Chapter VI. Apprenticeships in chores

  Although Zhang Guoyi was about the same age as Bai Ziyue and the others, he was a head taller than them, and looked robust, his physique and strength were obviously far beyond that of ordinary people.   He took a big step out and quickly came in front of the stone pier that was equivalent to fifty pounds, bent down, and grasped the handle of the pier with both hands.   "Rise!"   Zhang Guoyi exerted his full strength, his arms, his neck, all seemed to be a few points thicker, the heavy stone pier, was directly lifted by him, resisted to his shoulders.   One step, two steps, three steps ......   Soon ten steps out.   "Thud!"   A heavy stone pier landing sound rang out.   Zhang Guoyi hurriedly put down the stone pier and stood aside to catch his breath.   Obviously, even if he had a good physique and outperformed his peers, sustaining the lifting of such such a heavy weight was a bit of a stretch.   "Good, count yourself through, stand over here."   Zhang Bo did not make things difficult and nodded his head lightly.   "Yes!"   Zhang Guoyi hurriedly answered, knowing that he was considered to have passed the test, he hurriedly stood over.   It seemed like Zhang Guoyi's success gave some hope to the other kids, and soon there were people who came forward to try.   At the same time, there were also girls, who ran to the edge of the thirty pound stone pier, wanting to try something.   It was just a pity that no matter how hard they tried and exerted their milk strength, there were few times when they lifted the stone pier, and some of the skinny ones, it was difficult to even move the stone pier slightly, not to mention moving it up to walk up ten steps.   "Let's go, go back and help you guys figure it out."   At this time, Xu Ming moved closer and said in a low voice.   Xu Li nodded his head in frustration, he had just gone to try as well, but the stone pier didn't move at all, so naturally, it was clear that it was impossible for him to pass the test.   "Uncle Ming, I want to try."   Bai Ziyue's face was serious as he said, directly walking towards the stone pier.   He naturally knew that since Uncle Ming had said that he would help him think of a way, he would definitely be able to arrange it for him and wouldn't let them return to the village in disgrace.   Perhaps not the Blazing Sun Gang, but there were other places to accommodate them.   But from the beginning to the end, he did not forget the purpose of his coming to Qinghe Town, that is to learn martial arts.   How could he learn martial arts without joining the Blazing Sun Gang? Going to some stores as an apprentice might be able to make a living, but it was absolutely impossible to have access to martial arts.   Therefore, even if this test was difficult, he still had to try.   Of course, he naturally had enough backbone.   Name: Bai Ziyue   Strength: 0.26 (+)   Speed: 0.33 (+)   Physique: 0.49 (+)   Martial Arts: None   Soul Energy: 837   Bai Ziyue's consciousness blurred and he directly tapped on the power.   Immediately, the soul energy was rapidly consumed, and his strength, in turn, climbed extremely rapidly.   In this instant, it was as if he had gone through countless workouts, and he could clearly feel his strength growing, and even the arms of his originally skinny body had become a bit thicker and thicker, with some hidden muscles.   Of course, it wasn't obvious.   However, when his strength increased to 0.5, the plus sign disappeared.   "Up to the limit?"   Bai Ziyue frowned, but thinking about it, it was normal.   This kind of boost, naturally, couldn't be limitless, as the human body had limits.   At his age, his physique, meridians, and bones were all very fragile and tender, and continuing to elevate would surely trigger something bad that would affect his growth in the later stages.   Even now, he felt a bulging sensation of discomfort.   However, he quickly perceived that this discomfort was more a result of speed and an imbalance between his physique and strength.   Therefore, after thinking about it, he did not hesitate and simply took one step and continued to add more points.   Anyway, because of Iron Armed Hand Wu Liang before, he was quite rich in soul energy, so he didn't care about this consumption.   Soon, Bai Ziyue felt his whole body, heat surging, especially his legs, a burst of heat, the upward surge of power, actually let his height, were born to pull up some.   At this moment, he actually felt a kind of power.   Although this kind of power, not to mention comparing it to a martial artist, even compared to an ordinary person, it was far inferior.   Name: Bai Ziyue   Strength: 0.5   Speed: 0.5   Physique: 0.5   Martial Arts: None   Soul Energy: 795   "Sure enough, after Strength, Speed and Physique have been raised to their limits, there are no more marks indicating that they can be raised."   It was obvious that his current state should be the limit of what he could achieve.   If he wanted to ascend any further, he would have to rely on other methods.   Bai Ziyue's greatest expectation was still martial arts!   However, in order to learn martial arts, he first needed to join the Blazing Sun Gang.   Therefore, he hastily collected his mind and stretched out his hands, gripping the stone pier handle.   "Up!"   With a muffled grunt, Bai Ziyue's entire body tensed up, the veins on his neck, and head burst out.   "Lift up?"   A child exclaimed.   Bai Ziyue's force accustomed to his entire body, directly lifting the stone pier, slowly elevating it above his shoulders.   Then he stepped out one step at a time.   With each step, he was able to clearly feel the pressure on his legs from the heavy weight on his body.   The pressure was so great that if it was before, he would never be able to withstand it.   However, with the enhancement of his physique and speed, it was as if his legs had gone through countless workouts, becoming much stronger and completely able to withstand it.   One step, two steps, three steps ......   Soon, Bai Ziyue completed ten steps in full.   Slowly squatting down, the stone pier then landed on the ground once again with a muffled sound.   "It also counts as you passing."   Zhang Bo's face looked strange, but he still nodded slowly.   He also did not expect that he had wanted to make things difficult for Xu Ming, but as a result, the two people who passed the examination this time were both introduced by him.   Bai Ziyue's heart rejoiced and finally let out a long sigh of relief.   By passing the examination, he was one step closer to learning martial arts.   "Alright, the assessment is over, those who didn't pass, go back to wherever you are. You two, follow Wang Jian, he will naturally make arrangements for you next."   Zhang Bo let out a light smile and directly turned around to leave.   Wang Jian was exactly the tall and thin youth standing behind Zhang Bo, he waved to Bai Ziyue and Zhang Guoyi, and didn't give the two of them a chance to say goodbye to Xu Ming, not to mention the meaning of talking to the two of them, and walked ahead by himself.   The two hurriedly followed.   "Ziyue, how do I feel, you've gotten a little taller?"   On the road, Zhang Guoyi asked in a small voice of surprise.   "No matter."   Bai Ziyue's face remained unchanged, knowing that this was due to his previous use of Soul Energy Addition.   This was sort of an alternative aftermath, right? Bai Ziyue secretly made a note in his heart that in the future, if he wanted to use Soul Energy Addition, he couldn't recklessly raise it too much at once.   Soon, under Wang Jian's leadership, Bai Ziyue and Zhang Guoyi arrived at a place that resembled a courtyard in general.   "Senior brother Wang, are there only two today?"   A man with a little beard and a narrow scar on his face from his eye bone to his chin saw Wang Jian and rushed to welcome him, seeing that there were only two teenagers following behind him, he couldn't help but show a surprised look.   "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."   Wang Jian grunted with an unkind face, swept a glance at Bai Ziyue and Zhang Guoyi, and said, "These two, you register them and program them as miscellaneous apprentices."
