Chapter 11

"Right now, I'm not your senior sister anymore, classmate. I think you should focus on your studies," Li Shuang said. She didn't want to get involved in this matter, even though deep down she still hoped her father would take him in.

Without further involvement, Li Shuang hung her police cap on the coat rack and leaned back on the sofa to watch TV.

"Uncle, you have such incredible martial arts skills. If you don't pass them down, they'll just rot in your stomach. Isn't that a waste? What if one day you're gone, and this skill is lost forever?" Wang Tian saw that the 'master's' daughter wasn't speaking up for him and became a bit anxious.

"Shut up!" Li Gang and his daughter spat at the same time. What kind of ominous words are these? This is cursing us to die.

"Considering you helped me push the car this morning, I'll let you stay for lunch. After that, you should go back where you came from," Li Gang was a bit angry. Martial artists are quite superstitious about these things.

"No, Uncle!" Wang Tian quickly called out.

After calming down, Li Gang suddenly realized that Wang Tian's words had some truth to them, even if they were harsh. He was the only successor to Xingyi Quan. Although his daughter studied hard, she could never reach the highest level. Living in seclusion, it was indeed difficult to find a disciple. Why not take one while he still had the ability? This kid doesn't seem evil, but I wonder about his potential?

Li Gang had already changed his mind.

"Xiao Shuang?" Li Gang called out to his daughter and gave her a meaningful look.

Li Shuang, who was watching TV intently, understood her father's meaning from his expression.

"Kid, stand up."

"What's up, Senior Sister?"

Wang Tian stood in front of her, a head taller. Now he could see Li Shuang's face clearly, and she was indeed very pleasant to look at. Wang Tian thought to himself.

Suddenly, Li Shuang moved with lightning speed, grabbing Wang Tian's arm and straightening it.

"Ah!" Wang Tian was caught off guard, but even if he had been prepared, he couldn't escape. He cried out.

Li Shuang pinched his right hand all over, then grabbed his other hand, pulling both arms behind his back. She lifted them up.

"Ouch..."

It really hurt! This girl was really harsh! Even with his pain sensitivity set to 90%, he still couldn't bear it. If he had known, he would have set it to 50%.

Why did she suddenly attack him? Was she trying to take him to the police station? It's not illegal to become a disciple, right? Wang Tian thought to himself.

After a few moves, Li Shuang released his arms and suddenly bent down, grabbing Wang Tian's ankles and lifting him upside down. Wang Tian was immediately inverted, and Li Shuang started pinching his legs. It was mid-summer, and Wang Tian's novice clothes were just a thin layer. The pants sagged due to gravity.

A large bulge appeared between his legs, and even the shape of his 'little Wang Tian' was visible. It was quite a sight! Li Shuang saw it right away and blushed slightly. She forced herself not to think about it and continued pinching his legs, moving downward.

"Hey! Senior Sister, if you keep this up, I'll be exposed!" Wang Tian called out, hoping she would put him down. Being held upside down was uncomfortable, and having his 'little brother' exposed in front of others was embarrassing.

Li Shuang ignored him and continued pinching, stopping just short of his vital areas.

"Huh..."

Li Shuang suddenly exclaimed.

"What? Is this kid's potential too poor for martial arts?" Li Gang asked. If that were the case, it would be easier for him.

"No, take a look yourself." Li Shuang put Wang Tian down, and he stood up.

"Again?" Wang Tian was afraid Li Gang would also invert him.

However, Li Gang didn't do that. He just grabbed his arm and tightly pinched it a few times. Wang Tian felt his hand like an iron clamp, confirming that he was a master.

What's so strange about his hand? Li Gang's expression turned serious.

Could it be...

The legendary once-in-a-thousand-years potential, the 'Double-Edged Sword'? People with the 'Double-Edged Sword' potential have arms that are different from others. Their arms can rotate at any angle, and once they start training, their strength is ten times that of ordinary people. Because of this, many techniques can be performed with greater power and can be used to surprise opponents.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad..." Li Gang nodded, as if he had found a treasure. With such potential, anyone would want to take him in. Today, he had come to him voluntarily, and Li Gang felt incredibly lucky. His Xingyi Quan was at level 9, but it hadn't reached the Grandmaster level. The Grandmaster level was a qualitative leap from level 9, and the power was incomparable. If he taught him diligently, it wasn't impossible for him to reach the Grandmaster level. With such potential, he could rival the founder of Xingyi Quan.

