Chapter 1 Martial Arts Evolution Tree

"Shaoxi, next month is the semi-annual star assessment meeting of the Shuwuguan. How are you preparing? If... if..." On the other side of the phone, Dad seemed to hesitate to speak.

"Dad, don't worry, I have made all the preparations for the star assessment meeting. I will definitely carry forward the Tianyangshu Martial Arts Hall, and you can rest assured. Don't talk about it. I'm back to the Shuwu Hall. Let's talk about it next time." .”

Lu Shaoxi hung up the phone in a hurry, feeling extremely irritable, because he didn't want his family to worry, every time he called his father he would report good news but not bad news. Heart Blood will close its doors next month, will it be so angry that it will no longer recognize his son?
The autumn night was already cool, Lu Shaoxi sighed helplessly, tightened his coat, and quickened his pace.Stepping on the yellow leaves all over the floor, Lu Shaoxi soon came to a bookstore with the sign of "Tianyang Martial Arts Bookstore".The bookstore doesn’t look too big, the wooden signboards are extremely delicate, the fonts are hand-carved, and the iron gate dyed vermilion seems to still tell the prosperity of the past, but the rust on the iron gate and the coldness of the door The yellow leaves reminded that the condition of this bookstore was not as good as before—this was the book martial arts hall he inherited from his father.

Lu Shaoxi took out the key and was about to open the door, but saw a piece of paper stuck in the crack of the door.

Looking at it under the dim light, I saw the words at the beginning of the piece of paper: "Mr. Lu, your bookstore is still in arrears of rent for three months..."

Lu Shaoxi didn't need to read it to know that he was asking for the rent of the venue.Alas, misfortunes never come singly.

He was originally a college student in the Department of Computer Science of Enshu University, but he deliberately applied for a one-year suspension of study in his junior year to inherit his father's book and martial arts gym. It has been almost a year now. Dad's dream.Unexpectedly, the business is getting worse and worse. By this month, I can't even make a living.A few days ago, I received an ultimatum from the Yinxiu Martial Arts Management Association. If the half-star rating cannot be passed at the star assessment meeting next month, this Tianyangshu martial arts hall must be forcibly closed.

But it's really not his fault, he has only been practicing martial arts for a year, and he doesn't have any good secrets of exercises, and he has made rapid progress to be able to practice the second level of body training.The problem is that in the hidden martial arts world, the strength of the second level of body training is really low and cannot be lowered.The Changfengshu Martial Arts Hall on the opposite street is only rated half a star, but its owner, Fatty Hu, has the fifth level of body training strength, which is far superior to him.

Lu Shaoxi opened the door of the library and martial arts hall, passed through the bookcases of all sizes, and returned to his small room of less than five square meters, and fell down on the bed tiredly.

But just as he was sticking to the bed, there was a sharp pain from the wound on his back. He couldn't help but screamed "Ouch", and sat up hastily, only then remembered that he still had injuries on his body.

With a bitter face, he took out the medicine box from under the bed to find the medicinal liquor and cotton, and took off his shirt, revealing his bruised upper body.

When the cotton with medicinal wine irritated the wound, Lu Shaoxi gritted his teeth and gritted his mouth.

"Damn Fatty Hu, just wait, one day I will give you back ten times the beating I received today!" Thinking of the culprit who caused these countless bruises, Lu Shaoxi clenched his fist unwillingly.

Today he went out to find a friend to borrow money, but his friend was not there, so he managed to borrow 20 yuan from a classmate he didn't know very well. On the way back, he ran into Fatty Hu from Changfengshu Martial Arts Hall. Uncleanly ridiculed, Lu Shaoxi was so young that he couldn't bear it, so he went to the Changfeng Book Martial Arts Hall to "compete" with him, but how could the second level of body training be the opponent of the fifth level of body training, so he was naturally beaten Falling flowers and flowing water, the whole body is wounded...

After finally wiping the bruises and wounds on his body with medicinal wine, Lu Shaoxi's drowsiness also disappeared.He casually ate a cup of instant noodles, then went back to the store in front, sorted out all kinds of martial arts books in the bookcase as usual, and wiped the dust on the bookcase.

This is a habit he has developed since he was a child. He has forgotten when he wiped these bookcases with his father.

The Longxia Continent in [-] A.D. has long been dominated by guns and other hot weapons, and even laser and electromagnetic weapons have begun to be used. Traditional martial arts seem to be an old story in the eyes of ordinary people. Wulin has always existed, but it is hidden in modern society, and ordinary people don't understand it at all.

This hidden martial arts is called "reclusive martial arts" by insiders. There are still countless martial arts sects. Especially with the combination of martial arts and technology, countless new martial arts have been developed. It is said that the powerful nine-rank martial arts practice At the highest level, it can easily split mountains and seas, and its power is not inferior to super missiles. The "Jing Wu Alliance" is the officially recognized management organization of the hidden martial arts. It not only has the right to equip relatively cutting-edge anti-warrior weapons, but also shoulders the responsibilities of managing these hidden martial arts families, resolving conflicts, and fighting against foreign martial arts experts. Hidden cultivation plays a vital role in the order of martial arts.In order to ensure the strength of the alliance, the Jingwu Alliance will continue to absorb outstanding martial artists in the hidden martial arts and grant them special ranks and permissions.The "Hidden Martial Arts Management Association" is an association-like organization set up by the "Jing Wu Alliance", and it is more responsible for the management of small and loose martial artists such as loose martial artists and book martial arts halls, including qualification certification, venue leasing, and small disputes. processing etc.

Shuwuguan is a hidden form of the continuation of the hidden martial arts sect in modern society.These venues are basically built by the Yinxiu Martial Arts Management Association and rented out to qualified martial arts practitioners.Generally, the front store sells martial arts books, and there will be a hidden and sealed place in the back as a martial arts dojo, which is used to accept apprentices and teach skills.

