Chapter 10, Recognition

Although Zheng Haotian is limited by his experience, the power of this set of martial arts is not particularly strong. If he were to compete against Yu Weihua and Lin Ting at this moment, he would certainly face more defeats than victories. However, as long as he continues to train, the power of this martial art will grow increasingly stronger. Only by cultivating true energy in the future can he truly unleash the full potential of this martial art.

Although Zheng Chenglian is not a hunter, but rather a carpenter, Zheng Haotian is no exception either

In the morning, I practice martial arts; in the afternoon, I learn carpentry skills from my father; in the evening, I read the family heirloom.

Yu Jiansheng once stated that he indeed possesses the talent for practicing internal martial arts. However, talent does not equate to everything; without sufficient effort, one will similarly be unable to learn martial skills

The wind of the fist howls, the body moves like a swimming dragon. Zheng Haotian's movements are simple and clear, yet each punch and each stance seems to embody an inexplicable power

The expressions on the faces of the three individuals were markedly different, yet all were filled with surprise

However, Zheng Haotian brought him an even greater surprise. From this set of simple boxing techniques, Yu Jiansheng sensed a formidable aura. This is the essence of boxing, the true meaning within the art of boxing

Indeed, only by entering the mountains in groups like them can the level of danger be minimized. If Daling Village did not unite as a whole but instead sent each household separately into the mountains for hunting, then aside from a few individuals like Yu Jiansheng, most would not be able to guarantee a safe return.

Yu Jiansheng laughed heartily, pointed at the three of them, and said: "Whether you can become hunters depends on your own efforts. However, I am looking forward to it. If our village has three more hunters, heh heh, I wonder which village would dare to come and bully us again..."

There are many bears on Bear Wolf Mountain, and this time they hunted a grizzly bear

This danger does not solely stem from the dominant creatures in Bear and Wolf Mountain, namely bears and wolves; in addition, there are many other things that can be lethal.

Yu Jiansheng nodded slowly, not concealing the joy on his face, and said with a smile: "Haotian, you have practiced well. From now on, you will learn the internal martial arts with those two alongside me."

Compared to half a month ago, Zheng Haotian's movements have become quite standardized and regulated

This condition naturally brought great joy to everyone; what Zheng the carpenter crafted was indeed money. As long as they spread the word, people from the city would automatically come with silver to purchase it.

After Yu Jiansheng and others returned, they quickly heard from their respective wives about Zheng Chenglian's conditions. Without hesitation, they sent the large bear to the Zheng family.

At that time, I feared that I would no longer be a match for this young man myself

After all, the name "Xionglang Mountain" is not without reason

The people in the mountains are simple and also understand gratitude. If it had not been for the traps set by Zheng Chenglian in Daling Village last time, they would have likely faced a catastrophic disaster.

Zheng Haotian looked down and was surprised to see a tiny squirrel lying inside, one that had not even opened its eyes.

Zheng Haotian's eyes lit up, and he responded loudly.

Although Lin Ting is one year younger than Yu Weihua, his eloquence far surpasses that of his peers

At this moment, within their still tender hearts, there were no grand ambitions; the only thought was to become hunters, to transform into men like the village chief, and to forever protect their village

Since the day he saw the look of disappointment on his son's face, Zheng Chenglian no longer prepared pork for him, but instead began to purchase bear meat from the other families in the village

This is what I caught on the mountain; Father promised I could keep it. The mountains are really fun. " Yu Weihua stammered a couple of times, nudged Lin Ting, and said: "You speak now.

Lin Ting is not wrong; the mountains are indeed a dangerous place. However, the mountains are also a good place for honing one's skills. Yu Jiansheng strode over and said: "Only children who grow up in the mountains are qualified to become true hunters"

What puzzled him was that his son had an obsessive love for bear meat, seemingly never feeling disgusted no matter how much he ate

Yu Jiansheng nodded and said, "I just visited your home. Your father mentioned that you have been practicing diligently for the past half month. Now, perform the introductory long fist for me to see."

He vaguely felt that by the time he turned eighteen, his father would provide him with a satisfactory answer

Zheng Haotian paid no attention to the adults' matters; he pulled Yu Weihua and Lin Ting to the playground, eagerly asking them about their hunting experience

In summary, life in the mountains is indeed splendid, far surpassing that at the foot of the mountain; however, without a certain level of strength, the depths of the mountains can also become a burial ground for humanity

Zheng Haotian threw a punch, his body moving with the fist, stepping forward, and in an instant, he had already executed this introductory boxing technique.

Are there really such magical things described in books in this world

In fact, the experience of entering the mountains is not as enjoyable as Zheng Haotian imagined; rather, it can be described as quite tense and monotonous, and it is also fraught with danger

In the realm of the mountains, the book "The King of the Mountains" suggests that while bears and wolves may not provoke a large group, they become a death warrant for solitary humans

However, Zheng Haotian was naturally unaware of this; his daily life gradually developed a new fixed routine.

