"Would you like to practice martial arts?"
The dojo master was somewhat surprised.
When he founded the dojo, he indeed wanted to open its doors widely, regardless of one's background.
As long as one wanted to enter the dojo to practice martial arts, there was no problem.
However, he looked at Shi Yun's legs again and his brows furrowed slightly.
The dojo master sighed deeply and shook his head, saying, "Go back, don't waste your silver. Go home and live a good life."
"The martial arts of my Jingang Dojo are indeed not suitable for you."
The dojo master's attitude was gentle.
However, there was no room for negotiation in his words.
The Jingang Dojo would not accept Shi Yun.
Otherwise, it would surely become a laughingstock among the martial artists in Liucheng.
A cripple practicing martial arts?
It's simply impossible!
Shi Yun looked deeply at the dojo master.
He knew that since the dojo master had spoken, he would not be able to enter the Jingang Dojo.
"Second Sister, let's go."
Shi Yun did not say anything more. He let Shi Hui support him and turned to leave the Jingang Dojo.
The dojo master looked at Shi Yun and shook his head slightly, saying, "He has a stubborn streak."
"But even the strongest will is of no use."
"His body is not健全, it's impossible for him to achieve anything in martial arts!"
The people of the Jingang Dojo dispersed.
It was as if it was just a small episode, and no one cared.
Shi Yun looked back at the Jingang Dojo. He did not speak but immediately headed to the next dojo.
After all, Liucheng had many dojos.
It was just that, based on his previous analysis, the Jingang Dojo was the most suitable.
But it was not absolutely necessary to join the Jingang Dojo.
However, after Shi Yun visited the second, third, fourth, and fifth dojos,
He fell silent.
These dojos all rejected him.
Even when he offered a high price, they still refused.
All he wanted was a chance to practice martial arts.
"Brother Yun, if it really doesn't work out, let's go home and discuss it..."
Shi Hui was worried about her brother.
Being rejected by five dojos in a row.
This undoubtedly shook Shi Yun's confidence.
She was even afraid that Shi Yun would become disheartened.
Shi Yun took a deep breath.
He suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice, "The reason these dojos don't want me, even if I offer more silver, is simply because they think it would be a disgrace."
"Perhaps, accepting someone like me, a cripple, would make these dojos a laughingstock."
"But there is one dojo that will definitely accept me!"
"Originally, I didn't even consider this dojo."
"But now, I can only go there..."
So, Shi Yun and Shi Hui left these dojos and headed towards a secluded street in Liucheng.
Soon, they arrived at another dojo.
"Jinzhi Men!"
Shi Yun glanced at the sign of this dojo.
It was clearly a dojo, but the name sounded like a sect.
However, everyone knew it was a dojo.
The reason Shi Yun considered this dojo as his last resort, and only came here as a last resort,
Was only one.
Expensive!
This dojo was very expensive!
Almost extortionate.
As long as you paid, anyone could enter to learn martial arts.
But once you ran out of money,
Sorry, you would be immediately kicked out.
More importantly, Jinzhi Men's principle was not to protect its apprentices.
If you encountered problems outside, don't expect Jinzhi Men to intervene.
Therefore, Shi Yun did not want to come to Jinzhi Men unless absolutely necessary.
After all, he wanted to practice martial arts not only to become strong,
But also to find a temporary protector.
To make Xu Ergou, even if he knew Shi Yun was still alive, dare not harm him.
But Jinzhi Men would probably not make Xu Ergou hesitate at all.
After much consideration,
To practice martial arts, Jinzhi Men was Shi Yun's only hope.
No matter what, he had to try.
The two entered Jinzhi Men.
They found that there were many people in Jinzhi Men.
But, how to describe them?
Each one was shifty-eyed.
Or fierce and terrifying.
Or had a sinister aura.
None of them looked like good people.
In fact, those who came to Jinzhi Men to practice martial arts were more or less "abnormal."
After all, normal people could go to the Jingang Dojo or other dojos.
The price was lower, why come to Jinzhi Men?
Those who came to Jinzhi Men each had their own "secrets."
Shi Yun arrived at the registration area of Jinzhi Men.
There was a fierce, one-eyed, muscular man here.
The one-eyed man glanced at Shi Yun and Shi Hui, then focused on Shi Yun.
"Do you want to enter Jinzhi Men to practice martial arts?"
Shi Yun nodded and said, "Yes, I want to practice martial arts. I wonder if it's possible?"
"Is your leg temporarily lame or permanently disabled?"
The one-eyed man asked.
"Probably permanently disabled."
Shi Yun did not hide it.
"Ha, so you're a cripple."
"Nice, thinking of coming to Jinzhi Men shows that you're determined to practice martial arts."
"Other dojos probably wouldn't accept you, right? Hahaha, but it doesn't matter. In our Jinzhi Men, we accept everyone."
"Of course, as long as you pay!"
"Let me think, how much would the registration fee be for your condition?"
The one-eyed man immediately started calculating on an abacus.
Shi Yun's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do the registration fees for those who come to Jinzhi Men to practice martial arts differ?"
The one-eyed man looked at Shi Yun and sneered, "Of course they do."
"Look, that man in the short shirt."
"He's a big knife handler for the Blood Saber Gang, fighting for his life every day."
"But he's not yet qualified for the Blood Saber Gang to teach him martial arts. So, he came to our Jinzhi Men to practice martial arts."
"He pays thirteen taels of silver a month!"
"And that guy in silk, looking flashy. Hehe, he's a high-ranking official's illegitimate son, afraid to show his face."
"But he also wants to practice martial arts and control his own destiny. So, he pays twenty taels of silver a month."
"So, the registration fee for our Jinzhi Men varies from person to person, understand?"
Shi Yun understood.
Jinzhi Men was one word: black!
If you added two more words, it would be: very black!
This was clearly price gouging based on the person.
Shi Yun knew that if they had a choice, these people would not come to Jinzhi Men.
Unfortunately, most of them had no choice.
These people came to Jinzhi Men to practice martial arts almost out of necessity.
After all, their identities were such that many dojos would not accept them, fearing trouble.
However, from another perspective,
Jinzhi Men was quite interesting.
These people with troublesome identities, whom other dojos feared, were almost all accepted by Jinzhi Men.
It seemed they were not afraid of any trouble.
This indirectly proved that Jinzhi Men must have a very strong side.
Otherwise, how could it stand in Liucheng for so many years?
"So, what is my registration fee?"
Shi Yun took a deep breath and asked.
