Chapter 36 Breathing Method (recommended for follow-up reading)

In front of everyone, he easily pulled the ten-stone iron bow, and put the bow down without changing his expression or breathing.

“A thousand pounds of force!!”

Now the faces and expressions of the masters in the courtyards became even more interesting.

"Not only does he have the talent of a pharmacist, but he also has such a good talent for martial arts?!"

They subconsciously looked at Chai Bao.

My heart tightened a little.

Sure enough, after witnessing Chen Ku easily pull the Ten-Stone Bow, the highest-strength iron-frame bow, the coach of the Medicine King Hall guards.

Chai Bao, the leopard-headed, round-eyed, tall, and strong-legged coach, directly addressed the third shopkeeper, Hong Shouxiong:

"Boss, give me this man. He has a lot of talent and will definitely be successful in the future."

As the guard coach of the entire Yaowang Hall, in a sense, he is the most capable fighter in the Hall.

The many guards under his command are responsible for suppressing and taking action against the outside world of Yaowang Hall, as well as protecting the safety of the hall.

One with good eyesight can naturally see it.

To be able to pull the thousand-jin bow so easily meant that Chen Ku must have at least 1,300 to 1,400 jin of strength. What did this mean...

root!

Some people are born with supernatural powers. They don't need to practice and have hundreds of pounds of strength. This is called innate physique, and they are the potential for martial arts training.

Huang Gun said in a deep voice at this time: "He has only been here for less than a month. How can he have such strength just by practicing the Spirit Ape Great Strength? This means that when he came in, he had already completed his training. With such martial arts skills, what is his intention to join the Medicine King Hall?"

He originally thought that Chen Ku had only practiced some martial arts, but he never expected that Chen Ku had actually practiced to perfection, or even above it.

The others were also surprised when Chen Ku pulled the bow to full length, but now they came to their senses and were moved by Huang Gun's words.

Huang Gun narrowed his eyes.

Because of Chen Ku’s background…

When he saw Chen Ku, he thought of Huang Ba, a member of the Sheyu Town clan. Thinking of Huang Ba's death, he felt uneasy and had a grudge and rejection towards the people of Sheyu Town.

Subconsciously, I wanted to make things difficult for Chen Ku.

Chen Ku naturally had an explanation for this.

And before he could ask.

Cao Shouxiong spoke up, looked at Chen Ku, and said, "You have practiced martial arts before, right? What did you practice?"

Chen Ku glanced at Huang Gun.

[There is a person named Huang Gun, who has bad intentions towards the owner of the picture, and has already caused bad luck...]

Heart Road:

"I haven't even reported you yet, but you're already disgusted with me. Well, you're indeed on the same path as Huang Ba. When I become powerful in the future, I'll get rid of you sooner or later."

He faced Cao Shouxiong's questioning.

I didn't intend to hide anything.

After all, if Yaowangtang really wanted to mind people who had practiced martial arts to join, then they shouldn't have accepted other people from the city. In addition, he didn't practice any advanced martial arts, so he said half-truthfully:
"To reply to the Third Shopkeeper, I have practiced martial arts before. I practiced the Ten Sections of Brocade, which I mastered not long ago."

"Ten sections of brocade..."

Cao Shouxiong laughed when he heard this:

"I bought it on the black market."

"Ah? How do you know?" Chen Ku responded.

Cao Shouxiong smiled.

The pharmacists from several courtyards behind him also laughed.

"So it's the Ten-Section Brocade. Indeed, the Ten-Section Brocade of Minghe Martial Arts School is almost going viral. It costs fifty taels of silver per copy. I've seen it all."

"It's pitiful that a martial arts school that is about to go bankrupt has to sell its martial arts manuals to save its family business."

When Huang Gun heard that Chen Ku was practicing "Ten Section Brocade", he stopped talking.

This strength-building technique is really common and can be purchased by anyone with money.

It seems Huang Gun still wants to speak.

Cao Shouxiong made the final decision: "Well, there are more than one or two people who have practiced martial arts before entering my Medicine King Hall. Just as Master Chai said, his physique is not bad. It is a good thing for such a good seedling to enter my Medicine King Hall."

When Huang Gun heard these words, he glanced at a few people with a hidden look.

If he continued to hold on to this matter, he might offend other people in the courtyard. After all, when other families sent people here, they all brought their skills. So his expression softened and he smiled, "The shopkeeper is right. I was worrying too much."

"Okay, Chen Ku, you go down first and wait for others to finish the competition." Cao Shouxiong waved his hand and asked Chen Ku to step down. There were still some people left in this last event.

After Chen Ku stepped down, he watched others continue to go up to try out the bows, but his attention was focused on those important figures.

