"It's too expensive, isn't it?"

Xiong Xu swallowed and foamed at the exquisite dishes on several cases, a little embarrassed.

Even if he is simple-minded, he can see that the style here is extraordinary, as if it is a retro seat he has only seen in TV dramas - one person, one antique carved wood, one hand-embroidered cotton cushion, seemingly simple, but full of aristocratic charm.

But Xiong Yao, who knelt down behind the few cases opposite, was generous: "It's very meaningful, but I always feel that something is missing......"

As everyone knows, Raymond now thinks of the bank card with only a fraction of the money left, and his whole heart is dripping blood, and he has worked hard for many years to return to the child overnight.

Wen Yan's eyes gestured to the semi-enclosed private room next door, and said: "Of course there is something missing, I didn't see that everyone is dressed in retro-style clothes when they come here, and with the environment here, there is infinite elegance in their demeanor...... People eat the atmosphere, the feelings, not the food!"

"It's also ......," Xiong Yao frowned, "It's a pity that we don't have ancient costumes." ”

Raymond shook his head, "We don't need it, you look at it again, the people who really wear ancient costumes are middle-aged and elderly, and we are the new generation in our teens and twenties, we don't care about this tune......"

"I'll start!"

As soon as the words fell, Raymond turned the pain into an appetite and began to eat.

In fact, he'd only been here once before, and he's been obsessed with its secluded surroundings and its opposite, fiery dishes.

That time, I still came with Sister Yan's own uncle, but Sister Yan seemed to be very unwilling to see her, a rich uncle who was thriving in other states, and she didn't want to see each other for a few years, otherwise it would not be Raymond's parents to adopt Sister Yan back then.

Specific things, because Raymond was too young back then, he didn't know much, and now he has no impression.

The hot and spicy dishes entered the stomach, and after a while, Raymond felt that his whole body was in full swing, his forehead was sweating, and he felt that the time was almost up, so he immediately abided by the preface, raised his glass to Xiong Yao and said: "Thank you again Senior Sister Lu for pulling out a knife to help, I will do it first as a respect!"

Seeing this, Xiong Yao also raised his glass and drank it all.

The amber liquor enters the throat, and the sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, fresh and astringent flavors are harmoniously blended, sweet and fragrant, with a long aftertaste, which immediately dissipates the heat brought by the hot food.

"The first time I drank this wine, it was sweet and mellow, and the alcohol content didn't seem to be very high!"

Raymond raised his eyebrows, "Of course, we are still students after all, we must stop in moderation, low-alcohol wine is just right......" He snickered in his heart: low-alcohol wine? This wine is the protagonist, the previous environment, style and hot dishes are just foreshadowing, and you will know how powerful it is later!

The reason why Raymond spent "a lot of money" on this "hot pot of incense" was not to slap his swollen face and become fat, but to see the wine here.

In addition to this, Raymond really doesn't know where to provide this low-alcohol wine that is more than 90% similar to rice wine in the previous life, and it tastes very similar to Shaoxing rice wine.

The boss of "a pot of fragrant" is indeed very good at doing business, hot dishes with sweet wine, the more you eat, the more spicy you eat, the more you want to drink, which can be called a hidden aura of persuasion!

Even Raymond himself, even though he had already made up his mind not to drink more, couldn't help but raise his glass again and again, Xiong Yao and Xiong Xu brothers and sisters unconsciously drank a small pot and began to drink the second pot.

Raymond smiled secretly, the most flawless thing to get drunk with others is to let that person get himself drunk!

By the time Raymond started drinking the second pot, the Xiong Xu brothers and sisters had already started drinking the third pot, and their wheat-colored skin was already crimson, and their expressions were drunk.

After swallowing a sip of the second pot of "wine" that almost didn't taste like wine, the corners of Raymond's mouth flashed a strange arc, and he straightened out his expression and said, "What major does Senior Sister Xiong Yao study, has she already started her research, have you chosen a tutor?"

Xiong Yao rubbed his sideburns with the back of his hand, and said in a bit of confusion: "I read a very popular biochemistry, and I originally wanted to choose the most famous professors as tutors, but unfortunately there is no way, it seems that I can only choose an ordinary ......"

said with a look of distress, but did not find that his tongue had stopped listening, and his voice was a little out of shape.

Xiong Xu's expression was gloomy when he heard this, and he couldn't help but interject: "It's all useless for my brother......"

Xiong Yao interrupted: "It's none of your business, it's my own grades that aren't the best, and I can't get the attention of those famous mentors!"

Raymond secretly praised, this kind of high-imitation rice wine really did not disappoint him, the wine is good, but it will not make people fall down quickly, which is suitable for spitting the truth after drinking.

"My family still has a bit of thin noodles at the state university, if the senior sister doesn't mind, I'll help the senior sister ask and see if there is a chance to introduce you to those tutors who have real materials......" But he stopped at the point, deliberately not full of words.

Even so, Xiong Xu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Is the junior brother sure?"

"Of course......" Raymond pretended to be mysterious: "If it weren't for Senior Sister to relieve me today, I wouldn't dare to make this kind of promise, you know, my parents are not good at talking......" said here abruptly, still unfinished.

Although Xiong Xu was a little disappointed, he persuaded in turn: "Junior just give it a try, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed......"

Raymond rolled his eyes in his heart, miscalculated, met a stupid and good person with a tendon, and threw his eyes to the blind man!

