Domineering

Chapter 1-Awakening
In the early hours of the morning, the sky was smoky, and the sky above Daning Guoxiushui City seemed to be covered with a layer of blue mist, and a waning moon framed the horizon, emitting a faint silver glow.

Just as the dawn was about to break, Chu Xisheng followed a bodyguard team composed of twelve carriages to the gate of Sitong Escort Bureau.

At this moment, many bodyguards and troopers in the bodyguard team felt relieved, and completely relaxed their spirits. A group of people talked and laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was joyful.

Chu Xisheng also smiled and said a few words of support to his companion, but declined the invitation to go to Baihualou to drink flower wine together.

Everyone didn't take it seriously, an older bodyguard smiled even more and patted him on the shoulder, jokingly said: "Isn't Xiao Chu shy? This can't be done. I have already promised the girls in Baihualou that I must take you there this time." , They are all waiting to eat your little brother Chu's head soup, such a handsome little brother, who will be cheaper today?"

Chu Xisheng was suddenly embarrassed, and he cupped his fists apologetically: "I really don't have time, today is the inner martial arts test in Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall, and I really can't get away. Next time I have time, I will have fun with my brothers."

When the bodyguards heard the word 'Zhengyang Wuguan', they all showed signs of change.

The older bodyguard even slapped his forehead: "Yes, martial arts test! Xiao Chu, you are an outer disciple of Zhengyang martial arts school, how could I forget this? Then you go quickly, don't miss the time, this is you big day."

They then handed over the escort goods and settled the salary. To Chu Xisheng's delight, the magic silver handed over by the deputy escort was astonishingly six taels of money.

Chu Xisheng put the money in his arms, took out his luggage, a paper umbrella, and a spare single knife from the carriage, and hurried to the south of the city.

At this time, the rising sun has dispelled the darkness and dyed the clouds in the sky into a gorgeous and magnificent morning glow.

Wisps of warm morning light fell from the sky, covering the entire Xiushui City with a layer of golden brilliance.

Chu Xisheng felt a little uncomfortable, only feeling a faint tingling pain in the skin under the sun, mixed with bursts of burning sensation.

This burning pain far surpassed that of the past, making Chu Xisheng frowned slightly, and began to worry about his physical condition.

He stared intently ahead, to be precise, at an illusory screen in his field of vision.

The screen is located in the upper right corner of Chu Xisheng's field of vision, and can be zoomed in and out freely with the mind.

Character: Chu Xisheng
Fame: none
Martial Arts: Chasing Wind Saber Remnant Form (first level)
Yuan Gong: Yang Yuan Gong (first level/not entered)
Martial Arts Points: None

Talent: Kuaishou

Status: Liuyin Resurrection Curse

Lifespan: 17 days

In the lower right corner of this line of words, there is also a gray icon with the words 'Budao Treasure House'.

Three months ago, when Chu Xisheng first traveled to this world, this phantom screen was in his field of vision. At first he thought it was also a system, and he was looking forward to it.

Chu Xisheng has read many articles on the Internet, and knows that anyone who traverses systematically must be extraordinary.

Becoming an immortal and ascending to the throne is like nothing else, but killing gods and Buddhas is also child's play.

With System Dad, you are on the road to success.

However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Chu Xisheng studied for a long time, but failed to find out why.

In the past three months, he has tried various things, cultivated diligently, cultivated energy and wielded a knife, and even fought monsters to upgrade, but there was no obvious movement on the system panel.

Only in the column of Martial Arts, the words Yang Yuan Gong (First Level) and Chasing Wind Saber Technique (First Level) appear, but these are all the results of his own hard work.

The character panel on the screen seems to be just a character panel.

This thing has only one function, allowing him to accurately judge his state and lifespan.

Chu Xisheng only looked at it for a moment, and felt the burning pain inside and outside his body became more obvious, as if his whole body was about to burn from the inside out.

He glanced at the 'Liu Yin Resurrection Curse' with a wry smile, then propped up the paper umbrella he carried with him, and continued to walk quickly to the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall.

Zhengyang Wuguan is only three streets away from Sitong Escort.

It covers an area of ​​[-] mu, occupying five entire streets, and outside stands a two-foot-high bluestone wall that stretches for several miles, making it look like a small city.The south gate is seven rooms wide, covered with red lacquer, with copper inlaid door beams, and the four strong and straight characters of "Zhengyang Wuguan" are engraved on the top.

