Start from the Martial Arts

The ball of light flew towards Fang Xiu with a whoosh and entered his body.

He saw the Book of Destiny in his consciousness again.

The green light group floated around the Book of Destiny. Like Fang Xiu's previous black destiny, it was not integrated into the Book of Destiny.

The next moment, Fang Xiu's eyes fell into a trance, and his consciousness merged into the green light group.

Ji Bo's life was quickly presented in a revolving door and entered into the Book of Destiny.

[Ji Bo, whose original name was Zhang Xun, was born in Jiulian County, north of Qingshi County, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 810th year of Dayan and the 18th year of Taihe. 】

[Although Zhang Xun came from a poor family, he had outstanding looks and talent. At the age of only thirteen, he was spotted by the Wang family, a wealthy family in Jiulian County, and became his son-in-law. 】

[At the age of fifteen, Zhang Xun was admitted as a scholar. During a trip to Qingshi County to visit friends, he met Hanyan, the top girl in Chunjiang Tower. 】

[Zhang Xun promised that when he comes to Beijing to take the exam and is named on the gold medal list, he will redeem Han Yan's life and marry her. 】

[Han Yan was greatly moved and gave all his savings to Ji Bo to help him study in Beijing, visit friends, and manage relationships. 】

[At the age of eighteen, Zhang Xun became famous at the Shendu Poetry Festival and was spotted by the youngest daughter of Shen Qian, the second minister of the cabinet. Zhang Xun then reconciled with his wife and became the son-in-law of the Shen family. 】

[In the same year, Zhang Xun won the top prize in high school in the imperial examination and returned to Tianze Prefecture to serve as the magistrate of Jiulian County. 】

[Han Yan asked Zhang Xun why he didn't keep his promise. Zhang Xun wrote many obscene words and songs to insult Han Yan. 】

[For political achievements, Zhang Xun cooperated with the Changsheng Sect to suppress bandits and bandits on a large scale, which greatly improved the security of Jiulian County and increased grain production year by year. This also allowed the Changsheng Sect to take root in Jiulian County and develop rapidly. 】

[At the age of twenty-one, Zhang Xun discovered to his horror that his body was aging at a speed beyond normal. 】

[In the same year, there was a severe drought in Jiulian County and there was no harvest. In order not to affect his promotion, Zhang Xun violently requisitioned grain and joined forces with the Changsheng Cult to rob large households in the county and nearby merchants. 】

[At the age of twenty-six, Zhang Xun was transferred to Shendu. On the way, he learned that his father-in-law was involved in the rebellion of the three princes, and was ordered by Emperor Taihe to kill the nine tribes. 】

[Zhang Xun abandoned his wife and son and ran away alone. Due to his dramatic change in appearance, he successfully evaded pursuit by officers and soldiers. He changed his name to Ji Bo and relied on embezzlement money to return to Qingshi County and become a wealthy man. In order to prolong life, many babies were secretly killed. 】

[Three years later, Zhang Xun was thrown into prison when he returned to Qingshi County for offending the magistrate at a poetry meeting. 】

[Borrowing the fate of ‘die young’]

"..." After watching Ji Bo's revolving door, Fang Xiu fell into silence.

"Sure enough, one can't just look at the surface."

Fang Xiu sighed, the evil deeds Ji Bo had done were just the tip of the iceberg.

After a while, Fang Xiu's attention returned to the green light floating around the Book of Destiny.

"Is this destiny the reason for Ji Bo's premature aging..."

He controlled the green light group to fall towards the Book of Destiny.

As a result, it was blocked by an invisible force.

At this time, two lines of text appeared on the Book of Destiny.

[1. Become a martial arts master and sacrifice two black and non-level talents (white and one first-level talent) to be promoted to the first-level life master. 】

[2. Sacrifice two black and non-level talents (white and one first-level talent) and one thousand taels of silver (treasures of the same value) to be promoted to the first-level life master. 】

"Do I need to be promoted to a first-level life master to be able to withstand the green second-level life..."

Fang Xiu suddenly realized.

He now has three fates.

One is his own black destiny [frail and sickly].

The other is the white destiny [Strong and Strong] obtained from Zhao Daqiang.

Finally, there is Ji Bo’s green destiny [die young].

"I don't have a thousand taels of silver, but the conditions for entry into martial arts are not difficult. As for the black and unqualified destiny..."

Fang Xiu pondered in his heart.

It is impossible for him to sacrifice the white destiny of [Strong Body].

I have to 'borrow' another black destiny.

"I killed two people and both got my destiny. If these two people have anything in common..."

Fang Xi recalled the process of borrowing his destiny.

Both Zhao Daqiang and Ji Bo can be said to have done many evil things and committed extremely heinous crimes.

"You only kill evil people, so you don't have to feel any psychological burden."

Fang Xiu cursed secretly.

Recalling the look in Ji Bo's eyes before he died, if given the chance, he would probably kill Fang Xiu mercilessly.

"It will take some time to see the outcome."

Fang Xiu opened the cell door and disguised Ji Bo's body as if he had hanged himself.

After doing all this, go back to the previous level.

It wasn't until the meal was delivered the next day that he pretended to have discovered that Ji Bo had committed suicide.

Masandao arrived at the scene and ordered people to wrap the body in a straw mat and carry it away directly.

