I can only beat noobs.

Chapter 5 50 o'clock

With the first role model in mind, the others were eager to try. They were all young and energetic, and after practicing martial arts for several months, they naturally wanted to test their skills.

Soon, people volunteered.

Then the third, the fourth...

Later on, they almost rushed to be the first to go.

Chen Ming treated everyone equally, allowing each person to fully utilize the thirty-six forms of the "Three Talents Fist" before defeating them.

You have defeated a level 1 enemy and gained 2 experience points.

You have defeated a level 2 enemy and gained 5 experience points.

……

A notification will pop up after each student is defeated.

Chen Ming felt a sense of joy, like the harvest was in full swing.

The teenagers' skills varied greatly; some were even unfamiliar with the moves.

Some were even more skilled; they had already mastered the basics of "Iron Horse Stakes" and their moves were quite impressive. He had to take them all seriously to avoid any unexpected setbacks.

Hong Mingquan, watching from the side, quickly felt relieved. Chen Ming had acted with great restraint, managing not to injure any of the students.

Moreover, he was quite proficient in the "Three Talents Fist" and was more than capable of dealing with these newcomers.

Through the battles, Hong Mingquan could tell at a glance which moves these kids hadn't practiced well enough and where they were lacking.

After each person finished their match, he would pull them aside and point out their shortcomings, telling them which moves they needed to practice more, and then instructing them to practice them fifty more times each day.

Hong Mingquan's teaching method is that simple and direct: if you don't practice well, practice more.

Still not good enough? Add more!
If this still doesn't work, then you just lack talent!

The concept of individualized instruction simply doesn't exist.

……

It was already noon when Chen Ming defeated the last student.

Even though his "Iron Horse Stakes" had already broken through to the second level, he was still panting heavily from exhaustion.

He played a full fifteen games, which was a huge test of his physical strength.

However, seeing the notification that he had defeated the enemy, he felt that all the hardship and fatigue were worthwhile.

You have defeated a level 3 enemy and gained 10 experience points.

Huh?
Chen Ming was somewhat surprised when he saw the message.

It's only LV3?

Same level as me?
He turned his head and looked at the boy who had just left. The boy was handsome with delicate features, fair skin, and a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

During their sparring session, he sensed that this young man's mastery of the "Three Talents Fist" was the best among all the newcomers. He could hold his own against him.

"He was hiding his strength just now."

Why would he do that?

Chen Ming was very curious and remembered the man's name: Li Jinchuan.

……

"Hmph, he's just a few years older than me in boxing. In two or three months, I'll definitely be able to defeat him with the Three Talents Fist."

As Li Jinchuan walked, his fists were clenched tightly, and he was quite resentful.

He wouldn't have lost to that guy if he hadn't been limited to using the newly learned "Three Talents Fist".

"Li Jinchuan, your Three Talents Fist is really well practiced. How exactly do you practice it?"

At this moment, two people came over and started a conversation.

Li Jinchuan ignored them, his face cold, and walked straight past.

The two men, left standing there feeling humiliated, were furious. "What's so great about them? They just learn the moves quickly, right?"

"That's right, if you were really that capable, you would have gone to Third Senior Brother's place long ago."

Li Jinchuan, who had walked a short distance away, heard the two men's conversation and sneered inwardly. He thought that talking to these mediocre people was a waste of his time.

He rushed home for dinner and then did extra practice.

I actually lost to someone today, so I need to practice the "Three Talents Fist" ten more times. ...

"You mean Li Jinchuan? His talent is no less than that of Seventh Junior Brother, but Master said he was too arrogant and needed to temper his temperament. That's why he was allowed to stay with me."

In Hong Mingquan's courtyard, he and Chen Ming ate and chatted.

When Chen Ming inquired about Li Jinchuan, he received an unexpected answer.

He suddenly realized, "I see. I knew he was much stronger than the others, and his moves were quite methodical. But, won't Elder Huo's actions discourage Li Jinchuan and cause him to leave in anger?"

If this leads to a situation where a young person is underestimated due to their poverty, it's no laughing matter.

Hong Mingquan disagreed, "Let him go. If he can't even handle this, he must be a restless person, and Master definitely won't accept him. Master said that no matter how talented someone is, he can't accept someone who is too sharp and outspoken. Such a person will surely bring disaster upon himself in the future."

Chen Ming was completely convinced, "Old Huo is truly farsighted and has a vision that is ahead of its time."

Indeed, how could such an arrogant person be willing to stay in the Huo family mansion and help Huo Chengkun teach these students? He would inevitably have to go out and make his own way in the world, and who knows what kind of trouble he might cause?
For Huo Chengkun, taking on such a disciple might not bring him any benefits. If the disciple caused trouble outside, he would definitely be implicated.

The risk is too great.

I guess the old man's primary requirement for accepting apprentices is that they be honest and upright.

People like Hong Mingquan, who have no roots or background, can only rely on him as a powerful figure.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Ming went home.

He returned to his small courtyard and opened the control panel.

Name: Chen Ming

【Level: 3】

Current points: 50

[Technique: Iron Horse Stakes (Second Level 0/200+)]

Martial Arts Skills: Three Talents Fist (Proficient 21/200+), Eight Trigrams Saber Technique (Beginner 12/100+)

Fifty points!
He was somewhat excited; the score was much higher than the thirty points he had expected.

Because among these newcomers, four were at level two, and each contributed five experience points.

There was also a level 3 player who contributed ten experience points.

That adds up to exactly fifty points.

Adding all of it to "Iron Horse Stakes" instantly brought the progress to a quarter.

However, he now has a new idea.

Improving one's cultivation level is important, but the way he currently gains experience points is by defeating opponents, so proficiency in martial arts is also crucial.

Before reaching a certain rank, everyone is considered low-level. At this level, battles are more about combat experience and martial arts skills.

Like those newcomers today, even though they've practiced martial arts for a few months, half of them can't even beat a street thug. There's only one reason: they lack experience.

And in this world, the number of mediocre martial arts practitioners is also the largest.

Chen Ming believed that he could make a name for himself with his outstanding martial arts skills. Once he became famous, countless people would come to him to be his sparring partners.

So he came up with a plan to add points.

Add 5 points to "Iron Horse Stakes".

Add 20 points to "Sancaiquan".

Save the remaining 25 points for now.

After the points were added, Chen Ming felt a warm current surge through his body, giving him a sense of satisfaction from the increased power.

I have gained new insights into the moves of the "Three Talents Fist".

The panel has changed.
