I can only beat noobs.

Chapter 19 "Three Yangs Body Forging"

"...That's just the way it is."

Following Wen Zehao's instructions, Chen Ming explained the situation to Huo Qianqian, who was standing opposite him.

Wearing a light blue training uniform, Huo Qianqian listened expressionlessly, her eyes fixed on the newly formed flower buds on the tea tree next to her.

Standing to the side, Wen Zehao was quite satisfied with his performance and pressed on, saying, "Junior Sister, Chen Ming and I came here to learn martial arts in the same year, and we're very close. Don't listen to any slanderous words from others..."

Huo Qianqian still did not react.

Only Chunmei, the maid who knew her personality well, knew that something was wrong and desperately tried to signal Wen Zehao with her eyes, telling him to stop talking.

Unfortunately, Wen Zehao only had eyes for Huo Qianqian and couldn't see anyone else.

Seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, Chen Ming took his leave.

As soon as he left, Huo Qianqian gave Wen Zehao a cold look and said, "Wen Zehao, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Wen Zehao was taken aback. "What makes you say that?"

"Humph."

Huo Qianqian turned and left.

The maid Chunmei stamped her foot, gave him a disappointed look, and chased after her mistress.

"Little junior sister..."

Wen Zehao shouted urgently, but dared not chase after him into the yard. He could only wait anxiously at the gate.

……

Stupid.

Chen Ming hadn't walked far when he heard Wen Zehao's aggrieved shouts, and he thought to himself, "This is what I mean."

If the Huo family were to fall into the hands of someone like that in the future, their future would be bleak.

He shook his head and returned to the training ground.

Then, he started practicing with the students.

You have defeated another level 7 enemy, gaining 2 experience points.

You have defeated another level 8 enemy, gaining 2 experience points.

……

Zhang Mingyu sat in the pavilion, leisurely drinking tea with his fifth junior brother, glancing over there every now and then.

This is why he doesn't object to Chen Ming being his student's sparring partner; it makes his job much easier.

"Chen Ming does have some talent in boxing."

He commented, "It seems his boxing skills have improved again after not seeing him for a few days."

After saying that, he glanced at Hong Mingquan and asked, "Do you think he's qualified to be a coach?"

Hong Mingquan laughed and said, "Chen Ming is able to keep these kids in check, so he's more than qualified to be an instructor."

Zhang Mingyu took a sip of tea and tentatively asked, "Junior Brother, what do you think? If I suggest to Master that he take over teaching these kids instead of me, would Master agree?"

"It's hard to say. My master probably wouldn't let an outsider be an instructor."

"Ugh."

Zhang Mingyu sighed softly.

He longed to venture out into the world rather than remain an instructor here teaching these students. However, his master refused to let him leave.

He naturally dared not disobey his master's orders.

Chen Ming's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope.

Whether it succeeds or not, he has to give it a try.

……

In one morning, a total of seventeen people came to spar with Chen Ming, contributing 34 experience points to him. This is a significant reduction compared to before.

The only good news is that the minimum experience points are now two.

He comforted himself in this way.

In the afternoon, Chen Ming went to the Deng residence again to ask Qi Jun and the others to spar with him.

"Senior Brother Chen, you've finally arrived."

Qi Jun and the others were very enthusiastic. Ever since they learned that their elder brother was going to take the martial arts exam, they were also excited and eagerly waiting for their elder brother to join the Six Doors so that they could do something great together.

It was rare that all eight of Deng Ziyang's younger brothers came.

When he left, Chen Ming had gained 16 experience points.

Added together, that's a total of 50 points.

……

And so, Chen Ming spent his days working as a sparring partner to earn experience points, and his nights studying the cultivation technique at home. His days were quite fulfilling.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

It was early morning, just as dawn was breaking.

In the courtyard, a group of boys around ten years old were already standing in a row, from tallest to shortest, awkwardly standing in their stances.

Chen Ming held a ruler in his hand and patiently corrected their postures one by one.

