A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 395 Chao Gai

Early the next morning, just after daybreak, Lu Cheng took two servants out of the east city gate and headed towards Dongxi Village.

When I arrived at the entrance of Dongxi Village, I asked someone and found out where Chao Gai's family lived.

Not long after, when Lu Cheng brought two servants to Chao Gai's house, they saw Chao Gai practicing martial arts in the yard. He wielded a broadsword with great vigor and skill, which was quite extraordinary.

Lu Cheng watched from the side for a while, and when the other party finished practicing the sword skills, he applauded.

"King Chao is good at martial arts and has great skills."

"Who is this little brother?"

"I am the owner of Huichuntang, Lu Cheng."

"It turns out to be Master Lu. My apologies. Please come in."

Chao Gai was good at martial arts, generous, and liked to make friends with people from all walks of life. He was well-connected with both the black and white worlds. Whenever people from the underworld came to him for help, he would warmly entertain them.

After entering the courtyard, Lu Cheng discovered that there were no female family members in Chao Gai's family. Except for Chao Gai's father, Chao Taigong, and a few servants, there was no one else in the house.

The huge yard was transformed into a martial arts arena, with a large number of swords, machetes, sticks and axes displayed.

After inviting Lu Cheng into the house, Chao Gai asked the servants to serve him a few cups of tea and told the kitchen to prepare wine and food. Then he asked, "Why did Mr. Lu come to my humble abode today?"

"Lord Chao, I also like to wield spears and clubs on weekdays, but I have never fought with anyone before, so I don't know my own strengths, so I want to seek some advice from an expert. I heard that Lord Chao is the best hero in our Yuncheng County, so I came to visit him and want to ask for his advice."

"Haha, what did I want to do? It turns out you just wanted to learn martial arts from me. No problem. Chao also likes to wield spears and sticks and learn from others. It just so happens that there are all kinds of weapons in the yard. What kind of weapon does Brother Lu like to use?"

"Knives, guns, sticks, and clubs are all acceptable."

"It seems that little brother is an all-rounder. How about we go to the yard and compete with each other?"

"I can't ask for it."

"please."

Chao Gai was a straightforward man, and Lu Cheng was not one to waste time either. The two of them got up and went to the yard.

"Little brother, knives and axes have no eyes and can easily hurt people. Why don't we fight with sticks first?"

"Okay, please advise me."

Lu Cheng came to the weapons rack, took out a straight long stick, played with it in his hand, and then bowed: "Chao Tianwang, please."

Chao Gai also picked up a similar long stick and bowed to Lu Cheng: "Little brother, you go first."

It was obvious that Chao Gai looked down upon Lu Cheng, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

Lu Cheng didn't say much. He held the long stick in both hands, took a step forward, and swept the long stick across, attacking the opponent's thigh.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

As Lu Cheng swept out with the stick, the whistling sound of the stick cutting through the air immediately made Chao Gai extremely alert. He no longer dared to underestimate him and quickly turned the stick in his hand to block Lu Cheng's first tentative attack.

With a bang, the two wooden sticks collided with each other. The long stick in Chao Gai's hand shook, and his palm felt slightly numb. He secretly praised in his heart: "This young man has great strength!"

Although Lu Cheng's first move was just a tentative attack and he did not use his full strength, it would still be difficult for ordinary people to resist. However, Chao Gai blocked it steadily without much change in his expression. At least he had real skills.

Afterwards, the long stick in Lu Cheng's hand used the recoil force to turn the front end into the back end, and then the back end into the front end, and quickly swept towards Chao Gai's waist from the other side.

Chao Gai immediately moved sideways to block, and the wooden sticks in the two men's hands collided again, making a louder noise.

Immediately afterwards, the two men fought faster and faster, the wooden sticks in their hands left afterimages, and the force on the sticks became stronger and stronger.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen moves were exchanged, and with a snap, the wooden sticks in the hands of the two men broke. Chao Gai's wrist trembled uncontrollably, and Lu Cheng also felt his palms a little numb.

