Chapter 4: Setting Sail with Momentum!

  Tang Tian seemed to be deep in thought, and said: "I've heard that there are some extraordinary people outside the world who play with mortals. When they encounter someone with a clever mind or a good appetite, they will take them as apprentices and teach them the ultimate martial arts. It seems that your master, Lin Er, must be a very powerful warrior, able to cure your anemia and make you a martial artist at the age of twelve. Could it be that your master is a Martial God?"

  Tang Lin rubbed his nose and said, "I don't know what his old man's strength is either."

  Tang Tian smiled and said, "That's right, such an old predecessor is not liked to be known by people. Lin Er, you have such an opportunity, it's simply a gift from heaven. You must work hard, it seems that the hope of our martial arts hall in the future will fall on your shoulders."

  Tang Lin nodded repeatedly.

  "Little bookworm, I didn't expect that you, who usually looks so dull and stupid, would have such a skill." Tang Long exclaimed in surprise, putting his arm around Tang Lin's shoulder, and laughed: "When can you introduce me to your master, teach me one or two moves, so I can make a living in the future?"

  "Look at you." Tang Tian laughed and scolded.

  Tang Lin smiled and said, "I'll talk to Master, he should be willing to help."

  Tang Long was taken aback when he saw Tang Lin actually wanting to ask his mysterious and powerful master for help, and hastily shook his head, saying: "This won't do, your master doesn't like being known by people, this is too presumptuous, if he dislikes you because of this, it would be a great sin."

  Tang Lin felt a warmth in his heart and shook his head saying: "My master is very kind, he will definitely help."

  "This can be discussed later." Tang Long shook his head firmly, suddenly thought of something, and chuckled: "You are a martial artist now, in the future when you join a powerful martial arts school or sect, get two secret manuals for me, that's not a big deal, why bother your master?"

  Tang Lin was speechless.

  Tang Tian looked at Tang Lin with a smile on his face, but in his heart he was secretly shocked. His own family had actually produced a 12-year-old martial artist! What kind of talent was this? Looking around the entire Cang Yue Empire, there were only a handful of people like this. At least, he had never heard of anyone who could reach the level of a martial artist at the age of 12!

  All of this is too sudden, too unbelievable.

  Looking at Tang Lin's smile, he knew this scene was real. The child in front of him, who had reached the Warrior Realm, was his own obedient and gentle little son.

  "Warrior!"

  "From now on, Chunyang Wuguan will return to its former glory and reclaim the honor that belongs to it!" Tang Tian secretly thought.

  "Ling'er." Tang Tian looked at Tang Lin and said in a deep voice, "In three more months, it will be the Kick-Off Tournament. Each martial arts school has three places, I hope you can participate too, to win a good ranking for our school."

  Tang Lin nodded and said, "I will definitely take first place!"

  Tang Tian smiled and said, "There's no need to force it, as long as you can enter the top three, that's already impressive. If it were in the past, with your martial arts skills, being ranked first would be undisputed. However, this year is different. The Heaven Dragon Martial Arts Hall's Xie Jianfeng also became a martial artist not long ago. When you two compete, if you can win then win, but don't force it if you can't. You're still young, and even if you get second place this year, the fact that my Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall has cultivated a martial artist will be renowned throughout Longxiang City! With your growth rate, by the time of the next Martial Arts Hall Competition, no one will be able to rival you."

  "Hmm." Tang Lin nodded, knowing his father was worried about his safety.

  Who is the second?

  In one's own goals, there is always only first place, second is trash!

  Tang Lin had the pride of a Confucian scholar in his heart. Although he couldn't practice martial arts since childhood, when it came to studying, he refused to give up. Despite being the last to enroll, he gradually caught up with his grades and became the top student in the academy!

  Either don't do it, or do it to the best!

  "Lin Er." Tang Tian's smile slowly faded from his face, and he looked at Tang Lin with a serious expression, saying: "You cut off the arm of that black-clothed youth today. This is equivalent to ruining someone's future path. Although you are already a martial artist and do not fear his revenge, I hope your strong power has not brought you excessive slaughter."

  Tang Lin knew what his father was worried about, and smiled: "Father, rest assured, I won't be bloodthirsty. Besides, the book says that if one is kind to one person, the gods will be at peace; if one is kind to ten people, one's body will be strong and healthy. I think true kindness is being severe towards evil people, and getting rid of one evil person is equivalent to saving countless good people."

  From young to old, the most common teachings from father are just two words: kindness.

  Tang Lin had already had different understandings of these two words.

  "It's not bad." Tang Tian sighed: "But, no matter how vicious a person is, there is always a kind side. A tiger does not eat its own son. Sometimes, we should try to persuade people to turn over a new leaf and give others a chance to change."

  "Uh-huh, I will." Tang Lin nodded his head.

  Tang Tian nodded slightly and stopped pursuing the matter. He instructed, "Go prepare, we're moving."

  ……

  The new mansion is located in the west of the city, and its area is much smaller than the original one. After everyone moves in, Tang Tiancai tells all the students of the Wu Guan that they will move to a larger mansion after three months.

  Tang Lin understood that his father was counting on him to win the Kickboxing Championship and earn back the funds.

  "Three months..." Tang Lin knew that time was still long, and his previous plan was to go to the Misty Swamp. Now that he had become a warrior, he should go out and make a name for himself, see the world, and fight with real monsters to gain more combat experience.

