Chapter 7

: Enhance Your Throwing Knife Technique!

Immediately afterwards, Senior Brother Chen Xiong had Zhuo Yunfei take Lu Ze to collect two sets of the Black Tiger Martial Arts School's standard black uniforms.

Meanwhile, the senior brothers and sisters continued their cultivation.

Soon after, Lu Ze and Zhuo Yunfei returned, having changed their clothes.

At this moment, Chen Xiong said, "Junior Brother Lu, you've just entered the sect and don't yet know any martial arts techniques. I'll now teach you the Black Tiger Saber Technique!"

Immediately, he took a steel knife from the weapon rack and began to perform the Eighteen Forms of the Black Tiger Knife Technique. His moves were fierce and swift, like a tiger descending the mountain, with a ferocious aura!

Then, Chen Xiong used the Black Tiger Saber Technique again, but slowed down the moves, making each move clearly visible, and explained the techniques of channeling and exerting force.

Soon after, Lu Ze began practicing with the steel knife.

Fifteen minutes later, the Black Tiger Blade Technique (Beginner 1%) appeared on his attribute panel, and then his blade technique proficiency began to increase rapidly.

When the eldest disciple Chen Xiong saw this, he nodded to himself. Although this junior brother Lu's aptitude was average, his comprehension was indeed quite good.

At noon, the sun was blazing.

Lu Ze slowly sheathed his sword, and his Black Tiger Sword Technique proficiency increased to 15% of the beginner level, roughly 5% per hour.

At this moment, Zhuo Yunfei walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Junior Brother Lu, let's go eat together."

Lu Ze said, "Okay!"

Soon after, the two went to the cafeteria to get their food.

The food for the inner court disciples was much better than that for the outer court apprentices, consisting of four dishes and a soup, with fish and meat.

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Ze finished eating and drinking, rested for a while, and returned to the inner courtyard martial arts arena to practice the optimized version of the Nine Forms of Tendon Refining.

In martial arts cultivation, physical training is the foundation!

An hour later, Lu Ze began practicing the Black Tiger Saber Technique.

As evening approached, Lu Ze slowly sheathed his sword and checked his attribute panel. His Black Tiger Sword Technique had been upgraded to the beginner level 28.

At this moment, Zhuo Yunfei walked over and said, "Junior Brother Lu, your job has been arranged by Senior Brother. I'll take you there later!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Zhuo and Eldest Brother!"

Not long after, Zhuo Yunfei led Lu Ze to a butcher's house.

This butcher was none other than Butcher Li, whom Lu Ze had met once before.

Butcher Li recognized Lu Ze and, seeing his standard black uniform, immediately smiled broadly and said, "Young Master Lu is indeed exceptionally talented. In such a short time, you've already become a formal disciple of the Black Tiger Martial Arts Academy. Congratulations!"

Lu Ze clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Uncle Li!"

At this moment, Zhuo Yunfei said, "Since you know each other, I won't introduce you. Junior Brother Lu, you just need to come over every morning to slaughter the pig, and you don't need to take care of anything else."

Lu Ze nodded, and then the two left together.

Soon after, Zhuo Yunfei led Lu Ze to a spacious mansion.

There were two large stone lions at the entrance of the mansion, and two black-clad guards with swords stood watch at the gate.

Zhuo Yunfei said, "This is the Xu family's residence, and also your employer. Your senior brother has already reached an agreement with them. You will work the night shift here every night, patrolling the courtyard for four hours. You can rest in the mansion during your spare time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze asked doubtfully, "Won't we encounter strange creatures while patrolling at night? Besides, there shouldn't be any thieves attacking at night, right?"

The government issues talismans that are pasted on the doors of houses to protect the family, but the doors and windows must not be opened, otherwise danger will surely follow. If you patrol the yard at night, wouldn't you be feeding the evil spirits?

Zhuo Yunfei laughed and said, "Junior Brother Lu, don't worry. The Xu family is a wealthy family with a large business. They will definitely spend money to hire high-grade talismans from the City God Temple to protect their courtyard. Ordinary ghosts won't dare to invade. On the contrary, some evil sects and sorcerers will use talismans for protection and steal at night, posing a greater threat than ghosts. Junior Brother Lu has just entered the sect and his martial arts are not yet fully developed. If you really encounter such evil sects and sorcerers, remember that survival is the most important thing!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I will remember it!"

