#121 - The Imperial Court! The terrifying Six Gates
"Aqi!"
Master Huang shouted in a low voice and rushed over, just in time to catch Gui Jiao Liu, who was about to fall.
This shows that Master Huang's agility is very impressive.
"How are you?"
"Master, I'm fine!"
Gui Jiao Liu said through gritted teeth.
He had just taken a punch from Zhao Zheng with both arms, and now his arms felt completely numb, as if they were broken.
Saying he was fine at this moment was purely a show of strength!
Subsequently.
Gui Jiao Liu looked at Zhao Zheng, his face somewhat angry and also a bit dignified.
This person was Master Huang's eldest disciple, having received the true teachings of Master Huang, his strength was not bad, not much worse than Gui Jiao Liu.
Gui Jiao Liu was not willing to admit defeat easily.
"Senior brother, don't worry! I was just careless just now, not knowing that this kid was pretending to be weak. I won't be like that again. Moreover, my skills are all in my legs, even if I don't use my hands, I can still take care of him!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Gui Jiao Liu suddenly leaped up, his whole body rising into the air, pouncing towards Zhao Zheng.
His feet kicked out countless shadows in mid-air, the power was very astonishing.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng just smiled slightly, standing in place, without even moving.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gui Jiao Liu kicked three times in a row, all hitting Zhao Zheng's body.
However, Zhao Zheng didn't even move.
On the contrary, Gui Jiao Liu was shaken back repeatedly.
"Iron Shirt?"
The guy was shocked!
Gui Jiao Liu was quite familiar with Iron Shirt, there was an Iron Shirt master in the city.
However, even Yan Zhendong wouldn't dare to take his chain of kicks like that!
"What kind of monster are you?"
Gui Jiao Liu couldn't help but say.
A Kuan and Master Huang next to him looked at Zhao Zheng, their faces also full of shock and solemnity.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhao Zheng smiled: "Master Liu, you are not my opponent, you should just admit defeat!"
Hearing this.
Gui Jiao Liu was very angry and was about to grit his teeth and fight again, but Master Huang stopped him.
"Aqi, stop!"
Gui Jiao Liu was stunned and couldn't help but say: "Master..."
"You are not his opponent," Master Huang said, "Retreat!"
Gui Jiao Liu looked unwilling, but since his master had already spoken, he couldn't disobey, so he prepared to retreat.
"Wait!"
Zhao Zheng suddenly spoke, saying: "That... Master Liu, can you admit defeat before you leave?"
He knew these words were not pleasant to hear, but for the sake of martial arts points, he had to say them.
As for offending people...
Anyway, he would be leaving this city tonight, so he didn't care.
Sure enough.
As soon as he heard this, Gui Jiao Liu immediately exploded.
He had already taken the initiative to step down, which was equivalent to admitting defeat.
That kid actually wanted him to admit defeat?
This was simply humiliating!
"Boy, you are going too far!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Gui Jiao Liu charged towards Zhao Zheng again.
Zhao Zheng sighed!
He had expected this result.
The next moment!
He suddenly struck out a palm in the air!
Iron Sand Palm!
"Boom!"
The air was blasted apart.
In the void, there was a clear shock wave fluctuation, which eventually formed a hurricane, blowing towards Gui Jiao Liu.
Gui Jiao Liu, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped!
He stood in the middle of the courtyard, stared at Zhao Zheng for a few moments, and finally said very simply: "I admit defeat!"
After saying this.
Gui Jiao Liu turned around and retreated to the edge.
Zhao Zheng didn't stop him, because he saw the points notification.
Gui Jiao Liu had contributed more than two hundred martial arts points to him.
"Master, this kid is a monster, you have to be careful," Gui Jiao Liu came to Master Huang's side and said in a low voice.
Master Huang nodded, looking at Zhao Zheng with a solemn gaze: "So young, yet he can cultivate Iron Sand Palm and Iron Shirt to this level, he must be a martial arts genius!"
"He's just impolite and doesn't know how to respect people," Gui Jiao Liu complained.
Master Huang shook his head and said: "Aqi, he has shown mercy to you three times already. He is such a young master, it is normal to be a bit arrogant, you should indeed take the initiative to admit defeat when you retreat."
Gui Jiao Liu wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what his master said was right.
In the first exchange, if the opponent had used Iron Sand Palm, even if he survived, his hands would definitely not be saved.
The second time, his chain of kicks, the opponent just used Iron Shirt to take it head-on, without counterattacking, this was the second time he showed mercy.
The third time, he even released Iron Sand Palm into the air, letting Gui Jiao Liu see the terrifying palm power...
So, it was indeed three times of showing mercy.
"Master, then do you have confidence?"
The eldest disciple, A Kuan, asked from the side.
