C84 Brother parting (1/2)

Chang Jing finally understood the reason why the Headmaster sent the chattering Vice Headmaster.

”Eight hundred thousand?!” Chang Jing almost jumped up, ”Please, a small stage worth eight hundred thousand, do you think it's made of gold?”

Astor waved his injured hands as well. ”Let's rob!”

The vice principal put away his smile and took out a small notebook.

”This is not an ordinary stage. First of all, it's a hard rock imported from the Duchy of Meuse. You should all have heard of it. It's a treasure of our Demon God Continent …”

Chang Jing knew that he was about to say ”It's the end of the day, my saliva is flowing into the sea”, so she directly interrupted him.

”No, not even eight hundred thousand! At most, three hundred thousand!”

”Hehe, I've reached the crux!” Magic buff, do you know? ” The Vice Principal took out a handkerchief that was covered in sweat and leisurely wiped his glasses. ”Making Magician perform magic on such a large stage is a huge project. It needs …”

Chang Jing and Alistair couldn't say anything. All they could do was look at each other and smile bitterly when they met such an old man.

Three days later, Chang Jing and Alistair finally recovered from their injuries under the help of ”Flexible Aqua”. As for the recovery of their magic power, they weren't so lucky, they only recovered about 60% of their original strength — — The weakness of ”Flexible Water” was that it could only treat wounds but not its ”Strength”!

”Where are you going now?” On the way back from the treatment room, Chang Jing asked Osiris.

”I want to go home,” Austin looked to the sky and stretched out his hand towards the west, ”My home is in that direction, on the west side of the The Fiendgod continent.”

”You don't want to learn martial arts anymore?” Chang Jing remembered that when she asked Astor about it, he said that the Ara was going to learn martial arts.

Oster sighed and said, ”There may be a lot of people who know martial arts in Ara, but there are even more who use martial arts. I have been in the Ara for so long, but I still have not been able to find a master that can convince me. ”

”Martial arts, martial arts?” Chang Jing was a little curious, could it be that there was even martial arts in the Ara?

”Don't you know?” Astor thought for a moment, then said, ”Yes, it's normal that you don't know. In the current Ara, there are very few people who know your country's quintessence 'martial arts'! ”

”Do you know?” Although Chang Jing could vaguely guess the location of the martial arts from the < Art of Warlord > manual, she couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced when she heard the foreigner's words. How could a foreigner know his own country better than he, a true citizen of Ara?

”I also happened to read about it from my father's book. It detailed the geography, customs, and military strength of the Ara … There is a detailed description of the Ara's martial arts in the book. ” ”Martial arts originated from an ancient eastern country in the ancient times. At that time, the uncivilized people lived by hunting, and gradually, fighting skills appeared in the process of fighting against nature. This is the most primitive martial arts.”

Chang Jing was still a little confused after hearing Aster's introduction, so she asked, ”Right now, martial skills are also focused on fighting techniques, so why did you deliberately separate them from martial arts?”

”I was just talking about the origin of martial arts,” Astor paused, then continued, ”With the development of society, mankind has also entered the age of civilization, and war has become the theme of society. Thus, martial arts were no longer the 'tool' for hunting, but the technique of war. At that time, martial arts valued the formation technique of marching and fighting, which was also the coordination technique of soldiers. ”

”After the long war, society gradually came to peace. The peaceful society has brought limitless opportunities for academic development, which has led to the emergence of hundreds of competing phenomena. Among them, a master of martial arts who also possesses Taoism has created a concept of training the body's physical ability based on luck and will to fight the enemy — from then on, martial arts has truly stepped onto the stage of history. ”

”But the development of martial arts has gradually declined, and has instead regressed back to the level of fighting skills from ancient times,” Astor said regretfully. ”This is the result of those martial arts masters guarding in seclusion.”

Chang Jing was like a thirsty student as she quietly listened to Ozzie's explanation. After Ozzie finished speaking, he asked with a tone of doubt.

”Do martial arts have the concept of 'acupoints'?”

”Yes, how do you know? ”Acupoints only appear during the peak of martial arts!” Astrid looked at Chang Jing in surprise and thought to herself in her heart, ”So he knew this from the beginning. She only listened to me attentively to respect me just now!”

Chang Jing took out the《 Art of Warlord》 that Yi Chen had given him from the space bag and handed it over to Aster, ”There are records on this book.”
