Chapter 30: 【028】Engage in PK

"Martial arts instructor..." Wang Longhu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Sorry, big brother, I don’t do that. I just practice martial arts."

A monthly salary of 200,000 was so high that it stunned Wang Longhu. Who wouldn’t be dazzled by such an offer?

But the problem was that it would be too restricting. Like now, Wang Longhu was alone in the mountains practicing martial arts, organizing his time as he pleased, without having to worry about trivial matters.

And once you take someone else’s money and accept a job, life often wouldn’t be as carefree as it is now.

Teaching others martial arts would be a waste of his time, so after thinking it over carefully, Wang Longhu decisively chose to refuse.

With his abilities, even without this support from the big brother, he might not earn much, but there would be no issue covering his living expenses.

Upon hearing Wang Longhu’s response, Yu Yongyi felt an immense sense of regret.

"Not accepting 200,000 a month? It seems Mr. Longhu certainly isn’t lacking money. So why is he streaming live to gain attention, like a clown being teased?" Yu Yongyi was puzzled.

Thinking about how Wang Longhu would ceremoniously thank for a 10-yuan gift, yet turned down his high-paying job offer, this discrepancy nearly caused Yu Yongyi’s brain to explode.

"I remember my master who taught me the Eight Brocade Exercises once mentioned that achieving Dark Force might require some sort of spiritual enlightenment. I don’t quite understand it, but could this be what Mr. Longhu is doing?" Yu Yongyi suddenly had an epiphany.

Being someone who hasn’t even reached Ming Jin, Yu Yongyi naturally didn’t understand how to practice Dark Force. But suddenly, Wang Longhu’s seemingly absurd actions appeared more normal in his eyes.

"Mr. Longhu must have his reasons for doing this. This kind of training method surely won’t last long. I just need to accompany Mr. Longhu during these days. Once he masters Dark Force and has free time, he won’t refuse me... Yes! That’s it! Mr. Longhu must have refused me because my request was interrupting his martial arts training!"

Yu Yongyi’s mind became clearer, convinced that his thoughts were correct.

As the head of a big company, Yu Yongyi certainly wasn’t stupid, but when venturing into a field where he was merely at an elementary level, innate admiration and mystique led to his imaginative thinking.

Wang Longhu could never have imagined that his simple intention of live streaming to earn some money would be thought of in such grand terms by Yu Yongyi.

[Ping Yi Near People: Then I won’t insist on asking Mr. Longhu. Can we mutually follow each other? I’m really interested in martial arts.]

"Of course, it’s no big deal." Seeing Yu Yongyi’s comment, Wang Longhu agreed without hesitation.

What a joke, this was a wealthy guy who could toss out five carnivals without blinking an eye. How could he not get acquainted?

After all, rewards on Douyin are all about mutual consent. Once the big brother is pleased, gifts naturally follow. As a streamer, forget about conscience, as long as you can rake in cash, that’s all that matters.

When Yu Yongyi saw that Wang Longhu really followed him back, his face lit up with an exceptionally bright smile, filled with excitement.

What a joke, this is a Ming Jin expert, someone rare that you wouldn’t find among numerous people, a talent beyond monetary value.

If they went to serve the country, to work for the top, ordinary people wouldn’t have any contact. Meeting Wang Longhu today was like striking a fortune.

[Host is a Ming Jin expert, can you demonstrate for us? How is Ming Jin different from the martial arts we used to see on TV?]

[It’s said the First Layer of Strength can kill a bull, the Second can crush mountains, and the Third and Fourth even immortals find difficult. Host, can you kill a bull now?]

[Does the host take apprentices? I’ve dreamed of being a martial arts hero since I was young, but my dream was shelved when I got fatty liver in high school.]

Wang Longhu felt a bit awkward watching the comments in the live stream room. Chatting-type live streams are the least profitable, and since Yu Yongyi was so generous, many lost interest in sending gifts to see Wang Longhu do physical challenges.

Although the online audience unknowingly surpassed 300, it didn’t mean much to Wang Longhu.

Thus, he ignored the live stream audience and proceeded to do his prisoner workouts.

With the wave of rewards from Yu Yongyi, he was already well-fed for the day, and the income from sunglasses wasn’t looking too appealing to Wang Longhu either.

...

Teng Qing grew up in Hexia Province. After completing nine years of compulsory education, he followed his family’s wishes and didn’t go to high school. Instead, he stayed home to help raise pigs and farm, earning money to support his younger siblings’ living expenses.

Teng Qing’s grandfather was a practitioner who had learned Iron Sand Palm from a master in his early years, making a name for himself locally. This led him to a job overseeing security for others.

Though the job was dangerous, facing unpredictable attacks daily, the salary was lucrative, higher than that of ordinary employees. Teng Qing’s grandfather lacked education, possessing only martial prowess with no other means of earning.

He did this work until he gave up in his forties or fifties.

Iron Sand Palm is an external form of boxing that requires years of conditioning muscles and bones to break stones and bricks, and martial arts is like rowing upstream; if you don’t progress, you regress. To maintain their strength, many martial artists practice for over forty-five years.

Otherwise, the young and strong can easily overpower the old veterans, and precisely because of this, external form martial artists often have extremely overstrained bodies with hidden injuries in old age.

Teng Qing’s grandfather was indeed this way, now confined to a wheelchair unable to walk, his arms too weak to hold a chopstick, requiring others’ care for meals daily, it was very tragic.

When Teng Qing dropped out, not only did he help at home with raising pigs and growing vegetables, but he also learned Iron Sand Palm from his grandfather.

With the medicinal solutions and practice methods provided by his grandfather, Teng Qing has been practicing Iron Sand Palm for seven years, his palms larger by three full circles compared to ordinary people, and entirely covered in thick calluses, he could thrust them into heated iron sand without being burnt.

Breaking wooden boards or red bricks was also a piece of cake.

Thanks to this skill honed since childhood, in the rise of the 5G live streaming era of Douyin, Teng Qing was fortunate to have made a name for himself online, attracting numerous viewers who liked watching him break bricks.

Every day, the income from live streaming and playing PK on Douyin far exceeded what his family could earn in a week, so Teng Qing turned streaming into his full-time job.

"Thank you all for watching my live stream. As usual, let’s start with a PK. Recently, my Iron Sand Palm has improved again, breaking three bricks simultaneously is no problem, and I hope everyone will support me!"

Facing the screen, wearing a black tank top, Teng Qing pressed the PK connection button in the live stream room.

Within seconds, a hairy-faced Sun Wukong appeared in his live stream room.

"Hey? Who are you?"

The person on the other side asked quizzically.
