Chapter 15 Sparring
"Suck, breathe..."

As Gu Yang continued to breathe heavily, a large amount of fresh air poured into his lungs, and his violently beating heart began to calm down quickly.

A steady stream of vitality emerged from his body, and Gu Yang quickly emerged from the state of exhaustion.

The feeling of muscle soreness disappeared quickly, and the legs that were originally a little weak became strong again.

Straightening his back, Gu Yang crossed his hands, reached above his head, and pulled back hard.

"Crackling~"

There was a sound of bones colliding, and Gu Yang suddenly felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him, and his whole body became lighter.

"call……"

With a gentle breath, Gu Yang looked up at the setting sun that was about to disappear into the sky, and was not ready to continue practicing.

According to past practice, the evening bell of the Wuyuan should ring at this time, and he should go home for dinner.

But at this moment, a voice sounded beside him.

"Hello, my name is Li Zhiwu. I saw you last night. That person must be your father. You will spar with me tomorrow and I will give you one penny a day. How about that?"

"Li Zhiwu?"

Isn't it a coincidence that this person came to him before he even found him?

Gu Yang turned his head and looked at the other person. He had a childish face and was only four feet tall, but his body was very strong. He was definitely no worse than the disciple who took him to the cafeteria on the first day.

The strength should not be bad.

Gu Yang looked at Li Zhiwu calmly. Although he was moved, he still refused: "I'm sorry, I've heard about you. I can't withstand your punches."

Taking retreat as an opportunity to advance, he wanted to see if the other party could still raise the price.

"..." Li Zhiwu thought that as long as he was willing to spend money, the other party would quickly agree. But to his surprise, he was rejected, and the reason for the rejection made him crazy.

Recently, his family found a rare body-refining recipe for him, which caused his strength to grow too fast and he was unable to control his strength well. The disciple who had been sparring with him before actually broke his arm due to his mistake.

Later, he found several other disciples, and they were frequently injured after fighting with him, and they all refused to spar with him.

And more importantly, he became famous...

He is not famous because his strength is superior to others, but because someone is spreading rumors behind his back, saying that he invites anyone to spar with anyone he dislikes, injuring the opponent and making him finish last in the small competition.

Once the news spread, no one would be willing to pay for him to spar with him.

This little money is nothing compared to Xiao Bi who is coming soon.

If he was seriously injured and Xiao Bi's grades were at the bottom, he would really not be able to cry.

If it weren't for the fact that he had no other choice, he wouldn't want to invite a newcomer like Gu Yang. He would have to deliberately restrain his strength during sparring.

However, now he discovered that given his reputation, let alone others, it would be great if Gu Yang didn't dislike him...

After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhiwu gritted his teeth and said harshly: "I can only afford two coins a day. You have to know that ordinary people may not be able to earn two coins even if they work hard for a month!"

"Two coins..." Gu Yang's heartbeat couldn't help but beat a beat faster.

Li Zhiwu was right. The exchange rate of gold, silver and copper in Cangzhou was one to one thousand. Two coins of silver were equivalent to two hundred copper plates.

The people in Wancheng only earn a few dozen or one hundred copper coins a month in wages. Even Gu Dashan, a skilled carpenter whose income greatly increased after entering the city, still only earns ten copper coins a day, which works out to only three coins a month.

Moreover, it is not easy to live in a big city. After deducting the expenses of three qian per month, there is nothing left at all.

"Okay, I agree!" Gu Yang glanced at Li Zhiwu and agreed directly.

"It's a deal!" Li Zhiwu seemed to be afraid that he would regret it, so he took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to Gu Yang. "This is your reward for tomorrow. It doesn't matter even if you can't practice with me all day tomorrow. If you are injured, the extra money will be your medical expenses..."

"Okay, feel free." Without any hesitation, Gu Yang took the silver and put it into his arms, then replied with a smile: "See you tomorrow!"

After the deal was concluded, Li Zhiwu left.

Seeing the opponent's back walking out of the martial arts arena, Gu Yang's smile faded and he rolled up the sleeves of his arms.

On his left arm, a light cyan mark was revealed.

This was an injury he sustained during the day in order to test the recovery speed of the injury.

This time, he used great force. When he was injured, the bruises on his arm were very obvious.

As a result, now that one day has passed, the bruises have almost disappeared.

This is the second effect of the talent 'Emergence of Life'.

What Li Zhiwu didn't know was that he really wanted to refuse at first.

If he hadn't demonstrated the talent of 'Emergence of Life', even if Li Zhiwu offered a price of one tael of silver just now, he wouldn't have been able to agree.

But now, it's his turn to earn the money.

……

[Skills: Blood Nourishing Pile·Small Success (11/200); Mosasaurus Dance·Getting Started (57/500)]

[Talent: Vitality emerges. 】

"Huh, huh..."

At midnight, in the small courtyard of Jiuqufang, Gu Yang was lying on his back on the ground in a 'Tai' shape with his eyes closed, taking deep breaths.

The stars were shining brightly before his eyes, and two lines of text appeared again.

Seeing the proficiency of the blood nourishing pile, Gu Yang couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face.

After more than half of the day and one night of continuous practice, the proficiency of the Nourishing Pile Technique has improved by a full ten points compared to when he first broke through.

All I can say is that as long as you put in the effort, you will gain something. This feeling is really great!
Feeling that his physical strength was rapidly recovering, Gu Yang did not get anxious, opened his eyes and looked at the night sky above his head.

In this world, the most incredible thing for Gu Yang was the thirteen bright moons above his head.

As we all know, the moon is a natural satellite orbiting the earth, and there are actually thirteen satellites orbiting the planet.

The thirteen bright moons are distributed in different positions in the starry sky, some are near and some are far away.

The farthest bright moon is only the size of a fist, and the other moons are as big as a rubber ball, a futon... each is different in size.

Among them, there are three bright moons that are extraordinarily large and bright. They are just above Gu Yang's head, reflecting the night sky so brightly that all other stars are invisible.

Just quietly looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Gu Yang felt peaceful in his heart.

It wasn't until Gu Dashan's shout came from the room that Gu Yang dusted himself off and stood up.

However, he did not go back to the house immediately. Instead, he scooped up cold well water, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and wiped his body.

After wiping the sweat and dust off his body, he turned back to the house.

He did not tell his parents about the money he had made, for fear of scaring Gu Dashan and Gu's mother, and then stopped his transaction with Li Zhiwu.

It won't be too late to wait until the duel is over tomorrow and the money is completely in hand.
