Chapter 12 Attack
Chen Qiyuan bought some braised pork on the way back to have a nice meal.
Chen Xiaoling, whose condition had improved and who was now able to get out of bed, muttered a complaint to herself about his wasteful spending. Sanya, smelling the meat, was already drooling.
He said with a smile, "I ran into an old acquaintance today. She gave me some money as a loan, which I will pay back later."
With this reason, he could also take out the money he got from the gambling den and use it.
"Who...who is it?"
Chen Xiaoling looked somewhat nervous.
"She's my aunt's second daughter, Hu Yuting. When she was little, she fell into a pond, and I saved her. She's always remembered my kindness, and now she's finally found a chance to repay me."
"I see."
Chen Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was just her cousin.
Chen Qiyuan knew what she was worried about, so he took her hand and said, "Aunt, I, Chen Qiyuan, have backbone. From the day they removed me from the Luo family genealogy, I took the surname Chen, and that will never change in this lifetime."
"Moreover, it won't be long before I make the Chen family's reputation surpass that of the Luo family, making them unable to reach my level."
Hearing his words, Chen Xiaoling's eyes reddened slightly. "Auntie believes you can definitely do it."
"Come on, Auntie, eat more meat and get well soon."
"Sanya, you're still growing, so eat more."
He placed the meat into his aunt's and Sanya's bowls.
Chen Xiaoling also put some food on his plate, saying, "You work hard practicing martial arts, so you should eat more."
Suddenly, an angry shout came from outside, "...Does your Blood Wolf Gang really intend to wipe us out completely?"
Upon hearing the words "Blood Wolf Gang," Chen Xiaoling's expression changed, and she quickly blew out the oil lamp, signaling the two to remain silent.
Then came a scream.
The man's voice weakened, "The...master won't...let you go..."
"Hahaha."
A burst of wild laughter rang out, "That coward Wu Tianhuan hasn't stepped out of the martial arts school for over a decade. If I don't kill you today, I'll see if he dares to come and kill me."
Then, it became quiet outside.
Chen Qiyuan waited a while, then whispered, "I'll go out and take a look."
"Xiao Yuan——"
Chen Xiaoling tried to stop him, but he was too fast and had already rushed out the door.
……
Those two people just now, one was a master from the Blood Wolf Gang, and the other was from the Wu Family Martial Arts School. I don't know which one they were.
Chen Qiyuan followed the sound to its source, but the street was deserted and every household had their doors and windows tightly shut, afraid of getting into trouble.
A short while later, he saw a person lying on the street corner.
"Who?"
The nameless martial artist was filled with fear, and your "Primordial Stance" technique seized the opportunity to steal 50 points of proficiency from him.
Fifty points?
Chen Qiyuan was overjoyed; it really was a great gift to him.
He walked out, saying, "I don't know which senior brother you are, but I'm also a disciple of the martial arts school."
By the dim moonlight, he could make out that it was a middle-aged man, whom Xiao Bi had seen at the martial arts school the other day. He was a martial artist with internal strength. Although he wasn't Wu Tianhuan's direct disciple, he usually considered himself a disciple of the martial arts school.
Upon hearing that he wasn't a member of the Blood Wolf Gang, the middle-aged man's fear vanished, and he quickly said, "Junior brother, you've come at the right time! I was ambushed by the Blood Wolf Gang and am seriously injured. Please take me back to the martial arts school quickly. I need to inform the school master."
"it is good."
Without saying a word, Chen Qiyuan went over, picked him up, and hurried away.
How could he possibly miss such an opportunity to gain proficiency?
"How should I address you, junior brother?"
During the journey, the middle-aged man on his back finally remembered to ask his name.
"My name is Chen Qiyuan. What's yours, senior brother?"
"My name is Tang Xuan. I will repay Junior Brother Chen's kindness in saving me today."
"Senior brother, you're too kind. We're all from the same sect; how could we stand idly by?"
……
Chen Qiyuan was extremely fast. Even carrying someone on his back did not slow him down much. He arrived at Wu's Martial Arts School in less than a quarter of an hour.
The martial arts gym was exceptionally quiet at night.
