Chapter 7: Challenging the Martial Artist

  "They, as the Seven Mile Gully's preeminent martial artist who has failed to verify their skills five times, suddenly had a change of heart and wanted to secretly learn from us and experience the taste of being an ordinary martial artist..."

  "This is jealousy combined with envy! This fool thinks that martial skills can be learned by anyone. Just like us geniuses, learning one move makes our body feel uncomfortable. This waste who can't even pass the entrance exam actually dares to think wildly and try to bypass the exam to secretly learn as a non-martial artist, truly brain-damaged..."

  The two of you spoke alternately in loud voices, one sentence each, and other young people were also gradually attracted over.

  "I just found your moves interesting, so I'm watching for a bit. I know the consequences of ordinary people stealing martial arts techniques, and I don't dare to steal them." Lin Heng naturally denied it.

  "Interesting? You think we're practicing flower fists and leg swings? Screw that, just one move of my Fierce Tiger Double Wind Fist can knock a grown spotted bear out cold! You call this interesting? Or do you want to spar with me and see if it's really that interesting?" Da Gou Er was unhappy with the description of his training as "interesting" and took the opportunity to attack.

  "A useless thing, can it block your punch? You want to beat him to death, his father will fight you to the death!"

  "Who does he think he is? As long as he dares to provoke me, I'll beat him to death! Giving birth to such a waste of space, losing face for our entire village of Qili Gou, it's truly shameless."

  Lin Hang, no matter what, is still someone's son. If he was only insulted, then enduring it silently wouldn't be a big deal. But if his family was insulted, that would be unbearable. What's so great about being a martial artist? Uncle Niu painstakingly pointed out to him: "You're as stupid as a pig, unable to grasp even the slightest thing." With such stupidity, I'd love to have a fight with you!

  Just as he was about to speak, Yuanyuan rushed over and said: "Big dog, how can you bully Lin Hong again? Uncle Lin is the most senior elder in our village, how can you be so disrespectful to your elders?"

  As soon as she spoke up, the others who were jeering also didn't dare to speak, after all, among this group of people, her cultivation was the highest.

  "Lin Heng may have failed in his proof, but he's never done anything wrong. You're bullying him like this, don't you think that's very overbearing?"

  "We didn't bully him, we were just kind enough to tell him that secretly learning our martial arts would lead to his own death, it was for his own good."

  Wanwan didn't know what was going on at first, but when she heard that Lin Yang was secretly learning martial arts, she immediately thought of the days when he would often observe and imitate. She jumped in fright, her eyes wide with alarm: "Lin Yang, you can't be seriously practicing in secret? That's a matter of life and death! You can't pass the warrior's verification, it's normal to feel anxious, but whatever you do, don't take reckless risks and rely on luck."

  "I just admire your practice, like watching, really didn't secretly learn."

  Niu Wanyan also thought so, after all, the consequences of a non-martial artist practicing martial skills are well-known, and Lin Hang had no reason to do such a brainless thing. Moreover, Lin Hang has been here for some time, if he had secretly learned, he would have exploded his body long ago, how could he be standing in front of her safely?

  "In that case, let's disperse."

  Lin Hang didn't want to cause trouble, although the big dog was still barking and mocking him, he ignored it and left calmly.

  On the third day, Lin Hong couldn't help but sneak a peek at the martial arts arena again.

  "What's this trash doing here again?" For the past few days, Da Gou had been waiting for him to show up, eager to take advantage of him. Now that he'd appeared, there was no way he'd let him off scot-free.

  Wan Wan was originally in a state of deep concentration, but when she glanced over and saw the situation, she hastily walked over to intercept him, saying: "Big dog, what do you think you're doing?"

  The big dog was stubborn: "He's just a waste, why do you have to help him one after another? A person like him, born in this world, is just a parasite wasting food." He had secretly liked Yuwen for a long time, so when he saw Lin Heng come, he immediately stared at Yuwen, and his heart surged with strong jealousy. Seeing Yuwen actually stand up to help him out of the situation, this jealousy became even stronger.

