Chapter 3: Martial Arts from Another World, Dragon and Snake Story

Opening and closing my eyes, it seems like a lifetime ago.

What hangs in the sky is no longer the cold and dim moon, but a sun emitting infinite light and heat.

Zhou Yan was in a trance for a moment.

What immediately came into view was the flow of people coming and going, and buildings of varying heights. At this moment, I also heard countless noisy noises and large neon lights.

The previous moment there were peach blossom trees and the moonlight was deep.

Right now, there is a lot of traffic.

"Day and night change in the blink of an eye?"

Zhou Yan looked incredulous, and then checked his own condition: "The loss of consciousness was only for a moment, and there was no adverse reaction in the body. The possibility of drugs and long-term coma has been ruled out."

"So."

Zhou Yan's heart was beating so fast that he could hardly control himself:
"Did I really travel to another world?"

In the blink of an eye, the world has changed, the sun and the moon have alternated, and the heaven and earth have shifted. This is obviously beyond the reach of human power.

After years of praying, I finally saw a miracle.

Zhou Yan couldn't describe his feelings for a moment.

"are you still there?"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yan suppressed his restless mood, turned around and walked to a more secluded place, and spoke softly.

This is also to avoid being noticed by pedestrians on the street that one's behavior is abnormal. After all, even if this world looks no different from modern society at first glance, the true situation is still unknown, so one cannot act rashly.

Moreover, Zhou Yan also planned to try to communicate with the existence that brought him across time.

If there are any strange visions, be on guard.

No one answered.

Only a layer of light curtain that seemed to be there and not there was ejected, and lines of fonts appeared in Zhou Yan's eyes.

[Current World: Dragon and Snake Romance]

[The world has been crossed, and the function has entered the cooling state. If you want to cross again, please recharge. 】

[Charging conditions: Complete your own story. ]

As the light curtain flickered, Zhou Yan vaguely saw a book that flashed by, unable to be grasped, and then disappeared into the void, without any reaction.

The light curtain also went out.

"Can't communicate?"

Zhou Yan's eyes flashed, and he fell into deep thought:
"And this charging condition, what does it mean to complete your own story?"

Originally, Zhou Yan thought he had obtained a legendary magic weapon, or a system or something like that.

As a result, after he was taken on this unclear journey, apart from a reminder, he could no longer communicate with them, and no other conveniences were brought to him.

Even the time travel itself requires "charging".

Compared with the various magical golden fingers of other time travelers, this is so much more shabby that it can be said that he has to face a strange world alone.

“Forget it. Being able to travel through the world is already an incredible adventure for me. Even without the help of the golden finger, I may still have the opportunity to achieve extraordinary success!”

Zhou Yan looked around, his mind racing:

"Also, the name of Dragon Snake Romance."

While practicing martial arts and seeking the truth, Zhou Yan did not fall behind the times. He had some exposure to common entertainment methods and naturally knew the meaning of these four words.

This is a world where martial arts rise, Kung Fu, martial arts, and national arts are intertwined and countless warriors are searching for the right path, thus creating countless wonderful worlds.

The ultimate development of martial arts is martial arts.

And
"Dragons and snakes rise from the land, and martial arts rise and fall."

Zhou Yan's expression was steady, his eyes like fire: "Although martial arts in this world have declined, they have begun to rebound and are gradually prospering. And according to the times hundreds of years later, there are extraordinary people in this world, and it may not be impossible to achieve Taoism through martial arts and touch extraordinary power!"

Since it is named "The Legend of Dragons and Snakes", then according to memory, this era should be the rise of the cultivation era, the martial arts era before the arrival of the galaxy warship, the time node when everything began.

The galaxy era is too far away, but the martial arts era is at hand.

In many cases, information and intelligence are also a powerful tool, and if used properly, they can bring great help.

"First I have to solve the problem of identity and money, otherwise I won't be able to move forward."

In the alley, Zhou Yan quickly calmed down and started planning.

Although the current era cannot be called advanced, from the quick glance just now, all kinds of cameras have already been installed in the streets and alleys, and I am afraid that my identity will not be easy to solve.

