Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

...

Zhao Yuan followed Li Kui,

They arrived at the Liangshan martial arts training ground.

On the training ground,

All the generals who had nothing better to do had arrived.

And in the crowd,

Lü Fang and Shi Jin

Each of them took their own halberd.

Just getting ready to mount the horse,

Upon seeing Zhao Yuan arrive,

The leaders hurried over to pay their respects.

When Bian Xiang saw that it was Li Kui who had pulled Zhao Yuan over,

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Tie Niu, you're such a busybody."

"My brother said yesterday that he has to deal with the official business that has piled up on Liangshan Mountain in the next couple of days,"

"Let us not disturb him unnecessarily."

"You black rascal, you've forgotten that so quickly!"

"What's the point of doing all those messy, trivial things!"

Li Kui chuckled.

"Now that the training ground is so lively, how can we leave out Brother Zhao when we're all gathered together?"

"Alright, taking a break now and then is fine."

Zhao Yuan waved his hand.

He looked at Lü Fang and Shi Jin, who were already fully armed and ready to go.

"It's fine for the two brothers to practice martial arts, but they must be careful."

"Never hurt your own people!"

"Brother, don't worry!"

Lü Fang smiled and pointed to the halberds in his and Shi Jin's hands.

"Look, both my and Brother Shi Jin's weapons are wrapped with thick cloth!"

"Don't worry, Brother Zhao, we both know how to handle things."

Shi Jin also patted his chest and guaranteed,

Seeing that the two were ready,

Zhao Yuan was appointed as the referee.

He personally announced the start of the competition.

Shi Jin and Lü Fang each mounted their horses.

The many leaders who had been surrounding them quickly dispersed.

They made room for the two of them.

Shi Jin and Lü Fang were each sitting on their horses.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the other party.

Then they all shouted together.

He charged towards the other side!

When Shi Jin, the Nine-Dragoned Scholar, first joined Liangshan,

Naturally, he didn't want to lose face in front of everyone.

Lu Fang was an ambitious man.

Since following Zhao Yuan,

With guidance from many masters on Liangshan Mountain

His martial arts skills also improved by leaps and bounds.

The two men were seen wielding halberds.

You strike, I block.

You chop, I slice!

In the blink of an eye,

They had already fought for twenty or thirty rounds.

But at this point,

Previously, he could compete with Shi Jin for Lü Fang.

But they have already begun to lose ground!

After the two fought for another twenty or thirty rounds,

Seeing that Lü Fang had been completely suppressed by Shi Jin,

Zhao Yuan then clapped his hands.

The martial arts competition was called off.

Shi Jin smiled and put down the halberd he was holding.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Lü Fang.

"Brother, you flatter me."

Lu Fang took a couple of breaths.

He quickly raised his hand to return the greeting.

Seeing that they had already used all their strength,

Shi Jin, however, remained completely calm.

There was no sign of fatigue whatsoever.

Lü Fang admired him from the bottom of his heart.

"I've heard from Commander Lu that Brother Shi Jin is exceptionally skilled in martial arts,"

"After trying it today, it truly lives up to its reputation."

The two men, sitting on their horses, politely defered to each other.

Seeing that Lü Fang had lost, Li Kui, who was watching from the sidelines,

But I couldn't help it in my heart.

He grabbed Zhao Yuan and shouted.

"Brother, why don't you go up too and give this eldest son of the Shi family a try!"

When he said that,

The other leaders around them also started to jeer.

Zhao Yuan acquired martial arts skills.

That was common knowledge among everyone on Liangshan Mountain.

But ever since he became the chieftain,

He rarely had the chance to take action.

Upon seeing this, Shi Jin...

Remembering Zhao Yuan's fame for killing a tiger with a single punch,

Suddenly, I couldn't resist the urge...

Chapter 602 Trouble in Yuncheng County

"When I was at Shaohua Mountain, I had already heard of Brother Zhao's reputation,"

Shi Jin, mounted on his horse, cupped his hands in a gesture of request for battle.

"Please enlighten me, brother!"

Zhao Yuan hadn't exercised for many days either.

Now everyone is cheering them on.

He readily agreed.

There's no need to fetch any other weapons.

He took Lü Fang's halberd directly from him.

"My brother also has a halberd?"

Shi Jin exclaimed in surprise,

He studied under Wang Jin, the chief instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards.

It can be said that he was proficient in all kinds of weapons, including swords, spears, clubs, halberds, hooks, and forks.

Seeing Zhao Yuan casually pick up the halberd with such practiced ease,

Naturally, I was somewhat surprised.

"Haha, Shi Dalang, you don't know this,"

Lu Zhishen chuckled.

"My brother here is proficient in all eighteen martial arts and can wield all kinds of weapons."

After the Flower Monk finished speaking,

Zhao Yuan and Shi Jin here are ready.

He then picked up the halberd.

He charged towards the other side!

"Ding Ding!"

The two halberds clashed repeatedly.

Quite a few sparks were generated!

Compared to the battle between Shi Jin and Lü Fang just now,

Facing Zhao Yuan at this moment,

The nine-striped dragon naturally felt a lot of pressure.

After all, he earned his reputation by killing a tiger with that one punch.

Even in the green forest,

It's common knowledge!

At this time,

Facing Zhao Yuan's attacking halberd,

Shi Jin had only exchanged two or three blows when

He was already feeling miserable inside!

Only then did he realize,
