Start from the Martial Arts

Fang Xiu followed the warrior into the door.

Twenty or so apprentices were scattered in the practice square in the front yard.

Some people are punching boxing stakes, some are poking wall bricks with their fingers, and others are dancing and moving on the wooden stakes of different lengths in the middle of the yard. Their figures are extremely elegant and dazzling.

It feels like watching an early Kung Fu movie.

When the warrior who led the way saw Fang Xiu stop, he didn't urge him. After a while, he warned him.

"Go to the backyard to meet the senior brother first."

"Okay!" Fang Xiu couldn't wait.

He followed the warrior through the front yard, and a long corridor appeared in front of him. After passing the long corridor, he came to a back garden.

There are four martial artists practicing in the garden. One of them is wearing black training trousers and is shirtless in the winter.

The other three people, two men and one woman, were all well-dressed and obviously either rich or noble.

The kung fu of these people was obviously more advanced, and when they took action, explosions continued to be heard in the air.

The warrior who led the way came to the garden and saluted respectfully to the shirtless man: "Senior Brother, there is an apprentice here to worship."

As he spoke, he tugged on Fang Xiu's sleeve, "This is Li Shan, the senior brother of our martial arts school. He is a martial artist! Salute quickly!"

"I've met Martial Master Li." Fang Xiu said respectfully.

The four realms of martial arts include skin grinding, meat refining, tendon refining, and bone forging. Only those who have broken through the tendons and developed strong strength can be called martial arts masters.

Martial arts masters are already considered important figures in Qingshi County, and the leader of the Qian Gang is a Yi Jin martial arts master.

Li Shan has strong features and a pair of eyebrows that are so thick that they almost grow into a unibrow. He glanced at the word "prison" in the middle of Fang Xiuzao's uniform, and his upper body was steaming: "From the Yamen?"

"The county jailer is resting and has come to learn from his master."

Fang Xiu took out his money bag.

Li Shan looked at the silver inside, bumped it with his hand, nodded and said: "Our martial arts school is famous for its Thunder Fist, Ice Palm, and Wind Kick, which are known as the three unique skills.

No matter which martial arts you learn, you will get five taels of silver a month, including food, accommodation, and decoction.

You first come with me to pay homage to the portrait of the ancestor, and you will be officially introduced. "

Fang Xiu was a little stunned. Training in martial arts was very expensive. If he hadn't gotten eight taels of silver from Dou Shouli, he would have only been able to practice for a month.

Fang Xiu followed Li Shan out of the back garden and went to the study room in the backyard. He kowtowed three times to the founder, "Old Man Sanjue", and that was when he was officially admitted.

"Master has gone to Fucheng and won't be back for a while. It's too late today. Come to the front yard before tomorrow's time and I will teach you the basic training methods. Gao Sheng, take Junior Brother Fang around."

Li Shan took Fang Xiu back to the back garden, handed him over to the warrior who had just led the way, and then continued to guide the three people in the back garden.

Except for glancing at Fang Xiu at first, the three of them paid no attention to him, and Li Shan had no intention of introducing him.

"Yes! Senior brother." Gao Sheng stepped back respectfully and took Fang Xiu away.

After leaving the back garden, Gao Sheng raised his horse face and said with dignity: "Junior Brother Fang, I am ranked seventh among the disciples in the martial arts school. From now on, you can just call me Senior Brother Seven or Senior Brother Gao."

"I've met Senior Brother Gao, please take care of me." Fang Xiu said with a smile, took out two large copper coins from his arms and gave them to Gao Sheng.

One big coin is equal to ten small copper coins, and two big coins are enough to buy a roast chicken.

"It should, it should." A smile appeared on Gao Sheng's face, and he led Fang Xiu to a courtyard to the west. Inside the open room was a large shop.

"By the way, Junior Brother Fang, you usually live in your own home, right?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Gao." Fang Xiu frowned. The room reeked of foot odor and sweat. He had a place to live, so naturally he didn't want to live in such a place.

"What about eating? Can you handle it yourself?" Gao Sheng asked again.

"The food in the martial arts studio is okay. There is meat every day."

"Let's eat at the martial arts studio." Fang Xiu responded. He could only make egg fried rice and was not luxurious enough to go out to a restaurant.

"The accommodation fee in our martial arts school is two silver coins a month, and the food fee is five silver coins a month. Since you don't live in the martial arts hall, I will tell senior brother later and refund you two silver coins." Gao Sheng Nod.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Gao." Fang Xiu clasped his fists. It seemed that the two big coins just now had an effect, otherwise Gao Sheng might not have told him.

Two pieces of silver were enough for his salary for a month.

It's really profitable to open a martial arts school. Such a shabby shop only charges two qian a month.

"Okay, I'll take you to get your training uniform and meal pass first. From now on, you can use your meal pass to get food from the canteen... Of course, you can also eat out if you have money."

Gao Sheng said as he walked, and took Fang Xiu to the warehouse to get a thin black training jacket and trousers.

Seeing the bulging cotton clothes exposed under Fang Xiuzao's uniform, Gao Sheng smiled and said: "When Junior Brother Fang passes the test and becomes a true warrior, you won't be so afraid of the cold in winter in the future."

"I wonder what level of martial artist Senior Brother Gao is now?" Fang Xiu asked curiously.