  "We are all villagers and relatives, seeing each other every morning and evening. Uncle Lin has made many contributions to our village, why must you be at odds with him?"

  "This good-for-nothing who is not even as good as a woman, has brought shame to our village of Qili Gou and made us the laughing stock of other villages. Do you still consider him one of us? Lin Heng, if you have any ability, don't let Wanwan help you. If you can withstand my attack, I will give you face in the future and show respect to you. But if you can't, then quickly get out of here and leave our Qili Gou village, stop embarrassing us."

  Niú Wǎnwǎn was somewhat angry, how could Lín Héng, an ordinary person who had failed to verify five times, possibly take a move from a martial artist? Dà Gǒuér was clearly taking advantage of the situation to vent his personal grievances without fear.

  Lin Hengyi has always been one who avoids conflict with others, but when the other party is aggressive and provocative, how can he still tolerate it? Not to mention as a son, he cannot bear his father being humiliated. Even as a proud and upright man, facing someone else's challenge, he actually relies on a girl's protection, does he still have the face to stand in the world?

  "Alright! I agree. If you lose, you'll call me 'Big Brother' three times and kowtow to admit your mistake. If I don't knock you down, I'll leave Qili Valley immediately."

  As soon as he agreed, everyone was stunned.

  Lin Heng isn't crazy, is he? An ordinary person, actually agreeing to fight a martial artist? And according to him, it's not just about taking one move from the Big Dog, but actually engaging in combat. This is unprecedented, I don't even know how to describe this utterly ridiculous situation.

  "They all said this guy was a fool, and it turns out he really is. He actually dares to challenge and defeat someone else's martial artist, completely unaware of the heavens and the earth."

  "No wonder I failed five times in a row, must be out of my mind. And to make matters worse, I have thin skin, just a few words from others and I'm all fired up..."

  "Lin Hong's old man is indeed a world-renowned genius, with divine skills that surpass the world, and no one can match him. These rotten people don't believe in you, but I do, you will definitely beat this little martial artist Da Gouzi to the ground..." Before he could finish speaking, the young man burst out laughing, holding his belly.

  The people present ridiculed and mocked him, originally a few people had some sympathy for Lin Heng, but seeing that he actually challenged the martial artist. Feeling that his own martial artist's halo was being provoked by him, they stood together against him, so they all stood on the side of Da Gou Er.

  "How narrow-minded and arrogant!"

  They had just entered the world of martial arts for a short time, and they already deeply felt the huge gap between ordinary people and martial artists that was impossible to cross with human strength. Take a granite stone monument weighing tens of kilograms as an example. Ordinary people would be panting and exhausted even if they could lift it up, using all their might. For martial artists, it was easy to shatter the hard rock into fragments with just one punch.

  Lin Heng took the initiative to challenge Da Gouer, undoubtedly a moth flying into the fire and an ant shaking a tree, seeking death.

  Niú Wǎn Wǎn's dark eyes stared at him, seeing his determination and thinking for a moment. She thought that he was still young and hot-blooded, having been humiliated by the big dog, and couldn't bear to lose face. So even if he knew he wasn't a match, he would grit his teeth and fight back, refusing to yield, and it wouldn't be easy to persuade him at this moment.

  "Wanwan, you also saw this, he's asking for trouble, provoking me on purpose. It's not my fault. If I don't give him a hard time today, he'll think that all of us martial artists are just like him, useless and weak." Da Gou'er spoke up first, fearing Wanwan would stop him again.

  "Trash, come on. If I lose to you, I'll not only call you 'grandpa' three times now, but also address you as 'grandpa' whenever we meet in the future!"

  He absolutely wouldn't believe that he could lose to an ordinary person, especially at the hands of this five-time failure and waste!
