Chapter 11: Fight or Not Fight

Strength increased!

In the moonlight of the courtyard, Li Yuan's eyes were shining. He could clearly feel the hot air flowing through his body, as if he was soaking in hot water, very comfortable.

Moreover, he could feel his physical strength increase very clearly!

"According to the records in the book, this air is blood? When the blood increases to the point where it can bless the palm, it means mastery, when it blesses the arms, it means small success, and when it is great success, it means the limbs are connected?"

This feeling was so refreshing that Li Yuan felt deeply shocked and intoxicated.

In his past and present lives, he felt the pleasure of physical growth for the first time, which was more obvious and intense than any fitness!

"This is too refreshing, too refreshing..."

Resisting the urge to howl, Li Yuan played another set of White Ape Cloak Hammer. He felt that after the strength increased greatly, many moves became more rounded and smooth.

It's a pity that the place is wrong, otherwise, he really wants to try it after getting started, and then add the mastery-level hammer method to see what level his White Ape Cloak Hammer has reached!

I really want to find someone to try my hand at...

"This is martial arts!"

Li Yuan felt refreshed, and the clouds in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Yuanzi, come to the house to eat!"

Li Yuan came back to his senses, and saw Fatty Sun waving at him in the house.

"Yuan, Yuanzi?"

Li Yuan was stunned, and then walked into Fatty Sun's hut for the first time.

There were three rooms inside and outside, with complete tables and chairs, and many vases, which were much better than the apprentices' bunk beds.

At this moment, on the table in front of Fatty Sun, there were not only a few bowls of smoked meat, a smoked fish, a plate of eggs, but also a pot of hot wine?

"If you don't replenish the blood and qi in time, you may leave a deficit. Although my medicinal wine is not good, it is also quite effective..."

Fat Sun handed over the wine pot with a smile.

"What's this, chef?"

After being humble for a month, Li Yuan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this suddenly.

This is the real reality...

It was not until he picked up the warm wine glass that Li Yuan came back to his senses from Sun Pangzi's sudden change of attitude.

But it's true. Intercourse without relatives is driven by various interests. Without value, who would be willing to deliberately befriend you?

"Your physique is only middle-lower, and you can get started in more than a month. In addition to your good fit with the White Ape Cloak Hammer, your second brother has also made up for you, right?"

Sun Pangzi smiled, but he didn't doubt it.

The Li family was also a middle-class family in Chaiyufang. Although it was impoverished, it was not surprising that they left some family assets.

"Second brother is very good to me..."

Li Yuan looked down at the wine glass, his heart was bright.

This is the benefit of showing talent in advance. If he hadn't 'exposed' his talent in hammering on the first day, he would have been suspected by Sun Pangzi if he suddenly got started in martial arts.

"Brothers are friendly and respectful to each other! It's worth the money your second brother spent..."

Fat Sun raised his hand and clinked glasses with Li Yuan, smiling:

"If you learn the White Ape Cloak Hammer in a month, you can enter the inner courtyard. Then the quota from the middle courtyard to the inner courtyard should be yours!"

"Isn't that quota reserved by Niu Gui?"

After drinking, Li Yuan felt a little hot, but he was shocked when he heard this.

"Don't you want to enter the inner courtyard?"

Fat Sun glanced at him: "Are you afraid of offending Qin Xiong?"

"How dare I offend Master Qin?"

Li Yuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Qin Xiong had mastered the Cloak Hammer a few years ago and was a person with the potential for inner strength. He was not comparable to ordinary guards. According to him, the shop had already decided on him as the head of the guards.

That was the position second only to the three shopkeepers, and now he just needed to break through the inner strength.

"Offended, so what?"

Fat Sun pulled the corner of his mouth: "Our forging shop has been passed down for more than 200 years, so there are naturally rules. Not to mention that he has not become the leader yet, even if he has become one, he cannot cover the sky with one hand!"

With a backer, you can speak with confidence!

Li Yuan's face was bitter, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Wasn't it you who rushed to curry favor with Qin Xiong before?

"You are also educated, you should know that some things, even if they should be yours, will not fall into your hands if you don't fight for them."

Fat Sun raised another glass of wine:

"When you are alone outside, hiding your shortcomings is the way to survive, but you can't do that in the shop, because there are some things that you don't have the qualifications for, so you can't get that treatment anyway."

"Poor in literature and rich in martial arts, with your background, without the support of the shop, how far can you go even if you get in?"

"You are right, but I..."

Li Yuan accompanied him to drink glass after glass of medicinal wine, while trying to figure out the thoughts of this chef Sun.

Of course he wanted to enter the inner courtyard, but if he got involved in other people's fights...

As if he saw what he was thinking, Fatty Sun put down his wine glass: "Whether you want to fight or not is your business. I saw that you have some talent, so I just said it casually. If you don't want to, it's up to you."

"Thank you for your advice, chef!"

Li Yuan thanked him profusely and kept drinking with him until Fatty Sun went into the inner room and lay down, then he picked up his chopsticks and swept away all the food on the table.

He was really hungry!

...

After eating and drinking, the night was already deep.

Li Yuan closed the door gently and did not rush to leave. Compared with the big bunk bed in the middle courtyard, Fatty Sun's small courtyard seemed much quieter.

"Enter the door!"

Under the reflection of the snow and moon, Li Yuan, dressed in linen, also had a sense of heroism. He tightly grasped the hammer handle and felt the heat flowing in his body.

In more than a month, his changes were already drastic.

The snowy night was cold, but his heart was boiling.

Standing quietly in the White Ape Posture, comparing it with the experience of the master-level hammer method in his mind, Li Yuan felt that he had gained a lot. This is the perspective of an entry-level warrior.

"Exhale!"

"Inhale!"

Standing in the post, holding the hammer, and adjusting his breathing.

Only when the snoring in the inner room was loud and there was no noise inside and outside the yard, Li Yuan's feet moved. When the snow was flying, he took a step and rushed out, swinging his arms in a circle, and the hammer head broke the wind.

"Power starts from the ground, the feet must be heavy, the body must be like a spirit ape, and the body must be loose!"

In the small courtyard, Li Yuan moved and turned, his body was as agile as a spirit ape, and the hammer swung and made a 'buzzing' sound.

Once you get started, the feeling is completely different from before.

With the coordination of the White Ape Posture, the Cloak Hammer, and the breathing method, Li Yuan only felt a warmth in his body. He didn't feel tired at all while dancing with the hammer, and even felt that he was getting more and more excited.

"The combination of movement and stillness, the White Ape Cloak!"

With the help of the mastery-level hammer method, Li Yuan was like an old master who had practiced the hammer method for decades. When he danced with the hammer, he could even feel the heat flowing in his body.

This trace of qi generated from the blood is called blood qi. Warming the body and transporting blood qi is the only way for the White Ape Cloak Hammer to go from entry to mastery.

At this moment, when dancing with the hammer, Li Yuan could clearly feel that this trace of heat seemed to be a little stronger.

Is it because of the pot of medicinal wine from Fatty Sun?

Huh!

At a certain moment, Li Yuan's wrist loosened, and the hammer flew into the snow, making a muffled sound, and the snow and mud splashed.

"The eighteen-style cloak hammer requires continuous and continuous strength. According to the book, the sign of the mastery level is the stacking of eight hammers. I can already stack eleven hammers!"

The hammer handle slipped out of his hand, and the tiger's mouth was burning with pain. Li Yuan just flicked it lightly, exhaled a breath of turbid air that he had been holding for a long time, and blew away the snowflakes floating in front of him.

"It's snowing again!"