"I just broke through the flesh barrier a few days ago, and now I am in the flesh refining realm." Gao Sheng was quite proud, "I have been practicing martial arts for less than three years, and even my senior brother said that I have hope of becoming a martial artist."

"It turns out that Senior Brother Gao is so powerful, I'm so disrespectful!" Fang Xiu was very applauded and showed an expression of admiration.

"Since it happened to be mentioned, let me say a few more words." Gao Sheng was very satisfied with Fang Xiu's attitude. He walked to the courtyard and stood in front of a stone table. He picked up the stone table with both hands and lifted it up suddenly. Overhead.

"When you break through the skin level, finish grinding the skin, and your arm strength reaches 200 jin, you should be able to lift this stone table."

"You can only have 200 jin of arm strength after finishing grinding the skin?" Fang Xiu nodded.

It seems that the effect of [Strong and Strong] fate is stronger than he expected, which can make him have the strength comparable to that of a warrior in the skin grinding level without training.

In this way, when he breaks through the level and becomes a formal warrior, he should be much stronger than warriors of the same level.

If a fight breaks out, this is a trump card for winning by surprise.

"When you reach the flesh refining level, your qi and blood will increase greatly, and your arm strength will increase to more than 400 jin. All the gangs in the county will rush to invite you to join. The silver for filial piety every month is a considerable amount."

Gao Sheng put down the stone table.

"As for Yijin martial arts masters, their qi and blood are strengthened, and they practice Mingjin. With a single move, they can exert a thousand pounds of strength. Such people are the guests of honor of all the major forces in the county, and they are considered the top figures in the world."

"What about the bone forging realm?" Fang Xiu asked curiously.

"The great martial arts masters in the bone forging realm have already transformed Mingjin into Anjin. Their strength can no longer be measured by pure strength. Li Feixiong, the owner of our martial arts hall, is a great martial arts master!" Gao Sheng looked proud.

"What about after that?" Fang Xiu continued to ask. According to the current level of improvement, martial arts can never compare to cultivation. It is still too weak.

Gao Sheng shook his head: "I don't know what will happen after that. It is said that after bone forging, it is blood transfusion. The blood transfusion realm is also called the master of transformation, which can be compared with the innate master who practices internal strength."

"Internal strength?!" Fang Xiu's eyes lit up.

"Don't even think about internal strength. Not to mention how rare it is, the speed of practicing it alone is so slow that it makes people despair." Gao Sheng frowned.

"I once heard from Master that practicing internal strength requires five years of strength to have the strength of a warrior in the Mo Skin Realm.

Refining the flesh, changing the tendons, and strengthening the bones correspond to ten, twenty, and fifty years of strength, respectively.

The legendary Xiantian master who is elusive has three hundred years of strength!

Only the children of the martial arts sects and aristocratic families who can eat all kinds of medicine as food have the confidence to practice internal strength.

Let's not be too ambitious."

"Junior brother, I have learned from you." Fang Xiu clasped his fists and did not continue to ask.

If a warrior has hundreds or even thousands of years of strength, he may really be able to compete with the immortal cultivators.

Of course, Fang Xiu currently does not even have enough resources to practice external strength, so it is wishful thinking to want to practice internal strength.

"Take it step by step first, don't be impatient." Fang Xiu warned himself in his heart that he must be steady.

He has the Book of Destiny in his hand, which can change his fate. As long as his strength is improved, he will be able to touch the inner strength sooner or later.

......

The next day.

Chenshi.

The sun has just risen.

In the front yard of the Sanjue Martial Arts Hall, the disciples in training clothes lined up to receive the lecture from the eldest brother Li Shan.

Even the old men who were grinding their skin stopped.

As the adopted son and direct disciple of the owner Li Feixiong, Li Shan is the strongest among all the disciples, and he has mastered the three unique skills of the martial arts hall, namely the Thunder Fist, Ice Palm, and Gale Leg.

Among the martial artists in the entire Qingshi County, Li Shan is a top figure.

The key is that he has an easy-going personality and is good at teaching. Generally, after teaching the new disciples, he will take the time to instruct the old people before going to the inner courtyard to guide the sons of the wealthy who have spent a lot of money.

Li Shan first explained the details of the grinding realm cultivation, mainly taking care of the new disciples.

Then he tested the new disciple's physique, which was actually to touch the bones to see how the body was developing and whether there were any defects.

Fang Xiu's physique was barely considered medium-low, which made him feel relieved.

If his fate was still [weak and sickly], his physique would probably be very low-end, but now he had a medium-low physique, which was beyond his expectations.

At present, the medium-low physique was also okay, and he would change it when he had the chance in the future.

Fang Xiu would not take the initiative to kill people to "borrow lives", but in this world, he was often helpless.

"The Thunder Fist is fierce and overbearing, focusing on strength and burst; the Swift Wind Leg has a long meridian, focusing on speed and endurance; the Ice Palm is insidious and unpredictable, with tricky moves and hard to defend against.

Among the three martial arts, the Thunder Fist has the lowest requirements for the bones, and it is easy to practice as long as the body is strong enough.

The second is the Swift Wind Leg... The Ice Palm is the most difficult to practice, and even I have only just begun to learn it.

My suggestion to you is to practice the Thunder Fist first, which is also the choice of most disciples.

After breaking through the skin barrier, consider other things."

Li Shan gave suggestions after testing the bones of several people.
