The tile floor cracked, and the reinforced concrete underneath the tiles also cracked a little, causing the floor to shake.
[Hit the floor, gain +1 experience point]
Xue Jing's mouth twitched.
As soon as he had a hammer in his hand, he couldn't help but use the floor as a nail.
I hope my mom doesn’t notice when she comes back.
Maomao squatted beside him, looking at Xue Jing with his head tilted, an anthropomorphic look of disbelief on his little face.
“… You said you just came into contact with the breathing method three days ago?”
"Yes." Xue Jing nodded and straightened the standing sandbag that was knocked out by his punch.
"Never been exposed to martial arts before?" The cat's tail wagged.
"How many times are you going to ask?" Xue Jing was a little helpless.
"I've already said it, I have invincible talents and amazing wisdom."
He said this without blushing or beating his heart.
Maomao rolled his eyes and said, "He is quite talented, but it is too early to say that he is invincible. There are geniuses in this world who can learn to exert their strength as soon as they are exposed to breathing techniques."
"Some big companies can even use special technological means to artificially create this kind of 'genius'."
"The world is big, you just have a little talent, don't get carried away."
Ning Fengwan warned solemnly.
Xue Jing smiled, walked up to it, and pinched its proud little face: "I know."
"Don't touch me, and don't call me Master." Maomao said indifferently.
"Okay, Master Xiaowan." Xue Jing rubbed its cat head.
Ning Fengwan was just refutating out of habit. In the past three days, she had become accustomed to Xue Jing's rudeness.
"However, since you have such talent and have already developed your strength, we should find another way to enter the Hidden Dragon Dojo..."
Maomao thought for a while and said.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Xue Jing asked puzzledly.
The cat jumped up, jumped onto Xue Jing's shoulder and sat down, licked its paws and said:
"If you got in purely because of my connections, then you are a real 'connected person' and you will inevitably be looked down upon and treated differently."
"Then how do we get in, Teacher Wan?" Xue Jing couldn't help but joked when he saw that it looked like a little adult, which was a bit cute.
Seemingly quite satisfied with the title of teacher, the cat couldn't help but wag its tail, with a hint of anthropomorphic pride on its little face.
"Of course that's the rule of the underworld, come and challenge him!"
…
On the other side, the South City District Pier.
A sturdy old man wearing a black short coat, with gray hair, a gloomy face, and a body as tall as a thousand-year-old pine tree, walked slowly into a warehouse with his hands behind his back.
In the warehouse, Duan Kaiping and the black-clothed young man named Yun Ye had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the old man coming in, Duan Kaiping's face suddenly became serious. He knelt down in front of him, supported himself with his hands, kowtowed and said respectfully:
"I have met my teacher in Kaiping. I wish him good fortune and a long life!"
Yun Ye, who was standing next to him, looked at this scene and sneered, as if showing disdain.
"… "
The old man, Jiao Hongyuan, the master of the Golden Wind Dojo, did not show any change in expression. He just said to Duan Kaiping calmly, "Well, get up."
Then he turned to Yunye and said, "Where are the things?"
Yunye shook his neck, stretched out his hand and pointed his thumb back at a three-meter-high container in the warehouse.
"Knowing you'd be back today, I brought it and put it in there."
"Then our deal with Kant Company is now over. Please transfer the remaining money to..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiao Hongyuan turned his gaze to him and interrupted him without any fluctuation in his tone:
"Finish?"
"You may have forgotten that when we placed the order, Kant Company clearly stated that we must keep it confidential and not leak it."
"How did you do it? Walk through Edge City and rush in directly?"
"Now the Sixth Agency has intervened in the investigation. Do you know how big a problem this is?"
Yun Ye sneered, "What do you think?"
Jiao Hongyuan smiled.
"I heard that the 'Tianxu Insect Mother' can give birth to corresponding special insect species depending on what it is fed. I am very curious about this and whether it is true."
Yun Ye frowned and raised his left hand, which was wearing an arm-covering glove, without hesitation, pointing it at Jiao Hongyuan and the other man.
However, at the same moment he raised his arms, Jiao Hongyuan's strong body disappeared from the spot.
Duan Kaiping didn't react to what happened. His eyes blurred and Jiao Hongyuan appeared behind Yun Ye. He waved his right hand and shook off the blood.
“Golden Wind… White Rainbow Sword…” Yun Ye said the last sentence with difficulty in his hoarse voice, and his head and left hand slid down and fell to the ground.
The headless corpse was still standing, and the cuts on the neck and arms did not have the slightest edge, as if they had been cut by an extremely sharp divine weapon.
“Master… this…” Duan Kaiping swallowed, a little frightened.
"These desperate criminals are too rough in both their conduct and their work. They are lucky to die in my hands." Jiao Hongyuan said slowly.
"Master, what about the others?" Duan Kaiping asked worriedly.
