Private goods!
It was a blatant private stash!
After listening to Xu Yong's words, Junior Leopard's heart immediately burned up.
Obviously, this set of Thirteen Punches of Desolation and Moon-evil Painted Skin Punching Skill were the private goods of Xu Yong's branch.
As mentioned before, in well-known families like the Wu's, other than the various martial arts skills that the aristocratic families themselves collected, the branches of the Elders like Xu Yong also had their own private collections. These private collections were obtained by themselves through their own means or by chance, without the help of the aristocratic families' power. Hence, the main branches of the aristocratic families had no reason to ask them to hand over these private collections. This was a publicly recognized rule in Jianghu, and could be considered as a kind of unspoken rule.
In this world, who didn't have their own little secrets?
These were private goods.
The family and the aristocratic families only wanted you to work for the family, not to deprive you of everything. This was like a wife, no matter how you married her, you couldn't share her with others. For most of the people in the martial arts world, martial arts skills were much more important than a wife. How could they be willing to give away the martial arts skills that they obtained through their own ability and chance?
The various aristocratic families and sects naturally tacitly agreed to this rule. Even if they coveted these private goods, they wouldn't openly rob or threaten them. Otherwise, the hearts of those aristocratic families and noble sects would have long dispersed.
As an Elder of the Wu's, and a branch that had been passed down for several generations, it was impossible that Xu Yong didn't have any private goods.
In this half a year, Xu Yong didn't teach Junior Leopard many things. Other than the Moon-evil Painted Skin Punching Skill, it was the 72 Moves Wild Hammering Skill.
Not to mention the 72 Moves Hammer Skill, just the Moon-evil Painted Skin Punching Skill alone didn't come from the Wu's, but was obtained by Xu Yong accidentally. It could be considered his private goods. Only now, other than Junior Leopard, no one else knew about it. Hence, when Xu Yong imparted it to Junior Leopard, he very seriously told him that this set of skin toughening punching skill absolutely couldn't be told to outsiders. Hence, when Junior Leopard practiced, he was always very careful. Just like Tai Chi, he would only practice when there was no one around.
But now, the Thirteen Punches of Desolation that he wanted to impart to Junior Leopard was different.
This set of fist technique was also Xu Yong's personal property, but it was known to everyone.
At that time, Xu Yong's uncle had made a name for himself in Jianghu with this set of punching skills. Therefore, not to mention the Wu Family, even the whole Jianghu knew that this line had such a powerful set of punching skills.
This fist technique wasn't a fist technique for body refinement, and it was a true martial technique instead. This fist technique was divided into 13 moves, and when executed, it would seem simple and ancient, neither infuriating nor deterring, yet it possessed an aura of firmness and gentleness. Moreover, it was extremely fine and dense, and it naturally possessed an imposing aura that was grand, powerful, and supreme.
Of course, these were all the states that Xu Yong described to Junior Leopard when he was imparting this set of punching skills to Junior Leopard.
Even though Junior Leopard was young, he had a lot of experience. Naturally, his vision of martial arts was also extraordinary. The martial arts that he knew now were all the best martial arts in the martial arts world. Now, seeing Xu Yong execute this set of Thirteen Punches of Desolation, displaying it while teaching him the key points of the punching skills, he naturally understood the profoundness of this set of punching skills. It was not below the Wild Hammering Skill, nor was it below Wang She's Asura Killing Stick and Lu Shaoyou's Falling Sky Ultimate Sword.
This couldn't help but make Junior Leopard sigh with emotion. Xu Yong was the authority in refining weapons in the Wu Family. His refining skills ranked second among the Elders of the Wu Family, and there were many divine weapons in Jianghu that came from his hands. However, in terms of martial arts cultivation, he wasn't the best among the Elders. Who would have thought that he could actually take out such precious private goods?
"I'm just a rookie now. My teacher is a Level Five expert. No matter if he specializes in refining weapons or martial arts, he's more than enough to teach me. I don't care where he comes from!" Junior Leopard laughed at himself.
Besides the 72 moves Wild Hammering Skill, Junior Leopard really didn't have any other martial arts that he could take out. The few that he knew were basically all shameful. Therefore, for this kind of powerful martial arts with a clean background, Junior Leopard naturally studied it attentively. The more he studied, the more Junior Leopard immersed himself in it. During the process of practice, he integrated his own Taiji Fist intent into it, and also tried to integrate the Extraordinary Strength Fist into it. He even had a special understanding.
From then on, Junior Leopard practiced his punching skills bitterly every day. His improvement was godly. Unknowingly, more than a month had passed.
On this day, Junior Leopard was practicing his punching skills in the courtyard. Suddenly, he heard a burst of noisy footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.
"Young Master, Young Master Shi is here!"
The voice of a green-clothed manservant came from outside the door.
"Shi Jing? What is he doing here? " Junior Leopard was stunned. He immediately stood up, walked to the door and opened it, "Senior Shi, you're a rare guest!"
"What rare guest!!" Shi Jing didn't stand on ceremony and directly walked into Junior Leopard's room. He sat down on the chair, "The main reason is that you practice all day and don't see anyone. I'm afraid that you're moldy, so I came to take a look. No matter what, we entered the Wu Family together. We have to take care of each other, right?!"
