Chapter 37 Superb Skills

Kneading, molding, cutting, and rolling, all done in one smooth motion.

Even though Xiao Bing has done it countless times, Li Hong and others couldn’t help but stare. This was art.

Su Xiaoxiao’s father’s hand-pulled noodles were no worse than Xiao Bing, but he could not create this artistic feeling. They did not know that Xiao Bing had incorporated Tai Chi into making noodles.

Stroke, squeeze, press, pick, pull, knead, lean.

Overcome the strong by applying soft methods. Couple hardness with softness. He used all the Tai Chi methods to make noodles.

Xiao Bing has acquired the essence of Tai Chi. After the noodles were made and were put into the pot, a pair of twins in their 30s were sitting in the hall, cheering and applauding at the same time.

The two men looked exactly the same. Rat-faced was a fitting word to describe them. A mustache could be found on their face too. When they cheered, their voice was sharp and thin, and it sounded like two eunuchs from the ancient palace. The sound made people have goosebumps.

Everyone’s eyes were attracted by the two strange people. Xiao Bing glanced at them and didn’t say anything.

Yezi came up with a towel and helped Xiao Bing wipe the sweat from his forehead.

“Hey, you’re doing well in Tai Chi. I have plenty of money. Come and do two more sets to please us.”

One of them pulled out a few pieces of money and threw them on the table, shouting in a shrill voice.

Xiao Bing looked at them and was not surprised that they could see through his Tai Chi. He said calmly, “You’re not bad and could tell that I used Tai Chi. But you think my Tai Chi was just so-so, which proved that your eyes are only at that level.”

“Yo ho.” This man squatted on the chair in shabby cloth shoes. After looking at Xiao Bing, he said with a smile, “You’re quite rampant. This grandpa is called Bao Erdun. And next to me is your second grandpa, Bao Ertai. After hearing what you said, I’d like to learn about your unusual Tai Chi.”

Xiao Bing laughed loudly, “Sister Hong, bring me some flour.”

Li Hong didn’t know what Xiao Bing was going to do, but she did as she was told. She went to the kitchen to bring up water and flour. Wang Guifang followed her out the back door. Obviously, she had also heard that someone was making trouble in the restaurant.

Recently, the restaurant was not quiet. There was always someone making trouble. Today it was these rat-like twins. No one knew how Xiao Bing would handle it.

After the water and flour were placed in front of Xiao Bing, he began to pour the water evenly into the flour. While kneading the dough, he glanced at Bao Erdun and Bao Ertai and said with a smile, “You can challenge my Tai Chi. But you can’t do it alone. You have to do it together.”

Bao Erdun struck the table and said angrily, “Boy, how dare you look down on your Grandpa?”

Xiao Bing laughed, “That’s not what I mean. It’s just that my Tai Chi has a characteristic. I’ll be stronger if my opponent is stronger. If I fight with you alone, my strength might not be enough to defeat a little kid. We won’t enjoy the fight.”

“That makes sense,” Bao Erdun said.

He didn’t realize it until Yezi and the others burst into laughter. Wasn’t this still a roundabout way of saying that he was too weak?

Bao Erdun changed into a fierce face. He eyes gleamed with ferociousness, “Since you said so, we’ll go together. But blades have no eyes. Don’t lose your life.”

The twins each drew a sharp knife at the same time. Many customers began to scream and hide. But none of them left the noodle restaurant. Obviously, they wanted to continue watching the fight.

Yezi frowned slightly and said, “Brother Bing, they came here prepared and are ready to make trouble.”

“I know.” Xiao Bing smiled confidently and began to make the dough. The twins looked at each other, then headed for Xiao Bing with their sharp knives, screaming.

If Xiao Bing was killed, a sum of money would be arranged to let them hide temporarily and come back before long.

Today they only came for one purpose, killing!

The Peony Fairy’s first move was ready. Pretend to have a conflict and then kill Xiao Bing by accident. If they killed him, it was all about the Bao family’s two brothers and had nothing to do with others. Moreover, the North Heavenly Queen would arrange for the two of them to escape. If he could not be killed, they will also gauge the strength of Xiao Bing.

The Bao brothers were both masters of Bone Refining under the Peony Fairy. They were only one step away from the Clear Strength stage. But because the two brothers were twins, they had a tacit understanding each other. Even if they met ordinary Clear Strength masters, they wouldn’t be defeated.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, attacked Xiao Bing at the same time. They cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding. They sealed off all of Xiao Bing’s escape routes in an instant. Unfortunately, Xiao Bing had no intention of withdrawing. Yezi was beside him. He could not retreat, and he did not need to.

Xiao Bing inserted his hands into the dry flour that had not yet been poured into the basin, grabbed a handful of flour and threw it into the air like a mist. The powdered flour was like a hidden weapon and caused them to sniff. The Bao brothers waved their sleeves and retreated back. After all the flour had been swept down to the ground, Xiao Bing had rubbed out many long strands of noodles.

The Bao brothers cursed and felt extremely humiliated. They rushed up again, but this time they didn’t have a chance to get close. Xiao Bing grabbed one end of the pile of noodles that had been kneaded and twisted his wrist. The countless noodles were like a big net, lashing out toward the Bao brothers.

Bao Erdun laughed, “Boy, can a pile of stupid noodles beat people?”

