Martial Arts Godhood: At the Start, Rebels Asked Me to Be an Undercover Agent

Upon hearing his master Wei Zhongxing's words, Cheng Hu immediately stood up and replied, "Master, he has come to become an apprentice and learn martial arts."

"Become an apprentice? Learn martial arts?" Wei Zhongxing listened, repeating the question as he walked towards the entrance of the main hall.

Cheng Hu had already gotten up and brought out a chair from inside, placing it by the door.

Wei Zhongxing sat in the chair, looking at Xiao Wang, "You want to learn martial arts?"

"Yes."

"Why are you learning martial arts? Do you want to apply to Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy?"

Xiao Wang nodded. "Yes, the entrance exam is in a few months, and I want to work on my skills."

At this moment, Cheng Hu had already brewed a pot of tea and brought it to Wei Zhongxing's side. Wei Zhongxing picked it up, took a sip, and continued to ask, "Since you want to apply to Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy and have come to me to become my disciple, have you inquired about me beforehand?"

Xiao Wang glanced at Wei Zhongxing and, without hiding anything, answered honestly, "I've heard a little about it. I heard you used to be a teacher at Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy."

"Looks like you did do some research. So, you know I was expelled?" Wei Zhongxing asked Xiao Wang.

"I have heard of it."

"Then why did you come here to become my apprentice? Aren't you afraid that when you take the exam, the teachers there will find out and make things difficult for you?"

"Will they make things difficult for us if they find out?" Xiao Wang didn't answer, but asked in return.

"Hahaha, you're quite something, kid. Do you know why I have so few disciples? In all these years, I've only had two. It's because they all think that when they try to become my disciples and apply to Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy, the teachers there will make things difficult for them. Of course, another reason is that my standards are indeed a bit high. Are you afraid they'll make things difficult for you?"

Xiao Wang looked at Wei Zhongxing and said, "In martial arts, the first thing to consider when choosing a master is strength."

"Stop flattering me, are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid... of course I'm not, but it would be best if they didn't make things difficult for me."

Wei Zhongxing listened, glanced at Xiao Wang, and smiled: "Not bad, don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either. If you're afraid of trouble, what's the point of learning martial arts? Just be a coward. What's your name?"

Xiao Wang: ...?

"Xiao Wang"

"Since you're applying to Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy, you must have studied martial arts, right?"

"I learned some of it in school."

"I have requirements for accepting apprentices. Let me see your foundation."

Xiao Wang looked at Wei Zhongxing and replied, "But I haven't tested absolute muscle control."

Wei Zhongxing listened, swallowing the tea in his mouth. "What's the point of testing that stuff before reaching the first limit? Actual combat strength is the most important thing."

"Is that useless?" Xiao Wang asked, somewhat puzzled. "But Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy requires a test."

"I'm not saying it's absolutely useless. If you want to break through the first and second limits of martial arts and move upwards, of course it's useful. I ask you, can you break through the first limit?"

"Not yet," Xiao Wang replied.

"What do you mean you don't have it now? Do you think you can break through the first limit in the future? Let me tell you, don't underestimate the first limit of martial arts. The entire Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy might not produce one in a year. Okay, I'm getting off topic. Let me check your foundation first."

"How do you test it?" Xiao Wang asked, puzzled.

"How do we test him? Through combat, of course. Cheng Hu, go and gauge his strength."

After Cheng Hu finished brewing the tea, he had been shelling edamame on the side. Upon hearing Wei Zhongxing's words, he immediately stood up, walked to the front courtyard, bowed to Wei Zhongxing, and asked, "Master, shall we go all out?"

Wei Zhongxing picked up the teapot, took a sip, and said, "You decide what to do."

"Okay."

Then Cheng Hu turned around and looked at Xiao Wang, "Young brother, go all out, I'll hold back."

After hearing Cheng Hu's words, Wei Zhongxing sighed and said, "How could I have taken in such a thing? Why are you still learning martial arts? You might as well become a cook."

Cheng Hu was not angry or discouraged at all when criticized by Wei Zhongxing, as if he had already gotten used to it.

Xiao Wang looked at Cheng Hu, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Senior Brother Cheng, you don't need to hold back, just unleash your full power."

"That's more like it." Wei Zhongxing also became a little interested.

Upon hearing Xiao Wang's words, Linghu Ke, the second disciple who had been sitting and watching silently, also cast a strange glance at Xiao Wang.

Cheng Hu also cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Wang, "Young brother, are you sure?"

"Confirmed." Xiao Wang looked at the bead in his mind and replied. The damage to the bead had just been cleared, and at this moment, only a little bit of the damage from the Phase II trial drug was in light gray, which was still far from being completely black. There should still be a lot of damage that could be absorbed.

"Then I won't hold back."

"please."

After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he immediately got into a fighting stance.

Cheng Hu stood opposite Xiao Wang, keeping a slight distance between them. Then, he pushed off with his back foot and charged forward, rushing towards Xiao Wang.

It was very fast and agile, unlike anything one would expect from someone with a physique over 1.9 meters tall.

Seeing this, Xiao Wang knew that his opponent was a formidable fighter. He also pushed off with his feet and charged towards his opponent. In fact, his speed was not only no slower than his opponent's, but even slightly faster.

"Huh? That's interesting." Wei Zhongxing was slightly surprised by Xiao Wang's speed, and even paused in his tea-drinking motion.

In the field.

The two quickly engaged in combat.

Cheng Hu threw a hook punch directly at Xiao Wang's abdomen, while Xiao Wang countered with a side hook aimed at Cheng Hu's cheek.

Both men were very fast. As they threw their punches, they also made evasive movements. Xiao Wang turned to the side, causing Cheng Hu's punch to miss. Cheng Hu then tilted his head, and Xiao Wang's fist grazed his earlobe.

The force of the punch whipped up his hair, making each strand stand on end.

Only then did Cheng Hu understand that Xiao Wang wanted him to give it his all.

Then, Cheng Hu unleashed two more punches, increasing his speed even further from what he had just thrown.

Xiao Wang was startled, realizing that Cheng Hu had been holding back. He had no choice but to dodge to the side again, while simultaneously bracing himself with one hand on the ground and springing up with both feet, aiming straight for Cheng Hu's face.

Cheng Hu watched, but instead of dodging, he directly delivered a flying kick, taking the full force of Xiao Wang's leg attack.

The two men's legs collided.

boom!

A dull thud.

Then, Xiao Wang felt as if he had kicked a concrete pillar. It was not only extremely hard, but also had a huge reverse impact force. For a moment, he felt like his leg was about to break.

At the same time, the body was hit by a huge force, lost balance, and was pushed back seven or eight steps before regaining its footing.

In contrast, Cheng Hu remained standing in the same spot, without taking a single step back.

"You flatter me." Cheng Hu bowed to Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang returned the greeting, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother."

Only then did Xiao Wang realize how vast the gap was between himself and Cheng Hu.

At the same time, he looked at the bead in his mind, whose color had changed from light gray to deep red.

"One kick, and the damage is so high, it's truly terrifying." Xiao Wang thought to himself, with such a huge gap, it might be a bit difficult to become an apprentice.

He stood there looking at Wei Zhongxing, who took a sip of tea and asked, "Which middle school did you go to? It's such a waste of your talent."
