Chapter 208 Master and Apprentice Buy and Sell the Tiger Head Hammer
"Since you have seen through the other party's intentions, why are you still so stubborn and insist on being my enemy?"

Wang Jianxiong stared into Zhou You's eyes and asked him, "Do you know that after today, you will betray your master and become a traitor despised by everyone in the martial arts world."

"Those people are using you to rebel against me. They may tolerate your temporary success, but they will never let you have a good reputation."

In professions passed down from master to apprentice, loyalty is valued, and those who disobey their teachers are despised like rats crossing the street.

He was just curious. How could Zhou You, who was so visionary and calculating, choose this path?
"Master, my nickname is Winged Tiger, and sometimes I wonder what wings are used for."

Zhou You raised his hand and spread out his five fingers, catching a handful of breeze. "Use the force to rise and fly with the wind. No matter how long your wings are, they can't reach the sky. It's just a tool. Without the force of the breeze, you can't fly no matter how hard you flap."

"Boxing does not require brute force or strength, but also emphasizes using the force to move and follow the trend."

"In this incident, they used me, but I also borrowed their power and influence to confront Master."

Wang Jianxiong was moved. "Have you been thinking about leaving the martial arts school for a long time?"

"Yes, from the day Lu Jianqing joined, I knew what Master meant."

Zhou You spread his hands, "If I don't seize this opportunity to leave, I'm afraid I'll become that kid's stepping stone in the future."

A stepping stone? This is a pretty accurate understanding of myself, because this is how Wang Jianxiong arranged it.

No one wants to be sacrificed for meaningless purposes!

Although Wang Jianxiong was reluctant to admit it, he was wrong, very wrong.

Toying with disciples, using them, or abandoning them are all rights of a master and there is nothing wrong with that.

His mistake was that he mistook the tiger cub for a domestic dog and did not realize that beneath Zhou You's calm and low-key appearance lay such ambition and ulterior motives.

Once the relationship fell out, I was caught off guard.

He suddenly discovered that the impregnable martial arts gym actually contained so many conflicts and contradictions, and the inner court disciples were not united!
"Lu Qiang asked me to spare you because he wanted to stabilize the overall situation and didn't want the inner court disciples to be divided."

"I'm just curious about how you convinced the others to take the risk."

Seeing that the matter had become a fact, Wang Jianxiong was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he calmly asked Zhou You about the whole story.

"Brother Shen, the situation outside the city has become increasingly dangerous recently. The escorted caravan is unlikely to return, resulting in huge losses. They are in urgent need of martial arts experts. I agree to help."

"That's right!" Wang Jianxiong nodded. "Our interests are tied together. No wonder he dares to stand up for you?"

"Brother Jiang Hua, please ask me for a favor so that I can help him when he seeks revenge in the future."

Wang Jianxiong added, "Well, this kid always remembers the hatred, and is willing to do anything as long as he can get revenge."

"You two worked together to defeat Yan Ping in Moyun Village. You know each other's cards well, so it's suitable for you to join forces."

He analyzed this and then said, "Where is Shi Gaofei? This guy is extremely lazy. I can't think of a way for you to win him over."

Zhou You spread his hands helplessly, "He was dragged here by force. All the other fellow disciples have gone, how could he be the only one to escape?"

"Master, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but it's ok that you can't treat me equally, but don't be too excessive in favoring Lu Jianqing. He has everything he wants, while the other brothers can't even get a bone to chew."

"Today's incident, in the final analysis, I was the spark. The accumulated conflicts and dissatisfaction were the cause of the explosion."

"I have no background or support, so I can only borrow strength and use all conditions to fight for a way out for myself."

Wang Jianxiong was moved by what he said and actually nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I am biased, but if I am not biased, how can a mere martial arts gym support Lu Jianqing to return to Dayin Mountain?"

"I originally thought that after he returns to the sect and achieves something in the future, he might be able to help you out in return. However, with the situation we are in today, the friendship between fellow disciples has been severed, and it is no longer possible." Haha, I'd rather dream than expect him to give me benefits after he becomes successful.

"Zhou You, you have such thoughts and means, so you must have planned your future path long ago."

Wang Jianxiong said, "But what was taken from me must be returned without a cent less."

"You learn my boxing skills to integrate the new boxing into yourself. I don't want to take it back, and I won't cripple you."

"But you killed Zhong Shaoying and cut off my arm, and you also destroyed Lu Jianqing's amulet. These two accounts must be settled."

"You give me 10 taels of silver, and this account will be settled. From now on, we will go our separate ways."

10 taels of silver is a huge sum of money, and it must be cash!

Zhou You couldn't take it out. Even if he had bonuses and stolen goods, he couldn't find a way to cash them in in a short time.

Moreover, if he rashly took out such a large sum of money, it would definitely arouse suspicion and bring trouble upon himself.

"Master, let's discuss this. The amount is too large. Are you trying to force me to death?"

"No, I'm optimistic about you. With your ability, it's no problem for you to earn 10 taels. This is a shortfall I need urgently. You can't lose a penny, otherwise you can't leave with peace of mind."

The old man used the name of the martial arts school and the relationship between master and apprentice to force them, and the situation was deadlocked for a while.

Zhou You pondered for a moment, "10 taels, it's not that I can't think of a way."

Wang Jianxiong had an expression that said, "As expected."

But Zhou You continued, "Master, you know how valuable gold and silver are nowadays. A few lives are not worth that much."

"Master, please teach me the rest of the Jade Tiger Skill, and the White Tiger Seven Kills as well."

"My disciples' strength will increase so that they can make more money for you. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

It's just bargaining, who doesn't know how to do that?

"I can't give you the White Tiger Seven Kills. I can't keep a tiger as a threat."

Wang Jianxiong said decisively, and then thought for a moment, "I can give you the part about training from the middle stage of Qi and blood to the elementary martial artist, which is considered as the end of our master-disciple relationship, but the White Tiger Seven Kills is a unique skill passed down from generation to generation, so I can't give it to you to prevent you from passing it on to others."

He walked a few steps, thinking and saying, "The fist is a weapon. When you reach the end of the Qi and blood, you need to practice with weapons to nourish the fist."

"You have also played the tiger tendon pipa, so you have a basic understanding of it. This is the foundation of my instrument."

"The weapons derived from the tiger tendon pipa include the Thousand Tiger Boxing Gloves, the Sharp Tiger Claw, the Tiger Head Hammer, the Tiger Killing Stick, etc."

"I can't pass on the Thousand Tigers Fist Gloves to you. I'll only pass them on to Jian Qing. You can choose any of the remaining three."

Zhou You grumbled in his heart, the old guy was so biased in front of him, it seemed he didn’t want to change!

From what he said, we knew that the Thousand Tiger Boxing Gloves were definitely the most powerful weapon and should be kept for his favorite disciple.

Zhou You thought of the skull and an idea occurred to him, "I choose the tiger head hammer."

The hammer made from the skull of a martial artist is extremely powerful and can definitely unleash the full power of this device.

Wang Jianxiong nodded, "Okay, I will teach you this Tiger Head Hammer."

"After today, we will not interfere with each other. Remember to send the 10 taels before the end of the year."