Why is there only a bookstore selling martial arts books in the front store?In fact, this is a default custom in the hidden martial arts. Selling books has the same pronunciation as "selling lose".

As soon as martial arts practitioners see that the store in front only sells martial arts books, they will know that this is a book and martial arts gym, and the owner of the hall is a fellow, so they will naturally come to the door to find out if there are any good secret books, or to ask for advice, or to learn from a teacher Learn art.In fact, selling high-priced secret books and collecting tuition fees from teachers are the main source of income for Shuwuguan.

There are [-] grades in total, ranging from half-star to nine-star. The higher the star rating, the more attention it receives from the Yinxiu Martial Arts Management Association. There are even special alliance allowances and subsidy funds to enjoy various privileges.

Lu Shaoxi's father, Lu Tie, is a martial idiot who is obsessed with martial arts. He came into contact with hidden martial arts by accident, and has since determined to become a martial arts expert.He has never met a master, but relying on a second-grade martial arts secret book and amazing perseverance, he has cultivated the strength of the nine-level energy-gathering, and established this "Tianyangshu Martial Arts Hall".Tian Yangshu Martial Arts School started from scratch, and in its heyday, it was rated as one and a half stars. There are more than a dozen named disciples in the gym, which can be described as a moment of glory.

But just a year ago, Lu Tie met a fierce and vicious enemy whom he had never met before in the two-star challenge competition. He was severely injured within a few strokes, his cultivation base was abolished, and he had to withdraw from hiding. After cultivating martial arts and returning to his hometown in the countryside to recuperate, his disciples scattered, and this Tianyangshu martial arts gym was passed on to his son Lu Shaoxi, who was still in the third year of university.

Because Lu Shaoxi was "restrained" by his mother who valued literature over martial arts since he was a child, he didn't get permission to practice martial arts until he took over the Tianyangshu Martial Arts Academy.As a result, when the half-year period came, troubles arose. According to the regulations of the Yinxiu Martial Arts Management Association, the Shuwuguan had to take a rating review meeting every six months. Lu Shaoxi bit the bullet and went to attend, but with his half-baked strength, how could he pass? After re-examination, the star rating of Tianyangshu Martial Arts Hall was directly cleared. Recently, the Yuanzhou Branch of the Hidden Martial Arts Management Association sent an ultimatum letter. If you can't pass successfully, the Yangshu Martial Art Museum will be revoked the opening permit and will be closed forcibly...

"Alright, I can't make it any longer anyway, so I might as well buy these books at a discount at a loss and pay off the debt..."

Lu Shaoxi looked at the hundreds of martial arts secret books in those bookcases with reluctance. Almost all of these martial arts secret books were collected by his father after spending many years everywhere. There are also a few first-grade secret books in it, but these rare books are priced at over ten thousand, and ordinary people don't care about them at all, and when monks come to look for books, they don't look down on this mere first-grade secret book, so the business of Lu Shaoxi's bookstore is really slow. .Later, he had to buy a large number of popular health-preserving martial arts books such as "Secrets of Taijiquan", "Learning Xingyiquan from Zero", "Health-preserving Baduanjin", etc., but he couldn't compete with major e-commerce discounts. The coupons also include delivery of books to the door, and only a handful of books have been sold in the past six months.

Thinking of the rent owed to the Management Association for three months, more than 9000 yuan per month, which is almost [-] yuan, I can only sell all these secret books at a discount, repay the debt, and then close this martial arts gym. Go back to school to study, and in the future, after graduation, I will honestly find a job and become a wage earner...

For this almost foreseeable future, Lu Shaoxi was helpless but had no choice. He leaned on the bookcase and sighed long.

Suddenly, I felt a shock behind me, and the bookcase seemed to shake a few times, huh?earthquake?Lu Shaoxi jumped up all of a sudden.

Strangely, the ground didn't shake. He looked at the bookcase again, and unexpectedly found that it was the bookcase shaking, and the amplitude of the vibration was getting bigger and bigger. The secret books in the bookcase were shaken and fell down one after another.

what happened?

Lu Shaoxi hurriedly pressed the bookcase, and felt the vibration coming from the bottom of the bookcase. He looked down and saw a thick black book in the far corner of the bookcase bouncing up and down like a restless beast, hitting the whole bookcase with it. Shake up.

Hey, isn't this the book that the weird old man gave you?Why does this book jump by itself?Wouldn't he be a ghost?

Lu Shaoxi accidentally helped an old man yesterday. After looking at him for a while, the old man said that he would become a great weapon in the future, and insisted on selling him a thick black book for 5 yuan, saying that he was from The magical secret book that flew from different time and space contains shocking secrets.

At that time, Lu Shaoxi saw that, except for the five words "Martial Arts Evolution Tree" on the cover, the contents of the book were all incomprehensible gibberish.He didn't want such a broken book at all, but he was so entangled by the old man that he couldn't help it, so he had to pay 5 yuan for dinner to buy it. Throwing it casually to the bottom of the bookcase, who would have thought that this strange book would jump around by itself now?
Fortunately, Lu Shaoxi has always been bold. Seeing the black book jumping like this, the whole bookcase would be broken by it, so he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to hold the black book.Unexpectedly, the moment his hand touched the black book, the black book suddenly emitted a strong light, which hurt Lu Shaoxi's eyes.

"Ding! Found a suitable host candidate, and the martial arts evolution tree system is about to attach!"

Accompanied by a cold mechanical sound, the light enveloped Lu Shaoxi in an instant.Before Lu Shaoxi could react, he felt that something had penetrated into his mind and merged with his brain. The severe pain caused Lu Shaoxi to faint...