Hidden in the shadows are venomous snakes, accompanied by deadly killer bees, more formidable than bears and wolves, as well as fierce beasts like tigers and leopards that do not act in unison

With a faint smile, Lin Ting did not decline and briefly recounted the experience of entering the mountain this time

Certainly, in addition to various dangerous creatures, some plants are also renowned for their lethal qualities

Yu Weihua and the two others simultaneously clenched their fists, their gazes directed towards the distance.

Zheng Haotian's expression changed slightly upon hearing this; Lin Ting's statement shattered his longing and fantasies about the mountains.

If everything goes smoothly during this expedition into the mountains, the rewards will undoubtedly be significant

Moments later, Zheng Haotian finished his series of punches and stood still, his gaze piercing as he looked at the village chief

Xionglang Mountain is rich in resources; in addition to wildlife, it also boasts wild fungi, mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, various mountain fruits, and medicinal herbs among others

Under the watchful eyes of Yu Jiansheng and the other two, Zheng Haotian did not show any signs of fear. He stepped into the center of the playground, his fists resting at his sides. With a light shout, he took a step forward and unleashed a powerful punch.

The expressions of Yu Jiansheng and the other two grew increasingly astonished, especially Yu Jiansheng himself, whose eyes were filled with an unmistakable ecstasy.

Although Yu Weihua had previously accompanied his father into the mountains privately, that was merely a brief excursion, returning on the same day. This time, however, they followed the main group and stayed in the mountains for a full half month, resulting in a vastly different experience during that period

Seven days later, Yu Jiansheng and others finally returned from the mountains

"Is it fun on the mountain and are there books?" Zheng Haotian asked with bright eyes full of longing

It is truly remarkable that, after only one round of instruction, one can completely master these actions within a span of half a month

No matter which of these things they encounter, it will bring them tremendous trouble. Fortunately, they are numerous and powerful; as long as they act cautiously, there are not many creatures bold enough to provoke them

Although the faces of these two young men bore a hint of undeniable fatigue, their spirits remained equally high.

The last harvest of over thirty black bears brought great fortune to everyone in the village, and they were all deeply grateful to Zheng Chenglian. Upon hearing that he needed bear meat, they promptly sent over the cured meat without a second thought

With so much material at hand, Zheng Chenglian naturally spared no expense, preparing bear meat for his son at every meal

"Village Chief." Zheng Haotian quickly stood up and bowed to Yu Jiansheng in greeting

Only by studying the internal martial arts can one hope to become a hunter like the village chief in the future; otherwise, no matter how powerful one's skills may be, one can only remain a mere hunter

Pity the hearts of parents everywhere. Since he discovered his son's peculiar hobby, Zheng Chenglian convened discussions with each household. In the future, if a black bear were caught, he proposed that each family contribute a portion to ensure a steady supply of meat for the Zheng family. In return, he promised to craft a piece of furniture for each household every month

Zheng Chenglian's emphasis on the classic texts far exceeded Zheng Haotian's imagination. He personally urged his son to memorize the contents word for word. He even insisted that the illustrations of plants and animals depicted within must be drawn accurately without any omissions.

Zheng Chenglian's demands are not excessive, and he has also agreed to the generous conditions set by hetushu.com, so naturally, no one would raise any objections

This matter naturally serves the needs of all parties involved, resulting in mutual satisfaction

Zheng Haotian, with a joyful expression, said: "Village Chief, will I be able to become a hunter like you in the future?"

On this return trip, in addition to harvesting some yam and small game, the greatest gains were a bear and three wolves

A burst of hearty laughter suddenly erupted from behind them

As for bear meat and the like ...? ... Since this place is called Bear Wolf Mountain, would there be a shortage of bears in the mountain?

The children at the foot of the mountain have a longing and love for the mountains that far surpasses that of those in the city. For these young ones, their greatest wish is to grow up quickly so that they can accompany their elders into the mountains for hunting

Zheng Haotian found it very strange; he could not understand why his father was so concerned about these ethereal and seemingly useless things

A faint sound of tearing air resonated from his fist; although this sound was subtle, it was remarkably clear to the ears of Yu Jiansheng and the other two.

There are truly many things on the mountain. Yu Weihua gestured animatedly, saying, "Those who have never been there can never imagine the benefits of the mountains." He turned around a backpack behind him and said, "Look at this."

Their return naturally sparked a cheer among the villagers, although the remaining women, children, and the elderly all knew that under the leadership of the experienced Yu Jiansheng, they were unlikely to encounter any life-threatening dangers. However, each ascent to the mountain was a torment for them, and only upon seeing their loved ones return safely would they truly feel at ease.

In the blink of an eye, another seven days have passed. During these seven days, Zheng Haotian's life has remained quite comfortable.

For the past half month, he has practiced diligently every day, all for this very day
