Chapter 259 -Roaring Tiger Booming Thunder
For any master, their moods would be mostly determined by how well their disciples performed.
The more awesome their disciples were, the more it would give their masters face.
It was already the afternoon. Wei Xiao Bei did not go to the Long Hu Dou Restaurant anymore. He might as well just look for more information from the computer.
The age of information was truly very advantageous.
One advantage was how easy it was to find information and data.
In less than a minute, Wei Xiao Bei had found a lot of materials about the BSerpent.
Then he looked at the history and origin of the White Tower as well as the Bai Ta County.
Originally, the forebearers living in the Bai Ta County during the Shang Dynasty were called Ban Deng Barbarians.
At that time, they were not under the central authority of the dynasty, so they were called barbarians.
Places like Bai Ta County being called the land of barbarians was natural during those times. After all, the amount of land managed by the Shang Dynasty was only the Central Plains.
It was said that the Ban Deng Barbarians had a fearsome ability!
They were able to domesticate BSerpents!
Everyone knows that a BSerpent was a giant snake. A BSerpent swallowing an elephant whole was how its meals were described.
They were as big as a a range of hills!
In short, these were giant creatures during ancient times!
Lions, tigers, elephants, and other large animals were nothing in front of the BSerpent as it could swallow them all whole.
Just like that, the legend of the BSerpent was passed down in the Bai Ta County. However, these kinds of legends were very weak in present times. Even Wei Xiao Bei who was born and lived in Bai Ta County for so long had never heard of it before.
No matter what was said, a BSerpent existed in the Bai Ta County Dust World. Moreover, it was probably a young one.
After thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei began to plan a date to go back to Bai Ta County. Let alone others, just the BSerpent aura on his body alone should allow him to gain some benefits.
Next, Wei Xiao Bei began to search for languages, Chinese medicine ingredients, and other such information.
Language was very useful for Wei Xiao Bei.
After watching a few language tutorials on Northern European languages, he noticed that everything was as he had guessed. The Einherjars' language was the similar to Swedish and Norwegian.
However, learning the language only through the videos was going to be difficult. He would need to at least find a teacher.
Wei Xiao Bei took note of this first. As for the languages, he decided to prioritize English and French since these two languages were commonly used around the world.
After all, carelessly going to the Dust World of other countries might happen in the future.
He also needed to learn how to swim and how to identify medicinal plants.
There was so much that he needed to learn.
At this moment, Wei Xiao Bie felt that time was not enough.
He only finished at 2 a.m. and then went to sleep.
At 5 a.m., Wei Xiao Bei arrived at the outer practice field in high spirits.
After training for a while, Zhu Xin Yi appeared in a white training uniform. After greeting Wei Xiao Bei, she began her training.
Huang Kun was a lot later than them, but he immediately started by going under the tree to train his Iron Mountain Lean.
After giving the both of them pointers, he went to the side and trained his qi.
What surprised Wei Xiao Bei was that drinking the Spring Water of Youth previously had expanded his blood channels a lot, and eating the BSerpent Grass had expanded it by one level.
As he trained his qi, his qi flowed through his blood channels. Even when it flowed to his newly regrown left hand, it did not move strangely at all. After one big cycle, Wei Xiao Bei felt a faint itch on his throat. After a bit of feeling around, he had understood that he had broken through to the peak of negative jing.
The amount of time Wei Xiao Bei trained his qi was quite long. As it continuously increased, he had unconsciously broken through and became emotional at this realization.
After training, Wei Xiao Bei did not stop. As he tried to recall it, he changed into a different stane that he had never used before.
He split his legs and crouched like a tiger, as if he was a tiger about to catch its prey and swayed with the air.
This was the Roaring Tiger Booming Thunder Stance!
This was a stance to recuperate ones internal organs!
This stance was well known in different martial arts schools and sects, but those people capable of training in it had been decreasing throughout the times.
This stance was something that you could only train once you reached the peak of negative jing!
If a person forcefully uses this stance to train, they could harm their internal organs and become permanently delirious.
Because of this, Wei Xiao Bei had never used this stance before even if he learned of it.
Training in this stance without sufficient amount of qi was very dangerous.
As Wei Xiao Bei used his inner sight, he could see that his qi was flowing continuously. After passing through a few acupuncture points, it would cause some effects in his various organs.
However, the primary organ was the lungs.
