Gao Wu: My martial arts training relies solely on hard work

Chapter 24 Doubt

When Zhao Xuan returned to his residence, he saw a figure standing in front of the house from a distance, covered with snow, like a snowman.

Judging from his appearance, it was Luo Jin, the fat little man whom he hadn't seen for a while.

Zhao Xuan looked weird. It's snowing. Why are you pretending to be an infatuated man and resentful woman when you come to my door?

When Luo Jin saw Zhao Xuan, he looked extremely disappointed and called out: "Junior brother."

Zhao Xuan's goosebumps fell all over the floor, and he said quickly: "Senior brother, if you have something to say, please speak it out."

Luo Jin sighed heavily: "Hu Mingkui is back."

Hu Mingkui, the eldest young master of the Hu family, is highly talented in martial arts.

He practiced martial arts at the age of twelve, entered the inner court at the age of fifteen, and ranked third in the seventeen county examinations. He went to Fucheng alone to study for three years in preparation for the government examination.

Under Luo Jin's repeated description, Zhao Xuan knew it by heart.

But that's not right. You have been fighting against the Hu family for three months, so you wouldn't be scared like this.

unless……

"Did he find you?"

Luo Jin smiled bitterly: "He asked me to meet and then defeated me with one move."

Zhao Xuan suddenly realized.

No wonder the little fat man looked so dead. It turned out that he was defeated by someone and lost his Taoist heart.

I just don’t know who is stronger or weaker compared to Hu Mingkui now?
With the power of nine oxen and the body of copper skin, one attack and one defense, even if you can't win, you shouldn't lose too badly.

What's more, he still has five years of skills left.

Maybe we can get even with the other party.

He suddenly remembered and asked, "So you admit defeat?"

The question was about peace talks with the Hu family.

Luo Jin closed his eyes: "My skills are inferior to others, so what can I do?"

Zhao Xuan was silent.

If you can't win again and again, what if you don't admit defeat?
"Have you met all three conditions?"

Luo Jin jumped up and said: "No, Hu Mingkui said that the Hu family's guard probably did not die at my hands, and he is willing to intercede with the family on my behalf."

"Three conditions were changed to two. One is to compensate 150 silver. Considering that I can't raise that much at once, I can pay it back in three years."

"Second, after the Spring Festival, let me fully assist the Hu family in tracking down the real culprit."

It was about reputation, no wonder he was excited.

If others knew that he kowtowed to the Hu family to apologize, how could he still hang out in Gucheng County?
After saying that, he couldn't help but praise: "Hu Mingkui is a man of justice and worthy of friendship."

Zhao Xuan was instantly amused.

Rather than saying it's worth handing over, it's better to say it's a good one.

As soon as he made a move, he turned the tide. He not only solved the little fat man that the Hu family had been unable to deal with for several months, but also earned the Hu family face and respect.

He also asked the little fat man to be grateful and willing to be driven by the Hu family.

The rank is much higher than that of Little Fatty.

Apart from it sounds nice, is there really a big difference between helping to track down the real murderer and being a bodyguard?
"Then why did senior brother come to see me so hurriedly?"

"Hu Mingkui said that the real culprit may be someone I know well. You have always been smart. I hope you will help me track down it after the year."

After Luo Jin finished speaking, he stared at Zhao Xuan closely.

Zhao Xuan responded without hesitation: "Okay."

The suspicion in Luo Jin's eyes faded away, and he felt relieved.

Zhao Xuan asked: "After spring, will senior brother still take part in the county examination?"

Luo Jin replied affirmatively: "Of course I will participate. I am [-]% sure about this county examination."

Zhao Xuan took the opportunity to ask: "It just so happens that junior brother is very interested and asked for advice."

He originally wanted to ask after spring.

But the little fat man already doubted him.

After the Spring Festival, as the investigation begins, the suspicion on him will only grow.

With his strength, he couldn't hide it even if he tried it with two people.

Even if you don't fight back, it's still obvious that others can't break your defense.

When the time comes, there will be no excuses.

It's better to find out everything you want to know sooner.

Luo Jin knew everything he knew.Four subjects in the county examination.

