It was getting late, and it was not safe to go down the mountain, so Zhao Lin suffered all night at the Eagle's Beak Cliff.

The next day, take the carcass of the blackhorned antelope down from the top of the cliff and speed all the way, enjoying the exhilaration of the speed.

Zhao Lin felt that his running speed had more than doubled, and if he compared it to animals, he should run as fast as a horse.

Carrying the blackhorned antelope home, he put down his things, ate something simply, and immediately rushed to Liuhemen.

He paid money to practice martial arts, and if he didn't study for one day, he would waste one day's tuition, and since he had already absorbed the second spirit, he couldn't delay any longer.

When passing by the gate of the county seat, Zhao Lin stopped and glanced at the notice, which was pasted with the bounty order of the Diamond Mountain Leopard and its backbone.

As the leader of the bandits, the leopard will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, whether it is dead or alive.

The two shopkeepers, the three shopkeepers and the four beams and eight pillars also have rewards ranging from hundreds of taels to dozens of taels.

Zhao Lin didn't expect that the bandit leader he killed was worth so much money, and if he used it to receive a reward, he wouldn't have to worry about tuition fees in the next two or three years.

Unfortunately, unless complete anonymity is guaranteed, receiving such a reward is death.

Although he had no intention of doing so, Zhao Lin still wrote down the portraits of the bandits.

In this era, there were no photographs, most of the portraits were just similar to the shape, the painter had never seen the bandits with his own eyes, and many of the portraits were based on hearsay.

"You're just in time, we're going to have a boxing competition tomorrow, let's practice our hands."

When Zhao Lin came to Liuhe Gate, Sun Xiaofan pulled him and said.

Yuan Cheng also walked over, "You've been in the business for three months, and you're going to have a boxing competition tomorrow, so get ready." ”

The so-called boxing competition is a competition between apprentices.

Apprentices who learn boxing in Liuhemen compete every once in a while and are ranked according to their strength.

Each of Zhu Huaishan's six disciples brought two or three apprentices, so the competition between the apprentices was also an assessment of the six disciples.

Yuan Cheng brought three apprentices, He Jin, Sun Xiaofan and Zhao Lin, and naturally hoped that they could rank higher.

Zhao Lin had the heart to try to absorb the essence of the black-horned antelope, and after improving his martial arts, he happily agreed.

"Let's shoot!"

The two stood opposite each other, because Zhao Lin started late, and Sun Xiaofan asked him to make the first move.

Zhao Lin moved his body, punched twice on the spot, kicked a few times, and he had to adapt to the changes in his body.

"Look at the move!"

At the same time as the words came out, Zhao Lin's body moved, and he punched Sun Xiaofan's left shoulder.

Sun Xiaofan raised his hand to block, set up Zhao Lin's fist, and slashed downward, seizing the middle lane to try to regain the opportunity.

Zhao Lin immediately changed his move, stepped sideways and crossed his elbow, and hit him with an elbow.

Sun Xiaofan has always been known for his quick moves and flexible movements, and when he saw Zhao Lin actually fighting fast with him, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and then changed his moves.

The two of them changed their steps, their hands did not stop, less than ten breaths, only to hear a muffled sound, Sun Xiaofan covered his chest and took a few steps back.

"How did you fight so fast?" Sun Xiaofan was incredulous.

Zhao Lin was secretly delighted, in the past, he was always dazzled by the other party, but now that his speed has come up, it is not so fast to see him make moves.

"Again." Sun Xiaofan was unconvinced.

"Okay, this time you make the first move." Zhao Lin nodded.

"Look at the punch!"

Sun Xiaofan pointed on his toes, jumped forward, and hit Zhao Lin's chest with both fists.

Zhao Lin blocked it with his cross arm, and then kicked out sideways.

In the second fight, Sun Xiaofan's moves were sharp, and it seemed that he had moved his real character.

It's a pity that Zhao Lin is as nimble as a tanuki, and Sun Xiaofan's fist can't even touch his clothes.

