Gou Zai Wudao Shi Lian Shen

Who is Shi Hao?

While the boys were practicing stance training, a group of outsiders suddenly arrived at the training ground.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties.

The man was slightly overweight, with a fair complexion and no beard. He wore a long silk robe, with a warm jade pendant hanging from his waist. His boots were also clean and presentable. He seemed to belong to a completely different world from the sweaty, dusty mountain village boys on the training ground.

He shouted at the crowd.

Several servants followed behind, each carrying a gift box.

Upon recognizing the person, Chen Chong's expression softened somewhat. He stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Manager Han, what brings you to my Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Academy today?"

The middle-aged man, Han Qi, returned the greeting with a smile.

"Master Chen!"

He is the head manager of Juxianglou.

This restaurant is quite famous in the south of Chixia County, and can be ranked among the top three.

Chen Chong's gaze swept over the gift boxes, and he already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on, but he still asked, "Manager Han, is there something you need here?"

Han Qi's smile deepened.

"Of course there is something."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the young men in the training ground once more.

"I heard that your school has produced a promising student who has mastered the Panlong Stance Technique in just three days."

"Fifteen years old, from Shiqiao Village, named Shi Hao."

"Although my Han family runs a restaurant and does business, we have always respected martial arts talents. Upon hearing this news today, I was delighted and thought I would like to come and meet this young talent."

Chen Chong's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but marvel at how well-informed these restaurant businessmen were; they learned the news in less than three days.

Then, he turned to look at the crowd.

"Junior Brother Shi."

"Come here."

Shi Hao is standing on a stake on one side of the training ground.

Hearing Chen Chong call his name, he slowly stopped his practice and looked up at Han Qi and his group.

"Shi Hao from Shiqiao Village greets Manager Han." As he approached, Shi Hao clasped his hands in greeting.

Han Qi looked him up and down.

The fifteen-year-old boy was wiry and strong, with slightly dark skin, and his eyes and brows carried the wildness and sharpness unique to mountain boys.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

Han Qi's smile grew even more warm and friendly.

"Brother Shi has mastered the Panlong Stance Technique in just three days; his future is limitless."

As he spoke, he turned and gestured to the servant behind him.

The servant immediately stepped forward and opened the gift boxes one by one, revealing strips of finely wrapped meat.

"My Han family runs Juxianglou. I can't speak for other things, but we can at least supply some meat."

"Brother Shi, this is the time to strengthen your bones and muscles and nourish your blood and energy. What you need most is meat."

"These are just a small gift."

"From this day forward, the Han family will provide Brother Shi with an unlimited supply of the fine meat he needs for his daily martial arts practice."

"As long as you can eat it, the Han family can afford to support you."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the training ground.

Unlimited lean meat!

These mountain village boys now have a daily meat ration, with each person receiving only two pieces, which is far from enough to meet their daily energy needs.

But when Han Qi spoke, it was an unlimited supply.

For them, this was something that seemed like a dream come true.

Lu Yuan stood next to Lu Chen, his eyes wide with astonishment.

"Brother Lu Chen, unlimited supply... I haven't eaten meat to my heart's content yet!"

Han Qi seemed to think that wasn't enough.

He then took out a red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Hao with both hands.

"In addition, my Han family is willing to provide two taels of silver per month so that Brother Shi can practice martial arts in peace."

"You don't need to do anything for the Han family with this money right now."

"I only hope that if Brother Shi truly breaks through to the next realm and becomes a martial artist, he will not forget this kindness we have shown today."

Clearly, this was Han Qi representing Juxianglou to make friends with Shi Hao in advance.

In a chaotic world, martial artists are synonymous with power. Restaurants, fearing trouble, need some martial artists who can keep the place in check.

Otherwise, it's easy for a powerful person to take over the entire restaurant and its owner.

Although Shi Hao is not a martial artist yet, the talent he has shown has made Han Qi very optimistic about him.

Placing bets in advance now is a good way to win people over.

If we wait until Shi Hao becomes a martial artist before recruiting him, we will lose the advantage of personal relationships, and the price we will have to pay in the future will inevitably be higher.

Chen Chong stood to the side, his expression shifting slightly.

An ordinary martial artist at the initial stage of the Blood Transport Realm, who works for a small family or shop, earns about two taels of silver a month as a stipend.

The fact that the Han family offered such a price to a young man who had not yet broken through to the next realm shows their sincerity and demonstrates that they truly believe in Shi Hao and think that his future achievements will not stop at the initial stage of the Blood Transformation Realm.

Shi Hao looked at the red seal in Han Qi's hand, and his breathing became noticeably rapid for a moment.

Two taels of silver.

His father went into the mountains to hunt, risking his life, and he might not even earn two taels a month.

In Shiqiao Village, two taels of silver is enough for a family to stand tall and speak with confidence.

Now, all he has to do is reach out and take it; the silver will be his.

There is also an unlimited supply of lean meat.

Shi Hao's heart was pounding.

He subconsciously looked at Chen Chong.

Chen Chong remained silent.

Han Qi smiled and said, "Brother Shi, there's no need to worry."

"I have already paid my respects to Master Qin regarding this matter."

"Master Qin said that the Han family's willingness to sponsor martial arts talents is a good thing. It will help the martial arts scene in Chixia County flourish."

"As long as Brother Shi agrees, that's fine."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's last bit of hesitation vanished.

Since the museum owner has already agreed, there is naturally no problem for him to accept the gift.

He reached out and took the red envelope, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you for your kind consideration, Manager Han."

"When I, Shi Hao, break through to a higher realm and become a martial artist, I will never forget the kindness shown to me today."

Upon hearing this, Han Qi smiled even more with satisfaction.

"good!"

"Brother Shi's words are enough."

As he spoke, he patted Shi Hao on the shoulder again, his tone as intimate as if he were looking at his own junior.

"Practice hard."

"With your talent, you shouldn't be held back by eating meat."

"From now on, I will have someone from Juxianglou deliver lean meat to the martial arts school every morning."

"If you need anything else, just send someone to Juxianglou to let us know."

……

With the Han family's visit, the boys practiced even harder.

If in the past, the idea that martial arts could change one's destiny was merely a legend, now they have truly witnessed the changes that practicing martial arts can bring.

When Han Qi handed over real gold and silver to Shi Hao, the young men truly witnessed the value of a martial artist.

"I, Shi Shaojie, will become the second genius to master stance training!"

From the crowd, a boy who also came from Shiqiao Village, like Shi Hao, shouted loudly.

"Fuck you, Shi Shaojie! I'm the one!" another teenager retorted.

Chen Chong watched the young people practicing the Panlong stance with great enthusiasm on the training ground. His brows furrowed slightly. He sized up the young people on the field and muttered to himself, "I wonder if there will be another Shi Hao among this group of young people."

He then shook his head. "Having one is already incredibly lucky."

A student who has mastered the Panlong Stance Technique in just three days is a rare find even in the entire Chixia County.

When Chen Chong's gaze swept over Lu Chen and Ma Sanjin, a hint of appreciation appeared on his face: "These two young men have been calm and diligent these past few days. No matter what happens, they only focus on their stance training."

"Judging from their increasingly diligent progress... they should be able to master the Panlong stance in just a few days."
