I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

It's been a while since we last met.

Little Tiger seems to have grown taller again.

A perfectly round head.

She was still as fair and clean as ever.

"They learned to lift stones, hammer sandbags, and fight."

Xiao Hu's gaze seemed fixed on the two candied hawthorns in Cheng Laiyun's hand.

"It seems that Xiao Hu is still going through the physical training phase..." Cheng Laiyun frowned.

Understand the breath, boil the body, and introduce the breath into the body.

Generally speaking, only after passing these three tests and entering the ranks will one be taught the methods for entering the Tao.

"Oh~" Cheng Laiyun crossed his arms and asked tentatively:

"What happened next? Did the teacher teach it?"

As he spoke, he waved the candied hawthorn in front of Xiao Hu's eyes.

"I taught him."

Xiao Hu swallowed.

"Oh?" Cheng Laiyun's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

"What exactly were they teaching?"

Little Tiger blinked his bright eyes, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and earnestly counted on his fingers:

"I've taught you the seven diagrams for guiding the breath and the three diagrams for entering the path."

"Really?" Cheng Laiyun suppressed his joy and deliberately put on a stern face as he looked at Xiao Hu:

"If you're lying to your uncle, I'll throw away the candied hawthorn."

"I won't lie to Uncle!" Xiao Hu hurriedly broke free from Cheng Laiyun's hand.

He leaped to an open space to the side and shouted:

"I'll demonstrate it to my uncle once, and he'll understand!"

As he spoke, he quickly stripped off his clothes, revealing a body of... incredibly strong muscles.

Take the first pose:

"This is the first posture of the Breath-Guiding Gate..."

"This is the second one..."

Cheng Laiyun's eyes widened in disbelief!

"Goodness!"

"This kid... he's on hormones??"

Who would have thought that a nine-year-old child, under his thin clothes, would have such explosive muscles?

When Xiao Hu stood there naked, Cheng Laiyun almost dropped the candied hawthorn in his hand.

This is not the body of a nine-year-old child.

His two pectoral muscles looked like inverted iron helmets, and they even trembled a couple of times as Xiao Hu posed.

Looking down, you can see eight perfectly aligned abdominal muscles, not the kind of lines created by being skinny, but real, bulging lumps of flesh, each one glistening with oil in the sunlight.

The deltoid muscles on his shoulders are round and plump, like two small balls stuffed inside. When he strains his back muscles, two fleshy ridges bulge out on both shoulder blades, looking like they're about to grow wings...

This muscular little monster, with its clean, round head, was staring intently at the candied hawthorn, swallowing hard.

Baby face with huge muscles?

He silently took a step back.

Nezha from "100,000 Cold Jokes"... is probably about like this?

"I've finished the Breath-Guiding Stage... Can I rest for a bit before showing Uncle the Introductory Stage posture?"

Xiao Hu's fair face was a little red; these few poses had obviously taken a lot of effort from him.

With her big, round eyes wide open, she looked at Cheng Laiyun expectantly.

"Well……"

"Then I'll give you one first."

Cheng Laiyun snapped out of his daze, his eyes still involuntarily glancing at Xiaohu, and handed him a candied hawthorn:

"Are all your classmates at the county school like you...?"

For a moment, he couldn't find the right words to describe Xiao Hu's physique.

He had only ever seen a physique like that on Qi Dazhuang from the Martial Arts Academy.

"No, that's not it." Xiao Hu quickly took the candied hawthorn from Cheng Laiyun, happily stuffed it into his mouth, and then puffed out his cheeks and said:

"Just me."

"My master said I have an extraordinary talent; I can digest top-grade spiritual rice very thoroughly, which is a testament to my accumulated knowledge and skills!"

In just a few words.

Xiao Hu had already finished eating a candied hawthorn, and then began preparing to demonstrate the entry-level martial arts cultivation method to Cheng Laiyun, saying proudly:

"My master said that only after reaching the first grade can one enter the Dao."

