Sing sees hope and steps forward excitedly, his eyes shining.
However, Li Xiu then asks him, "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"
Sing's mind raced as he remembered Li Xiu's previous comment about not liking people who don't practice martial arts, and he tried to come up with an excuse.
But Li Xiu knew what he was thinking and stopped him by waving his hand: "I just disdain those people who are not skilled in martial arts but think highly of themselves, I treat everyone else the same."
Sing chuckled, he was just about to lie but was seen through and had to tell the truth.
"I learned some mixed-martial arts tricks when I was young, it's just some flashy kicks and moves, but I have a pair of big fists that can certainly be useful for you..."
"Mixed-martial arts tricks? Show me."
Li Xiu's face showed a hint of surprise, it was interesting to hear that his master's technique was being referred to as mixed-martial arts tricks.
Axing turned to look at the Axe Gang members around him, feeling a bit awkward, but for the sake of joining the Axe Gang and no longer being looked down upon, he had to do it.
Sing breathed in deeply and began to slowly perform a set of palm techniques.
Although he remembered the moves from years ago, but he had not practice for long time so the execution was very clumsy and unrefined. And combined with Sing's serious expression, it was quite comical. Even Bone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After a few moves, Li Xiu, who was sitting on the sofa, exhaled slightly and showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes. The reason is that Sing couldn't develop internal strength, so he couldn't learn this shocking martial arts technique.
In the virtual world, all kinds of works are gathered together by spiritual and thoughts, but very few works have no flaws, and the virtual world will forcibly perform these bugs and automatically make up for them.
For example, in the prototype film of the last virtual world, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre", Zhou Zhiruo used the Heaven Sword to slice through a square meter of earth and rocks and make Xiao Zhao and Zhang Wuji fall into a cliff, which was impossible for her original martial arts level.
And later on, when Zhang Wuji used the Heaven Sword again, there were many strange performances.
So, in the last virtual world, the Heaven Sword became a weapon that could automatically enhance the power of sword qi and save the master's internal strength, making up for the deficiencies.
And the technique of "Heaven and Earth Great Shift", it's said to be a powerful martial arts created by an old man, Huo Shan, from the western regions, He never set foot in the Central Plains and never seen the martial arts of the Central Plains.
But Heaven and Earth Great Shift claimed to be a martial arts that combined various martial arts principles and upon mastering it, regardless of what martial arts one looked at, they would be able to become proficient in it instantly, which is very unreasonable.
When Li Xiu was trying to stop the Six Major Sects from destroying the Ming Cult, he fought against Yuan Yin, and the technique of the Dragon Claw Hand was nothing.
But when he used Heaven and Earth Great Shift, he could even glimpse the flow and circulation of the internal energy of the Dragon Claw Hand.
He found it strange at the time, until later he was informed by the "power" and knew what it was.
These bugs are fine in the original virtual world, but if you want to forcefully manifest them, you need a vast amount of origin.
This is why Li Xiu did not manifest the sword, Yitian, because the virtual world origin obtained from the previous realm has mostly been used to manifest Heaven and Earth Great Shift.
After manifestation, Heaven and Earth Great Shift is no longer a martial arts skill and cannot be taught to others, it has become an forced buff on Li Xiu.
Now, as long as it is a martial arts skill within the concept of martial arts, regardless of its strength, Li Xiu can learn it as long as he looks at it a few times.
The difference is how long this "few times" is.
The amount of virtual world origin consumed is astonishing, but the effect is equally strange, which makes Li Xiu very satisfied.
Of course, there are also conditions, at least like this person in front of him, without internal energy and only using martial arts moves, it would not work.
Since it was useless, since Sing couldn't use internal energy, Li Xiu signaled for him to stop and said: "Alright, I have a bit of a connection with you, if you truly want to join the Axe Gang, you can naturally do so."
Sing was delighted, but then his face stiffened, and he tentatively asked, "Gang Leader, can my brother not join? He is very loyal and brave, and you can see from his bear-like body and hammer-like fists."
Sing pulled his fat brother Bone, and constantly praised him to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu replied "I have always been good at judging people, your fat brother is not suitable to be in the Axe Gang, you should ask yourself what would happen if I really accepted him into the gang."
Sing's expression stiffened, he regained his composure and fell silent.
Sing didn't know that his brother Bone, was honest and simple-minded, to put it more harshly, he was more likely to cause trouble than to succeed, it was still fine to steal and intimidate with him in the normal days, but if he were to drag him into the Axe Gang to do some illegal activities, one day he might end up getting killed by his own actions.
Bone, who had heard this, also comforted Sing and said that it was fine.
"Of course, usually when a new member joins the Axe Gang, we give them a substantial sum of money as a joining fee, if you agree, I can give your joining fee to your fat brother, so he can start a business or something."
Upon hearing this, Sing looked up, his face showing endless joy, he kept thanking him and Bone was also very happy, constantly thanking as well.
Li Xiu naturally couldn't let Bone stay by Sing's side, Sing may change for the better, but this ditzy Bone may not, with him around, when would Sing be considered a qualified bad person.
At night, in the well-lit back hall of the Axe Gang, there were only Li Xiu, Sing and the Eyeglass Man.
"Sing, since you have joined my Axe Gang, I see that you are very intelligent, I want to give you a difficult task, I wonder if you can help me complete it?"
Since he had joined the Axe Gang and received Li Xiu's favor, Sing patted his chest and said of course he could.
"But, can I ask what is the task that the Gang Leader is talking about? If it's too important and I mess it up and make a mistake, it would be bad for the Gang Leader."