However, Xiong Yao rubbed his forehead again, tried his best to mobilize the little reason he had left, thought about it, and said thoughtfully: "If you have money to come here to eat, it seems that your family has some strength, but you are so enthusiastic about my stupid brother, you have something to ask for, right?"

"I do have something to ask the dean to ......"

Lei Meng's frank attitude made Xiong Yao's brothers and sisters feel bad, not to mention that after the previous scene where the young girl rescued the man, the Xiong Yao brothers and sisters unconsciously had a sense of superiority and closeness to Lei Meng psychologically.

As everyone knows, he is breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, and he has finally passed the test, he will not tell Xiong Yao that the savings in his bank card have bottomed out.

"I'm very interested in the information of modern martial arts, I hope the senior can solve my doubts, and at the same time, I want to become an apprentice of the Red Flame Martial Arts Hall as soon as possible, if the senior is convenient, please help run one or two ......"

Xiong Yao was surprised when he heard this, now in this era of high-tech supremacy, the family can obviously arrange a good scientific research tutor, but this junior is actually interested in practicing martial arts, and he still bothered to worship a martial arts hall?

After thinking about it, Xiong Yao looked at his brother: "I'm also curious about what you learned in the martial arts hall, let's talk about it first!"

Xiong Xu scratched his head: "What should I say?"

"Junior brother, if you want to know anything, just ask...... However, apart from common sense, I don't dare to talk nonsense about things that involve the secrets of the martial arts hall, otherwise it will trigger the curse punishment of the [Blood Pact]!"

At the mention of "[Blood Pact]'s curse punishment", he couldn't help but shudder, even if he was drunk now, there was a clear look of fear in his eyes, and he clearly had lingering palpitations about a certain scene in his memory, so he was afraid to avoid it.

"[Blood Pact]?Curse ......?" Raymond muttered, his heart excited, and sure enough, the mysterious power of this world is not limited to illusions and transformations, but takes on a variety of forms.

After a deep sigh, he immediately asked the conjecture he had been haunting about: "Does the martial arts hall teach some secret techniques for cultivating extraordinary powers, such as internal strength true qi, fighting qi or something?"

As soon as the words came out, the hands he put on his lap couldn't help but clench their fists, trembling slightly, and staring at Xiong Xu with expectant eyes.

Xiong Xu glanced at him in surprise, "I didn't expect you to know true qi and fighting spirit...... That's right! The martial arts hall will indeed teach the method of cultivating true qi, and will even assist apprentices to successfully practice true qi through various means and equipment!"

"Just like the [Python Bull Strength] I learned, it is a basic technique that can be practiced to become qi and promoted to C-level martial arts, simple and practical, especially in terms of enhancing strength, explosiveness, and resistance to blows......"

[Python Bull Strength]?

As soon as Raymond heard it, he knew that this was a big road exercise, and immediately interrupted: "What about Ling Rui and Kurosaki Maniac, what level are they......

"Both of them are at the level of the breath circulation, the peak of D-level martial artists, and the half-step C-level martial artists!"

"Actually, I also condensed my breath into qi a few days ago and advanced to the C level, but unfortunately the senior brother said that I only comprehended the fierce and arrogant [Niu Jin], and did not comprehend the flexible and dexterous [Python Jin], the power of qi is limited, and it is far from reaching the consummation of rigidity and softness......"

......

Taxis sped by.

Raymond was drunk, and his chin was tilted over the window as he looked out the rapidly receding landscape tree.

Modern martial arts are far more complicated than he imagined, but Xiong Xu's knowledge is extremely limited!

And this limited information has given him a preliminary understanding of the path of martial arts and the Red Flame Martial Arts—this world has long had a strict hierarchy for all supernatural abilities, including martial artists and fighters!

It is said that in the beginning, the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent each had a set of grading methods and names, but with the mutual influence of Eastern and Western cultures and the globalization of information, the two sets of grading methods gradually merged into one.

That is, now, from weak to strong, the letters F, E, D, C, B, A, and S are the common standards.

According to the theoretical combat power, the lowest F level refers to ordinary young adults who have not undergone any professional training and combat, and they will not be able to use their strength;

Class E is for people who have undergone mass-based, gentle combat training, such as general service soldiers, community apprentices, and fighting enthusiasts;

Class D is for those who have undergone lethal combat training and have some experience in hand-to-hand combat, such as elite soldiers, armed police special police, low-level killers, and personnel outside the martial arts hall;

The C-level is a professional combat force that has experienced a hundred battles, special forces, professional killers, elite agents and disciples outside the martial arts hall.

Having said that, there is also a big gap in the actual combat power between those with the same level of ability, and some of the best of them can even beat several or more than a dozen of them with the same level of ability!

As for the ability of B-level and above, Xiong Xu, as a C-level bottom-level capable person, a disciple of the outer sect of the martial arts hall, has only heard of his name, and he doesn't know the details, just to paraphrase his senior brother's words - B-level and C-level seem to be only one level apart, but in fact, they are very different!

In addition, all kinds of ability people have their own set of detailed rating methods behind closed doors.

For example, the martial arts system in the Eastern Continent is divided into levels according to the stage at which the martial artist cultivates his true qi, and the apprentice's budding qi is E-level, the breath circulation is D-level, and the cultivation of qi is C-level...... Only by practicing qi can you become an outer disciple of a sect or school!

And only the strength stage is a long road that many martial artists will find difficult to complete in their lives!
