At this moment, she recalled the matter from three days ago when William Grant had asked her to buy medicinal herbs. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her heart stirred.

Could it be...

“Tian’er, the changes in you—are they because of those herbs you asked me to buy last time?”

Grace Thompson voiced her doubts.

“Yes, Mother.”

William Grant nodded.

“You made the medicine yourself?”

Grace Thompson asked curiously.

William Grant nodded again.

“Tian’er, what kind of medicine did you make? And when did you learn how to make medicine?”

Grace Thompson took a deep breath.

William Grant felt a slight stir in his heart.

The matter of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor was simply too astonishing.

Besides, it involved his previous life, which was hard to explain.

“Mother, after I was seriously injured and fell unconscious by Andrew Thompson last time, I had a strange dream. In the dream, I met an old man who taught me a recipe for a medicinal liquid.”

He casually made up an excuse.

As he spoke, William Grant mentioned the “Seven Treasures Body-Tempering Liquid,” including its specific effects.

“It can increase the cultivation speed of Body Tempering Realm martial artists?”

Grace Thompson was shocked.

She had never heard of any medicinal liquid that could enhance the cultivation speed at the Body Tempering Realm, especially one that required such common herbs.

She could sense that this recipe was extraordinary.

As far as she knew, there were indeed pills that could boost Body Tempering Realm cultivation speed, but only certified alchemists could refine them, and the required herbs were extremely expensive—ordinary people simply couldn’t afford them.

“Tian’er, you must never tell anyone else about this recipe.”

Realizing the value of the recipe, Grace Thompson immediately thought of protecting her son, her expression grave as she warned him.

“Mother, I know. I’ve only told you.”

William Grant said with a smile.

An orphan in his previous life, he truly cherished the motherly love he had in this one.

“Good child.”

Grace Thompson also smiled, her beauty radiant, enough to put flowers and the moon to shame.

“Tian’er, now that you’ve reached the first level of the Body Tempering Realm, you can go to the family’s Martial Pavilion to choose a martial art.”

“Okay, Mother, I’ll go have a look.”

Although the memories of the Reincarnation Martial Emperor contained no shortage of martial arts, he still planned to go and take a look, just for appearances...

The Martial Pavilion was where the Li family stored their martial arts techniques. It was extremely important and was always guarded by an elder in person.

“Fifth Elder.”

After arriving at the Martial Pavilion, William Grant gave a slight bow to the elder at the entrance.

“William Grant?”

The Fifth Elder, David Thompson, was a bit surprised to see William Grant.

“You... have you reached the first level of the Body Tempering Realm?”

When he noticed the changes in William Grant, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

William Grant smiled and nodded.

“Now your mother can finally be at ease. Alright, go on in and choose any martial art you like.”

David Thompson said with a smile.

He had a good relationship with the Ninth Elder, Grace Thompson.

Acknowledging him, William Grant walked into the Martial Pavilion.

“William Grant has reached the first level of the Body Tempering Realm?”

A few young men who had just arrived at the Martial Pavilion looked at each other in astonishment.

To them, William Grant reaching the first level of the Body Tempering Realm was as shocking as seeing a sow climb a tree or a cow fly.

After entering the Martial Pavilion, William Grant began to browse through the martial arts techniques inside...

In the end, he found that the Li family’s martial arts were all quite ordinary.

These low- and mid-tier Yellow Grade martial arts, in his eyes, couldn’t even compare to the Xingyi Fist he had practiced in his previous life, not to mention the military boxing techniques.

“In this world, people’s bodies are strong, and their Yuan Force is stronger than the internal energy of my previous life, but the martial arts themselves are simply unbearable to look at... There’s no need for me to waste time on these techniques. With Xingyi Fist, I have more than enough.”

William Grant’s Xingyi Fist had reached the level of a grandmaster, surpassing even the master who had taught him in his previous life.

With that thought, he left the Martial Pavilion.

“What’s wrong, didn’t find anything suitable?”

The Fifth Elder, David Thompson, looked puzzled when he saw William Grant come out empty-handed.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

William Grant nodded.

“Pfft!”

Suddenly, a mocking laugh reached William Grant’s ears.

“So, William Grant, you look down on the martial arts in our Li family’s Martial Pavilion, huh? I’m really curious—just what kind of martial arts has your mother secretly taught you to make you so arrogant? William Grant, I heard you’ve reached the first level of the Body Tempering Realm. How about sparring with me for a few moves?”

The voice was laced with sarcasm.

William Grant looked up.

Only then did he notice—

At some point, Andrew Thompson had also arrived at the Martial Pavilion, bruises still on his cheeks, looking at him provocatively.

“Oh, I was wondering who it was. So it’s you. Tsk tsk... does your face still hurt?”

Facing Andrew Thompson’s provocation, William Grant didn’t get angry but instead smiled.

“William Grant, I challenge you! Let the Fifth Elder be our witness—do you dare accept?”

Andrew Thompson took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

What had happened three days ago was, for him, an unbearable humiliation.

For the past three days, all he had wanted was revenge!

Today, when he heard that William Grant had reached the first level of the Body Tempering Realm, he rushed over immediately.

In his view, now that William Grant was a martial artist, if he were to be seriously injured in an official sparring match, according to family rules, even if William Grant’s mother was furious, she would have no choice but to swallow her anger.

Of course, that was only if William Grant accepted his challenge.
