Lord of the Desert

Chapter 16 Teaching Assistant
[Sufficient resources for practice are the most urgent problem I need to solve now. 】

Hong Fan bent his knuckles and tapped the table lightly.

[This matter has to start with Qiu De first. 】

Qiude is the full name of Qiu Da Steward.

As the steward of the Hong Mansion and the confidant of Mrs. Wang, this old man has great power in the mansion, even if he faces the ordinary young master, he will not fall behind.

He distributes the monthly schedules and push palace pills of the students who enter the school as a whole.

It is precisely because of this that there are many historical issues between Hong Fan and this person.

For example, monthly cases.

The Hong family is a first-class wealthy family in Jinhai City. As the young master of the eldest house and the parent-child of the patriarch, Hong Fan receives three taels of silver every month.

This is a very high number. At the price of Jinhai City, it is enough to buy 720 catties of rice, or one mu of rice.

No matter how high or low silver and copper are, one tael of silver can at least be exchanged for more than a thousand Wen.

But in fact, what Hong Fan and Aunt Liu got every month was often only a few hundred pennies—otherwise, he wouldn't have no food.

There are various nominal reasons for monthly wear and tear.

For example, the consumption and replacement of daily necessities, the maintenance and repair of courtyards, seasonal clothes, etc...

These should all be free.

In addition, the biggest part is the tribute to Qiude - without this tribute, the Tuigong pill in the welfare must be of extremely poor quality, and the effect will not last for a few days.

[Two and a half years, 90 taels of silver, no matter what, I have to get it back with interest! 】

Hong Fan said to himself silently.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and a call sounded—it was Hong Fu, who was going to school with him.

······
The spring cold is gone, and the sun is shining brightly.

On the martial arts arena, it is neither hot nor cold and the most comfortable time of the year.

Hong and Fan turned around the high wall, and saw two people waiting in the middle of the field.

One of them stood with his hands behind his back, of course it was Hong Li.

The other person is tall and strong, with arms folded. He is the new assistant coach Jiang Youde.

It has been nearly half a month since he quit Zhu Yiqi and transferred to ethnology. During this period, he worked calmly, which made Hong Li feel quite capable.

As for Hong Fan, naturally he would not be unresponsive to such a "coincidence" personnel transfer.

For half a month, he basically got a comprehensive understanding of Jiang Jiadalang from various channels.

He has served in Zhu Yiqi for seven years, and his reputation is not bad. He has suffered several serious injuries and made great contributions.

In terms of martial arts, since he got stuck in the third path of the Tongtong Realm two years ago, he hasn't made any progress.

"Today, the old man will explain to you the difference between Gong, Dharma and Skill."

With his hands behind his back, Hong Li gave lectures first as usual.

"Gongfa, Gongfa, is actually not a single concept."

"Gong is a means of acquiring and cultivating true qi. It involves the connection and expansion of the meridian network, which determines the basic quality of a warrior."

"Fa is the means of manipulating true qi, including methods of exerting strength, routes of luck, and meditation methods, etc."

"For example, Yanliu Kung Fu is the former, and Fire Cloud Palm is the latter."

"Generally speaking, a complete inheritance of martial arts is a system that combines kung fu and dharma."

Hong Li was pacing, and found that Hong Ping was deserting, so he flicked his fingers and sent out a finger wind, which made him stagger.

"In addition to exercises, there are skills."

He glared at Hong Ping and continued.

"Technology includes the sense of distance, sense of space, cognition of body structure, and combat methods such as exploiting flaws."

"Among the three techniques, the technique is the root, and the technique is the last—because the technique always changes with the changes of the technique."

When Hong Li said this, he took a special look at Hong Fan.

"An attack with the same movement, if it is not fast enough, it will be a flaw; if a defense with the same movement is not hard enough, it will be a flaw."

The taught lecture lasted two quarters of an hour.

Then there is the usual foundation building boxing, entraining qi, visualization, and a question-and-answer session.

