Chapter 2: Feeling Proud!
The next morning, after practicing all night, Luo Xiu slowly opened his eyes. He was not tired at all, but full of energy.
Perhaps because the speed of practice in the past three years was too slow, his body was very hungry and thirsty, and he almost greedily devoured and absorbed the vitality of heaven and earth. The effect of one night's practice was very obvious, and it would not take long for him to break through to the third level of body training.
Moreover, after accidentally fusing the life and death beads, Luo Xiu found that his physique was also affected by the life and death polarity. In the process of practice, he would be reborn.
Pushing the door open and walking out, Luo Xiu went to the martial arts field of the martial arts hall.
Many martial arts hall students got up early in the morning to practice hard in the martial arts field. Many people saw Luo Xiu appearing here and their expressions were a little weird.
"Didn't he pass out after being beaten by Zhang Hao and his men yesterday?"
"Hey, I heard that this guy likes Liu Yuxin, and when he saw Zhang Hao harassing Yuxin, he rushed over to save her."
"He? He's just a poor boy from a low-class family. He doesn't even take a piss to look at himself. He's a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
"Liu Yuxin is the daughter of the Liu family. How could she possibly fall in love with such a low-class person? She doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
Along the way, Luo Xiu heard a lot of such ridicule and sarcasm. It's impossible to say that he didn't get angry at all, but after being beaten yesterday, he knew very well that he didn't have any strength and he didn't have any right to refute.
"Since the skills can be improved, martial arts are also a way of running internal energy. I wonder if they can also be improved."
In a remote corner of the martial arts field, Luo Xiu took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
"Pah!"
His figure suddenly moved, and he took a stance, performing a set of boxing techniques, each move was open and closed, and his fists swung, bringing up a strong wind.
This set of boxing martial arts, called the Bull Fist, is a first-grade martial arts, and it is also the only martial arts he practices.
Because the Qingyun City Martial Arts Hall will not teach martial arts for free, there are only two ways to obtain martial arts inheritance. One is to spend money to buy it. The higher the grade of martial arts, the more expensive it is. The lowest first-grade martial arts also costs one hundred taels of silver.
Another way is to reach a certain level of martial arts cultivation, and then you can enter the Martial Arts Hall to select a higher-level martial arts from the hundreds of thousands of novels.
The first-grade martial arts that Luo Xiu practiced was bought with money. For an ordinary civilian family, buying martial arts and martial arts would use up almost all of the family's savings.
Not everyone in this world can practice martial arts. More than half of the people do not have the talent for martial arts. For ordinary people, practicing martial arts is the only way to get ahead. So from the day he entered the martial arts hall at the age of ten, Luo Xiu has been the hope of the whole family.
During the practice of the Bull Fist, the life vein diagram appeared in Luo Xiu's mind, and the internal energy running route of the whole set of boxing techniques was in full view.
"Sure enough, martial arts can also be improved through the deduction of the life vein diagram!"
After trying, Luo Xiu was surprised to find that his idea was indeed feasible, and he was excited.
"Hey!"
He took a step forward, the fist wind whistled, and his two fists were like the horns of a bull, fiercely smashing towards the wooden man in front of him.
"Bang!"
With a bang, the chest of the wooden man was blown apart by his fist, and wood chips flew everywhere.
The wooden man piles on the martial arts field of the martial arts hall are made of black iron wood. Without the strength of the third level of physical training, it is absolutely impossible to damage these wooden man piles.
However, Luo Xiu's cultivation level at this moment is still the second level of physical training.
"Although the third level of physical training can destroy the wooden man pile, it can never achieve this effect. At least the fourth level of physical training can do it."
Satisfied with the effect he created, Luo Xiu's eyes lit up. Doesn't this mean that even if he faces a martial artist of the fourth level of physical training, he can still fight?
"After the improvement of the skills and martial arts, my strength has increased so much!" Luo Xiu is more and more confident in his future martial arts training.
"Get out of here, are you all blind? Don't you see Young Master Zhang coming?"
An arrogant voice came from the martial arts field. Luo Xiu looked up and saw several dandies swaggering around. Many people swallowed their anger and dared not resist along the way.