There are also two stone lions squatting on both sides of the door, which are very imposing.

When Chu Xisheng arrived, the place was already overcrowded.

People from all directions gathered continuously and poured into the martial arts hall.Inside the gate is a bluestone school field that is as big as six football fields. There are more than a dozen wooden sheds and more than 30 wooden platforms temporarily built inside.

There were crowds of people under the wooden platform, not only gathered countless teenagers who participated in the inner martial arts test, but also many ordinary people who came to watch the excitement.

Chu Xisheng stepped through the door and was looking around, but someone slapped her shoulder hard.

"Xiao Chu, are you back?" The female voice was crisp and clear, but the words were a little vague.

Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the familiar voice, and turned around.

The one who patted him on the shoulder was Ye Zhiqiu, the head coach of the martial arts school.She was wearing a purple dress, her figure was taller than ordinary women, her phoenix eyebrows were like a moon, and her face was beautiful. It should be due to her martial arts practice, her skin was a healthy wheat color.

She was lazily carrying an epee, her bright eyes were a little bit sleepy, she gnawed on the meat bun while talking: "Your bodyguard team returned to Xiushui yesterday, why did it take so long?"

Chu Xisheng was about to explain, but saw Ye Zhiqiu walking towards the corner next to him.

He understood it, and tacitly followed him to an alley where no one was around.

Ye Zhiqiu leaned against the wall nonchalantly, and hooked his hand at Chu Xisheng: "Did you bring it?"

Chu Xisheng hurriedly took out a money bag from his sleeve and handed it over. He was a little guilty, but his face was calm: "Coach, a mere gift is not a respect, I hope the coach will accept it."

Ye Zhiqiu was noncommittal, she took the purse and weighed it, and immediately frowned, even the buns in her mouth didn't smell good: "Why are there only so few?"

The magic silver in the bag is only about 80 taels.

She felt a little headache and said: "You make it difficult for me to do this. You haven't learned all the wind chasing swords, so you can only take the path of being selected without the test. But even if you are selected without the test, there are requirements. Your saber talent It's not bad, but the body is too weak. What's more, there are only [-] exam-free places, so many people inside and outside Xiushui are staring at it."

Chu Xisheng's expression was embarrassing, and she knew she was wronged.

80 taels of magic silver was originally enough to manage the martial arts gym, but a month ago, the Zhengyang martial arts gym was upgraded to a government-run martial arts gym in Xiushui County. From now on, all true disciples from the back door can directly obtain eighth-rank military positions in the Daning Army .

Zhengyang Wuguan was originally a branch of Wuxiang Shenzong, one of the six great immortal sects. The number of inner disciples was already tight, but now that they are under the cover of an official, the rules and fees for the exemption from examinations have increased.

But at the moment the money is shy, Chu Xisheng can only be thick-skinned: "It's a little less, I will take a few more darts next month, and ask the instructor to go to Zuilongju for a drink with all the instructors. Right now, I will ask the instructor to see what the disciple is all about. For the sake of learning, let the Internet be open!"

"Drunken Dragon Residence?"

As soon as Ye Zhiqiu heard these three words, he seemed to smell the strong aroma of wine from Zuilongju.
She smacked her lips, feeling that the bun in her mouth was even more tasteless.

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's hesitation, Chu Xisheng's mind was a little more relaxed, and he knew there was something going on.

This coach Ye is notoriously hard-faced and soft-hearted, so he has to sell and sell,
"Teacher, you know the situation of my family. I am not in good health. I have no one to rely on in Xiushui City. I have a younger sister to support. I can only gather so much for the time being. Please ask the teacher to make it work! This disciple will definitely become famous in the future. Give the instructor a face!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu gritted his teeth and muttered, "Here we go again."

She threw the leftover meat bun to a dog next to her, and turned to look Chu Xisheng up and down.

The young man was about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a coarse cloth shirt that was washed white with starch. He was tall and tall, with elegant and elegant features. The most memorable thing was the pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes. With a bit of a smile.

Only the skin was so white that it was almost transparent for some reason, without a trace of blood.

But this sick and weak state makes people feel more pity.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help seeing the look of reminiscence, Chu Xisheng couldn't look at this face, it reminded her of her younger brother who died young.

She then thought that although this guy didn't learn all the sword skills, he did have some talent in the way of the sword.The two brothers and sisters in the family are not in good health, and they are struggling to make a living in Xiushui City. Chu Xisheng's spending of the money today must have taken out his entire family.

