"What did you learn in the martial arts academy?" Tang Ansheng asked casually.
Geek!
This question was even more pointed than the previous topic of "Do you have any friends?" and it made Xia Fan's heart rise to his throat.
He couldn't say that he learned nothing in the martial arts academy.
"I have learned it. I have learned it."
Xia Fan nodded frantically, stood up and gestured twice, saying: "I learned the Black Tiger Fist and the Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife in the martial arts academy. I can beat several people by myself without any problem."
In order to prevent his old man from being suspicious, he laughed and hit him a few times, and you know what, he did it quite well.
"I'm not lying, am I?" Xia Fan consoled himself, "After all, I really learned this at the martial arts academy."
In fact, he wasn't lying.
Anyone who enters the town's martial arts academy will be taught some martial arts moves. After a year of practice, Xia Fan can now easily fight off three or four ordinary people with his bare hands.
If he picked up a knife and faced seven or eight ordinary people without weapons, he would be able to defeat them.
He was surrounded by thugs in front, but he did not resist because he had no weapons and would be at a disadvantage in a fight.
Secondly, the leader, Er Gouzi, is a guy at the first level of physical training. It would be difficult for him to win in a one-on-one fight, not to mention that the opponent has several helpers.
Xia Fan thought he was fighting properly, but in Tang Ansheng's eyes, he was just like a dog crawling.
What Black Tiger Fist? It's even worse than Meow Meow Fist.
"That's all?" Tang Ansheng sat on the chair and glanced sideways. Even the young man Xia Fan could see the disdainful expression on his face.
"Black Tiger Fist? I see you're using Black Cat Fist."
Facing his father's disdain, Xia Fan quickly said: "Old man, don't underestimate me. I have been practicing for a year, and my master said that I am good at fighting."
This is the truth. Judging from the moves alone, Xia Fan's Black Tiger Fist is almost as good as those teaching masters in the martial arts academy.
But there are only some moves left.
He lacked the most crucial artistic conception.
Unfortunately, his aptitude for martial arts training was too poor and he had no future. The teachers only tried to complete the teaching tasks assigned by the martial arts academy, so they just mentioned him briefly and didn't think about how to teach him at all.
Xia Fan also knew the importance of artistic conception, but he had never seen a real tiger. No matter how much he practiced, he could only copy others.
The fact that he was able to master the moves to a level almost as good as his master was due to his hard work and practice.
"I'll just perform once, and you'll have to watch."
When Tang Ansheng's words came, Xia Fan hadn't reacted yet, he saw his old man jump up from the chair, and there were crackling sounds all over his body.
The other person stretched his body, and suddenly pounced towards him, with a withered hand grabbing him.
"Roar……"
In a trance, Xia Fan saw a colorful tiger with hanging eyes pouncing towards him, and the hair on his body stood up in an instant.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"
Extremely dangerous signals came from his brain, urging him to escape quickly.
But for some reason, his legs seemed to be welded with cement and he couldn't move at all.
"Boom..."
Xia Fan felt a chill on his forehead. When he looked again, there was no such person as the ferocious tiger. It was clearly his old man, and he was lying on a chair and looking at him.
"Grandpa, what did you do?!" Xia Fan was shocked.
With this skill alone, no other master in the martial arts academy can match him.
Perhaps only the dean of the martial arts academy can do it.
"I saw a big beast when I was young," said Tang Ansheng.
The image of the ferocious tiger just now was a simulation of the tiger he accidentally encountered while traveling in the Xia Xing world.
He played out the tiger imagery from his memory, wanting to see how good Xia Fan's martial arts were.
Unexpectedly, even when his finger touched the other person's forehead, the other person was still frightened and stood still, not daring to move.
In other words, if Xia Fan really encounters a tiger, his performance will not be much better than it is now.
"Ah, old man, have you ever practiced Black Tiger Fist before?"
Just seeing a giant tiger doesn't mean you can use the Black Tiger Fist.
Qianxunэ⒈二⑧㈠㈣①㈢九
Although the Black Tiger Fist is not a unique secret technique, it is something that is common everywhere.
However popular it is, it is only in the hands of warriors. How can ordinary civilians be qualified to learn it?
You know, in order to enter the martial arts academy, the old man paid most of his life's wealth—fifty taels of silver.
One tael of silver was enough for a family of five to live on for a month, which was a full fifty months, or four years.
It may not seem like much, but it's hard to calculate. A family of five cannot save much money after deducting living expenses throughout the year.
To earn fifty taels, you have to tighten your belt and save for ten years.
This is the case for a family of five, not to mention the old man who is old and can still save up this fortune alone.
He is quite a well-known figure.
Tang Ansheng sat on the chair and said slowly, "I've practiced a little bit. Why, do you want to hear my past stories?"
"Yes, I do." Xia Fan nodded, "But it was sixteen years ago."
The old man never talked about the past, he only started from the time he picked up an orphan like him.
It seems that there is some taboo about the past.
Therefore, Xia Fan knew a lot about the old man's affairs in the past sixteen years, but he didn't know anything before that.
But the point is, what is there to talk about in the past sixteen years? He knows that.
