Chapter 174 Being Young is a Disadvantage
The next moment!

Chu Yuan stood on the ground with his legs, and an extremely powerful internal force surged out from his dantian and spread throughout his body through his meridians.

Qiao Feng, who was originally trying to suck Chu Yuan into his hands through the air, only felt that he encountered a strong resistance, and his "Dragon Capturing Skill" was bounced away.

"Good inner strength!"

Seeing this scene, Qiao Feng was not surprised but happy. He praised it.

He simply couldn't believe that Chu Yuan, who was so young, more than ten years younger than him, had developed such a powerful internal force.

"Come again!"

Qiao Feng shouted.

Then he kept his five fingers clenched into claws and rushed in front of Chu Yuan.

The five fingers were harder than steel, and the iron fingers seemed to be able to break bricks like mud. They brought with them a fierce gust of wind and grabbed towards Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan sensed the sharpness between Qiao Feng's five fingers, and he used the magical power of "Tai Xuan Jing" to fight against the enemy.

After Chu Yuan mastered the magical power of "Tai Xuan Jing", his understanding of internal power, boxing, swordsmanship, and light skills have all been integrated into one, and he can do it at will.

Chu Yuan stretched out his palms, his palms like spears and halberds, facing Qiao Feng's claw skills directly.

Chu Yuan only felt that the five fingers of Qiao Feng's hands, although made of flesh and blood, were as sharp as steel claws. They could easily tear tree trunks and rub stones into powder. With a casual wave of his hand, he could break bricks and stones.

This is the case even when facing tree bark, bricks and stones, let alone the human body.

Chu Yuan had a very hard time resisting.

Chu Yuan felt that it was fortunate that it was him. If it was an opponent with lower power, Qiao Feng's pair of claws would be real dragon claws, not only able to capture people, but even take their lives.

Not only that, when Qiao Feng was fighting with Chu Yuan, the aftermath of his powerful claws sometimes hit the blue brick wall.

There would be four or five claw marks deep enough to be left on the wall, and blue brick powder would fly everywhere.

After fighting for more than ten moves, Chu Yuan realized that the martial arts used by Qiao Feng should be the "Dragon Claw Hand", one of the 72 unique skills of Shaolin Temple.

The most brilliant performance of this martial art was when the six major sects besieged Guangmingding, and Kong Xing used his claws to crush the stone pillars into powder like bark.

Before joining the Beggars' Sect and becoming its leader, Qiao Feng studied martial arts in the Shaolin Temple as a lay disciple.

His master was Xuan Ku, a high monk from Shaolin Temple.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable that Qiao Feng would go to Shaolin Temple and learn the "Dragon Claw Hand", one of the 72 unique skills.

The Shaolin "Dragon Claw Hand" is said to be the true essence of Shaolin claw skills. It has a total of thirty-six moves. The key point is to be fierce and ruthless, without too many changes. There is not a single flaw in the thirty-six moves, and it is the supreme skill in the world of grappling.

Qiao Feng was not bound by any moves and performed them as he pleased. Each move was far superior to that of his predecessors and he was the best claw skill in the world.

Chu Yuan used all his strength to barely take on his move.

After the two of them fought for more than a hundred moves, Chu Yuan panted heavily and stopped fighting with Qiao Feng tacitly, saying, "Boss, I am no match for you. I lost this competition."

The reason why he admitted defeat was that Chu Yuan felt sorry for his house.

The fight they had just had had the front yard of the house destroyed beyond recognition.

Secondly, Chu Yuan felt that he was probably not yet a match for Qiao Feng.

On the surface, the two sides fought evenly and he was just slightly at a disadvantage.

But he knew very well that Qiao Feng's most powerful skill was his "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing".

It should now be called "Twenty-Eight Palms of the Dragon Subduing"!
The "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" was a martial art that was later simplified by Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng was also panting. The previous fight had consumed a lot of his internal energy and physical strength. He also had a full understanding of Chu Yuan's martial arts.

Although Chu Yuan's martial arts was not his match, the gap between the two was not that big.

The key is that the other party is still very young.

He is only eighteen years old this year. If he reaches my age, his achievements and martial arts will definitely surpass mine.