After the others left, Ma Sandao asked in a low voice: "Xiao Fang, tell me the truth, how did Ji Ni die?"

"Yesterday he begged me to strangle him to death, so my nephew did it for him."

Fang Xiu answered truthfully and did not hide anything.

"You are kind-hearted." Ma Sandao snorted, and finally asked, "Did you give me any money?"

"No." Fang Xiu shook his head.

"Then he really deserves to die." Ma Sandao did not doubt the authenticity of Fang Xiu's words.

...

Ten days later.

evening.

The front yard of Sanjue Martial Arts School.

Fang Xiu and Zhang Cheng sparred.

Zhang Cheng is tall, a head taller than Fang Xiu.

"Junior Brother Fang, be careful!" Zhang Cheng felt that Fang Xiu's strength was so strong that his palms swelled, so he was ready to take action and rushed towards Fang Xiu quickly.

"Okay!" Fang Xiu's expression was solemn. Suddenly, the blood in his chest surged, and his fist became hot, turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and swelled in a circle, and a powerful force spurted out.

Bang!

Under the collision of fists and palms, Zhang Cheng took several steps back and finally sat down on the ground.

When the disciples in the front yard saw this, many stopped and looked at Fang Xiu's swollen fists with envious expressions.

If you break through the skin barrier within two months, you will be an official disciple of Sanjue Martial Arts School.

Becoming an official warrior in the Skin Grinding Realm will provide you with more sources of income.

Many shops in the city will ask official warriors to sign up to avoid harassment from rogues and small and medium-sized gangs.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Fang."

"Awesome, Senior Brother Fang."

Many people came to Fang Xiu to congratulate him.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Fang." Zhang Cheng stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and changed his title.

Although he is a few years older than Fang Xiu, the martial arts hall respects the strong. Except for a few direct disciples of the owner, the other disciples are ranked according to their cultivation level.

"A lucky breakthrough." Fang Xiu felt the abundant power coming from his body, and his heart felt extremely happy.

The warrior who has broken through the barrier is indeed fundamentally different from ordinary people. He feels that the power of his body is integrated and can burst out at any time.

"Such a quick breakthrough is not a fluke..." Zhang Cheng's face was full of envy.

His family runs a blacksmith shop and is also from a wealthy family. His background is similar to that of Fang Xiu, both of them are middle-to-lower. In the past two months, he has spent a lot of money on decoctions, medicated sandbags, and medicated baths. Compared with Fang Xiu, It only increased a lot, but still failed to break through the skin barrier.

"I'm just a few days early. Besides, you're practicing the most difficult Ice Palm. Maybe I'll have to call you Senior Brother in a few days."

Fang Xiu encouraged Zhang Cheng to be an honest person, and Fang Xiu had a good impression of him.

"Hopefully." Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly. If he didn't break through the skin barrier as soon as possible, his family might not be able to continue to maintain such a large expense, so he was under great psychological pressure.

Zhang Cheng regretted learning Ice Palm.

If you learn the relatively simple Thunder Fist like Fang Xiu, you might have successfully passed the level.

Fang Xiu didn't say much, any words of comfort were useless.

After a while, senior brother Li Shan came to the front yard and was all smiles when he learned that Fang Xiu had broken through the skin barrier.

He called over the three people who were practicing martial arts in the back garden and introduced them to Fang Xiu.

Chang Suqing, the second son of the county captain and the third disciple of the master of the hall, has attained the level of meat refining and is preparing for Yi Jin.

He is eighteen years old, nearly two meters tall, and is as dark and strong as an iron tower.

Su Congwen, the fifth son of the Su family, the fourth disciple of the master of the hall, cultivated in the meat refining realm.

The sixteen-year-old boy was dressed in rich clothes, elegant, with a warm smile on his face, and his whole person was full of the demeanor of a noble prince.

Su Lingyun, the only daughter of the second shopkeeper of Shenbingpu and the eighth disciple of the owner, had just broken through to the meat refining realm a few days ago.

She is only fifteen years old this year, and she is already tall and graceful, with eyes like paint and lips like cinnabar, making her look like a beautiful woman.

"I've met Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, and Eighth Senior Sister." Fang Xiu saluted the three of them.

Although the three of them returned the favor, their attitudes towards him were relatively cold.

Fang Xiu was aware of this, and his expression remained as usual.

Afterwards, Li Shan called Fang Xiu to the backyard alone and asked him what his plans were next.

Knowing that Fang Xiu had not decided yet, Li Shan told him that he could join the army with the recommendation letter from the museum owner Li Feixiong.

As soon as he entered the military camp, he became the corps commander.

After completing the recruit training, you can take up any command.

Fang Xiu declined politely. How could he give up the iron job of a jailer?

Li Shan didn't say much, he just told Fang Xiu that starting from next month, the tuition fee would be reduced to 20 taels a month, but the cost of decoction and medicine would be calculated separately.

The decoctions used by formal warriors are much more expensive than those of apprentices. The cost of decoctions for a month is ten taels of silver.

Of course, Fang Xiu can also continue to use the previous decoction, which is provided by the martial arts hall for free.

Fang Xiu said he would think about it.

He returned to the front yard and continued to practice boxing to adapt to the changes in his body.