They seemed to be walking away on purpose, discussing something.

"Boss, leave this man to me!" Chai Bao said, "He is a good candidate."

"Coach Chai, what do you mean? Practicing martial arts is indeed important, but don't forget that the foundation of my Medicine King Hall is medicine." Dean Jinshi's goateed pharmacist Wei has the qualifications to challenge Chai Bao because of his high status.

"That's right, Coach Chai. Those of you who major in martial arts, in the end, still need us pharmacists to make medicine for you..." Qu Hua also chimed in. As a pharmacist, he naturally preferred people with talent in pharmacology to make medicine.

"Then please let the shopkeeper make the decision." Chai Bao had a straight face and no expression.

Cao Shouxiong was thinking.

"Ask him himself."

After a while, all three events were completed.

As expected, Chen Ku won the top spot in both categories, thus occupying one extra place. Only eight people became apprentices this time, including Song Yuan and Che Ping.

Watching Zhang Erniu leave in despair, Chen Ku said to himself, "If I didn't have the transformation diagram, I would probably be just a miniature of an ordinary person like this."

At this time.

He watched Cao Shouxiong come over and announce the admission list of other people, but his was not on the list. Before Chen Ku could express his curiosity.

Cao Shouxiong looked at Chen Ku and asked directly, "You are not bad. The three academies and Coach Chai all want you. Even I can't do anything about it. I can't offend anyone. So, I will let you choose for yourself. Which academy do you want to join?"

"I want to go to the slaughterhouse."

This answer not only made Cao Shouxiong and several other masters in the academy frown, but even Ke Yansheng from the butcher's academy was surprised.

Ke Yansheng blurted out, curiously asking, "Why do you want to come to our slaughterhouse?"

It is obvious that Jinshiyuan has the highest status and Chai Bao is the most suitable place to learn martial arts, so why did he choose the dirty and tiring Tujieyuan?

Chen Ku smiled, revealing his big white teeth, and said, "Master Ke, I saw Master Shang's knife skills that day. I like knives and want to learn the knife skills of Tu Jie Yuan."

This is actually the reason.

But, it is true...

When it comes to swordsmanship, Shang Yunfang is the best swordsman in the entire Yaowang Hall.

Seeing this, the masters from the other academies stopped talking.

Everyone has their own preferences when practicing martial arts. Some people like swords, some people like knives. Only when you like something can you produce something. This is the principle of practicing martial arts.

"Okay, then you can follow me into the butcher's yard." Ke Yansheng said with a smile, but he did not forget to put some pressure on me: "But it's not that easy to learn Master Shang's swordsmanship. He has high standards and will not easily accept disciples."

"Students should work hard." Chen Ku said with a bow.

"Since you have entered my Tujieyuan, the reward for the double first prize this time will be awarded to you by my Tujieyuan."

Ke Yansheng smiled and handed a plate to Chen Ku:
"In addition to the 'Spiritual Ape Breathing Method' that is standard for apprentices, there are also ten taels of silver. Since you want to learn swordsmanship, on behalf of the Tujie Academy, I can reward you with a 'Bone-cutting and Butchering Knife' in advance. It is also a Huajin martial art. It was originally given to successful apprentices. Now I will reward you with two superior Huajin martial arts at once. Isn't this a generous reward?"

Chen Ku was very moved.

Two superior martial arts that can transform your energy!

A higher reward than he had imagined.

"Thank you, Master Ke!"

Chen Ku accepted it.

After a while, he followed Ke Yansheng to the slaughterhouse and lived in the apprentice's house.

"Starting tomorrow, I'll let your senior here take you to slaughter cattle and dogs and get the cow gall and dog treasure." Ke Yansheng said, "If you have any problems with your swordsmanship and breathing techniques, you can always come to me. I'm leaving first."

"Master Ke, take care." Chen Ku listened to this treatment.

Apprentice, he is indeed worthy of being a half-disciple.

Looking back, I have my own door and bed, and finally I don’t have to share a large bunk bed with others. I can’t help but say from the bottom of my heart:
"Cool!"

At night, he began to study the Spirit Monkey Breathing Method.

The number of readers has slightly decreased in the past two days. I looked back at the comments on the next chapter and there doesn't seem to be any discouraging plot. So it's probably because the plot was flat in the past few days and I'm still nurturing the book. The new book is short, with only 80,000 to 90,000 words so far, so I can understand it. But Monday and Tuesday are special days for the editor to look at the number of readers and make subsequent recommendations. I sincerely ask everyone to lend a hand in these two days. The book nurturing masters, please click in and read every Monday and Tuesday.
