Chapter 95 Talent Scarcity and Poaching Failure
Chapter 95 Talent Scarcity and Poaching Failure
"Zhou You, the owner of the museum is calling you,"
Lu Qiang walked into the outer courtyard martial arts training ground and saw Zhou You's fingers wrapped in white cloth. He frowned and asked, "How did you do that?"
The finger was swollen like a carrot and had expanded in size, obviously with injured tendons and bones.
Zhou You couldn't say that he overestimated his own abilities and used his fingertips to poke at the hard work of blood circulation.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "I accidentally broke it while practicing boxing."
"Be careful in the future."
Lu Qiang didn't care. It was inevitable to get hurt when practicing boxing. Who doesn't have a few injuries?
He asked Zhou You to follow him and asked casually, "Do you know Captain Qu?"
"We met once, what's wrong?"
Zhou You guessed that what happened today must be related to the incident with the flower thief that night.
Although the counterfeit one was beaten to death by him, the genuine one was still alive. He became more and more rampant and even killed Captain Chang's daughter.
This scumbag despises the poor and loves the rich. He only targets young ladies with prestigious status. Bah!
Lu Qiang did not answer, because while the two of them were talking, they had already walked into the inner courtyard and saw the owner of the museum, Wang Jianxiong.
"Master, Zhou You is here."
Zhou You looked up and saw Captain Qu standing and talking to Wang Jianxiong with a very peaceful attitude.
Although it is unclear what level of strength Captain Qu has, he is able to command all the detectives in the city, which means he is at least a skilled fighter. Combined with his status in the officialdom, he is also an important figure.
"Zhou You, come here, I have something to ask you."
Wang Jianxiong smiled and said, "I heard that you killed the flower thief."
"The owner is a fake, just a petty thief who pretends to be someone else."
Zhou You hastily corrected, "Captain Qu can testify."
Captain Qu nodded and said, "Yes, Master Wang, you have cultivated some great talents!"
"But……"
Wang Jianxiong's voice suddenly turned cold, "Why don't I remember teaching you Qinggong?"
A horrifying murderous intent suddenly appeared in the air, causing Zhou You's hair to stand up all over his body. The muscles in his arms and thighs tensed instantly. The next moment, a heart-wrenching tiger roar rang in his ears.
The owner of the museum, Wang Jianxiong, took action.
Zhou You didn't have time to think, he kicked the ground with his legs, "Tiger Leaping Gorge!"
He knew that if he was hit by a punch from the gym owner, even with his strong skills to protect himself, the outcome would not be good, and at most he would be left with an intact body.
The martial artist has absolute suppression over the Qi and blood, there is no chance of luck.
Faced with life-and-death threats, his potential was exerted to the maximum, and he couldn't help but use level 2 basic light skills.
The beauty of basic Qinggong lies in the word "basic", which can be seamlessly integrated into any identity.
Wang Jianxiong was as fast as lightning, and his tiger claws swept across the more than ten-meter-long corridor and covered Zhou You's body.
However, Zhou You's reaction was not slow either, and he jumped up on the spot.
Tiger Leaping Over the Gorge, an authentic set of moves for Subduing the Tiger Fist.
"Wow!", a roar of a young tiger emerged stubbornly amidst Wang Jianxiong's suffocating tiger roar.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou You jumped 7 or 8 meters high and dodged to the side.
It blows on the surface of the body and a strong wind as hard as a steel knife passes by from behind!
Zhou You's legs went limp when he landed on the ground. The old man was too cruel. If he had just stood there stupidly, he would have been torn into a pool of meat.
He was still secretly rejoicing when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
There was a rustling sound behind me, and my clothes became brittle as crumbs, and shattered into butterfly-like pieces when the wind blew.
"Haha, good boy, you have mastered this move to about 50% perfection."
Wang Jianxiong laughed heartily and told him to stop hiding and come forward to talk.
It turned out that the sudden attack just now was to test Zhou You's instinctive reaction.
