Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Chapter 54 Fierce!
It was already October, and autumn was in full swing. The yellow leaves on the trees were swirling, blown by the wind, and falling onto the apprentices' clothes.

In the empty training ground at the backyard of Yaowang Hall.

Chen Ku stood there, looking at Jiang Shaoyou who was running towards him, and couldn't help but bowed:

"Brother Jiang, do you want me to fight you?"

As for Jiang Shaoyou, Chen Ku still hasn't figured out why the other party wants to make friends with him, but he has to admit that he has received benefits from the other party, so he speaks more gently and politely.

"I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do that..."

He wasn't being modest when he said this; it was the truth.

After all, after two or three months in Yaowang Hall, he already knew that children from wealthy families in the county who came in midway like Jiang Shaoyou had been practicing martial arts since childhood and had been enlightened earlier than him, not to mention that they were two or three years older than him.

Putting all these conditions together, as long as they are not too bad, they are probably just one step away from achieving internal energy.

In other words, he is a person with both strength and background, not an unlearned second generation. The reason why he entered Yaowangtang is to "study further" and learn the secret fighting methods, fundamental diagrams, qigong and other inheritances of Yaowangtang.

"Brother Chen, don't be too modest. I could see from your bow drawing that day that you have a strong character. Even if your realm is not high enough, your divine power can make up for it."

Jiang Shaoyou was dressed as an apprentice of Yaowang Hall at this time, but he could not hide his noble temperament like a young master. He smiled bitterly and said to Chen:

"Besides, that little monkey can't be of no use to you, right? Don't be so formal with me, let's stop here, how about that?"

When Chen Ku heard the other party mention the spirit ape, he knew that he couldn't say anything else. If he refused again, it would seem that he was unkind, so he bowed and said, "Then please show mercy, Senior Brother Jiang."

Not far away, Ke Yansheng was on the two or three-story wooden staircase platform in the training ground, keeping an eye on Chen Ku. Seeing Chen Ku actually starting a fight with the young man from Jinshiyuan, he couldn't help but frown:
"Did this child offend the young master of Tongwenguan?"

The population of the Daji Dynasty was over several hundred billion. Baojiao County was a large county with a total population of 100,000 households. In the county town, which covered an area of ​​ten miles in radius, there were at least 10,000 households, while there were only a thousand households in the inner city.

Those who can settle down in outer cities at least have a skill or a craft to make a living, otherwise they cannot live in the city.

Those who could live in the inner city could be considered moderately wealthy. Without a few hundred taels of silver at home, they could not buy the expensive houses in the inner city.

But these are just small wealthy people and small families.

So what is a big and wealthy family?

They are giants such as Tongwenguan, Heyuan Escort Agency, Hongyan Tower, Yaowangtang, Yulonghui, Chaitiepu, etc., each of which monopolizes a certain industry.

Among them, Yaowangtang, Yulonghui and Chaitiepu are particularly known for their martial arts and fighting skills.

Although Tongwenguan, the Escort Agency, and Hongyan Tower are not as well-versed in martial arts as the three giants, their financial strength is so strong that it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine in their lifetime.

Take Tongwenguan as an example. It almost occupies an entire street of "Calligraphy and Painting" in a small street in Baojiao County. It is the leader of the antique calligraphy and painting industry.

If we ignore cash and silver and only consider the value, the massive wealth hidden behind Tongwenguan can be said to be the richest man in Baojiao County without any exaggeration.

If everything on that street could be measured in silver, it would be worth at least tens of millions of taels of silver.

The fact that a county can be so rich is closely related to Baojiao County’s geographical location and rich real estate resources.

Why would a young master who is already so wealthy still want to learn martial arts?

This is also a kind of unspoken rule.

The imperial court held an imperial examination for the benefit of the people, and after passing it, one could obtain the title of a student.

The Daji Dynasty valued military over literature. As long as a warrior passed the examination to become a "Wu Tongsheng", also known as a Wusheng, he could be "tax-exempt from ten thousand silver coins". On the other hand, scholars needed to obtain the title of Xiucai.

