Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 705

Chapter 705 Newcomer

A pitch-black catfish swam in the water. After an unknown amount of time, it felt a burning sensation in its belly.

Snap!

In the Zhenwu space, a pitch-black catfish fell to the ground, its tail still jumping.

“Well… can animals practice martial arts and turn into strange beasts? Beast gods?”

“No, looking at this IQ, I will be so tired that I will vomit blood…”

Fang Xing threw his hands away with a look of disgust.

The catfish was thrown out again.

…

I don’t know how much time passed.

Crash!

With a splash, a fat catfish was caught out of the water and landed in front of a young man.

“What a big catfish!”

The boy is tall, with fair skin and mixed-race facial features.

He swung the fishing rod, skewered the catfish, and carried it toward his home.

This is a shantytown on the riverside, with slum-like buildings built using various discarded boards and cardboard.

And not far away, just across the wall, is the port city of Daluo – Xinfeng!
There, there are well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, rickshaw drivers, watchmakers… as well as ancient escort companies, martial arts schools, and medical clinics.

You can even see a few strange-looking steam buses passing by with thick packages on their roofs.

Most of these are technologies passed down from White Eagle, and are localized after entering Daluo.

It has a strong modern and contemporary flavor, and also has a somewhat weird feeling.

“Levi, are you back?”

A few middle-aged women in the shantytown greeted me: “Did you catch fish again?”

“yes.”

Levi smiled happily and returned to his shack.

It looked very simple, just a few wooden boards put together casually, but four people lived in it.

He began to cut the fish meat skillfully, thinking to himself: “It’s a good harvest today, I can go see Teacher Kyle…”

Teacher Kyle is a white man. Well, he calls himself a White Eagle, but to save trouble, Ronaldinho just calls him a white man because he has white skin.

It is said that he was once a very powerful knight and participated in several pioneering groups.

But later, when the Daluo Dynasty went to war with the White Eagle, he was hit by a sword on the knee and had to retire.

However, he did not develop hatred towards Daluo because of this. Instead, he felt that this continent, which the White Eagle Continent called the ‘Far East’, was full of gold and opportunities, so he chose to follow a martial artist and float across the sea.

As a result, the martial artist he followed, who was preparing to establish his own school in the Daluo Dynasty, had to abide by the local martial arts rules in order to open a martial arts school in Xinfeng City. He set up a fighting arena at the busiest intersection for seven days in a row and accepted challenges from various martial arts schools.

Then he was beaten to death by a martial arts school owner. Because he had signed a life and death agreement in advance, the other party refused to pay a penny…

The unlucky Kyle lost his job because of this, and then all his property was stolen by thieves. He wanted to use brute force to rob the thieves, but he was targeted by some thugs from the gang, who beat him half to death and threw him into the slums.

At this point, he had completely settled down. Now he was working as a laborer at the dock, carrying heavy bags and occasionally teaching some fighting techniques, hoping to save up enough money for a boat ticket and return to the White Eagle Continent…

Although Kyle looks miserable, he is also an incredible “master” to Levi.

And because he was a mixed-race, he actually didn’t have a good life in the Daluo Dynasty and was considered a marginal person.

He happened to have saved Kyle, so Kyle had a good impression of him and was willing to teach him something.

In the White Eagle Continent, it is equivalent to taking him as an apprentice, or at least calling him a teacher.

According to the simple ideas of the Daluo Dynasty, since you have become a disciple, even if you don’t have much money, you still have to show your gratitude by giving him some good things.

As he walked, Levi tossed a stone talisman in his hand.

This stone symbol is grayish white, and has some inexplicable patterns on it. It somehow appeared in the fish’s belly.

He didn’t take it seriously and just threw it into his pocket.

Not long after, Levi came to somewhere in the shanty area, carrying half a slaughtered fish.

The wooden houses here seemed more solid, and there was a fence around Kyle’s house.

In the corner of the wooden house, there is a clay pot with Chinese medicine boiled in it.

The whole room was filled with a bitter smell of medicine.

“teacher……”

Levi saw Kyle and raised the fish in his hand: “I caught a fish today…”

“It’s Levi.”

Kyle coughed.

He has a muscular body, golden curly hair and sapphire eyes.

But at this time, he was already obviously weak, obviously because he had not recovered from the serious injury and was also working hard.

The master and the apprentice simply cooked the fish and ate it. Kyle took another sip of the rice wine and then sighed, “How are you doing with the ‘Cross Breathing Method’ I taught you? This is the secret technique to become a formal knight. In the White Eagle Continent, many knight apprentices would never be able to achieve this in their entire lives… Alas, I couldn’t bear to see the school’s unique skills lost, and seeing that you have half White Eagle blood, I reluctantly taught it…”

“I haven’t gotten started yet…”

Li Wei looked a little unhappy: “What’s more… even if I learn the breathing method, I’m afraid I’m no match for those martial arts fighters…”

“What nonsense?”