The finale, of course, is sparring.

Following Hong Li's order, Hong Fu naturally walked towards Hong Fan.

For the past half month, he has been partnering with his friends every time.

But today has changed.

"Hong Fu, the two of us are not suitable to be in a team again in the future."

Hong Fan said seriously.

Hong Fu was startled when he heard this, thinking that the other party planned to "raise" him.

But Hong Fan immediately turned to teaching and spoke again.

"Teacher, I have broken through to the third level of the Inner Vision Realm."

Everyone looked over immediately.

A month had passed since he recovered from his injury, and Hong Fan thought to himself that the news of the breakthrough would not be shocking to the world.

But in the perception of most people, before he was injured, he was far from perfect even in the Great Zhou, and he broke through to the Chongmai level all of a sudden, and it was still ridiculously fast.

"You broke through?"

Hong Li was obviously surprised and confirmed.

"Just yesterday."

Hong Fan said, reaching out to start luck.

Soon, the air above his palm twisted slightly.

After Hong Li sensed it for a while, he confirmed that it was the Chongmai surface.

"Well, the progress is very fast, and the foundation is also very solid."

The old man nodded slightly, although his face was serious, he was obviously very happy.

Of course he didn't know that this was the effect of the Dragon Soul Fruit, he just thought it was because the teachings from last time were effective and made Hong Fan focus on Yanliu Gong.

"Chongmai fighters are [-]% stronger than Da Zhoutian, you two are not suitable for a team."

After Hong Li said something to Hong Fu, he raised his eyes and scanned the crowd.

But among the more than [-] disciples, Hong Fan was the extra one among the six who had cultivated the Chongmai surface.

Just as he was teaching how to arrange and combine in his mind, Jiang Youde, who had been waiting quietly, took two steps forward.

"Teacher, how about letting me be Mr. Fan's opponent?"

The burly man asked.

Hong Fan's heart moved slightly, but his face remained unchanged.

Hong Li did not doubt that he was there, and nodded in response.

On the school field, everyone dispersed in pairs and practiced.

The same is true for Hong Fan's side, with a strict look, and a few rounds passed quickly.

Seeing that the disciples looked good, Hong Li felt that nothing had happened, so he went back to the teaching dormitory to rest.

Jiang Youde saw this scene.

He threw away a punch at random, and asked casually, "I heard that Mr. Fan has studied actual combat skills?"

"It did take some work."

Hong Fan replied truthfully.

"The force between your fists and feet is exceptionally smooth, which is more than a step higher than the rest of the disciples in the ethnology."

Jiang Youde nodded, and suddenly made a proposal.

"It's too simple for you to simply send and receive moves. Why don't we switch to light combat, the effect will be better."

The so-called light actual combat is already an actual combat mode that gets rid of the turn-based system, but you don't need to use all your strength.

"Don't worry, I will suppress the power and speed at the level of the pulse plane, which is consistent with you."

Jiang Youde promised.

"Just follow the teaching assistant's arrangement."

Hong Fan responded frankly, without any fear.

The martial arts training ground is open to the public and under the watchful eyes of everyone, and he thinks that his safety is absolutely guaranteed.

As soon as the light combat started, the atmosphere was very different, and the battle group of the two immediately became the center of everyone's attention.

In previous lives, I don’t know how many times the octagonal cage was used to make the bottom line. Hong Fan quickly devoted himself to it, and Jiang Youde came and went, attacking and defending smoothly.

But just as he was getting better, Jiang Youde's movements changed.

When Hong Fan raised his leg, he suddenly turned sideways and bumped forward.

The former couldn't respond in time and was knocked into the air.

Fortunately, he was fully protected and was not injured.

No one spoke.

Hong Fan was neither surprised nor afraid, just got up silently and joined the battle group again.

Then, after a few seconds, Jiang Youde slapped his chest softly and sat down on his buttocks.

This continued for several rounds, but Hong Fan was like a sandbag that couldn't help himself, and was easily let go every time.
