Good fortune: I can manifest endless talents

Chapter 26 Suspension of Trading
This night, Gu Dashan was drunk.

This vulgar man had never had a few drinks in his life, and today he drank quickly and violently because he was happy. As a result, after two bowls of dirty wine, he passed out drunk at the dinner table.

Looking at Gu Dashan, who was still mumbling to himself in his sleep, "Erlang is coming out, Erlang is coming out," Gu's mother couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on her face, and gently stroked his dirty head.

Gu Yang, who was across the table, also had a smile on his face when he saw this scene.

This warm feeling is so good.

The biggest dish tonight, a plate of cold pork head, was eaten by Gu Yingying without anyone paying attention, making her groan.

Just like that, Gu Yingying still wanted to eat the stir-fried chicken on the side. Gu Yang was so frightened that he quickly moved the plate away and refused to let her continue eating.

The digestive ability of children is inherently worse than that of adults. Gu Yingying eats a lot of meat that is difficult to digest. If she continues to eat, it will not be enjoyment, but suffering.

On the branches under the moonlight, Gu Yang helped Gu Dashan, who had not yet sobered up, out of the street food shop and walked slowly towards his home.

Gu's mother carried the packed leftovers in one hand and held Gu Yingying's belly full in the other, following closely behind him.

Tonight's meal only consisted of pork and fried chicken. It was not even as good as the Wuyuan canteen he had for lunch every day, but it was a delicacy that the other three members of the Gu family had rarely eaten for so many years.

Spending a penny just for a meal is too luxurious for today's family-oriented people.

But in the future, that won’t necessarily be the case...

After returning home slowly and leisurely, Gu Yang put Gu Dashan on the bed and walked out of the house again.

Gu's mother was digging out charcoal from the pit to keep warm at night, while Gu Yingying was fetching water to wash up.

Gu Yang came to the courtyard, stood next to the snow beside the wall, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and then began to practice the Nourishing Pile Kung Fu again.

Practice requires perseverance. Even if you go out to celebrate and have dinner at night, you still need to catch up on your daily practice at night.

Shoulders, elbows, waist, hips, legs...

Each movement was carried out from Gu Yang's hands, causing all parts of the body to move.

There are many details that need to be paid attention to in the Nourishing Pile Technique. The more he practices, the more Gu Yang can understand the subtleties of this technique.

It may seem like just three simple stances and dozens of fist and kick movements, but the details are countless, so that every part of the body can be exercised.

Although Gu Yang has now practiced this technique to a small level, he still feels that he is still far from fully understanding this technique.

At the top of the moon, Gu Yang finished his lessons for the day and fetched water to wash himself.

His whole body was steaming, and he didn't feel cold even if the cold water touched his body.

After scrubbing himself, Gu Yang added some charcoal to the brazier in the bedroom, and then opened a gap in the door to prevent the charcoal from burning insufficiently and the family being poisoned by carbon monoxide at night.

After everything was done, he lay down on the bed.

It was another competition day and another day and night of practice. Gu Yang was also exhausted and fell asleep soon after lying down.

……

"Gu Yang, come and practice sparring."

The next day, in the martial arts arena where the snow had been cleared away, Li Zhiwu came looking for him as usual.

"it is good."

Gu Yang responded and took Li Zhiwu to a corner of the martial arts field and stood facing each other.

"Be careful."

With a greeting, Li Zhiwu strode forward, standing upright like a bear cub and rushing towards Gu Yang.

Clench both fists and swing them out alternately.

"Hoo, hoo!"

His fist punched through the air, tearing apart bursts of airflow, and he was in front of Gu Yang in the blink of an eye.

Gu Yang's eyes narrowed, and he got rid of Li Zhiwu's fist with a short figure. He took a step forward and got close to the opponent.

Bend the left arm at the elbow, lift it up suddenly, and then smash it forward.

This elbow was like a big gun, slamming open Li Zhiwu's retracted arm.