In the first section of the strength test, those whose one-arm strength is less than [-] kilograms will be eliminated directly.

Those weighing more than [-] pounds are ranked according to high and low.

The first 41 are grade A, [-] to [-] are grade B, [-] to [-] are grade C, and [-] to [-] are grade D.

Grade A is worth five points, grade B is worth three points, grade C is worth two points, and grade D is worth one point.

The second subject of archery is based on [-] meters, and those who hit less than seven out of ten shots will be eliminated.

Those who hit ten out of ten shots can extend the shooting range.

The results are ranked based on shooting distance and hit rate, and the rankings are divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D.

The third subject, riding skills, is limited to three sticks of incense. Riding horses around the city for three times is considered qualified. Those who exceed the time limit will be eliminated.

Ranking in order of arrival, divided into four categories: A, B, C and D.

At the end of the three events, those with a cumulative score of less than seven points will be eliminated.

Only those with a score of seven or above are eligible to participate in the fourth subject, the practical subject.

That is, all the candidates are divided into groups and fight against each other. The winner is promoted and the loser is eliminated until the top thirty are selected.

Zhao Xuan was calculating in his mind.

In the dynamo test, he has the strength of nine oxen, and he has no problem getting first place.

In the subject of archery, he has perfect basic archery skills. Not to mention first place, there is no problem in being in the top ten.

The problem is his riding skills. He stays in the martial arts academy every day to practice martial arts and rarely rides horses. He should not be good at it.

However, the county examination must start at least after the Lantern Festival. He starts practicing from now on. With his talent, he does not want to be in the top ten, and he will definitely pass.

The final battle department.

Zhao Xuan thinks the problem is not big.

In previous years, there were people who practiced bull strength and achieved the strength of a bull and ranked in the top thirty.

With all his strength, there is no way he can't squeeze in.

After asking about the county examination, Zhao Xuan began to ask Luo Jin about Yijin Realm.

It is recorded in the book that the characteristic of the Yijin state is that "the fascia is like a spring and can stretch and contract freely."

But Man Niu Jin repeated those moves, all of which were for big muscle strength, and there was no fascia training part at all.

After hearing this, Luo Jin laughed loudly: "Junior brother, how can you achieve the Yijin realm with a low-level hard martial arts like Man Niu Jin?"

"It's normal that your realm is low and you don't understand. If you want to practice Yijin realm, you need to enter the first-class body technique."

"But you don't have to worry. When you reach the dermabrasion realm, you can apply to enter the inner courtyard. There are first-class body skills for you to choose from in the inner courtyard."

Zhao Xuan thought of the Buruiu Sound Wave Kung Fu he had just learned, and asked: "There are levels of Kung Fu? I don't know how many levels it is divided into?"

Luo Jin explained: "As far as I know, there are two levels: entering the flow and entering the flow."

"The martial arts are divided into first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate. At most, the martial arts skills are only third-rate. If you want to be higher, you have to go to Fucheng."

"You remind me that when Hu Mingkui ranked third in the county examination, the county magistrate rewarded him with a second-rate Kung Fu book."

"Since he can defeat me with one move, I think he has already mastered it and entered the bone forging realm."

Zhao Xuan originally wanted to apply for the examination to enter the inner courtyard, practice a third-rate Kung Fu book, and continue to improve himself.

Hearing this, he immediately gave up the idea.

According to Luo Jin, if you do well in the county examination, the county lord will reward you with better second-rate skills.

It's less than a month before the county exam, why is he bothering with the third-rate?
It's better to get it right in one step and practice second-rate directly.

Anyway, with his talent, the stronger the technique he practices, the more advantage he will get.

After bidding farewell to Luo Jin, Zhao Xuan went to the West Market. He wanted to rent a horse and practice equestrian skills.

……

on the way back.

Hu Mingkui's words suddenly came to Luo Jin's mind.

He stopped suddenly. Why did Junior Brother Zhao ask so many questions that had nothing to do with him today?

Is it?

He turned around and looked at Zhao Xuan's residence, and a bold idea came to his mind.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.