After a while, someone heard the news and came out.
Third senior brother Zhang Chunsheng.
Eighth Senior Sister Wen Zhenzhen.
Tenth senior brother Pang Guoyong.
There are also the fifteenth senior brother Zhao Jie and the sixteenth senior brother Liang Xin.
Tang Xuan's miserable state startled the group, who quickly inquired what had happened. Upon learning that it was an attack by experts from the Blood Wolf Gang, they were all enraged.
With a crack, a paving stone beneath Zhang Chunsheng's feet shattered. His face turned ashen. "The Blood Wolf Gang, they've gone too far!"
The others all looked angry.
[Tang Xuan was furious. Your Tiger Form Fist, Mysterious Steps, and Hundred Refinements Saber Technique each stole fifteen points of proficiency.]
[Zhang Chunsheng was furious. Your "Tiger Form Fist," "Stealth Step," and "Hundred Refinements Saber Technique" each stole ten points of proficiency.]
[Wen Zhenzhen was furious. Your Tiger Form Fist, Mysterious Step, and Hundred Refinement Saber Technique each stole ten points of proficiency.]
[Zhao Jie was furious. Your Tiger Form Fist, Mysterious Step, and Hundred Refinement Saber Technique each stole fifteen points of proficiency.]
[Liang Xin was furious. Your "Tiger Form Fist," "Stealth Step," and "Hundred Refinements Saber Technique" each stole fifteen points of proficiency.]
Five notifications popped up in front of him. Chen Qiyuan was overjoyed when he saw the numbers on them. What a great harvest!
This time, I gained nearly two hundred points of proficiency.
He lowered his head to avoid others seeing the barely suppressed smile on his face.
So cool.
Now that he had received the reward, Chen Qiyuan took the opportunity to say goodbye, "My family is waiting for me to return, so I'll head back now."
Zhang Chunsheng looked at him, his expression softening slightly, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Chen Qiyuan".
"Junior Brother Chen, you did a great job risking your life to save Senior Brother Tang."
"This is what a disciple should do."
He made a modest remark and then left the martial arts school.
……
After leaving the martial arts school, Chen Qiyuan opened the panel and took a look.
Name: Chen Qiyuan
【Technique: Hunyuan Stance (Mastery 87/500)】
【武技：虎形拳（精通144/500），迷蹤步（熟练167/200)，百鍊刀法（入门55/100）】
Each martial art technique has made considerable progress.
"If only I could put all 200 points into one martial art."
He thought with some regret that if he had put all his effort into stealth footwork, his ability to survive would have been greatly enhanced.
Just then, a prompt appeared before my eyes: "[Set one of the martial arts skills as the default skill for gaining proficiency?]"
Chen Qiyuan was taken aback. Could it be like this?
Why didn't you say so earlier?
He immediately set Tiger Form Boxing as his default exercise.
Then, it was changed to "Lost Steps".
The setup is not complicated; you only need to have the thought to bring up the corresponding page. Moreover, you can also set the order in which the cultivation techniques are plundered.
Convenient.
From now on, you can focus on improving your proficiency in one martial art.
Now, what he needs to improve most is naturally "Lost Steps".
The Blood Wolf Gang is pressing forward relentlessly, not even sparing those martial artists with close ties to the Wu Family Martial Arts School; it's clearly a fight to the death. He'll definitely be affected in the future.
Compared to fist techniques and sword techniques, the "Stealth Step" is definitely more important for survival, as it allows for both offense and escape.
Chen Qiyuan hurried home satisfied. He knew his aunt must be very worried after being away for so long.
As he approached his doorstep, he suddenly realized something.
Why are there only five notifications?
He reopened the five clues and went through them one by one. Tang Xuan, Zhang Chunsheng, Wen Zhenzhen, Zhao Jie, Liang Xin. There were indeed five people.
But there were clearly six people in the martial arts school at the time.
One person is missing.
It's Pang Guoyong!
He quickly realized what was happening and recalled that Pang Guoyong had also been furious at the time.
It must be an act.
Chen Qiyuan suddenly realized, "You bastard Pang Guoyong, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're a traitor after all!"
