Chapter 9: Martial Arts Competition
Although the Wuxing Sect is just a sect, it has a series of businesses including restaurants, pawnshops, mines, and escort companies, making it a cross-field group-type giant.
What guarantees the existence of this behemoth is its military force!
Basically, every important shop has a "guardian" with high martial arts skills.
Among them, the escort business is the most important.
"Ninety percent of the escort business in Yaofeng County is currently controlled by our sect, and our friends from all corners of the world give us a lot of respect... Even so, the escort masters and porters occasionally suffer casualties, so we are in urgent need of talents like Fang Hufa..."
Along the way, Xiao Zha introduced with a smile.
For the same overseas assignment, being a thief in a restaurant, pawn shop or even a mine is much better than being a bodyguard who has to sleep in the open air.
However, such a task is not Fang Xian's turn at the moment.
"Are you escorting?"
Fang Xian didn't care. He came out to travel the world and see different things. Staying in one place for a long time was not what he wanted.
"The Black Tiger Escort Agency is ahead... eh?"
After passing an intersection, Xiao Zha saw a large group of martial artists gathered in a circle, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
"It seems like there is a martial arts competition going on? Why don't we go and take a look?"
Fang Xian took a quick glance and an interested expression appeared on his face.
Xiao Zha and Fang Xian squeezed into the crowd, their eyes flashing: "'King of Knife' Lu Changfeng? I don't know the man who is fighting against him. There are indeed many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the martial arts world, and there are many masters ..."
Lu Changfeng is a young master of the Fengyun Gang, one of the three major gangs in Yaofeng County. He is an excellent swordsman, and is said to have a bit of the style of the young 'King of Swords' Guan Sheng.
This is of course an exaggeration, the Sword King is one of the Four Kings, a well-known senior in the martial arts world, while Lu Changfeng is just a rookie at the county level, not even as good as 'Tianluo Star' Bao Qian, who is, after all, a rising star recognized by the entire martial arts world!
At this time, two warriors, one holding a knife and the other holding a sword, were fighting fiercely.
The blade gleamed coldly and the sword wind was compelling; even Xiao Zha was cheering secretly.
But Fang Xian blinked.
"Is this the strength of the younger generation? Isn't it too... weak?"
In his eyes, the two men's moves were full of flaws. If he were to take over, he could just grab a random spot and attack fiercely, and force the other party to give up and admit defeat.
"It seems that... the realm of the acquired great warriors is similar. What matters is the moves, experience, etc.... In this regard, I have the bonus of [Dongxuan Eye], which is like adding wings to a tiger..."
As for the innate masters? There were only a few in a county, so Fang Xian did not consider them.
Bang!
Just as he was thinking, the swords collided again, and this time, a long sword flew high.
"Excellent swordsmanship! I, Lin Han, admit defeat!"
The young man wielding the sword sighed and looked pleased.
Being able to fight with the 'King of Small Knife' for such a long time, the surrounding warriors have obviously recognized his strength. Maybe he will be famous throughout the county the next day!
But the next moment, Lu Changfeng did not stop!
A flash of knife!
Amidst the screams, one of Lin Han's hands fell to the ground.
"Haha...If you dare to challenge me, you have to leave something behind."
Lu Changfeng put away his sword and stood there with a cold expression. The surrounding warriors trembled and the atmosphere was solemn.
"Alas...what a pity for such a good hand."
Xiao Zha shook his head and motioned Fang Xian to follow him.
"Why, are you surprised?" He looked at Fang Xian's expression and couldn't help but smile.
"Yes, a little bit. Shouldn't we show mercy to others when we can?" Fang Xian asked doubtfully.
"Haha... childish!" Xiao Zha sneered, "There are countless masters in the martial arts world who hope to become famous. If you spare this one today, there will be ten or a hundred lucky ones coming tomorrow. They will be scared if they are not killed. Even if you are made of iron, how many pounds of nails can you hammer? If this young man had a master's backing, he might have held back. But judging from his swordsmanship, he is probably self-taught... Haha, it's a pity that another hot-blooded young man's dream of becoming a martial artist is shattered..."
Xiao Zha sighed like a veteran in the world.
"I see!"
Fang Xian looked at his fist, and an inexplicable color seemed to flash in his eyes.
The two of them walked in silence all the way to an escort agency.
This place covers a large area, and on the escort flag there is embroidered a black tiger with a mighty posture, as if it is about to pounce.
"We're here. This is our business, the Black Tiger Escort Agency!"
Xiao Zha led the way with a smile: "The guardians can rest for half a month. After half a month, they must report here and carry out a mission every six months."
"good."
Fang Xian agreed immediately.
Xiao Zha smiled and felt even more satisfied. He took Fang Xian into the escort agency and introduced himself to everyone one by one.
The chief escort leader 'Wang Tianyun', the escort masters 'Jin Shun', 'Qian Sanwu', 'Liu Yan' and so on.
They were neither hostile nor friendly towards Fang Xian, and treated him in a businesslike manner.
This is also the norm in interpersonal communication. You have to wait for a while and get to know each other in depth before you can have various exchanges.
According to the agreement, Fang Xian will officially come to the escort agency and become an escort master in half a month.
In Yaofeng County, the experts in the three mountains and five peaks will give the escort agency some face and will not easily touch the valuables being transported, but it is hard to say outside the county.
Generally speaking, most newcomers die at times like this.
…
Fang Xian returned to Wuxingmen and found that the leader was still in seclusion. He probably thought that even if he came out, he would have no time to pay attention to a small new guardian of Wuhutang.
However, the head of Wuhu Hall, Zhao Yi, summoned him once and gave him some encouragement, but his expression was indifferent.
Later, Fang Xian found out that Zhao Yi had some friendship with the palace protector who was defeated by him in one move, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Half a month passed in a flash.
Fang Xian, wearing a warrior's outfit and carrying a long sword, walked into the gate of the Black Tiger Escort Agency.
As he walked, his arms swung in strange postures, his steps were light and it seemed as if a pair of wings were growing under his ribs.
If there were an expert of the Five Forms Crane Fist here, he would surely be able to see that this was the result of practicing the White Crane Stance to a high level.
Fang Xian glanced and saw the attribute column:
…
【Crane Fist: Level 3】
[Dragon Fist: Level 2]
[Snake Fist: Level 1]
【Monkey-Shaped Fist: Not Yet Started】
"The third level of Crane Form Fist has finally developed the unique 'Flying Crane Power'. It seems that the standard for the small success of each of the Five Form Fists is around the third level?"
"Even Xiao Zha wouldn't have thought that I have learned all five styles of boxing, right?"
"This time, I need to go out and hone my martial arts , and strive to reach the peak of the acquired realm as soon as possible..."
According to Fang Xian's estimation, as long as the Tiger Fist breaks through the seventh level, it will probably reach the peak of the acquired realm.
Assisted by the other four types of boxing, you can train parts of the body that the Tiger Form Boxing has not taken care of, and the peak of external power will be within your reach.
'As long as your external skills have reached their peak, you can try to advance to the Xiantian realm through horizontal training. Although this is more difficult than the internal training, if you can achieve a breakthrough, there will be more benefits...'
