I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

"Damn, this kid's got some martial arts skills. Where did this outsider come from? I've never heard of him in Sai Wan before!"

"What are you afraid of? There are still five of us. Do you think we can be surrounded by this bastard alone?"

As the five youths spoke, they began to surround Li Chang'an in a fan shape, pressing him closer and closer.

Li Chang'an naturally wouldn't let them surround him, thus reducing his opportunities to maneuver and maneuver.

He immediately stepped forward, his body moving like a snake slithering along the ground, instantly circling to the side of the young man on the far left, not giving him a chance to surround him.

The man swung his staff horizontally, but Li Chang'an flipped his wrist and used the Serpent Lock Staff technique, with the staffs coiling like snakes, locking and twisting to trap the opponent's staff in mid-air.

Before he could break free, Li Chang'an flicked the end of his staff, using the "Snake Tail" technique, and slammed it hard into the joint of his wrist. The young man cried out in pain, the staff slipped from his hand, and he was jolted backward.

Li Chang'an seized the opportunity and kicked the other man hard in the groin, ensuring he couldn't get up again.

Upon seeing this, the two men on the right simultaneously swung their sticks and struck. Li Chang'an lowered his sticks and crouched down like a snake lying on the ground.

The two sticks wrap around the opponent's sticks downwards, locking the opponent's fingers that grip the sticks.

The two men felt a sharp pain in their fingertips, and their grip suddenly gave way. Li Chang'an took advantage of the situation and thrust upwards, using the "Snake Raising its Head" technique. The tips of both sticks simultaneously slammed into the tendons of the two men's shoulders and necks. The two men's shoulders went numb, and their arms lost their strength and fell limply, leaving them with no power to swing the sticks.

Realizing that his strength was waning, Li Chang'an decided not to entangle with the remaining people. He wanted to relentlessly pursue the bandits and make an example of them!

Huhu——

The stick, striking six times per second, danced with afterimages and powerful movements.

The double sticks lashed out like green snakes, striking the two men's faces repeatedly from left and right, turning their heads into swollen swollen faces in an instant.

[Young man, this is your first time using martial arts in actual combat against villains. Your understanding of the Snake Style Fist has become more comprehensive and profound.]

[Snake Fist Skill Experience +10 (38/100)]

[Young man, you punish evildoers and uphold justice; your innate Qi increases by 0.05.]

The last two people who were still standing were finally terrified by Li Chang'an.

They hurriedly got up, helped Fei Zai Dong, who was still covering his eyes and twitching in his groin, and were about to leave.

Seeing this, Li Chang'an snorted coldly and kicked away the two guys in front of him whose heads had been whipped into a pulp.

After leaving the food stall owner some Hong Kong dollars as payment for the food and compensation for the tables and chairs, he pulled the stunned Yuen Hiu-tong away from this troublesome place.

At this moment, no one dared to speak to Li Chang'an, for fear of getting into trouble. But the little boy hiding in his mother's arms watched Li Chang'an's departing figure, his eyes shining with the light of idol worship.

"What a handsome older brother...!"

……

……

Ruan Xiaotang was still immersed in the thrilling scene just now. At this moment, she was pulled by Li Chang'an's big hand, and her feet followed instinctively.

The evening breeze from Victoria Harbour carried a damp scent as it brushed past her ears, jolting the girl awake.

She pressed her hand to her wildly pounding heart, gazed at Li Chang'an's tall, straight back, and whispered with delight:

"Brother Chang'an, I used to think all the kung fu in TV dramas was just acting, I never knew you actually knew it!"

"That's so stylish, so cool... Can you teach me?"

Li Chang'an didn't respond. He pulled her along and led her into the crisscrossing alleys of tenement buildings in Shek Tong Tsui before letting go of her hand. He then leaned against the wall and gasped.

Seeing this, Ruan Xiaotang forgot about her desire to become an apprentice and hurriedly stepped forward to ask nervously:

"What's wrong, Brother Chang'an?"