Every time his qi flowed to the acupuncture points related to his lungs, Wei Xiao Bei's lungs would feel numb, and he almost coughed a few times.
He knew that this was a phenomenon that would happen when using this stance for the first time. His qi flowed through his blood channels and affect his lungs, causing his lungs to discharge all impurities. It was like how a person would breathe in too much dust that was not caught by their nose hair and throat, accumulating in their lungs and calcifying.
However, if he coughed it out, the qi would also leak out, causing his training to be a waste.
Thus Wei Xiao Bei tried to endure it.
Gradually, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if ants were moving around his lungs, causing it to be extremely unpleasant.
In the end, Wei Xiao Bei could not endure anymore. His lungs contracted an he coughed out, causing qi and air to flow out. In an instant, he let out a tiger-like roar that echoed through the practice grounds.
In an instant, Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun, who were both training, moved their attention on him and saw that Wei Xiao Bei was swaying as he let out his voice.
After a period of time, the sound reached its peak, becoming a thunderous boom.
As he stopped training, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but let out a few more coughs and black blood clots.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Xin Yi could not help but be surprised and hurriedly more to Wei XIao Bei's side to support him. Afterwards, she nervously asked him, "Master, are you okay?"
Wei Xiao Bei patted Zhu Xin Yi's shoulders and smiled, "I'm fine. I only spat out the clotted blood."
Wei Xiao Bei's words were not wrong as he was rather happy.
He never imagined that he could cause the booming thunder in the first time. Being able to roar like a tiger was already not bad feat.
When he was about to end, his blood channels expanded to tir limits and turned the roaring tiger into booming thunder.
This stance originally borrowed the the roar of a tiger or the boom of a thunder to heal the internal organs and remove hidden blood clots to strengthen the internal organs.
The roar of the tiger was only the initial stage while the boom of a thunder was the one that had special effects.
In just one thunderous boom, the blood clots inside Wei Xiao Bei had been forced out, getting rid of hidden damages.
It must be known that Wei Xiao Bei's status had made him strong and robust, but injuries in the skin and internal organs could have hidden blood clots that were almost unremovable. Moreover, his internal organs were not affected by his muscle's strengthening.
The Roaring Tiger Booming Thunder Stance was something that could deal with this problem.
Naturally, getting rid of all of them in just one time was an impossible thing to do.
After eating breakfast, Wei Xiao Bei drove his minivan to the Long Hu Dou Restaurant for work.
For Wei Xiao Bei to not come to work for more than 10 days, Huang Jun was slightly dissatisfied and brought him into the office as he educated him. Only then did he let him go.
Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei's [Cooking] skill had reached expert rank. The dishes that he made now were a lot better than the ones he made before 10 days ago.
Regarding this, Wei Xiao Bei was happy. After thanking Huang Jun, he began the life of working alone.
As for Huang Jun, whenever he had idle time, he would teach Wei Xiao Bei something. With Wei Xiao Bei's current memory, he could remember everything. Even if Huang Jun gave surprise questions, Wei Xiao Bei could answer them with ease. This made Hung Jun's smile even brighter.
After busying himself for one day, Wei Xiao Bei had not only increased his cooking knowledge, but he had also finished more than 50 for this [Cooking] skill's requirement.
After all, Wei Xiao Bei had just began working alone, so Huang Jun did not dare put too much pressure on him. In total, Wei Xiao Bei had finished more than 100 dishes, and half of them fulfilled the requirements.
It must be known that his status panel was very strict in accepting requirements. Even if Huang Jun had ok'ed the dish, the status panel might not.
Wei Xiao Bei got off work at 7 in the night.
When he rushed back to the dojo, the English teacher that he hired from the internet had already been waiting there for quite a while.
Huang Kun could not understand why his master suddenly wanted to learn English.
For Huang Kun, his current life was too blessed. He did not need to go to school and did not need to go to work. He did not even need to go play with his classmates.
He treated learning as an unbearable torture.
Zhu Xin Yi on the other hand was unsatisfied. Her English was also quite good. Although she was not as good as those who took English as their academic courses, there should be no problem for her to teach her master.
Chapter 260 - The Benefits of the BSerpent Aura
After the English teacher left, Zhu Xin Yi let out her complaints. Wei Xiao Bei had not thought about this, so he immediately appeased her. After that, he pulled Zhu Xin Yi aside in order to have her teach him.
In learning languages, having a conversation with another person in the same language was a lot more efficient than learning alone.