Hearing Shi Jing's somewhat pretentious words, Junior Leopard smiled slightly. He nodded his head towards the green-clothed manservant at the door and said, "Go brew a pot of tea!"
The manservant acknowledged and left. Soon after, he closed the door. "That's for sure. We entered the Wu Family together. Indeed, we should take care of each other. Why, did something happen?!"
"Nothing big. It's just that damn Zhao Fei. Damn, he's finding trouble with me all day long. I want to ask for your help to teach him a lesson!"
"Zhao Fei?!" Junior Leopard raised his eyebrows, "Come on. He's your senior and also the disciple of the Great Elder. Why did you provoke him for no reason?!"
"It's not me who provoked him. It's him who provoked me!" Shi Jing said with a face full of resentment, "He only entered the Wu Family a few years earlier than me!"
"His strength has already reached the peak of Level Two. At most one year, he can enter the realm of Level Three!"
"I'm not looking for you to fight with him. This time, I'm looking for you because …!"
Speaking till here, there was a knock on the door. It was the manservant in green who came in with tea.
Seeing that someone had come, Shi Jing stopped talking. His eyebrows slightly furrowed as he looked at the manservant serving the tea. After the manservant had finished serving the tea, he walked out. Only then did he continue, "This time, I'm looking for you because I have benefits to share with you. Do you really think that I'm that stupid to go face to face with Zhao Fei?!"
Junior Leopard looked at him and thought in his heart, "You're just an idiot. The moment you came, your relationship with your senior became strained. You even offended all the Inner Core disciples who entered the Wu Family together. If this isn't an idiot, then what is?!"
His heart was filled with disdain, but his mouth said, "There are benefits to share with me. What benefits?!"
"Hehe, Junior Leopard, have you heard of Fiery Eyes?!"
Shi Jing mysteriously moved closer to Junior Leopard and said in a low voice.
"Fiery Eyes?!" Junior Leopard was shocked, "No, I've never heard of it. What is that?!"
"I also don't know. Anyway, it's definitely very important!"
"What are you talking about?!" Hearing Shi Jing's words, Junior Leopard had a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
This was because Shi Jing also did not know what Fiery Eyes were. He only heard them mention it once when he was eavesdropping on a conversation.
Shi Jing was from the same batch of Inner Core disciples who entered the Wu Family. Of course, only the two of them were lucky enough to be accepted as disciples by the Elders. The two of them were also so young. Hence, between the two of them, there was more or less some camaraderie. Even though Junior Leopard did not like this brat at all.
Different from Xu Yong, Lin Yiyue did not only have one disciple, Shi Jing. As the First Elder of the Wu Family, he had especially many disciples. There were a total of six, and Shi Jing was only the sixth.
Because First Elder Lin Yiyue was very old, the age difference of his six disciples was also very big. The eldest disciple, Wu Yihang, was a disciple of the Wu Family. He was now close to 40 years old and had long left the Wu Family's headquarters. He was in charge of all the Wu Family's businesses in Yangzhou and was the Yangzhou Supervisor. The other second, third and fourth disciples were the same. The youngest was also over 20 years old and had become the Supervisor of the Wu Family. Only the fifth disciple, Zhao Fei, was left by his side. He had not finished his apprenticeship yet.
After him was the newly accepted sixth disciple, Shi Jing. To be able to enter the First Elder's eyes and be accepted as a disciple, naturally he was not a simple person. This Zhao Fei, no matter if it was his aptitude or family background, was not inferior to Shi Jing's. He might even be superior. In the past, in this Wu Family, he was the First Elder's disciple. His position might not be comparable to the Wu Family's two young masters, but among the group of core disciples, he was one of the best. Who would have thought that this time, his master would accept Shi Jing as a disciple. Moreover, this was not all. The biggest problem was that this brat called Shi Jing was really too arrogant. He had just entered the sect and already wanted to challenge his authority. He really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
It was precisely because of this reason that his relationship with Shi Jing was very bad. There were even a few conflicts. Of course, a few conflicts ended with Shi Jing suffering losses. If it was any other inner sect disciple, he would have long been crippled by him. Who asked Shi Jing to be so young? If he really haggled with this brat, it would seem that he was too petty. He would also lose face in front of his master. Hence, even though Shi Jing suffered losses a few times, he did not suffer any harm. However, this kind of loss was something that Shi Jing could not accept. Since he was young, he had never suffered such a loss before. Hence, his hatred towards Zhao Fei grew even more.
He always wanted to find a chance to properly teach his own senior a lesson. However, regarding these two senior and junior's fights, First Elder Lin Yiyue turned a blind eye to it. They were still young. This kind of fight, compared to what they would experience in the future, was just child's play. If he, as their master, had to care about this, wouldn't it be too tiring? Regarding the fight between these two senior and junior, Junior Leopard naturally knew about it.
Junior Leopard naturally knew about the fight between the two of them. However, he had always stayed out of it. Ever since he entered the Wu Family, he had always been very low-key. Usually, unless there was something important, he rarely left the courtyard. He basically did not fight with others. Even towards the manservants below, he was polite and amiable. The biggest difference between him and Shi Jing was that his teacher Xu Yong only had him as a disciple. Hence, he did not have the same worries as Shi Jing.
Hence, compared to Shi Jing, among the group of inner sect disciples, his reputation was much better than Shi Jing's.
