Super Prestige System

Chapter 31 Peak of Darkness ([-] votes plus update)

Zhou Ding was quite puzzled; because today the same sect gathered, there was no arrangement to meet with his disciples and grandchildren.Looking back at the master and the senior brothers, everyone smiled and said nothing.

Turning his head to look at the fellow nephews, all of them looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, and they looked high-spirited, Zhou Ding smiled wryly, and said to these brats: "Good boy, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy!"

After the little girl saluted, she showed a look of anticipation and asked, "Little Master Uncle, where is our gift?"

Zhou Ding took the number of swords in the box according to the number of nephews, and now it is empty.

Zhou Ding counted the naughty children of these disciples and grandchildren, there were fifteen in total, and together with his junior brother Wang Xiangzhai, there were a total of 16 people.He winked at the butler and made a sign of sixteen, signaling the butler to bring sixteen more swords.

The housekeeper left knowingly, Zhou Ding said to the bear children: "The gift will arrive soon, don't worry, just wait a moment!"

"Is it also a sharp sword?"

The little girl took the lead in asking, and the brats behind her agreed.

Zhou Ding nodded and said, "That's right, it's exactly the same as your master and uncle's sword, do you like it?"

The bear kids all expressed their love for it.

Zhou Ding asked: "Whose apprentices are you all? Report your names, and let's get to know each other."

The little girl took the lead and said: "My name is Li Yue, and my grandfather is your elder brother!"

A little fat man continued: "My name is Li Hu, and my grandfather is your second senior brother!"

"My name is……"

Every time the little ones reported, Zhou Ding glanced back, but saw that his brother and nephew were flattered, and Zhou Ding could not help but slander: "You are so thick-skinned!"

After the children introduced themselves, the housekeeper happened to arrive with a sword. Zhou Ding, from the oldest to the youngest, shared one with each of them.

Li Yue drew out the sword directly and gave Li Hu a wink. Li Hu, the fat man, nodded in understanding, pulled out the short sword he was wearing from his waist, and slashed with Li Yue.

Either because of Li Yue's lack of strength, or because of the high quality of the little fat man's dagger, Li Yue did not cut off the little fat man's dagger this time, but there was also a half-deep gap in the dagger. .

The martial arts people around said: "Wow! I didn't expect that the swords given to these brats are also sharp weapons that cut iron like mud!"

"Yeah, I thought it was just a kid?"

"Master Guo, this closed disciple, is really extraordinary!"

"Yes, yes, I don't know where it comes from?"

"I quietly asked the servants of the Guo Mansion, and I heard that Mr. Zhou's ancestors were survivors of the former Song Dynasty, and later fled overseas to avoid war!"

Some of the nephews whispered, "Oh, why didn't I bring my son? What a great opportunity. If I miss today, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to get this magic weapon again!"

A person next to him said: "Your son is only three years old, are you embarrassed?"

"What's wrong with the three-year-old, the three-year-old is also my son, as long as he is my son, he is the junior of the little uncle! Lost!"

"If you say so, my daughter is five years old, is it a loss?"

"Loss, big loss!"

The bear children left happily, and the little senior brother Wang Xiangzhai kept his eyes on the sword in Zhou Ding's hand. Seeing that Zhou Ding didn't give him any intention, he turned to Zhou Ding, pretended to cough twice, and silently stretched out his right hand.

Zhou Ding pretended to be ignorant, and said, "Little senior brother, what's the matter?"

Wang Xiangzhai became anxious: "You still have a sword left in your hand, can you give it to me?"

Zhou Ding really didn't want a brat to be his senior brother, so he made things difficult for Wang Xiangzhai. Seeing him reaching out to ask for it, he shook his head in embarrassment and said:

"No, these gifts are for juniors. It's not suitable for junior brothers!"

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"I only have one sword left in my hand. If I give it to you, what will the other senior brothers do? Wouldn't it be fair to each other!"

"Can you really not give it?"

"unless……"

Wang Xiangzhai said anxiously, "Unless what?"

Zhou Ding chuckled: "Unless I am a senior and you are a senior, and the senior gives it to the junior, the other seniors have nothing to say!"

Hearing these words, Wang Xiangzhai's face was full of embarrassment and entanglement.No matter how famous Wang Xiangzhai will be in the world in the future, he is just an eleven or twelve-year-old brat now, no matter how he is Zhou Ding's opponent.

Zhou Ding turned around to leave, shook his head and sighed: "If you don't want to, forget it!"

Wang Xiangzhai hurriedly grabbed Zhou Ding, and said with a chuckle: "Senior brother!"

Zhou Ding was very happy, he laughed, and handed the sword in his hand to Wang Xiangzhai: "Junior brother, go ahead! You will know in the future that being my junior brother has many benefits!"

