Ch 9: Martial Arts

One punch to break the stone!

It was a real stone lion, with a height of two meters, finely crafted and majestic.

Just like that, he was punched in the head.

The gravel collapsed and flew!

But the next scene was even more shocking. After the man smashed the lion's head with one punch, when he saw the opponent move away, he simply used both hands, picked up the stone lion, and threw it at the opponent.

He didn’t even have a hulk like physique! Although he was kind of burly. Moreover, he wasn’t strained at all when doing this incredible feat.

"What a great power!"

Xun Xie's breathing stopped. This was definitely an extraordinary power, even a 20-year ‘gymbro’ or pro wrestler can’t compare. Perhaps some freaks of nature and sumo wrestlers could compare but it had to said that those were the upper limit! Mass and weight were also key, but that person wasn’t that bulky or heavy.

To top it off, lifting something for a few seconds and ‘holding’ it and then throwing something a decent distance were very different concepts.

Putt!

The stone lion smashed out violently, slammed to the ground, rolled forward, and rolled forward, very fast, plowing a deep ditch on the ground.

Unfortunately, there was an unlucky ghost who didn't have time to run away and was crushed by a stone lion. Or to be more accurate, he ran but was too slow!

Poof!

Xun Xie watched helplessly as a large living person was crushed and his flesh was flying. Reinforcing his idea of extraordinary power, the force left over from lifting it was still so horrifying!

However, Xun Xie was not in the mood to sympathize with him, because he was still standing on the street.

See this bloody scene.

Xun Xie shuddered, dragged the donkey hastily, and ran into a narrow alley to hide, not daring to watch the fun anymore.

The fight seemed to last more than ten minutes.

Xun Xie waited until there was no more movement and saw that someone was on the street again, and then he went back to the street.

Looking around, two adjacent shops collapsed, and there were a few more fist-sized holes in a thick courtyard wall across the street, which seemed to be punched out with one punch. It was only now he realized some mismatched bricks and signs of repair on other buildings.

Clearly, this wasn’t that rare.

On the street, there was a man covered in blood.

One of his arms was fractured, and the broken bone protruded from under the skin, exposing it to the outside, looking extremely penetrating and horrible.

This person is obviously the loser, and the person is already in a coma.

The winner did not stay on the scene after winning and walked away.

There were more and more people on the street, looking at the injured from a distance and talking in a low voice.

Xun Xie was in the crowd eavesdropping.

The two sentences that he heard the most talked about are:

"Teacher Lin's apprentice lost", "Teacher Fang's apprentice won."

Not long after, two strong young men in short cloth jackets came running over, and together they carried the injured away.

The excitement was over, everyone seemed to be busy with their own work as if nothing had happened.

As for the passerby who died tragically...

A woman with a big ass came running with a fat snotty child, slumped in the bloody place, and wailed loudly.

Then, another white-haired grandmother also came. Looking at the corpse that was crushed on the ground, she couldn't see any personal appearance at all. She was crying in despair and cursed the sky and earth.

For this scene.

Most of the people around looked uncomfortable, shook their heads, and sighed, and a few people stepped forward to comfort them, but there were also some people who gathered together, as if no one else was there, discussing the fight just now.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

Xun Xie observed carefully and found that almost half an hour had passed since the fighting began, and no one from the government has come.

In fact, he has always wanted to know what the structure of this world is like, is it like in ancient times, is it in a certain dynasty or empire and a certain generation, who is the emperor, how big is the territory, and where is he specifically...

A series of questions.

However, compared to these questions, Xun Xie is more concerned about another miracle at the moment—

The powerful "martial arts" deeply attracted him!

"One day, I might meet a man-eating Bodhisattva." Xun Xie thought to himself, "If I have mastered the peerless martial arts, I should have no problem escaping or..hang up and beat it? Probably not, the land god was so afraid and he used to be a martial artist…"

Thoughts are mixed.

Xun Xie became more and more looking forward to seeing that Hu Piao.

He walked to a food stall where a couple was selling bean curd and beef honey skewers.

Xun Xie tied the donkey aside and sat on the empty table.

The male boss looked at him, first asked him if he had money holding back the dirty looks barely, and only then did he smile when he saw Xun Xie took out a few coins.

A large bowl of bean curd brain, two beef honey skewers.

Xun Xie took a mouthful of curd brain, which was smooth and refreshing, with a strong aroma.

This is probably the real taste of non-GMO, pesticide-free, natural organic crops, and it is delicious. Though it was likely just the particularity of this world. Propaganda may or may not have blown the ‘artificial’ out of proportion when it comes to ‘natural’ crops. Anyways none of that matters now.

"Uncle, I want to ask you something."