Master Huang smiled, looking at Zhao Zheng, his eyes full of appreciation: "It's rare to have such a master, let's give it a try!"
Subsequently.
Master Huang walked into the courtyard and stood in front of Zhao Zheng, cupping his hands and asking:
"Young brother, may I ask what your name is?"
Zhao Zheng also cupped his hands and said: "My surname is Song, the name is not important."
The reason why he didn't reveal his name, but said his surname was Song, was also to leave false information for those transcendents, to confuse the public.
This was a plan that had been discussed with Song Haitang long ago.
"Brother Song, you are so young, yet you have such amazing attainments in martial arts, may I ask who your teacher is?" Master Huang asked.
He was really curious, what kind of powerful figure could teach such an excellent disciple.
Zhao Zheng smiled and said: "I have no sect, no school, and no famous teacher to guide me."
Although he was telling the truth.
However, the people present didn't quite believe it.
To be able to practice martial arts to this level without anyone's guidance?
How is that possible?
Master Huang thought that Zhao Zheng didn't want to reveal his master's sect and deliberately used such an excuse to prevaricate, so he cupped his hands and said:
"Since that's the case, then, please!"
"Please!"
Zhao Zheng also cupped his hands, his face becoming serious.
According to the information provided by Lao Chu, Master Huang is proficient in many martial arts, among which Tiger Crane Double Form Fist has reached a superb level.
In addition, Master Huang also created a move called Shadowless Kick, which is very powerful.
The opponent is far from being as simple as Peak Ming Jin, he has almost touched the edge of Dark Jin!
With Master Huang's talent, as long as he is given a Nei Jia Cultivation Method, he can step into the realm of Dark Jin at any time.
To deal with such a master, Zhao Zheng naturally had to be cautious.
The next moment.
The two moved at the same time, colliding with each other.
"Boom!"
Zhao Zheng struck out with Iron Sand Palm, and Master Huang struck out with Tiger Form Fist.
The tiger claws and Iron Sand Palm collided, making an astonishing sound.
The two also retreated.
Feeling the stinging pain coming from the palm of his hand, Zhao Zheng was a little surprised.
This Master Huang is indeed not simple!
"Hoo!"
Zhao Zheng took a deep breath, maximized the power of Iron Shirt, and then rushed towards Master Huang.
He intended to use the method of defeating Yan Zhendong to defeat Master Huang.
That is, after capturing Master Huang, engage in a brawl!!
With his Iron Body Skill, he'll definitely have a huge advantage in a fistfight.
Master Huang, being the martial arts talent he is, immediately understood Zhao Zheng's plan when he saw him rapidly approaching.
"Shadowless Kick!"
Master Huang suddenly shouted, his entire body leaping into the air, feet dancing wildly, approaching Zhao Zheng rapidly in a way that defied the laws of physics.
His footwork was even faster, far surpassing Ghost Foot Liu, and his power was even more astonishing.
Even before he got close, Zhao Zheng felt a sense of pressure.
"Coming right up!!"
Zhao Zheng didn't dodge; he gathered strength throughout his body, his muscles tensing instantly, his bones resonating.
It even resembled the sound of a dragon's roar.
This was the origin of the "Dragon's Roar Iron Body Skill."
Subsequently.
He faced Master Huang's Shadowless Kick, directly colliding with it.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
Muffled collision sounds immediately rang out.
In that instant, Master Huang kicked Zhao Zheng at least seven or eight times.
And with each kick, Zhao Zheng could clearly feel the pain.
If he allowed Master Huang to continue attacking, he would inevitably break Zhao Zheng's Iron Body Skill!
However.
Zhao Zheng wasn't a wooden dummy, allowing Master Huang to attack without retaliating.
He had been looking for an opportunity!
Finally.
He seized the opportunity, striking out with a palm that landed directly on Master Huang's calf.
"Bang!"
Master Huang's Shadowless Kick was instantly broken, and he quickly retreated, creating distance between himself and Zhao Zheng.
Seeing Zhao Zheng still trying to pounce on him, Master Huang quickly raised his hand:
"Wait!"
Zhao Zheng stopped, looking puzzled: "What's wrong, Master Huang?"
Master Huang rubbed his calf where he had been hit and said, "I concede!"
As soon as these words came out, his disciples were stunned.
"Concede?"
Zhao Zheng was also surprised.
He felt that Master Huang's strength was amazing, and if they continued to fight, he might not be able to break his Iron Body Skill.
The Dragon's Roar Iron Body Skill wasn't invincible either.
Once his defense was broken, he would definitely lose!
After all, his current strength and realm were all raised by Spirit Energy Points.
His true combat ability was far behind someone like Master Huang, who had experienced hundreds of battles.
"Master Huang, are you being modest?" Zhao Zheng asked, frowning.
