Chapter 14: True Mystic Technique!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The yo-yo in Yan Zhenghua’s hand played a few tricks nimbly, and he continued, “As it is too lethal, I can only use this yo-yo as a substitute! If you master it in seven days, the fee is 1,000!”

Looking at the other party’s somewhat wretched gaze, Lu Ren clenched his fists. He really wanted to hit the other party’s vile face.

Seeing Lu Ren’s anger level rising rapidly, Yan Zhenghua was surprised. “You don’t like it. Fine. I like choosy fellows like you. I still have more!”

“Lightning Poison Dragon Drill!!!”

Yan Zhenghua stood firmly on one foot, the sole of his foot sliding continuously to make himself spin.

“It was a unique skill originally created by Tiger Wang of the Dragon Tiger Sect. At first, it was a fantasy, but after my improvements, it has become a lethal leg technique. To master it in half a month, the fee is 1,500!”

Lu Ren could no longer hold it in. With his anger at its peak, he politely and tactfully rejected him, “I’m sorry, I prefer to play with weapons.”

“Weapons?”

Yan Zhenghua was stunned for a moment before he said, “Do you know why I haven’t gotten married all these years?”

“I’m sorry, we have been in contact for not more than half an hour. I really wouldn’t know your marital status.”

“However, from the look of it, you’re definitely destined to be single for life.” Thinking of this, Lu Ren felt a sense of sorrow. He was already 25 or 26 years old, but he had not even touched a woman’s hand. The only close contact he had was when Zhang Qingya pounced on him in the Silent Killing Forest World wanting to bite him.”

Yan Zhenghua, who had fallen into his own recollections, ignored Lu Ren’s disdain and had a tinge of sympathy for him. Falling into a state of sublimation, he said with a wry expression, “Back then, in order to cultivate this set of sword techniques, I had remained single my entire whole life.”

Lu Ren’s expression changed. He finally felt that there was something he wanted to see. He looked at him solemnly.

Yan Zhenghua took out a wooden sword from the side and chanted.

“As the saying goes, without a woman in your heart, you become a master naturally when you draw your sword!”

Clank!

“First move from the sword manual, forget your sweetheart!”

A crisp sound of a sword could be heard as Yan Zhenghua moved his wrist gently. Lu Ren’s eyes widened.

As Yan Zhenghua’s fat body twisted, the wooden sword in his hand whistled through the air, causing Lu Ren, who had retreated to the wall, to feel a splitting draught of the sword coming at him.

Each and every move was full of power, but it also looked as agile as a swimming dragon. It was also smooth between movements. It had the beauty of a perfect combination of strength and speed.

Ten seconds later, Yan Zhenghua retracted his sword and said solemnly, “This sword is called the Heartless Sword Technique. Do you want to learn it?”

Yan Zhenghua did have something on him. From the sword technique just now, it could be seen that it was indeed powerful.

“Yes!”

Indeed, Lu Ren thought this swordsmanship was really not bad. Just from the twists and turns just now, the coordination between his torso, his feet, and his arms could be seen.

Although it was a little uncouth when demonstrated by Yan Zhenghua, the flaws did not obscure the sheen of the jade.

Yan Zhenghua asked, “Have you ever had a girlfriend?”

“No.”

“Have you ever been in a relationship?”

“…Yes.”

Yan Zhenghua glanced at Lu Ren’s two arms and found that the muscles of his right arm were more defined than that of his left arm. It was also a little bulkier. A smile appeared on his face.

“Young man, remember, a woman will only affect the speed of your sword. If you master it in ten years, you will be charged 100,000 per year!”

Seeing that Lu Ren had turned around and was about to leave without hesitation, Yan Zhenghua shouted in the nick of time, “There is an entry experience. It only costs 2,500!”

Lu Ren stopped in his tracks and turned around. “I’ll give it a try.”

Time passed like flowing water. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Apart from reporting to the police station once a month, he would be a sparring partner at the Power-Ignition Combat Club and also learn swordsmanship from Yan Zhenghua.

As for the fees owed by the hospital, he had already paid it in half a month. The rich middle-aged man who came often was called Liu Chengxue. Every time he came, he would drag Lu Ren to spar with him.

It was said that he was the boss of a multinational listed company. In a month, his big belly had become smaller.

Lu Ren expressed that it was very easy to be his sparring partner, especially when the other party was generous. It was just that the increase in his proficiency was a little slow.

However, the overall trend was rising.

After knowing Lu Ren’s righteous refusal, Zhang Kui walked away despondently.

Lu Ren had found out from Li Cunyi that it was not easy to learn true martial arts after getting in. No matter how talented one was, one would have to practice standing like a post for three years to build a foundation. Whether one would be imparted with true martial arts or not depended on one’s performance if one did not have the money.

There was uncertainty on how one’s performance would be assessed. It was not that they would not impart martial arts to him, but Lu Ren did not wish to take a gamble with three years of his time to exchange for the specific contents.

Over the past few days, as a sparring partner, his proficiency of his physical attributes had also increased rather rapidly. He enjoyed the pleasure of receiving immediate feedback. The addictive feeling was like the kind from fighting monsters and carrying out missions to level up.

As for Luo Zixuan’s mother, Meng Xian, she had stopped after having been detained once. Lu Ren, who had been vigilant, felt like he was fighting a battle of wits and bravery with air.

As for the martial arts he was currently cultivating, to be honest in this era, if one did not have particularly good talent, even after cultivating for 10 to 20 years, one could be easily killed by another person’s simple move.

To become a martial arts expert, not a single person did not start to build his foundation from a young age, tempering his body, and cultivating even during the coldest day of winter and hottest day of summer. It would take about seven to eight years before the results would appear, and for one to have powerful combat strength.

Although he had also asked Zhang Kui about it, to practice martial arts, it was not necessarily the younger, the better. The best time to cultivate martial arts was after one’s bones and tendons had been set. At the age of 25 or 26, the human body would be at its peak condition. This state would last from 20 to 30 years old before it would slowly fade.

Further down the line, although someone 40 to 50 years old could still be considered young and strong, the strain on one’s physique would greatly reduce the efficiency of learning martial arts.

However, this did not mean that there was no such thing as a late bloomer.

Not long ago, there was a person who learned martial arts at the age of 52. He locked his blood essence at the age of 60. In the end, when he was 70 years old, he became a top expert of his generation.

“This…”

He did not believe in rumors and would not spread them!

On the other hand, modern comprehensive combat techniques only required two to three years to quickly establish good combat strength with the ability to protect oneself. To Lu Ren, as long as it could form an initial skill, it would be able to accelerate cultivation.

As for martial arts, Lu Ren was currently trying it out. If he were to let them wear him down for three years before they would teach a novice like him, it would be too late.

However, this was a peaceful society. If one did not have a good temperament, one would sooner or later go to jail.

In this era of peace, it was useless to learn this. There were also many restrictions on participating in combat. It was better to use casual combat.

As a result, the entire martial arts in Huaxia was gradually declining.

Lu Ren had heard all of this from Yan Zhenghua and Zhang Kui. He had seen how they were sighing. They did not care about sectarian views mostly or might be hiding it.

However, Yan Zhenghua insisted on taking advantage of the situation…
