From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 106 Tianwu Mountain, Cangxuanwu

In their first encounter, Qin Wu suffered a great loss.

The opponent's strength far surpassed his own, leaving Qin Wu with a helpless expression.

However, he did not hesitate at all and immediately activated the Tiger Fiend Technique.

In just a moment, Qin Wu's power increased by another 30%.

"Again!" Qin Wu roared.

With a roar, Qin Wu charged at the burly man again without hesitation. However, instead of charging headlong into the enemy, he chose to engage in close combat using the "Dragon and Snake Entangling Hands" technique.

Almost instantly, Qin Wu had already rushed in front of the burly man, and the two exchanged blows. Qin Wu used his extremely skillful Dragon Snake Entanglement Hand technique, combined with the agility boosted by the White Ape Star Picking and White Ape Heavenly Gang Techniques, to engage in a fierce battle with the burly man.

Although the burly man looked like a strong, brute, he was actually quite fast and agile.

The two had exchanged dozens of blows in the blink of an eye, but with each clash, Qin Wu could feel the immense pressure that the burly man exerted on him.

Little did he know, the burly man opposite him was also becoming increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

Just as Qin Wu had guessed, he had already opened up the twelve major acupoints, entered the realm of true qi, and become a powerful expert in the initial stage of true qi.

That's why he possesses his current strength. But Qin Wu, standing opposite him, is someone he's quite certain whose cultivation level isn't even stable enough; he's merely a martial artist at the peak of the Mind Cultivation and Meridian Opening stage. Such a gap is definitely not something that can be easily bridged.

However, while Qin Wu is slightly inferior to him in terms of strength, that's all; he's not so much stronger than him that he can't be matched.

If it were any other expert at the initial stage of True Qi cultivation, they might even be inferior in terms of strength. After all, his strength already surpasses his combat power.

"Where did this little monster come from?"

He was horrified, but his hands didn't slow down at all; in fact, they sped up a bit more.

Although Qin Wu didn't know where the burly man in front of him came from or what his purpose was, since the two sides had already started fighting, he was prepared for a fight to the death and had no intention of holding back.

However, he realized that the strong man was stronger and faster than him, so winning was almost impossible.

In that case, to win, one must strike unexpectedly. And right now, the only thing he has that can do this is the Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist.

However, Qin Wu was in no hurry to use his skills, because he needed an excellent opportunity to achieve a decisive victory.

The burly man had a bold and unrestrained expression, and his attacks were wide and sweeping. His moves didn't seem to follow any set pattern, but they were extremely fast.

After fighting for a while, a cold glint flashed in Qin Wu's eyes, and he suddenly leaned forward. Seeing this, the burly man's expression remained unchanged. He immediately retreated, dodging Qin Wu's lean, and at the same time, threw a punch at Qin Wu's waist.

Qin Wu narrowly avoided the punch.

The burly man laughed and said, "You're quite strong, kid, but it seems you're finally about to give up, aren't you?"

The two had been fighting for a while, and Qin Wu had not shown any weakness. However, that punch just now was an undeniable flaw, which was enough to prove that Qin Wu's energy was not as good as before.

Qin Wu's expression remained unchanged; he simply launched another attack. This time, Qin Wu's fighting style appeared more aggressive, but in reality, he lacked the previous ferocity and his moves were primarily defensive. The burly man, on the other hand, acted in the opposite manner.

Just now, he seemed more interested in a protracted fight, but now he was focused on defeating Qin Wu quickly.

But little did they know that all of this was within Qin Wu's calculations. Just as the two had been locked in a fierce battle for more than a dozen moves, Qin Wu finally seized the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Just as the burly man charged forward, Qin Wu threw a backhand punch.

The moment he threw his punch, his blood and qi surged throughout his body, bursting through his twelve acupoints and transforming into true qi, simultaneously contorting his expression into an extremely ferocious one. In that instant, the burly man also realized something was wrong, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to retreat, but it was too late.

"Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist!"

With a furious roar from Qin Wu, the Dragon Elephant World-Suppressing Fist was unleashed. This punch was powerful and heavy, even imbued with true qi, distorting the air itself.

"What the hell?!"

The burly man cried out in surprise and quickly blocked the attack.

With a bang, he was sent flying.

Qin Wu did not pursue, but instead panted heavily, watching the burly man who had been smashed away.

Last time, the sword slave, who possessed the power of a sword master, was easily killed by this move. Although the burly man before him was likely much stronger than that sword slave, Qin Wu believed he should still be able to severely injure him.

So he didn't rush to leave, but wanted to see how things would end. After all, if he didn't find out why the burly man attacked him, he would live in constant fear. He understood the saying, "You can't guard against thieves forever."

Just as Qin Wu was watching anxiously, a loud laugh suddenly rang out, interspersed with a few coughs. Then, the burly man emerged from the rubble beneath the collapsed wall. He dusted himself off, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth, but showed no signs of weakness.

"Good lad!"

The burly man looked at Qin Wu with admiration, then said, "I am Cang Xuanwu from Tianwu Mountain. I came to Linshui City to recruit the next generation of disciples for my sect. I heard about your extermination of the Holy Infant Sect, so I came here specifically to test you."

"I never imagined that a little guy like you could possess such incredible strength. Such talent is perfectly suited to my Heavenly Martial Sect. How about joining my Heavenly Martial Mountain? As long as you're willing to join, you can choose any of the various martial arts techniques from my Heavenly Martial Mountain."

Cang Xuanwu looked at Qin Wu with fervent eyes.

Just kidding, such a monster is a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.

Since its founding, Tianwu Mountain has seen countless generations. But throughout history, there have been very few who could stand up to a powerhouse like him without even reaching the True Qi realm.

Now that Tianwu Mountain is in decline, if they can recruit such a genius to join them, they will surely be able to restore their prestige.

Then Tianwu Mountain will make a huge profit.

Thinking of this, his expression showed a hint of smugness.

Fortunately, he arrived first. If he had waited two months like the people from other sects, it would have been too late.

Qin Wu looked at him, his face full of astonishment.

He considered many possibilities, but this was the one he hadn't thought of.

So, it turns out this person came to recruit disciples. However, he frowned; he'd never heard of Tianwu Mountain before. He'd already inquired about the various sects in Linshui City. After all, they were a local power in Qianzhou, and they knew a thing or two about these True Qi sects. Judging from this, Tianwu Mountain probably wasn't a good place.

Qin Wu's expression immediately became hesitant.

Tianwu Mountain was the first sect to approach him. Although the person before him was a roughneck, there were advantages to being a roughneck. The fact that they were willing to send a roughneck to recruit disciples was enough to prove that Tianwu Mountain itself was not full of intrigue and backstabbing, and that interpersonal relationships were naturally much simpler.

But can Tianwu Mountain meet its own needs?