Qiao Feng said, "I used the Dragon Capturing Technique and the Dragon Claw Hand, but still failed to defeat you. Let's call this a draw."

In the past, his "Dragon Capturing Skill" was usually used to take away objects from a distance and snatch people's weapons.

However, Chu Yuan's use of the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Devil Palm" to capture someone just now inspired him and made him try the same method. Unfortunately, he was not proficient enough in the end and failed.

It was far less stressful than when Chu Yuan had just used the "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm", so he used another martial art, the "Dragon Claw Hand".

But in the fight just now, he did not use his true unique skill "Twenty-Eight Dragon Subduing Palms".

Chu Yuan was very young, more than ten years younger than himself. Although he had the upper hand, he could not be said to have defeated Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan said: "The gang leader couldn't bear to defeat me, so I took advantage of him."

He was not too upset about not having defeated Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng is a man of extraordinary talent, born to be a martial artist. His fighting talent is terrifyingly strong, but he is not bad either.

Especially after experiencing several worlds in succession, not only has he accumulated a lot of magical skills, but his qualifications and talents have also been constantly growing.

Including the time since he solved the mystery in the womb and awakened his memories of his past life, it has only been three months.

In just three months, he was able to fight with Qiao Feng to this level, which proved that he had escaped from the bottom of the world and entered the ranks of masters.

"What advantage? Winning is winning, losing is losing. In the martial arts world, there are very few people I, Qiao Feng, admire. Now, you, little brother Chu, are one of them."

Qiao Feng laughed.

"Come on, boss, let's drink."

Chu Yuan said to Qiao Feng.

"drink wine."

The two returned to the pavilion.

Just now, when Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng were fighting, they deliberately avoided the pavilion, so Chu Yuan's pavilion did not suffer any damage.

"Aren't you practicing the 'White Lotus Locking Jade Palm' and 'Eighteen Earth Dragon Striking Stick Techniques' that I taught you? Where did you get martial arts that can rival the master's magical skills? And in such a short period of time, your martial arts have improved so rapidly that you have reached this level?"

After Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng finished fighting and returned to the pavilion to drink, Ma Dayuan came back to his senses from the fight between Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng. Thinking of the martial arts that his disciple Chu Yuan had just displayed, Ma Dayuan felt complicated and confused. He asked Chu Yuan.

Although the gang leader had said before that Chu Yuan's martial arts skills were extremely high, even the gang leader himself was not sure he could defeat Chu Yuan.

But in the fight just now, the gang leader only had a slight advantage, which undoubtedly proved that what the gang leader said at the time was all true.

What Ma Dayuan is more curious about now is that it was clearly him who brought Chu Yuan into the gang, and he was the one who taught him martial arts, and he was also his disciple.

As a result, before he knew it, Chu Yuan's martial arts had surpassed that of his master.

Moreover, he had never heard of the martial arts that Chu Yuan displayed.

It's not just the palm technique. Chu Yuan was able to fight with the gang leader Qiao Feng for hundreds of moves and was just at a slight disadvantage. His own internal strength must be good.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have possessed such profound internal strength in such a short period of time.

"That's right, little brother Chu, you are my fellow Beggars' Sect member. As the leader of the sect, I shouldn't pry into the privacy of my fellow sect members. But this Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm is extremely powerful. Why have I never heard of this martial art in the martial arts world?"

After hearing what Ma Dayuan said, Qiao Feng put down the wine bowl he had just picked up and looked at Chu Yuan with some curiosity.

When Chu Yuan heard what his master Ma Dayuan and gang leader Qiao Feng said, he felt helpless for a moment.

It seems that I have to find a reasonable source as an excuse to display my martial arts.

Everyone's origins and life experiences can be traced. Once one displays martial arts that do not belong to this world, it will naturally arouse the curiosity of those around him.

"I once accidentally obtained a Taoist scripture, and later discovered that many pages of this scripture actually had interlayers. After I deciphered it, I found another scripture hidden inside. This scripture is called 'Nine Heavens True Scripture'. The 'Nine Heavens True Scripture' records many martial arts, including the 'Heavenly Gang Disha Palm' that I just performed."

