Chapter 86 Apprenticeship
Great success?

After a moment of silence, Shang Yunfang's eyes changed drastically, and she looked at Chen Ku in disbelief, saying:
"Swordsmanship? The mastery of the bone-cutting and butchering swordsmanship?"

His breathing became rapid.

Just like what he said to Ke Yansheng at that time.

If he wants to accept a disciple, he must accept one with better talent and physique than himself, so that good things can be passed down from generation to generation, and each generation will be stronger than the last.

The previous master of Jinshi Academy accepted Yang Lu Chan as his disciple, which is an example of this.

His goal is to recruit someone with the same talent and physique as Yang Luchan did back then.

Therefore, when he heard Ke Yansheng say that Chen Ku had learned the swordsmanship in four or five days, he did not take it seriously, because that was similar to his own.

To be honest.

Shang Yunfang's physique talent was actually not that good. It was only considered good in Baojiao County. If he were to go to Qiulong Mansion, it would only be an above-average talent.

On the contrary, if you bring a figure like Yang Luchan to Qiulong Mansion, he will definitely be a top-notch figure.

It is not easy to divide the root bones specifically.

But the difference between people can be seen very clearly.

Don’t say anything else.

It took him a full year and a half to master the art of bone-cutting and butchering.

"Yes, it's a knife that cuts bones and butchers." Chen Ku did not deny it.

Yang Luchan became anxious.

"Not good!"

He also found Chen Ku's words incredible. After all, a person who was born with such divine power had extremely high innate potential.

He actually has such outstanding talent in martial arts moves.

Interrupt immediately.

"It's a bone-cutting butcher's knife...it's just a martial art of transforming energy..." Yang Luchan pretended to be calm and was about to make a joke to pass on the matter.

“Don’t talk!!”

Shang Yunfang was even more anxious than him, and regardless of his own injuries, he angrily shouted at Yang Luchan, then looked at Chen Ku and said:

"Let's go to the martial arts arena."

After Shang Yunfang finished speaking, Ke Yansheng's face flushed red and he looked at Chen Ku with surprise.

The mastery of the bone-cutting and butchering knife?

When it comes to his attainments in this sword technique, this is all he is at.

After all, in terms of proficiency in a martial art, most people can only master it to a high level. As for mastering it to perfection, one has to devote a lifetime of hard work to it before one can achieve that.

Soon, the martial arts arena was filled with many apprentices and fellows who came to watch the fun.

This also included Zhang Erniu, Che Ping, Huang Bao and others who lived in the same house with Chen Ku at the time.

They watched Shang Yunfang hand Chen Ku a knife, then gave Ke Yansheng a look, asking him to test whether what Chen Ku said was true or false.

"Just attack with your swordsmanship, or you can use brute force. I have reached the second level of the mysterious realm. Don't worry, I can suppress you." Ke Yansheng signaled Chen Ku to use all his strength. Only in this way could Chen Ku give it his all, and it would also be a chance for him to stay in the yard.

"Yes, disciple understands. Master Ke, I am sorry."

Chen Ku held a common long sword used in the martial arts arena, and used the 'whip-penetrating' technique of the bone-cutting and butchering sword against Ke Yansheng. He moved the sword forward and swung it like a whip.

He had already secretly changed to Feng Guangbian, with the blessing of his experience in the great mastery of the Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife. The reason why he used this move was because the strength and spirit of this move and one of the Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife's moves, 'Fen Hua Fu Liu', were almost the same.

With this knife, the power was surged and the mind was suddenly released. It was really like a knife that made flowers fall and water flow. One after another small knife winds were stirred up in the air and surrounded Ke Yansheng.

“It’s really a success!”

Ke Yansheng was extremely surprised when he saw this. He slipped like a golden carp and disappeared in Chen Ku's sword wind with extremely fast movement. At the same time, he pointed the sword in his hand at Chen Ku's ribs.

Chen Ku's hair stood on end.

"What a fast speed! This is Master Ke's real strength! I thought that my Four Symbols Power could defeat ten in most cases, but now I really realize that the advancement of martial arts practice... is the overall improvement of the physique. I only improved my strength. In terms of body movement and speed, it is far from possible to compare with the masters who have internal energy."

After all, no matter how strong he is, he is still a mortal. Even if he strikes out with a stick weighing tens of thousands of pounds, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot hit others. Others can dodge with their speed and instantly pierce his throat with a sword. Even if he has supernatural powers, life and death are decided in a split second, so supernatural powers are useless.

