Snapped!

Snapped!

"That's it?"

"That's it?!"

In the small courtyard of the stronghold, brother and sister Cao Xian and Cao Xin were having a fight.

Cao Xian held a wooden sword, took one step to the east and half a step to the west. This is the "Four Elephant Steps".

The "Four Elephant Footwork" changes according to the four elephants: East Blue Dragon, West White Tiger, North Xuanwu, and South Suzaku. Each image has seven constellations, and then changes again according to the shape of twenty-eight constellations. Once practiced, no matter how many enemies there are, you can skillfully avoid them.

.If you practice to a high level, no matter whether the enemy's weapons are light or heavy, you can attack left or right. Just by relying on your wonderful footwork, you can often avoid the enemy's weapons at the last moment. Sometimes the difference is only a few inches, but it is just such a difference.

A few inches and it was completely intact.

This is an exquisite body technique.

But at this time, Cao Xian's envoy came, jumping left and right, and it was really messy.

"left!"

"right!"

"Hit, take half a step back!"

"Too slow! You should hide!"

Cao Xin stood still far away, throwing clods of soil around casually. Cao Xian was so disgraced that he could never come closer.

Cao Xian was anxious to death.

Hearing Cao Xin's sarcasm again, he turned into a little savage and screamed.

"You two, stop making trouble."

"Sit down and rest for a while."

Cao Ren couldn't see it and told them to stop.

"Hey!"

"This is not a quarrel, this is a discussion."

Cao Xin was the first to stop and smiled at his eldest brother: "My sister is too arrogant. She has only been practicing martial arts for more than two months and she doesn't know the heights of the world. She must be made to recognize the reality."

"Xiaowu!"

"You struck too hard!"

Cao Xian came over with a wooden knife and grabbed the back of Cao Xin's neck, feeling angry and embarrassed.

Fortunately, she thought that she had been practicing martial arts for more than two months and was progressing very quickly. Today she learned a new move from her master Tang Miao and showed off to Cao Xin when she came back.

As a result, he was educated by his younger brother.

The majestic ‘Nvxia Cao’ can’t even dodge the clods thrown by an eight-year-old child.

It's simply insulting!

She was embarrassed and still not convinced. She hugged Cao Xin from behind and rubbed his head in revenge. She said harshly: "What's the point of throwing the clods of dirt? With that little strength, you can't hit anyone, and you still want me to retreat."

Half a step? If you are serious about it, you will see if I can retreat! When I catch up with you, I will cut you down with one strike!"

This is the rule the two of them agreed on before——

Once Cao Xin is hit by a clod of earth, Cao Xian will take half a step back.

After all, Cao Xin can't make serious moves, so he has to set up one or two.

As a result, after a trial, Cao Xian was stuck in the same place and could not move forward even half a step.

So irritating!

So frustrating!

She is not convinced!

"Not convinced?"

"Can't hit anyone?"

Cao Xin grinned and took out a stone bullet and handed it to Cao Xian.

"what?"

Cao Xian took it, and it was heavy. He didn't know what Cao Xin meant.

"Is this a real stone?"

Cao Xin asked.

"nonsense!"

Cao Xian rolled his eyes at Cao Xin, thinking she was a fool.

"Then take a look."

Cao Xin took back the stone bullet and flicked it——

Snapped!

The stone bullet hit a wooden stake seven or eight steps away and was shattered on the spot.

"!!!"

Cao Xian was dumbfounded and immediately stood up and ran to look at the wooden pile. He saw that a dent had been made in the hard wooden pile.

How powerful is this?

If this hits her -

"hiss!"

"Are you still my brother? My brother is so powerful?!"

Cao Xian watched the wooden pile take a few steps and then ran back. He rubbed Cao Xin's face with both hands, feeling surprised and surprised.

"snort!"

"Ignorant!"

Cao Xin pushed Cao Xian away. Seeing that the blow was in place, he stopped pressing harder.

Since then, Cao Xian, who has a high compatibility of 37% and 41% with the 'Four Elephant Steps' and 'Yan Xing Dao', has made great progress in practicing these two martial arts under the guidance of Tang Miao, as expected.

, which made Tang Miao feel like he had found a treasure.

Cao Xian gradually became more and more arrogant.

Although he practiced martial arts harder and harder, he would brag about himself every day when he saw Cao Xin, wishing he could raise his face to the sky.

This is floating!

As a last resort.

Worried that his sister is too proud and complacent, Cao Xin can only bear the pain and take action to let Cao Xian see what genius is, what cruelty is, and what reality is.

really.

After these two encounters, Cao Xian became more honest, became close to Cao Xin, and stopped boasting.

At this time, Cao Ren on the side was slightly silent.

Cao Xin is a little god, he won't compare with this one.

But seeing that his sister Cao Xian had only been practicing martial arts for more than two months and had already made some achievements and was on the right track, this made him a little anxious.

Nearly three months after the new year.

I went around and around and visited seven martial arts schools, but still couldn't find a solution.

How could Cao Ren not be anxious?

"There's no point in hurrying."

"Brother has also seen that most people want to practice the 'Four Elephant Steps' and 'Yan Xing Dao' to the level of my eldest sister. It can take as little as half a year or as long as a year."