He said, "Same as always, the last three people to survive will be rewarded with malt candy."

Upon hearing that there was maltose to eat, many of the little ones had already swallowed their saliva, determined to get their hands on it.

After a while, some people started to give up. It was like a chain reaction; several people gave up one after another. In the end, only four people were left, their legs shaking, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

After a while, one person finally gave up.

There are three people left.

Chen Ming did not call a stop; what followed was a match between these three.

In the end, it was a little boy named Li Jian who persevered to the end. His clothes were made of the worst material, but his willpower was the best.

His family lived in the next alley; his father and brother were both carpenters.

After receiving the maltose, Li Jian did not immediately open it to eat, but carefully put it into his pocket.

"Next, I'll test if any of you are slacking off."

Chen Ming waited for them to rest for a while and regain some strength. He then had them stand up straight and gave them a push.

One push and he'd tumble over.

You have defeated another level 0 enemy, gaining 2 experience points.

……

This is why Chen Ming took these people in.

You can easily gain experience points.

This system is very rigid; as long as he defeats another person, it counts as a "defeat." He is guaranteed to gain at least two experience points each time.

Even if the other party is just a ten-year-old boy.

These ten little boys provided him with 20 experience points each day.

It's much easier than being a sparring partner at the Huo residence.

If I recruit a hundred students one day, I'll earn two hundred points.

Chen Ming felt that he had exploited a bug.

……

Around eight o'clock, the little boys left.

It was agreed from the beginning that I would be taught for one hour in the morning.

Next, it's breakfast time.

Chen Ming opened the control panel while eating breakfast.

【Level: 10】

Current points: 960

[Techniques: Iron Horse Stake (Fifth Level Perfection), Three Yang Body Forging Technique (Beginner 2/100)]

Martial Arts Skills: Three Talents Fist (Mastery 27/500+), Eight Trigrams Saber Technique (Beginner 55/100+)

"So that nameless martial arts manual was called 'Three Yang Body Forging'."

He was delighted.

After spending half a month studying it, I finally figured out this technique last night.

Next, you can directly add points to increase your proficiency.

After finishing his meal, Chen Ming returned to his courtyard and added 100 points to his account.

【Level: 10】

Current points: 860

[Techniques: Iron Horse Stake (Fifth Level Perfection), Three Yang Body Forging Technique (First Level 2/1000)]

Martial Arts Skills: Three Talents Fist (Mastery 27/500+), Eight Trigrams Saber Technique (Beginner 55/100+)

Instantly, he felt a surge of scorching heat coursing through his body, causing a strange change. However, this change was subtle, and he couldn't immediately perceive its effects.

"Strange, the first level only requires 1,000 experience points?"

When Chen Ming saw this, he felt that it was a bit unreasonable.

Reaching the fifth level of "Iron Horse Stakes" requires a full 2000 experience points. Why does the experience required decrease after leveling up?

"It seems there are still many aspects of this system worth studying."

Suddenly, someone outside called out anxiously, "Second Young Master, officers from the Six Doors have arrived."

People from the Six Doors?
Chen Ming's gaze sharpened, he responded, and walked out.

……

In the hall, a constable dressed in a black uniform with sharp eyes sat there imposingly. He was not old, but the official uniform and the sword at his waist gave him an air of authority.

Chen Rui sat beside him, and it was clear that he was putting on a brave face, but was actually panicking. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his younger brother arrive, and hurriedly said, "This is Lord Wang from the Six Doors. He said he has some things he wants to ask you."

"You guys chat."

He left after saying that.

Chen Ming sized up the constable. His black clothes indicated that he was the lowest-ranking officer in the Six Doors, a ninth-rank officer.

Nevertheless, he remained an official.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials.

Chen Ming bowed respectfully, "I didn't know Lord Wang had come to see me. What is it you wish to ask? I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

Wang Mingyang was also scrutinizing him, not missing a single detail. When he spoke, he was aggressive and demanded, "Did you kill Xiao Lin?"
