I can only beat noobs.

Chapter 11 Break your legs

Chen Ming originally thought that Huo Qianqian would soon bring a group of people to get revenge, beat him up, and then drive him away.

As a result, nothing happened until he finished his fifteen practice matches.

Wen Zehao did not send anyone to cause him trouble.

He was a little puzzled and left the Huo residence. Outside the gate, he saw Deng Ziyang's carriage again.

……

"Miss, does it hurt a lot?"

In a boudoir, the maid Hongmei looked at a clear red mark on Huo Qianqian's thigh, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"What do you say?"

Huo Qianqian was already in excruciating pain, and upon hearing her words, she became even more furious, retorting, "Do you want me to kick you and see what happens?"

Hongmei shrank back, ultimately afraid of the pain, and dared not take the bait. She said angrily, "Miss, this man surnamed Chen actually dared to lay a hand on you! I'll go report to the master and have him arrested so you can vent your anger."

"You stop."

Huo Qianqian sat up abruptly, aggravating her injury and wincing in pain. She said sternly, "You must not tell Grandpa about this."

Hongmei was stunned, looking puzzled. "Why?"

Huo Qianqian said through gritted teeth, "I will avenge this personally."

From childhood to adulthood, no matter who she sparred with, everyone would always let her win, which was really boring.

Today, she finally met someone who wouldn't let her have her way, someone who truly went all out against her. This rekindled her competitive spirit.

She was determined to win it back with her own strength, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep.

Huo Qianqian was still not at ease and warned, "If you dare to tell anyone, I'll break your legs."

"Got it, miss."

Hongmei reluctantly agreed.

……

"Qi Jun is a stubborn kid. He's been unwilling to accept defeat since he lost to you last time. So he wants to have another match with you today. Let's stop here when we've made our point."

On the carriage, Deng Ziyang explained why he had come to see Chen Ming today.

Chen Ming complained, "Brother Deng only needed to say the word, and I would have kept my appointment. Why did you have to come and pick me up in person?"

Deng Ziyang smiled and said, "It's on the way."

As she spoke, she sighed again, "Qi Jun is a man who values ​​his reputation the most. After he was defeated by you last time, he was too ashamed to go back and see Zhang Mingyu."

Chen Ming was somewhat surprised to see him address his third senior brother by his name without any respect. He said with self-reproach, "Alas, I should have held back, but Brother Qi's martial arts are too high, so I could only go all out."

"It was his arrogance that led to this defeat. I should thank you; he has learned his lesson and has at least made some progress."

As the two chatted, they soon arrived at a mansion.

This is Deng Ziyang's home. It's a large courtyard with five sections.

Deng Ziyang said, “After my mother gave birth to me, my father bought this house. Now that my mother is gone, I feel bored living alone, so I invited some brothers to come and live with me. If you ever have nowhere to go, come here.”

"must."

Chen Ming felt that this person had a real elder brother vibe; he was generous and magnanimous, and handled things with a sense of responsibility. He had a group of loyal followers around him. Given some opportunities, this kind of person might actually be able to achieve great things.

The two arrived at a large courtyard where several people were chatting and boasting.

Upon seeing Deng Ziyang arrive, the group immediately stood up and greeted him in unison, "Big Brother."

Deng Ziyang said, "Qi Jun, Brother Chen has agreed to have another match with you. You should thank Brother Chen."

Qi Jun immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen, for giving me the opportunity to redeem myself."

His eyes gleamed with intense fighting spirit.

Chen Ming returned the greeting, "Please enlighten me."

Deng Ziyang reminded them, "You two are friends, just exchanging pointers. You should stop when you've got it covered and not hurt each other's feelings."

"It's natural."

"Okay, let's get started."

Qi Jun made the first move; this time, he would not be careless. However, the first move was completely different from the last.

Chen Ming not only didn't avoid him, but instead took the initiative to come forward.

boom!
The two clashed head-on, and Chen Ming swayed slightly before regaining his balance.

His strength was not much inferior to his.

How can it be?

Qi Jun was taken aback, and his moves became chaotic. Chen Ming seized the opportunity and launched a series of attacks.

He could only barely hold on, and was suppressed almost the entire time.

After about ten moves, Chen Ming lightly tapped his shoulder, then swiftly withdrew his hand and stood there with his hands clasped.

Qi Jun stood there, stunned and somewhat lost.

At this moment, Deng Ziyang spoke up, "I didn't expect that Brother Chen didn't go all out last time."

Chen Ming explained, "Brother Deng misunderstood me. After my battle with Brother Qi last time, I gained some insights and actually broke through. I have to thank Brother Qi for this."

"I see."

Deng Ziyang turned to Qi Jun and shouted, "Qi Jun, are you convinced?"

Qi Jun trembled, not daring to look at Chen Ming, and lowered his head, saying sadly, "I...I admit defeat."

This time, he was completely overwhelmed and had no chance to fight back, which made him realize the gap between himself and Chen Ming.

Deng Ziyang said, "Let's go, let's drink until we drop at Zuixianlou. Brother Chen, this is to celebrate your improved skills. Please don't refuse."

And so, Chen Ming was dragged to Zuixianlou again.

……

After a satisfying meal, Chen Ming returned home around 4 PM, which is the Shen Shi hour.

He returned to his courtyard, and soon someone brought him a bowl of hangover soup. It was his sister-in-law's maid. "Young master, why did you drink so much in broad daylight?"

"I was dragged there by someone, and it wasn't easy to refuse."

As Chen Ming spoke, he noticed a patch on her skirt. Although it was made of the same color fabric, it was still easily recognizable.

He frowned. Had his family's financial situation really gotten that bad?

Although she was just a maid, if a family that could afford to support a maid were to dress her in patched clothes, wouldn't people laugh at them?

While the family is tightening their belts, what's the situation at the pharmacy?
"It seems I need to improve my strength as soon as possible."

He felt a sense of urgency.

Chen Ming opened the panel.

【Level: 5】

Current points: 15

[Technique: Iron Horse Stakes (Third Level 1/500+)]

Martial Arts Skills: Three Talents Fist (Mastery 10/500+), Eight Trigrams Saber Technique (Beginner 12/100+)

In the morning, after injuring Huo Qianqian, he upgraded "Iron Horse Stake" to the third level in order to deal with potential dangers.

That's why he was able to dominate Qi Jun and win so easily.

Qi Jun's "Iron Horse Stakes" is only the third level.

"You must become a true martial artist as soon as possible."

Chen Ming revised his short-term goals.

In this world, only by becoming a true martial artist and reaching a certain rank can one transcend social classes. After that, making money will be a very simple matter.

He calculated that he would earn a fixed 15 experience points per day, which would amount to 450 points per month.

In other words, it will take at least another month to break through to the fourth level of "Iron Horse Stakes", and it will probably take another two months to reach the fifth level.

"too slow."

We must find another source of income to earn experience points.
