My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 212 Liuhe Pavilion

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a while and chose the first answer, saying that he came to learn skills from a master.

"After hearing your intention, the martial arts school disciples brought you to the master of the martial arts school. After testing your physique, he felt that you were a good candidate for martial arts training, so he accepted you as his disciple."

"You have entered the Liuhe Martial Arts School."

"Would you like to choose some gift for the martial arts master?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought that the more courtesy you receive, the less blame you will get. This principle would probably work in any world. Even if the other party doesn't like it, at least they won't be disgusted.

"You opened your trick bag and found the remaining meteorite debris."

"Give these meteorite fragments to the martial arts gym master and tell him that this is a token of your disciple's love. These meteorite fragments can help the master refine a weapon of excellent quality."

"You have lost, meteorite fragments x3."

"After the martial arts master got the meteorite fragments, he showed a satisfied look on his face. Although he didn't expect his disciples to give him anything, the meteorite fragments in your hand are what he needs right now."

"It can completely integrate these meteorite fragments into its own spear to improve the quality of the weapon in its hand. This way, it will be able to greatly increase its chances of winning when facing the White Water River God in the future."

Baishui River God?

Jiang Xinghuo noticed the pop-up text, but he didn't know whether this Baishui River God in the underworld was the dead big catfish in the world of the living, or a native creature of the underworld.

At this time, the game text changed again.

"You gave the master of the martial arts hall a gift as a disciple. As a master, it naturally could not remain indifferent. It gave you the big gun it once used, and taught you all the basic boxing and gun manuals."

"You have obtained the steel gun."

"Diangang Spear (Ordinary Equipment), a 120-foot-long spear. The spear shaft is made of the dark wood of the underworld, and the spear tip is mixed with steel and dipped in gold. It has the property of being indestructible and can cause % damage to defensive armor."

"Practicing the unique art of spearmanship with this spear can improve your proficiency by 40% and help you master the techniques of spearmanship quickly."

"You have obtained the Bajiquan Manual (Elementary)."

"Bajiquan Manual (Ordinary Skill), a close combat boxing method passed down from the traditional Chinese martial arts. It is fierce and explosive, and has the effect of strengthening the muscles and bones and sharpening the qi and blood."

"If you can practice this boxing technique to perfection, the Qi and blood in your body will be boiling like a furnace, and it will be easy to kill ordinary ghosts and evil spirits. Even if you fight against those monsters head-on, you will be able to win."

"You have obtained the secret manual of the Liuhe spear."

"Six-in-one Spear Secret Manual (Excellent Skill). Weapons are an extension of fists and feet. The Six-in-one Spear is an extension of Bajiquan. It can exert extremely terrifying power. It can also assist fist techniques in strengthening muscles and bones. Taking a person's life is as easy as plucking flowers and cutting grass. It is always effective."

"It can even transform the Qi and blood in the body into various forms, and mobilize the power of all things to attack the enemy. It is the supreme skill of the Baji School."

"Do you want to practice Bajiquan and Liuhe Lance right away?"

Jiang Xinghuo naturally would not choose to refuse, and clicked on the study button without hesitation.

As the game text prompt flashed across the screen, Jiang Xinghuo felt an electric current spreading through his body and moving quickly through his nerves.

The tricks of boxing and gun techniques were also quickly established in his nerves, as if he had studied diligently for many years. There was no trace of unfamiliarity or sluggishness, and he could master the boxing moves and gun techniques effortlessly.

“This feeling is really good…”

Jiang Xinghuo murmured a few words. He didn't need to spend any more time to practice the skills he got in the game. He was able to use them freely as long as he was familiar with them. "You have won the favor of the martial arts master."

"In the next period of time, you should study hard and practice diligently in the martial arts hall. In a few days, the master of the martial arts hall will go to challenge the White Water River God. You disciples can also help."

"However, your various actions and the attitude of the martial arts master towards you have aroused the jealousy of other disciples."

"Especially the blood-stained Baji disciple who led you in."

"It is considered the founding disciple of Liuhe Martial Arts School in the underworld. It was originally a dead soul. By chance, it became a disciple of the owner of Liuhe Martial Arts School and practiced Bajiquan and Liuhe Daquan with him."

"It originally wanted to rely on the Qi and blood power of Bajiquan to gradually condense its soul body and eventually transform it into a physical body."

"However, it lacks talent. After years of hard training, it is unable to condense a true body. It can only practice Bajiquan and is not qualified to practice Liuhe Lance at all."

"But now, you have just entered the martial arts hall, and you have taken advantage of the situation to gain the master's favor and obtain the training methods of Bajiquan and Liuhe Lance. It is natural that it feels unfair."

"So, it has challenged you. Do you want to accept its challenge?"

Jiang Xinghuo found it a little funny when he saw the game text. He didn't expect that such a thing would exist in this strange world.

"You accepted the challenge."

"You didn't choose to use the Liuhe Spear, but only used the beginner's Bajiquan to fight with the opponent."

"Although you have only practiced the entry-level Bajiquan, you are not at a disadvantage when fighting against that ghost."

"But no matter what, the other party has practiced for longer than you and knows more boxing techniques than you, so you still ended up at a disadvantage."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to use the Liuhe Lance to defeat it cleanly and neatly, or will you give it a chance to save face in front of the other disciples by admitting defeat?"

"Note: Your choice will affect the martial arts master's opinion of you, and will also affect the subsequent mission plot."

Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly. If there wasn't the following text, he might have chosen the former and just beat this blind guy to death.

But the choices you make now may affect the plot later, so you have to act carefully.

I am just a newcomer, and being too aggressive may not be a good thing sometimes.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xinghuo had an idea in his mind, and he chose the latter option.

"You chose to surrender, giving the other party a way out, allowing it to retain its dignity as a senior brother in front of the many disciples in the martial arts hall."

"What you did was also noticed by the martial arts master. At night, he had someone call you to his room."

"The martial arts master said that it saw everything that happened during the day. You were clearly able to use the Liuhe Spear to defeat that ghost. Why did you give up and admit defeat?"

"How are you going to answer next?"

“1. When competing with fellow disciples, winning or losing is not important; improving your own skills is the most important thing.”

"2. They are afraid that the other party will retaliate against them in the future, so they are willing to admit defeat in order to keep things peaceful."
