Chapter 13 Qin Army
"Let's go practice our boxing."
Lu Li walked over and patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder.
"Senior Brother Lu, he called you Junior Brother, and you didn't even react?" Zhang Wu was indignant on Lu Li's behalf.
He joined the sect later than Liu Zheng, so it was normal for him to be called junior brother. What he was dissatisfied with was Liu Zheng's attitude.
Lu Li was different; he entered the sect half a month earlier than Liu Zheng!
Lu Li naturally knew what Zhang Wu was thinking, but calmly spoke:
"Today's task is not over yet."
He had nothing to say to Liu Zheng.
No matter how much you say, the other party won't even glance at you; instead, they'll only become more arrogant.
If you really feel indignant, you should practice your boxing skills hard, break through to the Ming Jin level, and give these people a good slap in the face!
"Senior Brother Lu, you're right! We need to practice our boxing!"
Zhang Wu seemed to have figured it out as well, and stopped worrying about it. He turned around and followed Lu Li's footsteps, heading towards the plum blossom stakes.
The two practiced for another afternoon.
Lu Li wiped away the beads of sweat that were about to roll down his cheeks.
As the sun began to set, Lu Li and Zhang Wu practiced their stance training several more times and then sparred a few more times with their fist techniques.
Just as they were getting ready to have dinner, a voice came from outside.
"Zhang Wu, Lu Li, Wang Han... it's your turn to do the work today!"
The loud shouts immediately made the two starving young men's noodles twitch.
According to the rules of the martial arts school, apprentices who have not yet reached the advanced level must not only practice martial arts, but also take on many chores on a daily basis, such as washing clothes, cooking, carrying water, chopping wood, cleaning the stables, cleaning the outhouses, sweeping the courtyard, and so on.
This was something that their second senior brother, Duan Kang, had already explained to them when they were admitted to the hospital.
You can refuse to do it, but each person will have to pay an extra 500 yuan.
Let's do it!
Lu Li decisively picked up a broom and began sweeping the courtyard.
He knew perfectly well that cleaning the courtyard was the easiest task, while cleaning the stables and tidying the outhouses were the most difficult.
Lu Li never wanted to do that kind of work even once.
"Senior Brother Lu is truly brilliant!"
With a sigh, Zhang Wu also picked up a broom in a very professional manner.
But before the two could even begin cleaning, the senior student in charge of today's task spoke up:
"Lu Li, Zhang Wu, it's your turn to clean the latrines today."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wu immediately looked distressed.
Although Lu Li was reluctant, he quickly made a mask out of rags, took a brush, and headed to the outhouse.
The two walked to the outhouse, and smelling the unpleasant odor, Zhang Wu took a deep breath, seemingly making up his mind: "Senior Brother Lu, how about I do it by myself... I... I..."
"I've loved cleaning toilets since I was a child..."
Lu Li quickly noticed that the words were not what they seemed.
He recalled how, in the first few days after this junior apprentice joined the school, he would pester him and Liu Zheng every day, telling them outrageous lies.
What does it mean to love washing clothes since childhood? What does it mean to love folding blankets since childhood? What does it mean to love cleaning since childhood?
Today, a completely new version has also evolved.
"I didn't realize you were so versatile," Lu Li teased.
Immediately, Zhang Wu lowered his head somewhat embarrassed.
"Is something on your mind?" Lu Li suddenly asked.
He noticed that Zhang Wujin had been somewhat distracted this afternoon and so far, whether he was practicing standing meditation or boxing.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wu sighed and said dejectedly:
"Senior Brother Lu... when you break through to the Ming Jin realm one day, will you, like Liu Zheng, disown our brotherhood?"
Today, Liu Zheng truly made him feel humiliated and indignant.
Aside from Liu Zheng, Lu Li was the only other person he knew in this courtyard.
"Don't worry about that. I, Lu Li, am not a noble person, but I am not the kind of person who turns his back on others."
As Lu Li spoke, he took the lead in cleaning the latrine, and then said:
"Trying to please others won't earn you any camaraderie among fellow disciples."
Zhang Wu was moved by what he heard, and immediately clenched his fist.
"Senior brother, you're right!"
"Stop fucking kidding me! Even if you're touched, you can't just stand there making me clean the latrines all by myself!"
……
Time flies, and a few more days have passed.
In the training ground, Duan Kang was explaining to Lu Li.