Ye Zhiqiu then restrained his emotions, turned around and walked towards the north of the school grounds.

"Forget it, for the sake of you usually come to things and understand the rules, I will help you this time. I will save the money for you first, and pay it back to me in a month. Drunken Dragon Residence can't be less—"

Chu Xi smiled and hurriedly followed behind her.

Along the way, many people and martial arts disciples saluted Ye Zhiqiu, all of them looked solemn and respectful.

Chu Xisheng is not surprised. Ye Zhiqiu was born in the Northern Army of Great Ning'an, and retired a year ago due to injury to work in the martial arts school.

She has been teaching in the martial arts school for more than a year, and she is famous for her fairness and kindness.

In addition, the Anbei Army guards the northern border of Daning, with strict military discipline and great reputation. Xiushui City has always been under the protection of the Anbei Army's wings.

They soon came to the north of the school grounds, in front of a high platform made of blue stones.

Chu Xisheng looked up, and saw not only a group of middle-aged martial artists in brocade robes sitting on the stone platform, but also more than a dozen military generals in armor, and six green-robed civil servants.

At the top of the center is a man in his forties, with regular facial features, and a curly beard and hair.

This man was sitting on a grand teacher's chair with a big horse and a golden sword, and a pair of tiger eyes like copper bells stared at the four directions, with extraordinary momentum.

"You wait here!" After Ye Zhiqiu ordered, he stepped onto the stage and bowed respectfully to the person above him.

"My lord! If one of my subordinates wants to recommend someone to enter the inner gate, please be exempted from the entrance examination."

"Exemption from the test?" The owner of the Zhengyang Martial Arts School is named Lei Yuan, his eyes slightly opened: "Who is it? Is there a reason for the exemption from the test?"

Ye Zhiqiu clasped his fists calmly: "My lord, this son's name is Chu Xisheng. He has excellent bones and excellent understanding. He is an excellent martial arts seedling. The only difference is that he is young and he learned martial arts later. I didn’t learn all the wind knives, and I couldn’t pass the outer martial arts test. Ye Mou didn’t want to miss a good talent, so he asked the museum owner to grant him an exemption from the test.”

The owner of the hall, Lei Yuan, heard this, but he was noncommittal: "Where is this son? Let him come on stage and show me."

At this time, not only the many martial artists and officials on the stage looked down the stone platform.Even the martial arts disciples under the stone platform, as well as the common people who watched the excitement all looked over here.

Chu Xisheng lifted his spirits, walked onto the stage calmly and calmly, and saluted the hall owner Lei Yuan: "My disciple pays homage to the hall owner!"

The owner of the Zhengyang Martial Arts Hall is not only one of the few fifth-rank masters in Xiushui County, but also a military officer of the imperial court who is serious and eight-class.

When the owner Lei Yuan glanced over with scrutiny, Chu Xisheng suddenly felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, as if his body had been penetrated by insight.

"It's him?"

After about three breaths, Lei Yuan put away his knife-like gaze, and looked at Ye Zhiqiu suspiciously: "You said he has a good foundation and excellent understanding?"

Ye Zhiqiu didn't change his face, and said calmly: "Master, this subordinate can use his reputation as a guarantee! This son is very savvy in saber techniques. Although he hasn't learned all the wind-chasing sabers, some of them are of extremely high standards. Martial arts of lower grades may not be able to match it, but they are indeed very talented and can be cultivated."

When Ye Zhiqiu said this, he raised his eyes and gave Lei Yuan a suggestive look: "Master, more than 20 martial artists in our East Campus are willing to be talented and teach them, and please let the master do it!"

Lei Yuan immediately understood that what Ye Zhiqiu said was that more than 20 martial artists under her were waiting to share the money.

Chu Xisheng's face was a little red.

This is a bit too much, he didn't learn all the wind chasing knife, he's a damn ninth rank.

But I can also understand that if Ye Zhiqiu didn't praise him as a flower, why would he recommend him?
Chu Xisheng could clearly feel the disgust in Lei Yuan's eyes.

Lei Yuan and Ye Zhiqiu looked at each other from afar, their gazes collided for a moment, and then they smiled helplessly: "This kid is not weak in talent, he is indeed a piece of rough jade, if he can be well trained, he will achieve extraordinary things in the future, Coach Ye, please don't let me down."

The common people and martial arts disciples in the audience were all buzzing when they heard the words.

