Chapter 697: Newcomer

Swish!

A pitch-black catfish swam happily in the water. After who knows how long, it felt a burst of heat in its belly.

Plop!

Inside the True Martial Space, a pitch-black catfish landed on the ground, its tail still bouncing non-stop.

"This... can animals practice martial arts, become exotic beasts? Beast God?"

"No way, looking at this IQ, I'll be tired to the point of vomiting blood..."

Fang Xing threw his hand away with a look of disgust.

This catfish was thrown out again.

Time passed for who knows how long.

Swish!

A splash of water flashed, and a fat catfish was fished out of the water and landed in front of a teenager.

"What a big catfish!"

The teenager was tall, with pale skin, and his features had a bit of a mixed-race style.

He swung his fishing rod, skewered the catfish, and carried it toward his home.

This was a shanty area by the river, built with various discarded boards and cardboard shells, similar to a slum.

And not far away, just a wall apart, was Daluo's port city—Xinfeng!

Over there, there were well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, rickshaw pullers pulling rickshaws, watchmakers... as well as ancient bodyguard agencies, martial arts halls, and medical clinics.

One could even see a few steam buses with thick packages on the roof, looking strange, driving past on the road.

Most of these were products of technology transmitted from White Eagle, localized after entering Daluo.

They carried a rich near-modern atmosphere, and even more of a feeling of being neither fish nor fowl.

"Li Wei, back?"

Several aunties in the shanty area greeted him: "Fished another fish?"

"Yeah.??"

Li Wei smiled happily and returned to his shanty.

It looked very simple, just a few wooden boards put together, but four people lived in it.

He began to cut the fish meat familiarly, thinking to himself: "Good harvest today, can go see Teacher Kyle..."

Teacher Kyle was a white man, well, the other party claimed to be a White Eagle person, but in Daluo, to save trouble, and seeing that the other party's skin was white, they just called him a white man.

It is said that he was once a very powerful knight and had participated in several pioneering groups.

But later, he encountered the war between the Daluo Dynasty and White Eagle, took a sword to his knee, and had to retire.

However, he did not harbor hatred toward Daluo because of this; instead, he felt that this continent of the White Eagle Continent, called the "Land of the Far East," was full of gold and opportunities, so he chose to follow a martial artist and drifted across the sea.

The result was that the martial artist he followed, in order to open a martial arts hall in Xinfeng City, had to follow the rules of the local martial arts circle and set up a ring at the busiest intersection for seven consecutive days, accepting challenges from various martial arts halls.

Then he was beaten to death by a certain martial arts hall master, because a life-and-death contract had been signed in advance, the other party didn't pay a single penny...

The unlucky Kyle therefore lost his job, and then all his assets were stolen by a thief. He wanted to rely on brute force to rob the robbers, but was spotted by several thugs from a fighting agency and beaten half to death, then thrown into the slum.

Up to this point, he became completely honest. Now he carries heavy bags at the dock as a coolie, occasionally teaching some fighting techniques, thinking about saving enough money for a boat ticket to return to the White Eagle Continent...

Although this Kyle looked very miserable, for Li Wei, he was also an incredible "expert."

And because of his mixed-race relationship, he actually didn't mix well in the Daluo Dynasty either, belonging to the marginalized category.

He happened to have saved Kyle, so Kyle had a good impression of him and was willing to teach him a little something.

On the White Eagle Continent side, it was equivalent to taking him as an apprentice; at least he had to call him teacher.

And according to the simple concepts of the Daluo Dynasty, since he had worshipped a teacher, even if he didn't have much money, he still had to express his heart when he had something good.

While walking, Li Wei also tossed a stone talisman in his hand.

This stone talisman was gray-white and had some inexplicable patterns; he didn't know how it appeared in the fish's belly.

He didn't take it seriously and tossed it into his pocket.

Not long after, Li Wei carried the slaughtered half-fish and arrived at a certain place in the shanty area.

The wooden house here looked a bit sturdier, and there was a fence around Kyle's wooden house.

In the corner of the wooden house was a clay pot, inside which Chinese medicine was being boiled.

The whole room was filled with a bitter medicinal smell.

"Teacher..."

Li Wei saw Kyle and raised the fish meat in his hand: "I caught a fish today..."

"It's Li Wei."

Kyle coughed.

He had a muscular build, with golden curly hair and pupils like sapphires.

But at this time, obvious weakness could be seen, obviously due to his serious injuries not yet healed and having to work hard.

The master and apprentice simply cooked the fish meat and ate it. Kyle took another sip of yellow wine and sighed: "The 'Cross Breathing Technique' I passed to you, how is your practice? This is a secret technique to become an official knight. In the White Eagle Continent, how many knight apprentices yearn for it all their lives... Sigh, I also couldn't bear to see the sect's unique learning lost, and seeing that you have half White Eagle blood, I reluctantly passed it to you..."

"Not yet entered the door..."

Li Wei's expression was a bit ugly: "What's more... even if I practice the breathing technique, I'm afraid I'm not the opponent of those martial arts thugs..."

"What nonsense?"

