Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 12 That Year, I Was Sixteen
Lu Ping stared at the three rewards and pondered for a long time.

First, rule out the Buddha and Demon Swords. I don't want to lose myself while using them, and they are so ugly... Then there are only two choices left.

Considering that you may get various sword and knife skills in the system in the future, the Taiwu artifact is actually a more guaranteed choice.

But Lu Ping asked himself if he was sure he could reach Ye Xiaochai's level of sword cultivation in such a short time. It would probably be very difficult for him to use these two magical weapons well. Moreover, if he practiced both the sword and the knife at the same time, he would be distracted.

"It's better to take two swords. You can't bite off more than you can chew!"

[You have chosen to receive the reward: The Legend of a Gentleman/The Title of the Nine Fives, do you confirm? ]

"confirm."

[Selection successful, the weapon has been delivered to the package, please check it carefully. ]

In the world of Pili, martial arts masters can take out their weapons at any time and from nowhere. This time, Lu Ping finally got what he wanted.

Lu Ping took the two weapons out of the system package and couldn't wait to admire them.

His hands stroked the blades of the double-edged weapons back and forth, as if he was stroking the delicate hands of his first love, and his movements were extremely careful, for fear of letting them be stained with a trace of dust.

His gaze was as greedy as if he was looking at the body of the person he loved. If there was a mirror in front of him at this moment, even he would probably look down on himself.

"No, I can't read it anymore, otherwise I won't be willing to use it in the future."

After putting away his weapons, Lu Ping finally started a new day.

On days when he is not working, Lu Ping will not go out for a stroll, but will stay at home drinking tea and reading. The house he lives in now has many books, all left by his two adoptive parents whose identities are mysterious and whose whereabouts are a mystery.

Yes, the original body's parents were not actually dead, but they had not been home for more than ten years, so in the eyes of the original body and the people in the town, they were dead, and they even had a cenotaph and tombstones erected.

After all, if the couple hadn’t died, how could they have abandoned their child and not come back to visit for more than ten years?

In addition, the world of martial arts is full of dangers, so it is only too normal for the two of them to accidentally die outside.

The books left by my parents were not something that contained any miraculous skills. On the contrary, they were just a bunch of common currency. You could go to any bookstore and spend a few taels of silver to buy a whole box of them.

If there is anything good about it, it is that it is all-encompassing.

The Four Books and Five Classics, Zuo Zhuan and Spring and Autumn Annals, Tao Te Ching, Diamond Sutra, The Art of War, Yin-Yang Calculation, Plum Blossom Divination, Legal Theory and Mohist Theory... In short, all classic literary masterpieces are included.

The reason why Lu Ping was able to take on the job at the clinic and help the pharmacist in collecting herbs was all thanks to the books on identifying herbs found here.

In addition, his current main task of "reading 10 famous books" also depends entirely on them.

Among these books, there is a special one, entitled "Martial Arts Enlightenment".

This is a book about basic martial arts that has been popular in the martial arts world for some time, and no one even knows who the original author is.

The content generally includes five parts: 'Basic use of fists and feet', 'Characteristics of common weapons', 'Overview of acupuncture points on the human body', 'Basics of simple combat' and 'Things to remember when roaming the world'.

I heard that many people in the martial arts world used this book as their enlightenment when they first started learning martial arts.

Because he found it interesting, Lu Ping also read it carefully. Although the content was basic, it was still very useful for him who had never learned martial arts.

After all, the martial arts secrets given by the system did not involve basic knowledge. He practiced corresponding operations such as "letting internal energy flow through XX acupoints when practicing martial arts."

There is plenty of time today and the weather is good, so Lu Ping uses the peach blossoms he collected some time ago to make himself a pot of peach blossom tea, and then continues to read the books in his home collection in the yard.

In a world without mobile phones, this is the only thing he can do to entertain himself.

He planned to finish reading the last half of the "Famous Jianghu Book" today and try to collect the reward for the main quest again today.

…In a teahouse at the foot of Black Wind Mountain, several figures sat around a table, having a small meeting.

These people were none other than the erhu player Lao Wu, who was sent by the No. 1 Village in the World to suppress the bandits and who was about to retire after completing his mission, and his teammates.

"All the troops in the mountain stronghold have been ambushed. What's the situation on your side?"

"Sorry, something went wrong on the mission."

"Did those bandit leaders run away?"

Old Wu shook his head and said, "No, someone intervened and defeated the bandit leader in Taiping Town, causing all the traps and plans we prepared to go in vain..."

"Oh? Which hero is passing by?" Several people looked at Lao Wu.

Old Wu smiled slightly, took a sip from the teacup in front of him and said, "It's not a passing ranger, but a sixteen-year-old boy in the town."

"Boy?! Sixteen years old?!"

"The strength of those two bandits is not simple. Even people like us don't dare to say that we can easily win. When did Taiping Town have such a martial arts genius?"

"Who knows? I heard from the innkeeper that they don't know how that guy trained..."

"Forget it. Everyone has their own fate. Why bother? Now that the mission has been accomplished, we should go back and report."

"Should we report this matter to the owner?"

"What are you thinking? Of course you have to tell the truth!"

……

The development of fate is always full of surprises.

Lu Ping didn't know that because of his help last night, his identity information would soon be exposed in the world's number one village.

He also did not expect that just half a day into his leisurely life, troublesome business would come knocking on his door.

Boom boom boom...!!!
The hurried knock on the door indicated that there was business coming.

Whether it was his original self or himself, Lu Ping had never been very sociable, so he would not have any friends visiting him. The only type of people who would come to disturb him were clients who came to ask him for help.

Lu Ping doesn't work on his days off, but he does take orders.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Ping found that the person coming was an old acquaintance.

"Mr. Zheng? What brings you here?"

The Mr. Zheng standing at the door is one of the top three richest people in Taiping Town, and his family is in the antique business.

Lu Ping was his son's math tutor, so the two often interacted with each other.

"Oh no! Something terrible has happened! Brother Lu, you must help me this time!"

He didn't know whether his son was naughty and broke the antiques again, or his concubine was acting coquettishly and asking for money again. Anyway, Mr. Zheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"What happened? Come in and tell me slowly."

"There was a little thug who came out of nowhere and set up a scheme for me and everyone in the town. He used a penny to steal all our treasured antique calligraphy and paintings!!"
