Chapter 4: Skin and Flesh Training



Bai Ruoyue replied without any expression:

"The best age to practice martial arts is between twelve and eighteen. You are already twenty-two, and it is difficult to learn well."

"Fifteen taels of silver is not a small sum. You shouldn't spend it on something that is doomed to be fruitless."

"Take the registration fee and go back. Life is more important than practicing martial arts."

Zhou Qing was stunned, his brows relaxed, and he felt a little amused and helpless.

This is different from what I imagined. I thought I was going to encounter a situation where people looked down on me because of my background, and I was prepared to be slapped in the face.

But I didn’t expect that I would... meet a good person.

I clearly came to deliver the money and generate income for Taibai Martial Arts School, but Teacher Bai still thought about me and wanted to return the money to me.

You are a very nice person.

"Teacher Bai, if I take the tuition and leave, the martial arts school will lose a lot of money." Zhou Qing looked at Bai Haoren and said with a smile:

"If the museum owner knew about this, he would probably punish you."

"Teacher Bai is kind-hearted. I can't harm Teacher Bai. I won't leave!"

You have to take the tuition whether you want it or not! Of course, if you are willing to let me join the martial arts school without paying the tuition, that would be even better.

Bai Ruoyue still maintained an expressionless state. She glanced at Zhou Qing and said, "The owner is my father."

“…”

Excuse me.

I'll leave now.

No, since the owner of the museum is her father, I can’t leave!

It’s not that Zhou Qing wants to take a shortcut in life. Don’t get me wrong, Zhou Qing just simply admires Bai Ruoyue’s character.

With a daughter of this character, the owner of the museum must not be too bad.

"Are you leaving or not?" Bai Ruoyue said.

Why doesn't this person listen to advice?

Is martial arts so easy to practice? What can you achieve at the age of 22? Those who cannot practice know.

Zhou Qing finally let Bai Ruoyue down and walked into the door behind Bai Ruoyue with the certificate. Bai Ruoyue didn't say anything.

Behind the door was a spacious venue with a few people scattered around in various positions, demonstrating some movements. There were also people wearing training clothes similar to Bai Ruoyue's walking around and giving instructions.

Li Wu and another girl were standing in front of a window in the corner at this time. Seeing this, Zhou Qing also walked over.

"New apprentice?" There was a man in the window.

"Yes." Zhou Qing handed over the certificate. The man looked at it, took out a wooden plaque, engraved Zhou Qing's name and some information on it, and handed it to Zhou Qing.

"From now on, you can come here directly with the token, without having to go through Senior Sister Bai."

"My name is He Feng. I am the master's disciple and one of your teachers for the past four months."

Zhou Qing and the other two called him Teacher He.

"Let me tell you about the rules of our martial arts school." He Feng came out and said:

"Now you are just ordinary apprentices of the martial arts school. If you can enter the realm of skin and flesh within four months, you can be promoted to the martial arts school's senior apprentices."

"Advanced apprentices can continue to study at the martial arts school without paying tuition, but they have certain obligations to fulfill. Of course, you can also choose to continue paying tuition, but that will be very expensive."

If you are unwilling to fulfill your obligations, then the martial arts school will naturally not be kind enough to provide it for free.

"In addition, as long as your talent is good enough, you will have the opportunity to be accepted as a disciple by the owner of the hall after becoming a senior apprentice."

Zhou Qing listened to He Feng's speech quietly.

Ordinary apprentice, senior apprentice, master's disciple.

This is the status level within Taibai Martial Arts School.

"All Taibai martial arts schools practice Taibai boxing. At the physical stage, there are three types of training methods: elephant-shaped, ox-shaped, and crane-shaped. There is no distinction between high and low. You can choose any method you like."

This ox-shaped thing doesn't sound majestic enough. If I were to name it, I would just call it the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power, the Powerful Bull Demon Fist, or the Pine and Crane Longevity Fist, Zhou Qing thought to himself.

Once the name of such a majestic martial art was released, there was an endless stream of people coming to learn it.

And when competing with others, he is naturally superior.

"I'll feel your bones and measure your body to see which training method is more suitable for you."

"Choosing a training method that suits you will make your future training more effective with less effort."

At this time, Bai Ruoyue also came in and called the only girl among Zhou Qing and the other two over.

Touching bones and measuring body, you know what it means just by listening to the name. It is not appropriate for a man like He Feng to touch a girl.

First it was Li Wu. Zhou Qing stood by and watched He Feng do whatever he wanted to Li Wu, feeling calm in his heart.

We have seen more explosive things on Earth.

On the contrary, Li Wu, the person involved, felt quite unnatural.