Kyle's Daluo language was stiff, but his emotions were obviously a bit angry: "The way of the Knight, the later it gets, the stronger it is; it's something you can't imagine..."

"Yes, yes, yes, are you going to talk about the legend that a Heaven Knight can conquer the sky again?"

Li Wei rolled his eyes: "In Daluo, martial artists who can fly with their physical bodies are called Super Grade 'Void Realm'... Oh, your first Heaven Knight was beaten to death by a Void Realm elder of the Cao Gang..."

"Well... Daluo is indeed a magical country."

Kyle limped into the courtyard surrounded by the fence.

His disability was also a masterpiece of Daluo martial artists: "But you have no money, can't afford the cheapest martial arts hall tuition, so you can only learn my knight fighting techniques... Now, continue."

Li Wei immediately took off his shirt, revealing his lean torso, crossed his arms in a cross shape, and struck a strange pose.

Accompanied by constantly adjusting the breathing frequency, the muscles on his body began to squirm slightly.

"Feel the wind, feel the earth... feel the fluctuation of life... you will find that the whole world is composed of different ripples, with their own frequencies..."

Kyle began to explain the points of the Cross Breathing Technique.

"Your Daluo martial arts, the Lower Three Grades are just like that, just hammering the body... Our Knight's way, in the hammering of the physical body, will absolutely not be inferior by half... If you put on special knight armor, the winning rate is actually greater, and it is more quick-success... A Knight Squire, if wearing armor, can absolutely kill through a squad of Lower Three Grade martial artists... It's just a pity, the top combat power is not as good as Daluo..."

Kyle seemed a bit regretful.

"Forget it... you wear armor, and ask to fight those who don't..."

Li Wei habitually retorted: "What's more, our top combat power here is actually still very much, such as the Demonic Sect... they will absolutely not cooperate with the Daluo Dynasty, and are even a huge drag..."

Slap!

While Li Wei was speaking, Kyle suddenly attacked.

His joints were thick, his fingers were thick, and he hit several parts of Li Wei's upper body heavily.

In the crisp sound, that area immediately began to turn red and swell...

Li Wei felt a jolt all over, as if he had been electrocuted.

In this strange state, he persisted with the breathing frequency of the Cross Breathing Technique, and it seemed he had indeed grasped something, but it was difficult to maintain.

"I seem to have a feeling, but it disappeared again..."

After a round of beating, Li Wei looked at Kyle, who was sweating on his forehead, and bowed hurriedly: "Thank you, teacher..."

"This kind of practice method is very harmful to your body and cannot be persisted for too long... Also, Li Wei, if you can't break through to an official knight before the age of twenty, this training method will ruin you." Kyle exhaled a long breath and said seriously.

"Twenty years old, that's enough..."

Li Wei smiled: "Teacher, do you think children in the slums can live to twenty smoothly?"

Kyle sighed: "Most of my money has to be saved to exchange for a boat ticket back home... But before I leave, I will try my best to teach you. After your breathing technique breaks through, you can condense the Seed of Life, which is considered truly entering the realm of transcendent knights, and you can learn the true secret transmission of our 'Red Snake Flow'."

"Red Snake Flow?"

Li Wei's eyes lit up; this was content the teacher had never mentioned before.

"There are many schools of the Knight's way, just like the different martial arts halls and sects on your side... My branch is called 'Red Snake Flow,' which is a powerful school that has produced Earth Knights."

Kyle said proudly.

"So not even a Super Grade..."

Li Wei sighed: "It seems... I can only rely on my own efforts.??"

In fact, having grown up in the Daluo Dynasty since childhood, and being influenced by it, he had long felt that Daluo martial arts were superior, and he decided in his heart that after earning his first bucket of gold with White Eagle fighting techniques, he would still go to worship at a famous righteous sect.

As for the Cross Breathing Technique? And the subsequent fighting techniques, Red Snake secret transmission?

They were just steps and springboards!

Night fell.

Li Wei returned home.

"Big brother?"

A little girl with a red headband ran over immediately.

"Dad, Mom..."

Li Wei touched the little girl's head and greeted his foster parents.

His foster parents were of pure Daluo blood, kind-hearted, and it is said that they picked him up on a snowy day.

Looking at his appearance, one knew why he was abandoned.

According to their speculation and Li Wei's own guess, his mother should be one of the Bodhisattva Barbarians in Xinfeng City.

Well, the Daluo Dynasty was quite barbaric, and there was a tradition of capturing alien races as slaves.

The so-called "Bodhisattva Barbarians" were White Eagle women with fair skin, who were demoted to slaves directly after being captured.

There were many music halls and brothels in Xinfeng City that raised a large number of Bodhisattva Barbarians, which was a popular project that had emerged in the last few decades.

"Little Wei is back? Have you eaten?"

Mother Li asked.

"I went to teacher's house, I've already eaten."

Li Wei answered two sentences and helped with the housework, then lay on the bed exhausted and entered dreamland... ===== CHAPTER 698 =====

Li Wei answered a few questions and helped with chores at home, only then lying down on his bed in exhaustion and entering dreamland...
