Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 689

Chapter 689 Tangled

“Black Tiger… come on, let’s fight!”

Although Ye Fengchun was exhausted yesterday, any young man who can get to this point has a strong will. He got up early this morning and took the initiative to invite him.

His eyes were attentive, as if saying: ‘Come on… have fun… hurt each other…’

Xun Heihu glanced at him, shook his head, said sorry in his heart, and found Master Yu: “Master Yu… I have entered the rank.”

“What?”

Although his words were soft, the square was filled with warriors, all of whom had sharp ears and eyes.

Coach Yu’s eyes lit up, and he moved quickly, pressing various parts of Xun Heihu’s body.

Xun Heihu’s skin was tense as if he was in a stress response, his bronze color became deeper, and there was a hidden strength that was ready to be unleashed.

“Not bad, not bad… His body is like a bronze man, and his strength is like an ox… This is indeed the performance of entering the ninth rank.”

Master Yu exclaimed: “It’s a pity that you are not a woman, otherwise I would like to take you as my disciple.”

“That’s… Xun Heihu? Has he made a breakthrough?”

“He’s only been here a few months?”

The young boys and girls were talking about it, while others remained silent and began to practice fighting.

“He…he broke through?”

Ye Fengchun opened his mouth wide, feeling bitter and helpless…

When Jiang Yuyan saw this scene, there was no expression on her face. She just walked to the wooden stake next to her.

Bang!

Each time she attacked, she seemed to use more force than the last time, and soon her arms and hands began to swell. But the girl seemed to feel nothing, letting the wooden stake grind her skin, allowing the drug to work more perfectly…

…

“Come with me.”

Coach Yu didn’t care about these. In her opinion, it was a good thing to give those martial artists more stimulation.

She took Xun Heihu and walked to the back of Bailu Courtyard.

“This Master Yu… is definitely a master of internal strength!”

Xun Heihu followed behind Master Yu, looking at the other’s graceful back and plump hips, but he began to think wildly: “If this master didn’t have a scar on his face, he would still be a beauty… Wait, what am I thinking? Although martial artists have strong blood and energy, they also have to have a bottom line…”

He forced himself to shift his gaze to the buildings on both sides and found that they were very charming tiled houses in the Jiangnan water towns.

The red brick, green tile and horse head wall have a unique flavor.

Some villas have small bridges and flowing water in front of them, flowing through ponds full of lotus flowers. The roads are paved with bluestone slabs, and there are cute lion statues on the bridges, which are really amazing.

After all, he was just a child from a poor family. After joining Bailu Academy, he went back and forth between the training ground, dormitory and canteen. He had no idea that there was such a wealthy scene deep in Bailu Academy.

“Do you like it here?”

“As long as you can cultivate to the seventh rank within two years…even if you can’t join the Five Animals Sect in the future, it won’t be a problem for you to join our White Deer Lower House. By then, you can own a house permanently.”

Coach Yu took Xun Heihu to a courtyard after many twists and turns. “Next, I will take you to see our dean…”

Xun Heihu looked over and saw a fat man lying on a rattan chair.

The other person looked relaxed, wearing a linen shirt with his belly exposed, and holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand.

“It’s Xiaoyu… Is there another good seedling?”

The dean is short and fat, like a meatball, and speaks with a strong northern accent.

“Yes, this boy’s name is Xun Heihu, and he has already entered the rank!”

Coach Yu bowed and answered.

“Meet the Dean!”

Xun Heihu hurried forward and saluted.

“Not bad, not bad. Among your class, Yuchi Gang and Situ Yanyan have already been admitted… plus you, there are three of us now. Maybe you can be recommended to join the sect in the future, which will be considered our political achievement, right?”

The fat man was still lying on the rattan chair, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. “My name is Zhang Kaitai. When I was young, I lived in the north. I was loved by many friends and was nicknamed ‘Taiyi Hand’…”

Xun Heihu was immediately filled with awe.

In today’s Kyushu world, it is not easy to make a name for yourself and become famous.

At this time, Zhang Kaitai’s voice continued: “…Since you have entered the ninth rank, you can move here and have your own house and courtyard. You don’t have to eat in the cafeteria anymore. There are special medicinal foods here… Well, there is also a quota of one ‘Golden Mercury Pill’ every five days. You should know the rules, so I won’t say more… In addition, after entering the ninth rank, you can learn martial arts moves. You can choose a coach to become your disciple. Of course, the premise is that the other party agrees.”

The realm of martial arts is the Tao!
The martial arts moves are the technique!
If you only have the Tao but no technique, you are just a wild bull or a fat pig…

If you only have techniques but no practical skills, it will be like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

Bailu Academy didn’t teach any martial arts moves before, because those who learned them hadn’t reached the entry level yet, so no matter what they learned, it would all be mere show.

After you get into the realm of quality, you can start learning.

“yes.”

Xun Heihu responded repeatedly.

In fact, he has learned quite a few martial arts moves, all from ancient martial arts schools!

Ancient martial arts are best at fighting, and they are moves that generations of ancestors learned from fighting with ferocious beasts.

