Chapter 6 Martial Arts Practice

"I came to see you today because I wanted to make peace and make money. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy. If possible, we can work together to avoid making things so ugly."

Xu Sheng was not angry, he just shook his head and said: "But now that you say so, then I have decided on your way of making money!"

Painter Pan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Xu Sheng got up and left directly.

Someone wanted to stop Xu Sheng.

"Peng!" But he was kicked away by Lu Ba, a lean middle-aged man next to Xu Sheng.

"Pan Jiang, your intelligence work is not up to standard. Liang Dutou wants to say hello to you."

Lu Ba said: "He said that he knows that you also have connections in the yamen. But Xu Sheng is from Liang Dutou, so you can only compete fairly!"

"What?" Pan Jiang and the people around him were shocked.

"Of course I will give you Liang Dutou's face. Okay, let's play fair."

Pan Jiang's face was gloomy, and he finally said: "But, so what? I have been working in the painting business in Qingyang City for fifty or sixty years, and I still can't cure you, a young man?"

Xu Sheng just smiled, said nothing, turned and left.

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

This month, Xu Sheng recruited some scattered painters who were squeezed out by Pan's Painting Boat and founded "Xu's Painting Boat".

Relying on his unique and high-end sketching method and his advanced business thinking, he bundled the linked customers with the sketching business.

It didn't take long for Pan Jiang to snatch away all his customers and annex the entire painting market in Qingyang City. Pan Jiang was not even left with the market for ink paintings.

Pan Jiang jumped over the wall and paid to kill Xu Sheng!

However, with the protection of Lu Ba, Pan Jiang failed and was wanted by Liang Dutou.

this day.

Pan Jiang had already knelt on the ground, and Xu Sheng stepped on his palm.

"Uncle Pan, the water is too deep, you can't control it!"

Xu Sheng's tone was calm: "A month ago, you said you were going to cut off my hand like this?"

"Ahhh!" Pan Jiang screamed: "Xu Sheng, are you a human or a ghost? The foundation I spent a lifetime building has been destroyed by you in just one month!"

"Do you know what dimension reduction attack is?" Xu Sheng knelt down and patted Pan Jiang's face.

"Jiang Wei beat a chicken?" Pan Jiang obviously didn't know: "Did a man named Jiang Wei beat a chicken to death? Why do you ask?"

"???" Xu Sheng was speechless: "What I said is that I am a dimensionality reduction blow to you!"

"What? You compared yourself to Jiang Wei? Which historical celebrity is Jiang Wei? You compared me to a chicken?"

Pan Jiang continued to roar: "Xu Sheng, you are going too far! You actually compared me to a chicken! Such an insult to me! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!!!"

"..." Xu Sheng was speechless again: "Bago, hand him over to the Yamen!"

After saying that, he left.

Three days later.

Pan Jiang died suddenly in prison.

He said that taxis can be killed and not humiliated. Xu Sheng just satisfied him.

‘I obediently comply with the requests made by others. With my annoying please-pleaser personality, I am so kind.’ Xu Sheng thought to himself.

"Sir, were you responsible for Pan Jiang's death?"

When Lu Ba heard the news, he looked at Xu Sheng: "How did you do it?"

Of course Xu Sheng would not admit that he used his knowledge of earth chemistry to poison Pan Jiang and kill him. Anyway, the Yamen would definitely not be able to find out.

In the blink of an eye, three days later.

"Bago, when can I develop my inner strength?"

After Xu Sheng finished a set of punches, he panted and asked Lu Ba next to him.

Of course Lu Ba was a martial arts master, but he was not from the Yamen.

Rather, they are people from the world of martial arts. In earthly terms, this means people who are involved in the underworld.

It's just that he is a member of the underworld who was recruited by the "Police Captain" Liang Yikun.

Xu Sheng asked Lu Ba for martial arts lessons.

Although it is impossible for Lu Ba to teach others martial arts casually.

However, under the influence of Chao's ability, Lu Ba taught Xu Sheng a "Fire Yang Fist".

But Xu Sheng’s practice of this boxing technique feels no different from fitness exercises on earth.

It's just that the moves seem a bit cooler, and there are more things to pay attention to when practicing, such as 'breathing', 'exerting force', etc.

For this reason, Xu Sheng even doubted whether he had been deceived.

But Lu Ba himself also practiced this boxing technique.

"Sir, although your bones are not very good, they are actually pretty good, but you practiced too late! You are now eighteen or nineteen years old, and you must start practicing martial arts from a young age!"

Lu Ba shook his head and said: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I practiced hard every day for six hours a day, regardless of the cold or heat. It took me more than ten years to develop my inner strength! Then I practiced for more than twenty years before I became an acquired talent.

Master!"

Xu Sheng has figured out the martial arts in this world.

It's basically the same as the martial arts TV series you watch on Earth.

They are all in the realm of inner strength, outer strength, transformation strength, acquired strength, and innate master.

"Sir, you are busy dealing with boat painting affairs every day, and you have to go around painting paintings for various nobles. You only have less than half an hour to practice martial arts every day, and you have only practiced for a short time. Of course, you can't develop your inner strength!"

Lu Ba added: "This level of training can only have some effects on strengthening the body!"

"Understood."

Xu Sheng nodded: "If I practice for an hour every day, then the results of my ten days of practice can match your one day of hard work."

He did the math: "It took you more than ten years to develop inner strength, but it may take me more than sixty years?"

"That's right."

Lu Badao said: "Unless you can put down your business affairs and focus on practicing martial arts for more than six hours a day, then you should be able to develop your inner strength in more than ten years!"

"Then forget it."

Xu Sheng shook his head: "I'd better go with my advice and just practice for half or an hour every day to keep fit."

Six hours is twelve hours!

Spend twelve hours every day practicing martial arts!

Then where does he have time to make money?

How can he marry multiple wives if he doesn't have enough money?

How to raise a hundred children?

How to ensure that the Book of Eternal Life is effective and obtains eternal life?

Moreover, the rule of law in the imperial court is quite good now, and these are not troubled times!

Even if you don't have martial arts, you can still live.

In the prosperous times, those heroes who violated taboos with force were often wanted and became wanted criminals.

He looks very dashing, walking around the world with his sword, but maybe he is not that happy in fact.

Otherwise, Lu Ba would not work under Liang Yikun.

Of course, it will be different if we encounter troubled times.

Moreover, the life span of martial arts masters seems to be generally several decades longer than ordinary people.

"It's better to ensure immortality for eternity first, and then pursue martial arts in the next life." Xu Sheng thought to himself.

He will still pursue multiple wives, concubines, and children throughout his life.

Just practice martial arts for an hour every day to keep fit.

Practice until he gets old.

It should be possible to develop inner strength.

It may be futile for an average person to do this, but he has the Book of Eternity and can carry these achievements into the next life.

Wait until he reincarnates in the next life.

It should be very good to be born with inner strength and martial arts cultivation.

Xu Sheng asked Lu Ba again if he had ever heard of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio? If he had ever heard of Immortal Cultivator?
