Chapter 39: Fist

After Zhou You finished his housework, he returned to the martial arts hall at noon.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tell his mother to ask Song Fugui to deliver oil to the house regularly so that he could show his face more often.

This move was a warning to the Yehu Gang that he was protecting Song Fugui, the oil seller, and they should not think about revenge in the future.

After returning to the outer courtyard, Zhou You's status was no longer the same as before, he had become a formal apprentice.

I also met a few unfamiliar faces on the way. They were new students who had paid to enter the museum recently, just like him yesterday.

These freshmen looked around curiously and were full of confidence in the future.

"So this is the official apprentice who has mastered his strength. He doesn't look particularly fierce."

Zhou You heard a few freshmen whispering and shook his head with a smile.

Formal apprentices have independent personal rooms that are spacious and tidy, and are cleaned by servants every day.

There are tables, chairs and tea sets in the room. When you have free time, you can open the window and look outside. The environment is nice and there are trees and bamboos in the flower beds.

If you feel thirsty in the middle of the night, there is a small stove under the windowsill where you can boil water and make tea.

Senior Brother Shen Sijing provides personal sponsorship, and every apprentice’s food, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided with high-quality goods, making them feel comfortable.

For just one season, there are five or six kinds of fabric materials for clothes, shoes and socks, enough to fill an entire suitcase.

If you don’t go out, you can ask the kitchen to deliver food to your door, and someone will clean up the dishes after you’re done eating.

This is much more comfortable than the life of a new apprentice.

What Zhou You is more concerned about is cultivation. Can a formal apprentice receive personal instruction from the master?
After becoming a regular employee, information about many martial arts schools became available to him.

Senior Brother Lu Qiang is truly the martial arts school’s number one worker.

Originally Zhou You thought that this senior brother only served as an enlightenment instructor for new apprentices. However, after he became a regular employee, he found out that this was just one of his part-time jobs.

In addition to guiding new students, he also has to give guidance to formal apprentices in their training.

In addition, he also has to take care of the owner's businesses inside and outside the city.

It is no exaggeration to say that this eldest senior brother takes on most of the family of the martial arts school and has many duties.

The martial arts school has a story about its past. Back then, the school owner came to Gongliang City alone, with only Lu Qiang by his side. The relationship between the two was far better than that of father and son.

"Can you handle this kind of hard work?"

Zhou Youxing was full of doubts.

Fortunately, Lu Qiang is a Qi and Blood Warrior, otherwise he would have been exhausted long ago with this intensity of work.

A few days later, the eldest brother Lu Qiang summoned him.

"Now that you have developed your strength, you are qualified to join my Jianxiong Martial Arts School. But remember, this step is just the beginning."

Lu Qiang looked at Zhou You and was surprised at how quickly he recovered.

Even with half a pill of the Mountain King's Life-changing Pill, Zhou You was still far beyond his expectations that he could get rid of the evil spirits and restore his body functions to normal in just a few days.

"Big Brother, please give me some advice on how to practice next."

The other formal apprentices have been practicing for a long time and have gained considerable experience, and are currently practicing elsewhere.

As a newcomer, Zhou You still has to accept the first lesson from the senior brother.

"When you first enter the realm of Jinli, you open the treasure door of your physical body. You can call upon the potential of your body and exert strength far beyond that of ordinary people."

"However, treasures are not for you to squander, but to use better for yourself."

"Strength comes from the potential of the body. Only by sorting out and studying the muscle texture, blood vessel flow, and bone structure, and polishing the strength to perfection and freedom, can we achieve it."

When Lu Qiang said this, he pulled out an embroidery needle from his sleeve.

This needle is made of fine steel, and the needle tip is as small as a sesame seed. It is almost invisible when pinched between the fingertips.

The tiny needle hole is just wide enough for a strand of hair to pass through.

“Look, using force to break stones is not a skill, but being able to concentrate the force to the thickness of a hair and pass through the eye of a needle without damaging the needle is the real skill of water dripping through a stone.” Lu Qiang flicked his index finger, and the force broke through the air and turned into a tiny thread that just passed through the eye of the needle.

The steel needle fell into Zhou You's palm. He turned it over and over and found no scratch on the needle.

With Lu Qiang's strength, even a fine needle forged from fine steel would be shattered into slag with a single impact of his might.

This shows that his control over strength has reached perfection.

"Big Brother, when the strength reaches this stage, can we touch the threshold of Qi and blood?"

Zhou You raised questions.

Lu Qiang tapped his forehead with a finger and said, "You are too ambitious. You deserve to be punished. Just concentrate on your cultivation."

What this means is that it will take him some time to cultivate his strength, let alone his qi and blood.

Zhou You was thinking, is this really too unrealistic?

He has the panel on him, and he will take one step at a time. He doesn't believe that he cannot meet the conditions for the Qi and blood barrier.

The practice of Subduing Tiger Fist from IV10 to Lv20 still has the original moves, but there are many more oral secrets.

After developing strong power, how do you apply it to your moves to double their power?

What details are the secrets to increasing and sharpening strength, and how can we practice to achieve twice the result with half the effort?
As the saying goes, true transmission can be conveyed in one sentence, while false transmission requires thousands of books.

The teaching of martial arts schools basically follows this model of gradual progress and gradual relaxation.

In fact, it is useless for new apprentices who have not yet developed their strength to get involved in this, and it will only cause trouble.

There was a case that was circulated within the martial arts school.

There was once a new apprentice who had been unable to break through his strength. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, he couldn't help but have evil thoughts. He climbed over the wall to peek at the training of the formal apprentices, and he saw a lot of it.

He thought he had unearthed a treasure, so he followed the same method to practice. However, he injured his internal organs and vomited blood. He died suddenly that night when he was taken home.

Every new student should learn this case and take it as a warning.

In the booklet on Zhou You's body, there is a record of Lu Zhigang's practice of the Goose Flying Fist, which describes in detail the gradual process over the years.

"By the way, when honing your strength, it is best not to work in isolation."

"Sometimes if you don't practice well enough and your movements are deformed, it's very easy to hurt yourself."

"You can practice with your boxing partner to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses. If you get injured, you can also massage each other's bones to correct them."

Zhou Zhouyou frowned. In this case, there would be no secrets at all.

I also have to practice the Yan Xing Fist, and I can't let outsiders know. If I spend every day with my fellow boxers, I won't be able to hide it.

However, he also knew that what Lu Qiang said made a lot of sense.

"You just got promoted, so I'll assign you a boxing partner. Li Hao, come here."

When Zhou You heard Li Hao's name, he thought to himself what a fate!
After Li Hao was called over and heard about the fist fight, his expression was a little hesitant.

Lu Qiang said to the two of them, "You two were the last to become regulars, and your skills are still shallow, so you're just the right pair to be together."

"Li Hao, take Dian Zhou You with you. He will practice with you in the eighth martial arts training ground from now on."

In the outer courtyard, the eldest brother’s orders cannot be questioned!

Although Li Hao was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree, "Zhou You, from now on you and I are boxing partners."

Each pair of boxing partners shared a training ground. When Zhou You was not here, Li Hao had the eighth training ground to himself.

However, Lu Qiang assigned him here, breaking his personal world.

After Zhou You learned the truth, he understood Li Hao's feelings very well.

After all, if it were him, he would prefer to have the spacious training ground all to himself rather than have a boxing partner by his side all the time.
