Chapter 0003: Prime Time Drama of Love and Rivalry in the Aristocracy

A young man, accompanied by four bodyguards, dressed in designer brands and exuding arrogance, was boasting loudly. Opposite him stood a handsome and striking figure, with refined features and a robust physique, displaying an air of elegance and confidence, clearly a super handsome man, who looked on with disdain. Beside this handsome man stood a stunningly beautiful young woman, resembling a delicate lotus flower, who appeared quite impatient.

Long Aotian readily agreed, his demeanor quite resolute. Bai Qige, upon witnessing this, appeared somewhat unconvinced.

That young master is the son of a major corporation, a typical third-generation rich kid. He is also a classmate of Tang Jiaorong and Long Aotian, possessing a deplorable character and a disregard for the law. He revels in a life of indulgence. Now, this young master has taken a liking to Tang Jiaorong and wishes to pursue her. Meanwhile, it seems that Tang Jiaorong has been exchanging glances with Long Aotian. This has led to a situation of jealousy and rivalry between them.

Very well, although the momentum is lacking and the passion is insufficient, these can all be compensated for. I will now impart to you the first move I have learned throughout my life: first, assume the stance of the Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg and the Great Peng Spreading Its Wings

In fact, this talent is not something mysterious. Bai Qige is still young and appears to be an ordinary student. His facial features are not particularly outstanding; he is neither fierce nor handsome, but can be described as quite delicate. His physique looks just like that of an average boy, and his muscle definition does not appear robust. If one does not examine him closely, it is difficult to discern his true abilities. These deceptively ordinary appearances, combined with a deliberately shy and polite smile, together construct the talent of a hidden one. This talent has helped him navigate many troubles in the Middle-earth world.

What he had seen before also made Bai Qige understand the eccentricities of this old man, so he complied and shouted: "The strong are born to defy the heavens!"

You actually believe the director's casual boasting? Last time, he confidently claimed that he would give his granddaughter to me as a fiancée

Beg for mercy? Surrender? Submit? No, I do not need any of that. Since we have already fought fiercely from opposing positions, only one side can survive, and it must be one side! To eradicate evil completely, to cut the grass without leaving the roots, for the spring wind will cause it to grow again—this ruthless stance is the fundamental principle for this small individual to secure his existence, and it is also his greatest gain in the Middle-earth world over the past three years

In simpler terms, regarding the books, there is now a Level 1 Yanhuang Martial Arts directory added to the status bar of the Tianming interface in Baiqi Song. Upon opening it, there are three items: Level 4 Basic Sword Techniques, Level 1 Basic Fist Techniques, and Level 1 Basic Footwork.

"Damn it, you actually dare to deceive me like this. I, Long Aotian, am a true man and will surely repay the humiliation of today"

"Have you not eaten? Speak louder, with more vigor, unleash all your passion, roar with your soul!"

You are fortunate; when I first arrived at the martial arts school, the director didn't even mention any reasons like the tenth anniversary. Instead, he insisted that I have an extraordinary physique and am a rare talent for martial arts, insisting on taking me as his disciple

Didn’t you say last time when I became your disciple that the martial arts school was celebrating its 20th anniversary? How has it now changed to the 10th anniversary!

Do you want to join our martial arts school to practice martial arts? This martial arts instructor seemed quite appreciative, and Bai Qige stated the reason she had already prepared: In a while, the school will hold a gala, and I plan to perform some martial arts, so I want to learn some martial arts and sword techniques

Regarding the dispute among Long Aotian, the Young Master, and Tang Jiaorong, Bai Qige could not be bothered to pay attention. However, as he casually glanced at the three of them, a virtual interface suddenly appeared in his line of sight

It is truly the spirit of youth among students. If I were that young master, I would never resort to such childish acts of revenge. I would simply hire someone to poison Long Aotian, using a whole bunch of female hormones to turn him into an impotent person with a gender transformation. I would just wait to see the couple turn into best friends. As for Long Aotian, at this moment, why are you still making a wager with the young master? This is a matter of pride; even if you win, what does it matter? If the root of the problem is not eliminated, the consequences will be endless.

Hmph, am I still afraid of you? Aren't you the president of the basketball club? In order to pursue Tang Jiaorong, you even specially joined Jiaorong's martial arts club as the vice president. How about this, let's have a double competition. The first match will be basketball, with each of us forming a team. If you lose, you will kneel on the ground in front of everyone and swear to give up pursuing Tang Jiaorong! If you win, I will compete with you in a martial arts arena match, giving you a chance for revenge. What do you say?

