<h4>Chapter 1329: Chapter 1342: Martial Arts Restored</h4>


    As the words were spoken, someone was seen taking several more bites in quick session, with the sole purpose of quickly testing whether it was indeed possible to restore martial arts abilities.


    Chu Ge watched Zhao Li with curiosity and suddenly realized that he wasn’t as... irritating as initially perceived.


    Initially, Chu Ge was wary of him because he was inquiring about Ming Chong, andter because of the grudge between his master and Zhao Li’s master.


    But now, he even felt a slight urge to step forward and have a chat with him, though he eventually held back.


    After a while, someone suddenly spoke up, "I think I’m feeling some changes in my body."


    "What changes?"


    "Why haven’t I felt anything?"


    "Wait, let me feel it again."


    Chu Ge saw that person sitting cross-legged, beginning an Energy Transmission, and was engrossed in watching when he suddenly felt some changes in his own body.


    A warm current was gently flowing through his body.


    Chu Ge quickly sat cross-legged and began to slowly transmit energy, discovering that wherever the warm current flowed, it was filled with a sense of power.


    Finally, the warm current slowly flowed into his Dantian, making him feelpletely rejuvenated.


    His martial arts abilities began to gradually restore.


    Chu Ge never expected that he would benefit from a mishap, that this tiny Water Phoenix Fruit could unlock the sealing within their bodies.


    Everyone else felt the same and sat cross-legged to begin transmitting energy.


    Once Chu Ge felt adequately restored, he slowly opened his eyes.


    With the restoration of his martial arts abilities, even the scene before him seemed somewhat different.


    He could clearly see that above them was a semi-circr lid-like structure covering them, and he could see the fluctuation of spiritual power above it.


    Others gradually recovered too, standing up from the ground and stretching their muscles and bones.


    "I guess we’ve turned misfortune into fortune, right? Who would’ve thought this tiny fruit could unlock the sealing within us?"


    "We should thank little sister Ming Chong. Without her, we wouldn’t know what to do now."


    "That’s right, little sister, I was reckless just now. Please ept my apology and don’t hold it against this old uncle."


    The person who had almost fought with Ming Chong before looked at her with guilt. Despite knowing she was quite young, he had angrily quarreled with her, which was truly unbing of a man.


    Ming Chong didn’t ept his apology, coldly ncing at him without saying much, and then turned to stand by Chu Ge.


    Chu Ge chuckled softly and said to the man, "This child has been spoiled."


    The man smiled, "It’s alright, no worries."


    Just as everyone was restored and ready to use their martial arts to break open the barrier and rush out, they suddenly saw a group of people rushing down from the mountain.


    Jian Chunqiu and Chu Ge stepped forward, their eyes ring fiercely at them.


    Old Wang scratched his nose, chuckled, and stepped forward, "I didn’t expect you’d find the Water Phoenix Fruit and restore your martial arts so quickly. But it’s good this way; now that you’ve restored your martial arts, it won’t be said that we bullied you when word gets out."


    Chu Ge looked up at him, "Were you sent by Man Feng?"


    Old Wang stepped forward, one hand on his waist, the other scratching his head, "We are indeed under Man Feng’smand. Although I’m reluctant to admit it, it’s a fact. But I’ll also tell you straightforwardly—I’m here for your lives on my own ord."


    Hearing his brazen words, the people behind Chu Ge abruptly stepped forward, showing expressions of anger.


    "You’re asking for it! Daring to shamelessly im you’re here to take our lives!"


    Old Wang snorted lightly, "Do you really think consuming the Water Phoenix Fruit fully restored your martial arts? Sealing martial arts isn’t a trivial matter. Although sealed, you can only use 30% power now. I don’t fear facing people with only 30% martial arts power."


    Chu Ge squinted at this person. Although his build wasn’t particrly tall, his physique was sturdy, and the murderous intent in his eyes towards them was clearly evident.


    It was unexpected for Chu Ge; in the morning, Man Feng wanted to y games with them, intending to keep them for a few more days. But now, everything suddenly changed. There must be some unspeakable secret behind it.


    However, what that secret might be and why he changed his mind remained unknown.


    Old Wang brought quite a few people, three times their number, surrounding Chu Ge and hispanions. They all brandished weapons, but now that Chu Ge and the others had restored their martial arts, these weapons were rendered ineffectual against them.


    Seeing they were prepared, Chu Ge and hispanions also formed a defensive circle.


    "Even with only 30% power, we can still make you crawl like babies!"


    Someone among them sulkily sneered, as if to bolster their own morale.


    Old Wang chuckled softly, "Rest assured; I am a principled man and never bully others."


    As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand, pointing at Chu Ge, and said softly, "I want to..."


    As he spoke, his hand suddenly shifted direction, pointing at Zhao Li instead, and said, "I want to challenge you one-on-one."


    Chu Ge squinted his eyes and nced sideways at Zhao Li.


    Zhao Li stepped forward abruptly, his gaze fierce at Old Wang, as he drew therge de from his back, "I ept your challenge!"


    Old Wang’s lips curled into a sneer, "I’ve long heard yourrge de is renowned across the world. Coincidentally, I also wield therge de. Today, let’s see what you are made of!"


    As Old Wang said that, he was about to rush forward when suddenly a flurry of footsteps approached from behind. Old Wang turned to see Fang Lang, Man Feng’s proudest subordinate, leading a team hurriedly down.


    He squinted and stepped forward, looking at Fang Lang with some displeasure, "Why are you here? Did Man Feng change his mind again?"


    Fang Lang shook his head, "No, the boss didn’t. The boss was worried you couldn’t handle them, so he sent me to support you."


    Old Wang became angry at once, "I can’t handle them?"


    Damn it! That Man Feng really took the opportunity to throw shade!


    "I was just about to properlypete with these people. If you hadn’t interrupted, I would’ve taken them down in three moves!"


    Old Wang huffed coldly, damned Man Feng, daring to humiliate him like this! It’s infuriating!


    "Compete?" Fang Lang asked suspiciously, "The boss said to just kill them directly. Whypete?"


    Old Wang retorted coldly, "Since it’s a rare opportunity, I want to spar with Zhao Li first. I want to see what mystery lies in the Central ins’rge de that made the Old Pavilion Master so full of praise!"