Xun Xie looked at the street vendor, "There is a man in town named Hu Piao. His martial arts are very high, have you heard of it?"

"Hu Piao, are you talking about Teacher Hu?" The street vendor laughed, "Teacher Hu is very famous, who has never heard of it."

Xun Xie was puzzled, "Are there many teachers in town?"

The vendor smiled and said: "Teachers, there are not many, there are only four in total, Fang, Feng, Hu, Lin, everyone calls them the four teachers, only they are qualified to accept apprentices and teach martial arts. Why do you ask for Coach Hu? do you want to worship him as a teacher and learn martial arts?"

"You guessed it." Xun Xie smiled, "Who is the most powerful among these four coaches?"

"It's hard to say, all the warriors who can become coaches are masters." The vendor said vaguely. He wasn’t a martial artist, how could he judge accurately, even if he did, what if the disciples heard him, he liked his head just where it was.

Xun Xie understood and asked, "Do you know where Teacher Hu's home is?"

The vendor pointed to the south of the town, "Go to the 'Broken Wind Square' and find someone to find out where the 'Hu Mansion' is. Everyone knows."

Xun Xie thanked him, but suddenly thought of something, and asked again, "Is there a Temple of the Earth in this town?"

The vendor thought for a while, "It used to be, but it was set on fire by someone. It happened a few years ago."

Xun Xie was thoughtful. Yin God huh…

He only met one, what was the broader situation for these deities…

After eating, Xun Xie left the stall and walked on the street.

‘I seem to have forgot to tell that young man that apprenticeship costs money. When that useless son of mine was learning he gouged out months of savings. Oh well, it's common sense, he should be fine. He can just go back home and return, or maybe his parents will say no after hearing. Coach Hu’s price was…’

“Boss two skewers!” Hearing a customer, the male store owner quickly forgot about Xun Xie.

Xun Xie walked and gazed, he noticed that the districts in the town are divided into blocks with "square" as the unit, including Treasure Rock Square, SummerCob Square, Greysack Square, Loveless Square and so on.

"The scale of Blue Grain Town is much larger than I imagined, and the population may be tens of thousands. Quite amazing for a period like this, no, astonishing for not even an emperor’s city"

This world was truly beginning to look amazing.

Sure enough, he was right to leave the temple, meat in his belly, and food for the eyes.

A thing called ‘adventure’ was fluttering in his chest.

Around the town, there is flat and fertile land and a lot of farmlands. This place is definitely a food producing area.

Xun Xie couldn't help but think about enclosing land in the town.

Stop-and-go, looking for a few passers-by to inquire, Xun Xie finally found the location of Broken Wind Square.

When he arrived at Broken Wind Square, he didn't need to find out where Hu's residence was, because Xun Xie heard the shots of "Hey, hey, ha, ha" from a distance.

Xun Xie followed the sound, stopped in front of a blue and white lacquer gate dotted with blue and white pearls, and looked up at the plaque.

A white tiger head on each door, holding bronze rings in their maws.

"Hu Mansion!"

Sure enough, this is Hu Piao's home.

The door is closed.

There was a roar from the door.

There were several children at the door, who were lying in front of the door and peeking in through the crack of the door.

Xun Xie also walked over to take a peek.

He saw that there was a spacious yard behind the crack of the door. Men and women were practicing the exercises, playing with each move. There were young people and old, young people about his age, all of them were sweating profusely.

Several of the people in the yard were burly, with a height of 1.8 and 1.9 meters. They had chiseled muscles like sculpture carvings all over their bodies, and their skin was pale like snow, yet they had an aura of wild beasts under the sun, full of vitality and majesty.

So many practicing in the same space seemed to create a lingering air of power and ruthlessness.

Xun Xie saw this and his heart was hot. How majestic!

The people in the yard practiced continuously for more than an hour before stopping and practicing those moves five or six times.

Xun Xie saw everything in his sparkling eyes.

After the drill, someone opened the door.

Seeing this, several children outside the door scattered in a hurry.

It was a young man with thick eyebrows who opened the door. When he saw that Xun Xie had not left, he frowned and said, "What are you doing, you want to stealthily learn martial arts?"

Xun Xie said, "I'm here to apprentice."

Looking at the youth, casually standing yet so intimidating. Muscles and height!

After observing so long everything looked genuine so he was determined to learn.

Particularly, those claw-like swipes combined with fists even make the air hiss!

The thick-browed youth looked at Xun Xie carefully, "Apprenticeship costs money, do you have any money with you?"

Xun Xie froze in his heart, of course, it cost money, he was so stupid and asked, "How much?"

The youth with thick eyebrows: "In the beginning, do you have two taels of silver every month?
