Chapter 5 Athletic One

"Oh?" Ye Kong stopped and looked at Ye Wen suspiciously, this kid has such a good heart? 】

"Eighth brother, in a few days, it will be the monthly competition, and my father will definitely go to watch, and when the time comes, won't you be able to get what you want?"

"Monthly competition?" Ye Kong really didn't understand, but it was only clear under Ye Wen's explanation.

It turned out that Ye Haoran in order to test his children's martial arts, but also to let his children have more contact with actual combat, so at the beginning of each month, they competed with each other in the martial arts arena.

"Oh, I see. Ye Kong nodded, so that he could indeed see Ye Haoran, but Ye Wen's sinister intentions were also revealed, this kid wanted to take the opportunity to beat and bully himself during the competitive competition.

"There are rules for this competitive competition, right?" Ye Kong asked, the age difference between the children of the Ye family is very big, if Ye Wen is allowed to compare with the eight-year-old Ye Wei, it will be too unfair.

Ye Wen saw his thoughts and said with a smile, "Of course, every three years old, the children of the Ye family can only look for opponents in the age group. ”

Ye Wen actually only said one thing, in the competition, there is another rule, that is, challenge, no matter the age group, the other party can challenge you, you must not refuse, but you can find a helper.

At the beginning, Ye Haoran set such a rule, the purpose was to let the children of the Ye family help and cooperate with each other, and not to be arrogant and become the target of public criticism.

And this loophole was exploited by Ye Wen, imagine that Ye Kong is a fool, his brothers and sisters all discriminate against him, where can he go to find help?

And, more importantly, you can beat Ye Kong in the open every month in the future.

At that time, even if the second wife didn't drive him away, he couldn't bear it himself, and he took the initiative to ask to leave Yefu. This is the poisonous plan that Ye Wen offered to the second wife.

"But even if it's grouped by age group, I haven't practiced martial arts at all, do I have to participate?" Although Ye Kong didn't know Ye Wen's plans, he didn't want to accept it.

Oh, you are all under the teaching of martial arts masters, and you have practiced martial arts since you were a child, so that I can fight with you who has not practiced kung fu for a day?

However, Ye Wen's words made him completely desperate again, "If you refuse to participate without a legitimate reason, you will be driven out of Ye Mansion!"

Ye Kong was annoyed, did he have to be beaten in the ring like a sandbag? Damn, what kind of bullshit is this, forcing Lao Tzu to commit suicide?

"Don't be discouraged, for each winner, my father will personally guide a few martial arts, and will also give a silver reward, Ha Luha, you will have to participate then." Ye Wen threw down a tempting sweet jujube and left, after all, he also had to prevent Ye Kong from pretending to be crazy and stupid to escape the competition.

To be honest, Ye Wen's words still made Ye Kong's heart quite moved, he originally wanted to learn martial arts with Ye Haoran, if he won in the competition, it would be logical.

But Ye Kong is also a self-aware person, he has never learned martial arts, what can he do to fight others? If it was his previous strong body, coupled with his own character of playing with his life, he could still fight hard, but now his twelve-year-old body is malnourished, like bean sprouts, and he can only be beaten.

I want to learn martial arts! I want to become stronger!

Inside, another voice roared and roared. If you want Ye Haoran to take a look at it and let the old lady live a good life from now on, you can only count yourself as losing, and you can also behave in front of Ye Haoran, maybe he is willing to teach himself?

Walking back to the hut from the gate of the inner courtyard, Ye Kong had already made up his mind. Go! I must go to x right and I can't go back to be a fool, I've never been afraid of anyone!

"Kong'er, did you see the general? What did he say?" As soon as he went back, Chen Jiuniang hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Ye Kong couldn't talk to her about the competition, otherwise the old lady would have to worry about death.

"Mother, father, he saw me well, I don't know how happy Lu Dao is, he said that I am currently weak and not suitable for martial arts, let me exercise by myself first, and then teach me kung fu when I am stronger. Ye Kong said with a smile.

Chen Jiuniang didn't doubt it, and she was happy to cry again.

"Mother, find me some thick cloth. Ye Kong hurriedly said.

"What do you want to do with the cloth?" Chen Jiuniang doubted.

"Exercise from tomorrow...... No, I'm going to be exercising from now on!

Although Ye Kong did not have the guidance of a martial artist, he still understood the basic theories and methods of exercising his body on the earth.

If you want to become a master, you need to work on your strength, reflexes, speed, flexibility, and resistance to blows, and with these, even if you don't win in the next competition, you won't lose too badly.

Ye Kong used the cloth found by Chen Jiuniang to sew a cloth bag, put more than a dozen large tiles in each pocket, and then tied it to his legs and began weight-bearing long-distance running training.

Weight-bearing long-distance running, weight-bearing squats, these are the basic training to exercise strength, and they are also the most effective training.

