Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 88 Outer City Black Market
As soon as the words fell, Lin Quanliang and others showed a knowing smile.

"Of course. Senior Brother Zeng and the others are disciples personally accepted by Master Tang. They practice secret martial arts all the time. Otherwise, what do you think we are doing in the gym every day? Isn't it because we want to behave better so that we can meet the master one day and be taught secret martial arts?"

Having said that, Lin Quanliang sighed, his expression somewhat sad.

Because he has been on the second floor for three years, if not five years. Unfortunately, this day still seems to be a long way off.

"Quan Liang, do you think perseverance alone is enough? Secret martial arts are not something you can learn in one go. It also depends on talent. I heard that only one or two people out of a hundred can learn it."

"Yes, as long as you learn the secret martial arts, you can constantly break through the limits of the human body, punch through a wall, jump from several stories high, and resist bullets with your body. What's more powerful, you can even call the wind and rain!" Tan Lei said with envy.

"Can you still call the wind and rain?"

Jiang Cheng was shocked.

"Hehe, it seems that Junior Brother Jiang really doesn't know much about secret martial arts."

Tan Lei smiled and explained: "Junior Brother Jiang should know about the Force, right?"

"I've heard that it's a mysterious and omnipresent force that constitutes the entire universe." Jiang Cheng said.

"Yes."

Tan Lei continued, "The secret weapon is to open the acupoints in our body and absorb this power. Most people absorb pure force. After absorbing it, they can strengthen their bodies and eventually have god-like power. There are also a few people who are spiritual and can absorb the force of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, so that they can call the wind and rain, just like the ancient gods."

"That's actually the case."

Jiang Cheng sighed.

In simple terms, isn't this just martial arts and cultivating immortals?
The ancestors of Yan State were indeed powerful.

"The two methods that Tan Lei mentioned both require opening the acupoints in the human body to absorb the force of the universe, but because the force absorbed is different, the effects are also different. But there is another method that is completely different from the first two." Sun Xiaoli blinked, "Guess which one it is?"

When the others saw this, they all smiled at each other.

When it comes to specific methods of cultivation, they don't know either.

But when it comes to common sense, they can talk about it very clearly.

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "It should be, cultivating the spirit?"

Sun Xiaoli widened her eyes.

"Junior Brother Jiang, you didn't know the answer long ago, did you?"

"Really not, it's just that you reminded me that the first two are related to our physical body, so the third one is naturally related to the spirit." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

Before traveling through time, he had also read many novels and movies.

There are three ways to improve your strength: physical, spiritual, and energy.

Martial arts is the body.
Cultivation is energy.
The third one is naturally energetic.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Jiang is really smart. That's right. The third way is to cultivate your spirit. When your spirit is strong, you can not only sense danger and control others, but also manipulate physical objects, making flying bullets turn or even fly back backwards. It's mysterious and unpredictable."

Lin Quanliang said: "However, the secret martial arts for cultivating the spirit are even rarer, and the threshold is also high."

"Yeah, let alone spiritual cultivation, I would be satisfied if I could just have an ordinary secret weapon."

"You are dreaming, kid. An ordinary secret weapon is still a secret weapon."

"Yes."

A sigh was heard, and the dinner table fell into silence.

"In fact, Junior Brother Jiang," Lin Quanliang looked at Jiang Cheng, "you may be the one among us who is most likely to be accepted as a disciple by Master Tang."

"Yes, Junior Brother Jiang, you are a few years younger than us, but you are so strong. Even a fool can see that you are very talented. Several senior brothers are also very nice to you. It is conceivable that it is only a matter of time before your reputation reaches the ears of the hall master." Tan Lei also said.

"It's not as good as you say." Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly.

"Maybe the master has accepted enough disciples and doesn't want to accept any more?"

"That's true."

Several people nodded.

There is no such thing as 100% certainty, it's just a high probability.

"If Junior Brother Jiang becomes the master's personal disciple, please don't forget us."

"Yes, Junior Brother Jiang, oh no, then, we should change our name to Senior Brother Jiang."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Jiang Cheng also smiled, but there was not much emotion in his heart.

After all, this eight characters have not yet been decided.

And if possible, you should think of one or even several options.

So, when the laughter gradually died down, Jiang Cheng asked curiously: "Brother Lin, is there no other way to get the secret weapon besides starting from the boxing gym?"

After the words fell, several people looked at each other.

"Yes, of course there is."

Lin Quanliang said, "There may be people hiding secret weapons in this slum, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It depends on luck. A few years ago, I saw someone being arrested by the law enforcement team for hiding secret weapons, and his family was separated. There is also a second way, the black market."

"black market?"

"Well, the black market. It is said that there is an underground entrance in the outer city area. After entering, you can reach the black market. There are all kinds of secret weapons, secret medicines, and secret treasures for sale. People who go in will wear masks. As long as you have money, you can buy what you want." Lin Quanliang said, with a look of longing in his eyes.

Not only him, but the others as well.

"This black market is hard to enter, right?" Jiang Cheng felt that this might not be much easier than finding a needle in a haystack in the slums.

"It's not difficult, but it's not easy either. As long as you get an invitation letter, you'll know how to get in, but the difficulty lies in how to get the invitation letter."

Lin Quanliang shrugged.

"So, Junior Brother Jiang, you should now understand that the boxing gym is the most reliable way."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

After listening to Lin Quanliang, I realized that this is indeed the truth.

But he was indeed curious about the black market.

If you live in the outer city in the future, you must go and see it if you have the chance.

"By the way, Senior Brother Lin, I have another question." Jiang Cheng asked again. It was more of a guess in his mind than a question.

"Junior Brother Jiang, you say."

"That's right. Even we know that Senior Brother Zeng knows how to use secret martial arts. Doesn't the law enforcement team know about this?"

"Haha, Junior Brother Jiang, you are still a little naive. Although the weapons ban was issued by the Horn people, the people who actually implement it are us Yan people. In this way, there is naturally room for manipulation. For some people, owning a secret weapon is a crime. For others, as long as they are not too high-profile and cause trouble, all they need to do is give some money and they will be fine." Lin Quanliang said meaningfully.

"I see."

Jiang Cheng showed a look of realization.

Sure enough, human nature is the same everywhere.