If this problem is not ruled out, it will be impossible to practice martial arts, let alone live a stable life.

Wealth, friends, Dharma and land, this is not just talk.

"There is also the martial arts of this world. I need to get in touch with them as soon as possible. I don't know what the difference is between them and the kung fu I learned. The gap between the upper and lower limits is so huge."

When Zhou Yan thought about the Kung Fu in this world, his eyes twitched.

He was very good at everything he learned, including boxing, stance, leg exercises, qigong and meditation. He had already reached the pinnacle and had been the best in the world for many years.

But if compared with this world, apart from some differences, it is estimated to be at the level of Ming Jin.

How could one achieve such mysterious operations as releasing 'energy', controlling blood, sensing danger, and using 'strength' to repair hidden injuries?

Even if it is the thunder sound of a tiger or leopard, it is absolutely impossible to train the marrow and internal organs.

Comparing the two martial arts, one is truly plain and simple, while the other is like a magical technique.

Zhou Yan felt that it was most likely the difference between the worlds.

Just like science and technology, in different worlds, even if they are similar societies and the time points are almost the same, the level of science and technology will be completely different.

“How can I get my first pot of gold without attracting the attention of the state apparatus?”

Zhou Yan’s thoughts were turning and he had a headache.

On the path of cultivation, none of the four necessities of life - food, clothing, housing and transportation - can have any problems. However, he had just entered this world and had no identification at all, so many of his methods were useless.

If you take it by force, it may lead to some bad consequences.

He is not yet able to fight against the state apparatus.

"Wait, maybe I can lure you into a trap."

Zhou Yan seemed to have thought of something, his expression was determined:
"Martial artists love to fight, and the tradition of fighting in the ring seems to still exist in this world. Perhaps I can use this method to make some money. If I'm a bit ruthless, I can also use this opportunity to plunder the inheritance and make up for my lack of common sense of martial arts in this world.

The most important thing is to 'take the initiative' to attract the attention of the authorities. "The knights broke the law with force, and with power, they had the power of life and death.

Therefore, even in modern society, when thermal weapons crush all living things, no government will allow warriors to develop freely, but will monitor them in every way and suppress their differentiation in secret.

This is an opportunity.

He can make a knife to muddy the waters of the martial arts world, then fish in troubled waters, inherit secret manuals, practice martial arts, and also have official protection for a short period of time, so he is not afraid of being personally attacked by martial artists with too high a level of martial arts.

Then he gained an identity and enough time for him to grow.

This way you kill two birds with one stone.

But the prerequisite is that Zhou Yan can show his own value.

In just a short moment, Zhou Yan had an idea. He prepared to refer to his previous experience and make some modifications. He had already completed a preliminary plan in his mind.

The reason Zhou Yan was able to remain number one in the world for so many years was not just because of his martial arts.

As for the protagonist of the era, the future martial arts emperor, Zhou Yan has not yet thought about it and is not planning to meet him. If the timing is not right, it will only be a waste of time.

"Alright, let's do it!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yan made a decision and looked at the busy traffic outside the alley:

"Then, I have to find a suitable force first."

Lanyang County, Qingliu Street.

The big sun hanging in the clear blue sky was pouring down scorching sunlight, burning the vehicles and pedestrians passing by on the road. The road surface was slightly cracked, and from a distance, the air seemed to be distorted.

There were few pedestrians on the entire street.

There was only one person who walked independently, as if he was not aware of the scorching sun. He walked slowly along the edge of the road and went straight to the end of the street.

Looking up, the words "Golden Eagle Martial Arts School" came into view.

"Finally found"

Zhou Yan muttered to himself.

Through some means, Zhou Yan has found out a lot of information, including intelligence about the many forces of warriors in the county town below his feet.

The Golden Eagle Martial Arts School was opened by the Golden Eagle Sect, specifically to accumulate wealth and fame.

The Golden Eagle Sect itself is a martial arts sect that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years, and its Eagle Claw Kung Fu is extremely sharp.

Several generations of sect leaders have relied on this skill to gain considerable fame. Although the sect has begun to decline in recent years and there are no longer any masters of the dark energy level to support the sect, it still cannot be underestimated.

