Hongkou Dojo Comes Looking for Trouble

As soon as Li Shuwen finished his practice, he exhaled a stream of white breath that extended two meters before gradually dissipating. He then said to Yang Xuan, "Your turn to try."

Ding - Li Shuwen has taught you Horse Stance, currently at beginner level.

Yang Xuan's eyes widened. This works too? This system is pretty good. Looks like becoming a genius won't be difficult. With that, he immediately assumed a Horse Stance, perfectly proper, though it lacked the divine aura of Li Shuwen's.

Li Shuwen remarked with surprise, "Have you practiced Horse Stance before?"

"No, Master, I've never practiced martial arts before," Yang Xuan replied, scratching his head.

How is that possible? It took me about a month to even get started with Horse Stance, and three months to reach minor accomplishment. This kid's Horse Stance is at least at the minor accomplishment level. Could it be that this kid's martial arts talent is that high? Hmm, if his martial arts talent is truly that high, I wonder if I can teach him my signature skills.

"Not bad, Ah Xuan. Try to hold it longer; it will be very beneficial for your body." With that, he turned and went back into the house.

Yang Xuan nodded in agreement. The problem was, Yang Xuan himself was curious why he wasn't tired. It was said that after practicing Horse Stance, one's legs would feel weak and shaky. He, however, felt completely fine and even quite comfortable.

He checked his status. Alright~_~, I'm already at intermediate Horse Stance. As expected, with the system in hand, the world is mine. Unbeknownst to him, he had already become engrossed in it.

Li Shuwen had originally intended to make Yang Xuan suffer a bit, to let him experience the hardships of martial arts training. To his surprise, when he looked, the good lad was still practicing Horse Stance at lunchtime, and his stance was becoming increasingly proficient. Li Shuwen decided not to disturb Yang Xuan and see how long Yang Xuan could maintain his Horse Stance for the first time.

Yang Xuan never knew that practicing martial arts could be addictive. He felt warm all over, incredibly comfortable, and increasingly energetic, not tired at all.

"The doctor's examination concluded that Master was likely poisoned by a slow-acting toxin that damaged his lung function. That's why he couldn't withstand Akutagawa's heavy blows during their match. There must be a traitor within our Jingwu School," Chen Zhen said with a heavy expression.

"Chen Zhen, what exactly are you back for?" Nong Jinsun suddenly questioned.

"Uncle Nong, why do you ask me that?" Chen Zhen was a little surprised by Nong Jinsun's displeased tone.

"For the two days you've been back, all our fellow disciples have treated you like an idol they admire. Have you ever considered how Ting En feels? Ever since you returned, you've been making all your decisions unilaterally. Have you even asked Ting En? After all, he is the head of the Jingwu School," Nong Jinsun said sternly.

Yang Xuan now possessed the strength of more than three men, and his hearing had also been enhanced. Although they were quite far away, and the sounds of Jingwu School disciples practicing martial arts in the training ground were present, Yang Xuan could still hear Chen Zhen and Nong Jinsun's conversation.

So the plot has reached this point. It looks like it's happening in the next few days. I need to prepare. According to the plot, tomorrow Akutagawa, that unlucky kid, will be killed by Fujita Go, and the blame will be framed on Chen Zhen. And most importantly, before Chen Zhen returned, the Jingwu School had a confrontation with the Hongkou Dojo. Although I have the strength of three men now, and telekinesis, when the fighting starts, it will be a flurry of blades and shadows. I can't fight so many with just my fists. Who knows if I might accidentally harm innocent people? It's better to be cautious.

He finished his practice, looking at his perfected Horse Stance and his current strength of four men. So Horse Stance is this effective? Don't underestimate the strength of one man now. If an ordinary person has perfected their Horse Stance, they will definitely have the strength of two men or more. Combined with decent martial arts, they can indeed be considered dominant among ordinary people.

He took a shower and went to bed, thinking he needed to practice more tomorrow. Saying this, he finished his practice and headed back to his room.

Yang Xuan didn't notice that at the turn of the courtyard of the guest rooms, a dark figure had been watching Yang Xuan practice martial arts. The dark figure's eyes showed a look of contemplation and surprise. This kid hasn't practiced martial arts before, and he went from beginner to perfect in Horse Stance in just one day. What a freak. I'll keep watching.