  "Before going out to practice, first learn the talismans and prepare enough materials." Tang Lin began to study and carve a first-class regular talisman in his own room, following Xiao Hui's teachings.

  As a martial artist, his finger strength had long surpassed that of a senior martial artist by more than tenfold, making it extremely easy to draw. He only needed to trace it three or four times before he could master it effortlessly.

  Ten days later.

  Tang Lin bought a few sets of rough outdoor survival leather goods and came to the door outside his father's study, knocking on it and saying, "Father, it's me."

  "Come in."

  Tang Lin pushed open the door and entered, seeing his father sitting upright at his desk, holding a volume of poetry in his hand. Although his body was robust with muscles, he exuded an air of refinement.

  "Ling'er, you've come to find me, is there something on your mind?" Tang Tian put down the Book of Songs and looked at Tang Lin with a doting expression.

  "Hmm." Tang Lin nodded and said, "Father, I want to leave home and go to the Misty Swamp to train. Now that I'm a martial artist, I need to enrich my combat experience."

  "Go to the Misty Swamp?" Tang Tian's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he said thoughtfully: "Some time ago, there were rumors of a thousand-year-old tree demon in the Misty Swamp. It should be true. Although you are a martial artist, it's still somewhat dangerous..."

  Tang Lin already knew he would say that, and hastily said: "Father, don't worry, with Master following me, nothing will happen."

  "Is your master going too?" Tang Tian was taken aback, then thought for a moment and said: "With your master following you, I'll feel at ease. However, you must prioritize safety above all else, absolutely nothing can happen to you!"

  In his view, the "master" in Tang Lin's mouth could cultivate such a young martial artist, and even if he wasn't a god of war himself, his strength was probably close to it.

  With such a strong person by his side, he was naturally very reassured.

  ……

  Tang Lin had packed his luggage and stood outside the gate of the mansion, looking back to see his father and elder brother seeing him off at the threshold.

  "Be extremely careful!"

  "Come back early!"

  Tang Lin turned around and waved his hand, saying: "Farewell, Father, farewell, big brother, I will return as soon as possible." As he waved his hand, he slowly withdrew his gaze, looking forward to the long street paved with snow, and walked away in big strides.

  Under the solar corona, Tang Lin embarked on a new journey.

  ……

  Red Crucian Carp

  Tang Lin arrived at the entrance, handed over the token to the gatekeeper, and was immediately welcomed into the elegant pavilion inside.

  "Hong Cheng." Upon receiving the news, he immediately rushed over and saw Tang Lin sitting in the elegant pavilion sipping tea. He smiled and approached, saying: "Long time no see, how have you been lately, Young Master Tang?"

  Tang Lin smiled and said: "I didn't come this time to sell you talismans, but I want to trouble you with something."

  "Oh?" Hong Cheng was surprised and laughed: "What's up, just say it directly, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."

  "It's like this." Tang Lin said with a pause: "I'm going to the Misty Swamp recently, and my father is the master of the Pure Yang Martial Hall. Recently, the Tianlong Martial Hall might be causing trouble for our martial hall, so I hope that during the time I'm away, you can help take care of things. Here are three talismans as a token of gratitude."

  "Is your family running a martial arts school?" Hong Cheng was somewhat surprised, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder you have such skills, it's really 'heroes emerge in youth'. As for the token, we don't need it. The Tianlong Martial Arts School is indeed the largest martial arts school in Longxiang City, but after all, it's just a martial arts school. Compared to our Red Carp Gang, it's completely like a small sorcerer meeting a great one. If I spread the word, they will absolutely not dare to provoke your family."

  "Thank you." Tang Lin nodded and took out three talismans from his bosom, saying: "This is a gift of gratitude, I hope you can accept it."

  "Why be so polite, take it back, it's just a small matter..." Hong Cheng's words were not yet finished, his eyes gradually widened, and he stared at the three talismans in Tang Lin's hand with a shocked expression.

  Vermilion red cinnabar paper, exquisite patterns, and the flowing colors emitted by the thick ink strokes.

  "This, this......" Hong Cheng's heart was racing wildly.

  Those who have a slight understanding of talismans will know that if a talisman emits a faint glow, it represents not a basic talisman but a true talisman!

  "These are three first-class talismans, two of which are defensive and one is offensive." Tang Lin handed the talismans to Hong Cheng, saying: "Take them, I don't like owing people favors."

  Hong Cheng's palm, holding the talisman, trembled with excitement. The power of a first-class regular talisman was completely incomparable to that of a basic talisman. Just from the lines alone, the radiance that couldn't be concealed revealed the might of this talisman.

  "If it were to be sold, one piece could sell for over a hundred taels." Hong Cheng's emotions surged as he solemnly said to Tang Lin: "You can rest assured, as long as I'm here, no one in the Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall, including the students, will be bullied by the Tian Long Martial Arts Hall!"

  "Hmm." Tang Lin nodded slightly.

  "Right." Hong Cheng suddenly thought of something and hesitated, saying: "You said, you want to go to the Misty Swamp?"

  ……

  Alright, done, going to sleep, by the way, shouting out loud, asking for recommendation votes, still stuck at 13th place, heartbroken, just a little bit short of recommendation votes, brothers, let's explode!!!!
