I Want to Learn Martial Arts

The sky gradually dimmed.

Inside the warehouse of the Datong Trading House.

Chen Fan, dressed in hempen clothes, set down his abacus and brush, yawned, and stretched his back.

His entire body popped and cracked with the movement.

Looking at the dim sun outside the window and the grayish-brown city walls in the distance, this delicate-looking youth of only thirteen or fourteen years had a complex expression flash through his eyes.

It has already been half a year... since I arrived here.

He was a transmigrator.

The place he was currently in was a feudal dynasty known as the Great Gan Dynasty, not any ancient dynasty from the memories of his past life.

Chen Fan only knew that this location was a small county town called Flying Spirit County, which was under the jurisdiction of the Yan Capital City of Clear River Commandery; he knew nothing else.

Just as his mind was filled with wandering thoughts, he saw an old man push the door open and enter.

Chen Fan reined in his wild imagination, his gaze focusing on the cloth bag in the old man's hand.

The old man checked the many ledgers and papers in front of Chen Fan, then revealed a look of satisfaction. "Little Chen, you've worked hard this month..."

As he spoke, he handed over a cloth bag.

"This is your monthly pay."

Chen Fan happily took the cloth bag from the old man's hand.

"Many thanks, Steward Hou."

"Keep up the good work." The old man stroked his beard, nodded kindly at him, and without saying more, walked straight away.

Only then did Chen Fan open the cloth bag. Looking at the clinking copper coins and scattered bits of silver inside, he confirmed the amount was correct. He carefully took out the silver, hid it close to his body, and then hung the cloth bag at his waist.

One string of copper coins and two taels of silver.

The total value was three taels.

For someone of the commoner class like his original self, this amount of money was already quite significant.

It was enough to cover the food expenses for an average family of five or six for quite a long time!

In his past life, Chen Fan was not exactly a high-level intellectual, but he had at least finished his undergraduate studies.

After transmigrating to this world, his knowledge was far superior to that of ordinary people.

He spent a few months' effort to basically learn all the characters of this strange world, and then, after quite a bit of trouble, finally found a job as an accountant!

This was his second month receiving his monthly pay!

Recalling all the troubles and the contempt from others since his transmigration, and then being valued by old man Hou and receiving a monthly pay of three taels, even with the life experience of his past life, Chen Fan could not help but feel a great deal of emotion.

At the same time, he became even more convinced.

No matter which world it is, cultural accumulation is extremely important!

Chen Fan walked along the wide main road, carrying the vegetables and meat he had just bought, his pace a bit faster than usual.

The county town where Chen Fan lived was not particularly prosperous, but the roads were very wide.

The pedestrians along the road could also be described as bustling.

His nose twitched as he smelled the aroma of wine coming from the roadside, and he could not help but pause.

He glanced at the winery next to him, but did not linger and walked away directly.

The Great Gan Dynasty government strictly prohibited the brewing of private liquor.

This caused the price of wine to be terrifyingly high, even more expensive than meat!

In his memories, his original self could occasionally eat a meal with meat, but he had never seen his family buy wine.

It was also at this moment.

A series of unbridled, wild laughter suddenly came from ahead. Chen Fan's ears twitched, he narrowed his eyes, immediately stopped in his tracks, and looked toward the road in the distance.

Hoofbeats thundered, and dust sprayed everywhere.

It was a team of galloping horses coming from afar.

Sitting atop the white horse in the lead was a young master in brocade robes, looking to be about twenty years old.

That wild laughter came precisely from this person's mouth.

As the horses galloped forward, sounds of chaos erupted continuously!

This was inside the county town, and logically speaking, horsemen were not allowed to run rampant like this.

However, rules were meant to be broken, and anyone who dared to ride a horse without restraint in this Flying Spirit County was definitely no ordinary person.

From a distance, Chen Fan immediately confirmed that this was someone he could not afford to provoke.

Chen Fan reacted quickly and immediately shrank to the side of the road.

With his current small frame, if he were trampled by a galloping horse, he would at least break a few ribs, if not die.