However, facing Ke Yansheng's knife, Chen Ku could feel that Master Ke was simply countering his moves. Otherwise, the knife would have hit him. Unlike now, he deliberately held back and waited for him to counterattack, just to test his knife skills.

Since it was just a test of swordsmanship, Chen Ku did not hide anything at all, and used his experience from the Five Tigers Breaking Door Sword, which was at the master level, to apply to the Bone-Cutting and Butchering Swords, and he displayed several of the moves, such as 'Mercury Pours on the Ground', 'Penetrating Every Hole', and 'Entering and Exiting Without a Break', at the master level.

Finally, it’s time to learn the most crucial secret technique.

Lion Rolling Ball!

Chen Ku spun the knife, and his entire body seemed to be surrounded by the knife's wind.

Apprentices and servants like Zhang Erniu, Che Ping and Huang Bao, who had not yet mastered the Hua Jin level, could not catch anything with their eyes. They could only see that the knife in Chen Ku's hand disappeared, like a white ball rolling around.

The wind from the sword whistled and howled, like the buzzing of bees in the air!
"Okay! You can stop now!"

Shang Yunfang spoke loudly.

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Ku put away his knife and stopped where he was, then turned to look at the chefs and the shopkeeper.

Then I saw Shang Yunfang's eyes were red with excitement:
"Okay, okay, okay. In two or three months, you will be able to master a sword technique. Even though it is only a sword technique at the Huajin level, with such a talent for swordsmanship, you will definitely be able to learn my Black Tiger Slaughtering Knife and surpass it!"

All he wanted in his life was to find someone with better talent than him.

Now, he found it!
Right under our noses!

This apprentice's talent and aptitude have continuously impacted everyone's psychological expectations.

“No!” Yang Luchan came out and said, “This is the heir I have carefully selected and waited for my whole life. He must learn my Violent Ape Thousand-pound Staff.”

Shang Yunfang said calmly, "Old Yang, you have also seen it with your own eyes. This child is not only suitable for learning the cudgel, his talent for swordsmanship is even stronger than that for cudgel. He has mastered a swordsmanship in three months. Your cudgel to the sky is still a small success now."

"You are talking nonsense, Shang the Dwarf. How can the minor accomplishment of the unique skill of the staff be compared with your ordinary bone-cutting and butchering knife?"

Yang Luchan once again showed his temper, cursing loudly, saying:

"He must go to Jinshi Academy, where I will personally teach him how to use a stick." In the martial arts arena, the apprentices and fellows were all stunned.

Especially the few people who had lived in the same room with Chen Ku, all looked at the young man in long gown in shock.

Even though Chen Ku had already told them once during the monthly exam.

There is a huge gap between people.

But they never imagined it could be this big.

Zhang Erniu muttered absentmindedly, "He made the two masters of Yaowang Hall fight fiercely to accept him as their apprentice. This achievement... This is the treatment of a genius!"

He felt that he had learned a lot.

This is the first time I know that geniuses can be treated like this.

but,
Not to mention Zhang Erniu.

Even the three shopkeepers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yaowangtang has been established for more than a hundred years and is a century-old brand. However, this is the first time that two master chefs are competing for an apprentice and a disciple at the same time.

Of course, this is inseparable from the innate strength and swordsmanship talent that Chen Ku demonstrated at the same time.

"Don't forget, this child also has a talent for pharmacology." Cao Shouxiong said to Chai Bao, "Why don't you try to learn it?"

Chai Bao shook his head and said, "How can I compete? The two masters, Master Yang and Master Shang, both have reasons to compete. One is because of his physique and divine power, and the other is because of his swordsmanship talent. If I get involved, I will have to intervene. I'm afraid they will point their spearheads at me first."

Although he also wanted the genius Chen Ku, who doesn't like a genius?

But Chen Ku had never practiced archery.

What reason does he have to argue?
All they could do was watch Yang Luchan and Shang Yunfang fight until Yang Luchan threw out his ultimate move:
"Shang the Shorty, have you forgotten who blocked the knife for you when you were escorting the herbs? And you also forgot... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have survived the past two days. You want to steal my apprentice? You are so ungrateful!"

Shang Yunfang's expression froze.

Yang Luchan was even more pleased when he saw this, stroking his beard and saying, "Nothing to say, right?"

Shang Yunfang sighed inwardly and then looked at Chen Ku.

Finally, maybe he figured something out.

