A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 53 The Art of Balance
Luan Bao suddenly leaped over the coffee table in front of him, landed with the tip of his right foot touching the ground, and then his body tilted and flew up again, like a big bird flying into the sky. In mid-air, he slapped Duan Rong in the face!

"So fast!"

When Duan Rong saw Luan Bao leap up, he felt a chill in his heart. This was not light skill, but the speed brought by real strength, without any fancy moves!
Duan Rong was unable to dodge at this time. If he turned sideways, his back would be wide open and exposed to Luan Bao to hit him!

But he didn't have the confidence to take Luan Bao's palm!
At the moment when Luan Bao was taking pictures in mid-air, Duan Rong suddenly shrank his head, lowered his body, and rolled under Luan Bao's crotch in mid-air!
When Luan Jingfu saw Duan Rong like this, he immediately cursed!
"Street thug!"

Luan Bao landed on the ground with both feet and slapped the air with his palm. Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind behind his head. Duan Rong actually slashed at the back of his head with a palm knife!

Luan Bao was shocked, and immediately dodged sideways, then turned his palm to attack back!
Duan Rong's scoundrel style of suddenly rolling on the ground really made the faces of the three people in the hall change. Not only Luan Jingfu cursed, but even Xiao Zongting felt humiliated!
But just as Duan Rong rolled over Luan Bao's crotch, he suddenly jumped up and slashed at the back of Luan Bao's head with a palm knife!

Sword techniques and palm techniques have the same origin and principles.

Duan Rong's palm knife attack was a transformation of the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife style - Black Tiger Climbing the Mountain!
However, this trick is used here not only thoroughly, but also extremely cleverly!
It can be described as ruthless and cunning, unpredictable and mysterious!
It was seamlessly integrated with the previous rolling on the ground, without any sluggishness, just like the Black Tiger Climbing the Mountain move, which originally started with a rolling on the ground and then jumping up to cut.

But the three people present knew that this was not the case. This was Duan Rong's impromptu response!
Not to mention the internal skills, just talking about the attainment of martial arts, although Duan Rong is still an apprentice escort, he can remain calm and come up with ideas.

The ability to make good use of the skills you have learned shows that you have a talent!

Luan Bao twisted his waist and hips, crossed his right leg sideways, dodged Duan Rong's palm attack, and as he turned his body, he slapped Duan Rong's chest again!

The two figures were intertwined, almost within arm's reach.

It’s just that Duan Rong’s moves are old, while Luan Bao’s palm power is newly developed!

Duan Rong's heart sank slightly. He definitely couldn't avoid this palm!

Luan Bao's palm was accompanied by wind. If it hit his chest, it would definitely not be a light injury!

Duan Rong's eyes were fierce and his teeth were clenched. He suddenly followed the momentum of Black Tiger Mountain Climber's old palm knife and chopped down diagonally!

He swung his forearm down, raised his upper arm violently, and with his shoulder and hips together, he struck with an elbow, which hit Luan Bao's palm diagonally!

As soon as the two of them took over, Luan Bao was as steady as a rock, not moving at all!

Duan Rong took several steps back, his legs became weak, and he managed to stand with great difficulty!
His face turned pale and looked extremely ugly!

Luan Bao's internal energy was thick and surging, and once they came into contact, it instantly shattered Duan Rong's internal energy, causing his internal organs to shake. His throat felt sweet, and he almost vomited!

Luan Bao stood there, but was shocked. He thought Duan Rong would fly backwards!

He originally didn't want to kill Duan Rong with one palm, so he suppressed his internal energy at the second level!

If he really used the third level of inner breath skill, he could shatter Duan Rong's internal organs and kill him on the spot!
But if that happened, it would be a slap in Ruan Fengshan's face in public!
Of course he couldn't kill Duan Rong, but since he had already taken action, he couldn't let Duan Rong just retreat like that. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of both him and his son, as well as himself?

Duan Rong barely managed to suppress the urge to vomit, only to see Luan Bao attacking him again!
At this moment, his Qi was disordered and his internal energy was dissipating. How could he have the strength to fight again!
Duan Rong immediately rushed forward, stood behind Xiao Zongting, grabbed the backrest of the armchair behind Xiao Zongting with both hands, and looked at Luan Bao pleadingly. "I surrender!"

