The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 5 Martial Arts Hall

In the martial arts hall, Fang Xun's figure slowly emerged, with a thoughtful look on his face, and his previously anxious mood gradually calmed down.

Mei Niansheng, from "The Untold Story".

In terms of martial arts, he is firmly in the top three of the original novel as he has mastered the "Shen Zhao Jing". In terms of character, he can be regarded as a well-deserved upright hero.

It’s a pity that he didn’t know how to judge people and accepted three unworthy disciples.

Mei Niansheng was ambushed by three disciples who coveted the treasure mentioned in "Tang Poetry Sword Technique", but he remained merciful at the critical moment and finally died tragically.

Fang Xun had benefited a lot from Mei Niansheng's instruction just now, and was also directly taught the "Shenzhao Jing".

Standing in the empty training ground, Fang Xun was filled with emotion for a moment.

The Martial Arts Hall is the foundation of Fang Xun's existence in this world. It can conjure up martial arts figures from previous lives for him to challenge.

The six gates correspond to six realms, and currently there are only people in the acquired realm.

After defeating or killing the opponent, you can obtain essence and some items.

Like Wei Xiaobao, after Fang Xun defeated him, he got the black armor vest that saved his life before, as well as a flintlock rifle and a bottle of corpse powder.

After absorbing the essence, you can get an all-round improvement in your bones, comprehension, physique, internal strength and other aspects.

Only after defeating the previous character will the next character appear.

Before today, Fang Xun wanted to use the most superior foundation-building method to break into the acquired realm naturally, so he only absorbed the essence of Wei Xiaobao who had not practiced internal energy.

After absorbing the essence, not only did his bones and comprehension improve significantly, but his physical strength was also greatly enhanced, making outsiders think that he was born with supernatural powers.

Although these martial arts characters in the martial arts hall are all created by illusion, they have their own thoughts, personalities, and preferences, and are not cold NPCs.

The four characters before Mei Niansheng are Wei Xiaobao, Ping Yizhi, Lu Qingdu, and Nalan Yuanshu.

The first three were all easily defeated by Fang Xun at one time, but he was stuck with Nalan Yuanshu.

Nalan Yuanshu is a man of external strength. Although he did not practice internal strength due to environmental restrictions during his lifetime, he is strong enough to defeat Xu Qing, who is at the eleventh level of acquired internal strength. At first, Fang Xun could only be abused.

However, he and Nalan Yuanshu got along quite well, as the other party was an official appointed by the court and also a martial arts fanatic.

After being transformed into a phantom, he let go of everything in his life and has been instructing himself without reservation, just hoping to have a good fight.

After being tortured and killed countless times by Nalan Yuanshu, Fang Xun finally got what he wanted.

After a while, Fang Xun collected his thoughts and mentally left the martial arts hall.

Sitting cross-legged in the backyard of his home, he silently recited this sentence in his heart.

"Absorb Nalan Yuanshu's essence and martial arts memory and insights."

In an instant, a warm current emerged from the body and flowed into every part of his body, accompanied by Nalan Yuanshu's lifelong insights into martial arts.

A new mantra of mental method flowed through his mind, and the practice route of Quanzhen internal energy gradually turned to "Shenzhaojing", and his momentum continued to rise.

The "Shenzhaojing" not only contains profound internal energy, but also can help one achieve the state of meditation by practicing both internal and external skills. It is also an excellent tool for treating injuries.

Although the claim that Ding Dian has the ability to bring the dead back to life in the original novel may just be an exaggeration, the fact that Di Yun, who was almost dead after hanging himself, was brought back to life by Ding Dian shows how magical Ding Dian is.

Nalan Yuanshu was much stronger than the first three characters whose martial arts skills were mediocre. It took a full half hour for his essence to be completely absorbed by Fang Xun.

At this point, Fang Xun once again completely opened up one of the eight extraordinary meridians and broke into the fifth level of the acquired realm. All of his internal energy was converted into the internal energy cultivated by the Shen Zhao Jing. At this time, Fang Xun was still practicing. Every time the internal energy circulated through the heavens, the strength increased by one point. Every part of his limbs and bones had a surge of spiritual strength and was full of strength.

Time passed gradually, the night passed and the sun rose high in the sky. Fang Xun continued to work hard and broke through the sixth level of the acquired realm.

After consolidating for a while, he slowly stopped practicing, opened his eyes and exhaled heavily.

I stood up and stretched, and my whole body made a crackling sound, but immediately my internal organs began to protest.

“Gu—”

Rubbing his stomach, Fang Xun looked at the big sun in the sky. It was already noon the next day.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came into my ears along with the sound of footsteps.

"Tsk, Brother Xun is amazing. He hasn't even entered the post-natal stage yet, but he killed Xu Qing with his stick technique. It's really impressive. Now the whole streets and alleys of Sanshui County are discussing your name, Brother Xun."

The sound came from far away, and a tall figure slowly walked into the backyard and entered Fang Xun's sight.

The man was wearing a brown round-necked robe and looked to be around forty or fifty years old. The gray hair on his temples and a few wrinkles on his face still showed the elegance and grace of his youth. He was holding a food box in his left hand.

It was Wei Lin, the mentor who raised Fang Xun since childhood, who looked at Fang Xun with a teasing expression.

"Master, you come to bury me too"

Fang Xun couldn't help but look slightly embarrassed when he heard the other party's teasing tone.

"Don't you know how much I weigh? Xu Qing was just drugged by me and his muscles and bones were weak, so I took advantage of him."

While Fang Xun was talking, Wei Lin also walked up to him, put the food box on the ground with his left hand, and played with two gold-painted iron balls in his thick right hand.

Each iron ball weighs about thirty pounds, but in Wei Lin's hands they are extremely nimble and light. This would be impossible without strong finger strength.

After looking at his apprentice from head to toe for a while, Wei Lin smiled and praised him.

"That's right. I was worried that you would become arrogant after using low-level means to kill Xu Qing. Now it seems that you are still very sober."

After praising him, Wei Lin changed the subject again.

"But some self-defense methods are also indispensable. In times of crisis, don't worry about the moral code of the underworld. Your own life is the most important."

Fang Xun listened to his master's admonition. Although the other party's tone was light, it also made him feel a little warm in his heart.

After eighteen years of living together day and night, he knew the other person too well. He must have been very worried in his heart before, but he just didn't show it on his face.

But Fang Xun had no intention of telling Wei Lin the truth. Too many people at the scene saw him, a young boy with less than 10 years of acquired proficiency, crush Xu Qing with such force.

Even if he said it was natural supernatural power or external energy, it was still a little unbelievable, so he might as well just use some low-grade drugs to explain it off.

At that time, he killed Xu Qing so quickly that the warriors watching the fight could not figure out any tricks. It was very appropriate for him to use drugs to cover up his abnormality.

Wei Lin also knew that Fang Xun often tinkered with these things for self-defense, but considering Fang Xun's diligence in practicing martial arts, he did not object.

As an old hand at the underworld, he understands very well how dangerous the underworld is. These low-class methods that ordinary people despise can save lives at critical moments.

At this moment, Fang Xun suddenly remembered something and immediately took out the mysterious account book he got last night and handed it to Wei Lin.

"Master, this is what I found on Xu Qing. Did you also find something unusual on Hutou Mountain?"
