Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

[Desire: Become Chen You's woman, and be a considerate and capable wife. (Completion rewards 200 Desire Points!)]

Chen You immediately became excited.

My master's wife actually wants to become my woman!

"Or, I could just... give my master's wife to her right now..."

A wicked thought suddenly arose in Chen You's mind.

But soon, he was shocked by his own actions.

"Pah! Pah! Pah! Chen You, this is your master's wife! How can you have such thoughts?"

"But then again, since Master's wife is like this on her own initiative, wouldn't it be better for me to indulge her? It's a good deed, isn't it?"

Perhaps sensing Chen You's possessive gaze, Xu Qiuxue hurriedly got up, stuffed the mended clothes into Chen You's arms, and said anxiously, "It's mended, you should get some rest."

After saying that, he quickly left.

"Did I scare your master's wife just now?"

Chen You sighed inwardly.

What kind of situation is this?

He thought that if he took the initiative, he might be able to win over his master's wife, since she had already developed such desires.

But clearly, this matter is not that simple!

If the other party has reservations, they won't accept him so easily!

"It seems I'll have to gradually dispel her concerns!"

…………

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Chen You packed the tricolor fish into a sturdy burlap sack, slung it over his shoulder, and headed toward the Yan Yang Martial Arts School.

This precious fish is extremely resilient; it still thrashes around in the sack from time to time and hasn't died yet.

When we arrived at the street where the martial arts school was located, the street was already bustling with people, and the shouts of vendors rose and fell.

Many martial arts students dressed in training uniforms were walking in groups of three or five towards the gate.

At this moment, the martial arts school doors were wide open. In order not to attract attention, Chen You simply lowered his head and silently followed a group of disciples inside.

"Hey, who are you? Stop right there!"

As soon as he entered, a disciple of the Stone Lock Sect who was standing guard frowned, reached out to stop Chen You, and glanced warily at the sack on his body.

"Senior brother, I'm here to see Miss Yang Zhenzhen. I want to enroll in the martial arts school to learn martial arts," Chen You stopped and explained politely.

The disciple looked Chen You up and down, noticing that although he was dressed simply, his eyes were bright. He said, "Alright, you wait here for me. I'll go to the backyard to inform them." With that, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

Chen You responded and stood by the big tree in the front yard, taking the opportunity to look around the front yard of the Yan Yang Martial Arts Hall.

In the spacious courtyard with its blue bricks, dozens of male and female disciples were doing their morning exercises, creating a lively and bustling scene.

On the left, a row of male disciples, shirtless, were pushing the heavy stone lock again and again amidst the shouts of their senior brothers, their sweat glistening in the morning light!

On the right, several valiant female disciples, wielding wooden swords, practiced thrusting with agile movements, the blades slicing through the air with a "whoosh" sound.

In the center of the courtyard, several pairs of disciples were sparring with each other, the sounds of their fists and feet clashing were deep and powerful, full of vitality.

Seeing this scene, Chen You couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

A moment later, the disciple who had gone to report returned and waved to Chen You, saying, "I'm sorry, our sect leader isn't feeling well lately and doesn't want to take on any more disciples. You may leave."

"What?" Chen You was stunned.

He was actually kicked out, which was completely different from his plan!

"Senior brother, could you please inform them again that I have a three-colored fish and sincerely wish to join your martial arts school?" Chen You hurriedly said.

"Why are you so long-winded? I said I don't see guests, and that's final. Get out of here..." The disciple waved him away impatiently.

"Senior brother, tricolor fish are very valuable, especially when they're alive..."

"My senior sister said she doesn't receive visitors!"

"Senior brother, let's think about it again!"

Seeing that the other party was about to kick him out, Chen You had no choice but to grit his teeth, pull out a handful of silver coins from his pocket, and without even counting them, stuff them directly into the other party's hand: "Thank you for your trouble..."

"This..." Touching the heavy silver coins in his hand, the disciple hesitated for a moment, then put the money away and said, "Alright, seeing your sincerity, I can help you ask, but whether it will work, I can't guarantee!"

"Thank you, senior brother. Please also tell my senior sister that I have another important message to share."

"Alright!" After receiving the money, the disciple's attitude became much friendlier, and he turned around and walked back to the backyard.

A moment later, footsteps approached, and a handsome man with a folding fan walked towards Chen You, waving the fan.

The man sized Chen You up and down, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Was it you who said you had a tricolor fish?"

Chen You bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Senior Brother."

"Well, come with me. My name is Gao Chengyang. You actually managed to catch a treasure fish, your fishing skills are pretty good!" Gao Chengyang said slowly.

