Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

Qinyun Martial Arts School.

Bang bang bang!

Li Nian used both hands as claws to practice the ten stances she had mastered the day before, one by one.

After a full day of training yesterday, my physical fitness has improved. When I practice the stance, I can clearly feel that the load on my muscles and bones is not as great as yesterday, and the stance is also much more stable.

However, it was only a day, and his physical improvement was not significant. The high-difficulty load on the pile frame still caused him pain all over his body.

After setting up ten stakes, my clothes were soaked with sweat.

The healed fingers split open again, and blood kept flowing out.

Looking at the finger, Li Nian remained expressionless, as if she felt no pain.

Pain?

Compared to the hardships and injuries he endured in the army back then, this minor injury is simply insignificant!

"My physical condition is still too weak; I need to train more!"

Feeling the condition of her body, Li Nian's gaze sharpened.

His years of martial arts experience taught him that to achieve mastery in martial arts, one must study diligently and practice assiduously.

When learning martial arts, one must not be afraid of hardship or pain.

Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others.

This is the highest motto in martial arts!

There was no slackening.

Keep practicing!

After reviewing the ten stances she had mastered yesterday, Li Nian practiced the remaining eight stances.

The later the moves, the more difficult they become.

However, Li Nian had disassembled the stakes before, and with her martial arts experience, the difficulty was greatly reduced.

Just as Li Nian was practicing his stance training without feeling tired, a pair of beautiful eyes were watching him from not far away the whole time.

"I have mastered the four piling frames."

As noon approached, Li Nian stopped, resting one hand on her knee, panting as she wiped the sweat from her face, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

By the end of the morning, he had mastered four new piling frames.

At this rate, we should be able to get the remaining four pile frames sorted out by the afternoon.

Once you have mastered the entire set of stance training, you can try to perform it in a continuous manner.

As I was lost in thought, a slender figure walked over.

"Not bad, you've mastered fourteen piling frames in less than two days."

"Although the piling system has not yet met the standards, it is already taking shape."

"I only taught you once, without giving you any guidance in between, and you were able to figure it out on your own. Your comprehension is indeed quite good."

"With this comprehension, if you continue to practice like this, you will soon master the entire Eagle Stance. If you continue like this, there is a high probability that you will be able to sense the Qi and blood within the next three or four months."

Xia Qingwei parted her lips slightly, lavishing praise upon herself.

She had seen Li Nian's hard work and practice over the past two days and was very satisfied.

"You flatter me, senior sister."

Li Nian straightened up and cupped her hands in greeting.

"Keep practicing your fists and singing your tunes; keep up the good work."

"Junior brother, remember this!"

Their conversation attracted the attention of a group of outer court disciples.

"Stop pretending to be a martial arts fanatic. Practicing so hard makes us look lazy."

"I just started learning martial arts out of curiosity and excitement. I couldn't keep it up for more than a few days. Aren't many people like that?"

"How about we make a bet and see how many days this kid can last?"

"Heh, if he can hold out for three days, I'll eat the shit in the martial arts school's latrine!"

Li Nian ignored the doubts and ridicule from others.

Having lived two lives, he has gained considerable insight into human nature.

No matter where you are, as long as you work hard, there will always be people who are jealous of you and will gossip about you in an attempt to disrupt your mindset.

If you care too much, you'll only fall into their trap!

Soon, it was time to serve lunch.

Li Nian took two large white steamed buns, took out two meat fritters she had brought that morning from the storage cabinet, and began to eat them while leaning against the wooden post.

Just as I took a couple of bites, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old timidly walked over, carrying a bundle of cloth.

"Senior Brother Li, these are pickled vegetables from my family."

"Thank you for sharing your meat sesame flatbread with me yesterday."

The boy spoke shyly as he unfolded the cloth in his hand, revealing the pickled vegetables inside.

The boy was the one who had been watching Li Nian from the corner after receiving his share of the meat pie yesterday.

"Thanks."

"You joined the martial arts school before me, so I should be calling you senior brother."

Li Nian accepted the pickled vegetables without hesitation.

He joined the martial arts school yesterday, and no one has joined in the past two days.

Therefore, he was the junior disciple at the martial arts school.

"No, no, I only started learning the art two days earlier than you. My aptitude and comprehension are both inferior."

