Cantabile Youth

His words made me a little displeased. I couldn't help but ask, "No, Teacher. Why aren't you accepting me? It's not like I'm not paying. I'll pay as much as I can for everyone else. Why aren't you accepting me?"

Master Li looked me up and down, and it was only then that I noticed that his eyes were especially lively, and that there was a very strong aura about them. I was a little afraid, but I was not going to give in.

After a moment, he looked at me and said, "You are not a big kid, but you are very stubborn. You are a martial arts student, but with your personality, when you learn it, you will definitely go out and cause trouble. When the police come looking for me, I will have to change places."

I didn't understand what I was saying, and how could he be so sure that I would cause trouble for him? I feel that I am rather good-looking, unlike those other hoodlums who look like evil fiends.

I later learned that there was a reason why Master Li didn't accept me. He had once taught a student in Hong Kong, and that student had a high aptitude, and was considered his most favorite disciple. Originally, Master Li wanted to train him to fight in a competition, but that student killed him in a competition and was then sent to the Dragon City to teach.

According to him, that person's eyes were the same as mine, the kind that never gives in. Thus, when he first saw me, he treated me and his disciple as the same kind of people.

Let's talk about it now. I didn't have a good impression of the dojo at first, because it's pretty lousy. I don't think Master Li has much skill in breaking the dojo, or else there would be no lack of students.

But as soon as I arrived, he directly said that he wouldn't accept it, which was a bit of a blow to me. At that time, he was still young, and was quite rebellious; if he didn't accept me, I would have to learn from him.

I promised Master Li that I wouldn't cause trouble if I learned this thing. I was just bored and wanted to strengthen my body. Even I wouldn't believe such words, much less him.

He refused to let me go no matter what I said, and Yu Che also helped me. All sorts of promises, this Master Li was quite stubborn. He refused to accept me, so he simply ignored me and went to teach his three students.

He taught me how, but why did he not teach me? He couldn't help but whisper, "If you don't teach me, then don't teach me. Do you really think there's only one dojo in the Dragon City? I think you don't have much ability here, why don't you just teach me?"

After saying that, I was about to leave when one of the students stood up and said to me, "Brat, do you dare to repeat what you just said?"

A young man appeared. He was wearing a black vest and looked to be a few years older than me. It was probably due to my words that made him a little unhappy.

I, Hui Guotoukan, said to him, "I'm not wrong. If he really has the ability, why didn't he teach me? He probably sees that I'm smart and is afraid that I'll see that he doesn't have the ability, so he can only trick you idiots."

At that time, I was also in a bad mood, I just said whatever I wanted, how could I know why that person wasn't provoked, and directly wanted to come and kill me. However, Yu Che pulled him away, saying as he pulled at him, "Senior Apprentice Brother Xie, give me face, this person was brought here by me."

When Senior Apprentice Brother Xie told Yu Che to move away, he made it difficult. He didn't care and pointed at me, "Kid, this isn't a place for you to behave atrociously. Remember, in this Dragon City, no one is stronger than my master!"

I hated it when others pointed at me. I shouted, "Keep bragging! You don't even dare to teach me, how can you go there with your abilities?"

He wanted to teach me a good lesson, so it was difficult for Yu Che to stand in the middle. I thought that since he had already brought me here and I shouldn't cause trouble for him, I said to Yu Che, "You should get out of the way. Let me see how capable this dojo is, it's good enough to let me see if I can recruit anyone!"

Yu Che was helpless and could only give way. I'm prepared to fight him if he dares to charge.

The Senior Apprentice Brother Xie was not anxious at all. He first raised a finger and said, "If you can stand up in a minute, and Master does not accept you, I will teach you for free!"

This sentence made me feel a little humiliated. No matter how amazing you are, it's impossible for me to not be able to stand up within a minute. I, Chen Ge, can't do anything else, it's just that I'm good at resisting.

I said that it was alright, so Senior Apprentice Brother Xie spoke a few words to Master Li, probably to discuss about my matter. Master Li sighed, waved his hand, and Senior Apprentice Brother Xie walked towards me.

As soon as Yu Che picked up his phone, he started to count down. Senior Apprentice Brother Xie waved his hand towards me and I was quite curious as to how strong he was and how dare he act so wildly.