"The foundation of boxing techniques lies in stance training and blood circulation, while strength is the sharpest weapon. If you want to improve your combat skills, you must understand what it means to have 'no fixed moves'."
After Duan Kang finished speaking, his eyes turned cold, and his aura suddenly changed.
His legs were slightly bent and together, his right arm encircling a baby. He didn't move for several breaths, yet Lu Li couldn't relax even a little.
Because in Lu Li's eyes, Duan Kang at this moment was a vicious wolf ready to pounce!
Suddenly, Duan Kang moved. His right arm shot out in an instant, his five fingers joined together like a bird's beak, and he suddenly punched out.
The attack was accompanied by the sound of wind. Suddenly, Lu Li's eyelids twitched wildly, and he felt a chill rise from his spine. His heart pounded wildly, and he took a step back, but it was too late. He was no match for Duan Kang.
Left with no other choice, Lu Li could only cross his arms in front of his chest, preparing to take the blow head-on.
But this fierce strike suddenly stopped just as it was about to hit Lu Li's arms.
Only a gentle breeze remained.
Lu Li felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He was panting heavily, and when he came to his senses, his back was already soaked with sweat.
Is this the master of internal strength?
Lu Li had a vague feeling that if Senior Brother Duan Kang's attack really landed, even if he had his arms to block it and was not hit in the 'Yifeng' acupoint, he would still die!
"This move is just the simplest drilling punch. Depending on the acupoints it strikes, it can also be called 'striking acupoints and striking the jaw.' This is what I mean by 'there are no fixed forms for moves.'"
Duan Kang stopped and said in a deep voice:
"A light touch on this acupoint will cause dizziness, a heavy strike will be fatal. True skill lies in attacking what the opponent must be able to save!"
"The routines of boxing are meant to teach you the coordination between power transfer and body movement, not to teach you to use formulas to fight. There are no invincible formulas in this world. The only way to defeat and destroy your opponent is to strike them down and destroy them in the fastest, most ruthless, and most effective way when facing them. Attack where they must defend, and kill them with a single blow. That is true skill, that is the art of killing!"
Lu Li took a deep breath and finally came to his senses. He clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I am deeply grateful."
Upon hearing this, Duan Kang waved his hand and said, "If you are willing to learn, I am also willing to teach. There is no need for such formality between fellow disciples. If someone else comes to ask for guidance, I will also teach them."
"Reflect on it carefully."
After Duan Kang finished speaking, he left aloofly, leaving Lu Li still bowing in place.
"Hidden power, how enviable..."
Lu Li sighed with genuine emotion.
He sought advice from Senior Brother Duan Kang today because he realized his own shortcomings when he ambushed Zhou Quan that day.
[Destiny: Heaven rewards diligence] can indeed help one continuously accumulate proficiency in blood and qi.
However, it cannot provide me with practical experience!
If I had asked Senior Brother Duan Kang for this technique earlier, perhaps when I met Zhou Quan that day, I could have ended the battle with a single "slap on the acupoint and strike the jaw".
"Still not strong enough, needs more practice!"
After a brief period of frustration, Lu Li's fighting spirit was rekindled.
[Destiny: Heaven rewards diligence]

"Less than ten days until we can knock on the gate!"
Lu Li took a deep breath and continued practicing his boxing and stance training!
Zhang Wu was also deeply influenced by this and started practicing extra.
The two practiced until nightfall.
"Why haven't you two gone home so late?"
A voice suddenly rang out.
Lu Li turned around and saw an old man with a white beard eating persimmons standing in the moonlight.
If this person is not Qin Yan, then who is he?
"Greetings, Master."
The two said in unison.
Qin Yan waved his hand, indicating that the two of them did not need to stand on ceremony.
Actually, he had only come here to digest his food, but he hadn't expected to encounter two disciples who were quite skilled in stance training. Curious, he immediately asked:
"You two are doing well. What are your names? How long have you been here?"
"Reporting back to the Master, my name is Lu Li, and I have been a disciple for almost five months."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan's enthusiasm waned considerably, but he still acknowledged Lu Li's hard work.
"And you?" he asked Zhang Wu, turning to him.
"Reporting to the Master, my name is Zhang Wu, and I have been a disciple for almost a month."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yan's somewhat bored eyes immediately cleared up.
"Oh?"