Even training in martial arts required another person to spar with to be able to improve properly.
After learning for most of the night, Wei Xiao Bei looked at his status panel, but no language skills such as English appeared.
It seems that English is not easy to learn.
In the next day, Wei Xiao Bei took a vacation from work to bring Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun to the Cui Hu City Gymnasium.
Cui Hu City Gymnasium had Cui Hu City's largest swimming pool.
Wei Xiao Bei brought the two of them for one thing, swimming!
In Wei Xiao Bei's eyes Zhu Xin Yi was now considered a multi-talented person.
Other than English, Zhu Xin Yi was also an expert swimmer.
Thus, Wei Xiao Bei had brought Zhu Xin Yi out. As for Huang Kun, he also pleaded with Wei Xiao Bei that he also wanted to go. Since Wei Xiao Bei thought that swimming was also an important skill, he also brought him along. After all, no one knew what could happen in the Dust World.
In times of necessity, swimming might even be able to save a life!
The season was already late autumn, so the weather had been mixed with a slight chill. Thus, when they arrived at the swimming pool, they saw that there were not many people there.
If it was in the summer, there would be a vast crowd of people sticking together in the pool.
Now, there was a lot of space for Wei Xiao Bei and company to enjoy swimming.
When Wei Xiao Bei jumped in the water, he could feel a sense of intimacy with the water.
Wei Xiao Bei had initially thought that this was an illusion, but after Zhu Xin Yi taught him for a while, Wei Xiao Bei was already able to dive in the pool and swim with ease.
This kind of intimacy with water seemed as if it was an inborn talent.
When Zhu Xin Yi had taught him the swimming posture, Wei Xiao Bei felt a bit awkward in using it. Soon after, he used his own swimming method that was most comfortable for him.
For a person like Wei Xiao Bei, once they gained familiarity with something, it was easy to imagine how fast they could make progress.
In just a few moments, Wei Xiao Bei had already made 3 laps on the pool.
At this points, Wei Xiao Bei understood that this had a relationship to the BSerpent aura.
He never imagined that the aura still had this kind of advantage. Thinking about it, snakes were innate swimmers, especially for a giant snake like the BSerpent.
Splash. Wei Xiao Bei's head came out of the water and wiped off the water with his hands. Then he heard someone talk beside him, "Bro, not bad. Which team are you from?"
Wei Xiao Bei looked to his side with wide eyes.
It was a youth with a pretty good body type that was around 22 years old, which was close to Wei Xiao Bei's age.
"Team?" Wei Xiao Bei was puzzled, but he understood in the next moment.
"My name is Qu Xin, Qu Yuan's successor and part of the city's swimming team."
His voice was full of teasing as he extended his hand. Wei Xiao Bei grasped his hand and smiled, "Mine is Wei Xiao Bei, Wei Qing is my ancestor. I am not part of any team. I'm just playing around."
"Not part of a team? Your swimming is so good! Looking at your speed, it should be able to beat the national record!"
Qu Xin did not dare believe it. He did not dare believe that experts could hide among the crowd.
Although Wei Xiao Bei did not consciously record his speed, his calculation ability and his memory was able to tell him his speed.
He had swam three laps around the pool which was more than 420 meters, and his time was 3 minutes and 44.37 seconds!
Moreover, he was still swimming in a relaxed manner.
Wei Xiao Bei remembered that the national record was 3 minutes and 40.14 seconds for a 400 meter distance while the newest world record was 3 minutes and 40.07 seconds for a 400 meter distance!
In other words, if Wei Xiao Bei swam a 400 meter distance, then he might be able to break the world record.
After calculating this, he guessed that he could be twice as fast when he goes all out! If he used his newly obtained [Intermediate Power Burst], then his speed would even be faster!
At the very least, he would need to try it again to find out.
After all, [Intermediate Power Burst] was the ability Wei Xiao Bei received when his muscle attribute reached 40 points, upgrading from [Elementary Power Burst].
Because he had never used it before, Wei Xiao Bei did not know how much power it would give him. However, no matter what was said, it was definitely a lot stronger than [Elementary Power Burst].
After this, Wei Xiao Bei became happy. If he went to join the Olympics, he would have been able to win a lot of gold medals.
Naturally, he was only thinking of this in his mind. Wei Xiao Bei would never expose himself like that. If he was suddenly asked how he got so strong, then he would not know how to explain it.