This time, it only took seven breaths to separate the results, and it was still Zhao Lin who won.

"Why are you so powerful all of a sudden?" Sun Xiaofan was surprised.

The first time he underestimated the enemy, and the second time he lost without anything to say.

Yuan Cheng was also surprised, but what surprised him was not Zhao Lin's speed, but his flexibility and flexibility.

Ordinary force realm one or even two does not have such a flexible body, only martial artists after practicing tendons have such a performance.

Is this talent?

Even if Yuan Cheng was quite open-minded, he couldn't help but faintly feel a trace of jealousy in his heart.

He knew that Zhao Lin was born with great strength, but it was not uncommon for martial artists with great strength, but it was rare to be so flexible.

This belongs to the material of innate martial arts.

"What am I trying to do here?"

Yuan Cheng laughed at himself and quickly adjusted his mentality.

There are so many martial artists in the world, and there are many who are stronger than themselves, are they all jealous? Then you don't have to live.

"Practicing martial arts pays attention to being quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, from beginning to end is not a skill, and after slowing down, you can suddenly come fast to control the enemy."

Yuan Cheng commented, and then called another apprentice, He Jin, over, "You come and talk to him for a few tricks." ”

"Yes."

He Jin walked up to Zhao Lin and stood still, signaling him to make the first move.

"Compete in martial arts, pay attention to proportion." Yuan Cheng reminded.

He Jin has been practicing in Liuhemen for more than two years, and he is in the realm of dual strength, ranking in the top three among many apprentices.

Because after bone training, his fists are very hard, and if he makes a move with all his strength, Zhao Lin may not be able to withstand it, so Yuan Chengcai reminded him.

Zhao Lin cautiously did not make a move immediately, confronted for a moment, and suddenly slapped a palm.

His palm was a false dangling to attract the opponent's attention, and he kicked sideways halfway through the palm.

He Jin was not confused, and raised his knees to meet him.

Zhao Lin kicked He Jin's calf, feeling that he had hit an iron plate, and although he had already retracted his strength in advance, he still felt the pain in his heart.

"Practice the bone realm, the bones are really hard enough!"

Zhao Lin immediately changed his strategy and tried not to fight hard with the other party.

The two quickly dismantled more than a dozen moves, He Jin has practiced Liuhe boxing for more than two years, and has won the essence of boxing, Zhao Lin has not learned well after all, and he is inferior in moves.

On the other hand, He Jin is already a double force realm, Zhao Lin has just molted twice, the difference in the realm is too big, and the former can punch without scruples.

After dozens of moves, Zhao Lin was forced outside the venue and raised his hand to admit defeat.

"There is a proverb in martial arts, everything is invincible, only fast is not broken, and the two of them have the same."

Yuan Cheng said in an encouraging tone: "Zhao Lin has been in the business for three months, and it is already very good to be able to fight with He Jin back and forth. ”

Although Zhao Lin lost, he was not disappointed.

This is a competition, not a real battle, if it is the latter, he can be invincible with his speed advantage.

Anyway, he finally has the strength to approach the dual strength of the power realm.

The next day, the fight went on as scheduled.

Sixteen apprentices caught and compared, and after half a day, Zhao Lin ranked fifth, second only to a few apprentices who had been getting started for two or three years, and this was the result of his efforts.

Sect Master Zhu Huaishan and several disciples were greatly surprised.

Zhu Huaishan called Zhao Lin to the backyard and said, "You have practiced very well, you can have this result in three months, you are a good seedling for martial arts." ”

"Practice hard in the future, and if you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

Zhao Lin knew that his performance had attracted the attention of the door master, and his face did not show the slightest smugness, and said calmly: "Yes, the door master." ”

"Do you think the realm is important, or is the actual combat important?"

Zhu Huaishan asked coldly.

Zhao Lin was slightly stunned, "Realm or actual combat, what does the door master mean?" ”
