Shen family, Shen’s martial arts school.
At this time, Shen Cheng was holding a wooden stick for practice, his brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on Shen Yu who was standing not far away opposite him and also holding a wooden stick, ready to attack.
That’s right, he’s here to confront the old man again.
Originally, Shen Cheng was not so anxious to practice with his grandfather, but when drinking tea at home, every time Shen Die did his homework for a while, he would secretly glance at Shen Cheng pitifully. Finally, Shen Cheng could not bear it anymore and had to get up and take the initiative to move the old man away.
Shen Yu naturally saw through the petty intentions of the brother and sister, but after hearing Shen Cheng say that his strength had improved a lot, he couldn't help but drag Shen Cheng to the martial arts hall, wanting to see what Shen Cheng's current strength was.
"Come on, Xiao Cheng, let me see how strong you are." Shen Yu got into position and stood there, motionless as a mountain, his eyes slightly narrowed, a sharp look revealed in the slits of his eyes.
Shen Cheng did not respond, his eyes still fixed on Shen Yu. This time, he clearly felt an incomparable sense of oppression from Shen Yu, who had already taken a stance.
"You can't kill the enemy by just staring at them!" Shen Yu growled again.
And at the moment when Shen Yu's voice just fell, Shen Cheng suddenly jumped out, rushed towards Shen Yu like an arrow, and swept away with a stick.
"Bang!" Shen Yu blocked the wooden stick and caught it steadily, and at the same time kicked Shen Cheng in the chest.
The kick was so powerful and powerful that it didn't look like something a little old man could kick out. Shen Cheng had to quickly step back to avoid it.
Shen Yu's kick missed, but it did not affect his balance at all. When the kick landed, he used the momentum to swing the stick at Shen Cheng.
"Bang——" With the help of dynamic vision, Shen Cheng barely kept up with Shen Yu's speed and took Shen Yu's stick.
The force of this blow was quite strong. Shen Cheng only felt a slight numbness in his palm and almost fell down.
After Shen Yu swung the stick like this, he did not pause at all. He raised the stick in an arc shape and stopped it above Shen Cheng's head in an instant, and then suddenly chopped it down.
Shen Cheng couldn't catch his breath, and hurriedly blocked the wooden stick above his head, wanting to catch Shen Yu's stick again.
However, Shen Yu's stick had not yet landed. After only lightly touching the stick raised by Shen Cheng, he immediately retracted it.
A feint!
Shen Cheng felt something was wrong, but Shen Yu had already put away his stick and gathered strength, then stabbed it out, straight towards Shen Cheng's throat!
Flat stab!
In Shen Cheng's eyes, this simple horizontal stab was as smooth as flowing water. While the movement was smooth, it was also as fast as thunder!
Even though Shen Cheng used dynamic vision, the flat stab still left an afterimage in Shen Cheng's eyes. Before Shen Cheng could react, the tip of the wooden stick held by Shen Yu had already stopped in front of Shen Cheng's throat.
But Shen Yu still did not stop, but put away the stick, stabbed again, put away the stick, and stabbed again, leaving afterimages of the sticks. Just a moment ago, Shen Yu had stabbed three times in a row, and each stick was only a millimeter away from Shen Cheng's throat!
A drop of cold sweat slowly slid down Chen Cheng's forehead. His whole body froze in place, holding his wooden stick stupidly like a fool.
"Horizontal stab." Slowly putting away the wooden stick, Shen Yu said calmly, "This is the most basic, simplest, and most lethal move. Other moves are all about attacking while defending, but this one concentrates all the strength on the tip of the stick and thrusts out without reservation."
Shen Cheng then came back to his senses a little, put away the stick, and looked at Shen Yu.
He knew that Shen Yu had held back this time. Shen Cheng even guessed that Shen Yu had not revealed even half of his strength.
But even so, he was defeated. In a flash of lightning, he was completely defeated by Shen Yu.
"Although this move is simple, to truly master it requires daily practice. Otherwise, if you use it rashly, not only will it fail to achieve the desired effect, but it will also easily expose your weaknesses to your opponent."
As he spoke, Shen Yu sighed deeply: "I saw that you were not interested in this, so I did not urge you to practice this boring move."
“…”
Shen Cheng was silent.
"Xiao Cheng, don't be discouraged. You're pretty good. At least now you can keep up with my speed. I'm very pleased." Then, a smile appeared on Shen Yu's face again: "You are still very young. If you keep going like this, one day you will surpass and beat me. I am looking forward to that day."
Shen Cheng nodded seriously: "I will definitely not let Grandpa down!"
“Okay, okay…” Shen Yu waved his hand, looked at Shen Cheng, and said, “After the New Year, there will be new tasks, right?”
Shen Cheng nodded and did not hide anything: "Go to Hongguo to carry out a very important mission."
When he heard the word "Hongguo", a cold light flashed in Shen Yu's eyes. He closed his eyes and smiled with emotion: "Going to Hongguo, going to Hongguo is good. The descendants of my Shen family can finally serve the motherland again..."
As for the specific content of the mission, Shen Yu did not ask, but he could vaguely guess that this mission was probably related to the humanoid weapon in the forest near his home some time ago.
Although Shen Yu was indignant about this matter, he was powerless to do anything.
Fortunately, his grandson can go to Hong Country to seek an explanation with his own wishes.
“By the way, Grandpa, I taught our Shen family’s martial arts to a girl. She is the same age as Xiaodie, and her talent is similar to Xiaodie’s.” Suddenly, Shen Cheng remembered Xiang Xin and spoke to Shen Yu.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Does she like martial arts?"
"I can see that she likes it very much." Chen Cheng smiled: "Even without anyone to supervise her, she will still practice on her own and never slack off."
"Oh..." Shen Yu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Okay, okay..."
Shen Yu really wanted to promote his own martial arts, but unfortunately, the Shen family martial arts school could no longer recruit people.
Although many families in the village like to send their children to the martial arts school, in fact, Shen Yu often takes the villagers to practice together. At least in this village, every household's morning exercises are basically practicing the Shen family's martial arts. In this case, even if he accepts their children, there is not much that Shen Yu can teach.
But once they go outside, the Shen family's traditional martial arts are no longer taken seriously.
The reason why the people in this village admire the Shen family's martial arts is because the ancestors of the Shen family once used martial arts to repel a group of bandits who were committing crimes in the village and protected the town. This is why the Shen family has such a high prestige in this village.
Patting Shen Cheng's shoulder, Shen Yu smiled and said, "When you have time, bring your apprentice here so I can take a good look."
Shen Cheng originally thought so, and agreed with a smile: "Okay!"