His younger brother Bao Ertai jumped toward Xiao Bing, laughing, “He is a silly bird without a head…”

With a “Papa!”, two noodles passed by his dagger and went directly to his mouth.

Bao Ertai widened his eyes and cursed, “What the fuck…”

Papapa… Countless noodles were lashed on his face, chest, thigh, shoulder, and forehead. He was dizzy. Meanwhile, Bao Erdun didn’t get any better. The noodle in Xiao Bing’s hand turned into whips and started to tear their clothes into pieces. Their bodies and faces were covered with blood. At last, the two of them tried to escape but they couldn’t avoid those whips. They jumped around in the net of noodles like jumping monkeys.

When they became tired and unable of jumping, they fell to the ground full of scars, Xiao Bing took all the noodles back into the basin. Then, looking at the blood on the noodles, Xiao Bing sighed and said to himself, “The noodles are stained with dirty blood and can’t be eaten anymore. Aunt Wang, take them to the kitchen and pour them out for me. Meanwhile, give the basin a good scrub.”

“Ah… ok… ok.” Wang Guifang has just been completely dazzled. It was her first time seeing such incredible kungfu in real life.

Yezi’s eyes sparkled and said excitedly, “Using flowers to hurt people, using noodles as a medium, and transmitting strength through your wrists to hurt people. Should this be the highest realm of Concealing Strength?”

Bao Erdun widened his eyes and spat out one mouthful blood. He stood up, trembling, and his face was full of disbelief. He warbled, “Concealing Strength, the legendary Concealing Strength.”

Training of Qi, Bone Refining, Clear Strength, Concealing Strength, and Transforming Strength were the five realms of legendary masters.

Training of Qi is the first realm that can exercise human endurance and toughness. Once one reaches a certain level, the trainer can march a long distance within a day without feeling tired.

Bone Refining is the second realm. To reach this realm, one’s body can be as hard as bricks and one can break bricks with their bare hands.

The Clear Strength stage is the third realm, a combination of the first two, a symbol of Hard Qigong’s real development, and a qualitative leap. Although it is impossible to be unaffected by weapons and bullets, ordinary fists and kicks don’t cause much harm.

As for the Concealing Strength stage… If the Clear Strength is physical skill, the Concealing Strength is an internal skill. It can be achieved by hurting something without touching it. Trainers in this stage could hit a person’s body part and leave the surface unscathed, but damage the internal organs. It is already a kind of state that would sound shocking in modern society.

As for Transforming Strength stage, it is really to achieve mastery through a comprehensive study of the inside and outside. It could kill without anyone seeing it.

The Clear Strength is hardness. The Concealing Strength is softness. The Transforming Strength is to combine hardness and softness to release endless power.

The Bao brothers didn’t expect this humble noodle restaurant boy to turn out to be a Concealing Strength master. They were terrified, stood up trembling, and staggered out the restaurant.

Yezi said, “You just let them go?”

Xiao Bing laughed, “How could I have proof that somebody wants me killed if I don’t let them go? Let it go. I think if they know my strength, no matter who it is, they will not dare to make another move.”

At this time the noodle restaurant was full of applause. They couldn’t understand what Xiao Bing and Yezi talking about, but they could see what just happened, and how dazzling Xiao Bing’s kungfu was. Even they just stared at it with wide eyes, but now they began to regret not recording it.

Li Hong and Zhang Jing both cheered, “Brother Bing, what kind of kungfu did you just do? It was awesome. You are our idol.”

Xiao Bing laughed, “I didn’t forget that when Ye Tianming came earlier, you were all crazy about him.”

The two girls’ faces turned red. Zhang Jing stuck out her tongue and said, “I didn’t know you were so handsome earlier. Yezi, no wonder you have a crush on our Brother Bing. You have good taste.”

Yezi smiled, satisfied, then suddenly stretched out her pink fist and hit Xiao Bing on his head. With a shout, Xiao Bing covered his head and cried, “What are you doing?”

Yezi, like a little tiger, shook her pink fists ferociously and cried, “It looks like I need to lock you up in the kitchen to make noodles in the future. See what kind of expressions they have when they look at you.”

Xiao Bing smiled and gently held Yezi in his arms, softly asked, “Are you jealous?”

There was a touch of shame and joy in the eyes of Yezi. She smiled shyly, “I would never be jealous.”

“It doesn’t matter… I will prove to them and let them know who is my real mistress.”

Yezi said shyly and timidly, “How… how do you plan to prove it?”

Xiao Bing’s lips gradually got close. Their breaths became rapid. Xiao Bing only felt his heart pounding. Looking at Yezi’s red lips and those nifty and shy eyes, Xiao Bing hesitated. Either that or he felt expectation and fear when facing his goddess.

As Xiao Bing hesitantly approached the lips of Yezi, she suddenly tiptoed and kissed Xiao Bing. The two of them kissed. Xiao Bing only felt the sweet tip of her tongue slip gently into his mouth, smooth, tender, and soft.

Xiao Bing also stuck out his tongue. He opened his mouth to gently wrap the soft and tender little snake, and sucked on each other.

Su Xiaoxiao saw this scene after just walking to the door. She stopped and turned pale. And then she turned and left. Meanwhile, Xiao Bing was still immersed in happiness and sweetness.
