Martial Arts in a Troubled World: It Starts with Peeping at the Neighbor's Sister

"My boss, Xu Xiong, killed him."

When Xu Hua heard this, he was slightly shocked. Sure enough, Li Zui's family of three was killed by him. During the day, Xu Xiong pretended to go to Li Zui's house to check on the situation.

This beast.

He even spared women and children, and even insulted Li Zui's daughter-in-law Wang Hui.

"Why did Xu Xiong want to kill Li Zui? Didn't he know that Li Zui belonged to Lin Yuan?"

"Of course Xu Xiong knows that he not only wants to kill Li Zui, but also Bai Zhan and Gao Tang, because these two are also Lin Yuan's right-hand men, and by the way, there is also the new kid named Xu Hua."

Sure enough, Xu Hua and Xu Hua guessed well that Xu Xiong was not just targeting Brother Li Zui, but a group of them.

"Is Xu Xiong so brave?"

Zhang Long swallowed, "Because the forest removal plan was arranged by Mr. Qi."

"Then when Lin Yuan comes back, he can't find Qi Guan?"

"I'm afraid Master Lin won't be able to come back. Master Qi and Zhao Zhen and others ambushed Master Lin who came back from Qiu Shan and Feng Buping. Xu Xiong is responsible for cleaning up Master Lin's people."

Hearing this, Xu Hua guessed correctly. It was indeed the case.

As expected, he was involved in the struggle between Lin Yuan and Qi Guan.

As soon as Li Zui died, Xu Xiong was going to attack the three of them next. The three of them were stone-skinned, and Xu Xiong was iron-skinned. Even iron-skinned Li Zui was no match for Xu Xiong, which showed that Xu Xiong was very powerful.

Zhang Long immediately said: "Sir, I have said everything that needs to be said, can you let me go?"

"No!" Xu Hua took off his hat and black mask.

Zhang Long looked at Xu Hua and his expression changed, "You are Xu Hua!!!"

"That's right." Xu Hua showed a fierce look, and the dagger in his hand pierced Zhang Long's neck, pulled out the dagger, and kicked Zhang Long away.

Zhang Long rolled to the ground and covered his neck with his hands, but it was of no avail and he soon lost his breath.

Xu Hua searched for 300 copper coins in Zhang Long's room and then left.

…

When Xu Hua returned home, his expression was extremely cold. Unless Xu Xiong was killed, the crisis would not be resolved.

But he is no match for Xu Xiong.

Xu Hua opened the data panel.

[System type: One-click upgrade]

[Host: Xu Hua]

[Age: sixteen]

[Cultivation: Skin Refining (Stone Skin)]

[Upgrade points: 0]

[Arm strength: 1100]

[Martial skills: Qianniu Palm Perfection, Black Tiger Fist (Perfection), Jinyan Kung Fu (Dacheng), Fragment Opening Hand (Dacheng)]

[Auxiliary Skill: Diving Breathing Technique (Perfection)]

Looking at the data panel, I must at least improve the Jin Yan Gong and the residual Open Heaven Hand to a perfect level to be able to compete with Xu Xiong.

If you want to kill Xu Xiong, you must at least practice the Stone Skin Technique to perfection.

In other words, if the three stone skin techniques are perfect, killing Xu Xiong will not be a big problem.

Xu Hua let out a breath.

It won't be a big problem to get another stone skin method. It shouldn't be a big problem to go to Bai Zhanhe or Gaotang and get one.

But to perfect all martial arts skills, a lot of upgrade points are needed.

In other words, it requires a lot of money.

Grass!

So poor!

…

Early the next morning, Xu Hua got up early and went to Gao Tang and Bai Zhan.

Seeing that Gao Tang and Bai Zhan were okay, Xu Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Bai, Brother Gao, nothing happened last night."

The two shook their heads: "It's okay, little brother Xu, there is nothing wrong with you."

Xu Hua shook his head: "It's nothing."