Judging from the reactions of several people, Zhou You's performance was good and he passed the test. "Master, I told you that Zhou You's body movements were good. Although the person he killed was a fake, he was a master of the Dark Swan Fist."
"Just nod your head and let Zhou You go to help. I'll do you a favor."
Hearing this, Lu Qiang couldn't help but look at Zhou You.
Tiger Leaping Over the Gorge is a set of moves that every apprentice must learn when entering a martial arts school.
However, no one can practice to the level comparable to Qinggong like Zhou You.
The Subduing Tiger Fist is famous for its powerful punching force and strong strength, but it is not good at body movements.
Jianxiong Martial Arts School did not participate too much in the city-wide hunt for flower thieves, knowing that they could not catch up with the target and therefore did not join in the fun.
Unexpectedly, the district captain came to the door today and specifically asked for an apprentice from the outer courtyard, and that was Zhou You, who had little experience.
"I see!"
Lu Qiang recalled Zhou You's performance when he first started. He focused on the basic training of square and round steps and defensive hands, and had solid basic skills. That's why he was able to make great achievements in the Tiger Leaping Gorge move.
There are similar examples in martial arts schools.
For example, Zhong Shaoying, who was born a tenant farmer in a manor, followed his parents to farm and travel since he was a child. His legs were well-trained to be extraordinary. After practicing boxing, he specialized in the 'Tiger Tail Kick' and practiced it to perfection. Whenever he attacked, he would break the enemy's cervical vertebrae with his kick.
It is recognized that among the inner court disciples, Zhong Shaoying's leg skills are sharp and invincible.
Zhou You is similar to him. He was able to shine because his own talents met a matching set of moves.
In the current situation, everyone wants to catch and kill the flower thief, so masters of light skills are the most scarce.
Who could have thought that there would be an anomaly like Zhou You in the martial arts school?
Just now, Wang Jianxiong made a tentative move, and his move was so fast and fierce that even he was sweating.
As a result, Zhou You used the Tiger Leaping Over the Gorge move and narrowly avoided the strong wind.
This ability is enough to deal with Qi and Blood Warriors for several rounds.
However, Wang Jianxiong's next words surprised Lu Qiang again.
"You have quietly cultivated your strength to perfection, why didn't you report it to me?"
What, Zhou You has reached the level of mastered strength?
Lu Qiang's eyes were full of shock. He still remembered how immature Zhou You looked when he first joined the sect. How long had it been since then?
"You cunning boy, you tried to hide it on purpose, but you couldn't hide it from me."
Wang Jianxiong just swept his claws across Zhou You's back and immediately used all his strength to counterattack, but he was unable to find out his depth.
The ability to spontaneously defend and counterattack in the face of danger is a characteristic that only occurs in the proficient stage.
This kid Zhou You not only mastered the Tiger Leaping Gorge, but also cultivated his strength to a proficient level.
"The owner..."
Captain Qu thought it was just right, with the addition of such talent, there would be a greater chance of catching the flower thief.
"Sorry, people can't borrow it."
Wang Jianxiong had never met Zhou You before, so he didn't care. He was just an apprentice, so he just lent him the money.
But now he has changed his mind and decides not to lend it and wants to keep it for himself.
"Lu Qiang, Yan'er is in need of a guard. I remember Zhou You is free recently."
"That's right, Master."
Lu Qiang understood, "He just quit his job at the workshop and is about to take over as the young lady's bodyguard."
"It's him!"
Wang Jianxiong waved his hand and explained to Captain Ou, "Captain Ou, I have a daughter at home, too. I hope you can understand."
Captain Qu felt quite regretful when he knew that he couldn't borrow anyone today.
At the same time, he was also blamed for his mistake. If he had finalized the loan right away instead of waiting until Wang Jianxiong had tested Zhou You's abilities, things would not be the way they are now.
People with strong strength and good martial arts skills are particularly suitable for guarding against flower thieves.
Wang Lao Hu also has a daughter in his palm, no wonder he is reluctant to lend her out!