Stand on one leg, extend both arms like wings, and then shout loudly the slogan "The strong are born to defy the heavens!" This is the first lifelong lesson taught by Tang An to Bai Qige, a passionate slogan with both form and momentum

Within the martial arts school, there are distinct status differences based on each person's level of cultivation, categorized into three ranks: Tang Jiaorong's future boyfriend, her nominal current boyfriend, and her fiancé. To date, no one has been able to reach the level of Tang Jiaorong's husband, as no one has been able to graduate under the old master Tang An.

The young man has quite a good temper; you can tolerate the curator's peculiarities! After Tang An left, a martial arts instructor, intrigued, approached to chat. Bai Qige smiled and said, "This is nothing special."

Long Aotian shouted angrily, and after several rounds of sharp exchanges, the young master said with great satisfaction

After listening to the Baiqi song, I was not surprised by the melodramatic love triangle among the three individuals, but rather shocked by Zhao Liang's gossiping skills. To know the ins and outs of the situation to such an extent is indeed a remarkable talent

What is the situation over there

Indeed, it is nothing much. During my time in Middle-earth, feeling rather down, I took a knife to the streets and caught an old, weak woman and child, telling them not to move and allowing me to stab them a few times. Such a peculiar habit is truly life-threatening. In comparison, Tang An's quirk of wanting others to recite the sayings of the strong is already quite childish.

Then the old man, upon seeing Bai Qige, suddenly brightened his eyes, quickly walked over, and said in a voice like thunder: "Young man, are you here to sign up for martial arts training?"

The days of endless repetition do not seem monotonous; on the contrary, they are exceptionally splendid. Quietly honing oneself, quietly growing stronger, this feeling is captivating. During this period, Bai Qige's greatest gain has been the appearance of two pieces of data in the destiny interface message bar.

After several days of training, you have mastered Level 1 Basic Fist Techniques and Level 1 Basic Footwork! Additionally, under the guidance of a professional Yanhuang martial arts coach, you have acquired Level 1 Yanhuang Martial Arts, including Basic Sword Techniques, Basic Fist Techniques, and Basic Footwork, all integrated into Yanhuang Martial Arts

The young master was quite pleased with himself, boasting that Long Aotian should be careful and stay away from Tang Jiaorong; otherwise, they would fight every time they met in the future. Long Aotian, however, was extremely unwilling and filled with rage.

Those within the martial arts school may treat it as a joke, but if outsiders were to hear it, they would surely be astonished by who Tang Jiaorong really is, having over a hundred boyfriends and around ten fiancés. Moreover, these men can coexist harmoniously in the same room

After several days of training, your basic swordsmanship (Incomplete) has been upgraded to Basic Swordsmanship, and the skill level has increased by 1

Hmph, I will make you understand what is invincible despair

With the harvest, one naturally becomes more diligent. Bai Qige diligently studies and practices earnestly, and Zhao Liang seems to regard him with newfound respect, unable to resist imparting some genuine skills to Bai Qige. Fifteen days later, under Zhao Liang's hands-on guidance, Bai Qige practices the basic knife techniques with an extremely focused demeanor, holding a soft, flexible prop knife. Meanwhile, on the other side of the martial arts school, a quarrel and commotion can be heard.

The young master over there had a few disagreements with Long Aotian, which quickly escalated into a verbal conflict and then into a physical altercation. Long Aotian seemed to possess some martial skills, demonstrating a certain level of technique in both offense and defense. However, the young master had dispatched his professional bodyguards, all of whom were tall and strong, and well-versed in combat. In an instant, Long Aotian found himself at a disadvantage and was dealt several heavy blows. Had it not been for Tang Jiaorong's anger, as she scolded the situation and intervened to stop the fight, Long Aotian would undoubtedly have been beaten severely.

The purpose of Bai Qi Ge's visit was to learn martial arts. Naturally, he paid the fee promptly, processed his student ID, and then struck up a conversation with the martial arts instructor, who was named Zhao Liang. Bai Qi Ge, relying on his rich social experience, quickly assessed the situation and became familiar with him, referring to him as Brother Zhao.

Before Bai Qi could respond, he heard the martial arts instructors and some students nearby whispering to each other, murmuring in a flurry

Yes, may I ask who you are?

Bai Qi sang quietly to himself, his gaze somewhat unwholesome. He had been mingling in society for several years, spending much of his time at the bottom, having interacted with all walks of life. He had his own way of conducting himself and handling matters. His character was one of kindness towards others, and he was quite amiable. However, once enmity was formed, he would not act unless provoked; but once he did act, it would be with ruthless finality, as exemplified by his complete annihilation of the Four Tigers Gang.

Oh, you too? How many fiancés is the director trying to find for his granddaughter?

Bai Qi Ge heard these whispers and found it somewhat amusing yet exasperating. He did not expect that this old man's style was rather perverse. However, he indeed had some underlying needs for practicing martial arts, so he nodded in agreement.