"Where's the eldest sister?"

"She first worked hard for a month to make up for her foundation. In late February, she really came into contact with the 'Four Elephant Steps' and 'Flying Sword'."

"If you work hard in one month, you can equal the progress of others in half a year or one year."

"Brother, let's wait a little longer."

Cao Xin still advised.

To put it bluntly, for a coward like my eldest brother, instead of working hard to practice martial arts with a compatibility of about 10%, which will be difficult to achieve in ten years, it is better to spend two or three years carefully looking for a martial arts with a high compatibility.

of effort.

If you really can't find it, just give up.

No more martial arts!

Anyway, there is no future in practicing ordinary martial arts. Knowing that it is difficult to achieve success, why endure hardships and hardships? Enjoy life, isn't it delicious?

"well!"

Cao Ren smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

To be honest, if he hadn't been eager to see if Cao Xian's martial arts training was as fast as Cao Xin expected when the new year came, Cao Ren would have been unable to persist.

Now, Cao Xian is indeed making rapid progress, which can be said to be another breath of fresh air for him.

"Then I'll just wait."

"that is--"

Cao Ren's face became hot.

After apprenticeships and withdrawals again and again, Cao Xin said it was easy and unforgiving, but it was Cao Ren who really came out. The feeling of "dropping out" every time is really hard to describe!

What's even more torturous is that the major martial arts schools have always looked down. Cao Ren has been struggling like this for half a year. He has changed nearly twenty martial arts schools frantically, and his reputation has gradually spread among the nearby martial arts schools.

In a word——

The reputation is ruined!

What a joke!

That is to say, Cao Ren has a strong heart and fully trusts Cao Xin. Most people really can't stand it.

"elder brother--"

"No pain No gain!"

"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold!"

"Those who accomplished great things in ancient times not only had extraordinary talents, but also had perseverance."

What can Cao Xin say?

I can only keep pouring chicken soup for my eldest brother and bear with it.

…

Tomorrow is another customized holiday.

Cao Xian did not return to the martial arts hall, but followed Cao Ren and Cao Xin back to Celadon.

The sky is dark.

There are no lights in the alley.

Cao Ren held a lantern, Cao Xian carried a wooden sword, and Cao Xin also cheered up.

The world is not peaceful now.

Even in the city of Xijing, beggars and homeless people are becoming more and more common. There are many gangsters wandering around in quiet places in the streets and alleys, so you have to be especially careful when walking there.

In the past few months, Cao Xin and Cao Ren met several times. Sometimes they encountered people robbing others, and sometimes they came to confront the brothers.

Fortunately, Cao Xin was good at throwing an iron ball weighing half a catty without hesitation. Most of the practitioners would have to kneel down, let alone these poor and evil people who took the risk.

First hit the leg to cut off any escape route, then hit it twice to death.

Afterwards, he stabbed the person to death, and then threw the body into the "original fairyland" where no one could find it.

I was lucky tonight, no accidents happened, and I got home smoothly.

It is still the familiar Celadon Lane, the familiar courtyard, and the familiar reverse-seating room.

My mother, Cao Zhangshi, and my younger brother, Cao Liang, were waiting at home. When they saw the three people coming back, Cao Zhangshi breathed a sigh of relief, and Cao Liang jumped up: "Big brother, big sister, fifth brother!"

very excited.

Nowadays, the Cao family is prosperous, but the family of five has little time to get together.

Cao Ren and Cao Xin go out at four or five o'clock every morning and don't come back until seven or eight o'clock in the evening.

Cao Xian only came back every five days.

There is only one younger member of the family, Cao Liang. Cao Zhang also looks forward to the safe return of her children all day long.

But the situation now is different from last year.

Cao Zhang's aunt, Fang Xiaoyan and other neighbors in the courtyard talked and worked together, so that they would not be bored or lonely.

Little Cao Liang has long been accepted by the friends in the courtyard, and Cao Xin has contributed a series of free games such as jumping grids, taking long steps, fighting grass, throwing sandbags, grabbing stones, and carrying sedan chairs. There is no shortage of little ones.

For play.

Even if Cao Ren, Cao Xian, and Cao Xin are hard to see each other all day long, it doesn't matter.

"Fifth brother, my grass is so powerful, I can't stop doing it no matter what."

Cao Liang couldn't wait to show off his 'magic grass' to Cao Xin. In fact, he wanted to talk to Fifth Brother more and get closer to him.

"Come!"

"Try this with me."

When Cao Xin heard this, he took out a petiole from his body. It was said to be a "fighting grass". In fact, it was to tear off the petiole of a fallen leaf, and the two sides staggered and pulled each other. Whoever broke it first would lose.

This game is usually played in autumn, when there are more fallen leaves, less moisture in the petioles, and sufficient toughness.

Spring is almost boring.

But it can also be played.

Cao Xin took the petiole obtained from the original fairy world and started with Xiao Cao Liang——

Snapped!

Within two strokes, the 'sacred grass' in Cao Liang's hand broke.

Cao Liang was stupid!

"Ha ha!"

"Killing me!"

Cao Xian held his precious wooden knife and stood aside to watch. He leaned forward and back in joy, and Cao Liang's face turned red as he laughed.
Chapter completed!