Master Huang quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I'm serious."
"My Shadowless Kick has never been defeated since its creation; you are the first person to break this move!"
"We are just sparring and exchanging pointers; it's not a fight to the death. Since even my signature skill has been broken, there's no need to continue."
"Young Brother Song, you won this match!"
It must be said that Master Huang truly had the demeanor of a grandmaster.
He took the initiative to concede, simply to help Zhao Zheng.
Because Zhao Zheng was still young and had room to grow in the future, if he suffered a setback from failure and stagnated, it would be a pity for this martial arts talent.
...
[Congratulations! You defeated a Peak Ming Realm martial artist, gaining Martial Arts Competition Points: 1080. Gained Temporary Spirit Energy Points: 540.]
Seeing the notification in his left eye.
Zhao Zheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the Spirit Realm recognizes Master Huang's concession, that's fine!
"Master Huang, you are too kind!"
Zhao Zheng cupped his fist and said, intending to leave.
"Wait!"
Master Huang suddenly called out to Zhao Zheng.
He looked at Zhao Zheng, his eyes full of admiration, and couldn't help but say, "Young Brother Song, it's getting late. Why not have lunch at my humble abode before you leave?"
Zhao Zheng was a little confused by Master Huang's invitation.
He didn't expect Master Huang to be so generous.
He had just conceded, and now he was inviting him to stay for lunch?
The other party was indeed a grandmaster!
Zhao Zheng hesitated for a moment before happily agreeing to stay.
Because he also had many questions to ask Master Huang.
The information given by Old Chu was, after all, collected by predecessors and was not comprehensive.
...
Name: Zhao Shanhe (Zhao Zheng).
Age: 19 years old.
Martial Arts: Dragon's Roar Iron Body Skill (Mastery), Iron Sand Palm (Mastery), Cloud Chasing Step (Mastery).
Current Realm: Peak Ming Realm.
Current Martial Arts Competition Points: 2826.
Available Spirit Energy Points: 981.
These were the Martial Arts Competition Points and Spirit Energy Points that Zhao Zheng had after leaving Baozhi Hall.
His gains from the trip to Baozhi Hall were very great.
In addition to the thousand-plus points contributed by Master Huang, Ghost Foot Liu contributed more than two hundred, and the chief disciple, A Kuan, also exchanged pointers with Zhao Zheng later, also contributing more than two hundred Martial Arts Competition Points, only slightly less than Ghost Foot Liu.
Added together, Zhao Zheng received a full 1500 points of Martial Arts Competition Points.
In addition to this.
He also obtained an important piece of information from Master Huang.
That is, the imperial court has been secretly restricting the spread of Internal Energy Cultivation Methods!
Under the imperial court's ban, very few Internal Energy Cultivation Methods are circulating among the people.
Even those great martial arts sects have received the imperial court's ban, prohibiting the external transmission of Internal Energy Cultivation Methods.
If they don't comply, the imperial court's Six Doors experts will be dispatched to eradicate them!!
According to Master Huang, the Six Doors experts are very terrifying!
There were also experts who disobeyed the imperial court in the past, but they all died silently...
No wonder!
Old Chu said that after the fourth layer of the Spirit Realm appeared for so many years, almost no Transcendent has been able to obtain Internal Energy Cultivation Methods.
Even a talented native martial artist like Master Huang can't access Internal Energy Cultivation Methods.
It turns out that the imperial court is secretly restricting it.
Thinking of this.
Zhao Zheng frowned.
He originally planned to visit those martial arts sects to see if he could obtain Internal Energy Cultivation Methods.
However, since there is an imperial court ban, presumably those great martial arts sects would definitely not dare to teach him Internal Energy Cultivation Methods; going there would only be a waste of time.
Actually, there is another way: directly join a sect!
Then there would be a chance to access Internal Energy Cultivation Methods.
It's just that this method takes too much time.
For example, Shaolin.
If you want to learn Shaolin's Internal Energy Cultivation Methods, you need to first shave your head and become a monk who eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures, then do three years of chores, then three years as a disciple, before you can possibly get the true inheritance.
The rules of other sects are also similar.
Where would Zhao Zheng have so much time?
He can only stay in this world for a month.
"The imperial court..."
Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, his eyes becoming sharp.
The great powers have already entered the country, and the imperial court is still shielding itself, restricting the people!
This is either stupid or evil!
Or rather, the imperial court has indeed been occupied by monsters and doesn't care about the lives of the people at all...
...
Walking on the street.
Zhao Zheng glanced at the time on his pocket watch.
The time at this moment.
Just past two in the afternoon.
Zhao Zheng still had a few hours left.
Zhao Zheng thought for a while and felt that since he was idle anyway, he would continue to find trouble with those martial arts gyms!
