Chapter 5

Shi Yun had a certain level of understanding of the martial arts school in Liucheng.

Although he couldn't go out to gather information, his second sister could.

There were many martial arts schools in Liucheng.

But the one with the best reputation was the Jinguang Martial Arts School.

It was said that the head of the Jinguang Martial Arts School held a high status among all the martial artists in Liucheng.

The school had hundreds of apprentices.

More importantly, the Jinguang Martial Arts School charged very reasonably.

Furthermore, there were no requirements for the identity of the apprentices.

Some of the outstanding apprentices came from the lowest strata of Liucheng, but after rigorous martial arts training, they all became esteemed martial artists.

It could be said that they had changed their fate.

"Then let's go to the Jinguang Martial Arts School!"

Shi Yun made his decision.

So, Shi Yun slowly got up.

He asked his second sister to prepare a cane for him.

However, it was not very convenient.

Shi Yun looked at his right leg.

Actually, his right calf could be directly amputated, which would be more convenient.

But Shi Yun did not want to amputate it.

He still harbored a glimmer of hope.

What if there was some miraculous medicine in the future that could restore his right leg?

Even if there was just a glimmer of hope, he would not give up!

However, his right calf was indeed a problem now.

In the future, it would also affect Shi Yun's training.

But Shi Yun had come up with a solution.

He prepared some iron plates.

He tied them to his knee.

The length of the iron plates was slightly longer than his right calf.

This way, he could walk on the ground with his right leg without worrying about his right foot affecting his movement.

However, this made his legs uneven.

He limped as he walked.

Moreover, the iron plates were heavy, making each step a significant effort for Shi Yun.

Of course, most of the time, it was better to use the cane.

This was just a temporary solution.

Not wanting to amputate, he could only temporarily maintain a relatively "complete" body.

After tying the iron plates to his right leg, Shi Yun tried it out.

It was heavy, but it allowed him to stand on the ground without a cane when stationary.

Of course, the iron plates tied to his leg were very tight and painful.

But Shi Yun gritted his teeth and endured it.

Shi Hui tidied up Shi Yun's clothes and then supported him, saying, "Brother Yun, let's go."

Actually, Shi Hui was a bit worried.

But she didn't say it.

Whatever her brother decided to do, she would support him.

"Creak."

Shi Hui pushed open the door.

She supported Shi Yun as they walked out.

The weather was very nice today.

The sunlight was even a bit blinding.

But it wasn't hot; instead, the sunlight was warm, giving a sense of comfort.

Shi Yun had been in this world for many days.

This was the first time he had stepped out of the house.

He looked around and nodded slightly, saying, "It seems Xu Ergou really hasn't come. While he hasn't noticed, let's quickly go to the Jinguang Martial Arts School, Second Sister."

Shi Yun chose to go out today because he noticed that Xu Ergou was no longer monitoring the Shi family.

So, this was a rare opportunity.

Shi Hui supported Shi Yun as they walked through the streets.

On both sides of the streets, there were many displaced people.

Even the constables from the government office were specifically searching for those who had already died among the displaced people.

They directly dragged the bodies away with carts.

And they sprinkled lime on the ground.

It seemed to prevent an epidemic in the city.

There were also some Taoist priests.

They were pasting talismans in some corners, muttering incantations.

They were praying for rain.

It had been several days.

The famous and powerful Qingyuan Master, who was said to have great magical powers, seemed to be of no use.

It had been several days.

Still, not a single drop of rain had fallen.

Shi Yun looked at the situation in Liucheng.

Everyone seemed pale and emaciated.

This was a chaotic era!

People were dying every day.

He didn't want to be the next one, or his loved ones.

He just wanted to survive!

The two of them walked through several streets.

Finally, they arrived at the Jinguang Martial Arts School.

The Jinguang Martial Arts School was very grand and occupied a large area.

At the entrance, two burly apprentices stood, looking at Shi Yun, who was limping with a cane, wanting to join the martial arts school.

The expressions on the faces of the two men were very strange.

However, they still led Shi Yun to the registration area of the martial arts school.

"Thirteenth Senior Brother, someone has come to register for the martial arts school."

The apprentice whispered to a gray-robed, muscular man.

Thirteenth Senior Brother was closing his eyes. Upon hearing this, he directly said, "Training at the martial arts school requires at least one month. You need to pay four taels of silver per month."

Shi Yun was not surprised by this.

He had already found out.

The Jinguang Martial Arts School charged four taels of silver per month.

He could just afford one month.

As for what would happen after one month, he would think of a way.

First, he needed to join the martial arts school.

"Alright, I'll register!"

Shi Yun did not hesitate and immediately took out the silver to register.

At this moment, "Thirteenth Senior Brother" opened his eyes.

"Swish."

Thirteenth Senior Brother's gaze fell on Shi Yun.

He frowned.

His gaze focused on Shi Yun's right leg.

"Don't rush, what's wrong with your leg?"

Thirteenth Senior Brother asked.

"Leg?"

Shi Yun's expression remained unchanged, and he replied calmly, "My right leg is useless."

"Useless?"

"Does that mean you're a cripple? How can a cripple practice martial arts?"

"Although our Jinguang Martial Arts School does not limit age or identity, we are martial artists. To practice martial arts, you need at least a healthy body."

"Otherwise, wouldn't our Jinguang Martial Arts School be full of blind and crippled people, making a mockery of us?"

"Therefore, we do not accept the disabled!"

Thirteenth Senior Brother firmly refused, and his words were not very polite.

The Jinguang Martial Arts School did not accept the disabled!

"I'll pay five taels of silver, even six taels of silver."

"Let me train for one month at the martial arts school."

"If it doesn't work, I won't come again."

"I just want a chance to practice martial arts!"

Shi Yun said firmly.

His tone was incredibly determined!

Thirteenth Senior Brother frowned.

He didn't expect Shi Yun to be so stubborn.

But how could a cripple practice martial arts?

Wouldn't that be ridiculous?

The Jinguang Martial Arts School indeed accepted all comers, but it had never accepted a cripple as a disciple.

However, the commotion here was quite loud.

Many apprentices had gathered around.

They all looked at Shi Yun curiously.

A cripple wanting to practice martial arts was indeed rare.

After all, everyone knew that practicing martial arts required a healthy body.

Practicing martial arts was to strengthen the body.

But without a healthy body, it was impossible to achieve anything in martial arts.

Even if he managed to practice,

A cripple, with limited mobility, could have what kind of combat ability?

"Thirteenth, why is it so noisy here?"

At this moment, a fifty-year-old, energetic old man walked over.

"Master!"

"This person has a disabled right leg but insists on joining the martial arts school."

"I didn't agree, and he kept pestering me."

Thirteenth Senior Brother respectfully replied.

This fifty-year-old old man was actually the founder of the Jinguang Martial Arts School!

A true martial artist, and one of the most powerful martial artists in all of Liucheng!