"Of course I'll go down with him. Kant Company has already taken care of it."
Jiao Hongyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the three-meter-high container in front of him. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear some kind of beast-like breathing sound coming from inside.
"Kaiping, where are the things I asked you to prepare?"
Duan Kaiping said respectfully: "It's ready. All the cockroaches are farmed, not purchased from outside. The people are also ready. They are all officially recorded as dead or missing..."
Jiao Hongyuan nodded with satisfaction: "Let's prepare more. After a while, when the attention from above is diverted from Qingcheng, we can start planning."
"Yes." Duan Kaiping replied.
"By the way, Master, didn't my junior brother come back with you?"
"He's still in Fengcheng participating in the trials. He needs to play a few more games..."
…
In front of a building in Dongcheng District.
Xue Jing was wearing casual clothes suitable for activities. He raised his hand to block the glaring midday sun and looked up at the top of the building.
"The Hidden Dragon Dojo is on the seventeenth floor, GOGOGO, go up!"
Maomao sat on Xue Jing's shoulder, pointed his paw upwards and urged.
…
Please read on, please read on, please, please
Chapter 26 Charm Lv3, leave the rest to me
"What a handsome and tall brother..."
"Wow, there's a cat sitting on my shoulder, how cute!"
“Why are cats so good-looking? Take a sneak shot from this angle. It will definitely go viral if you post it online.”
…
In the bustling streets of Dongcheng District, high-rise buildings are lined up one after another. Xue Jing is standing on the street with his cat. His overly young face is somewhat out of place with the surroundings.
Faintly, I could hear a few pretty ladies in OL clothes and delicate makeup whispering not far away, and the charm experience on the panel kept increasing.
[Someone has developed a crush on you, Charm Experience +1]
[Someone has developed a crush on you, Charm Experience +1]
[Someone has developed a crush on you, Charm Experience +1]
[Someone said to you...]
[Charm increased to Lv3 (0/500)]
After closing the panel, Xue Jing asked:
"Are you sure I won't be beaten to death on the spot if I challenge you like this?"
The cat first looked at the boy in confusion, then sniffed him.
Why does he suddenly look better and smell better...
Shaking his head, without thinking too much, Maomao snorted, "Since this leader asked you to come directly, of course you are sure."
"In fact, this is the correct way to open the Hidden Dragon Dojo."
Xue Jing asked curiously: "Oh? How do you mean?"
The cat's tail swept across Xue Jing's cheek and wrapped around his neck.
"The disciples in the dojo are also divided into different levels. Those who come in just for the money won't be able to achieve anything even if they are taught seriously, if they don't have the talent, they won't be able to train well. If the dojo wants to keep its reputation, it has to rely on the real disciples, who are the ones with talent."
"As for how to select new disciples... Each dojo has its own method, and one of the methods used by Canglong Dojo to select new disciples is 'self-recommendation'."
"In the martial arts, character is especially important. Only with an invincible spirit can one deliver an invincible punch. If you are confident that you have enough talent and dare to show it to the dojo, you will have the opportunity to become a disciple of the Hidden Dragon Dojo."
"What could be a better way to show your character and talent than to challenge others?"
The cat joked:
"You haven't practiced martial arts much, yet you dare to challenge me. Old man Li will definitely appreciate your invincible talent and amazing wisdom."
Xue Jing said speechlessly: "What if I get beaten up after I go up there?"
"No."
Maomao shook his head.
"In order to maintain their reputation, the dojo has to save face, so they usually only send people around your age to accept the challenge."
"Although you have only just learned how to use your strength, your physical fitness is incredibly strong. This is very rare for people of your age. I don't think your peers in the Hidden Dragon Dojo will be your opponent."
"Besides, we don't want to succeed in kicking the gym. Even if you get beaten up after going up, as long as the people in the gym can see your talent and potential, then our goal will be achieved."
"Anyway, don't even think about it. Just go in quickly and tell me you want to challenge me. Leave the rest to me!"
Maomao urged.
"… "
Xue Jing nodded, "Okay."
After all, it was a free opportunity to enter the dojo, and he was very confident in his current self.
He opened the panel and took a look.
[Fitness Lv4 (139/1200)]
[Health Level 2 (109/500)]
[Cooking Level 3 (12/800)]
[Running Lv4 (873/1200)]
[Charm Lv3 (12/800)]
[Aiming Lv2 (169/500)]
[Fighting Lv1 (196/300)]
[Luck Level 1 (12/300)]
Although he spent most of his time during these three days studying how to use breathing to mobilize strength, he also gained a lot of experience in other skills.
Among them, the one who gained the most from fitness was promoted from Lv3 to Lv4. His physical fitness was once again strengthened to a considerable extent. The weight of his bench press has reached 200 kilograms. Although his punching strength has not been tested, he estimates that it is at least 240 kilograms.
