Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Young Master Qiao is extremely talented and rare in the world. His future achievements are limitless!"

Uncle Fu comforted him softly, but what he said was true. The first time he saw Qiao Rui was in June last year, and he was only in the middle of the second rate at that time. Now, in just a year and a half, he has reached the peak of the first rate. Such rapid progress is truly shocking. Even His Highness himself, relying on his extraordinary skills and unlimited resources, cannot improve at such a fast speed.

"Time is running out!" The Grand Commander sighed softly, as if he was feeling a little uncomfortable. He turned over and changed his position to half-lying down. Then he asked, "Is there any movement from the Beggars' Sect in the city?"

"Nothing unusual has happened yet!" Uncle Fu shook his head and said with a smile, "With the old monks from the Humin Temple watching over us, there will be no mistakes. The Humin Temple and Shaolin Temple are from the same lineage. When the abbot, the old monk Wujue, heard that this matter concerned Qiao Rui, he immediately promised not to let a single Beggar Gang disciple go to help Lujiazhuang."

Finally, he sighed and said, "Young Master Qiao is so brilliant, everyone in Shaolin Temple treasures him very much!"

The Grand Commander couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, and his mood improved a lot. He nodded and felt relieved, and then asked: "Where are those evil women in the Holy Mother Palace? Who intercepted them? We can't let them connect with Lujiazhuang."

"Hong Gang led the team personally, and two other divine guards, Chou Niu and You Ji, followed him." Uncle Fu said.

"With the two great guards of the Thunder Department watching over them, there is no doubt that they can do nothing wrong. But Du Long is getting more and more presumptuous. He even colluded with border forces to harm the people of the Central Plains. He is so audacious and unforgivable. Since he took over the Beggars' Sect, his ambition has expanded greatly. This time, we have to teach him a lesson." The commander-in-chief said hatefully, a hint of fierceness flashed in his phoenix eyes. If it were not inconvenient for him, he would definitely make him pay.

Then he thought of Qiao Rui again, his face fell, and he smiled bitterly: "Knowing that he was in danger but not helping him, I don't know if he will blame me in the future."

"No, Your Highness has made all the painstaking arrangements for Da Xia... and for yourselves."

"Well... I hope he can understand!" The Grand Commander wrapped himself in the quilt. He didn't know why he felt uncomfortable today. He was afraid that it might be...

"Ouch!" The Grand Commander suddenly cried out in surprise, feeling unbearable pain in his abdomen and a series of contractions and spasms.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Fu asked in panic.

The Grand Commander's face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his smooth forehead.

"The little enemy...is coming out!"

……

"when!"

Qiao Rui used his powerful move to chop Huashan on Hongmei's soft sword, causing a crisp sound of metal clashing.

But although he had clearly hit something solid, Qiao Rui felt as if he was chopping cotton with a knife, soft and mushy with no point of force, which made him feel very suffocated and uncomfortable.

Hong Mei's soft sword bent slightly, and then the sword body wrapped around the Obsidian Soul-Breaking Knife, and the tip of the sword went straight to Qiao Rui's wrist, like a poisonous snake poking its head out.

Qiao Rui's eyes focused, and a strong and violent internal force surged out instantly. He shook his right hand holding the knife violently, shaking off Hong Mei's soft sword. Even Hong Mei himself took a step back.

"Your internal strength is quite good. Let's see how long you can last!" Hong Mei snorted coldly. It was somewhat embarrassing for her, a top master, to not be able to get a first-rate level. Even if Qiao Rui was at the peak of the first-rate level, he was still only first-rate. He lacked the realm. If the twelve meridians were not completely opened, he could not start practicing the eight extraordinary meridians, and could not produce a qualitative leap. How could he be the enemy of the top masters?

But even so, she still had some admiration for Qiao Rui. This man had a strange way of exerting his strength, and he could always use 100% of his strength in the first instant. He was really brave and powerful. Moreover, he used his internal strength in such a vigorous way and did not appear exhausted for such a long time. It was really not easy. No wonder Hua Zhu Yu Lu looked at him differently.

Yu Lu on the side looked at Qiao Rui, who was like a god of war in the field, with a complicated expression and a hint of resentment in her blurred eyes.

This man was covered in blood, and was obviously no match for Redberry, but why did people not dare to underestimate him? His fierce and unmatched moves, coupled with his indomitable momentum, were truly fascinating!

I first heard of this man because of the "Three Gourds Don't Leave the City" incident. Then I heard that this young innkeeper made a scene in court for a woman, forcing the county magistrate to postpone the case...

