(The Invincible)

(Episode 2: Apprenticeship)

(Fictional anime set in a fantasy world. Parental guidance for underage viewers.)

Young Master,

we took care of Xiangqu Sect's scout who escaped.

I'm sorry you have to experience that, Chief Cheng.

(Young Master of Hong Fortress) The Seven Family Alliance and Xiangqu Sect

have been eyeing Hong Fortress for a while.

(Cheng Zhengxing Triple Qi Blood)

Young Master Hong,

the cooperation your father suggested

was getting Yonghe Escort Agency to help your men infiltrate Feiye City

whenever we go out for escort missions.

I'm afraid

this might not be appropriate.

Father has always praised

Yonghe Escort Agency for operating in the Wilderness

and only relying on your escort agents to make a name for yourself.

You're also familiar with the routes in the Wilderness

like the back of your hand.

If the Hong Fortress collaborates with your escort agency,

it will undoubtedly strengthen your position.

I'm merely a martial artist. But I'm honored by Master Hong's praise.

The Seven Family Alliance has ruled Feiye City for decades.

Despite years of struggle, the Hong Fortress hasn't seen significant results.

Winning

won't be easy.

That's why

we need your assistance.

In Feiye City, the Seven Family Alliance,

the Warrior Alliance,

the Jiang family,

and the Guan family

have always suppressed Yonghe Escort Agency.

Don't you want to do anything about it?

My father has always found it unfair to you.

What to do next or what choices to make.

Chief Cheng, I hope you make a decision soon.

Don't hold yourself down.

Watch out! We're under attack!

Two experts at the Triple Blood level.

Hong Fortress indeed possesses formidable strength.

Could it be that the Seven Family Alliance has discovered my secret meeting with the Hong Fortress?

The Seven Family Alliance's scout, indeed.

How did they find out?

I'm afraid

Xiangqu Sect's scout has exposed my whereabouts.

Now that you were found out,

there's no turning back anymore.

Chief Cheng,

do you agree?

(Seven Family Alliance Army)

Charge!

Kill those scoundrels from Hong Fortress!

Attack!

Master promised

a hundred gold for each head.

(Juchi Legion)

They even deployed the Juchi Legion.

Get rid of them!

All of them are Triple Blood level experts.

The strength of Hong Fortress

is truly unpredictable.

Attack their lower bodies.

Between the Seven Family Alliance and Hong Fortress,

only one will survive to rule Feiye City.

Chief Cheng,

Father has long hoped

to work with Yonghe Escort Agency.

I'm sure

you won't disappoint him, right?

Yonghe Escort Agency will do its best to coordinate with the Hong Fortress.

Chief Cheng, you're indeed decisive.

Ha ha!

When Hong Fortress takes control of Feiye City,

the Three Great Families will hold the Cheng family in high regard without a doubt.

Thank you, Young Master.

I'll go back and make preparations.

Farewell.

Young Master,

why did you deliberately leak our whereabouts to the Seven Family Alliance?

Only by demonstrating absolute strength

can we pressure the old fox to take matters into his own hands.

Hey, beautiful.

Are you going home?

He he.

What's the hurry?

Biao misses you a lot.

Chen...

Chen Biao?

Get out of my way.

Chun will return soon.

I need to rush home to cook for her.

Pretty one, just come home with me.

Next time, you can just cook for me.

Let me go!

Please!

Let me go!

Help!

He!

Let my sister go!

Help!

Get lost now!

When Chun returns,

all three of you won't be able to escape!

He...

This kid is still alive.

Could it be

that Wei Chun is not dead yet?

Ying,

let's go home.

Chun mentioned

she had some matters to attend to in the gang.

She'll be back shortly.

We're almost home.

Stand right there!

Stop them!

Ying, I'll hold them off.

Quickly run home.

Chun will return soon.

We can wait for Chun to come back and...

Run!

Go!

Hey, beautiful.

Did you really think your little brother could protect you?

I'm going to get you for this!

Kid,

you're so weak.

Wei Chun would be ashamed.

You asked for it.

You brat!

You're done for today!

It stinks so bad.

We shouldn't have taken this shortcut through the slums.

Wei Chun is dead!

No one can protect you now.

I'll let you accompany your dead Chun!

Chun, she...

Don't hit him.

Don't hurt He.