"Well, you are suitable for the ox shape." He Feng said.

Li Wu nodded, and then asked expectantly: "Teacher He, how is my talent?"

"Since you have already entered the martial arts school, you must stay for four months no matter what." He Feng shook his head and said:

"For the next four months, just focus on practicing martial arts and don't worry about anything else. Do you think you should be complacent and slack off just because you have good talent, or give up on yourself just because you have poor talent?"

"Master once said that in martial arts, perseverance is as important as talent."

"As long as you practice diligently, you will definitely achieve something."

Li Wu was a little disappointed when he didn't get an answer. Young people always fantasize that they are the most unique one in the world.

However, Zhou Qing looked at He Feng twice more.

No wonder Taibai Martial Arts School has the best reputation. It seems that it is not just because of the low fees.

Zhou Qing had never seen the other disciples of the master so he could not comment on them for now, but Bai Haoren and He Feng were indeed very responsible.

Zhou Qing knew that he had come to the right place.

At this time, Bai Ruoyue also came over with the girl and said in a simple and shocking way: "Crane shape."

"As expected." He Feng smiled.

Most female apprentices are suitable for Crane Form, with only very few exceptions.

Next it was Zhou Qing's turn to be touched. At first He Feng seemed very relaxed, but the more he touched, the more something seemed wrong in his expression.

What a strong man!

After touching Zhou Qing, He Feng looked at Zhou Qing with surprise in his eyes.

"Teacher He, which training method is suitable for me?"

"Your body... is very rare. All three training methods are very suitable for you."

After hearing this, Li Wu looked at Zhou Qing with envy.

I am only suitable for one type, but he is suitable for all three. It sounds so impressive.

"Your situation is somewhat special. We need to discuss it before making a decision. Wait a moment."

After He Feng finished speaking, he winked at Bai Ruoyue, and the two of them went into another room.

"Brother He, what's going on?"

Bai Ruoyue is younger than He Feng, but she started learning earlier.

"Senior sister, there's something wrong with Zhou Qing's body." He Feng said, "I found that his body is no weaker than some warriors who have just entered the flesh and blood realm, and he is very energetic."

Bai Ruoyue was stunned, and her first reaction was that Zhou Qing lied about his age.

"Isn't he twenty-two?"

But then I felt something was wrong.

"His bone age is indeed 22 years old. He didn't lie, but his body is very special. He is full of vitality and has abundant blood and qi, far beyond that of ordinary people." He Feng said, "This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. I can't make up my mind. Do you want to tell Master?"

"Dad seems to be meeting some distinguished guests... Never mind."

"You go and teach them boxing first, I'll go talk to dad." Bai Ruoyue left in a hurry.

What does it mean that a person who has never practiced martial arts can be comparable to a martial artist who has just entered the realm of flesh and blood? This means that as long as Zhou Qing enters the threshold of martial arts, his basic qualities will be stronger than those of his peers, and his strength will far exceed that of his peers.

What's more, this also means extremely outstanding physical talent, and the possibility of becoming a master is greater! Twenty-two years old is too old to learn martial arts?

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Not big, not big at all.

On the contrary, he is still very young and will have a lot of practice in the future! On the way to find his father, Bai Ruoyue suddenly felt relieved.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing was a stubborn person and didn’t let me persuade him to leave. I almost did a bad thing with good intentions.

Zhou Qing and the other two were left where they were, and the atmosphere between the three strangers became somewhat awkward.

Well, Zhou Qing is not embarrassed.

However, Zhou Qing also took the initiative to bring up the topic, and later learned that the girl's name was Wang Taotao, she was fifteen years old, the same age as Li Wu.

The kid Li Wu was unwilling to talk to the old man Zhou Qing, but when facing Wang Taotao, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he hesitated.

Zhou Qing was watching from the side and wanted to laugh.

Quite cute.

Letting two people of the same age communicate there, Zhou Qing thought of the two disciples of the master who had left.

"He must have discovered something special about my body." Zhou Qing thought secretly.

After taking the Essence of Life, his body indeed underwent tremendous changes, and he felt as strong as a bull.

The martial arts in this world are based mainly on the physical body, and a body like Zhou Qing's is undoubtedly very suitable for practicing martial arts.

After He Feng came back, he took the three people to a corner of the venue.

"Wang Taotao, Senior Sister will come to teach you the Crane Form Refining Technique later, you can just watch for now."

"Zhou Qing, which style of boxing do you want to learn? Wait until Senior Sister comes back before deciding."

Zhou Qing nodded and had no objection.

In this case, He Feng could only teach Li Wu the Ox Form training method first.

