C7 (1/2)

Early the next morning, I heard someone knocking on my door. I stood up and shook my head. I still felt a swelling pain in my head. Yesterday's incident felt like a dream, and my memories were a little blurry.

Faintly opening the door, he saw Chen A'Hu anxiously standing at the door, ”Senior Brother Fu, hurry up and go. Chenchen will be here soon. If you go too late, you'll be punished for sure!” After saying that, he hurriedly ran away. It seemed like he also went to the training grounds.

Oh, it's time for the morning... Raising my head to look at the dusky sky, I let out a bitter laugh. I don't want to think about what happened yesterday. Let's go. I don't know how this immortal cultivates.

It wasn't easy to reach the training field after running for a few miles, but everyone was already there. Seeing me standing by the side and everyone's eyes staring at me, I couldn't help but feel a burning sensation on my face.

”What's your name? Why are you late? ” The one who spoke was a burly man who was over ten feet tall. He had a fierce-looking face and was wearing a short coat that could not cover up the bulging muscles on his body.

My heart tightened as I stammered, ”My, my name is Zhang Fugui because...”

The big sized man was startled, and immediately interrupted: ”You said your name is Zhang Fugui? But does Elder Qiu Xi personally accept Zhang Fugui at the bottom of the mountain? ”

Seeing me nod, the big guy immediately changed to a smiling face. ”So it's Elder Qiu Xi who took you in as his disciple. Hur Hur, remember not to be late in the future. Come, stand here!”

I was stunned. So it turns out that immortals bully the weak and fear the strong.

Standing in an empty area, I glanced at the surroundings, this training field is very big, with a circumference of more than 1000 feet, all kinds of stone artifacts are placed in the surroundings, and on this training field, there are probably around 100 to 200 people standing there, most of them are around my age, and there are even some younger than me. Chen Ah Hu is standing on the left side three people away from me, sneaking glances at me from time to time. The people around me are mostly sizing up each other as well. However, there is a trace of caution and confusion in their eyes.

The big man laughed and said in a clear voice, ”You are all children that you brought from the foot of the mountain, there are new and old people, I am afraid that you already know the many rules of this mountain, I do not want to waste words, I will say it again, my name is Hu Shan, your martial arts master, warned the new arrivals, you must come on time, and also, practice martial arts on time, do not be careless!” Alright, let's begin! ”

The big man's words made my ears buzz. I think that even if this big man wasn't an immortal, he wouldn't be too far off from me.

I followed my senior in a daze as I waved my fists and kicked my legs, as if I was practicing some kind of martial art. It was just that my head was still spinning like a marionette.

Noticing my depression and discomfort, Ah Hu came over to chat with me. We talked about the past, the pain of parting, and the bleak future … In order to make me walk out of my sorrow, Tiger would rather show me his scars, letting me find a trace of warmth in my heart, as well as deep feelings of gratitude. In the midst of shared sadness and laughter, I gradually began to walk out of the sadness of leaving my parents. At the same time, there was also a glimmer of hope for the future.

After noon, I started practicing martial arts again. In the morning, I practiced martial arts. Ah Hu told me that this was called Tiger Subduing Fist, a basic martial art. In the afternoon, he practiced breathing. He absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and let out the turbid Qi in his body. I'm a bit curious. Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth? If there was a spirit in the world, why would there be so much sadness and injustice?

While we were practicing breathing, there were more than ten or twenty people quietly listening to what Master Hu Shan had to say. I counted eighteen people, surrounding the city in a circle with Teacher Hu Shan in the middle. He was probably imparting experience, so I stopped thinking about it. However, the image of his parents appeared in his mind, along with Grandpa Sun's smile before he died. His heart was stifled, but he could not calm down. Thinking of the past, he wanted to cry, so he closed his eyes, but he could not suppress his sorrow.

After four hours had passed, he stood up and prepared to leave. However, after sitting cross-legged for an entire afternoon, he felt as if his legs were broken as he tried to get up. He lost control of his body and even lost the feeling of being dead.

”How is it, have your legs gone numb?” Ah Hu had a face full of schadenfreude as he provoked me.

”Humph, I can get up!” I put my hands on the ground and move for a while, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Ah Hu smiled. ”Come, I'll help you!” Then, behind me, he took both my arms and lifted them.

”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I was in so much pain that I could cry. The pain in my legs was so excruciating that it was almost unbearable.

”It's normal, it's good as long as I get used to it. The first ten days or so I started practicing are just like this. It's fine, I'll get used to it gradually later.”

I glared at him. ”You said used to it?” Have you gotten used to this kind of pain?! ”

”Hehe, what do you think?” Tiger smiles wickedly, and I swallow my dry throat.

”Alright, I'm just teasing you. Come, have you rested enough? I'll help you go back. ”

I placed my right hand on A Hu's shoulder and let him drag me forward with difficulty.

”It's fine. I'll be fine in a while. I'll have a good rest today and feel refreshed tomorrow morning!” Tiger smiled and patted my left shoulder.

”Hey, newcomer, you're leaving just like that?”

Tiger's voice trembles, and I can clearly feel his fear.

”Who?” I puzzledly turned my head back. Ah Hu was also helpless and slowly put me down. He turned around, lowered his head and said, ”Brother Yu!”

I recognize the leader of the five men. He is a dark, skinny teenager who is not much older than me, but his body is covered in muscles and he looks very strong. He is one of the eighteen men, and behind him are four other men.

”Hmph, Ah Hu, have you forgotten the rules?” The dark-skinned youth snorted coldly as he lowered his head to look at Ah Hu.