Soon after, Zhuo Yunfei and Lu Ze approached the Xu residence and explained the impending attack.

A guard in black led the two inside.

Not long after, Lu Ze met an elderly man in his fifties dressed in brocade robes. He was the steward of the Xu family, surnamed Wu.

Butler Wu looked at Lu Ze and smiled, "A handsome young man, not bad, truly worthy of being a top disciple of the Black Tiger Martial Arts School! Young Master Lu, you can rest today and come to work tomorrow evening."

Lu Ze clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Steward Wu!"

Not long after, Lu Ze and Zhuo Yunfei went home.

Although there are demon-suppressing guards patrolling, Qinghe Town is not peaceful at night, so it's best to go home early.

When Lu Ze returned home, his parents, Lu Cheng and Liu Yumei, were delighted to see him in his standard black uniform.

My son has made something of himself!

Moreover, with his son becoming a formal disciple of the Black Tiger Martial Arts School, no more foolish gang members would come looking for trouble.

Lu Xuan was also very happy. Her second brother had become more powerful, and she could learn martial arts from him in the future.

Lu Ze then told his parents about his job.

Lu Cheng said with a delighted expression, "Son, work hard, and when you've saved up enough money, I'll buy you a good knife."

As a blacksmith at the Beacon Fire Forging Workshop, he could buy steel knives at an internal price, and with his discerning eye, he could pick out the best quality one.

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Ze finished his meal, practiced the Nine Forms of Tendon Refining for an hour, rested for a while, then took out two throwing knives, hung a wooden board on the wall, and began practicing throwing knives in the hall.

He practiced for an hour and a half before taking a shower and going to bed.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Lu Ze ate breakfast and went to Butcher Li's house, where he killed another large, fat pig and gained 1 Source Point.

He then headed to the martial arts school, pondering how to use this source point along the way.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ze decided to improve his throwing knife technique. His throwing knife technique wasn't a formal martial arts manual; although its power was decent, it would probably be useless against a master.

Then, he stared at the Throwing Knife Skill on the attribute panel, where a "+" appeared next to it.

"Currently, we can strengthen the following areas: 1. Internal Martial Arts: Using internal force according to our unique techniques to amplify the power and accuracy of our throwing knives. 2. External Martial Arts: Integrating the power generation techniques of Qi and Blood Martial Arts to amplify the power and accuracy of our throwing knives."

Without a second thought, Lu Ze chose option 2, since he didn't have any internal energy.

Immediately, the source point returned to 0, and information about the new throwing knife technique appeared in Lu Ze's mind.

The new throwing knife technique has added more skills in channeling force and has also included many details and techniques for launching throwing knives in actual combat, making it seem like a professional secret manual that has been passed down for many years.

Could this be something the super enhancement system stole from somewhere?

Not long after, Lu Ze arrived at the Black Tiger Martial Arts School and, as usual, got a bowl of body-strengthening soup from the cafeteria.

Each disciple in the inner courtyard received a bowl of this body-strengthening soup.

Of course, you have to pay!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ze began practicing the Nine Forms of Tendon Strengthening in the Black Tiger Body Forging Fist.

At this moment, Senior Brother Chen Xiong came over, intending to give Lu Ze some pointers, but found that Lu Ze had already mastered the Nine Forms of Tendon Refining and the body-strengthening effect was exceptionally good, so he nodded and left.

After practicing the Nine Forms of Tendon Refining for an hour, Lu Ze took out the two throwing knives he had hidden on his body, borrowed a wooden board, and began to practice a new throwing knife technique.

We'll be on patrol tonight, so for safety's sake, we need to practice and master the new knife-throwing technique as soon as possible.

Boom!Boom!

Throwing knives can hit their target every time from 100 meters away!

Many of the formal disciples were surprised when they saw this.

Most martial artists are close combatants, and Lu Ze's sharp throwing knife skills are a plus in the guarding profession, and might even increase his monthly salary.
