Chapter 4 Competition

At this time, the martial arts arena was bustling with activity, and a group of militiamen were training here.

The leader was a sturdy bald man, walking back and forth in the arena with his hands in his hands, pointing out the mistakes of others from time to time.

This is the militia captain Rex, who has served Andrew's family for more than ten years, is loyal, and his own strength has reached the knight's squire, and he is Wolf's henchman.

Green finds Rex and explains to him.

"Young Master wants to fight me?", Rex asked, touching his chin.

"That's right, you are the strongest in the castle except for your father, and I have just recently started to learn combat skills, so I need to train in actual combat...... Come to think of it, only you are the best fit."

"Well...... Since it's the young master's request, then okay" Rex nodded and agreed to Green's request, and immediately asked the militia who were training to stop and empty the central field.

After selecting their weapons, the two came to the center of the field, and after saluting each other, they slowly put on a stance.

Rex's weapon is a cross heavy sword, and the combat skill he cultivates is the widely spread cross sword technique.

Although it is commonly known as the swordsmanship of the bad street, it is not really useless. Its moves are wide open and close, simple and practical, without superfluous tricks, very suitable for frontal attack, so it is particularly widespread.

"Young master, be careful, I'm going to go!"

Rex reminded him, then lunged at him, and in two or three steps he came to Grimm and slashed at him with a slash.

With a slight movement of his feet, Green had withdrawn a few steps in the blink of an eye, dodging the blow. Taking advantage of the fact that Rex's old power was exhausted and his new power was not yet born, Green quickly approached Rex and used the long-practiced "wolf burst", and stabbed Rex in the chest with a short sword in his right hand at a tricky angle.

"Good coming!" Ex shouted, not panicking at the imminent attack, taking a half-step back and raising his crosssword to block the blow steadily.

Although blocked, Green also took advantage of this to get close to Rex within three feet, which is the best distance for Iron Wolf's combat skills!

Taking full advantage of his agility, Green made a series of moves around Rex, and the short sword in his hand rushed towards Rex's key points like a ghost.

And Rex can always defend in time at the most critical moment, and then take the opportunity to attack Green's flaws.

Green, who understood that the other party was feeding him moves, let go of his scruples and used the moves that were not yet proficient in the Iron Wolf Combat Technique.

For a while, the two fought back and forth, and the militia onlookers couldn't stop applauding, and the atmosphere on the field was very strong for a while.

It's just that at this time, Green didn't have the energy to pay attention to the outside world at all, and he devoted himself to learning from Rex. The originally unfamiliar tricks have gradually become proficient, and the movements are no longer one-size-fits-all, but coherent and free.

This feeling made Green couldn't help but feel intoxicated, and even his soul trembled with excitement.

"Right...... That's what it feels like ......! Fighting...... This is the meaning of life!"

The sword in Green's hand grew faster and sharper. Rex finally couldn't take it as calm as he had begun, and his eyes became serious.

The two fought back and forth for a long time, and as the battle became more and more intense, Rex finally found an opportunity to jump out of the battle circle, and said without waiting for Green to speak: "The young master is very strong, I am not an opponent." ā€

Green knew that this was the other party giving him a step, after all, if he continued to fight, Rex could only show his housekeeping skills, and when the time came, he would not be able to hurt him, and it would be difficult to explain to Wolf.

However, Green is not a person with a good face, and said generously: "If you show your real skills, I'm afraid I won't be able to last five moves, and if I lose, I will lose, and there is nothing bad to admit." I have benefited a lot from learning from you this time, and I should thank you. After speaking, he saluted Rex very seriously.

Rex turned to the side, not receiving a salute from Green, who was his master.

"The young master's talent for combat is the strongest genius I have ever seen, and he will definitely be stronger than me in less than a month!"

Looking at Rex's serious eyes, Green knew that this was not the compliment just now, indeed... I enjoy the feeling of fighting, but are I really a battle maniac?

Let Rex take the militia to continue the drill, Green left the arena, looked in his heart, Green did not go back to the room, but came to the castle garden to rest.

Walking by the flowers, Green casually enjoyed the spring scenery, clusters of gorgeous flowers bloomed one after another, and from time to time a bird or two flew by.

Looking at this exquisite beauty in his eyes, he recalled the scene of the battle just now in his mind, and every detail was replayed over and over again in his mind, thinking about various countermeasures.

Before he knew it, he had reached the corner of the garden, and with a glance, he saw a small pavilion in the woods beside him, and Green went up to sit in the pavilion for a while.

As soon as he approached the pavilion, Green heard a small moan, and when he entered, he saw a pair of white flesh rolling on the ground, and from time to time some foul language.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the two of them did not respond, Green coughed heavily. The two of them reacted instantly, froze in place, and looked at Green with a pale face.