However, if such a person turned bad, no one could stop him, and Li Gang would be a sinner to his school.

Li Gang's expression was uncertain, and he found it hard to make a decision.

"Master, will you take me as a disciple? What about my potential?" Wang Tian was overjoyed, thinking he had a good chance of becoming a disciple and eager to know if he was suitable for martial arts.

"Whether I take you as a disciple or not, we'll have to wait a bit. Your potential is good, but the character of a martial artist is more important. If a martial artist has a bad character, the higher their skills, the greater the harm to society..."

"Master, do I look like a bad person? I'm just a student; how could I harm society?" Wang Tian quickly expressed his intentions.

Indeed, Wang Tian's handsome appearance and demeanor would make anyone think he wasn't a bad person. Moreover, he couldn't possibly become a bad person. If he did, the game system would judge all bad people as NPCs, and the police and ordinary people as 'human monsters.' He wouldn't dare to face millions of 'human monsters.'

"Alright, answer my question again, but think carefully this time. Remember, you only have one chance. If your answer isn't satisfactory, go back on your own; don't make me kick you out," Li Gang looked at him coldly.

The previous question? Why he wanted to learn martial arts.

To be honest, Wang Tian's goal for learning martial arts was to 'level up by defeating monsters.' But in the NPC world, it wasn't like that. If he weren't a player, why would he want to learn martial arts?

Wang Tian asked himself.

Earlier, he had said it was for fitness and to fight evil and protect the good, but that was a superficial and insincere answer. Li Gang must have noticed. Now, he was asking again, clearly wanting to know his true thoughts.

Why did he want to learn martial arts?

Wang Tian thought back to his past.

Wang Tian hadn't seen his father since he was three years old. His mother raised him and his sister alone. She was a beautiful woman with the grace of a lady. Raising two children as a single mother was already difficult, let alone a beautiful woman. He remembered when he was five, a thug would harass his mother daily, often bullying them.

Once, the thug, drunk, cornered them at home. His mother locked the door tightly. The thug kept shouting and banging on the door. His mother hid him and his sister in a corner, trembling with fear.

Another time, his sister wanted ice cream, so Wang Tian stole one from a street vendor. He was chased for two streets, and the fear he felt during that chase still lingered...

"I want to learn martial arts to protect the people I love and to make my family's life better," Wang Tian loosened his fists and took a deep breath, saying.

"Good! That's the answer I wanted to hear," Li Gang said. "You saying this shows you've had extraordinary experiences and have a loving heart for your family. A person with love can't be bad. Those who say they learn martial arts to fight evil and protect the good are all hypocrites. I'll take you as my disciple." Li Gang said with a sense of righteousness, showing he was a man of principle.

"Thank you, Master!" Wang Tian was overjoyed.

"By the way, do I need to perform any formalities, like bowing nine times or burning incense?" Wang Tian asked, fearing Li Gang would say yes.

"What era are we in? No need for such formalities. Saying I'll take you as a disciple is enough," Li Gang chuckled.

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Wang Tian, still happy, thanked Li Shuang.

"Why thank me? You should focus on your training and don't disgrace your Master or me," Li Shuang rolled her eyes but was secretly pleased. Not only did she have a handsome junior, but the house would be livelier. By warning him not to disgrace them, she had already considered him part of the family.

"How do you plan to arrange your time? Remember, you're still a student," Li Gang asked.

"I plan to come to learn martial arts in the morning and go to school in the afternoon," Wang Tian replied. He had never planned to go to college and hadn't studied seriously, so he wasn't sure if he could catch up.

"Good. Martial arts are important, but so is your education. In modern society, knowledge is still very important," Li Gang was very satisfied with his answer.

"Let's chat. I'll go make lunch," Li Shuang, seeing it was getting late, stood up and said.

Make lunch? That was his forte; his cooking skills were already at an intermediate level.

"Senior Sister, you've been busy all day. Let me do it," Wang Tian said.

"Sure, I don't want to cook anyway," Li Shuang was very happy. She had learned Xingyi Quan from her father since childhood and later went to police school, making her more masculine. Cooking was a chore for her.

"Good. If your Senior Sister cooks, it'll be fish again. I'm tired of it," Li Gang smiled, pleased with Wang Tian's diligence.

"Alright, I'll go then."

There were only three rooms, so the kitchen was easy to find. Wang Tian walked into the kitchen, opened his bag, and saw that Li Shuang had bought a live fish at the market.