Although Kyle’s words were stiff, he was clearly angry: “The way of the knight becomes stronger in the later stages, which is beyond your imagination…”

“Yes, yes, are you going to tell me about the legend that the Knight of Heaven can conquer the sky again?”

Li Wei rolled his eyes: “In Daluo, warriors who can fly in the flesh are called super-grade ‘Void Realm’… Oh, your first Knight of Heaven was killed by the Void Realm elder of the Cao Gang…”

“Well… Daluo is indeed a magical country.”

Kyle limped out to the fenced yard.

His disability was also the work of a Daluo warrior: “But you have no money and can’t afford the cheapest martial arts school tuition, so you can only learn my knight fighting skills… Now, continue.”

Levi immediately took off his shirt, revealing his lean torso, and crossed his arms in a cross shape, posing a strange posture.

As he continued to adjust his breathing frequency, the muscles in his body began to move slightly.

“Feel the wind, feel the earth… feel the fluctuations of life… you will find that the whole world is made up of different ripples, each with its own frequency…”

Kyle began to explain the key points of the cross breathing method.

“Your Daluo martial arts, the lower three grades are just so-so, just tempering the body… Our knight’s way is definitely not inferior in terms of tempering the flesh… If you wear special knight armor, you actually have a greater chance of winning and accelerate your development… A knight squire, if wearing armor, can definitely kill ten lower three grade warriors… It’s a pity that the highest level of combat power is not as good as Daluo…”

Kyle seemed a little regretful.

“Come on… you guys are wearing armor, but you’re asking to fight someone who’s not wearing armor…”

Li Wei habitually retorted: “What’s more, we actually have a lot of top combat power here, such as the Demon Cult… They will definitely not cooperate with the Daluo Dynasty, and they are even a huge burden…”

Bang!
While Levi was talking, Kyle suddenly made a move.

He had thick joints and big fingers, and he hit Levi hard in several places on his upper body.

With a crisp sound, that area immediately began to turn red and swell…

Levi shuddered all over, as if he had been electrocuted.

In this strange state, he insisted on the breathing frequency of the cross breathing method, and it seemed that he did grasp something, but he just couldn’t maintain it.

“I seemed to have some feeling but it disappeared…”

After a round of fighting, Levi looked at Kyle, whose forehead was covered with sweat, and bowed quickly: “Thank you, teacher…”

“This training method is very harmful to your body. You can’t stick to it for too long… Also, Levi, if you can’t break through to a formal knight before you are twenty years old, this training method will ruin you.” Kyle let out a long breath and said seriously.

“Twenty years old is enough…”

Li Wei smiled and said, “Teacher, how many children from the slums do you think can live to be twenty years old?”

Kyle sighed, “I have to save most of my money to buy a ticket back home… But before I leave, I will try my best to teach you. After you break through your breathing method, you can condense the seed of life and truly enter the realm of extraordinary knights. You can learn the true secrets of our ‘Red Snake Style’.”

“Red Snake Flow?”

Levi’s eyes lit up. This was something the teacher had never mentioned before.

“There are many schools of chivalry, just like the different martial arts schools and sects here… My school is called the Red Snake School, and it is a powerful school that has produced the Knight of the Earth.”

Kyle said proudly.

“That is, there are no super-quality products…”

Levi sighed: “It seems… I can only rely on my own efforts.”

In fact, having grown up in the Daluo Dynasty and been influenced by the surroundings, he had long felt that Daluo martial arts were superior, and he decided in his heart that after making his first pot of gold with the White Eagle Fighting Technique, he would still become a disciple of a famous and upright sect.

As for the Cross Breathing Technique? And the subsequent fighting techniques and the Red Snake Secret?
They are just steps and springboards!

…

Nightfall.

Levi returned to his home.

“Brother?”

A little girl with a red hairband immediately ran over.

“Dad, Mom…”

Levi touched the little girl’s head and greeted his adoptive parents.

His adoptive parents were of pure Daluo descent and were kind-hearted. It was said that they found him on a snowy day one year.

One look at his appearance and you’ll know why he was abandoned.

According to their speculation and Levi’s own conjecture, his mother should be a Bodhisattva from Xinfeng City.

Well, the Daluo Dynasty was quite barbaric and had a tradition of capturing foreign races as slaves.

The so-called “Bodhisattva Man” refers to the fair-skinned White Eagle women who were directly demoted to slaves after being captured.

There are many music halls and brothels in Xinfeng City, which employ a large number of prostitutes. It has become a popular project in recent decades.

“Xiao Wei is back? Have you eaten yet?”

Li’s mother asked.

“I went to the teacher’s house and had already eaten.”

Li Wei answered a few words, helped with the housework, and then lay down on the bed tiredly and fell asleep…