Then, Gu Yang's right fist hit him directly in the chest.

"boom!"

Staggering back, Li Zhiwu couldn't catch a breath, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground.

Gu Yang did not pursue him, but just stood there, waiting for Li Zhiwu to recover. "call……"

After a moment, Li Zhiwu let out a long breath and looked at Gu Yang with shock on his face.

"Gu Yang, when did you become so fierce? It took me a long time to recover from your punch."

"Haha, lucky." Gu Yang smiled and stretched out his right hand, pulled Li Zhiwu up, and asked, "Are you coming again?"

"Come on!" Li Zhiwu looked unconvinced and replied with his head held high: "I was careless just now. Let's try again."

"Don't you need a break?" Gu Yang raised his eyebrows.

"No need." Li Zhiwu gritted his teeth and replied.

"Okay, let's do it." Gu Yang agreed without comment.

……

"boom!"

"Come again!"

……

"Come again!"

……

"Come again!"

"I'm not coming. Let's take a rest."

[Skill 'Mosasaurus Dance' proficiency +1]

Looking at the small characters crossing before his eyes, Gu Yang couldn't help but shook his head.

Today's Li Zhiwu's combat effectiveness has not improved compared to Xiao Bi's before. He even easily defeated him several times without even using his full strength.

The result of such a 'low-quality' match was that after nearly half an hour of fighting between the two, Mosasaurus Wu's proficiency only increased by less than ten points.

If it were before he made a breakthrough, his skill proficiency would have increased by at least thirty points in these rounds of sparring.

Now in comparison, this harvest is really shabby.

However, this cannot be blamed on Li Zhiwu being too weak. After all, he was also among the top [-] in this competition. It is true that Gu Yang is much stronger now than before.

Breaking through to a small level in one skill of Canglong Wu is equivalent to reaching a small level in all three martial arts skills of Canglang Boxing, Fubo Kicks, and Swimming Fish Footwork.

Compared with the previous few days, Gu Yang's combat effectiveness has undergone a transformational improvement at this time. This is one of the reasons why he was able to win five consecutive victories in the small competition, and not just because of the 'power surge'. Door talent.

"Do it again." Li Zhiwu's eyes were red. He couldn't accept that Gu Yang, who was not as good as him two days ago, could crush him easily now.

"That's the last time." Gu Yang looked at Li Zhiwu seriously and replied.

"Row."

The two stood facing each other again, and this time Li Zhiwu seemed to be fierce. He didn't care about defense at all and kept attacking, attacking crazily.

However, for Gu Yang, Li Zhiwu's state could only expose more flaws.

"boom!"

After being knocked to the ground again by Gu Yang, Li Zhiwu simply stopped getting up and lay directly on his back on the bluestone floor, breathing heavily.

"So, it's not a fluke that you won the competition?" Suddenly, Li Zhiwu's voice sounded faintly.

"Are you okay?" Gu Yang knew that Li Zhiwu was asking him and replied softly: "It's also a matter of luck. Only one opponent is stronger."

"Oh, I only met one relatively strong opponent..." Li Zhiwu nodded and replied.

"Well." Gu Yang didn't want to continue this topic anymore, and changed his voice and said: "The deal between us will end today. I have made a breakthrough in martial arts. Next, I want to focus more on fighting. Above all else."

Although Gu Yang was reluctant to part with the income of two taels of silver every other day, he knew very well that compared with money, improvement in strength was the most important thing.

Two coins is indeed a lot of money and can improve the life of his family, but if he chooses to continue sparring with Li Zhiwu because of this, he is putting the cart before the horse.

The fundamental reason why he competed with Li Zhiwu was to improve his skill proficiency.

Lying on his back on the bluestone floor, Li Zhiwu just nodded silently, then raised his head and looked blankly at the sky.

The scorching sun was in the sky, but it couldn't bring him any warmth at this time...
