Chapter 29: Phantom
Chapter 29: Phantom
Early in the morning, Zhou You left home and rushed to Jianxiong Martial Arts School.
He has decided that he will apply to his senior brother Lu Qiang for regularization assessment today.
The internal mechanism of the martial arts school eliminates the weak and retains the strong, the capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones give way, and you are not allowed to be low-key.
Once you become a regular employee, the tiger bone ointment that was once every 7 days will become once every 1 days. Only a fool would miss this benefit.
What's more, in order to fight against the giant Wild Fox Gang, Zhou You needs a martial arts school as a backing.
Nothing is more important than the identity of a true apprentice, which can protect your family and deter the younger generation of villains.
"Go quickly, go quickly."
As soon as Zhou You stepped into the gate of the martial arts hall, he saw many new disciples rushing in a certain direction.
"What happened?"
"Fang Guiqi applied for the regularization test. It is said that he developed strong power last night."
Zhou You's heart beat violently several times, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart.
This mysterious roommate had a huge secret and chose this day to apply for permanent employment.
Zhou You clearly saw that he threw away all the tiger bone paste, so how could he still build up his strength?
This is weird!
There are only two possibilities: he is gifted and can break through his strength without the secret medicine, or he has other channels to obtain the secret medicine.
Either way, the roommate's presence was too dangerous.
Zhou You's heart moved, and he quickly ran forward through the crowd. He wanted to see what was going on.
On the flat ground outside the courtyard, Lu Qiang looked at Fang Guiqi in front of him and confirmed again, "Do you want to take the test?"
"Reporting to my elder brother, I have already mastered my strength and am qualified to be listed as a formal apprentice."
Fang Guiqi usually keeps a low profile and does not show off his abilities. Now, there are still three or four days left before the 3-day deadline, so he can be said to be making a breakthrough at the last minute.
There are many apprentices like him. After all, not every apprentice is like Li Hao, who has the talent and financial resources to shorten the breakthrough cycle.
"it is good……"
Suddenly, an old voice came from the inner courtyard, "Ahem, wait a minute!"
Hearing this voice, Lu Qiang was startled and turned around to salute respectfully behind him.
"Master!"
All the new disciples were shocked. What happened today? The owner Wang Jianxiong was going to show up too!
Many of them have only met Wang Jianxiong once since joining the martial arts school.
This famous martial artist in the city usually trains his disciples in the inner courtyard and rarely shows up.
Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, the owner of the museum, Wang Jianxiong, holding his pipe, walked through the inner courtyard gate and onto the flat ground of the outer courtyard.
Several inner court disciples followed behind him, and more formal apprentices filed out from the side, including Li Hao who had just been promoted to a full-time apprentice.
"Master, why are you here? It's just a small matter."
Wang Jianxiong waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, just continue."
Lu Qiang turned and looked at Fang Guiqi, "Fang Guiqi, you said you have developed strength, it is easy to verify."
"Pick a hardwood stake and break it, and you'll be able to turn regular."
Fang Guiqi clasped his fists towards him, walked to the hardwood pile, took a deep breath, and his body temperature rose. His fists instantly swelled to the size of bowls.
The wind around became stronger, which was the effect caused by the operation of the force.
Zhou You stared at Fang Guiqi's limbs and bones. Yes, it was a sign of an explosion of strength.
With a roar of a tiger, he punched as fast as the wind and roared like thunder, and his fists filled with power blew the hardwood stakes in pieces!
"Ahem, not bad!"
Wang Jianxiong spoke, and there was some approval in his tone.
The apprentices all showed envious expressions. Fang Guiqi was favored by the owner and had a bright future!
But the next moment...
"Lu Qiang, did you see that too?"
"Strength is generated by the flesh and blood, and it best reflects a person's inner nature."
"You can see that his energy is not pure, but only on the surface. It cannot resonate with the flesh. It is clearly a ghost covered in human skin."
Wang Jianxiong's words were hard to understand, and by the end, he was on the verge of a fight, full of murderous intent. Not good!
When Zhou You heard the last word "virtual charm", he felt the hairs on his body stand up and goose bumps appeared on his skin.
The danger came without warning.
In his sight, Fang Guiqi looked like a wild mountain cat with its fur standing on end, and the outline of his body exploded into a ball of thorns.
Whether it was skin, clothes, nails or hair, countless sharp thorns like needles suddenly appeared.
In just one breath, he had become completely inhuman.
There was an ominous smell in the air, and a suffocating feeling enveloped the outer courtyard of the martial arts hall.
"Master, please step aside and let me send him away."
Lu Qiang respectfully asked Wang Jianxiong for instructions.
Wang Jianxiong shook his head. "This old bone hasn't been moved for a long time. It's a good time to loosen it up."
He stood up and took a few steps forward. "You really think the tiger has changed to a vegetarian. How dare a little ghost in a human skin sneak into the martial arts hall?"
"This is my territory. Are you sneaking in here to deliver food to me?"
The old voice suddenly became high-pitched, like a thunderclap exploding out of nowhere, making everyone's eardrums buzz.
Fang Guiqi's facial features were distorted beyond recognition, his body was hunched over like a wild beast, he lay on the ground and suddenly jumped up, with a sound like tearing silk.
This jump, both in terms of speed and power, caused the expressions of the surrounding apprentices to change drastically.
Even Li Hao, who had trained himself to be very strong, couldn't help but take a few steps back. If he was pounced on by the opponent, he would surely die.
"Well done!"
Wang Jianxiong raised his skinny right hand and pushed it towards the void. His skin expanded with air and silver lines appeared on the surface.
In the blink of an eye, his right hand swelled into a silver tiger claw, which hit Fang Guiqi in mid-air as fast as lightning and without any error.
Fang Guiqi flew backwards, knocking down a wall, and smoke and dust rose several meters high on the spot.
"Master is mighty!"
Several trusted disciples complimented him.
But the danger is not over yet.
Suddenly, a shadow emerged from the dust.
It is time to return to Qi.
This low-key new apprentice no longer looked like a human anymore, with most of his skin and flesh peeling off, leaving only wriggling mucus exposed.
"Xu Mei, what kind of monster is this?"
Zhou You's three perspectives were greatly shocked. It turned out that there were even more mysteries in this world.
I thought Fang Guiqi was at most a spy, but it turned out that he was not even a human being.
During this period of time, what on earth had I been living with for three months?
"careful!"
Fang Guiqi rushed left and right, and several apprentices were accidentally hit. Their bones and flesh were as thin as paper and were torn apart easily.
Every time he lunged and charged, he exerted a force of at least a thousand pounds, which was simply not something a freshman who had not yet developed enough strength could defeat.
But Fang Guiqi suddenly turned and rushed towards Zhou You.
Zhou You noticed that there was a hint of cunning in the other party's seemingly crazy eyes.
Fang Guiqi was seriously injured by Wang Jianxiong just now. He pretended to be irrational, but in fact he was looking for a chance to escape.
Wang Jianxiong and his inner court disciples stood guard at one side. Although there were many new apprentices left, they were actually the weakest point.
Therefore, his ultimate goal was to carve out a path of flesh and blood and escape from the outer courtyard of the martial arts hall.
"Ferocious, cunning, cruel, and disguised, what kind of creature is this?"
Zhou You took a deep breath, his body temperature rose sharply, and his strength rushed to his hands, ready to go.
At this time, he only had a chance of survival if he tried his best to save himself.