Therefore, the attack was extremely brutal, either killing or injuring!
Even though Xun Heihu had practiced it, he didn’t dare to use it even once.

“I don’t need to learn from a master…but the shortage of money is a big problem.”

There are actually many ways for a ninth-rank warrior to make money, such as becoming a thug or joining a security agency.

But each one requires a lot of time and energy, which is not suitable for Xun Heihu at this time.

He had no choice but to take things one step at a time.

…

After visiting Zhang Kaitai, Xun Heihu followed Coach Yu to register and choose an empty villa to move into.

“I don’t think I need to become a disciple. After all, I know the martial arts moves. As for money… I can’t really be as shameless as the weapon spirit said, right?”

Xun Heihu was feeling anxious and was about to speak when Master Yu said, “Okay, everything is done… But I have some bad news for you. No master seems to be interested in you, otherwise you would have received the hint long ago.”

“Why?”

Xun Heihu heaved a sigh of relief, but looked a little unconvinced: “Among this batch of martial artists, I’m clearly ranked third…”

“Because you are not from an aristocratic family. The two people before you, Yuchi Gang and Situ Yanyan, are both from martial arts families… What is a martial arts family? A family can only be called an aristocratic family if there are masters of internal energy in every generation, or even if there are top three-grade masters in the ancestors.”

Coach Yu said, “You can catch up with those two geniuses. Your martial arts talent is good, but it’s just good… It’s not yet time for us to be tempted or even pay a huge price to invest in you.”

“cost?”

Xun Heihu seemed to understand something.

“The lower third-grade martial arts is a hard practice, and the most important thing is resources… For example, Yuchi Gang has to take a ‘Jade Dust Pill’ every day. This pill can neutralize the toxicity of the ‘Golden Mercury Pill’, allowing him to take one pill every two days… Of course, this extra quota has to be bought with silver, but of course people can afford it. The value of the Jade Dust Pill is even higher than that of the Golden Mercury Pill…”

“The breakthrough of the lower three levels is closely related to resources, so martial arts is a beast that devours money! And for the cultivation of internal strength, the younger the better… Do you understand?”

Master Yu looked at Xun Heihu with a trace of pity in his eyes: “Those martial artists outside cannot see the backs of the noble family’s sons, so this is how their lives will be. For a genius like you, it is truly despair that you can see but cannot catch him…”

“But… Master Yu, didn’t you accept Jiang Yuyan as your disciple?” Xun Heihu seemed to have thought of something: “It seems that Master Yu can’t stand this…”

“Yes, you are very smart. If I had someone to support me, how could I be stuck in the sixth rank for my whole life?”

Coach Yu said: “I suggest you take advantage of these few years to accumulate your strength, and then immediately join the Five Beasts Army, maybe you can give it a try…”

“Thank you for your guidance, Master Yu.”

Xun Heihu thanked him and came to his own courtyard.

Bang!

After closing the door, he let out a long breath and thought to himself: “If it were someone else, they would probably despair… but I won’t.”

“I have the Zhenwu Talisman, which is already an unimaginable opportunity. Even if I just practice martial arts ten times more than others every day, I will never be left behind by the noble family!”

…

Ten days later.

Bailuyuan, the main gate.

“father?”

Xun Heihu looked at the dusty Xun Laoliu, his eyes reddened: “I… I am a ninth-rank…”

“Haha, good boy, you are worthy of being my offspring. It’s only been a few months and you’ve already reached the level of quality.”

Xun Laoliu patted Xun Heihu’s shoulder, feeling a little bit unbelievable as well.

He actually knows best what kind of person his son is.

I didn’t expect that I was wrong?

Is it because I have been traveling outside for the past few years and have not observed too much?
He thought for a moment and handed over a package: “These are the clothes and shoes your mother made for you…Practicing martial arts is hard, you should eat more.”

Xun Laoliu stepped forward and lowered his voice: “There are also 1,000 taels of silver notes sewn into the clothes. They are all 5 taels of treasure notes that Baoyuanhao redeems on sight… Don’t be reluctant to spend them.”

“Dad, where did you get so much money?”

Xun Heihu was stunned.

He had indeed been secretly angry for some time, and was almost ready to sell himself…

Unexpectedly, his father is actually a big dog owner.

“I borrowed it from a friend…”

Xun Laoliu said perfunctorily, hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Also… remember not to sell the ‘Gold Mercury Pill’ privately! If you really want to sell it, I have a way!”

…

Looking at Xun Laoliu’s leaving back, Xun Heihu fell silent.

He returned to his own courtyard, closed the door and windows, tore open his clothes, and saw a pile of shiny silver bills.

“Baoyuanhao is a big bank that monopolizes Chuzhou, and the Wuqin Sect is behind it…”

“One thousand taels, a lot of it, if you save it, it will be enough for a long time.”

“My father’s moves just now… clearly he knows martial arts, and he’s very strong!”

Xun Heihu grasped the Zhenwu Talisman around his neck and wanted to ask his father about this treasure.

But thinking about the solemn oath he had sworn not to tell anyone about the Zhenwu Talisman, he was in a dilemma…
