The Ugly Prince: Prologue

Zhang Ping always considered himself a genius.

What kind of genius?

Martial arts, of course.

At the age of half a year, he was able to kick everything around him out of bed, even though most of the people he kicked were his eldest brother, his second brother, and his eldest sister, all the way up to his little red Quilt.

When he was a year old, he could punch people so hard that his father had to suppress his hands every time he held him, but that didn’t matter.
He had two feet.

When he was two years old, he accidentally threw the family’s egg-laying hen in the water jar.
For this reason, he learned from the ancients to smash the jar to save the chickens.
In the end, it is said that he was able to make a hole in the water tank, but because he cut the sound of the tank is too loud, he alarmed the big sister in the back room with children.
He saved the drowning hen, but from then on there was a hole in their water jar.

When he was three years old, he chased their wolfhound all over the yard.
Then Dawang got angry and almost bit off his little bird Frightened, he landed a punch on wang’s nose.
From then on, whenever Dawang saw Zhang Ping, he tucked his tail between his legs and ran far away to hide.

At the age of five, he was supposed to bring tile into the house.
Although the purpose is to help his father and brother repair the roof, but the result is that he kicked his eldest brother off.

When he was six years old, it was said that he had done a great thing.
He brought back two children from other villages, who had been abducted and sold.
It is said that even the county magistrate came out and specially came to Zhang Ping’s home to see him.
He magistrate also touched his head and said the child’s future is unlimited.

Zhang Ping’s parents told him all of this.
He himself doesn’t remember very well what happened before he was seven years old.

Maybe other kids have fuzzy memories between the ages of seven and twelve, but he doesn’t.

At the age of seven, he beat a boy in the village, named Er Niu, who was three years older than he was.
Zhang Ping beat Er Niu until he had a bloody nose and ran home crying for his mother.
His mother had to give up two cattle in reparation to settle this account, and she beat Zhang Ping afterwards.
After that, he was forbidden to fight by martial law.

It was the phrase “martial law” that finally made him understand that he was different from other children.
Actually, he is a master of martial arts.

From then on, Zhang Ping is unwilling to hit the children of the same village easily again.
Of course, it doesn’t count every time he helps his younger brothers out.

After Zhang Ping had a heart to learn martial arts, the martial arts of his family home was eventually insufficient.

Then he found a small parcel of blue cloth under his father’s suitcase and opened it.

It’s a broken book of martial arts.

Yes, it is definitely The Secret of Martial Arts! With his knowledge of martial arts, Zhang Ping only needed to see a few pages before he determined that this book will allow him to practice martial arts.
The problem is that over half of the book is damaged, so it is incomplete.
No wonder his father had to keep it.

But who is Zhang Ping? He’s a martial arts genius.
Self-styled or not, he was more sensitive to martial arts than anyone else in the family, so he decided to work out the missing points himself.

Just as he was going about his research and was about to discover something, something important happened to his family.

Speaking of them, the Zhangs in Fangding village are still a wealthy family, although they have many children.

Zhang Ping’s mother was able to have six sons and a daughter.
His elder sister had gotten married early, and second brother set up a family business after getting married.
Altogether, including eldest brother’s wife and their two children, and Zhang Ping’s grandparents, there were a total of 12 people.

Zhang Ping is fifteen years old.
The eldest was forty-two years old, and his brothers were younger, eight and two.

Although Zhang Ping’s family is large, his mother is an open-minded person and his eldest brother’s wife is a diligent housekeeper.
His grandmother has a little temper, but she can’t fight with his mother every time.

However, no matter how capable a person is, they will not be able to withstand both natural disasters and man-made disasters.
The family that his eldest sister married into does not help at all, second brother’s family still depends on his father’s house, and so does his father-in-law’s family.
This has been going on for two years already, with no change.

There are many men in his family, but there are few who go out to work.
Right now, sister-in-law is pregnant again, and mother and father don’t want to have to worry for her.

Seeing even the pregnant sister-in-law was too hungry to stand, his father finally gritted his teeth and sold one of his children into servitude.

Zhang Ping knew it would be difficult for two years, but he didn’t expect it to b