"It seems that Li Zui was killed by external forces." Bai Zhan said.

Xu Hua did not tell the two of them the plan to eliminate Lin, and there was no need to tell them. The most important thing now was for him to improve his strength, preferably within a day or two.

Because there was no telling when Xu Xiong would take action against them.

Maybe tonight?

Or maybe tomorrow night?

Now Xu Hua is racing against time. Only by improving his strength one more point can his safety be guaranteed.

Similarly, if his strength improves, the lives of Gao Tang and Bai Zhan will be safe.

Although Xu Hua had known them not long ago, they were quite nice to him. The fat man Li Zui was also very nice to him. The death of Li Zui's family of three

It made him want to kill Xu Xiong as soon as possible.

After Xu Hua, Gao Tang, and Bai Zhan finished their duties.

Xu Hua glanced at Gao Tang and said, "Brother Gao, let's learn from each other."

Gao Tang nodded: "Okay."

Gao Tang took a stance and turned his palms into swords. What he was practicing was Splitting the Air Palm.

Xu Hua sparred with Gao Tang using his Kaitian Shou. Of course, Xu Hua held back his strength. If he really wanted to fight, Xu Hua could do it within ten moves.

He defeated Gao Tang in seconds. After all, Gao Tang was a Shipi cultivator with an arm strength of up to 800 kilograms.

After the sparring session, Xu Hua showed a smile: "Brother Gao's air-splitting palm is indeed exquisite."

Gao Tang shook his head and said with a smile: "Little brother Xu, what I have achieved with the Sky Splitting Palm is far inferior to the Open Sky Hand. Besides, I can only practice the Sky Splitting Palm to the stone skin level. Master Lin's Open Sky Hand is well-deserved. After you have practiced for a few years, you can ask Mr. Lin to take away the training part behind Kai Tianshou. You are only sixteen or seventeen years old, and you entered the Iron Skin at the age of twenty. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you have good talent. "

Bai Zhan on the side also said: "That's true. Twenty years old, Tiepi, although his talent is not as good as Feng Buping's, it's not far behind. He has a bright future."

Hearing the two bragging about themselves, Xu Hua smiled a little and said: "The two eldest brothers have given you the award."

Then Xu Hua looked at Gao Tang. He practiced with Gao Tang not to improve his own strength, but to learn the splitting palm that Gao Tang practiced.

Although this martial art is not as good as the opening hand, if he gets this martial art, the three martial arts will be perfected, and his arm strength will definitely increase.

It will not be a problem to deal with Xu Xiong.

"Brother Gao, to be honest, I am very interested in your splitting palm. Can I practice your splitting palm?"

Gao Tang was stunned, "Are you interested in my splitting palm?"

"Yes, I am very interested."

"Okay."

Gao Tang was not stingy and took Xu Hua to his house. Gao Tang took out a secret book from a drawer, which was the splitting palm.

"Xu Xiaobrother, please copy it."

Xu Hua quickly copied the splitting palm.

"Thank you, Brother Gao, for the palm method." Xu Hua said.

The elder brother waved his hand, "Xu Xiaoxiong, it's too formal to say these things. This splitting palm is not a valuable secret book. You just need to practice it well."

Then Xu Hua walked out of his elder brother's house. With the splitting palm in hand, the next step is to quickly obtain upgrade points.

Xu Hua needs a lot of money to buy medicinal materials.

If the three martial arts are fully upgraded, at least 1,500 copper coins are needed.

He got 300 copper coins from Zhang Long and saved 200 copper coins for himself, a total of 500 copper coins, which is far from enough. There is still a shortage of 1,000 copper coins.

Now the crisis is coming, and the beast Xu Xiong will attack the three of them at any time.

Looking for the elder brother and Bai Zhan?

The wages of these two people are not high. Basically, they spend their wages on eating and drinking, and occasionally they have to buy medicinal materials to practice martial arts.

In an instant, Xu Hua thought of a way...