"Young Master... I—" It was the man who spoke, who was fat, whom Green knew, who was the steward of the stables in the castle, and who was also in charge of some of the shopping.

Turning his head to look at the woman next to him, wasn't this the maid who frequently flattered him when he served him in the medicinal bath in the morning?

Too lazy to care about these things, Green waved them to hurry away and stop hurting their eyes.

The steward and the maid who had been pardoned hurriedly packed up their things and fled.

It's just that after they left, looking at the puddle of things on the ground in the pavilion, Green lost the desire to enjoy the scenery anymore, and went straight back to his room to rest.

......

For the next few days, Green stayed in the castle and cultivated. Occasionally, he would ask Wolf some questions about his cultivation, and Wolf would give him very detailed answers, and even Green's unique views on combat skills surprised Wolf, and sometimes the two would discuss it late into the night.

After taking another golden orchid potion bath, Green's body became stronger again, but this time Green only got a little strength bonus, and his physique only increased by 0.5, but his fighting spirit increased a lot.

In his spare time, Green went to Rex a few more times to learn from him, and asked Rex for some cross sword techniques.

This man is also very bold, and when he saw Green humbly asking for advice, he poured his experience over the years into teaching.

"Although the cross sword technique is simple and only has some basic moves, it can be combined at will to achieve the effect of turning decay into magic, but this requires extremely high martial arts talent. I know that the young master has a family heirloom iron wolf combat skill, which is much stronger than my rotten street combat skill, but when I went out to beg for a living in my early years, this combat skill did not save my life. ā€

Hearing this, Green nodded solemnly, in his opinion, although this cross sword technique is simple, it often contains the most sincere martial arts concept in simple moves.

What's more, the stones of his mountain can attack jade, and learning more combat skills will also help him comprehend the iron wolf combat skills.

Seeing that Green was listening very carefully, Rex stood up and showed him some tricks of each trick little by little, as well as his years of skills against enemies. Although Rex has not undergone formal training, he has a lot of practical experience, which makes Green also very inspired.

Finally, Green took out a bag of gold coins from his bosom and pushed it in front of Rex, and when Rex wanted to refuse, he said, "I heard that your daughter is about to get married, so use the money to prepare some dowry for her." It seems to me that the experience you have learned from life and death over the years is far from something that a few money can buy. ā€œ

Under Green's persuasion, Rex still accepted the gold coins, but his eyes were a little red, it seemed that his daughter's dowry problem had indeed troubled him for a long time, and now that it could be solved, he was also very grateful to Green.

When he returned to the castle, he was immediately told to go to the study, and Worf was looking for him.

"Father, you're going out?" asked Green, surprised.

"Yes, I have an important business cooperation to discuss with Baron Luke in the territory next door, which has been rejected many times before, and this time I suddenly agreed, but I have to go and talk about it in person. Wolf sat at his desk and said helplessly.

"So you will handle the official documents of the territory in the next few days, and Old Ham will also help you. ā€

Green was trained as an heir since he was a child, and he also invited a teacher to teach him how to manage the territory, but he didn't teach long before he was angry with Green.

But with the help of the old housekeeper, it was only a few days, and there should be no problems, so Green responded.

After telling Green what to look out for, Wolf waved him back, leaving the old butler in the room without knowing what to discuss.

......

Early the next morning, Wolf set off in a hurry with a few cronies.

In the study, Green couldn't help but have a headache in the face of a pile of official documents.

Although it is mainly trivial, it is also troublesome to add up a lot. After a morning of patience, barely finishing some simple business and putting together a few of the more difficult documents, Green shook the bell on the table, called the maid at the door, and asked her to go and invite the butler over.

After a while, the old butler came, and Green hurriedly pushed the official document on the table, "Grandpa Ham, I'm not familiar with these things, you can help me explain them in detail." ā€

Just when the old butler patiently explained these official documents to Green in detail, Green, who had been listening carefully, suddenly raised up and said to the old butler without a head, "By the way, I found that there seem to be some bugs in the castle..."

"Oh?... What have you discovered?" the old butler asked unhurriedly, with a twinkle in his eyes.

It wasn't until Green finished his discovery and guess that he saw that the old butler didn't have any surprised expression on his face, but just listened to him quietly.

"You've already found out about this, haven't you?" asked Green tentatively.

The old butler smiled slightly, and whispered a few words in Green's ear.

So that's it....... Green settled down, it seemed that he was still too young. The bait has been laid out, and it depends on when the big fish will take the bait.

Green could feel it, maybe just a few days ago.
