He will definitely treat you with filial piety in the future, so why worry about not having money?\" I smiled and then signaled to Third Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother originally wanted to refuse, but seeing my signal, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to the old beggar, and called out, \"Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother had always trusted my words because he knew that if I did something, there must be a reason, and I wouldn't harm him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, when the old beggar saw Third Brother kneeling and kowtowing, he also smiled and nodded, saying, \"Although your aptitude and foundation aren't great, you are at least diligent. With me teaching you, your future will be limitless. Since you've already taken me as your master, I'll teach you some things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, the old beggar reached out and touched Third Brother's head just as he had done before. Not long after, Third Brother opened his eyes and looked at the old beggar in disbelief, feeling as if he were dreaming. Finally, he realized what had happened and knelt on the ground again: \"Thank you, Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Third Brother was truly thanking him sincerely. He had originally thought this old man was purely a liar, but he hadn't expected him to be a real expert. It had refreshed his worldview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Third Brother finished speaking, he looked at me suspiciously, as if waiting for my answer. I nodded, and only then did Third Brother realize that all of this was actually true. He sighed and said, \"Damn, I feel like I'm dreaming today. This is too incredible; it can't be explained by science at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, science? You don't even study much! What do you know about science!\" I said to Third Brother with annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys are still too young and have shallow experience. In the future, go out and see more of the world; you'll find that there are many things that are incredible to you!\" The old beggar smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, when can we reach your level?\" Third Brother asked with pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys? With your current situation, it'll probably take seventy or eighty years of practice to reach my level!\" The old beggar looked at us and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Seventy or eighty years? Then what's the use of practicing this stuff!\" Third Brother said dejectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't know anything. If you practice this for a few years, ordinary people won't be your match. Unless you meet people like us, you can walk sideways. Fighting dozens of people alone won't be a problem!\" The old beggar said proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, only dozens? I thought I'd be invincible!\" Third Brother curled his lips, clearly very dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think this is cheating? You want to be invincible right away? Why don't you fly to the sky? Also, let me remind you: don't easily use the martial arts moves I gave you unless you encounter life-threatening danger or meet people of the same kind! These are the rules of the Jianghu, so you must remember them!\" The old beggar warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, just as we wanted to say something else, we found that the old beggar was already gone. We couldn't help but sigh; he truly had the demeanor of a high-level expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother looked around for a long time but couldn't find the old beggar. He said with envy, \"Sigh, when will I reach this level? It's too cool, coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace, truly the demeanor of a high-level expert!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, \"Don't worry, one day you will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, Zhuge Yue would appear whenever she had free time to find me and Zhang Yinuo to eat together. However, those boys would look at me with envy, jealousy, and hatred. But some people were also full of gratitude toward me, because it was thanks to me that they could see Zhuge Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I had tried to find out about Zhuge Yue's situation these past few days, from beginning to end, I only knew her name and her deeds at school; I knew nothing else. Every time the topic came up, she could always appropriately steer it away. After a few times, I knew she didn't want to talk about it, so I stopped asking. After all, doing so would make others dislike me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kung fu and martial arts moves the old beggar passed on to us were really quite good. After two days of breathing exercises, I clearly felt that my whole body was much lighter, and my entire body was radiating unusual strength. I could even finish the 10,000-meter morning run without panting. In short, the effect was very significant. Perhaps, as the old beggar said, after practicing for some years, I might become a big shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This day, when Third Brother and I were eating lunch as usual, Zhuge Yue appeared in front of us just like always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhuge Yue's arrival, Third Brother excitedly shouted, \"Come, sit here, sit here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was snubbed as usual, but Third Brother was already used to it. Wang Xiaopang was also there, because these days he had discovered that as long as he followed me and Third Brother to the cafeteria to eat, the probability of meeting Zhuge Yue was quite high. Although the goddess had never looked at him directly, he didn't mind at all; as long as he could look at Zhuge Yue from afar, he was satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Yue sat next to me, her expression lacking its usual spirit. I looked at her suspiciously and asked, \"What's wrong? Did something happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Yue looked at me and said, \"You might have trouble today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? What trouble could I have?\" I asked, looking at Zhuge Yue, very confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Zhen has made an appointment with people from outside the school, and he's found quite a few people. They might come to cause trouble for you today, so be careful yourselves!\" Zhuge Yue frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Zhen? Damn, that coward still dares to come? If he dares to come, I'll be the first to slap him to death!\" Third Brother cursed with disdain. He had always looked down on Chen Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Is that so? I'd like to see how you slap me today!\" A sudden voice came, attracting everyone's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who arrived was indeed Chen Zhen, along with more than twenty people. This lineup was even more powerful than the last time, and among them were quite a few with tattoos. At a glance, they were street thugs, all holding sticks and iron bars, looking like they were prepared to kill us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does the school allow outsiders to come in?\" I whispered to Zhuge Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They usually climb over the wall, or they're familiar with the security guards and just walk in!\" Zhuge Yue hadn't expected the other side to come so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, he really dared to come!\" Third Brother couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zhen looked at Third Brother with a dark face and cursed, \"Xu Hongzhi, today I'll see how you prepare to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother looked at these twenty-plus people with disdain and said, \"Is this all the people you brought? Call everyone you can call; I'm afraid these people won't be enough to fight later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Chen Zhen could speak, a shirtless man holding a stick walked over and was about to attack Third Brother, cursing as he did so, \"Damn it, what are you showing off for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1278,"2026-06-11T10:32:36.211Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","011401fcc884299b19098407e17342c4767f6934ea1ea5d6b84cb83647e80e12","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-35","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-33",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-overlord-cover.jpg"]