Chu Yuan made up an excuse.

In the previous world, I had already used the excuse of inheriting the legacy from a master.

This world needs the scriptures and adventures to be told to others.

Anyway, in the world of martial arts, nothing is impossible.

After falling off a cliff, surviving the disaster, obtaining martial arts secrets, or receiving martial arts training from a master are all basic operations.

"Nine Heavens Scripture, Heavenly Gang and Earthly Evil Palm... they sound like Taoist martial arts!"

Qiao Feng smacked his lips and pondered for a while.

He was once a lay disciple of the Shaolin Temple and was able to tell from the names of the martial arts whether they belonged to Taoism or Buddhism.

"What good luck!" Ma Dayuan exclaimed in amazement.

How come he has never encountered such an adventure?

Qiao Feng, on the other hand, was not that surprised. He drank and said, "There are countless strong men in the world, and there are always strong men outside of the mountains. Brother Chu was lucky to have encountered something extraordinary, but in my opinion, the most amazing thing is Brother Chu's excellent talent and aptitude for martial arts."

Ma Dayuan thought for a moment and said, "That's right, just like the 'Dragon Catching Skill' that the gang leader practiced. It existed in the gang before, but no one had ever mastered it. Only the gang leader was able to master it."

"Dragon Catching Skill"!
This is the Beggars' Sect's magical skill that had been lost for a hundred years. The secret manual has always been in the Beggars' Sect, but no one has been able to master it in nearly a hundred years.

It was not until Qiao Feng succeeded to the throne that he mastered this skill.

It’s not like the chief elders haven’t tried to practice before, but they all failed.

This shows the importance of talent and aptitude in martial arts.

"I remember that I had met Brother Chu before I went to Dingxi City on the border. At that time, Brother Chu was a little inconspicuous and looked very ordinary. He didn't have such profound martial arts. That was a year and a half ago."

"That is to say, at that time, Brother Chu had not yet encountered the adventure, or had encountered the adventure not long ago and had not yet started to practice the martial arts acquired by the adventure. He was able to practice martial arts to this level in just one and a half years. Brother Chu is a genius."

Qiao Feng recalled the time he met Chu Yuan before and the Chu Yuan he saw now.

If he had not seen Chu Yuan before, he would even suspect that Chu Yuan had been disguised.

Chu Yuan: ...

He said that he had just solved the mystery in the womb and awakened the memories of his past three lives. I wonder if Qiao Feng and Ma Dayuan believe it?

However, it cannot be said that Qiao Feng's speculation is wrong. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least one or two years for him to practice martial arts to his current level.

But who made him, in the previous world, be so open-minded and teach Brother Gou all he knew about the Yi Jin Jing?

Later, after Gou Ge comprehended the magical power of the "Tai Xuan Sutra", he returned the favor by passing on the magical power of the "Tai Xuan Sutra" to him!

It just so happens that this magical skill of the "Tai Xuan Jing" is also a magical skill that can be mastered quickly.

That was why he was able to transform from a person with little martial arts skills to a master who could fight with Qiao Feng for more than a hundred moves and only lost within a short period of three months, thus being appreciated by Qiao Feng.

After a hearty drink, perhaps because he had a great time playing and drinking today, he also enjoyed himself.

In a state of excitement, Qiao Feng immediately pulled Chu Yuan aside and said, "Brother Chu, you and I have similar personalities and our ages are not too far apart, how about we become sworn brothers?"

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Sworn brotherhood?"

Although this was the third world he had traveled through, it was the first time that someone had asked to become sworn brothers with him.

In the previous world, although he and Ding Dian, Di Yun, and Gou Ge did not become sworn brothers, their relationship was already better than that of brothers.

And in the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, the one who has the best relationship with him is Dongfang Bubai.

Although there is a big age gap between the two men, they are like brothers and confidants, and neither side really cares about the difference between good and evil.

Knowing that he is in trouble, Dongfang Bubai will come to help him, and if Dongfang Bubai is in trouble, he will also help Dongfang Bubai.

"Why, don't you want to?"

Seeing Chu Yuan hesitate, Qiao Feng said with a somewhat displeased look.

This was the first time he took the initiative to propose to become sworn brothers with someone.