However, Wei Xiao Bei's smiling expression gave Qu Xin some thoughts. He tried asking Wei Xiao Bei, "Brother Wei, are you interested in joining our swimming team?"
Wei Xiao Bei was stunned and found it a bit funny, "Don't worry about me. I won't try to steal your livelihood."
This Qu Xin did not pay attention to his excuses and waved his hand, "Don't mind it. In any case, the city team can only reach such a level, earning more achievements would be difficult, so it's better to find an expert and bring them back. It would give me a lot more face."
This was a recruitment, but Wei Xiao Bei would never go join some swimming team. Moreover, Qu Xin was also only a member, so he might not have such an authority.
Naturally, the most important question was still about time. If he had the time to go join some swimming team, he would rather use that time to go learn more languages and cook more food. It would be a lot more beneficial to do so.
Additionally, Wei Xiao Bei had already looked at his status panel. Even if he swam so well, the swimming skill still did not appear. This meant that swimming was not a skill by the rules. It should be a type of limb movement just like running. In this case, running was also not a skill.
If it was like this, why would Wei Xiao Bei waste anymore energy on it?
He once again clearly refused Qu Xin's invitation. After they chatted for a bit more, Wei Xiao Bei moved towards Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun's direction.
At this moment, had shamelessly gathered towards Zhu Xin Yi. Who knew if this was caused by her beauty or the charm she was unconsciously exuding. The youths tried to use Huang Kun who was being taught by Zhu Xin Yi as a means of striking up a conversation with her.
However, how could Zhu Xin Yi even pay any attention to these youths who came to the swimming pool for no reason.
Seeing Zhu Xin Yi unwilling to talk with them, they began to direct the conversation to Huang Kun.
Huang Kun did not have a gift in swimming. He was already a 2-Star Creature, but he simply could not learn much after half a day and was still choking on water.
Because he still could not learn it, he was incredibly gloomy. After hearing the ridiculing tone in those youths' voices, he immediately became angry and punched the water.
Boom!
He had already been training in the Dust World for quite a while so when the fist landed on the water, huge waves were sent splashing towards the youths. In an instant, the youths were smashed under the water.
With Huang Kun's big moves, it had naturally attracted other people's attention.
At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei came over just in time. He did not bother swimming anymore and pulled Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun into the changing room. After they changed their clothes, they hurriedly left the pool.
When they returned to the dojo, Huang Kun was thoroughly scolded by Wei Xiao Bei and was even badly battered by him to make him more obedient.
When it came to Zhu Xin Yi, Wei Xiao Bei was more at east. She had a firm heart and her own principles.
Huang Kun was different. He was still a second year junior middle school student. Whether it was his values or worldview, they were still gradually forming, and his experience in the Dust World had largely affected it.
A way to describe it was that his bad tendencies had slightly become stronger.
Thus, Wei Xiao Bei needed to teach him a lesson once in a while. Otherwise, Huang Kun might become a terrible disciple that would murder anyone he hated.
This was something Wei Xiao Bei did not want to see.
Luckily, Huang Kun was still deeply respectful towards him. After being taught a lesson, he did not only become more well-behaved, but he was even self-reflecting. HIs face had recovered a bit of childishness, making Wei Xiao Bei relax a bit.
After busying himself for a few days, Wei Xiao Bei had gained a new skill.
[Language]!
However, this skill was different from other skills.
Other skills would have the rank of the skill written behind like beginner, advanced, etc.
[Language] on the other hand had Chinese (Proficient), English (Beginner) written behind it.
After testing it out, he attempted to put evolution points into his Chinese, but it did not have any effect. It seemed that Chinese (Proficient) was already the peak.
On the other hand, after putting 200 points into English, it had turned from beginner to proficient. Afterwards, he could not put in anymore.
It appeared that language was something that was learned one by one and did not have many ranks separating them.
Wei Xiao Bei copied the words on an English magazine and read it out loud.
For Wei Xiao Bei, with English (Proficient), there were no walls that stopped his reading. Moreover, when he read it, his understanding towards English had deepened.
However, there was still a gap between his English (Proficient) and his Chinese (Proficient).
Wei Xiao Bei guessed that this was the difference between using the mother tongue as a foreign language.
After all, the mother tongue was something learned from adolescence to adulthood. For Wei Xiao Bei, he had been using it for the past 21 years while he used English for just a few days.