Therefore, when the old man in front started telling a story again, he interrupted him quickly because he was really tired of listening to all these things.
"To tell you the truth, your grandfather used to be a general of the Yu State."
"Yu State?" Xia Fan was stunned. He had never heard of this country.
The country they are in now is called Wu.
"The Yu Kingdom disappeared decades ago," Tang Ansheng said. "Then the Wu Kingdom was established, and it has continued to this day."
"Oh, I see. Wait, General?"
Xia Fan obviously noticed the words in his grandfather's words.
"To be able to become a general, the old man must have been a great man. How could he end up like this, guarding someone else's grave?"
Xia Fan looked at his grandfather's thin figure and suddenly realized that if the State of Yu was destroyed, what role could the generals play?
"Looking at the old man's appearance, he can only be a minor general at best, but I have to flatter him a little to make him happy."
The old man finally told me what happened in the past, and he would not be so tactless as to say nonsense.
Xia Fan asked wisely, "Old man, what kind of general were you before?"
He made up his mind that no matter whether he had heard it before or not, as long as the old man opened his mouth, he would start to flatter him.
"It's not that big, just a champion marquis." Tang Ansheng waved his hands, seeming to be unconcerned.
"Oh, not that big..."
Xia Fan subconsciously flattered: "Old man, Champion Marquis is very powerful, if it were me, I might not... Wait, what, Champion Marquis?!"
Outrageous.
Although he didn't know the State of Yu, he knew the State of Wu. After all, they were living in the territory of Wu now.
"What are the conditions for Wu's Champion Marquis?"
"Being the bravest among the three armies is just the entry requirement, right? Is the old man so powerful?"
There was five parts of shock and five parts of disbelief in Xia Fan's eyes.
If the old man was really the Marquis of Champion, how could he have fallen to this point.
Without going into other details, just regarding the State of Wu, they would either ask him to surrender respectfully and then reward him with a bunch of things, or send people to hunt him down and kill him.
There was no way he was left out alone.
But the old man has lived alone outside for so long, and no one has come to visit him.
"Don't believe it?" Tang Ansheng raised his eyebrows.
"No, no, no, I believe it, I believe it." Xia Fan said quickly.
"It's normal that you don't believe it." Tang Ansheng nodded.
Because he made this up in the first place.
Judging from the memory fragments of this body, he was indeed a member of the Yu State army, but he was just an ordinary soldier, far from being a champion marquis.
Moreover, from the founding of the State of Yu to its demise, there was only one Marquis Guanjun, but that man had died in the battle that destroyed the State of Yu.
As for why the State of Yu was destroyed, there are only some sporadic speculations in the memory fragments of this body, that is, the emperor of the State of Yu obtained the treasure of the immortals.
This is clearly just a mortal country. If you get the treasure from the immortals but don't hand it over, you deserve the death penalty.
So overnight, the entire royal family of the Yu State was slaughtered.
As for the army outside, they were swallowed up by the Wu family.
Later, the Wu family established a country called the Wu Kingdom, which has continued to this day.
"Immortal treasure..." Tang Ansheng thought to himself, "It seems that there are so-called immortals in this world?"
The army suffered heavy casualties at that time, but many people still escaped, and the owner of this body was one of them.
Logically speaking, in the State of Yu, only the royal family was destroyed, but the army still existed. The Wu family was just a family, and even if they had accumulated experience for many years, they did not have the ability to wipe out the army of the State of Yu in one battle.
It was entirely because the earth was shaking and the flying sand and rocks swept the army. In just the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and only a small number of people escaped.
Then, the owner of this body fled all the way to Shijia Village, and finally settled here.
But for some unknown reason, although the escape was dangerous, most of the dangers came from wild beasts or fellow fugitives.
The State of Wu did not send anyone to kill them all.
The owner of this body was able to live in Shijia Village on the border of Wu State for decades, and eventually died of a cold.
"After so many years, the emperor and generals of the Wu Kingdom may have changed two or three times."
"Except for archival records, no one knows about the earth-shattering battle that took place at that time."
According to the memory fragments, the flying sand and rocks that swept through the army were extremely fierce and were far beyond Tang Ansheng's ability to deal with.
"It seems that the energy level of this world is much higher than that of Xiaxing World."
Tang Ansheng sat in a chair thinking. Xia Fan didn't dare to disturb him. He could only pick up the fan beside him and squatted beside him to fan him.
"Were you expelled from the martial arts academy?"
Tang Ansheng spoke out of the blue, scaring Xia Fan quite a bit.
"Master, I...I...didn't, who told you that?"
The old man spent most of his life's wealth to send him to a martial arts academy, but he dropped out after just one year. He didn't mind it, he just felt it was a pity.
But if the old man gets sick from anger... he would rather die than refuse.
"You told me."
"I?"
When did I say that?
Xia Fan was puzzled.
"Your body." Tang Ansheng stretched out his right hand and pointed at his forehead, saying, "When I touched your forehead just now, I knew that your blood and qi were not good."
"Although stronger than ordinary people, he has not yet reached the first level of physical training."
"After a year in the martial arts academy, you haven't even reached the first level of physical training. I don't think they will keep you unless you pay a large sum of money, right?"