Chu Yuan said: "It's not that I don't want to, but you are the gang leader!"

He had just been named "Green Lotus Messenger", and the gang members were already in awe of him.

If he were to become sworn brothers with Qiao Feng, he would probably instantly become the person with the highest status in the gang, except for the leader and deputy leader.

But if he does this, he will be labeled as a member of Qiao Feng's faction.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, there are also factions and divisions within the Beggars' Sect.

One faction is headed by the elders and deputy gang leader Ma Dayuan, and the other faction is Qiao Feng himself.

However, because of Qiao Feng's personal charm and ability as the gang leader, he was willing to let Ma Dayuan follow him.

This was also deliberately facilitated by the previous Beggars' Sect leader, Wang Jiantong.

The original intention was to check and balance Qiao Feng.

It’s just that Qiao Feng himself doesn’t know it.

Unexpectedly, Kang Min would use him in the end to cause the Beggars' Sect to fall apart.

If he and Qiao Feng became sworn brothers, he would definitely be classified as part of Qiao Feng's faction.

"What's wrong with the gang leader? We are all brothers in the gang."

Qiao Feng said nonchalantly.

"Chu Yuan, the gang leader wants to become sworn brothers with you. He thinks highly of you. Hurry up and agree!"

Ma Dayuan advised from the side.

Although Chu Yuan was his disciple, he was also the one he brought into the sect. Sometimes when he saw Chu Yuan's achievements, he would feel complicated, but as a master, he definitely hoped that his disciple would live better and better.

So the higher Chu Yuan's achievements, the happier he is.

Seeing that Qiao Feng didn't seem to be joking, Chu Yuan said, "Since the leader thinks highly of me, then from now on, the leader will be my big brother."

Qiao Feng picked up the wine jar, poured wine for Chu Yuan and himself, and raised the wine bowl in his hand and said, "You and I are both people of the martial arts world, so we won't do those tricks of kneeling down to close a case. You and I will drink three bowls of wine in a row. After drinking, you and I will be brothers with different surnames from now on."

Seeing that Qiao Feng was looking at him, Chu Yuan also picked up the wine bowl on the table, clinked it with Qiao Feng's, and drank it together.

After drinking three bowls in a row, the two looked at each other and laughed.

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng addressed each other.

Chu Yuan felt helpless when he heard Qiao Feng addressing him as his second brother.

Because in the previous world, he was ranked second among his brothers including Ding Dian, Di Yun, Shi Potian, etc.

This was the result of Di Yun's deliberate humility because he saw that Di Yun had great martial arts skills, otherwise he would have only been ranked third.

"It seems that being young really puts you at a disadvantage."

Chu Yuan secretly complained in his heart.

After becoming sworn brothers, the relationship between Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng became much closer.

The three of them ate and drank until dusk. As the sun shone, Qiao Feng and Ma Dayuan said goodbye and left.

After the two left, Chu Yuan looked at the messy courtyard, the mess on the table in the pavilion, and a dozen empty wine jars scattered around. He looked a little helpless.

All three were big men, especially Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng, who were in their prime, had profound internal skills, and were both good drinkers.

So the two jars of wine that Qiao Feng and Ma Dayuan brought were not enough to drink.

In addition, rice wine is not intoxicating, so Chu Yuan later went out and asked a nearby winery to send ten jars of wine over. As a result, the three of them drank them all.

"Next time, you must not compete with my elder brother at home. We both restrained ourselves at that time. If we had let go, I would have to hire a craftsman to renovate my front yard."

Chu Yuan said helplessly.

Chu Yuan felt it was a loss to renovate the newly acquired house after living in it for only a short time.

After cleaning up the messy yard, the drunk Chu Yuan staggered back to his room.

Fall down and go to sleep.

……

The headquarters of the Beggars' Sect.

In a secret room.

"Just got the news that Chu Yuan and Qiao Feng have become sworn brothers!"

Bai Shijing was wearing his underwear, half lying on the bed with his chest bare, and he spoke to Kang Min who was combing her hair and putting her makeup in front of the mirror not far away.

Hearing this, Kang Min froze for a moment and his expression became a little ugly.