The first time I saw this man was at the Shushan disciple-recruiting ceremony. Qiao Rui was truly full of ambition and unparalleled. He first defeated Debuba, a disciple of the Great Snow Mountain, and then defeated Ouyang Qian, the heir of the White Camel Villa. Then, in a rage for his beloved, he jumped to fight against Jia Renyi, the eight-bag elder of the Beggar Gang, and confronted Shushan...

But at that time, he didn't recognize himself.

The next time I saw him was during the Luoyang Oiran Contest, when I was bathing. At first I thought he was a rapist who was trying to steal my beauty, but I didn't expect him to make a bet with someone and come to help me. That scene was hilarious just thinking about it...

Until recently, he came to Yunyu Tower to find me... Why didn't he obey me? At that time, I already knew that he was investigating the case of the missing child, but I still had fantasies about him...

But he should never, ever take away my Xiao Yunlei. Even though Murong Hanyan is annoying, that's only between her and me. Anyone else who dares to take Xiao Yunlei's advantage deserves to die.

Yu Lu's face darkened, her eyes gradually fierce. She flicked the whip and said to Hong Mei in a rare commanding tone: "Flower protector, take him down quickly!"

Hongmei felt a chill in her heart, knowing that Huazhu was really angry, so she no longer hesitated, and suddenly shook the soft sword. Her figure was like a startled wild goose, and she rushed forward like a phantom.

The body of the Ziwei soft sword trembled slightly, and it drew a mysterious trajectory. The sword light flickered unsteadily, forming a magical sword flower that bloomed around Qiao Rui.

In an instant, Qiao Rui was surrounded by sword shadows filled with murderous intent from all directions. Hong Mei and his sword made Qiao Rui feel that there was no way forward or backward, as if he was ambushed from all sides.

The fatal blow of a top master is indeed extraordinary.

But Qiao Rui was calm and fearless. No matter how you change, I can break it with one sword!

He concentrated his mind and gathered his strength. His internal force circulated frantically, connecting his meridians and acupoints one by one. His momentum rose steadily, and the barrier that had been blocked for so long seemed to loosen.

The Obsidian Soul-Breaking Sword was slowly raised, and under the guidance of the Qi, undercurrents surged and wind and thunder moved faintly.

Suddenly, Qiao Rui took a step forward and slashed with his long sword diagonally. The violent internal force that was instantly output turned into a rolling heat wave and rushed straight towards Hongbing.

Despite such a shocking blow, Hong Mei's expression did not change at all, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery on the corner of her mouth. She expected that Qiao Rui would use force to defeat her cleverness, and this was part of her calculation from the beginning.

Hong Mei leaned back suddenly without leaving the ground, and turned half a circle with her right foot as the center, barely avoiding the hot sword energy generated by the Burning Wood Sword Technique. At the same time, her upper body circled to the side of Qiao Rui, and with a flick of her wrist, the soft sword turned back and pointed at Qiao Rui's heart.

This change of move was unexpected, fast and sharp, and the angle of the sword was tricky and vicious, making it really hard to defend against.

Qiao Rui felt awe in his heart, seeing that his opponent not only broke his all-out attack, but also used a series of killing moves. He leaned forward at this moment, his moves were old, his internal strength was running out, and a breath of foul air was blocked in his chest, and he was about to hit the tip of Hong Mei's sword.

In a flash, Qiao Rui desperately activated his Dantian, gathered all the internal strength in his body and poured it into his right hand. He forcibly reversed the momentum of the knife and slashed it horizontally, sweeping away Hong Mei's Ziwei soft sword.

"Ding!" The two separated.

For a moment, all the internal force in Qiao Rui's body was gone, but then all the meridians in his body suddenly became connected, and the twelve main meridians and the twelve branch meridians were connected to all the energy points. The new internal force was like a surging river, filling up his dantian.

He could not help but let out a light whistle, and his whole aura changed, as if he was reborn.

"top notch?"

Hongmei raised her eyebrows, "So what if I can reach the top? It just takes a little more effort!"

After saying that, he flicked his wrist, the soft sword made a clanging sound, and he started another killing move.

Just at this moment, a firework rose in the sky above the backyard of Lujiazhuang, forming a pattern of a xiezhi.

The three people in the field looked up at the same time.

"Skyguard?"

Hongmei's color finally changed, and she suddenly flashed and came to Yulu's side.

"go!"

The two of them exerted their strength at the same time, and before Qiao Rui could react, they used their skills and disappeared into the snowy night.

Qiao Rui felt relieved. Since the flare arrows had been fired, he thought that Senior Sister Feng and the others must have escaped.

Step out of the deadly place and you will be reborn!

Dozens of miles away in Longxing City, on Hongque Street, Wenjiaofang, and Banyue Lane, a new life was held by a midwife. The baby opened its mouth, and a clear cry resounded throughout the Qiao residence...