But that's just right.

Zhou Yan estimated that his martial arts were roughly equivalent to Ming Jin. Some aspects might be different from the martial arts in this world, but it was just right for him to test his own level, adapt to the fighting style of the warriors in this world, and collect information on how to use his strength.

In a martial arts competition, one must fight against opponents who are similar to oneself in order to achieve the greatest growth. Challenging someone who is much stronger than oneself is simply gambling with one's life.

Inside the Golden Eagle Martial Arts School, in the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man in gray shorts was looking around.

Everywhere he looked, they were young men of around seventeen or eighteen years old, with excitement that could not be suppressed on their faces. When their bright eyes looked at him, there was obvious expectation.

Only then did he nodded with satisfaction.

In the martial arts world, a force often develops on two sides.

Yi Nei is the core disciple of the sect, learning real martial arts, being taught prescriptions, and being able to practice the "true teachings" of strength. He mainly fights with people in the martial arts world to determine his status and compete for fame.

First, there are ways to make money, gain face, and build interpersonal relationships. Martial arts schools, dojos, or various companies all exist in this way.

One inside and one outside, supporting each other.

Only then can we achieve long-term prosperity.

The Golden Eagle Martial Arts School is the way his Golden Eagle Sect has been running for decades. It is deeply rooted in Lanyang County. Even though the sect has lost its talents and begun to decline, it has been able to remain stable with the support of this golden signboard.

Therefore, the middle-aged man in gray took charge personally.

This martial arts school is not big, but it is the hope for the rise of the Golden Eagle Sect.

"Master, Master!"

There was a sudden knock on the door outside the hall, disrupting the gray-clothed middle-aged man's thoughts. He frowned, looking dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you so flustered?"

"Come in and talk!"

Yin Qing's expression was indifferent, and his voice was deep and powerful.

He is nearly forty years old, his physical strength has not declined much, but his skills are at an unprecedented peak. He is at his strongest time as a warrior.

Therefore, I feel confident when speaking.

"Yes, Master!"

Outside the hall, a man with bruises on his face walked in half-limping and half-limping, saying, "Master, there are people outside who are trying to challenge us. They look very wild and we shouldn't mess with them!"

The man seemed a little aggrieved as he spoke.

He thought he was an ungrateful fool and was ready to teach him a lesson, but the man had no moral principles and beat up all of his fellow disciples as soon as they met.

He was the one with the least injuries among his fellow disciples, but he might have been covered in bruises and even had a few broken bones.

I don’t know how long it will take to raise it!

"presumptuous!"

Yin Qing shouted angrily, his face darkening:
"Where did this rascal come from to dare to act wildly in the Golden Eagle Martial Arts School?"

While scolding, Yin Qing glanced at the apprentices around him. Although he was angry, he was happy in his heart. He thought that this was an opportunity given to him by God. It was just right for him to show his power to others and take the opportunity to consolidate the reputation of the Golden Eagle Martial Arts School.

When spoken out loud, it becomes:

"Bring him here. I want to see which family is so arrogant and dares to imitate others to challenge the master and show off their power."

Sure enough, the apprentices around became even more excited.

They can come here to learn martial arts because their families are not short of money. Now they haven't even learned any kung fu yet, but they have encountered a scene from a movie. How can they not be excited?
Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, there was a collision sound outside the hall.

Before Yin Qing could react, the door was instantly knocked open, and several figures were thrown in, collapsing on the ground. Upon closer inspection, they were none other than his apprentices!

"No need, I'm coming."

As soon as the words fell, a man walked over leisurely, his eyes locked on Yin Qing who was full of anger in the hall, and said slowly: "I'm not interested in waiting for you to argue, are you the owner of the Golden Eagle Martial Arts Hall?"

Zhou Yan extended one hand, as if inviting:
"Use martial arts to reason, use fists and feet to fight, it is said that the Eagle Claw Kung Fu of the Golden Eagle Martial Arts School is unique and extremely fierce. Today, Zhou came here to learn a thing or two!"