"Even my second senior sister praised your comprehension just now, and you mastered the stance training faster than I did."

"In martial arts, those who have mastered the art come first; I should call you senior brother."

The boy waved his hands repeatedly.

Does mastery of martial arts come first?

Li Nian nodded knowingly.

This rule is different from the previous martial arts school's rule that the first person to enter is considered the elder brother.

It's no wonder, really.

In the world of cultivation, the strong are revered!

Li Nian didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the title of "senior brother," handing a meat-filled flatbread to the boy.

"for you."

"Senior brother, you mustn't..."

"Junior brother should listen to his senior brother; if I tell you to take it, you should!"

Upon hearing this, the boy had no choice but to accept the meat-filled flatbread.

Eat and chat.

Li Nian learned that the boy's name was Wu Hong, and that he had an older brother named Wu Changfeng who worked as a laborer at the Yuehu Mine.

To help his younger brother succeed, Wu Changfeng worked tirelessly in the mines and saved every penny to send his brother to a martial arts school to learn martial arts.

Speaking of Moon Lake Mine, Li Nian couldn't help but glance at the storage ring on his finger.

This ring was found by Zhang Daniu while he was working in the field at the Yuehu Mine.

He had assumed that a storage ring was a common item for martial artists, but when he arrived at the martial arts school, he didn't see anyone wearing one.

Doubting the value of the monastic vows is far beyond imagination.

Therefore, he dared not use the storage ring in public.

He understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

While they were eating, several disciples who had gone out for a meal rushed back to the martial arts school in high spirits, as if they had won the lottery.

"This is fantastic news! Haoran Martial Arts School and the Zhang family are at war!"

"Really?"

"It's absolutely true! Zhang Tianqi, the second young master of the Zhang family, personally led a group of people, using various pretexts, to smash up all the teahouses, taverns, gambling dens, and other establishments under the Haoran Martial Arts School!"

"Did they start fighting?"

"A fight broke out, a real fight with real weapons. Su Jingheng and Xiong Gang from Haoran Martial Arts School led a group to attack Zhang Tianqi. The commotion was so great that even Zhang Jinghu, the eldest son of the Zhang family, showed up."

"Su Jingheng and Zhang Jinghu, two of the Four Heroes of Qianhu!"

"Zhang Jinghu truly lives up to his reputation as the foremost of the Four Heroes of the Thousand Lakes, a genius with one foot already in the realm of Dark Force. Even with Xiong Gang's assistance, Su Jingheng and his companion couldn't gain the slightest advantage and were instead forced into a retreat by Zhang Jinghu!"

"Well done! That sly Su Jingheng, who ambushed Senior Sister, deserved to be beaten!"

Qinyun Martial Arts School and Haoran Martial Arts School are mortal enemies, and everyone in Qianhu County knows them.

Some time ago, Qin Geyue, the senior sister of Qinyun Martial Arts School, was ambushed and seriously injured by Su Jingheng, the senior brother of Haoran Martial Arts School, which exacerbated the conflict between the two martial arts schools.

Seeing their arch-rival suffer a setback, everyone at the martial arts school was naturally delighted!

"The Zhang family wields immense power in Qianhu County. How dare the Haoran Martial Arts School provoke them?"

"You guys don't know this, do you? The relationship between Haoran Martial Arts School and Zhenwei Martial Arts School is quite special."

"Just as Zhang Jinghu was about to take down Su Jingheng and Xiong Gang, Ji Zheng, the guest master of Zhenwei Martial Arts School, blocked Zhang Jinghu's way."

"Ji Zheng, the Fiend! Ji Zheng, son of the General Who Guards the West, who broke through to the Dark Force realm at the age of twenty-five!"

"That's right!"

"No wonder Haoran Martial Arts School dared to provoke the Zhang family; it turns out they have Zhenwei Martial Arts School backing them up."

"And then?"

"The matter escalated too much, and the county government intervened, taking everyone away..."

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Li Nian was slightly surprised.

If nothing unexpected happens, the trigger for all of this was what he said to Zhang Tianqi yesterday.

He had expected the Zhang family to cause trouble for Haoran Martial Arts School, but he hadn't anticipated it would escalate to this extent.

A moment later, a sly smile appeared on Li Nian's lips.

"excellent!"

"The bigger the better!"

"The bigger the fuss, the less attention anyone will have for me!"
