then he exhaled with a flushed face and regained his composure.

Barely resist.

He judged in his heart that a head-on collision would be far less effective. Even if his moves were superb and he had mastered the essence of the Bull Demon's Great Power Fist, divine power was still divine power. How could he be the match for someone who was twice as strong as him?

But the outcome of a life-and-death fight is uncertain. Defeating the strong with the weak and winning in danger are indeed the essence of the gene lock and must be tried.
