Chapter Seventy-Seven: First Meeting
On the road illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, Shirahama Kanichi, whose whole body had been completely drained, trembled and walked towards his home like a ghost burned to ashes, and he still couldn't help but tremble when he remembered the inhuman torture he had just received in the strange dojo he had just entered a few days ago.
"There must be a problem, there must be a problem with that dojo, how can there be such a hard cultivation from the beginning?" Holding a wooden stick that was used as a cane, Shirahama moved around the street without tears: "555555, how did I end up like this? ā
In order to change the situation of being bullied since childhood, Kanichi Shirahama joined the karate club of high school, hoping to become stronger. However, the weak Shirahama Kanichi was disliked by a bad student named Makoto Daimon Temple who was also in the karate club, and thought that it was an insult for such a weak person to join the karate club, and forced Shirahama Kanichi to withdraw immediately after unsuccessfully, and then set a contract to ask the loser to leave automatically.
And Shirahama Kanichi, who originally had no chance of winning, was trained by Miwa Kazayashiji, a mysterious transfer student he had just met, and learned the basic footwork of two martial arts - swing and buckle steps, and miraculously defeated Daimonji Makoto in this battle, who was several orders of magnitude stronger than him.
Originally, Shirahama Kenichi thought that everything was over, but who knew that the result of this obviously weak victory over the strong had aroused the interest of the karate deputy general Tsukuba Suizo, who was ready to try out for himself how Shirahama Kanichi, a weak boy who seemed to have no martial arts talent at all, was able to defeat his favored newcomer in just one week.
Compared to Daimonji Seilai, who just relied on his strong muscles to bully ordinary people, Tsukuba Suizo, who has the strength of the black belt level, is completely not something that the current Shirahama Kanichi can deal with, so Shirahama Kanichi joined her family's gym named Liangshanbo to cultivate at the suggestion of Miwa of Fenglin Temple, in order to quickly improve his strength in a short period of time.
However, what Shirahama never expected was that this gym was so different, not only were the masters living in it powerful and eccentric, but the cultivation was completely beyond his imagination. Compared to carrying a clay pot filled with water with your fingers every day, the slightest relaxation will be pierced by the spikes under the armpits; Running wildly with a tire every day, and being whipped by the master on the tire as soon as the speed slows down, Shirahama Kanichi is now seriously considering whether it is much easier to be beaten by Tsukuba Suizo.
Just thinking of the bright encouraging smile of Miyu of Fenglin Temple, as an innocent boy, Shirahama Kanichi's heart, which had been squeezed dry by hard cultivation, gushed out a hot current, and he felt full of motivation again.
"I'd better hold on for a while, I can't let Miyu down." Finally made a beautiful female friend, and the teenager who was in the middle of puberty was once again strengthened in his shaky determination under the stimulation of lush hormones.
"Ballball, ball."
The red ball bounced and rolled to the feet of Kanichi Shirahama, and across the road, a three- or four-year-old Lori stumbled towards it, muttering slurred words in her small mouth. Shirahama smiled and wanted to bend down to pick up the ball, but as soon as he moved, he felt his body stiffen, and there was a piercing pain in his waist, and he couldn't help grinning, and a pessimistic question arose in his mind.
"If I practice like this again, will I really be able to live?"
Zā!
At this time, there was a sudden sound of sudden braking, and Shirahama looked up consciously, and found that a small truck had turned out of nowhere and was speeding straight down the road. And just in front of the truck, the ignorant little Lori didn't feel the danger at all, and was running towards her little leather ball with all her attention.
The truck driver also noticed the impending tragedy, with a frightened expression on his face, and slammed on the brakes under his feet, but the huge kinetic energy of the loaded goods carried the truck still at a high speed towards the petite figure in front of the car.
Worst!
At the critical moment, Shirahama consciously rushed over and picked up the little Lori to avoid the truck, but even with the adrenaline rush of power, today's overload exercise made his movements slower than usual, and when he just ran to the middle of the road, the truck was already close in front of him.
It's over!
Turning around and stretching his limbs to protect little Lori, Shirahama Kanichi's heart was cold, so he could only close his eyes and resign himself to fate.
The next moment, a strong wind swept onto the skin, and at the same time there was a loud noise, but Shirahama Kanichi, who was waiting for death with his eyes closed, did not feel the pain of being hit at all, and opened his eyes tremblingly, and saw an unexpected scene.
The rampaging truck stopped only a stone's throw away from him, the front of the car was dented and sinking, the two tires burst, and the ground spun sharply to create two small craters, and the rear of the car was warped in the air like a seesaw, and the driver in the driver's seat was devastated.
