Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 194 Black Dragon Eighteen Moves

Grandpa Yang sent some good wine and food, so the younger generations like Xiao Ran were also treated to a great feast.

Just eating that plate of braised pork elbow made the brothers happier than during Chinese New Year.

As for the old rice wine, it has a sour and sweet taste with a low alcohol content. After drinking it, you will feel warm all over.

After eating and drinking, several people took a nap in the room.

As soon as the next morning came, several people went home to prepare according to Zhao Qingming's instructions.

Before leaving, Zhao Qingming grabbed Xiao Ran and pulled her aside. After making sure that no one was around, he asked, "Is your master okay recently?"

"Yeah, nothing serious."

Xiao Ran thought about it and didn't dare to say that nothing was wrong. When he saw his great-grandmaster's condition yesterday, it seemed that he was better than the young people. If it weren't for the increasingly thick corpse aura, Xiao Ran would have suspected that his great-grandmaster might be played by a player.

Zhao Qingming lowered his head and was silent for a while. Then he said earnestly, "Zhenye, let's fight tomorrow night. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. What we are fighting for is face. You are different from those families. Don't block your own way."

When Xiao Ran heard this, a warm feeling suddenly flowed from his heart.

Others might not understand what Zhao Qingming said, but how could Xiao Ran not understand it?

Zhou Shang and his friends all have families behind them, so even if things get out of hand, so what?

Is the Zhou family afraid? Does the Yang family care?
The three families of Sun, Li and Xie are powerful but still powerful, and Zhao Qingming has his grandmother supporting him behind the scenes.

I only have one master behind me. It would have been fine if it had happened in the past, but it has to happen at this time.

Zhao Qingming was afraid that he would be too harsh and in the end, no one would cover for him.

It's like there are many rich second-generation people in a dormitory, and you are the only commoner.

Although everyone is a good brother, they spend the whole night studying, go to bars, and don't care. It doesn't matter whether you take the college entrance examination or not. If you follow them and mix with them, in the end, they will inherit the family business, and you won't even get a second-tier university degree, and you will have no place to cry.

"Don't worry, I have a plan for this matter!"

Xiao Ran said he understood, then said goodbye to Zhao Qingming and went home.

My master is now in the charity cemetery, and I don't know what's going on. Xiao Ran was bored when he got home, so he fed some grass to the cow. The old ox ate it with great relish.

As for the vegetables in the backyard garden, Xiao Ran was too lazy to take care of them.

Are you kidding? I'm not here to live.

"Strange, this time the mystery city doesn't have any missions or strange rules. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Xiao Ran took a deep breath, turned around and went back to the room.

Since there was nothing to do, he might as well deal with the bodies of Shen Kuaidao and his archer companion.

While it's still fresh, let's see if I can learn any other skills from them that can be put to use tomorrow night.

After closing the yard door and the house door, Xiao Ran started to get busy.

First it was Shen Kuaidao’s body.

It was not difficult to sew it up, but this guy's chest bones were broken and his spine was fractured. Even if he sewed it up himself, he couldn't stand up. Xiao Ran had no way to deal with this.

It was the driver's fault for being so cruel in slapping me.

Therefore, the original idea of using Shen Kuaidao's body to make a corpse slave was obviously not feasible.

But Shen Kuaidao's body is still quite useful. It would be a good idea to keep it for now and disassemble it into parts later to strengthen Senbingwei.

"You repaired Shen Liuxing's body, and your rating is S-level. You gain 300 energy points."

"Privilege [Occupation] activated!"

A skill book and a memory book floated out from Shen Kuaidao's body, as well as an E-level cursed scroll [Aura]

Xiao Ran was too lazy to look at Shen Kuaidao's memory book, so he opened the skill book.

After searching through it, he found that Shen Kuaidao had very few skills. His only skill was slashing with a quick knife, which was not very useful to Xiao Ran. However, he did have a boxing technique that caught Xiao Ran's attention.

Eighteen Hands of Black Dragon (Mastery)
"This name sounds familiar..."

Xiao Ran thought carefully and said, "Hey, isn't this the military boxing that has been banned?"

I have seen it online before.

"Just right, this set of boxing is just right for the moment!"

Although he knew Tiger Fist, this set of boxing was actually just three moves. After using the three moves again, the effect would be much worse. Now, the Eighteen Moves of Black Dragon could make up for his shortcomings in this area.

"Would you like to consume 100 energy points to exchange for the Eighteen Moves of the Black Dragon?"

"Yes!"

Following Xiao Ran's confirmation, a complete set of Black Dragon Eighteen-Hand Fist appeared in Xiao Ran's memory.

This is the boxing technique that Shen Kuaidao learned from an old armed police officer. The old man not only taught Shen Kuaidao this boxing technique, but also took it apart move by move and taught Shen Kuaidao the technique changes and moves without reservation.

Don't underestimate these experiences, they are all honed on the battlefield.

In fact, most of the time, when you watch people practicing martial arts in martial arts gyms, you think their practiced moves are stupid and funny. You always think that these moves look like fancy moves. You don't understand why the arms are raised like this, why the legs are gathered together, and it's better to watch the direct and straightforward Sanda. Little do you know that these seemingly funny moves are just because they have not been used in actual combat. When they are used in actual combat, the changes in moves are conditioned reactions that have been repeatedly practiced in daily life. When the speed and burst are improved, it is simply not something that ordinary people can resist.