"You... come out!" Luan Bao was stunned, and looked at Duan Rong's rogue look, and suddenly became furious.

"I asked you to give me a try! I didn't ask you to kill me! Why are you still chasing me?"

Duan Rong's question made Luan Bao pause, and he was speechless for a while.

"Bao'er, come back!" Luan Jingfu suddenly spoke, his face as gloomy as a poisonous snake.

Luan Bao glared at Duan Rong, then retreated behind Luan Jingfu with a shameful look on his face.

Luan Jingfu is the chief of Yuanshun Escort Agency. No one dares to mess with him and his son in the agency.

But he never expected that today, his only son was played tricks by an apprentice escort in this gathering hall in a cunning and scoundrel manner. One can imagine the anger in his heart!
Luan Jingfu looked at Duan Rong with vicious eyes, as if he wanted to eat his flesh alive!
When Duan Rong saw Luan Bao retreat, he immediately felt relieved, let go of his hands, and stood upright behind Xiao Zongting!

The three people in the hall watched carefully. The speed and power of Luan Bao's palm just now were obviously infused with the power of the second level of internal energy!
But Duan Rong took the palm strike head-on and only retreated a few steps!

He neither vomited blood nor flew backwards!

It can be seen that although Duan Rong has only been practicing the second level for a short time, his internal energy has already possessed a certain combat power!
You know, he has been working as an apprentice in the escort agency for less than a month.

With such progress, he is undoubtedly a monster!
Those words Xiao Zongting said before, which sounded a bit boastful, were actually a bit conservative when I think about it now!

Indeed, as several people in the hall saw, Duan Rong's second level of inner energy had already achieved a certain combat power!

The internal energy in the Dantian has become like a small snake, able to coil head and tail together. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take Luan Bao's palm and not get hurt!

At this time, Xiao Zongting could no longer conceal his smile, and said, "I originally wanted to apply for a sum of money from the accounting office for Duan Rong's training. But Xu Shouxian, that old guy, has always been a miser..."

"It's okay. I'll tell Old Xu about this." Ruan Fengshan also smiled faintly and said, "Talent is hard to come by! But, Old Xu, you know that sometimes my words may not work for him. I can't guarantee how much I can get!"

Ruan Fengshan smiled and looked at Duan Rong, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

"As for this kid selling paintings on the street, since he is your apprentice, you can make your own decision. I think you can teach individual talents according to their aptitude. You are too rigid in sticking to the old rules and are just clinging to the old ways!"

With these few words, Ruan Fengshan has already placed himself on the side of Xiao Zongting and Duan Rong.

After all, Duan Rong's talent is obvious to all. Once he becomes successful, he will be a strong arm of the Yuanshun Escort Agency.

Moreover, he grew up and studied here. Isn’t this a great favor?

Duan Rong had been worried about his current situation, but after hearing this, he finally felt relieved.

Duan Rong stood behind Xiao Zongting and suddenly understood some subtleties of this escort agency!
Although Luan Jingfu is the chief executive, he is in charge of the overall business of the escort agency.

But among the six escort leaders, three were Xiao Zongting’s old subordinates, and two of them were trained by him, the chief instructor!

This identity is almost the same as Chiang Kai-shek's identity as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy!

How could Luan Jingfu not be afraid?
This situation was probably created intentionally by Ruan Fengshan, who was sitting on the tall and wide chair!

Let Xiao Zongting and Luan Jingfu check and balance each other. As long as he joins forces with the chief accountant Xu Shouxian to control the financial power, he can sit back and relax without any worries!
This is the so-called art of balance!

Ruan Fengshan was born into a family with first-class resources, but due to his limited talent in martial arts, he is still only at the fourth level of Inner Breath Realm.

It seems that I will never be able to break through the Qi realm in this lifetime!
However, relying on his strategy and tactics, over the past twenty years, the Yuanshun Escort Agency has not only become more and more prosperous, but the power is still firmly in his hands without any loss to others. He can be called a hero!