There are less than ten days left, and he is pressed for time and cannot be delayed, so the intensity of training can be imagined. The tiles of the Cangnan Continent are not light, the large black and cyan tiles, more than a dozen, have caught up with two red bricks, and they are tied on each leg.

You must know that he is only a twelve-year-old child, with two red bricks tied to each leg, and at first, he couldn't even walk, but he still insisted.

Running around the Ye Mansion every day, he felt that he was going to fall apart, but a belief supported him.

I want to learn martial arts! I want to become stronger!

"Kong'er, you wipe your sweat, if it's too heavy, put less tiles. Although Chen Jiuniang was happy that her son was willing to endure hardships and make progress, she was reluctant to let him work so hard.

"Mother, it's okay, I still have to do two hundred push-ups. Ye Kong gritted his teeth, he knew that his training was a little too heavy, but he knew that if he wanted to practice in the fastest time, he had to overload training, and only by exceeding his own load could he continue to improve himself.

Time and time again, beyond the limits of the body.

Every night, when he lay on the couch exhausted, he felt that his whole body was sore, and every muscle in every joint was sore, but he was very happy, he knew that his muscles were growing, his joints were strengthening, and the feeling of countless ants crawling in his muscles seemed to be his own muscles strengthening.

In the next few days, all the family members of Ye Mansion saw that in the morning, a small figure was running on the path, at noon, he was going crazy in the grove and hitting the fine sand ground with his fists, and in the evening, he appeared again by the pond, jumped into the water, and swam back and forth a few times.

"I heard that the fool is not good, why is he sick again?" Cangnan Continent does not have this kind of training method, which makes the family members very puzzled.

"Surely he is stupid again, how can there be a good person who doesn't have to do anything to hit the sand?

"Yes, this fool is really good enough, we can't bear to fight, he was stunned for half an hour. ”

"Hurry up, hurry up, fool has a bad temper, I don't want to be punched by him. ”

At the end of the month, it rained heavily, and the raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell, and everyone hid in the house, even the small animals hid under the trees.

And Ye Kong was still running in the torrential rain, as if he couldn't feel the heavy rain wet his hair, clothes, and whole body at all.

The torrential rain became heavier and heavier, and the entire world seemed to be gray, and the ears were full of brushing sounds. On the second floor of a building in the inner courtyard of Ye Mansion, a pair of young men in brocade clothes stood by the window, watching Ye Kong running in the rain downstairs.

"Brother, what is he doing here? Could it be that he is even more stupid?" asked Ye Wu, the second wife's other son.

"He's working on his fitness and wants to win in competition. Ye Wen said with a sneer.

"Exercising like this, is he torturing himself?" Ye Wu said suspiciously.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's a way to refine his muscles and bones. Ye Wen was very sober, he didn't think Ye Kong was going crazy at all.

"Didn't the master teach us that martial arts are from the inside out?" After Ye Wu finished speaking, he asked worriedly, "Brother, do you think he will succeed?"

Ye Wen snorted disdainfully, "From the outside to the inside, everything is half the result, and it is difficult to become a big tool!"

Ye Wen snorted after speaking, pushed the window and walked back to the house.

Ye Wu also smiled, followed up and said, "Brother, give me the opportunity to challenge him this time, I have wanted to beat a fool for a long time, it must be very cool to beat him in front of everyone......"

"Ha Luha, once a month, don't worry, you have a chance. ”

"No, I heard that Ye Long and Ye Hu of the third room also want to take the opportunity to beat him in public for fun, I'm afraid that they will take the lead. ”

Ye Wenha laughed, "A fool is a fool, everyone wants to beat him for fun, and I don't know whose hands he will die in?"

The rain stopped at night, and a full moon rose like a tabletop, this Cangnan continent is different from the earth, the moon of the earth is more curved days, and there are fewer round days.

However, the moon in the Cangnan Continent has more time to be a full moon, and Ye Kong guessed that it was a matter of the angle of the sun.

At this moment, he had finished swimming in the water, lying on a large white stone by the pond, smelling the air after the rain, he could even feel the energy in the air, it was a powerful, but gentle force, which made him think of cultivating immortals again.

"If you can absorb this pound of force in the air and cultivate it for your own use, how powerful it would be. Ye Kong couldn't help but sigh.

In the past few days, he has also known a lot of family members, and he was surprised to find that he was the only one who could feel the amount of power in the air, which made him believe that he could cultivate immortals.

However, there is no immortal to take him at present, and there is no way to know the method of absorbing and cultivating spiritual energy, and he has a treasure mountain but cannot use it, so he can only temporarily put down this idea and exercise with peace of mind.

After a few days of overloaded training, the effect was still very significant, although it was only a few days, but he clearly felt that his arms had become thicker, his strength had increased, and his fingers had a layer of bloody calluses.

"Athletic, I'm not afraid of you!" Ye Kong shouted at the full moon.