If we only talk about skills, Lu Cheng has been reincarnated for several lifetimes and has never stopped practicing martial arts for hundreds of years. He has already mastered the techniques of various weapons and has reached the point where he can simplify them and do them effortlessly.

Although Chao Gai also practiced martial arts all year round, rain or shine, he had only practiced for less than forty years, so he could not compare with Lu Cheng.

In terms of strength and physique, Chao Gai was definitely gifted, and it should be no problem for him to win a weightlifting championship in the future. Due to years of martial arts training, his muscles and bones were strong and he was able to withstand blows.

However, Lu Cheng has a physique of 28 points, far beyond that of ordinary people. He is stronger than Chao Gai in strength and speed.

Moreover, Lu Cheng has rich combat experience, has killed countless enemies with his own hands, and his psychological quality is far superior to that of the other party.

If it was a life-and-death fight, without using hot weapons and only using cold weapons in a head-on confrontation, Lu Cheng was also confident that he could kill Chao Gai in the shortest time possible, and even use his advantages in all aspects to kill him in one move.

But the strength Chao Gai showed did surprise Lu Cheng. He just didn't know whether the other party had used his full strength.

However, judging from the opponent's still trembling wrist, even if he had not just unleashed his full strength, it should have been almost the same.

"My little brother is very skilled. I underestimated you. How about we switch to single swords and fight again?"

"King Chao is a skilled martial artist, and I admire him. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid we'll get hurt. How about we just stop here?"

Since he had already achieved the result he wanted, there was no need to continue fighting. Lu Cheng would not be so brave as to defeat Chao Gai and show off his military prowess.

"Alright. It's rare to meet a young talent like you today, so please let me play the role of host and have a few drinks with you."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Chao Gai knew that he had already lost.

Lu Cheng is just a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old. His strength and martial arts will surely increase in the future, but Chao Gai has already reached the peak at this time.

Chao Gai could already foresee that the young man in front of him would definitely become a powerful general in the future, and he must be won over and made friends with him.

Afterwards, the two men returned to the house. Chao Gai stretched his wrists, then asked someone to serve wine and food and warmly entertained Lu Cheng.

The two of them ate and chatted, talking about martial arts and discussing martial arts, which was quite enjoyable.

The meal lasted more than two hours, and it was not until the afternoon that Lu Cheng said goodbye and left.

Chao Gai sent Lu Cheng out the door, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "When did Yuncheng County produce such a person? I should pay more attention to him in the future and remind my brothers."

On the other side, Lai Fu followed Lu Cheng and asked, "Master, did you just defeat that Tower-Bearing Heavenly King?"

"It's a draw, and don't talk nonsense when you get out of here."

"I understand. Master, you are amazing."

"Okay, no need for you to flatter me."

Defeating Chao Gai was nothing. Lu Cheng planned to meet Wu Song again after a while and take him as his younger brother.

When Wu Song fought Feiyunpu, he was wearing shackles and chains, and was beaten with a killing stick before setting off. Even so, he was able to fight four people alone, break free from the shackles, and fight back in desperate situations. His martial arts skills may be even higher.

When fighting with Chao Gai before, Lu Cheng had carefully observed the opponent's changes and judged that the opponent must have used drugs to strengthen his muscles and bones.

In other words, there is at least a prescription in this world similar to the "body-strengthening pill" that Lu Cheng came up with.

When the two were drinking, Lu Cheng asked a few questions indirectly, but Chao Gai was vague and did not say much.

This also strengthened Lu Cheng's determination to find masters and explore secrets.

A few days later, Huichuntang purchased a batch of nourishing medicinal materials from some pharmacists. Lu Cheng directly asked Manager Liu to find a few temporary apprentices to carry out preliminary processing of the various medicinal materials.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng personally prepared two kinds of medicine, Golden Gun Pill and Dragon Tiger Pill. Just by looking at the names, you can know the effects of these two pills.

One pill and one pill, the same kind of medicine, but with different effects, different prices, and different pricing, targeting different customer groups.