"I was just lucky!"

"Kid, if you're capable, you're capable. There's no need to be modest. You should know that this kind of precious fish can't be caught without certain fishing skills!" Gao Chengyang patted Chen You on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I have high hopes for you. I just told Senior Sister Yang Zhenzhen that she'll take you on as a student."

"Really? Thank you so much, Senior Brother Gao!" Chen You was overjoyed.

"However, don't be too happy yet. Our master hasn't been feeling well lately, and Senior Sister Yang Zhenzhen is his only daughter, so she's also in a bad mood right now. You can leave after you've said a few words. I'll teach you kung fu."

Chen You nodded repeatedly, thinking to himself that it was rare to meet someone as kind-hearted as Gao Chengyang in this chaotic world.

A moment later, Chen You followed Gao Chengyang to the backyard.

The backyard was much quieter than the front yard. The ground was paved with smooth bluestone, and in the corner were several bronze training dummies, wooden dummy posts, and some stone locks of various sizes.

At this moment, a tall and pretty woman dressed in a tight red outfit stood with her hands behind her back, looking at her five disciples with a frosty expression.

This woman was Yang Zhenzhen, the owner's daughter.

"Look at the boxing you guys are practicing! It's so weak and limp, like you haven't eaten anything!!!"

Yang Zhenzhen's eyebrows furrowed as she paced around the five disciples who had their heads bowed. Her voice was stern, "The Flaming Sun Fist emphasizes fierce power and explosive force, with surging blood and qi! But you're all unsteady on your feet, your punches weak and unsteady. You're not even as good as those newly initiated junior disciples in the front courtyard! If you're still behaving like this in next month's martial arts school exam, you'll all be going to fetch water and chop wood. Don't embarrass yourselves in the courtyard!"

The five disciples were scolded until their faces turned red, and they lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Gao Chengyang lowered his voice and whispered to Chen You, "Senior Sister is giving a lecture, and she's got a bad temper. Let's wait a bit."

Chen You understood and silently stood aside, holding the sack.

A moment later, Yang Zhenzhen finally finished her lecture, waving her hands wearily and saying coldly, "Alright, all of you go down and practice on your own. Don't get in the way!"

The five disciples, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, quickly bowed and withdrew.

"Senior sister, this young man said he caught a tricolor fish and brought it to present to you." Gao Chengyang stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said with a smile.

"Hmm." Yang Zhenzhen turned around, her gaze falling on Chen You, her eyes expressionless yet conveying a sense of authority: "You want to join my Yan Yang Martial Arts Academy for training?"

"Yes, please grant my request, Miss Yang," Chen You replied honestly, clutching the sack.

"A mere tricolor fish, though valuable, is worth only about thirty taels of silver on the market right now. And the tuition for training at my martial arts school is ten taels a month, which is enough to cover three months' tuition."

Yang Zhenzhen continued coldly, "Fine, I'm in a bad mood today and didn't want to take on any disciples. But since Junior Brother Gao Chengyang recommended you, I'll accept you. However, let me make this clear: if you can't even sense your own qi and blood within three months and don't achieve anything significant in your cultivation, you'll have to leave on your own. Martial arts schools don't support idlers. If you want to stay here, you'll have to continue paying!"

"Disciple understands!" Chen You was overjoyed and quickly replied.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Gao Chengyang tactfully cupped his hands to Yang Zhenzhen before turning and leaving the backyard.

After Gao Chengyang left, Yang Zhenzhen pointed to the open space on the ground and said to Chen You, "Put the fish there. Alright, now I will teach you the introductory technique of my martial arts school, called the 'Three Yang Fist Technique.' This fist technique is the foundation of our school, aiming to mobilize the body's qi and blood through fist techniques and guide qi into the body."

Its core lies in the eight characters: "Three Yangs gather at the top, Qi flows throughout the body." During practice, a special breathing method must be used to unify the body's strength into a single force. When throwing a punch, visualize the sun shining brightly overhead, using intention to guide the Qi, allowing the Qi and blood to rise from the Dantian (lower abdomen), pass through the spinal cord, and flow through both arms, like the rising sun. Each punch should possess a scorching, explosive force. At a high level, the punch's force can be so intense that it can even directly burn the enemy's skin. Watch closely, I will only demonstrate once!

After saying that, Yang Zhenzhen took a deep breath and assumed the starting stance for her boxing technique.

But at that moment, a violent coughing sound suddenly came from inside the room.

"Dad's awake!!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yang Zhenzhen's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly rushed into the house.

Chen You quickly followed, intending to tell him about the century-old wild ginseng.
