Jingwu Martial Arts School!
White walls and blue tiles, a red lacquered gate, exuding great presence.
On the white walls on either side, murals depicted ink wash paintings, with a red character "武" (Wǔ) in the center, grand and imposing.
The "craze" for martial arts had never faded. Today, martial arts held a place in the world, becoming a destination for many children to fulfill their wuxia dreams.
This was the most powerful martial arts school in Jin City, where the coaches possessed genuine skills.
The children they trained would never bring shame upon them once they left the school.
Jiang Yichuan and Jiang Shaoqing, along with their sibling Jiang Siyun, also wished to become disciples here.
The three siblings had been saving money from the start, hoping to train here.
While the coaches at school taught very well, possessing multiple skills was always advantageous, and they enjoyed challenging the impossible.
Furthermore, one could not simply enter this place with money. Only children under ten years old, who were recognized martial arts prodigies with exceptional bone structure, could be admitted after an assessment by the teachers.
Jiang Nuannuan was unaware that her three siblings, Jiang Yikuo and his brothers, were secretly saving money to train here.
In the eyes of the three siblings, their mother worked very hard, and they did not want to add any further pressure on her.
The three siblings registered with the money they had earned, and today they were waiting for the assessment teacher to arrive.
The courtyard was vast, serving as the practice ground for the children's morning training.
Jiang Yikuo and his brothers waited for half an hour, but the assessment teacher had not yet arrived.
Jiang Shaoqing half-reclined on a chair, dozing off from the wait.
Jiang Yikuo tilted his head, thinking of song lyrics.
Jiang Siyun looked down at his phone, studying Go.
Wherever the three siblings were, they never wished to hinder their drive for self-improvement.
At that moment, an elder entered, clad in a white martial arts uniform, walking with a powerful stride, clearly a seasoned practitioner.
The elder's gaze was sharp and discerning, his demeanor open and magnanimous, the very image of a grandmaster.
Upon seeing him, the three siblings immediately stood up, cupped their fists, and said, "Greetings, Sect Master."
This person was Long Qianren, the sect master of Jingwu Martial Arts Sect.
"Mhm!" a single word, full of spirit and resonance, with a deep voice.
Long Qianren looked at the three children, very pleased. Their posture alone indicated their exceptional bone structure. Seeing a girl among them, he felt a sense of surprise. Many young ladies these days couldn't endure such hardship.
"What styles of boxing do you three siblings know? Show me. The reason I'm personally assessing you is that, like Xiao Zeyu, you come from that special school." His deep voice seemed to echo in their ears. The three siblings were very excited. If they were to learn, they would learn from someone truly skilled.
Jiang Yikuo said, "Sect Master, your disciple studies White Jade Fist."
Jiang Shaoqing: "Sect Master, your disciple studies miscellaneous boxing, adapting to each individual."
Jiang Siyun also cupped his fists: "Sect Master, your disciple studies Plum Blossom Fist."
"Oh! These are all common boxing techniques, but it doesn't matter. A martial artist is not confined to a specific form but draws from the summarized experiences of our lives."
"All three of you, together!"
Jiang Yikuo and his siblings exchanged glances and then performed their most familiar boxing forms.
Long Qianren watched, his gaze growing increasingly excited and gratified. Their stances were steady, their movements fluid like flowing water, powerful and strong, with tiger-like steps and an unstoppable momentum!
"Good! Good! Good! Excellent! Among all the disciples I've taken, Xiao Zeyu had the most talent. Now, with the three of you, you four are my greatest gain in the past decade." Long Qianren was visibly excited, his voice still rich and smooth. He had successors.
The three siblings stopped their movements, looked at each other, and then looked at the Sect Master with joy.
"Sect Master, does that mean my siblings and I have passed the assessment?" Jiang Yikuo was very excited. Although the three siblings had always practiced martial arts, their flexibility had reached a terrifying level, just like their mother. However, good flexibility did not equate to strength.
Long Qianren's sharp gaze softened into affection. "Of course. Both your physiques and your ages are what I most look forward to. Starting next week, I will personally train the four of you. You four will become my personal disciples."
Jiang Yikuo and his siblings were incredibly excited.
"Thank you, Master!" the three siblings quickly expressed their gratitude.
Long Qianren looked at Jiang Siyun, smiling broadly, "Your name is Yunyun?"
Jiang Siyun blinked her large eyes, then nodded vigorously, answering sweetly, "Master, yes."
"Haha..." Long Qianren laughed heartily, "You are the first female disciple I've ever taken."
"Oh..." Jiang Siyun was stunned, then said with a smile, "Master, after so many years, you haven't met a satisfactory female disciple. I will surely be your satisfactory female disciple."
"Oh! You're so confident?" Long Qianren liked her more and more.
Jiang Siyun nodded vigorously, "Master, because I am very beautiful! And very smart!"
"Haha... That's the truth." Long Qianren felt that the martial arts sect would become increasingly interesting from now on.
"Come, I'll take you inside to meet the other disciples."
Jiang Yikuo's expression turned a little sour. He was already in a bad mood about meeting Xiao Zeyu, and what's more, Xiao Zeyu had joined earlier than them.
He would have to call him senior brother.
The three siblings were led into the training ground.
There were only fifty children of various ages in the training ground.
These children were stunned when they saw Jiang Siyun.
It was because there wasn't a single girl among them. Those who could enter here had passed an assessment, so this pretty and adorable young girl before them had passed.
Someone in the crowd whistled.
The target was clearly Xiao Zeyu.
Xiao Zeyu was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Siyun. He had never heard that her siblings wanted to train here.
However, with this little girl around from now on, the place would surely become more lively.
"Wow, I've been training here for three years, and I've finally seen a girl."
"Isn't that the truth? Many little girls say they want to learn martial arts, but when it comes to the actual assessment, they cry and end up not coming."
"But she's very beautiful. Look, her eyes are so bright, like the moon in the sky."
"Haha... I want to be friends with her. Who knows, maybe she'll be my wife when we grow up."
Xiao Zeyu looked at the surrounding defeated opponents, his expression very displeased.
Looking at the boys who wanted Jiang Siyun as their wife, his expression was even worse. Just you, dreaming! Baimao Novel
"Children, come quickly. Welcome your junior brothers and junior sister who have successfully passed the assessment." The Sect Master looked at the children, smiling happily.
He was very serious during training, but in private, he was a very kind elder.
"Welcome, welcome!" Everyone was very happy.
The three siblings greeted everyone very happily.
The world of children is not always simple; it has its cruel side. Some are happy, while others are filled with hostility.
However, the three siblings were aware of this.
When Jiang Siyun saw Xiao Zeyu opposite her, her sweet smile slightly froze. At the same moment, someone behind her heavily patted her shoulder in a gesture of arrogant provocation.