"The level of Chasing the Wind Knife has reached the ninth rank? This boy is not yet 14 years old, right? He is as thin as a bamboo pole, and it looks like he will fall when the wind blows. Is it true?"

"It should be true. Who is Coach Ye? How could she lie? Since she said that this young man has reached the ninth rank, he must have this level."

"Coach Ye was once the sixth-rank Zhaowu captain of the Anbei Army. He has made great military achievements. It must be extremely talented to be praised by her like this."

"This boy is quite handsome, but why is his face so pale? Could it be some kind of illness?"

They were quite sensitive about the matter of being "selected without examination", but Ye Zhiqiu was well-known and well-known, and he was always convincing.

What's more, even Lei Yuan, the owner of the pavilion, also said that this child is not weak in talent and will achieve extraordinary achievements in the future, so it must be true.

Chu Xisheng could tell what was going on. The owner of the pavilion, Lei Yuan, should have recognized the matter with a pinch of his nose. At the same time, he also made a request to Ye Zhiqiu that he must achieve something and not let him down.

At this moment, Chu Xisheng's eyes flickered, and a bright firework suddenly exploded in his field of vision.

He was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked at the illusory screen in front of him.

To Chu Xisheng's surprise, this system panel, which he hadn't figured out after three months of research, unexpectedly changed strangely at this moment.

Character: Chu Xisheng
Fame: Ninth rank lower (virtual)

Martial Arts: Chasing Wind Saber Remnant Form (first level)
Yuan Gong: Yang Yuan Gong (first level/not entered)
Martial Arts Points: 5
Talent: Kuaishou

Status: Liuyin Resurrection Curse

Lifespan: 17 days

The 'no' originally displayed in the reputation column has been replaced by the words 'Nine Rank Lower (Virtual)'.

Chu Xisheng lost his mind for a while, and was beyond surprised.

What made him even more delighted was that the column of Martial Arts Points below had also changed from 'none' to '5'.

Even the gray 'Treasure of Martial Arts' in the lower right corner suddenly became brighter.

The system was activated? ?
Chu Xisheng's heart was beating like a drum.

This damn broken system, no!System dad finally made a move.

Chu Xisheng glanced at the words, and when his thoughts stayed on the 'Treasure of Martial Arts', a picture similar to Taobao Mall suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

There are fourteen colorful product icons inside.

Chu Xisheng looked at the two icons ahead.

That's a special offer for beginners—Eagle Eye, which makes people as sharp-eyed as an eagle. With the dynamic vision of a goshawk, it can accurately see the enemy's flaws.

The original price requires 10 martial arts points to exchange, but this price is marked with a red X, and it shows that you can buy it with 2 points.

Special offer for beginners - the first stage of the hand of chasing the wind and electricity, allowing people to chase the wind and follow the electricity with their fingers, and have twice the speed and dexterity of ordinary people.

The original price required 20 martial arts points to exchange, but currently only 4 points are required.

Chu Xisheng was amazed. He exhausted all kinds of methods but still couldn't figure out how to use this system. Why did it suddenly change today?

Could it be because of Ye Zhiqiu's words in public?

When Chu Xisheng was surprised by this, he heard a chuckle suddenly from behind: "Wait a minute!"

Following the sound, a martial artist in brocade robes led a young man out of the crowd.

"My lord, I have a more suitable candidate here, he is a hundred times stronger than this one."

Ye Zhiqiu looked back at this person, and his face sank suddenly: "Shao Lingshan! I am using the nomination quota from our East Court, and it has nothing to do with your West Court!"

However, Shao Lingshan gave a disdainful chuckle: "The exemption quotas given to the various courtyards by the museum owner are for you to select talents for Daning, not for you to use your public possessions for private use, and to take some wine bags and rice bags in to waste national funds."

He pointed at Chu Xisheng with his finger: "Master Ye, the exemption requirements for our martial arts school are at least above-average comprehension and roots, special talents, or mastery of the second of the ten foreign arts to the beginner's level.

Look at this guy, a weak and sick ghost, do you dare to say that he is qualified to be exempted from the test?I'm afraid it wasn't you who gave him privately and took his money? "

Only then did Chu Xisheng wake up, and he frowned slightly, with a look of anger in his eyes.

He also felt that it was a bit hot to get this spot, but he was extremely upset when someone pointed his nose at him and scolded him for his wine bag and rice bag.