Among these dandies, there was a young man in brocade clothes who was surrounded in the middle. Seeing this man, Luo Xiu couldn't help but clench his fist suddenly.
"Hey, isn't this the lowly person surnamed Luo? How dare you show up here?"
Suddenly, a loud and arrogant laugh came, with sarcasm and disdain in the words.
This sentence came from the mouth of the young man in brocade clothes. At the same time, some students of the martial arts hall who were practicing martial arts not far away also looked over here.
This young man in brocade clothes was Zhang Hao. He was born in a wealthy family and could be said to be one of the bullies among the students of the martial arts hall.
Yesterday, because Luo Xiu saw him entangled with Liu Yuxin, he rushed up to argue with him, and then was severely beaten by Zhang Hao and his men. In particular, the other party stepped on his ribs and broke them. Luo Xiu still remembers it clearly!
That time, Zhang Hao threatened that he would beat Luo Xiu every time he saw him in the future, so when he saw Luo Xiu in the martial arts arena, he ran straight to him.
"You ignorant lowly boy, do you think Liu Yuxin is yours? If you are afraid of being beaten, kneel down and beg for mercy, maybe I will spare you once." Zhang Hao pointed at Luo Xiu's nose, looking superior.
Luo Xiu stared at Zhang Hao in front of him, without saying a word.
As far as he knew, Zhang Hao's cultivation was a martial artist at the fourth level of physical training. He didn't say anything because he was afraid of the other party, but because he was considering whether he could beat this guy.
If he could... I will beat you so hard that even your mother can't recognize you! Luo Xiu clenched his fists.
"Damn, kid, are you dumb? Young Master Zhang is talking to you, didn't you hear?" A follower behind Zhang Hao strode forward and slapped Luo Xiu's left face directly.
These dandy boys have always been so arrogant.
The man who attacked Luo Xiu was called Li Hai. He was from an ordinary family, but he knew how to curry favor with the powerful. He followed Zhang Hao all day and was involved in the beating of Luo Xiu yesterday.
"A lowly person is a lowly person. You are born with a lowly body. Young Master Zhang gave you a chance to kneel down and beg for mercy. Since you don't cherish this opportunity, I will beat you until you kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Just as the slap was about to hit Luo Xiu's face, Luo Xiu suddenly grabbed the other party's hand.
"You lowly person, dare to fight back? It seems that I didn't hit you lightly last time!" Li Hai shouted angrily and kicked Luo Xiu in the chest.
Luo Xiu moved his body to avoid the kick, grabbed the other party's hand and twisted it hard, almost twisting Li Hai's arm into a knot on the spot.
"Ah!..." Li Hai screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and tears were about to flow out of the pain.
"You bite everyone you see and you spit shit all over your mouth. Calling you a running dog is an insult to dogs!" Luo Xiu snorted coldly, and then kicked Li Hai away.
Li Hai howled while holding his dislocated arm, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead due to the pain.
Seeing this scene, the martial arts students watching nearby were all shocked, but then they looked at Luo Xiu with pity.
Because they knew Zhang Hao and his group of playboys very well. When they bully you, the more you resist, the harder they will hit you.
"Little beast, it seems that you have grown up. You actually dared to hit my people!" Zhang Hao's face darkened. "I thought you would learn your lesson last time when I beat you up. It seems that I was too lenient. This time, you should be prepared to lie in bed for ten days or half a month!"
"The person who lies in bed may not be me." Luo Xiu snorted coldly and said lightly.
The crowd was stunned, looking at Luo Xiu with an idiotic look, and they really couldn't understand where this guy got the confidence to say such a thing.
Zhang Hao also entered the martial arts hall at the age of ten and practiced martial arts for three years, but Zhang Hao's family was rich and he was already at the fourth level of body refining, entering the realm of tempering muscles and bones. Moreover, he practiced the second-grade skills and third-grade martial arts bought from the martial arts hall, which cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"Young Master Zhang, calm down. Why should you dirty your hands with such a shameless pariah? Let me take action to deal with him and make him kneel on the ground to lick your boots." A guy with a pointed face and monkey cheeks beside Zhang Hao flattered him.
Zhang Hao smiled and nodded, "Well, in that case, this pariah will be handed over to you, Wang Ping. Don't lose face like that waste Li Hai."