I knew that all these martial artists had a plan, so I planned to use the same move as last time against Yu Che and knock him to the ground first. As I rushed over, I extended my hands and directly grabbed his waist, preparing to press him down, but he was already prepared for that, and before my left hand could even touch him, he opened it up. Then he used one hand to grab my right hand and pulled me to the side, I wanted to break free, but his other hand had already turned into a fist, smashing into my chest.

I wanted to dodge back then, but it was too late. His punching speed was extremely fast, even faster than my blinking speed. His entire body didn't even have the time to react before his chest received a forceful blow.

But it wasn't over yet. After punching me once, he releases his grip on me and with a turn of his body, he sent a 120 degree kick towards my face. I was immediately knocked down.

Lying on the ground, I felt pain in my chest and in my face. Looking at the ceiling, I didn't want to get up at all, but I couldn't be terrified. I had to hold on for at least a minute, or else it would be too embarrassing.

Senior Apprentice Brother Xie probably didn't know how thin I was, how I was able to stand up after taking two blows from him. In his eyes, there was a little surprise, I steadied my body, and thought in my heart, if I meet him head on, I won't be able to fight back, I can only be a little tricky.

But before I could even think about it, this Senior Apprentice Brother Xie rushed over and kicked me on the stomach. Let alone dodging, I couldn't even see him clearly.

However, when he kicked me, it looked like he didn't use much strength. However, when the back of his foot hit my stomach, I felt a great strength. My body involuntarily shrank backwards and I was about to fall again.

Luckily I had a flash of inspiration, and as I fell, I cursed out loud. At the same time, I casually kicked out with my leg, and that kick actually hit him, and it even hit his leg. Anyway, Senior Apprentice Brother Xie's expression wasn't good at that time, and even Yu Che couldn't help but laugh.

When I fell to the ground, I immediately got up and wanted to continue doing it while the pain didn't come. That Senior Apprentice Brother Xie didn't charge up this time, but just rubbed his legs against the ground, I knew that he was enduring.

I thought that this was an opportunity. While he was still sick, I rushed up to him, but unexpectedly, he just stood there without moving. Taking advantage of my momentum, he lowered his body and grabbed my waist, then directly threw me over my shoulder.

I flew through the air and landed solidly on the ground. I felt that my back was about to break, but this time, I really didn't want to get up. The pain from before was unceasing, as if every bone in my body was hurting.

When I asked Yu Che how long it was still going to take, he said that there were still 10 seconds. The Senior Apprentice Brother Xie, seeing that I was still holding on, couldn't bear to fight anymore and only looked at me, "In these 10 seconds, I won't touch you. If you stand up, it'll be considered your win!"

After saying that, he cupped his fists together and looked at me. I used one hand to support myself from the ground and slowly stood up. I gritted my teeth as I finally half stood up.

In the end, I clenched my teeth and all the muscles in my body trembled as I stood up. The Senior Apprentice Brother Xie sighed and smiled bitterly at me.

After Yu Che said that the time was up, I immediately fell flat on the ground, scaring him enough that he hurriedly came over to ask if I was alright. I told him that I was, along the way he said that he was, then he placed a cigarette in my mouth and lit it for me.

I just lay on the ground and smoked, not wanting to move, not even flicking my cigarette, just looking at Master Li to see how he would react.

Master Li came over and helped me up, then said to all of their students: "This person will be your junior brother from now on, Xie Shuai, I'll leave it to you to teach him basic martial arts!"

As soon as I heard what he was saying, I knew he was willing to take me in.

Xie Shuai was the Senior Apprentice Brother Xie just now. After Master Li finished speaking, he pushed me to Xie Shuai, who helped me rest to the side, and even praised me for my perseverance, saying that normally, adults would not be able to get up from the ground with a single kick.

I smiled wryly at him. By the way, I'm sorry for what I just said.

Xie Shuai said that he was fine. It is normal for people to have this kind of reaction when they see our dojo being destroyed.

I asked curiously, "How long has our dojo been open for? Why are there only these few people?"

Xie Shuai sighed: "It has already been half a year, and the main reason is because master is too picky. Others are picking master, but he chose disciple, those with bad character do not want it, those with no perseverance do not want it, those who like to fight do it do not want it, to be honest, didn't we learn it just for the sake of being cool, the people who came here saw how broken our dojo is, how can there be any rules, no one else wants to learn it, if not leave, they will be chased away by master!"

I think this Master Li's temper is quite strange, but I think it's true. Isn't this what all otherworldly experts are like?