So Li Wu looked at He Feng with special anticipation, but this disciple of the master of the hall started talking about other things first.

"The path of martial arts begins with health preservation. The process of practicing boxing is also a process of health preservation. If you supplement it with decoctions and medicines in the middle, it will have a better effect."

"The martial arts hall sells health-preserving soups. If you need them, you can go buy some. They are quite effective."

"After completing the regimen, you will have to start challenging the martial arts threshold and work hard to officially enter the country."

Fifteen taels of silver is only the tuition fee and does not include the cost of medicine.

As long as you decide to practice martial arts, you will need a lot of money to support it. The saying "poor in literature but rich in martial arts" is not just talk.

Zhou Qing didn't care about those medicines because he didn't have the money to buy them anyway.

But this also made Zhou Qing miss Tiandi Bank even more.

Zhou Qing asked a question.

"Teacher He, is health preservation also a martial arts realm?"

He Feng shook his head, "It's not a formal martial arts realm, it can only be regarded as a preparatory stage, to take care of the body and get into a healthy state, which is more suitable for martial arts practice."

"In the process of health preservation, some hidden injuries and disharmony of the body will be healed. Everyone who completes health preservation will be extremely healthy unless they are born with defects."

"Don't worry. Even without the medicine, as long as you practice boxing diligently, you can still maintain your health. It won't take long."

Zhou Qing understood that this health preservation was just a prerequisite for formal martial arts training.

“After completing the health regimen, you must persist in practicing the training method and training your skin and flesh. Once you have cultivated the first ray of internal energy, you will have entered the realm of skin and flesh, which means you are a high-level apprentice in the martial arts hall.”

"The internal energy is full and spreads throughout the body. The skin and flesh are deeply tempered, which means that the skin and flesh realm has been achieved."

"The skin membrane is glowing, and the flesh and blood are full of vitality. This means that one has entered the realm of great perfection of the flesh and blood. At this stage, one can greatly resist damage from ordinary sharp weapons. A knife cannot tear it, a sword cannot pierce it, and a hundred enemies can be easily defeated."

"What you need to do now is to learn the boxing techniques and complete your health maintenance as soon as possible."

Li Wu and Wang Taotao were very excited by what he said. A sharp weapon could not hurt them, and they could defeat a hundred people!

It’s so cool and spicy!

Zhou Qing was also somewhat excited. The extraordinary power was right before his eyes. This was something he could never have touched in his previous life. He yearned for it immensely.

Next, He Feng directly began to demonstrate the Ox Form Exercise to Li Wu.

He used both fists and feet, and as he turned and moved, there was a loud sound of explosion, which was quite loud.

Zhou Qing and the other two retreated repeatedly, feeling a tremendous pressure, as if a large predator was pouncing towards them.

Li Wu and Wang Taotao looked pale, but Zhou Qing performed better than the other two.

Other people in the venue also gathered around and watched He Feng practice his boxing.

They have all obtained training methods that suit them, but none of them have entered the realm of flesh and blood. It would also be helpful to be able to observe the teaching-like exercises of a master like He Feng.

After finishing a set of boxing, He Feng's breath was still steady, without any haste. He looked at Li Wu and asked, "Did you remember it?"

Li Wu had just come back to his senses and his face turned red when he heard this, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Just remember, remember a little."

"Well, that's good. Come and try it. I'll break down each move and teach you. Don't worry."

He Feng was not surprised by Li Wu's answer.

He had never seen a genius who could remember all the boxing techniques after just watching him practice once. Every apprentice learned the techniques only after he explained each move slowly.

"I am practicing the Niu Xing, and I have been practicing for two months, but I still feel that this set of boxing is profound and mysterious, and I have not yet fully understood it. It took me a long time to remember and learn it completely."

"Indeed, it is so difficult to learn a training method."

"Even in the other two martial arts schools, I have never heard of anyone being able to learn such a boxing technique in just one go."

The people around also expressed their feelings and did not laugh at Li Wu at this time. They all went through the same thing in the past.

If they laughed at Li Wu at this time, they would appear to be brainless.

If they want to laugh at him, they have to wait until Li Wu has learned this set of boxing techniques longer than them before they can laugh at him.

Zhou Qing paid attention to the nearby sounds, looked left and right, and found that everyone had a look of approval on their faces. At the same time, he also watched He Feng carefully disassemble the Ox Form Training Method.

Zhou Qing remained silent.

Is this ox-shaped training method really that difficult to learn?

I seem to have only read it once and I remembered everything? Hey, damn, am I also a genius in comprehension?  Please read, collect, recommend and reward with monthly tickets...