"Our martial arts cultivation path is simpler than other systems, which is why our martial arts cultivation system has the most practitioners in the Great Far Dynasty."

"The gossipers, the screw-tighteners, the farmers—these few families are all grotesque and their traditions are almost broken... They're still covering their crotches to keep people from seeing, like young girls."

Wait a minute!

Cheng Laiyun blinked, then looked at Xiaohu with some uncertainty and asked:

"Gossiping... I can roughly understand that, it must be a Confucian scholar."

"Even farmers can understand it; it must be agricultural repair."

"This screw-tightening thing..." Cheng Laiyun asked, his expression somewhat unfriendly, staring at Xiao Hu.

"Could it be Mo Xiu?"

Little Tiger was stunned.

He looked at Cheng Laiyun's face, his two small eyebrows furrowed together:

"I don't know, these were all said by my master."

Ok.

Also.

This doesn't sound like something an eight or nine-year-old child would come up with.

"What else did your master say?" Cheng Laiyun crossed his arms and glanced at Xiao Hu.

"Hehe." Little Tiger raised his fist and waved it forward:

"My master's most frequent saying is, 'What's the difference between cultivation and practice? You'll die if you get cut!'"

As he spoke, his gaze became serious.

I took a deep breath.

He struck a very strange pose.

While arranging the items, he spoke with difficulty:

"This is the first movement of the 'Great Sun Martial Arts Manual'."

"The main purpose is to facilitate the fusion of the spiritual energy from consuming the top-grade spirit rice with the body's surface, thereby achieving immunity to injury from weapons..."

"Huchi, Huchi..."

After saying that, he quickly released himself from the position, panting:

"You cannot force yourself to refine your body if you do not reach the required level, otherwise you will damage your foundation."

"Hmm, will it have any impact if we display it only once in a while?" Cheng Laiyun asked with some concern.

"That's alright, as long as it doesn't last more than half an hour. Don't worry, Uncle, I'm not stupid." Little Tiger stuck out his tongue mischievously.

That's good.

The first step doesn't seem difficult.

Cheng Laiyun had memorized this action perfectly.

But I heard from Xiaohu that there are three more.

He figured it out.

It's not difficult for a martial artist to enter the Dao, but the real challenge lies in obtaining top-grade spiritual rice.

Fortunately, he has Miss Xu's backing.

Getting some top-quality spirit rice isn't difficult.

soon.

Xiao Hu then demonstrated the remaining two moves to Cheng Laiyun.

Cheng Laiyun kept it in mind and rewarded Xiaohu with two candied hawthorns.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Cheng Laiyun led the beaming little tiger into his cousin's house.

My cousin and her husband happened to be there at that moment.

However, he noticed that his cousin's expression seemed a little off; she had her brows furrowed and looked preoccupied.

"What's wrong, sister?" Cheng Laiyun asked, frowning as he looked at his cousin.

"What happened?"

My cousin, Cheng Lingqiao, hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said:

"The teachers at the county school said that Xiao Hu has a very high talent for martial arts."

"I wanted to recommend Xiaohu to the county school... but the county school is in Qingzhou city... and your brother-in-law's business is in the county..."

Zhao Huaili, standing to the side, also sighed:

"Things are bad right now. If I go to Qingzhou, I don't know if I'll be able to find a job..."

Grandma Zhao also looked at Cheng Laiyun cautiously.

People strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill. Since Xiaohu has been given such an opportunity, they naturally want to seize it as well.

But... everything in Qingzhou is unknown.

He quit his blacksmithing job, sold his family property, and headed to Qingzhou... No one knew what the future held.

"Oh?" Cheng Laiyun was also taken aback.

Tell me.

Isn't that a coincidence?

He grinned.

"Qingzhou?"

"That place is great!"

"That's exactly what I'm going to do too."

Ok?

These words were spoken.

Zhao Shi, Cheng Lingqiao, and Zhao Huaili, who all looked worried at the dinner table, were taken aback.