So, how could a wealthy family not want to have a scholar or a martial artist in their family? So that they could be exempted from large taxes?
Therefore, even if there are some playboys among the young masters of the big and powerful families, at least one must be picked out to bring honor to the family!

but,
Don’t think that it’s easy to get a place as a martial arts student.

Not only is there a quota limit, each county can only produce ten "Wusheng" each year.

There are also age and skill restrictions, that is, under 20 years old, with internal energy or above.

This level is enough to stump 90% of mediocre people, not to mention that the county government will have a unified "military examination" at the end, which only limits the number of candidates to ten, which will eliminate a large number of people.

……

"Tongwenguan, no matter how rich you are, I hope the man in your family is not a playboy. Otherwise, if you dare to bully the real seedlings of my Tujieyuan, I will definitely teach you a lesson!" Ke Yansheng stared at Jiang Shaoyou, who was already standing opposite Chen Ku, with ill intentions.

Jiang Shaoyou stood on the ground compacted by loess, and said to Chen Ku, who was three meters away, with a smile:

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Chen. I have already mastered the martial arts inherited from my family to the level of 'intention and strength integration'. I also obtained the Spirit Ape recently. In the past month, I have mastered the basic diagram of our Medicine King Hall's 'Spirit Ape Tongbei Fist'. Logically speaking, I am two small realms higher than you. Therefore, this time I am just fighting with Junior Brother Chen for fun, and there is no murderous intent."

"please!"

After saying that, he signaled Chen Ku to attack first.

After all, he already has advantages in various realms, strength, and cultivation. If he takes the initiative to attack, it will not be a fight, but an attempt to suppress the other person.

"You just want to spar for fun? Do you want to see my bottom line? Is it worth making further friends?"

This thought flashed through Chen Ku’s mind.

Immediately, I thought:

"I also want to see what level of opponent I can fight in a fair and square situation."

His eyes became slightly firmer.

Then give it a try.

"Please give me some advice, senior brother!"

One word fell.

boom!
He stepped on the ground with his cloth shoes and twisted his toes, generating force from the ground, which instantly trampled the compacted soil, creating a mud hole and splashing mud.

Then he stretched out his legs and swung his waist, and in an instant he jumped three feet away and came in front of Jiang Shaoyou. His spine undulated like a mountain range, and he exerted force and smashed his hands, with his five fingers like knives, striking towards Jiang Shaoyou's neck.

This move, using the hand instead of a knife, is exactly the "sideways chopping" technique of the bone-cutting and butchering knife.

woohoo~~
The air was cut and made a buzzing sound.

With the speed of Chen Kuxi Dog's pounce,

And the sudden burst of more than four thousand pounds of strength was all transmitted to the palm.

It was like a tall butcher with blood on his hands, raising a big guillotine in one hand and treating Jiang Shaoyou as the animal to be slaughtered on the chopping board, so ferocious and domineering!

"You have mastered the power? You have only been an apprentice for a month, but you have mastered the power. Your whole body is connected, and you can use the power to hit wherever you point it?"

Jiang Shaoyou felt the terrible humming of air in front of his neck, his mind flashed rapidly, and then he felt something, his face changed slightly:

"...Wait, how much strength is contained in this sword? How can it be so powerful?!"

Ke Yansheng, who had been staring at Chen Ku and Jiang Shaoyou, was also surprised and delighted by the results of his practice contained in the ups and downs of Chen Ku's aura after his shock:
"He... I just made a random guess that day... and he really became so powerful within a month that he could penetrate his entire body? This kid! Is he such a genius?"

Jiang Shaoyou didn't care about all that. Facing Chen Ku's fierce knife attack, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and like lightning, he took a step back with his right leg, making room and avoiding his neck.

At the same time, he squatted down, with a posture of "monkey squatting" showing in his fist stance, and the whole body was energized. His right hand was raised from the bottom of the sea, with five fingers clenched into a fist and raised up.

Boom! The air in front of my chest is blown away!

The 'White Ape Catching the Moon' move bombarded Chen Ku's hand knife like a cannon, intending to fight head-on.

But I don’t know whether it is the powerful strength of the four thousand pound bones, or the steady and solid realm of cultivation that makes him superior?