Seeing that Shirahama Kanichi opened his eyes, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking like a gentle college student smiled kindly and spoke.
"Little brother, are you alright?"
"No, it's fine." The brain crashed for a moment, and Shirahama replied consciously.
"It's okay." The young man withdrew his hand that was firmly on the front of the car, and the cocked rear of the truck suddenly landed on the asphalt road with a muffled sound.
"Wanderer!"
At this time, there was a scream from the side, and a young woman hurriedly ran over, picked up the little Lori in horror, and tears of fear flowed from her eyes.
"Mom, Qiuqiu!" Not knowing what was going on, Little Lori looked at her crying mother suspiciously, turned her head and stretched out her little hand to the ball on the other side of the road, shouting unwillingly.
After a long period of chaos, Shirahama Kanichi and the young man were able to get rid of the grateful young woman and the curious crowd around them.
"By the way, thank you for saving me." When there was no one around, Shirahama Kanichi remembered that he hadn't thanked the young man just now, and hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and said with some hesitation: "You just stopped, yes, with your hand?" ā
"Heh, did you just find out now?"
"Wow, that's amazing, you're also a martial artist?" If it had been before, Shirahama Kanichi would definitely feel that he was dreaming, but in the past few days, he had seen the performance of those equally inhuman masters in Liangshan Boli, and his ability to bear it was much better, and he immediately asked excitedly.
"Martial artist, sort of." The young man smiled slightly: "Little brother, you were very brave just now, but you were a little too impulsive, and you almost didn't save people but put yourself on the hook." ā
"Hehe, I didn't expect so much just now, I thought it would be in time, but I didn't expect that today's state was too bad." Shirahama Kanichi touched his head a little embarrassed, and suddenly his face was bitter, and his overdrawn muscles gave a fierce response to the violent action just now, and a sour, numb and painful feeling came from all over his body, and he couldn't help but let out a sad scream.
"Huh? Your face is wrong, what's wrong? ā
"No, it's fine, it's just that the muscles hurt a little." Barely squeezing out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying, Shirahama Kaneichi spoke.
"I'll take a look." The young man suddenly stretched out a hand to put it on Shirahama Kanichi's veins, and then a warm current quickly spread throughout Shirahama Kanichi's body from the place of contact, soothing his muscles like a scald, and the unbearable soreness suddenly weakened and disappeared like a falling tide.
"Okay, it's just that I've exercised too much and my muscles are a little strained, so I'll pay attention next time." After a moment, the young man let go of his hand.
Shirahama Kanichi moved his hands and feet incredulously, and looked at the young man with a surprised face: "This, this is?" ā
"Hehe, it's just a little trick similar to qigong."
"Thank you so much, by the way, my name is Kanichi Shirahama, and I don't know your name yet?" Shirahama Kanichi thought of this and hurriedly introduced himself.
"Kanichi Shirahama, that's a good name." The young man showed a hearty smile: "My name is Ye Ye." ā
"Huh, you're Chinese?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
Thinking of Ma Jianxing, one of the lustful and unserious masters he met in Liangshan Boli, Shirahama Kanichi couldn't help but feel sad, they are all Chinese, they are all martial artists, how the difference is so big.
"It's nothing, it's just that there is also a master in the gym where I am learning martial arts who is Chinese."
"Oh, little brother, you're also a martial artist?" Ye Ye raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
Shirahama Kanichi hurriedly waved his hand and said embarrassedly: "No, no, no, I'm just a beginner, and I'm currently studying in a gym called Liangshanbo." ā
"Liang Shanbo!" Ye Ye lengthened his voice.
"Mr. Ye, have you heard?" Seeing that this seemingly powerful martial artist reacted a little strangely, Shirahama Kanichi asked curiously.
Ye Ye showed a meaningful smile: "Of course, it's like thunder!" As he spoke, he patted the bewildered Shirahama on the shoulder, "If you continue to stay there, we will surely see you again in the future." ā
"Okay, little brother, hurry home, I'm going to leave too."
"Ah, thank you so much for what just happened!" Although there were still many questions, Shirahama Kanichi was not embarrassed to delay other people's time, so he had to bow again and thank him and watch Ye Ye leave.
"You're welcome, goodbye!"
After a while, Ye Ye stopped and thought thoughtfully.
"Well, a piece of jade without martial arts talent, the future is worth looking forward to, now, it's still too far away."
"It's my long-lost little junior brother, I don't know what kind of extent it has reached. In order to prevent him from losing to Shirahama Kane's hand in the near future, I, as a senior brother, may need to train him well. ā