On the second day of the eighth month, the day of competition has arrived.

"Mother, I'm going to see my father in the inner courtyard. Ye Kong ate breakfast and got up to go out.

"Wait a minute. Chen Jiuniang stopped Ye Kong, stood in front of him, sorted out his clothes, and nagged, "Kong'er, when you see your father, don't make him angry, if he scolds you twice, just endure it, don't contradict him." ”

"Don't worry, don't nag my mother. Ye Kong walked out of the door with a smile.

And Chen Jiuniang looked at her son's back, and two lines of tears suddenly appeared on her face. She is not stupid, from Ye Kong's performance and the gossip that has reached her ears in these days, she already knows that her son is going to participate in the competition in the inner courtyard.

However, in order to let Ye Kong exercise with peace of mind, she didn't say anything, pretending not to know the way, she was just worried in her heart, her son is fine, these are what he has to face.

But when Ye Kong went out, she suddenly had an idea, if possible, she would rather her son continue to be stupid than let him be hurt.

Came to the gate of the inner courtyard again, and the family guarding the door had already been arranged, so he hurriedly greeted him and took Ye Kong to the martial arts field.

In the northeast corner of the inner courtyard, Xiwuchang is a building with classical Tang style, with dense black tiles, high cornices, and a copper bell hanging under the eaves.

The space in the martial arts practice field is quite large, and the children of the Ye family stand in several rows according to their age group. In front of them was a square-shaped ring one meter above the ground, and behind the ring, there was a long table decorated with cloud patterns, and behind the table was an empty Taishi chair.

"I heard that the fool is going to compete today. "I don't know which child surnamed Ye started talking first.

"Then beat him back!"

"Ha Luha, his brain is not empty, I want to empty him again!"

"He's been running every day lately, and he's got sandbags tied to his legs. ”

He probably thought that athletics were long-distance races. ”

"Ha Lu Ha. ”

Ye Haoran hadn't appeared yet, so all the children were chatting loudly, and everyone laughed at this fool with the most disdainful words.

"Eighth Young Master, Ye Kong. Finally, with a sound of announcement, Ye Kong walked in, and his figure blocked the morning sun shooting in from the door.

Hearing this, the huge hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone stopped talking and turned their heads to look at Ye Kong, who walked in.

"Ha Luha, my mind is empty. The silence didn't last long, and after a laugh, everyone burst into laughter. Unbridled ridicule, piercing like an awl.

Ye Kong's footsteps paused, and he looked left and right at the dozens of teenagers standing inside.

These were his brothers, his father's compatriots, but none of them cared about what he thought, and they all laughed at him wantonly. Perhaps, no one at all, regards him as a brother.

One day, you will all pay the price for (9) today's rudeness! Ye thought and walked to his own age.

"Does it really make you so happy to laugh at a fool?" suddenly a majestic voice came from behind the ring.

The laughter disappeared in a flash, and Ye Kong finally saw his cheap father.

Ye Haoran has lived in the army for a long time, has been in the army for decades, and his tall figure, tiger nose and lion eyes, and black beard, at a glance, he is quite powerful.

All the brothers were very afraid of this father, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing, but Ye Kong was not afraid at all, and looked up.

Ye Haoran's eyes were like lightning, and he swept his eyes, but he obviously didn't have much interest in Ye Kong, and he didn't even pause at all when his gaze swept over him.

He snorted coldly, then ignored what had just happened, and beckoned Ye Cai, the housekeeper beside him.

The thin and shrewd Ye Cai hurriedly came over and lit a few incense sticks, and then Ye Haoran led the children and kowtowed to thank the ancestors.

As soon as the simple ceremony was over, Ye Haoran announced that this month's competition had begun, and after speaking, his eyes swept Ye Kong as if he was nothing.

Damn, this dad, you know that I haven't practiced martial arts, but you don't speak, don't you want me to be beaten openly? Ye kept slandering on an empty stomach, but there was no way, listening to Ye Cai announce the arrangements of each team.

Ye Kong was arranged to practice with Ye Long in the third room, looking at Ye Long, who was tall and strong, not inferior to an adult in the slightest, he secretly complained to himself.

The first one is the competition between Ye Wen and Ye Wu brothers, basically nothing to see, Ye Wen is indeed worthy of being the best among the descendants of the Ye family, although he obviously let his siblings, but Ye Wu still lost badly.

In the second scene, it was the second child of the third room, Ye Hu against the eldest Ye of the fourth room. These two people are of average age, and their strength is about the same, Ye Hu is known for his fierceness and strength, while Ye Guo is known for his lightness and ingenuity, the two have been fighting for a long time, and there is basically no big contact, but Ye Hu's kung fu strength is relatively large, and he is physically exhausted after the fight, and he is a little panting.

"In the third game, Ye Long vs. Ye Kong. With the shout of the housekeeper Ye Cai, the most anticipated competition began.