Pedestrians on the road scattered in chaos, and a clamor rose up.

A sharp intake of breath suddenly reached Chen Fan's ears.

"Look at that man!"

Chen Fan was startled.

He shifted his gaze, only to see a young man in white standing stock-still in the middle of the road, as if stunned, about to be struck by the galloping horses.

His pupils constricted; he could almost see the gruesome scene of the youth being splattered with blood on the spot.

A flicker of an instinctive impulse flashed through his heart, and he immediately lunged forward, intending to pull the youth to the side of the road.

However, before Chen Fan could even extend his arm.

The youth in white let out a light laugh, pushed off with both feet, and leaped up gracefully, heading straight toward the charging horse.

Then, hands moving forward, the youth landed lightly and pressed with extreme precision onto the face of the galloping white horse.

In an instant, the leading white horse seemed to be struck by lightning; its front hooves suddenly buckled, and it crashed to the ground with a thunderous thud.

The young master in silk robes on its back could not stop his forward momentum and was thrown from the saddle, tumbling several times before landing with his face instantly covered in blood.

"Young Master!"

The riders behind him also reined in their horses one after another, leaping down in a panic.

Chen Fan, standing to the side, had his eyes wide open.

"This—"

He was completely stunned by this scene.

The youth in white landed lightly, robes fluttering, seemingly without a speck of dust clinging to them.

How could this be something a human was capable of?

Chen Fan looked at the poised, fluttering youth in white, feeling his entire worldview shattering.

Could human strength really reach such a level?

"A martial artist! This is a martial artist who has achieved success in their cultivation!"

Chen Fan quickly heard the commotion from the passersby nearby.

Martial artist??

Chen Fan's heart stirred.

A multitude of thoughts flooded his mind.

This world did not seem as simple as he had imagined.

Could martial arts really be practiced to this extent?

He looked toward the main road.

The young man in fine silk was being helped up by servants, his face covered in blood and his mouth twitching, though he had already fainted.

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Chen Fan quickly learned that this unconscious rich young master was actually the second young master of the third generation of the He Clan.

Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat.

Although he had not transmigrated for long, he had heard of this family in his memories.

It seemed they were one of the major families in Flying Spirit County, and even the major gangs in the county had to bow their heads to the He Clan!

A man who appeared to be a steward in black stepped out from behind them, looking at the youth in white with great apprehension. His eyes burned with rage, yet he dared not act rashly, only cupping his hands in a salute. "I do not know which young master you are, but regarding this matter, our He Clan..."

The youth in white swept a cold glance over them and shook his head. "I am Li Linliu of the White Cloud Martial Academy. If you want revenge, you are welcome at any time."

As soon as these words were spoken, the steward in black froze, his expression changing instantly.

He dared not say another word, seemingly having heard of the name Li Linliu. His eyes flickered as he gave the surrounding servants a signal to retreat, clearly not intending to provoke this person.

These fellows were no fools.

Li Linliu gave a disdainful sneer, then turned back to look at Chen Fan and nodded at him.

Li Linliu had naturally noticed just now that among all the people on the street, only Chen Fan had reached out a helping hand, even if he hadn't actually managed to help.

Only then did Chen Fan see Li Linliu's face clearly.

The eyes were clear and bright, the features handsome, and the skin was impossibly fair.

Chen Fan's heart stirred.

This was no young master; it was clearly a beautiful girl disguised as a man!

However, Li Linliu only nodded at Chen Fan, swept a glance over him, and then walked away with a light gait.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, and it took a long while for his heart to stop pounding wildly!

This frantic beating was not because Li Linliu was good-looking, but because a special door seemed to have opened before him!

In the few months since he had transmigrated, it was not as if he hadn't heard the title of martial artist, but he had never taken it seriously, assuming it was just the level of traditional martial arts from his previous life.

But after seeing Li Linliu easily kill the horse with his own eyes, along with the reaction of the He Clan's people, Chen Fan's heart grew fervent.

"I want to learn martial arts too!"

A strong desire erupted in his heart, and at this moment, he firmly memorized the name White Cloud Martial Academy.
