Chapter 44: Chen Ming and Yang Xiong's first martial arts
"Assemble!" Usually the outer and inner disciples are cultivating independently, but on the first day of the first month of the month, all the disciples will be gathered. Around eight o'clock, hundreds of disciples were gathered.
"The fifth major sect in the rivers and lakes, there are only a few hundred disciples......" Chen Ming muttered in a low voice.
"Only disciples who have not left the teacher will have a monthly exam. Those who have already graduated have begun to wander the rivers and lakes, and even work in the industry of Wuhumen. I come back from time to time to learn new martial arts, or take on new sect tasks...... It is also possible that it is to buy cultivation materials. Yang Xiong knew that Chen Ming didn't know, so he explained in a low voice.
Even if there really are only a few hundred disciples, what if there are many small sects that are already on the verge of bankruptcy, and there are only one or two disciples. In order to cultivate this disciple, the head of the sect has to personally go to work to make money in order to buy supplies!
Cultivation materials are not available to all sects, and the Five Tiger Sects can make a lot of money by selling medicinal bath powder to those small sects every year. Upstream in the food chain, the benefits are here.
Thinking of his three elder brothers struggling in several small sects, Yang Xiong was determined to strive for progress.
As for why the three elder brothers still stay in the sect after so hard work, there are no more than two reasons: after deducting martial arts, the three of them do not have other skills at all; even if the days are hard, the money they earn is still a little higher than going to work, the key is to look decent!
"Oh......" Chen Ming nodded, he was not very clear about the affairs of the sect, and it was not strange that he did not know. After all, he spent all his day practicing martial arts and practicing.
It's hard to imagine what it's like to be a twelve-year-old with a child, not playing, but all about learning. After all, his communication is also very lacking, except for a few people in the door, he doesn't even know a few brothers and sisters in the same family......
"Today is the day of the monthly exam again......" At the high platform, Xiao Yan didn't know when he had come here, "The disciples have been cultivating for a month, and now is the time to test whether you work hard...... (1,000 words omitted) ...... So, let's start doing martial arts!"
In fact, he says it once a month. It doesn't make any practical sense, but in the end, it's a sense of existence. Otherwise, a sect doesn't even know what its head looks like, and people will laugh at it when they say it.
"According to the age group and status, the first thing to do is the outer disciple under the age of twelve!" Elder Baihu announced.
Performing martial arts, there are many people who are indeed mighty, but this is a monthly exam, and naturally the fewer people there are, the easier it is to see the problem. After the elder announced, more than a dozen children under the age of twelve came out of the crowd, and this was the current outer disciple of the Five Tiger Sect under the age of twelve.
It is not a martial arts exercise together, but a second screening according to the core martial arts selected, followed by a physical condition measurement, and finally a martial arts exercise. Before and after each sequence, there is an inner disciple who has left the master for testing, and needless to say, the one who chooses to take it must be this martial art.
"Tiger Claw Gong, the number of cultivators is three, this month's assessment, all three of them have a small increase, it's over. After the martial arts exercise, the disciple in charge of the inspection came to Elder Baihu and Xiao Yan to report.
"The tiger is powerful and domineering, the number of cultivators is one, standing still, and there is no promotion. ”
"Tiger tail scissors, the number of cultivators is two, one person makes a small progress, and one person stands still. ”
"The Five Tiger Soul Breaking Sword, the number of cultivators is five, and there is a slight improvement. ”
"Tiger courage breaks the military gun, the number of cultivators is four, and three people have made slight progress, among which Fang Jiaqi has regressed from last month!"
"Those who are standing still should go to the side and explain the reason, and those who are regressing should be further inspected and warned once after confirming that they are correct!" replied the elder.
Fang Jiaqi has no record of regression in front of her, in other words, unless she regresses next month, then the punishment will be deepened. She is already an outer disciple, and the most serious situation is probably to be expelled from the sect.
Many people are not surprised by this, perhaps when they started at the age of six, most of the disciples had a sincere heart to practice martial arts. After five or six years, when people grow up, they can't stand the temptation from the outside, or their interest in martial arts is weak, and various problems will arise. Especially women...... Fang Jiaqi's question came out, and she couldn't understand why an eleven or twelve-year-old girl would chase stars and fall in love.
"Next, the inner disciples under the age of twelve will come out!" A group of disciples went down, and Elder Baihu announced that the next group would come up. There are more inner disciples than those from the outer gate, and there are twenty-one of them.
When he really put on a posture and began to perform martial arts, Chen Ming saw the difference between the inner and outer doors. Let's just say that the twenty-one disciples in front of him, not to mention the part under the age of eight, the part over eight years old, the strength of each disciple ...... All better than him!
Started at the age of six, studied hard for two years, invested a lot of medicinal baths, and scientifically practiced martial arts and learning, of course, it was stronger than him, who was only in the fourth month of his entry and the first month of becoming an outer disciple!
"Outer disciples over the age of twelve, and outer disciples under the age of eighteen are out of the ranks!" the elder announced as those inner disciples finished their martial arts.
"It's our turn!" Yang Xiong was a little nervous, but still went out with the large army.
"The martial arts show begins! That's right, Yang Xiong...... You can just measure your physical condition...... The hegemon does not have to participate in the assessment. The elder was just about to give an order, perhaps when he saw Yang Xiong in the crowd, and then shouted.
"Yes......" Yang Xiong heard this, not knowing why, but still walked out.
When I really started to perform martial arts, I knew why I called him out. Over the age of twelve, the Tiger Mighty Hegemony Body has already begun to get started, and many people have already cultivated to the first level, or even the second level. How can this thing be tested? It's nothing more than splitting bricks and beating with sticks to test strength and defense, and if you don't test your martial arts in this way, how can you test it?
In the case of Yang Xiong's lack of entry, if he comes like this, I am afraid that he will be sent directly to the hospital......
Chen Ming's side is not easy, what is the test of Tiger Claw Gong, not only the tricks, but also the grip strength. He's learned the moves, but they're just very 'textbook', not as smart as the others. The grip strength is not as good as others, and wild walnuts can't be crushed.
The disciple in charge of the assessment actually frowned when he saw this, but after looking at the report, he immediately understood. It's just been a month since I started, and it's the first time I've participated in the month-to-month martial arts exercise, which is understandable...... So the results of this test were registered as the next comparison.
"Since you are participating for the first time, there is no concept of punishment, and of course there is no reward ......" After the martial arts exercise, the two of them waited to the side, and an inner disciple stepped forward, "Your data has been recorded, and I look forward to your performance next month." Of course, you can also try your luck in the later ring fights. ”
The senior brother laughed...... It is estimated that the eight-year-old inner disciple can defeat us, let alone disciples of the same age. Chen Ming was helpless, there was no comparison, and he didn't know his garbage.
"But this is also a rare opportunity to learn from the same family. Even if you lose in the end, at least you can learn a lot from others!" the inner disciple explained in a low voice.
"Thank you, senior brother!" Chen Ming immediately reacted, indeed, this is a good opportunity to expand his knowledge and learn from other people's martial arts experience. It's just that the price is to be abused, and my self-esteem is a little uncomfortable!
"Ah Ming, do you want to go up?" Yang Xiong asked with some surprise when he saw Chen Ming's impatient appearance.
