The next day, having fully recovered, he pushed away You Ruo, who was clinging to him like an octopus, and went to the martial arts gym with the dog.
Just then, they bumped into Li Daniu, the third senior brother, who had just come out of the martial arts school. Since the apprenticeship ceremony, the other brothers in the martial arts school had rarely met because of the ruins and the matter of the third young master.
"Long time no see, Senior Brother Li. Are you bringing new recruits again?"
The cultivation levels of the seven senior brothers and sisters varied, and their cultivation levels were not entirely based on their rankings. For example, the fifth senior sister, Mu Qinghong, was already a Martial Master leaning towards the first level of cultivation, while the third senior brother, Li Daniu, was barely a Martial Master.
The one who is better than him is Mu Jian, because he spends every day at the martial arts school, his cultivation speed is not slow at all, and he is higher than Mu Qinghong. The remaining six senior brothers and seven senior sisters have completed the three training sessions and are accumulating strength to break through the barrier. At present, they are earning resources outside.
"Oh, Cheng Yi! Long time no see. What a coincidence, I was just about to go find you when we ran into each other. By the way, is this your brother Dao Hou? Impressive!"
Li Daniu's eyes lit up, and he eagerly hooked his arm around Dao Chengyi's shoulder. When he looked at Gou'er, he quickly recognized him, after all, Gou'er had quite a show of power on Woniu Mountain.
"Hey! I'm strong! And awesome!"
The dog is getting better now, with the Smart Gu update patch, so it might just become the king of zombies and a Celestial Zombie!
"Even though his health has improved, learning new things is still difficult, and he can't do it without someone watching him. So I came to the martial arts school to find some people to spar with him and see if this guy can be beaten up."
The main thing is to find Mu Jian. He should be happy to teach others, and you can give him some benefits along the way. He has some really good stuff that will sell like hotcakes.
"But Senior Brother Li, what brings you here? Judging from your expression, it must be something good?"
The three entered the martial arts school. Since the autumn harvest and taxes had ended and winter was approaching, there were quite a few people coming to the school. Seeing the curious looks and whispered discussions of those people, Dao Chengyi enjoyed the treatment of a protagonist.
He practiced martial arts for no more than six months, from summer to autumn, and then surpassed what others would take seven or eight years to achieve. His talent is truly extraordinary! In particular, his story of starting from humble beginnings in the countryside and rising from nothing is a story that is truly inspiring.
"This plot is really just like the Record of the Goddess. I wonder if this senior brother Dao will also be good at picking beautiful flowers, bullying fairies, and breaking down enemy sects."
"Hehe, you don't know that Senior Brother Dao has four beautiful maids at home. In a brothel, it would cost at least tens or even hundreds of taels to play with them."
The novel has indeed become popular. Dao Cheng smiled slightly. It's good that it's popular. Who knows, he might be able to use this book to create some good Gu in the future.
Li Daniu then explained the matter: a competition called the Azure Dragon Battle, which was an assessment of young talents set by the Mighty Bull Demon Sect, and also a distribution of benefits.
An assessment is conducted annually, and the most outstanding winners are given the opportunity to study at the Mighty Bull Demon Sect. Winners also receive rewards such as precious medicines, divine weapons, and secret techniques, and their respective factions will be given a top spot in the allocation of resources the following year.
It sounds like a good thing, but this year is different. The winner of the last Niu family competition joined the Mighty Bull Demon Sect. This time, the Third Young Master has suddenly appeared and defeated the number one Niu family member of this generation. With this kind of momentum, this competition is likely to be a bloodbath!
"There's no need to worry so much. The county magistrate is a member of our Mu family. Although he's not biased towards the Third Young Master, we have a good relationship with him. In addition, our Mu family also has members who have joined the Mighty Bull Demon Sect. By the way, the entourage includes influential elders from the Third Young Master's maternal family."
Seemingly sensing Dao Chengyi's hesitation, Li Daniu reassured him, "While the Niu family might send someone, we certainly won't be short-handed either, and we definitely won't suffer any losses!"
But Dao Cheng thought of something deeper: the Qiongdao Peak's disciple-acceptance ceremony next year, plus the fact that the people coming were the Third Young Master's maternal family, which was quite interesting.
"So this time you're planning to let me join?"
The Qingmang Tournament mainly targets martial artists and is divided into two zones: the third-level zone and the first and second-level zones. Participants can compete repeatedly, which is a significant advantage.
"Of course! My master said this reward is the best in nearly ten years! Many martial arts schools, gangs, and even government agencies are eager to try their luck!"
Li Daniu enthusiastically explained all the benefits, but Dao Chengyi showed little interest. He might have been interested in something like an antique or a rare item with strange powers.
"Then help me with the competition. I'll go see my master now; I've encountered some problems with martial arts recently and would like to ask him for advice."
Li Daniu naturally didn't get up after that. After receiving the reply, he said that he would have a gathering at Chunxiaolou that night and then left.
At the training ground, Fourth Senior Brother Mou Jian was still there. Dao Chengyi wanted to talk to him about sparring with Gou'er, and the latter readily agreed and even became eager to fight.
After instructing the dog not to drink blood indiscriminately and not to hurt people too much, Dao Chengyi went to the main room of the martial arts school to find his master. The master had his own room, but today he was at the martial arts school.
"You've arrived, my good disciple! Come, come, have some freshly made tea!"
The martial arts school owner, Mou Dingshan, was sitting in the main seat drinking tea when he saw Dao Chengyi arrive and greeted him warmly.
"Then I, your disciple, will accept the offer without hesitation."
Without mentioning anything, Dao Chengyi simply accompanied the teacher while drinking tea. Well, this teacher was good in every way, except for his tea-making and brewing skills...
The strong cow dung flavor in the tea, along with its unique and impactful taste that seems to be a mixture of Sichuan peppercorns, numbing peppercorns, yellow lantern peppers, houttuynia cordata, and horseradish, is enough in just one sip.