There was no incident overnight. Because of his martial arts practice, he slept particularly soundly that night.

Aoooow~ Yang Xuan stretched his body with a long yawn. He suddenly realized that this kind of life was actually quite comfortable. The air was good, and he had a master who cared about him. Since he was Li Shuwen's disciple, the other disciples of the Jingwu School also looked at him with envious eyes.

"No need to practice!" Just as he was about to assume the Horse Stance, a deep voice came from behind him. Li Shuwen slowly walked out from behind.

"I really don't know where you little monsters come from. When I was 40 years old, I barely managed to perfect my Horse Stance. You, boy, achieved it in just one day. And looking at your posture in Horse Stance, your strength is probably not small either. Which of my martial arts do you want to learn?" Li Shuwen said with a sigh.

"Master, I want to learn Baji Quan," Yang Xuan said with a look of longing.

Choosing this is also related to Yang Xuan's personality and habits. Yang Xuan prefers fitness and has also practiced Taekwondo. Even when playing games, he always chooses warrior-class professions. He just likes to go head-to-head.

"Baji, originating from between heaven and earth, meaning the eight directions of the nine provinces. Look, this is the Baji stance," Li Shuwen slowly introduced.

'Six Elbows' - the small Baji frame.

Ding ~ Learned Baji Quan (Beginner)

"Ah Xuan, did you understand that?" Li Shuwen asked.

...I think I kind of understand. Yang Xuan thought slightly.

Li Shuwen was a very good teacher, having taken on many disciples. He was adept at offering different insights for different problems, thus teaching according to each student's aptitude.

Perhaps because Telekinesis had been continuously strengthening him, and his Horse Stance was perfected, his progress in Baji Quan was rapid.

Since Yang Xuan had never practiced traditional Chinese martial arts before, he was extremely dedicated to the renowned Baji Quan. Moreover, with the guidance of a famous master, he learned very diligently. Thus, with one studying hard and the other teaching wholeheartedly, their master-disciple relationship grew closer in a short period.

Unknowingly, several hours passed. Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the main entrance, filled with curses and a hint of Japanese.

Hmm, looks like the little Japanese devils have come looking for trouble. Although it's a bit dangerous, I've been living here for several days and haven't paid rent. It wouldn't be right not to help out at a time like this.

Yang Xuan quickly walked to the main hall. A fight was already underway, and the area in front of Huo Yuanjia's memorial tablet was in chaos.

Yang Xuan was also a bit flustered. How do I get involved? My experience fighting people is limited to school brawls.

However, Yang Xuan didn't have to feel awkward for long. A Japanese man spotted Yang Xuan in the corner and immediately charged at him with a yell.

As if by instinct, Yang Xuan stepped forward. The Japanese man reacted quickly, attempting to slash with his samurai sword. However, he found the sword too long to change his move effectively. Yang Xuan didn't waste any words. As if by instinct, he used a Six Elbows strike, directly hitting the Japanese man's vital point. He heard a cracking sound, and the Japanese man fell to the ground, clutching his chest in pain.

In just a few seconds, Yang Xuan had confirmed his confidence.

'Haha, they can't take a hit. Simple, simple.' Although his confidence was soaring, Yang Xuan still used his telekinesis to cover himself. While it wasn't as strong as a telekinetic shield, it was better than nothing.

After taking down one opponent, he was full of confidence and charged forward to deal with the Japanese men who were attacking the female disciples of the Jingwu School. Since gaining telekinesis, he had already been strengthening his body, and now he had also practiced Baji Quan. He was like a bulldozer, seeing a Japanese man and delivering a punch to the head, or stepping forward with an elbow strike. The strength of four men combined with the power generation method of Baji Quan made him virtually invincible.

Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect to receive such a talented disciple in my old age. More importantly, this disciple is very filial and patriotic. It's obvious. Haven't you seen that the Japanese men beaten by Yang Xuan are either on the ground or have fractured bones?

With Li Shuwen's eyesight, he could clearly see that several of the Japanese men would have serious long-term consequences even if they recovered.
