We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Chapter 8 Formal Disciples, Initiation Ceremony

The next morning.

Su Chen practiced punching in mid-air for half an hour, each punch exuding immense power.

After the fight, he was drenched in sweat, but he didn't feel tired at all.

At this point, Iron Wire Fist finally caught up with Iron Sand Palm, reaching a state of perfection.

On his own arm, Su Chen could see that the blood line had turned completely red, and even showed a faint tendency to turn from red to black.

I believe that as long as I switch to the easy mode again, I can truly master Iron Wire Fist.

By then, my strength will surely reach a new level!

"If Senior Brother Li Mo knew that I have now mastered the Iron Wire Fist, he would probably be astonished."

Su Chen wiped the sweat from his cheeks and chuckled softly.

He learned from other disciples that Li Mo had only just mastered the Iron Wire Fist after two years of training.

The line on my hand hasn't completely darkened yet.

In contrast, Su Chen only spent a little over ten days to reach the level of the other party's two years of cultivation, which can be described as incredibly fast.

"I wonder where my strength ranks in White Stone City."

After a moment's thought, Su Chen pondered, but quickly stopped worrying about it.

Regardless of his actual strength, he cultivates to become stronger, not to compare himself to others.

Back inside, after having breakfast, Su Chen hadn't even left the house when he heard a knock at the door.

He opened the door and saw two men wearing red belts.

Upon seeing Su Chen, the two men said expressionlessly, "We are from the Blood Robe Gang. It's the beginning of the month, time to pay our dues."

Blood-Clad Gang?

Su Chen had heard of this gang before.

It is a relatively strong gang in the outer city, far superior to the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Blackwater Gang.

Su Chen pursed his lips slightly and asked, "How much?"

"Ten coins!" the man replied.

After a moment of silence, Su Chen took out ten coins from his pocket and handed them to the other party.

After receiving the money, the other party did not say much, then turned and left, heading towards the next shop.

After standing at the door for a while, Su Chen noticed that the person next door paid the money readily, also for ten coins, so he stopped paying attention.

Weighing his meager purse, Su Chen closed the door, got up, and left.

He went straight to the teahouse to read and study, occasionally glancing at the Blackwater Gang's courtyard across the street.

It seems the confrontation last night was quite intense, as people were going in and out of the yard early this morning, cleaning up the bloodstains on the ground.

In half a day, the Blackwater Gang was completely wiped out, and a new gang was born.

This is pretty much what Su Chen expected. This gang should be one of the gangs that attacked the Blackwater Gang last night.

Without Liu Heishui, the entire Blackwater Gang was like a pile of loose sand, unable to stir up any trouble, and was naturally eliminated by the other side.

Su Chen noticed that, apart from Liu Heishui's two trusted confidants who had disappeared, the rest of the men had immediately joined the new gang.

He became one of them.

Su Chen studied until evening before heading home.

For the next few days, Su Chen did not go to the teahouse again.

While continuing to study the writings of the Great Qian Dynasty, he also looked for ways to make money.

The reason Su Chen wanted to study was because he had a vague idea in his mind.

While the panel can help him quickly master martial arts, it is not a panacea.

There's a prerequisite: Su Chen has to 'practice' martial arts.

such as,

When Su Chen was practicing Iron Wire Fist, he watched Li Mo demonstrate it once before it was displayed on the panel.

When practicing Iron Sand Palm, Su Chen would combine the manuals into a complete manual, then practice it once before the panel would display the manual.

In other words, if Su Chen wants to learn the secret manual, there is at least one prerequisite: he must have practiced it.

but,
What if the manual only contains text and no techniques? If Su Chen wanted to cultivate it but couldn't even understand it, how could he cultivate? That's why Su Chen wanted to read and study.

There weren't any major problems with his studies, but the difficulty in making money was beyond Su Chen's expectations.

He thought that with his identity as a martial artist, finding a way to make money shouldn't be too difficult.

But as it turns out, no matter what world you're in or how connections you have, the truly easy way to make money won't be open to you.

Most of the money-making methods circulating in the market are not suitable for Su Chen.

It's not just because it's a waste of talent, but also because the money earned is simply too little.

After searching for several days, Su Chen gave up.

As for making money based on knowledge from a previous life, that's wishful thinking.

In his previous life, Su Chen was just a truck driver and had no knowledge of making perfumes, seasonings, glass, or related products.

Even if they did, others might not cooperate with Su Chen.

Of course, he could force both parties to cooperate, but that would inevitably cause trouble.

Those profitable businesses are basically monopolized by gangs or families.

If Su Chen tries to intervene, he will face retaliation from the forces behind the scenes.

Whitestone City has its own operating system, and anyone who tries to break this system will face backlash.

Unless Su Chen possesses absolute strength and is unafraid of any challenge.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have that right now.

"Fortunately, it's been almost twenty days since I started learning boxing, so it's time to go to the martial arts school!"

……

On this day, at the Hong Family Martial Arts School.

It seems particularly lively.

It turns out that today is the day Hong Ming accepts disciples.

Half a month ago, after Qin Hao mastered the basics of boxing and developed iron wires, Hong Ming promised that as long as Qin Hao could stabilize the iron wires, he would take him as his disciple.

Qin Hao stabilized the bloodline as promised three days ago, and Hong Ming was overjoyed when he found out.

They directly announced Qin Hao as the eighth official disciple of the Hong Family Martial Arts School.

Therefore, Hong Ming specially chose an auspicious day, set for three days later, intending to have Qin Hao formally become his apprentice.

At the same time, he informed the other disciples about the matter.

Those who had important business to attend to, almost everyone who could come, came.

"Qin Hao, come here, let me introduce you to your senior brothers."

With a ruddy complexion, Hong Ming greeted Qin Hao, whose attire was noticeably different from his usual style, with a friendly demeanor.

He introduced the group one by one: "Your eldest brother Wei Ping and fourth brother Wu Hai are escorting goods, your third sister Liu Fang is doing business outside, this is your second brother Zhou Tao, your fifth brother Hu Zong, your sixth brother Fang Yanxun, and your seventh brother Li Mo."

"Qin Hao greets Second Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother, Sixth Senior Brother, and Seventh Senior Brother."

After the introductions were finished, Qin Hao cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the four people.

"Haha, I've heard Master talk about Junior Brother Qin Hao before. Meeting him today, he is indeed a handsome and talented man."

Second Senior Brother Zhou Tao cupped his hands and smiled, and the others also greeted him.

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao looked somewhat reserved, scratched his head and smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the compliments from the crowd.

There was still some time before the meal, so after Hong Ming's introduction, he left the time to Qin Hao and the others.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Tao and the others stepped forward and began chatting with Qin Hao.

at the same time.

Su Chen looked at the martial arts school he hadn't seen in a long time, a look of melancholy on his face.

I wonder if the martial arts school has forgotten about his apprentice since he hasn't come for so many days?

Shaking his head to dispel the random thoughts in his mind, Su Chen strode towards the martial arts school.

If you have extra investment opportunities, and they're just sitting there anyway, why not invest in this book?