Road:
"Forget it. I'll give in. Anyway, the kid just said it clearly himself. He wants to learn everything. Moreover, he is indeed qualified to learn everything. So, let him take both of us as his teachers at once."

Shang Yunfang didn't notice.

When he said this, the expressions of the chief and second chief managers at the edge of the martial arts arena changed slightly.

Cao Shouxiong, as the third shopkeeper, was next to the two men and was very clear about their thoughts. He thought to himself, "Are you afraid that the people sent by the boss in the future will not be able to control those who have risen from the bottom? Am I an example?"

But the more this happened, the more he wanted to help Chen Ku, who was in a similar situation as himself. Before the two shopkeepers had time to speak, he said:

"I think Mr. Shang's suggestion is very good. After all, they are all our own things. It is better to pass them to one person than to two people. I also want to see how far the person who can learn both the Violent Ape Thousand-pound Staff and the Black Tiger Slaughtering Knife can go on this path in the end."

Yang Luchan looked at the third shopkeeper, then at Shang Yunfang, and then at Chen Ku, slowly accepting the fact that the genius apprentice could not be enjoyed by one person alone, and he couldn't help but sighed gloomily and said, "Forget it, fine, but I am old, so I must be the master."

Shang Yunfang rolled her eyes and said, "You are older than me, how can I snatch this from you?"

"What about teaching in the future?"

"One person per day."

The head and second shopkeeper looked at Cao Shouxiong and the two master chefs, and they had already decided the matter after one sentence each. Especially Yang Luchan, as the guardian god of the hall, if he had any other opinions at this time, such a large force would be difficult to control, so they could only hold their noses and acquiesce.

Soon.

Chen Ku watched the two masters sit on the armchairs. Ke Yansheng brought tea and poured two cups.

Apprenticeship Ceremony!
Chen Ku stepped forward respectfully and served two cups of tea in turn, calling out, "Master, Second Master, your disciple Chen Ku presents you with tea."

Yang Luchan and Shang Yunfang both took the teacups with satisfaction and took a sip.

Shang Yunfang said:
"From today on, you are no longer an outsider in our Medicine King Hall. You are completely one of our family members. Especially as a disciple of our two master chefs, your status is equal to that of ordinary masters... In a while, someone will measure your size, and then you will be given an embroidered gown as a symbol of status."

When Chen Ku heard the word "gown", he couldn't help but recall the memory of the first time he saw Huang Gun teaching.

At that time, he was in awe of Huang Gun's gown, not only because of the craftsmanship and price of the gown, but more importantly because of the status and identity behind the gown. In Yaowang Hall, those who could wear gowns had completely entered the upper class.

"Disciple thanks both masters." Chen Ku bowed.

"Okay, I won't argue with you, Master Yang, today. You can go to Jinshiyuan first to get familiar with it, and then come to Tujieyuan tomorrow." Shang Yunfang said, "I will teach you the Black Tiger Slaughtering Knife."

Yang Luchan was very satisfied with Shang Yunfang's enlightenment.

He couldn't wait to train his new apprentice.

So he brought Chen Kuxian to Jinshiyuan.

"This is your senior brother Yang Shaoqi. He is now in the late stage of internal energy." Yang Luchan pointed at the eldest disciple and introduced him to Chen Ku.

Chen Ku immediately bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Senior Brother."

Yang Shaoqi sighed and said, "Junior brother, now that I have you, I am no longer favored. I am afraid that Master will put all his love and care on you. I..."

Chen Ku was stunned.

But before Yang Shaoqi could finish, Yang Luchan glared at him and said, "Then I will pamper you in front of your junior brother."

See the master's eyes.

Yang Shaoqi prostrated himself on the ground in a tiger pose, knocking his head loudly, and said, "Master! That's not necessary! To be honest, I have always hoped that there would be someone who could share your 'favor' with me!"

Chen Ku watched Brother Yang kneel down so instinctively, and for some reason he felt a little scared. Could it be that his master's teaching method was very violent?

Yang Luchan looked at Yang Shaoqi and admitted his mistake. He nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Chen Ku and said:
"You are now combining your strength and mind, right? You are about to break through your internal energy. It just so happens that today I will teach you the most fundamental Qigong mental method of our Medicine King Hall, the Qigong chapter of the "Eternal Spring Classic" and the first four moves of the Violent Ape Thousand-pound Staff."

Chen Ku's emotions fluctuated slightly.

qigong!

The secret of internal energy.

It's finally opening up to him.