Tang An, without further ado, pulled Bai Qige along to change into the martial arts training uniform. Immediately afterward, in a corner of the martial arts hall, Tang An proclaimed in a voice as loud as a bell: "Kid, the true essence of martial arts lies in passion and momentum. Come, I will teach you a move now; repeat after me: 'The strong are born to defy the heavens!'"

How many direct disciples does the master have now? Why do I feel like the entire martial arts school consists of his direct disciples

Bai Qi Ge witnessed this scene and drew two conclusions. The positive conclusion is that this martial arts school possesses genuine skills, but the negative conclusion is that the teaching style of this school is indeed concerning

Detected a causal intertwining node, beginning to materialize as a task to assist Long Aotian in winning the wager, reward task experience of 100 points, do you accept

To be honest, this evokes a sense of inexplicable shame, yet those around appear entirely unfazed. Some coaches and students even display expressions reminiscent of past regrets. Bai Qige then loudly repeated a phrase, and Tang An was quite pleased, perhaps because it had been too long since he encountered someone who could satisfy his peculiarities.

According to Tang An, mastering this move will bestow an unfathomable power, causing the enemy to feel a sense of trepidation even before the battle begins. Bai Qige can understand that if he encounters such an eccentric posture and a madman shouting slogans during combat, he would certainly be reluctant to engage, fearing the loss of face

Only after mastering the fundamental knife techniques did Bai Qige realize how absurdly wrong he had been in the past. The basic knife maneuvers—slicing, chopping, stabbing, and thrusting—each possess extraordinary subtleties. Breathing, footwork, posture, and power application techniques, when combined, constitute the true foundational knife techniques, capable of unleashing the knife's power to its fullest extent. In contrast, the knife techniques Bai Qige had previously practiced haphazardly were nothing more than childish play. Each strike he made not only failed to maximize his strength but also resulted in a loss of power due to incorrect application techniques. It is no wonder that the laws of the Destiny Interface only rated him at a residual level.

I am Tang An, the head of this Natural Martial Arts Academy! Young man, you are fortunate today, as it happens to be the tenth anniversary celebration of our academy. I am in a very good mood today and plan to take you as my disciple, my closed-door student, to impart to you the true essence of Yanhuang martial arts! As long as you study diligently, in the future, my legacy and my beautiful granddaughter will all belong to you!

Haha, young people, in order to show off and attract girls, speak so easily. However, it can be considered. You go pay www.hetushu.com for a month's martial arts training, and I will teach you!

Of course, it is clear that Tang Jiaorong is the granddaughter of the curator. Have you forgotten what the curator told you when you first joined? If you could diligently practice your martial arts, he would betroth Tang Jiaorong to you as your fiancée. Although no one took it seriously, seeing the real person would certainly draw more attention.

Tang An was quite satisfied, offering a few remarks and leaving behind some thought-provoking words. He gently stroked his frosty white beard and swayed away, leaving Bai Qige, who was left in a state of both laughter and tears. However, he felt somewhat reassured; just moments ago, Tang An, despite being an elderly man in his sixties, had managed to send a fully grown man flying through the air with a single punch. Such skill was not to be underestimated. He was also somewhat afraid that Tang An might uncover some of his secrets, but it seemed that his talent for concealment had indeed played a role.

The student shook his head vigorously, clearly showing no interest in practicing any passionate martial arts with the old man. Seeing this, the old man also lost interest, shook his head, and sighed: "The young people of today have no spirit like we did back in the day. Is it that my skills will be buried alongside this old man in the coffin?"

Ah, young one, you are quite perceptive. Very well, from this day forth, you shall be my closed-door disciple. Come, change your clothes, and I shall immediately impart all that I have learned throughout my life to you

After becoming familiar, it was only natural to engage in martial arts training under his guidance. With an eight-hour workday, it was natural to practice at the martial arts school for another four hours after work, and then return home for some personal training. This routine was simple yet fulfilling, and time passed day by day. The director, Tang An, did not appear frequently; when he did, it would cause chaos throughout the martial arts school, leaving both the coaches and students in disarray. Bai Qige was also dragged into training several times, experiencing the fervor and spirit of martial arts. However, aside from Tang An's peculiar sense of humor, his personality could be described as humorous and generous, making him quite easy to get along with. Thus, time continued to pass in this manner.

The young woman's name is Tang Jiaorong, the granddaughter of Tang An, possessing both beauty and grace. The handsome young man is named Long Aotian, a classmate of Tang Jiaorong at the same school. He claims to have been born into a common family, but according to Zhao Liang's assessment, he exudes an air of nobility in his every gesture, possibly a young master pretending to be humble in his white dragon robe.

Upon hearing Bai Qi's question, Zhao Liang's eyes immediately lit up, revealing his extraordinary talent for gossip. After a flurry of chatter, he clearly articulated the relationships and causal developments among the characters involved
