Xiao Wu's New Friend (Part Two)

"Isn't there any other way?"

Qingzhu Zhu's eyes were full of disappointment. She had thought that Xiao Wu, who was precocious, lively, and had a unique way of thinking, could give her some inspiration, but it seemed that she had overestimated her.

"Let me think... Oh right, what does 'win a battle' mean?"

Xiao Wu tried to think about the problem in the same way as Zhou Qing, and it took her a while to find the key point.

"This is a method of inheritance. Two major families, the eldest son and eldest daughter marry, and the second son and second daughter marry. After they come of age, they compete against each other. The winner inherits everything, and the loser loses everything, possibly including their own Life." Qingzhu Zhu lowered her head, and her voice grew softer and softer.

"What kind of idiot came up with this inheritance method?" Xiao Wu felt that the founder of this cruel competition method must be mentally ill, seriously ill, the kind that is incurable.

Who would let their two sons and daughters kill each other?

Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiao Wu had seen some bird-type Soul Beast. If they laid two eggs and hatched two chicks, the two chicks would fight each other until the stronger one won and pushed the weaker one out of the nest to monopolize the mother bird's affection.

The mother bird wouldn't stop them, she would just watch quietly... But Xiao Wu's mother had told her that the mother bird didn't "encourage" them at all during this process. The fight between the two chicks was just the instinct for survival. Even if the mother bird tried to stop them, as long as the two chicks were still in the same nest, the fight would continue until one of them died.

Nature is cruel.

Xiao Wu had already realized this, but she never expected that there would be people among humans who would do this, and even actively encourage their children to fight each other.

In the villages where students were granted work-study opportunities, Xiao Wu had heard of several cases where sons fought over family property and land, causing great turmoil in the process of dividing the family property, leaving the parents at a loss for what to do.

Unexpectedly, some people are so outrageous as to encourage children to kill each other...

"Brain... brain-dead!"

The servant clenched his fists, really wanting to slap him—

This is to select the most outstanding successor!

It was indeed a bit cruel...

[Family... according to Zhou Qing, it's the aristocratic class, right? That's really beyond the comprehension of normal people!]

But Xiao Wu didn't continue thinking about it, and ignored the servant. She just said, "Children born into families like this are really pitiful."

"It's really quite pitiful."

Qingzhu Zhu's voice faded away.

"By the way, I know two people who are quite smart. Maybe they know what to do." Seeing Qingzhu Zhu's low spirits, Xiao Wu immediately pulled her along and ran towards the Blacksmith Shop. "Hopefully, Tang San hasn't finished work yet."

"You rude bastard! Slow down!"

Qingzhu Zhu's servants rushed over and shouted to Xiao Wu, "Don't hurt my young lady!"

"Relax." Xiao Wu chuckled, then picked up Zhu Zhuqing and lifted her legs over her shoulders, letting her ride on her back. "I'm going to speed up!"

Qingzhu Zhu exclaimed in surprise, but she had never experienced riding a horse like this before, which stirred Sisi ripple in her heart, and a natural smile appeared on her lips...

"This little girl—"

The servant unconsciously used his Soul Power, and was shocked. "A mere Soul Master, yet she is so fast. Could she be Agility-Attack System? But even if it's because her Martial Soul is of extremely high quality, she is only Soul Master of the teens. Her speed is nowhere near that of Soul Ancestor like me!"

Along the river that runs through Nuoding City.

Inside the Blacksmith Shop where Tang San works.

Zhou Qing carefully observed the blacksmith apprentices striking the red-hot iron blocks with their hammers, producing sparks, and then watched Tang San 'Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique. He confirmed his guess: the key to forging iron blocks and removing impurities was vibration.

However, the efficiency of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer is indeed much higher than that of ordinary blacksmiths. Moreover, in this process of using the opponent's force against them, the vibration generated by the collision between the hammer and the iron block is also used in conjunction with the force exerted by the arms, legs, and waist to temper the body.

Over time, physical fitness will inevitably be greatly improved.

In the original novel, Tang San was able to absorb Soul Ring beyond his level not only because of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but also because of the influence of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

This is the advantage of a major sect!

Sighing inwardly, Zhou Qing also asked Tang San for the key tips of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you," Tang San joked. "Just call me Third Brother."

"No way!"

Zhou Qing stared at Tang San with a disdainful look that seemed to say, "So this is the kind of person you are," and said Youyou, "Besides, I'd better not learn what your father taught you."

"It's nothing, he didn't say I couldn't teach it to others." Tang San said nonchalantly, and directly told Zhou Qing the power generation tips that Tang Hao had taught him.

The blacksmiths in the vicinity all pricked up their ears, eager to hear even a glimpse of it, hoping to improve their own forging skills.

Tang San didn't mind.

After all, he dared to say it in the Blacksmith Shop, so he didn't intend to hide it from others. Moreover, what he said wasn't the specific method of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, but just some tips on how to exert force. How the blacksmiths would integrate these tips into their own forging methods after hearing them would depend on their own skills.

However, Tang San believed that with Zhou Qing's intelligence, he would surely be able to figure out a way to control the Bloodline Power by using these techniques and combining them with his own Blood Circulation System Martial Soul.

"So that's how it is. Power comes from the feet, and the calves are the second heart of a person..." Zhou Qing felt that this was somewhat similar to the stance training of various traditional martial arts and internal martial arts that he had heard about in his previous life.

Do I have to do a horse stance?

Power originates from the feet...

The First Soul Skill, Yongchun, originates from the Moo Spring Ox. Its four hooves tread the ground, allowing it to accumulate the Power of the Earth while running, thus strengthening itself...

Tang San's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, during forging, doesn't involve standing still with both feet planted in the same spot...

Therefore, the fundamental reason why force originates from the feet is because it is supported by the ground. Without the ground, without a place to leverage, the idea of force originating from the feet would be meaningless. Everything needs something to rely on; even "vibration" requires at least two independent particles to be completed. In a vacuum, vibration would be impossible...

[Huh?]

Are forces reciprocal?

Zhou Qing immediately pulled his thoughts back, realizing that if he continued thinking about it, those forgotten physics formulas would attack his brain.

The most important task at present is to try out various physical movements one by one according to the power exertion tips mentioned by Tang San, and then combine them with the fist force of his First Soul Skill to summarize and organize Self-Created Soul Skill similar to the Wind-Scattering, which combines training methods and combat techniques.

As for the so-called physical movement method, Zhou Qing also thought of one: the Broadcast Gymnastics from his previous life!

"Tang San!"

"Zhou Qing, you're here too!"
