Chapter 28: Four Stages of Martial Arts

Fang Yue didn't dare to imagine it, after all, this somewhat overturned the inherent concept in his mind.

But then he thought about it, and in his mind, those civil officials were more noble than military officials.

These were all concepts brought from his previous life, and in this world, he had just been on a long journey and had only visited the county town.

He was simply a person who had never seen the world.

Therefore, he really didn't know which one was higher between the civil and military imperial examinations in this world, and between civil and military officials.

"Of course, the military examination has more prospects, and the military officials are more noble and more powerful." Fang Hu said in a positive tone.

This is common sense that almost everyone in the county knows.

In remote villages like Daliushu Village, farmers only know to face the loess and back to the sky, and they call those wearing silk and satin "master". As for which master is powerful and which master is not powerful, they can't tell.

"Why do you want to ask?"

"That's because when a warrior practices martial arts, his great power belongs to himself. Strength training, skin grinding, bone forging, and marrow changing are the four levels of martial arts."

"Strength training, integrating the strength of the whole body into a whole force, even the worst cultivator has a thousand pounds of strength. When the skin is polished, the skin is like copper and it is difficult to be injured by swords. With these two points alone, if you wear armor, you can defeat thousands of people."

"And if you go through bone forging and marrow changing, it will be even more difficult to defeat ten thousand people."

"And all those who can pass the martial arts examination, the worst is also bone forging. How can a military officer who masters such power not be more noble than a civil official!"

After Fang Hu finished speaking, he picked up the tea bowl and blew the water slightly, and drank it.

It's so!

Fang Yue understood in an instant that since martial artists in this world can master power through practice, great power belongs to themselves.

Every powerful martial artist can repel thousands of troops.

Then the status of civil officials naturally cannot shake the status of military officials, and it is understandable that the status of military officials is higher and more noble.

But what surprised Fang Yue was that in his previous life, he knew that Master Liu's family had passed the imperial examination and became the largest landlord.

Passing the imperial examination could change one's fate, but he had no idea that practicing martial arts could also change one's fate.

Now, through Fang Hu's narration and Master Liu's gift-giving, he had a complete answer in his heart.

"Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts."

Fang Yue was certain in his heart, and he was more determined to continue on the path of practicing martial arts.

"Okay, you go back now. Tomorrow is still the same time. Don't forget." Fang Hu waved his hand and sent Fang Yue out.

Fang Yue hurriedly bowed and said goodbye. Just as he turned around, Fang Hu's voice rang again.

"Oh, by the way, let Ergou bring you a few pounds of tiger meat. When you go back and pass by Widow Yu's house, give it to Zhang Shu."

As soon as she arrived at Daliushu Village, Zhang Shu was arranged to live in Widow Yu's house.

After all, Fang Hu's family only had him and his son, both men, and it was inconvenient for Zhang Shu, a woman, to live in his house.

On the contrary, it was convenient for Widow Yu to let Zhang Shu live there for a while, as she and her daughter were the only ones who depended on each other.

Widow Yu was naturally very willing, after all, if Zhang Shu lived in her house, Fang Hu would have to pay for their food.

"Got it, Master."

Fang Yue went out, took the tiger meat handed over by Er Gou, and then left Fang Hu's house.

~~~~~~

Daliushu Village, the center of the village.

In the Liu family compound with blue bricks and gray tiles.

"Grandpa, why did you let the housekeeper send money and cloth to Fang Yue? His family is just mud legs, why do you look up to him!"

Liu Chuanzhi, the young master of the Liu family, dressed in blue silk and looked like a scholar, had a face full of dissatisfaction and contempt.

That time he went to play with Fang Yue, but he was just curious about the country boy.

Later, when he arrived at the ancestral hall, he accidentally broke the sacrificial utensils.

He was the young master of the noble Liu family. The blame for breaking the sacrificial vessel naturally did not fall on him. It could only be this country boy who broke it with his hands and feet.

What does it have to do with the young master of the Liu family who has been studying since childhood and is well-educated and well-mannered!

The other party took the beating for him, but he did not say anything, let alone be grateful. He even felt dislike for the young man in his heart.

"Hmph, what do you know? Remember, don't show this attitude after you go out. Fang Yue is different now. He has entered the White Tiger Fist. Be polite to him in the future."

Old Master Liu warned solemnly in a stern tone.

In fact, he didn't need to give this gift, but that incident happened during the New Year.

He naturally knew in his heart that Fang Yue was beaten for his grandson.

But at that time, Fang Yue was a country mud leg, a descendant of a farmer.

It was a great honor to be beaten for his grandson.

And now, the boy is very lucky.

Or, he was lucky to have the talent to learn martial arts and was accepted by Fang Hu.

Although he might not be able to pass the martial arts exam in the future.

But the destructive power of a martial artist should not be underestimated.

If the other party holds a grudge in his heart, how can his family live in peace in Daliushu Village.

So, he sent some gifts, showed goodwill, and let this matter go.

"Grandpa, I know, I will visit him in two days and apologize to him." Liu Chuanzhi also put away his arrogance at this time.

He is not a countryman who knows nothing. He is very clear about the status of martial artists.

The White Tiger Boxing Gym is also a top-ranked military officer in Xiahe County.

In Xiahe County, there are White Tiger Fist disciples in both the county government and the city guards.

The power of White Tiger Fist is not small, not to mention that the martial artist himself possesses tyrannical power. There are ordinary servants in his Liu family compound, but they cannot stop the opponent.

Therefore, although I feel very unhappy.

Why is he from such a good family background, but his martial arts qualifications are only average and inferior, and he has never had the chance to become a disciple until now.

But the other party, the son of a small farmer, caught Fang Hu's eyes and became a disciple of White Tiger Fist.

This is really disappointing!

"Well, that's the best. If you think so, our Liu family will have a successor in the future!" Mrs. Liu said happily with a smile.

Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Now that Fang Yue has a backer, he has gained power.

Then it would be wise for them to bow their heads and make good friends with each other.

His grandson is now able to let go of his arrogance and grudges, let go of his face, apologize to the other party, and resolve the previous dispute.

This kind of magnanimity is enough to inherit the Liu family's family business!

~~~~~~

But said the other side.

"Hey, why is your roof leaking, and this table, why is it so dark, and here?"

At Widow Yu's house, Zhang Shu pinched her nose, pointed at everything in the house, and couldn't help but frown.

"Miss Zhang, I'm really sorry for the conditions at home. I'll take care of these right away." Widow Yu said with an apologetic smile.