Sing who seemed unwilling to refuse a difficult task a second ago and now appeared smart and tried to back out. Li Xiu knew he was like this and did not blame him: "Actually it's not difficult, you also heard what Liang Hsiao said today, my goal is very simple, I want the piece of land in Pigsty Alley, I want you to do this job."
"I will allow you to mobilize one hundred members from the gang to help you accomplish this task."
Hearing that he would have one hundred people who would follow his orders, and also that he had a grudge against people from the Pigsty Alley, Sing immediately nodded and was afraid of missing this great opportunity. "I'll give you a month, if you handle this job beautifully, I will promote you to the Third in command of the Axe Gang."
When Li Xiu's words fell, Sing couldn't help but laugh, he was overjoyed and his eyes were full of excitement.
"Alright, Sing, you go pick people."
Li Xiu sent away Sing, who was now filled with motivation and his eyes were almost sparkling with fire, and the Eyeglass Man came up and sneered.
"Gang Leader, he is just a small fry, what can he do, just be sure not to ruin your big plan."
Li Xiu's big plan, was never about something superficial like Pigsty Alley, he just wanted the plot to develop according to his wishes and corrupt Sing to obtain the Buddhist Palm technique.
"That's not your concern, I have something else I need to tell you."
Li Xiu once again regained his cold expression, instantly causing eyeglass man to feel a heavy pressure and his clothes were drenched in sweat as he kept wiping his forehead.
"Gang Leader, you tell me, you tell me."
Eyeglass Man quickly put on a flattering expression, bowing and smiling obsequiously.
"Having you kill people is too difficult for you, and also a waste of your bad water, but if I were to let you teach someone to be bad or to stir up a relationship between two people, I think it should be easy."
Li Xiu's words were ruthless, but eyeglass Man still nodded and had an expression as if he was being praised.
"Then Gang Leader, who is this person you mentioned? And who should I go stir up the relationship between?"
Li Xiu's eyes flashed a hint of coldness as he spoke slowly.
''I want you to go teach that brat, Sing, and at the same time, I want you to incite conflict between Sing and Liang Hsiao, to the point where they are fighting for their lives. If necessary, you should help Sing kill Liang Hsiao.''
''As for the specifics, you can...''
In this virtual world, there were "mistakes" like the Heaven and Earth Great Shift. Sing's unparalleled genius physique, not only can it automatically operate internal energy, but also after a serious injury, it can recover within a few moments, and it's obvious that it is not a normal human being.
Unfortunately, Li Xiu had no way to obtain it. But he didn't think much of it, his Azure Jade Sutra had already reached the fifth level, and his life recovery rate was multiple times that of an average person, much stronger than any kind of unparalleled genius physique.
A few minutes later, in a very luxurious "dance hall" in Shanghai, under the colorful lights and beautiful music, a strange and exciting atmosphere spread.
In a corner VIP room, the eyeglass man sat down with Sing.
"Sit down, brother, you just joined the Axe Gang today, as your older brother, I naturally have to treat you well, tonight, you can play and eat whatever you want."
"This is not good, Sir."
Sing turned to look at the luxurious decor and all the novelties around him, while saying that it's not good, but his eyes were full of a desire to try. He had never been to such a high-end place before, let alone getting close to it, he would have been chased away.
He had often crouched at the door and looked inside, imagining that if one day he became successful, he would definitely come in and spend some money. He never expected that today was the day it would come true.
"Between us brothers, who's with who, not to mention that you're so valued by the gang leader, in the future, I hope you can lift me up as well."
The eyeglass man said in a familiar flattering manner.
Sing also went along with it, exaggerating his expression as he said, "How could that be? Everyone in the gang knows that Sir is the most respected person in the gang, besides the leader. In the future, I'll still rely on Sir a lot."
The eyeglass man laughed: "mutual assistance, mutual assistance."
Moments later, a few beautiful women wearing light makeup came in and stood in a row.
Sing turned and asked: "Sir, what are these..."
The eyeglass man said in a lecherous tone, lowering his voice to Sing: "Brother, I'm telling you these are the highest-grade goods on the entire Shanghai beach, pick one to drink with you first, and there's a quiet room next to it, you can..."
At this point, the eyeglass man stopped speaking and let out a strange laugh. Sing, who couldn't help but understand, also laughed, but didn't say anything for a long time.
The eyeglass man had long anticipated this situation, it was nothing more than Sing was a bit shy at first, so he picked one out and said directly: "Brother, I'm telling you, you're not... "
Sing's face turned red, shaking his hand repeatedly: "No, how could that be, I'm not anymore."
"It's you, come over and sit."
Sing pretended to be an old customer and pointed to the most beautiful of the women.
The beautiful woman in a cheongsam walked over, secretly exchanged a glance with the eyeglass man, and the eyeglass man, without showing any expression, also picked one, and gave some tips to the others to send them away.
The beautiful woman reached out with her slender hand and picked up the wine glass on the table, secretly using her pink fingernail to tap on the edge of the glass, and a small amount of white powder fell into the wine.
The beautiful woman moved closer to Sing, holding up the wine glass, and said in a charming voice, "Sir, I toast you."
Sing received the wine glass with a somewhat unnatural expression, and raised his head to drink.
Several minutes later, Sing's face began to show an unnatural, dizzy "drunkenness." The eyeglass man nodded, and the beautiful woman helped him up.
"Sir, you are drunk, let me take you to a nearby room to rest."
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, the eyeglass man quickly found the phone in the dance hall and called Li Xiu.
"Gang leader, everything is going well."
"You can rest assured, there will be no mistake. The woman I found is clever and can talk very well. She will definitely make that kid so confused he doesn't know north from south. After holding him firmly, I'll slowly influence him."
"As for the other things you instructed, in two days you will be able to see the results."