After the initiation ceremony, Zhou Ding sent his brothers and nephews away and calmed down, ignoring what was going on outside the window and focusing only on practicing his skills.

Zhou Ding is the closed disciple of Mr. Guo. The so-called closed disciples, to a certain extent, are all the master's favorite disciples except for the top disciples!
Therefore, in addition to Xingyi Wuxingquan, Mr. Guo passed Bajiquan and Lihua Daqiang to Zhou Ding.

Three months later, Zhou Ding returned to reality and taught Bajiquan to Long Zhuang. The reputation of Long Zhuang and Zhou Ding has reached admiration, and he is the only one who has reached admiration with Zhou Ding. Such a hardcore supporter, It is natural to cultivate well.

Xingyiquan has twelve shapes: dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, snake, rooster, swallow, harrier, 鼍, mackerel, eagle, and bear.

Zhou Ding has a merit cultivation system to help him, so it is easy to learn it, but he will learn it.The tiger shape, eagle shape, and bear shape he worked the most on, but the effect is very poor.Mr. Guo said: Zhou Ding's personality is very unattached to the three species of tiger, eagle and black bear.

Master Guo recommended him to specialize in dragon form.The dragon shape's requirements for practitioners are fairly close to Zhou Ding's personality, and only by choosing a suitable cultivation practice can we get twice the result with half the effort.

Nine months later, Zhou Ding broke through from Ming Jin to Dark Jin, and after another fifteen months, Zhou Ding's cultivation reached the peak of Dark Jin, only one step away from Hua Jin.

"Huo Yuanjia" World In May 1898, Mr. Guo called Zhou Ding to his side, and said kindly: "Chongde, you have worshiped under the teacher for more than two years. I never thought that you To be able to achieve such a cultivation level within two years.

As far as I know, over the past hundred years, even for a martial artist with outstanding aptitude, it will take at least ten years of hard work from being exposed to martial arts to reaching the peak of dark energy. Years, what's more, most warriors will never be able to step into the dark energy in their entire lives.

As a teacher is approaching old age, it is worthwhile to have a closed-door disciple with such monstrous qualifications as you! "

Zhou Ding's own family knew about his family affairs. How could he have reached his current level without the assistance of his reputation cultivation function?On the surface, he has practiced for more than two years. If the bonus of his cultivation function is included, it means he has practiced for more than twenty years. With such qualifications, he can barely be regarded as an ordinary warrior.

Modestly said to Mr. Guo: "Master, it's a great compliment, it's all because of the master's teaching!"

Mr. Guo smiled kindly and said: "Excessive modesty is pride. When your kung fu has reached your level of cultivation, practicing behind closed doors is no longer effective. Now, what you need is 'enlightenment'. Once you have enlightenment in your heart, you will have the opportunity to enter Huajin."

Zhou Ding asked: "Master, how should I enlighten?"

Mr. Guo shook his head and said: "The master can't teach you about this, go outside and experience it. Recently, there is a non-governmental organization called the Boxer Regiment, which is very popular. Your second senior brother Li Cunyi is very close to this organization. , I am very worried as a teacher. What do you think of the boxer organization?"

Zhou Ding replied: "At the end of last year, Germany sent troops to occupy Jiaozhou Bay on the pretext that its overseas residents were killed. At the beginning of this year, the Russian army stationed in Lushun in the northeast, and the United Kingdom and France sent troops to occupy Weihai and Guangzhou Bay respectively. The people were very disappointed with the Qing government. The Boxers took advantage of the situation and rose up under the banner of 'helping the Qing and destroying the foreigners', and their power grew stronger and stronger!
Tu'er has some knowledge of this organization. The composition of this organization is very complicated. There are members of the Great Sword Society, members of militia groups from various places, and most importantly, members of the White Lotus Sect. "

Mr. Guo sighed, and said: "It stands to reason that your senior brother intends to serve the country, and as a teacher, you should not stop him. However, as a teacher, you are not optimistic about the Boxers. You should go there on your behalf and try your best to persuade your second senior brother to let him leave the Boxer Regiment." .”

Zhou Ding knew: Master’s worry is not unreasonable. Although there are many heroes in the Boxer Regiment, there is no clear leader, let alone a clear teaching. Groups are bound to perish.

Brother, whether he is willing to destroy the oceans or fight against the Qing Dynasty, he can join his subordinates, why bother to sacrifice his life for others?
It's a pity that I have no power, no wings, and I can't persuade my seniors to join me. It's better to go to the Boxer Regiment first, and recruit some good men by the way. After the Boxer Regiment fails, they will be used by me.