Ruan Xiaotang reached out and gently lifted Li Chang'an's shirt. By the light of the flashlight, she saw several purplish-blue marks of varying depths on his back.

Clearly, even though Li Chang'an's agility attribute reached 0.7, he couldn't possibly dodge all of the attacks from eight people simultaneously, and he would inevitably get hit a few times.

The pain was suppressed by the adrenaline during the fight, but now that the fight is over and I've relaxed, the pain has suddenly surged up.

Ruan Xiaotang's moist almond-shaped eyes immediately darkened, filled with heartache.

She reached out her cold little hand and gently touched the wound, causing Li Chang'an to hiss.

"Brother Chang'an, I have some liniment and liniment at home, they're very effective, come back with me quickly."

Without saying a word, Ruan Xiaotang reached out to support him and carried him on her back.

Li Chang'an shook his head, his gaze lowered slightly as he looked at the panel of martial arts figures that appeared before him:

[A江湖人: Li Chang'an]

Age: 18

[Qi and Blood: 0.54]

[Mental State: 0.7]

[Stamina: 0.57]

[Agility: 0.7]

Skill: Low-grade skill "Snake Fist (Beginner 33/100)"

Inferior skill: Eagle Claw Grappling Hand (Beginner 0/100, Learning Requirements: Health 0.7, Mind 0.7, Strength 0.8, Agility 0.6, Not up to standard)

Armor and weapons: None

[Jianghu Path: Not yet unlocked (requires two attributes to break through to 1.0)]

【Title: Novice in the Martial World (No special effects)】

[Allocable Primordial Qi: 0.1]

With a single thought, all of his primordial Qi was injected: [Qi and Blood 0.54 → 0.64]

A surge of heat instantly coursed through Li Chang'an's body, relieving his fatigue. He felt a surge of energy coursing through his body, and the burning pain in his back was significantly reduced.

Li Chang'an regained his mobility and straightened up, no longer needing Ruan Xiaotang's support.

"Xiao Tang, I'm fine. I'll just put on some medicine when I get home and get some sleep. Don't tell Aunt Shen about tonight, so she won't worry."

Ruan Xiaotang shook her head, her tone somewhat stubborn:

"No, I saw it all clearly. You were so badly injured, how could you be alright? Besides, how could you have applied the ointment to your back by yourself?"

"Besides, Brother Chang'an, you got injured while saving someone. I'm not as capable as you to help others, but I can at least help you treat your wounds."

Ruan Xiaotang pouted slightly, insisting with a mix of assertiveness and softness:

"Don't you believe me, Brother Chang'an?"

I'm very good at taking care of people; I've always been the one looking after my mom, so this little thing won't be a problem.

Li Chang'an couldn't persuade her otherwise, and in the end, he followed Ruan Xiaotang back to Aunt Shen's house.

"Chang'an, you've arrived. Let me make you some tea."

Upon hearing the sound of someone entering, Shen Daining slowly got up and, supporting herself against the wall, walked out of the bedroom.

"No need, Aunt Shen..."

Li Chang'an subconsciously put his arm behind his back to prevent Shen Daining from seeing the marks on his arm from the stick.

Ruan Xiaotang quickly stepped forward to cover for her, supporting her mother's frail waist and gently escorting her back into the house.

"Mom, Chang'an is here to tutor me. I'll take care of him. Why are you being so polite with him?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Daining coughed lightly, a slight blush appearing on her pale face.

"You've bothered Chang'an again..."

Ruan Xiaotang stuck out her tongue and quickly ran back to push Li Chang'an into her bedroom.

Shen Daining looked at the two of them helplessly and said softly:

"Chang'an, you've really worked hard. If Xiaotang misbehaves, just discipline her. That child is very naughty."

"Okay, Aunt Shen..."

"You big idiot!"

Ruan Xiaotang blushed and called out, then closed the door to prevent Shen Daining from saying anything embarrassing to Li Chang'an.
