Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

"Bang!"

The wooden stake snapped and crashed into the wall not far away!

Liu Hui rubbed his eyes and stood up abruptly:

"Young man, you look quite young, yet you possess such skill. Tell me, which martial arts school do you come from?"

Li Tianxing steadied himself and said calmly and respectfully:

"Director Liu, I am a fisherman from Qinghe Wharf, not from a martial arts school."

"What... fishermen?"

"You learned all this kung fu on your own?"

Li Tianxing retracted his palms and stood up:

"Yes, it's nothing special, I'm sorry to have embarrassed Director Liu."

Director Liu stubbed out his cigarette.

"Haha, Li Tianxing, right?"

You are the strongest one I've recruited recently.

Since you know martial arts, I'll tell you the truth...

The mission this time is actually to hunt monsters.

Li Tianxing's eyes lit up.

It really was a demon hunt, just as I suspected...

Liu Hui continued:

"But the place where this monster was hiding was actually Pear Blossom Village, where the foreigners were temporarily staying."

Therefore, we were under a lot of pressure during this operation.

Then you...

"You'll come with me; Director Feng asked me to lead the team over there."

Damn it, that son of a bitch Feng Lin, he's too scared to go himself, so he's trying to shift all the blame onto me...

If it weren't for your powerful connections, I really wouldn't want to pay any attention to you!

Liu Hui appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart he was cursing his boss, Feng Lin.

"Understood, Director Liu."

Li Tianxing nodded in agreement.

Liu Hui stood with her arms crossed, her large belly protruding.

His gaze couldn't hide his admiration for Li Tianxing.

"You're so young, isn't fishing a waste of your prime years?"

Should I join the police force?

Martial artists are a rare sight in this world.

Ordinary people can't even get enough to eat, so how can they talk about practicing martial arts?

Therefore, martial artists like Li Tianxing, who are both young and without a background, are...

This is the perfect time to win them over!

Li Tianxing said gratefully:

"Thank you for your appreciation, Director Liu."

But for me, fishing is not just a job, it also helps me practice martial arts, so…”

Although Liu Hui was not a martial artist, he knew that these people who were obsessed with martial arts valued becoming stronger the most.

He shook his head regretfully:

"Okay, fine."

Take these two silver dollars; consider them my personal reward to you.

The three dollars the police gave you are considered a gift from the police department.

Li Tianxing earned Liu Hui's respect through his own abilities.

Li Tianxing accepted the two silver dollars handed to him by the other party:

"Thank you, Director Liu. On December 5th, I arrived at the police station entrance on time to report for duty."

"When the battle comes, I'll be right by your side."

Liu Hui waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead."

This time, the county magistrate and the Song family even invited the master of Hongyun Martial Arts School to help.

In addition, members of the Black Dragon Gang will also be there.

"And the firearms and explosives we brought should be fine."

Is he the owner of Hongyun Martial Arts School?

This is the most famous martial arts school in Anlan County. Will I be able to witness him in action...?

But can a martial artist truly defeat a monster single-handedly?!

Li Tianxing suppressed his thoughts and left the police station.

He stroked the silver dollar he had just received from Liu Hui.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart:

"This Liu Hui is really rich; he just casually gave me two silver dollars."

After learning martial arts, you really become extraordinary...

Speaking of which, I really have to thank Manager Chen.

He was the one who introduced me to the field.

I haven't seen him for two days, so I'll buy some things and go visit this little old man.

"I'll also show him what I've got. I always had a feeling this Manager Chen isn't as simple as he seems..."

……

Boguzhai.

Li Tianxing was carrying a large bluefish weighing eight or nine pounds that he had bought from the fish market.

They appeared before Manager Chen.

"Uncle Chen, come and try the big bluefish I caught today!"

"Just pulled from the water, so fresh!"

Li Tianxing said shamelessly.

Manager Chen was fiddling with the abacus, and he slightly raised his eyelids:

"Now you know how difficult it is to practice martial arts!"

"Now you can focus on fishing properly?"

Li Tianxing did not answer directly, but instead said:

"I'll go make you some fish soup first, and we can talk after you've settled the bill."

"Yes, it's in the backyard. You can go there first."

As an elderly man living alone, Manager Chen now has someone to chat with.

He naturally wouldn't refuse Li Tianxing's kindness.

……

Half an hour later, Manager Chen arrived at the backyard.

Seeing that Li Tianxing had already cooked the fish soup, he placed it on the stone table.

The fish soup was rich, white, and steaming hot.

Li Tianxing stood under the willow tree in the courtyard.

He was assuming the stance for the Chopping Palm technique...

Manager Chen sat on the stone chair and took a sip of soup.

Then he squinted and carefully examined Li Tianxing:

"Kid, did you go to a martial arts school and ask a master to teach you?"

Seeing that Li Tianxing's posture was very standard, Manager Chen then asked a question.

Li Tianxing exhaled a breath of stale air, dissipating his energy.

He naturally sat down opposite Manager Chen, picked up his fish soup, and took a sip:

"No, I figured it out myself..."

Manager Chen put down the bowl in his hand, and without paying attention to the scalding hot fish soup in his mouth, he swallowed it directly into his stomach:

"You really didn't have a master! You figured it all out on your own?"

"Uncle Chen, I would like to ask my master to teach me step by step."

But do you think... I have that financial means?

Upon hearing this, Manager Chen quietly stood up:

"Tianxing, give me a palm strike, and I'll test your palm strength."

"Huh? Uncle Chen, you..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Li Tianxing's eyes.

From what Uncle Chen was saying, was he going to give me guidance?

Without further hesitation, he slapped Manager Chen with his palm.

But just to be on the safe side, he still held back a bit of his strength...

Manager Chen stretched out his hand; his aged palms resembled tree bark.

"boom--"

The two men clasped their hands together!

Li Tianxing felt the force of the other party and suddenly his eyes widened.

He hadn't expected Manager Chen to be like an old tree with deep roots.

His body didn't sway at all!

What surprised Li Tianxing even more was...

Manager Chen's strength completely canceled out his own!

This means that Manager Chen has complete control over his own abilities...

Li Tianxing did not want to give up this opportunity to test the waters.

He gritted his teeth and poured all his strength into his right hand as he struck out!

Manager Chen sensed that Li Tianxing's power had increased.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Good lad, you've actually mastered the basics of the Pine-Splitting Palm technique in just a few days."

Your comprehension is truly phenomenal!

No... it's not just about mastering the Splitting Pine Palm technique.

"You fucking mastered skin forging!"

Manager Chen suddenly exerted his strength!

Li Tianxing felt his body tremble, and his skin turned bronze. He instinctively activated his defense!

"Stop, you've reached your limit..."

A hint of appreciation flickered in Manager Chen's eyes.

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Chen."

Li Tianxing withdrew his hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Manager Chen.

Manager Chen also sat down, picked up the fish soup, and began to drink it in large gulps.

But Li Tianxing noticed that the hand that Manager Chen had just clashed with was the same hand he had just used.

He was even trembling slightly...

"Uncle Chen? What's going on here?"

Li Tianxing asked with concern.

Logically speaking, Manager Chen should have been able to easily block his attack.

Their physical strength shouldn't be that weak...

Manager Chen shook his head indifferently:

"It's nothing, just an old injury."

Didn't you ask me before... if I knew kung fu?

Now I can answer you, yes.

But now...

"My martial arts skills are almost completely gone!"

Li Tianxing opened his mouth, wanting to say something to comfort him.

But I don't know how to begin...

He could only change the subject:

"With Uncle Chen's skills, even if only one in ten survives, he still possesses this kind of power."

How strong must you have been at your peak?!
