Alienated Martial Arts

"Fifth senior brother, the teacher just clicked on my tiger's mouth. First there was a burning pain, then I lost consciousness, and then there was a warm feeling. What's going on?"

On the way back, Wei Tao was still thinking about the wonderful feeling just now.

"This is the method of transferring Qi and blood that we use to get started with Red Line Boxing."

The fifth senior brother thought slowly and said, "When you can control the circulation of Qi and blood freely, you will have truly entered the door and can practice at a deeper level."

"Senior brother, how long does it usually take to meet the entry requirements?"

"This is not necessarily true. It's very fast. It's like the most talented senior brother. It's said that after being taught by the teacher, he was able to freely circulate his energy and blood in just one night. The second senior sister also only took a few days. Just get started and be successful.”

"There are also slow ones. There were many registered disciples before you. After working hard for several months, they were unable to meet the entry requirements. In the end, they had no choice but to leave the martial arts gym and find another way."

Wei Tao asked again, "Senior brother, how long will it take for you to be unable to meet the entry requirements before you have to leave the martial arts gym?"

"How long is the longest..."

The fifth senior brother said with some uncertainty, "It usually takes no more than half a year. In fact, even if you meet the entry requirements after five months of hard work, you are unlikely to be accepted as a formal disciple by the teacher. After all, it takes several months to get started, and the follow-up It’s basically impossible to achieve anything famous in practice.”

The fifth senior brother, named Peng Yue, stood out from a group of registered disciples last year and became one of the official disciples of Master Zhou who personally taught martial arts.

After an afternoon of contact, Wei Tao found that he seemed to have a rather honest and honest character, but because he was a bit dull and didn't like to talk, he gave people a cold and indifferent feeling.

The two chatted all the way without feeling bored, and soon they crossed most of the outer city and arrived near Wei Tao's residence.

Not long after entering a small alley, Wei Tao suddenly stopped and then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

Peng Yue frowned slightly, "Junior Brother Wei, do you know those two people just now?"

"I'm not afraid of Fifth Senior Brother's jokes. They just robbed me of my money yesterday..."

Before Wei Tao could finish his sentence, he felt the ground shake violently, and a strong wind roared past him.

A big cloud of dust stirred up.

When he came to his senses, fifth senior brother Peng Yue was already standing at the corner not far away, waving to him.

At his feet lay two men, one tall and one short. They were the same guys who had robbed him of two coins in the rain yesterday afternoon.

"Junior Brother Wei, what are you going to do with them?"

As the fifth senior brother Peng Yue spoke, he felt around the two of them and found all the money.

"We are Uncle Suo Qi's people, you..."

Click!

The tall man who spoke suddenly screamed, looking down at his abnormally twisted right leg, a layer of sweat instantly formed on his forehead.

The short man's face turned pale, "Spare my life, grandpa, please spare me!"

Click!

There was another crisp sound.

The shorter man's right leg received the same treatment.

The fifth senior brother stood up straight and spat on the ground, "You still ask for uncle Qi, I believe your ghost and don't even urinate and take photos. Are you such a coward worthy of being favored by uncle Qi?"

When he raised his head, he had a gentle and honest smile on his face, "Junior Brother Wei, they must be robbing your wallet."

Wei Tao subconsciously took the heavy money bag, thought about it, poured out all the money inside, and stuffed most of it into Peng Yue's hand.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. If Senior Brother hadn't followed me today, I'm afraid I would have been blackmailed by them again... Oh, yesterday they even said that they were members of the Hidden Sword Society."

Peng Yue lowered his head and looked at the broken silver and copper coins in his hand, and the smile on his face suddenly became more honest, and even a little shy, "Junior Brother Wei is out of sight now. Since we are already brothers in the same sect, we naturally have to work together in the same boat. , watch and help each other..."

Click!

Wei Tao's pupils shrank suddenly, and a stream of cold air rushed from his back to his forehead.

He held his breath and saw Peng Yue slowly retracting his feet. The two men on the ground, groaning in pain, tilted their heads to the side, and they were no longer breathing.

"Junior Brother Wei, I'm worried that they are really gangsters from some blind gang, and they will cause trouble for your family again."

Peng Yue scratched his head and seemed to be a little hesitant in his words, "So to deal with this kind of people, either don't do anything, or do it absolutely, eradicate the roots without leaving any future troubles."

Wei Tao listened silently, then looked up at the smiling fifth senior brother. In addition to the surprise in his heart due to the contrast between honest and ruthless, he was also shocked by seeing death for the first time.

It turns out that in this increasingly chaotic world, human life is really so worthless.

If he hadn't become a disciple, he might have died silently in a dark corner in the near future.

Even further, if Peng Yue hadn't sent him back tonight, it was still unknown whether he would be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Only strong power, power in every sense, can allow people to live safely and freely.

These two guys who had robbed him were killed on the spot just because they were weaker than the fifth senior brother. No one cared about who they were and what their past and experiences were.

A quarter of an hour later, Peng Yue watched him walk into the house, and suddenly waved his hand and said, "Junior brother Wei, where you live is too far away. I think you'd better move to a martial arts school. The teacher said that recently The outer city is a bit uneasy, and walking at night like this in the future will increase the chance of encountering danger, right?"

"But if you live in a martial arts school, you will have to pay another two taels of silver for accommodation and food every month. Junior brother, you have to prepare it in advance."

Wei Tao touched the wallet he just received and nodded thoughtfully.

…………………………

It's dawn.

Wei Tao dug his hands heavily into the iron sand in front of him, and brought up a cloud of smoke when he pulled it out.

A faint herbal scent penetrates the nostrils. This is medicinal powder mixed with iron sand. Combined with the potion applied every day, it can be more fully absorbed by the body.

This is already his thirtieth day at the Red Line Boxing Gym.

Stir-fry the medicine, stir up strength, apply medicine, and sense Qi and blood.

Repeating extremely boring exercises every day.

Perhaps because he was able to ensure food every day and circulate his energy and blood to strengthen his body, he had grown a lot taller than when he first became a disciple, and his muscles had gained shape, and he was no longer the thin and short appearance before.

During this period, the martial arts school quietly lost a few familiar faces and added a few new faces. Together with others, they were engaged in what Wei Tao called "scrubbing" external training.

Although he has not yet met the requirements for entry into Red Line Boxing, Wei Tao feels that he has benefited a lot after a period of training.

At least his body is much stronger than when he first started, especially his hands. Under the combined action of constant scrubbing and potion, he has developed a thick layer of cocoon and can easily break a brick.

In addition, physical changes are also closely related to the food provided by the martial arts studio at noon.

The big pot of stew didn't really taste that good, but it was much better than what I had eaten at home before.

In particular, you can often eat meat here, and it is still a large piece of fat, so that Wei Tao, who is in the period of growth and development, has received sufficient nutritional supplements.

After scrubbing in the middle of the morning, Wei Tao cleaned his arms by the well, then went to the stone lock not far away to start today's strength training.

A month has passed, and he still hasn't touched the entrance standard of Red Line Boxing. Although there is still a long time before the deadline set by the martial arts gym, this situation of no actual progress no matter how hard he works, still makes people feel very disturbed. pressure.
