章 40: High Tier Advanced Rank Wrestler Plane
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Throwing punches while launching himself forward, Chi Qiaosong mimicked the movement of a tiger as he performed them outside the greenhouse.
He performed the whole series of movements fluently, like the flow of water. Steam began to rise from his body, making him feel as if thousands of ants were climbing all over him. He was extremely uncomfortable, but that made him throw even harder punches.
With a loud thud, he broke another old tree in half.
He then looked for another tree to practice on. Both of his arms took on the illusion of a tiger's front legs. As he moved, one could faintly see the shadow of a tiger on him.
His proficiency, along with his skill, continued to rise as the feeling of ants crawling all over his body persisted. Energy continued to flow toward his arms and legs and turned into visible strength.
Unlike normal strength, visible strength was more of a buff.
Whenever visible strength was activated, the user's power would multiply.
That was how someone at the Wrestler Plane was able to fight more than ten, even 100 ordinary grown men alone, without any difficulty. Martial artists who could use visible strength were a few times stronger than ordinary people.
The young boy's strength continued to rise as he moved.
He was completely in a trance with his movements and felt as if he had been reborn.
Black Tiger Steals Heart, White Tiger Claw, Fierce Tiger Turn, Angered Tiger Penetrate, Evil Tiger Emerge, Crazed Tiger Roll, Hiding Tiger Stance, Young Tiger Awake, Baby Tiger Stretch, Tiger King Aura, and more.
Once he completed a set of movements, he would redo it again.
In the third set, after performing the last movement, the Tigers Return, a clear illusion of a tiger could clearly be seen behind him.
The illusion did not disappear right away.
Instead, it turned to glance at Chi Qiaosong for a while before disappearing.
About a dozen seconds after the tiger disappeared, crackles could be heard from the young boy's body. His height had instantly increased from 1.75 meters to 1.8 meters.
He still looked slim, but underneath his loose shirt was a well-built body.
The young boy was even exerting heavy pressure just by standing there.
He closed his eyes and felt the changes happening inside of him.
There were too many things for him to experience all at once to jump from knowing the fundamentals of the Fierce Tiger Heavy Fist to fully mastering it.
He couldn't help but find the feeling extraordinary.
It was as if he had studied martial arts for so long that he could clearly understand every minor detail. As strength filled his body, he did not feel any discomfort.
After a long while, he finally opened his eyes and looked at his hands. "This is a little disappointing..."
Although he had mastered the Fierce Tiger Heavy Fist, which had enforced his Wrestler Plane's foundation, he remained where he was and was still a huge step away from reaching the Warrior Plane.
However, he was already in the High Tier Advanced Rank.
"I really am not a one-in-a-million prodigy. I still couldn't enter the Warrior Plane even after mastering the Fierce Tiger Heavy Fist."
It was disappointing, but he wasn't affected by it as he had already known he wasn't talented.
With the farm, he would still be able to advance by mastering a lot of martial arts as long as there was enough fertilizer.
There was no need for him to hurry.
He smiled and suddenly remembered something.
"Shouldn't I take this chance to visit Mr. Hao?" he said to himself. "He won't yell at me for learning the White Rainbow Sword now that I've mastered the Fierce Tiger Heavy Fist in two months, right?"
The young boy went back home and looked for his mother. "Mom! Can you help me harvest a few fresh vegetables? I'm going to Mr. Hao's place later. I'll have to buy some new clothes first."
"Huh? Why do you need new clothes?"
"Look!" Chi Qiaosong extended his arms and legs to show his mother.
Now that he was 1.8 meters tall, the sleeves were too short for him.
"What happened? These weren't like this just now!"
"I've reached a new stage in martial arts, and my body has strengthened."
"Isn't that a great thing?" Mrs. Chi exclaimed. "Hurry up and go get a few new sets then. Do you have enough cash?"
"Yes, I do."
Since Chi Qiaosong had been hunting during his free time, he had saved up quite a lot of money.
He then headed into the city and bought two new sets of T-shirts, button-downs, and pants. After putting them on, he had to admit that a person could be transformed by wearing nice clothes. With his 1.8 meter height and fresh new clothes, he now looked dashing, especially when he already had an attractive face.
On his way back, he attracted a lot of attention from the ladies. Even a few older women chatted loudly, saying, "Hey! Look at that boy. Isn't he good-looking?"
If Chi Qiaosong were to have his hair cut, he was sure he could attract even more attention.
However, that wasn't the lifestyle he was aiming for.
"Hey! Kid! Stop!" someone suddenly yelled.
Chi Qiaosong turned around and saw a man handing him a name card.
"I'm a scout talent from Fuliang Fortune Studio. We're about to film a new television series and need handsome actors like you. Are you interested in joining our casting calls?"
"Me? Are you sure I'm good enough for it?"
"Of course! I'm confident in my scouting ability. You've seen the drama, Rice Family, right? I was the one who scouted the female lead, Liu Ying. She's super famous now and is frequently invited to reality shows hosted by Jiangyou TV."
"I don't know who she is..."
"You don't know her?"
"I don't have a TV at home," Chi Qiaosong honestly said, as a television was a luxury product that farmers could not afford.
Since his family was still at the start of building their business, they weren't at the point where they could enjoy life yet. That was why the rice cooker was the only expensive electrical appliance they had.
"That's not a problem. Just come to our audition and try it out. Then, if you manage to become the male lead, you'll have enough money to buy ten TVs if you want!"
Chi Qiaosong put the name card into his pocket and replied, "I'll consider it."
"Alright. But, don't take too long. The audition is happening soon, and you might miss your chance. So just contact me whenever you have the time. I'll only be here for a week."
"Okay."
Being scouted made the young boy's day. In his past life, he had always imagined how fancy his life would be if he were a celebrity. Since the Daxia Republic had invested in the film and television industry, many celebrities were in the country. However, it was still at a stage where the profession was still ridiculed by most.
However, despite that, once a celebrity managed to step into the spotlight, they would still have a huge fanbase.
Almost all scholars and warlords had a thing for actresses. They would spend a lot of money to entertain the actresses and do anything to date them.
Actors were also fancied by ladies from prestigious families.
The only difference between an actor and an actress was that the former had to be careful not to court the wrong woman. If that were to happen, they would most likely get a sack covered over their head on a random day and thrown into the river to be fed to the alligators. The strong martial artists were always known to be brutes as well.
That was just a small event that happened on Chi Qiaosong's way back home. The moment he got home, he had already completely forgotten about it.
He quickly took the bag of fresh vegetables and fruits that his mother had packed for him, got on his uncle's old bicycle, and headed to Hao Bozhao's house.