Pin him down for me.

I want to slice off this mouth

that bites people!

(Jiang Su, Double Qi Blood)

(Cheng Shaojiu, Double Qi Blood)

(Jiang Yan, Double Qi Blood)

Don't harm He.

Ha ha!

I'll go with you!

Who dares to interfere with my affair?

Young Master Cheng,

this guy owes me a huge sum of money.

Instead of paying back, he still acts tough.

I'm just teaching him a lesson.

It's only fair to pay back debts.

Take your men and leave!

Yes, of course.

We're leaving now.

You'd better watch your mouth.

Junior Cheng,

it's not worth standing up for the people

in the slums.

Unintentionally,

I was moved by that kid's determination to protect his family.

Stop wasting time here.

Go back to the martial arts school.

They are disciples from the Huishan Martial Arts School?

Even the infamous Chen Biao fears them.

That school is the most powerful martial arts school in the Warrior Alliance.

I heard its founder, Master Zheng,

was invincible in Feiye City when he was young.

Was he that amazing?

I want to go and study under Master Zheng.

Huishan Martial Arts School?

He.

Ying, is your foot okay?

Does it hurt?

Chun...

Is Chun really gone?

Oh, Chun...

I promised Chun

to find our parents,

protect you from bullies,

and guard our Wei family.

(Laboratory)

The energy has reached a critical point.

Activating the technique for reinforcement.

Breaking through the realm threshold.

Realm Breaking Bead.

Warning!

Warning!

Realm Breaking Bead?

It's just as the dream had said,

it breaks through the martial arts realm.

Trying to figure it out on my own has been fruitless.

I should follow Chun's suggestion

(Huishan Martial Arts School) and go to Huishan Martial Arts School on her behalf.

(Huishan Martial Arts School)

Xiao Ran,

go and spar with your Third Senior.

(Zheng Fugui, Entering Force Zheng Qing, Double Qi Blood)

Let's see how much progress

you've made.

Junior Xiao,

please go easy on me.

(Xiao Ran, Double Qi Blood) I just reached Stoneskin level

and am not as good as you, Senior Cheng.

I hope you can teach me a thing or two.

I didn't expect Xiao Ran

to reach Stoneskin in just six months.

He reached Stoneskin in just six months?

This sets a record in the martial arts school, right?

But

Senior Cheng stayed in Stoneskin for almost three years.

In actual combat, Senior Cheng is stronger than Xiao Ran.

I'm afraid Xiao Ran's capability

is not inferior to Cheng Shaojiu.

It took two months to reach Bullskin

and six months to reach Stoneskin.

Is talent really more important than hard work?

It's him.

He just reached Stoneskin.

But the attack power is already so strong.

He's indeed an extraordinary talent.

Stoneskin?

It truly is Stoneskin.

He shattered the stones with one punch.

The Huishan Fist is indeed powerful.

I lost.

Junior Xiao, you're incredible indeed.

Senior Cheng,

thank you for letting me win.

Not bad.

You're making rapid progress.

I didn't expect that in just six months,

you would even surpass your Third Senior in actual combat.

Well done.

Keep progressing.

Once you master Stoneskin,

make a strong push

to break through to advance to Ironskin level.

Yes, Master.

Congratulations, Master.

Junior Xiao has exceptional talent.

Huishan Martial Arts School

will surely produce another Triple Blood Master.

Hopefully.

Master,

this person is seeking admission to study here.

I'm Wei He.

I request to be accepted as a disciple under Master Zheng.

Your aptitude is mediocre.

Even if you practice my Huishan Fist,

I'm afraid reaching the Bullskin level would be your limit.

I won't accept

your money. So, go back.

Although my aptitude is mediocre,

I'm willing to spend more time practicing than the others.

As long as you're willing to accept me as a disciple,

I will work hard

and not disappoint you.

This guy's aptitude is indeed not great.

But Father sure is cunning.

This kid looks familiar.

Master is just being responsible

by giving an honest assessment.

So, he doesn't hold unrealistic hopes.

That's not it.

Father probably thinks his money is too little.

I definitely won't let you down.

Please accept me.

Since you have the determination to practice diligently,

I'll make an exception

and accept you as my disciple.

I, Wei He,

pay my respects to you, Master.

From now on,

you're Huishan Martial Arts School's disciple.