"Don't worry, Young Master Zhang, I am a martial artist at the third level of body refining. I just practiced the second-grade martial arts two days ago. It's easy to take down a pariah!" Wang Ping said confidently.
These guys kept calling him a pariah, which made many of the martial arts students who were born in the martial arts arena feel angry, but they could only swallow their anger and dare not speak.
"Boy, I can solve you with one move! Kneel down!" Wang Ping took a step forward, and his palm brought a sharp palm wind, like a violent wind, and slapped Luo Xiu's head directly.
He was very conceited, and wanted to beat Luo Xiu to his knees and beg for mercy with one palm.
"Second-grade martial arts, the Wind Palm!"
The crowd exclaimed, recognizing the origin of the martial arts that Wang Ping performed.
"Second-grade martial arts cost thousands of taels of silver, and internal skills are even more expensive, and it takes nearly 10,000 taels of silver to buy it."
"Oh my God, tens of thousands of taels of silver, I have never seen so much money in my life."
Many martial arts students around were amazed and envious. Practicing second-grade martial arts and practicing the third level of body training, no one of his peers who were born in the common people could beat this Wang Ping.
In the past, Luo Xiu would certainly not be Wang Ping's opponent.
At this moment, in his eyes, Wang Ping's life veins were clearly visible, as well as the route of his internal energy running in the meridians. He knew everything.
In this insight into the mystery of the essence of life, Luo Xiu felt that his heart was immersed in a calm state, as if the sky and the earth could not cause any ripples in his emotions.
"Bang!"
In the blink of an eye, Luo Xiu made a move. He punched through the air, the wind whistled, and his fist was like a bull's horn, fiercely hitting Wang Ping's chest.
"Hehe, I'm at the third level of physical training. Fighting me head-on is asking for trouble! Because I'm faster than you!" Wang Ping sneered, and his internal energy flowed into his palms, trying to make Luo Xiu kneel in front of him before his attack hit him.
The second-grade martial arts skill, the Wind Palm, was originally known for its speed, and it reached Luo Xiu's head in an instant.
But the next moment he found that his palm was only a little bit away from Luo Xiu's head, but he couldn't get even a little bit off.
"Bang!"
With a dull sound, he was hit hard in the chest, screamed, and flew out.
How is this possible?
The onlookers not far away exclaimed in uproar, because Luo Xiu's attack speed was too fast, which was not something a second-level physical training martial artist could do.
Zhang Hao's face also changed slightly. Luo Xiu today seemed different from the past. He was no longer a lowly boy that he could manipulate and bully at will.
Luo Xiu on the opposite side had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through the mystery of the essence of life in all things, which made Zhang Hao shudder and feel that this kid was very weird today.
In the past, both Li Hai and Wang Ping could easily defeat him, but today he was defeated by him one after another. If Li Hai was defeated because he underestimated him, then Wang Ping was fighting with all his strength.
Suddenly, Luo Xiu's figure moved. This time he took the initiative to attack, and the Bull Fist was launched, rushing directly towards Zhang Hao.
"Mr. Zhang, did you enjoy beating me yesterday? Today I will beat you so hard that your mother can't recognize you!"
Seeing that Luo Xiu actually rushed towards him, several people around Zhang Hao couldn't help but retreat half a step. The strength of these people was about the same as that of Li Hai and Wang Ping.
"You ignorant pariah, do you think I am the two idiots just now?"
Zhang Hao felt that his dignity among the students of the Martial Hall was challenged, and he shouted angrily, bending his five fingers into claws.
The martial art he used was called Iron Eagle Claw, a third-grade martial art. The claws were fierce and sharp, much more powerful than Wang Ping's Wind Palm.
"Bang!"
Luo Xiu's fist collided with the Iron Eagle Claw. In everyone's opinion, the first-grade martial art Bull Fist versus the third-grade martial art Iron Eagle Claw, Luo Xiu's hand must be broken.
The crackling sound of broken bones confirmed this to the people around.
"Ah!"
However, what everyone didn't expect was that the one who screamed in the field was not Luo Xiu, but Zhang Hao!
Zhang Hao was seen screaming and retreating, with all five finger bones of his right hand broken, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't understand what was going on.
