Chapter 27 The Change of Ye Jinglong

"Senior Brother Chen Cheng!"

Carrying the black-striped Tai Sui pork home, Chen Cheng suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

When he stopped and looked back, he saw a strong young man wearing outer courtyard clothes waving his arms behind him. After seeing him stop, he quickly caught up with a smile on his face.

"Senior Brother Chen, it's really you!"

"It's Liu Yu."

Chen Cheng came out and recognized it. This outer courtyard disciple was the only one he could say a few words in the outer courtyard. He used it to block the dust and airflow when Old Man Ma showed his hands.

"Senior brother still remembers me"

"I heard that Senior Brother Chen was accepted as a direct disciple by the master of the hall as soon as you entered the inner gate. Is this true?"

When Liu Yu saw Chen Cheng calling his name without any alienation on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief and then asked enthusiastically.

Chen Cheng nodded as he walked.

"How have you been practicing Gravel Boxing recently? We both came in at the same time, and there are less than two months left."

The excitement on Liu Yu's face dissipated a bit, and she smiled bitterly.

"I'm afraid I'm hanging. I always feel a little bit worse."

"None of our senior students from the previous class have made breakthroughs. I think you are the only one in this group."

The two of them were walking and talking. After walking for a while, Chen Cheng suddenly realized something.

"Why did you get here today? Don't you usually go back to the south of the city via the Blackwater Gang's territory?"

Liu Yu explained excitedly
"There is no more Blackwater Gang."

"Two months ago, Ye Jinglong from the Kuanglong Gang broke into the Blackwater Gang's headquarters alone and beat Duan Shuisheng, the leader of the Blackwater Gang, to death."

"Later, the Kuanglong Gang swallowed up all the territory of the Blackwater Gang."

"I heard that Ye Jinglong mastered the martial arts secrets on the unknown corpse. Recently, he has been fighting with several small gangs around him. The whole south of the city is in a mess. Some gangsters are obsessed with killing and don't even care about the martial arts school. clothes, so I always take a detour now.”

"Although it's far away, at least it's safe."

Chen Cheng didn't expect Liu Yu's detour to be related to him, so he pondered for a moment.

Qi and blood poured into his fingertips, he drew a strip of meat in his hand, and handed over a one-pound piece of black-striped Tai Sui meat.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"This is black-striped Tai Sui meat. It is used by inner courtyard disciples to replenish energy and blood when refining blood. It is a good help for practicing gravel fist."

"Take this piece of meat back, cook it and eat it, and then practice the gravel fist immediately. It should have some effect."

"This"

Liu Yu wanted to refuse, but looking at the piece of meat handed over by Chen Cheng, she couldn't help but reach out to take it.

In his eyes, this is not just a piece of meat, but also his hope of becoming a warrior and rising in class.

Taking the piece of meat with both hands, Liu Yu's eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and bent down at [-] degrees and bowed.

"Okay, let's go home quickly. The road is not easy to walk after dark."

Chen Cheng helped him up, patted his shoulder, and then left.

Liu Yu looked at Chen Cheng's back, stuffed the piece of meat into his arms and covered it, quickened his pace, and walked towards home.

"Has Ye Jinglong also mastered the Breaking Claw?"

While walking on the road, Chen Cheng was thinking about the news he had received from Liu Yu.

"But it's none of my business."

For him, a powerful warrior like Ye Jinglong could hit three with one punch. This news just went through his mind and was forgotten.A few days later, Chen Cheng came to the boxing gym again and stepped into the inner courtyard.

"Senior Brother Chen!"

Chen Cheng looked up and found that it was Liu Yu.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the previous anxiety on Liu Yu's face was gone, and it was full of sunshine and confidence. The clothes on her body had been changed from the previous uniform of the outer door to the inner door.

"Are you excited? Congratulations."

Liu Yu came to his side, his face full of gratitude
"Thanks to the piece of black-striped Tai Sui meat that my senior brother gave me last time. After I got home, I cooked it and ate it all. I felt hot all over after eating it."

"I remembered what you said before, senior brother, so I took another serving of Bone Tempering Powder, and then got up to practice the Stone Crushing Fist."

"My family was small and there was no place to practice, so I went to the alley and punched a ginkgo tree."

"I kept fighting until dawn, and when I reacted, I naturally broke through."

After talking about his experience, Liu Yu stared at Chen Cheng and gritted his teeth and said firmly

"If something happens to me in the future, senior brother, feel free to instruct me, even if you go up mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Chen Cheng waved his hand
"Don't say that anymore. Your ability to gain strength is all due to your own hard work. My flesh just happened to catch up. Since you have entered the inner sect, you'd better practice your boxing well. I'm going to find the master first. "

Chen Cheng patted his shoulder and walked towards Old Man Ma under the eaves.

Liu Yu clenched her fists, but her eyes became firmer.

In the evening, Chen Cheng left the boxing gym. There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and he saw Liu Yu following him.

"Are you still taking detours now? It stands to reason that you are more energetic now, so you shouldn't be afraid of people from the Kuanglong Gang."

Chen Cheng asked.

Liu Yu shook his head
"I have moved out from the south of the city."

"On the second day after I joined Jin, the owner of a chain inn came to visit me and signed me up as a temporary martial artist. I was given 60 taels per month. I only had to go there once every other day, and the rest of the time I stayed in the boxing gym to practice martial arts."

Chen Cheng nodded. Several people in the inner courtyard were like this, or this was the norm for temporary positions. Relaxed conditions like those of the Huang family were prepared for people with greater potential like him.

Some people feel that they can't learn anything in the boxing gym and feel that the cost is too high, so they leave the boxing gym to find their own way and become a full-time martial artist for a certain force.

"After I received the first month's post-employment fee, I rented a house nearby, near my senior brother."

"And the Mad Dragon Gang is nothing now."

Chen Cheng paused.

"What's wrong with the Kuanglong Gang? Didn't they say before that they helped Ye Jinglong learn the secret book of the unknown corpse and fight with other gangs?"

Liu Yu also stopped

"This is news from a few days ago. Just the night before, Ye Jinglong was rushed in and killed by unknown dirty things at the Kuanglong Gang's station. I heard that it was painful to death, and his hands were chewed clean. , only the bones remain.”

As he said this, Liu Yu thought of that scene and trembled with coldness.

"Both hands were chewed into bones?"

Chen Cheng's heart skipped a beat, wondering if this might be related to Ye Jinglong's practice of the Blade Breaking Claw.

Soon after, Chen Cheng and Liu Yu separated.

After returning home, Chen Cheng took out the secret book of the Blade-breaking Claw that he had obtained from the Blackwater Gang and looked through it carefully.

"There's no problem in the secret book. Could it be that I'm overthinking it?"

Just when he lowered his head to check the secret book, above his head, a black shadow crawled on the roof and slowly descended along the eaves. Outside the window, a black shadow gradually slid down.

Looking at the figure printed by the candlelight on the window paper, a pair of green vertical pupils were filled with hunger.
