Chapter 10: Martial Arts School
Beyond the training area is the main hall of the martial arts school, which also serves as the reception hall for welcoming guests
In fact, with his current martial arts skills and talent, he has already thoroughly mastered this set of minor Linghe Fist yesterday, and has even improved and extended it into more routines and simplified killing techniques
Qi Feng arrived at the Linghe Martial Arts School, greeted the receptionist at the front desk, and then proceeded directly to the training area
Master, something is wrong, someone has come to challenge us
In the training area, there are approximately hundreds of young boys and girls, who are being led by several slightly older males and females in practicing martial arts
Yes, Master
Qi Feng spoke frankly and asked
Extraordinary individuals possess unimaginable energy and power in this world, and everyone aspires to become an extraordinary being who wields such powers, rather than merely being a backdrop trembling under the extraordinary force. It is a source of pride for all to become extraordinary beings.
Then lazily added, "Have you arrived?"
Therefore, the set of Linghe Fist he is practicing now is at most only slightly stronger than when he practiced it in the past
The old man's expression returned to calm as he waved his hand and said
Well
Qi Feng's expression shifted as he recalled the intelligence he had previously reviewed, and he couldn't help but ask
5000
Qi Feng was taken aback, unexpectedly
Senior brother Senior sister Junior brother Junior sister
Qi Feng skillfully flattered with a remark
In the center of the hall, there is a rocking chair where an old man with graying hair is lazily reclining, eyes closed, one hand holding a fan to cool himself, appearing very relaxed and comfortable
On the black market, 5,000 yuan can buy a brand new fully automatic rifle and a tactical handgun, along with two boxes of ammunition and spare firearm parts, plus several tactical grenades as a bonus
Yes, it has been resolved now, Qi Feng replied
Qi Feng greeted the several men and women who were leading apprentices in practicing martial arts in turn; some turned their heads to show a smile, while others nodded in acknowledgment
Just as I had left, I saw a junior brother rushing in in a state of panic
What can five thousand summer yuan buy
However, Qi Feng still maintained the respect that was due to the old man.
What the master said is true
Qi Feng did not hesitate and began to perform the Linghe Fist in front of Baishan
Oh dear... today's young people, whatever they learn, they do it impulsively. At best, they stick with it for ten or eight days, and at worst, just a few hours. There is no perseverance. One must understand that in this world, whatever one does requires longevity and patience. Don't you agree
Qi Feng silently complained in his heart, and then left
Hehe
Little did he know, the old man gave Qi Feng a deep look, curled his lips and said: "What are you thinking? 5,000 is not enough; it is 50,000!"
The old man waved his hand and then continued, "However, it is indeed the case, as the next step will involve the core martial arts of our martial arts school, which can provide you with the opportunity to become martial artists"
Hehe, it is all thanks to the master's excellent teaching
Call!
Therefore, Qi Feng did not have any thoughts because of his attitude, as he is just that way
He continued, "I originally thought that if you kept practicing martial arts, you wouldn't reach this level until next year. But now that I see it, you are already qualified. Are you interested in taking the next step?"
Good
Hey, you are quite straightforward, this number!
They all belong to the disciples under the old master, just like Qi Feng, who is a formally initiated practitioner of the Linghe Fist.
Master Brother
Chen Ming's temperament has been this way since Qi Feng got to know him; it has never changed. He approaches tasks methodically and with seriousness, and his personality is also characterized by a certain bluntness and straightforwardness
Qi Feng executed a complete set of Ling He Quan with precision and clarity, the wind of his punches swirling vigorously, exuding an impressive aura
Ah, I did not expect that your skills have not only not declined, but have instead become more refined. It can no longer be considered merely proficient; rather, it suggests a level of mastery that is quite remarkable.
Five thousand yuan is exactly the entirety of the hammer's wealth, all that he possesses now
It has been a long time since I last came here, where have you been playing?
