As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Youthful Vigor
In the evening, a rough knocking sound woke Jiang Ming up, and there were unpleasant curses outside the room.
“There’s really trouble everywhere I go,” Jiang Ming muttered to himself, unsurprised.
However, this was also Jiang Ming’s biggest motivation to learn martial arts. Even if he were to hide, he could not avoid all troubles. Therefore, he could only make himself stronger and get rid of all troubles so that he could continue to hide, drink tea, and watch the snow fall.
He got up and went outside the house. He saw Fang Lie and the others being blocked by six or seven unfamiliar men.
“New brats, who let you stay here?”
A fierce-looking red-faced man stepped on the stone bench and put on a fierce posture. He said fiercely, “Clean up the courtyard and the toilets, then wash our clothes. Don’t even think about sleeping tonight if you can’t finish those chores!”
Here it was, the expected bullying. Jiang Ming chuckled in his heart.
“Alright, alright, we’ll go now!” the two people who came with Jiang Ming quickly bowed.
Huang Xiaoying was silent, but Fang Lie said in neither a humble nor haughty manner, “I’m not going. This isn’t my job.”
“Hey, kid, you’ve got guts, haven’t you? ” A thin, tanned young man raised his eyebrows and was about to punch him.
Jiang Ming took a step forward and said lightly, “We’re all in the same courtyard now; who can be nobler than the other? You came here earlier than us and still live in this shabby place. I’m afraid your status in the village is at the bottom, right?”
Jiang Ming had just arrived and did not want to be too high-profile, but he knew that he could not act coy at this time. Once he acted coy, this group of people would definitely keep looking for trouble.
His wave of ridicule instantly enraged the few people. The thin, tanned young man, who was about to attack, directly rushed towards him with large strides. “B*stard, what did you say?”
Before he could finish his sentence, a fist landed in front of his face with a strong wind.
Bang! The thin, tanned young man flew out and crashed onto the ground, blood flowing from his nose.
You… You dare hit me?” the thin, tanned young man did not expect Jiang Ming to dare hit him, so he took a solid punch.
As if he had suffered great humiliation, he struggled to get up and shouted, “I’ll beat you to death!”
Jiang Ming did not say a word. He rushed up and kicked him over. He sat on him, raised his fist, and beat him up.
Even though the thin, tanned young man had practiced martial arts, he had no room to fight back after being punched by Jiang Ming.
After a few punches, the face of the thin, tanned young man swelled up. His head was bleeding, and he let out a scream.
“Damn it, why did they start fighting?”
The red-faced man was also shocked. He did not expect the newcomers to be so stupid. This was Tiger Hunting Village. He did not even bother to pose. He quickly jumped down from the stone bench and wanted to rush forward to pull Jiang Ming away.
A broom suddenly came from behind his head. The red-faced man heard the movement and wanted to turn around, but he was hit on the head by the broom.
Thump! With a muffled sound, the man was sent flying and fell flat on his face, seeing stars.
Fang Lie threw down the broom and stepped on his back. He squatted down and slapped the man’s head a dozen times. Then, he said calmly, “I only want to learn martial arts in Tiger Hunting Village. It’s wrong of you to ask me to sweep the floor!”
The red-faced man’s head was buzzing. Were the newcomers these days all crazy?
“I was beaten up like this when I first came here. Why am I getting a beating now?” the red-faced man’s face was on the ground, and his tears seemed to have soaked the ground.
Jiang Ming hit the thin, tanned young man until he cried and begged for mercy before he stopped. He looked around with a slightly crazy look and sneered, “What? Do you still want me to sweep the floor?”
“It’s a misunderstanding. It’s a misunderstanding!” the others were so scared that they retreated.
They were not fools. As soon as they saw Jiang Ming holding on to a man, they knew he was really ruthless. Everyone was just here to make a living. No one wanted to provoke such a crazy person.
“Let them go!” someone shouted. “If you don’t let them go, I’ll call for help.”
“Sure, call the head hunter over. At most, we’ll be kicked out of Tiger Hunting Village together,” Jiang Ming said indifferently like a ruffian.
“You coward!” The few of them immediately lost their temper.
They were assigned to this courtyard because they had no background. It was not easy for them to join the Tiger Hunting Village, so they were not willing to be kicked out for fighting.
And Jiang Ming also saw this, so he attacked without any scruples. But he did not expect that Fang Lie, who looked peaceful, would fight without any sloppiness.
“Are you convinced? You b*stard!” Jiang Ming saw that this group of people was shocked, so he patted the head of the thin, tanned young man and laughed.
“I’m convinced, I’m convinced. Please let me go!” the thin, tanned young man quickly cried and begged.
“If you don’t have the strength, then don’t act all high and mighty, understand?” Jiang Ming stood up and pulled him up.
Seeing this, Fang Lie also got up from the red-faced man’s body. He looked at Jiang Ming and smiled.
“In the future, we’ll be neighbors, so let’s get to know each other. My name is Jiang Ming, and I used to pick herbs in Peace Town,” Jiang Ming said.
The red-faced man touched his head and said, “My name is Wang Dong. My family owns a butcher shop in the west of the city. My father asked me to learn some things to protect myself. Actually, we’ve only been here for a few days.
“My name is Zhao Xiaoliu. I’ve been doing odd jobs in the martial arts school for several years, and my money has always been deducted. I heard that I could eat my fill at Tiger Hunting Village, so I came here.”
“This kid is not good at other things, but his movement technique is like a monkey’s,” Wang Dong came up and said.
Jiang Ming laughed. Wang Dong remembered how Zhao Xiaoliu was knocked out by a single punch and stopped talking.
“My father is a teacher,” Fang Lie took the initiative to speak and said seriously, “The Saint in the book said many great truths, which I have always regarded as the truth. Then, one time, I saw on the street that an official had kicked over a hawker’s tofu stall. I wanted to reason with them, but they beat me up. I found that reading could not solve all problems. Thus, I turned to learning martial arts. As it turns out, learning martial arts is still useful.” Fang Lie looked at his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wang Dong’s face immediately darkened.
“I used to be a farmer. Something happened to my family, so I came here to learn some skills,” Huang Xiaoying gathered her courage and whispered.
This time, even Jiang Ming was a little surprised. Huang Xiaoying’s skills in the previous assessment did not seem like what a farmer should have.
However, he did not want to pry into other people’s secrets, so he did not ask any more questions.
In the middle of the night, in a room, Guan Feng was listening to the report of his servant and laughed heartily. “It’s good to be young and full of vigor. This kid is to my liking. ”
* * *
The next morning, at the training ground of Tiger Hunting Village, dozens of newbies who had just arrived were dressed in the same black training clothes. They stood in an orderly manner and waited for the head hunter, Guan Feng, to speak.
In Tiger Hunting Village, other than the village master, who was a first-class martial artist, the strongest person was Guan Feng. He was well-known even in Great Cloud City.
The usual training and lectures were all conducted by Guan Feng.
“Everyone, what is the most important thing in the righteous path of martial arts?”
Guan Feng did not waste any words. He circulated his blood Qi, and his voice was like a great bell, “It’s not the moves, nor is it the strength or speed, but the momentum. The soft-flowing water force, the fierce river force, and the solid ice force are all the same things, but they have different forces and can display different effects. Without control, our skills are useless.”