Of course, learning martial arts also depends on one’s understanding.

He has good comprehension and can use a variety of moves at will. In a split second, he can defeat the enemy with one move.

He had a poor understanding and when he encountered a robber, he performed military boxing back and forth sixteen times and was finally stabbed 32 times, which exhausted the robber.

Shen Kuaidao was learning seriously, and the other party was teaching without reservation.

But now all of this has become Xiao Ran's memory, Shen Kuaidao's subjective consciousness has been erased and embedded into his memory.

Just wait to absorb these memories.

Xiao Ran couldn't wait to collect Shen Kuaidao's body. He walked into the yard and started practicing the Eighteen Moves of the Black Dragon from beginning to end.

The moves change with murderous intent, such as the blue dragon stretching out its claws, the fairy meeting, stealing peaches from under the armpits, two dragons playing with a pearl, and the dragon wagging its tail...

After Xiao Ran finished practicing this set of boxing techniques, combined with his own experience and self-reflection, he finally understood why this set of boxing techniques was banned.

The eighteen variations of moves can be summarized in plain words: eye-poking, crotch-petting, throat-locking, head-butting, elbowing, kneeing, wrestling and finger-breaking, a series of rather insidious and brutal techniques, each one fatal, either killing or crippling, with the aim of leaving no chance of survival for the opponent.

Xiao Ran put this set of boxing techniques into practice and also incorporated the Tiger Dog technique into it. After a whole day, he gained a lot.

Only after he had mastered this set of boxing techniques thoroughly, he was satisfied and fetched a basin of well water to wipe his body with.

“Is there anyone there?!”

At this time, a questioning voice came from outside the door.

Xiao Ran stuck his head out and saw an old man wearing a tattered long gown, holding a banner in one hand and a bell in the other.

That bell was different from the bells seen in ordinary temples. It was a round iron ring. When you put it on your finger and shake it, there was an iron ball inside the iron ring that made a clanging sound.

This thing is called tiger support.

It is a must-have item for traveling doctors. They usually swing the bell to attract business, and can also be used as a weapon when in danger.

Xiao Ran just took a glance at the tiger support and immediately knew what the person was doing.

He came out and asked, "What's the matter, old man?"

The other party looked Xiao Ran up and down, with a smile on his face: "Not long ago, I passed by a family whose child had jaundice. I didn't have any medicine with me at the time, so I asked them to wait for two days while I went up the mountain to collect herbs. Unexpectedly, when I came back, the jaundice had subsided and the child was in good spirits. After asking around, I found out that there was a master. I came here today to pay a visit."

Xiao Ran didn't find it strange to hear that. He had introduced himself specifically in order to gain the woman's trust.

So it’s not surprising that the other party could find out about me.

Seeing the other person's kind and benevolent demeanor, and that he looked very energetic despite his gray hair, Xiao Ran put down his guard and said, "So that's how it is. Please come in, old sir!"

Xiao Ran invited the old man into the yard and asked him to sit down.

Then he brought a kettle and poured a large bowl of water for the old man, then explained, "The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't care about anything else. I gave him a few injections according to the medical book, and it was exactly the right treatment. When it comes to medical skills, the old man is praising me."

The old man nodded when he heard this: "You are brave, but you also have a kind heart."

He put down the tiger support, took a sip of the hot water, and put down the porcelain bowl. "I just came here and saw you practicing boxing in the yard. I see that although your boxing skills are very fierce, there are too many vicious moves in them. It's okay to deal with those bandits, but if you meet someone who is good at soft skills and internal strength, he can take your life in an instant."

"Um!!"

Xiao Ran was startled, then looked at the old man in confusion: "Old man is also proficient in this?"

"Hahaha, you've walked a lot, seen a lot, and know a little bit about boxing and kicking. Today, we meet by chance, and I see that you are good at boxing. It just so happens that I have a boxing manual here for you to study. If you can learn from others' strengths and make up for your weaknesses, it will be of great benefit to you."

As the old man spoke, he took out a thread-like book from his sleeve and placed it on the table. He then stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'm sorry to bother you. I hope we can meet again someday, little brother!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran hurriedly bowed and thanked him. After sending the old man out of the yard, he turned around and looked at the boxing manual on the table.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for the moment. I have seen a lot of such adventures in novels, but when I encountered them myself, I couldn't help feeling flattered.

He picked up the boxing manual on the table, but had no time to look through it.

I noticed the tiger support covered by the boxing manual below.

"Hey, old man, I forgot something!!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ran hurriedly wanted to pick up the tiger support and give it to the old man. This was the food he used for eating, and it couldn't be thrown away.

But as soon as Xiao Ran's hand grasped the tiger support, his face changed.

This tiger brace doesn't look big, but it is surprisingly heavy. When I hold it in one hand, my arm feels heavy, even heavier than holding a guillotine.

"Ding, discovered whether the D-level cursed item [Purple Gold Tiger Support] is activated!!"

What was even more unexpected to Xiao Ran was that this thing was actually a cursed object. Xiao Ran was shocked and hurried out of the yard.

The old man stood in the distance with a smile on his face. "Little brother, you and I are destined to be together. This item will help you. If you meet a master who is good at soft skills in the future, you will be able to defeat him with one blow."

After saying that, the old man walked away without even looking back. He was obviously walking very slowly, but within just three or two steps, he disappeared...