However, countless individuals from the lower strata of society find themselves at a loss when it comes to seeking admission to academies or sects that can impart extraordinary knowledge. They can only settle for a second-best option, which is to send their children to martial arts schools to learn martial arts, provided they can afford the fees.
... ...
Qi Feng approached a tall and robust young man, whose expression was rather dull, and cupped his fists in greeting
Sister Weiwei has become even more beautiful recently
Master, the next step is the cultivation of the martial artist, correct
This has nothing to do with me; everyone learns the same, and I teach everyone the same as well. I have not given anyone any special treatment. Whether you learn well or poorly is entirely up to your own abilities
Although this is a martial arts school where payment is made upfront for instruction, it does not embody the kind of teacher-student relationship characterized by personal guidance and deep mentorship. Rather, it is a business, as evidenced by the fact that once the basic forms and fundamental techniques of Linghe Quan are taught, no further advanced instruction is provided.
He is not here to show off in front of the old man, but merely to repeat the trajectory of his own life
But what is Qi Feng here for
The old man did not hide anything, extending a hand.
"Since it is rare for you to come here, you should punch twice, and I will see how much you have regressed." The old man, seeing that Qi Feng was still relatively obedient, expressed some satisfaction and spoke directly.
Over the years, the old master has certainly had more than just these five or six disciples; there are many more. However, like Qi Feng, they all have their own matters to attend to and have not chosen to remain at the martial arts school to take on the position of instructor
Master Chen Ming is the true closed-door disciple of the old master, and it is said that he has been cultivated towards becoming the successor
Oh, that's good. Chen Ming nodded, turned around, and continued to observe the situation of the apprentices in the training area
Qi Feng stopped three meters away and performed a long bow
"Not enough? Go, go, go, go have fun. Come back when you have enough money." The old man instantly closed his eyes and shooed them away.
The sounds of the apprentices practicing their punches echoed throughout the martial arts hall
It is still early
If I weren't still at that level, I would disguise myself as a masked person tonight to deceive my teachers and betray my ancestors
It is rumored that mastering martial arts can also lead one to become an extraordinary being, that is, a martial artist
Furthermore, even if one's own child does not possess the talent or opportunity to become a martial artist, practicing martial arts can still strengthen the body, can it not
Hey, Master, I have business to attend to
If inner strength is applied, the power of this Linghe Fist will become even more terrifying, far surpassing what is currently being demonstrated to the old man Bai
Oh, isn't this little Qi? Your sweet little mouth is still as charming as ever
This is Bai Shan, the master of the Linghe Martial Arts School, known in the martial arts world as 'Old Bai'.
Master
This old man enjoys lecturing, and Qi Feng has long since become accustomed to it; it is best to go along with him.
No wonder the old man has a daughter who is only eighteen years old at such an advanced age; could it be that he earned so much money to find a woman
Master, how much does it cost
The old man indeed noticed something amiss, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face
Bai Shan continued to comfortably rock in the rocking chair, responding with a sound without even opening his eyes
Ha!
Qi Feng shook his head, refusing to be taken advantage of: "Master, I currently do not have enough money"
Qi Feng took a deep breath of the cool air, feeling that this old man was trying to extort money.
At the very least, everyone would prefer a person who respects their teachers and values the way, rather than those who betray their teachers and ancestors. Qi Feng feels it is necessary to don the moral facade, whether as a disguise or out of genuine intent, it cannot be absent
Standing at the very front of the training area, Chen Ming, who was observing all the apprentices practicing their punches with his hands behind his back, turned around and, seeing Qi Feng, showed no change in his expression and simply asked: "Didn’t you say you had something to attend to recently and wouldn’t be coming? Has it been resolved?"
The old man opened his eyes, gazed at Qi Feng, and said softly
The white crane spreads its wings... the immortal crane returns to the mountain... the spiritual crane captures the snake... the crane ascends to the nine heavens...
