Chapter 7: Choosing a Teacher

A moment of astonishment swept over the group, and all eight masters were taken aback, including the stern Zhao Yunxing, who raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.

With a loud shout, Man Dong effortlessly hurled the massive green stone into the air with both hands

Practicing external skills, whether it be training the fingers and claws, or the legs and feet, results in noticeable differences in the respective areas compared to ordinary individuals. For instance, those who cultivate claw techniques tend to have thicker fingers and more calluses, and even Bo does not regard such individuals with any respect.

In a moment, the sound of footsteps echoed outside, and Qin Yu, with a hint of excitement on his face, rushed in. Upon seeing the eight great masters before him, Qin Yu's eyes instantly lit up.

Man Dong placed the one-legged bronze figure on the ground and immediately set his eyes on the enormous bluestone used for decoration in the Western Garden. The bluestone was nearly half a person tall and appeared to weigh at least a thousand pounds. Man Dong then walked over and grasped both sides with his hands.

Start

I understand. Qin Yu nodded

Suddenly, Qin Yu felt even more excited in his heart

Hmph

"But I am studying external skills, aren't I?" Qin Yu retorted

Suddenly, a glimmer of cunning flashed in Qin Yu's eyes, and Lian Yan's heart skipped a beat. He was well aware that although Qin Yu had a good heart, he also enjoyed playing pranks and jokes. The guards and servants of Yunwu Mountain Villa had not been spared from his mischief.

Moreover, in addition to this reason, there is an even more important reason.

I naturally know this. Everything depends on Xiaoyu's own choice said Lian with a smile

"Ahem." Lian Yan coughed lightly, and then spoke earnestly to Qin Yu, "Xiao Yu, practicing martial arts is not the same as studying. You can have several teachers for your studies, but it is not the same for learning martial arts. For instance, if you try to learn several types of internal skills at the same time, it could lead to disastrous consequences."

Zhao Yunxing! So it is General Zhao. I never expected that the prince would be willing to invite you, General Zhao. If Xiaoyu could become your disciple, it would not be difficult for him to become a master in the future. " Lian Bo said with a smile, and he was also quite familiar with Zhao Yunxing.

"Uncles and grandfathers, I heard from Grandpa Lian that you are masters of external martial arts, and he suggested that I choose you as my teachers. However, you should also perform a demonstration so that I can make my choice, right?" Qin Yu blinked his big eyes, looking at the eight external martial arts masters.

He firmly planted his feet, extended both hands, and grasped the bluestone with both hands.

Man Dong chuckled and casually remarked: "I, Man Dong, can lift 800 pounds with one hand; with both hands combined, isn't it just a piece of cake to exceed a thousand pounds?" Man Dong possesses extraordinary strength and is one of the three top external martial arts experts of the Fierce Tiger Army, nicknamed "Man Bear"

"Impressive." Qin Yu's eyes widened.

Lian Yan casually nodded and cast a glance at the eight external martial arts masters, including the so-called Eagle Claw King and others, without pausing his gaze on any of them for even a second.

The cold and stern man in black suddenly raised his head and exchanged a glance with Lian Bo, his eyes flashing like a bolt of lightning.

Qin Yu carefully observed each of the eight great masters, the most striking among them being a giant man resembling a bear. His massive arms were comparable in thickness to Qin Yu's waist, and with a single punch, Qin Yu had no doubt about the power it would unleash

This man cannot be considered strong; his muscles are not as developed as those of others, and his hands show no calluses, making him appear nothing like a master of external martial arts. However, Lian Bo's gaze lingered on this man in black for a full three seconds.

The eight masters of external skills this time are all exceptionally formidable, and each of these eight individuals has reached a level that can be considered as masters of external skills. Any choice made by Qin Yu would be commendable; however, Lian Yanxin secretly hopes that Qin Yu will choose Zhao Yunxing, as Lian Yan knows the formidable abilities of Zhao Yunxing.

A lean man with a hooked nose stepped forward and said, "What I practice is the Iron Sand Palm." Qin Yu looked at the man's palm, which indeed appeared unusual, rougher than normal, and even took on a bluish hue. The hooked-nose man then walked directly to the青石 and suddenly struck down with a powerful palm.

Man Dong let out a cold snort, and Qin Yu was astonished to see a visible breath emanating from Man Dong's nostrils. He observed that Man Dong's arms were bulging with muscles, twisting like intertwined earthworms, and the muscle lines resembled those carved from rock, containing a terrifying divine power.

External skills are even less effective. External skills involve physical training, pushing the body to continuously break through its limits. Every expert in external skills has their own set of methods, which have been tested by countless practitioners, ensuring that you will not overstrain your body as a result. However... if you learn from several teachers at the same time, and those various methods are mixed together, then... " Lian Yan shook his head and sighed, his meaning was evidently clear.

"Choose one? Can't I select all eight?" Qin Yu looked at Lian Yan, furrowing his brows in confusion as he asked.

The blue stone suddenly trembled, and then it actually shattered with a loud bang, breaking into dozens of large pieces. Such a display of power was truly terrifying.

These eight individuals are all masters of external martial arts, each possessing a strong sense of pride and unwilling to share a disciple with others. However, upon hearing Qin Yu's words, none of the eight paid any attention, after all, he is merely an eight-year-old child

Qin Yu was dumbfounded; the massive stone, which was already terrifyingly difficult to lift, was actually thrown into the air by this barbarian. The strength in his hands was undoubtedly over a thousand pounds. The stone soared one or two meters high before crashing down heavily.

The blue stone fell, and the force acting on Mandong's hands exceeded its own weight; however, Mandong still held it steadily, demonstrating the remarkable strength he possessed

"Lian Bo, this time the eight top external martial arts experts are all first-rate. There are four from the military, and the other four are also exceptionally skilled external martial artists from the three prefectures of the Eastern Region. Look, that silver-haired old man is the Eagle Claw King, and..." The deputy manager Li from the Wang residence, who is leading the team, said to Lian Yan, with a hint of flattery in his tone.

"Xiao Yu, choose one of these eight great external martial arts masters to be your teacher," Lian Yan said with a smile.

Not far from the Xiyuan Hot Spring, there is a training ground where a considerable number of people are currently gathered

"Impressive, impressive, who else? And the books" At this moment, Qin Yu became excited. How could he not be thrilled upon witnessing such a performance? The thought of possessing such strength in the future made him even more exhilarated. However, Qin Yu was unaware that Man Dong was born with divine strength, and it would be difficult for him to train to that level.

"Haha, that makes sense. Let me perform a bit. What should I showcase? I have quite a few impressive skills. " The largest man among the eight, a bear-like figure, stepped forward, holding a one-legged copper figure in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Alright, I will demonstrate my strength."

Isn't that so? How can one choose without a demonstration

"None of us eight are likely to be willing to share a disciple with others," said a robust bald man with a smile, as the others nodded in agreement with smiles.

Oh? Lian Bo's eyes suddenly brightened as he fixed his gaze on the last of the eight, a cold and stern man dressed in black

Qin Yu stared in shock at the cold, hawk-nosed man, realizing the immense power behind his palm strike. If such force were to land on a person, who could withstand it

Zhao Yunxing's face remained stern: "The prince has said that whoever the Third Prince chooses as a teacher will be the one selected, depending on the prince's judgment. Even the seniors should not secretly remind the prince, otherwise... even if he chooses Yunxing, Yunxing will not accept him as a disciple"
