Chapter 10

A dozen sturdy youths were practicing punches, their bronze-colored skin looking as if it had been oiled, sweat pouring down like rain.

On a plum blossom stake not far away, a man in a white training suit saw the group appear and jumped down, landing without a sound.

"Greetings, Fifth Master Huang!" He walked over quickly and bowed to Huang Jin.

"You guys wait here quietly. I'm going in to see Master Lin."

Huang Jin left a sentence and left with the man.

"I can finally practice martial arts!"

"I must become a martial artist."

Without the Huang family members by their side, the group of selected youths could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts.

Among them, although some had decent families, they weren't much better off than Xu Yang, who dug for food in the dirt; otherwise, they wouldn't have had to "sell themselves" to the Huang family to get the opportunity to practice.

They could practice martial arts, so naturally, they were excited.

"Everyone, whether at Weiyuan Hall or the Huang family, from now on we are brothers eating from the same pot. We should work together," Luo Dehu said, full of spirit.

"That's how it should be!"

"This shouldn't even need to be said. As long as your brain isn't broken, you understand that there is strength in unity."

As soon as his words came out, several people immediately echoed.

He had Bing-Lower innate talent and ranked in the third tier, so his words still carried considerable weight.

Xu Yang watched coldly, not echoing.

He and Xu Laoer were father and son and weren't of one mind, let alone the ten people present who were meeting for the first time today. Even people eating from the same pot couldn't be relied upon.

There were a few others who didn't speak like him, clearly not optimistic about this alliance. They weren't eating from the same pot; they would be competitors in the future.

The Huang family couldn't support their training forever. In the future, some would be eliminated, and some people's resources would be allocated to more talented people.

Although Huang Ping hadn't explicitly stated this before, he had hinted at it.

"Brother Lu, your innate talent is the best, and you will lead us to serve the Huang family in the future. Say a word about whether everyone should unite."

Luo Dehu saw that Xu Yang and the others didn't respond, but he didn't care, instead looking at Lu Ren, who had Yi-Upper innate talent.

Lu Ren was his target, and he only wanted to unite with Lu Ren.

Others didn't know what Yi-Upper innate talent meant, but he knew very well.

This kind of innate talent, in a county of hundreds of thousands, might not appear in a year. It was a true genius.

"Naturally... naturally we should unite."

Lu Ren's face flushed red, and he was still a bit shy and inferior. Judging by the patched clothes he wore earlier, his family conditions should be very poor.

But now it was a bit different. After showing Yi-Upper innate talent, the Huang family had already changed him into fine cotton clothes, revealing a bit of a young genius image.

"Haha... everyone heard Brother Lu's words. Now let's each report our names to make it easier to get to know each other," Luo Dehu laughed.

This guy had the potential of a lackey by nature and already had a bit of the flavor of "relying on power to bully others," starting to issue orders.

"I'll go first, my name is Luo Dehu!"

He took the lead, but before the next person could speak, a scolding sound came from afar.

"If you want to bark like a dog, get out and bark. Don't disturb our training here."

His voice was loud, and he had been jumping around and chattering, finally drawing the dissatisfaction of the people practicing nearby.

Xu Yang almost couldn't help laughing, and the others were also holding it in uncomfortably.

Luo Dehu's face flushed red, but he was too afraid to talk back.

He was a person who curried favor with the powerful and was good at drilling, so he naturally knew that these people practicing at Weiyuan Hall were "young masters" whose families could afford the tuition.

Even if they weren't young masters, they had started practicing early, so he couldn't afford to provoke them and didn't dare to.

He looked at Lu Ren for help, but Lu Ren, although coerced by him, wasn't a fool.

At this moment, Huang Jin and a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and a dignified appearance walked over, resolving his embarrassment.

This middle-aged man was none other than the master of Weiyuan Hall, Lin Cheng!
