"Hello, shopkeeper. I am the disciple of Master Qin from the Martial Academy. Master Qin asked me to come to you to buy a pair of hard-soled leather boots."

Seeing the female shopkeeper wake up, Gu Yang immediately retracted his gaze and told her the purpose of his visit.

Then, he explained, "I was looking at you just now, and I also wanted to ask if you were the shopkeeper of this shop, but I saw that you were taking a nap, so I didn't disturb you rashly."

As he said that, he picked up the cloth bag in his hand and placed it on the counter of the shop.

"This is ten kilograms of black tiger meat. Master Qin said that black tiger meat can be used to pay for the purchase of boots."

"Qin Hu? Isn't he training new people? How can he have a disciple as old as you?"

The female shopkeeper stood up and walked to Gu Yang, opened the cloth bag, took out the frozen black tiger meat and looked at it carefully for a few times, then raised her head, pointed a finger at a chair against the wall, and said: "Sit over there and take off your shoes."

"I am a villager near Mangshan. Last month..." Gu Yang briefly explained his situation, sat on the chair swiftly, and took off his shoes.

"Oh, interesting little guy." While talking, the female shopkeeper went back to the inner room and took out the tape measure for measuring size.

Although he didn't know whether this female shopkeeper was his "master's wife", Gu Yang was sure that she must be a professional shoemaker.

In just a short while, the female shopkeeper measured the size of Gu Yang's feet.

"Come and get the shoes in three days." After instructing Gu Yang, the female shopkeeper carried the bag of black tiger meat into the inner room of the shop.

Gu Yang nodded and took note, and immediately stood up to say goodbye.

However, before he walked out of the door, he was called back by the female shopkeeper, "Here, this is the change for you."

Looking at the two taels of silver thrown on the counter by the other party, Gu Yang was puzzled, "The change for me?"

"Yes, five taels of silver for ten catties of black tiger meat, and three taels of silver for a pair of hard-soled cowhide boots, so isn't it normal to give you two taels of difference?" The female shopkeeper said lightly.

"Oh, it's normal, thank you shopkeeper..."

Grabbing the silver on the counter and holding it tightly in his hand, Gu Yang felt very complicated.

Five taels of silver for ten catties of tiger meat, twenty catties is ten taels.

When he took the bag of black tiger meat from Qin Hu, it was the second day after he entered the martial arts academy.

"I owe you a big favor." Gu Yang muttered to himself, and greeted the female shopkeeper again, and then turned and left.

The sun was rising and the morning mist was everywhere.

In the martial arts arena, a group of disciples were practicing sparring. Only Gu Yang in the corner was practicing Yangxue Zhuanggong with concentration. No one dared to disturb him.

Since Gu Yang defeated Xiahou Ji with seven punches the day before yesterday, no one in the entire square formation dared to practice with him.

No other reason, just not wanting to be abused.

“Exhale, inhale…”

Adjusting the breathing rhythm, matching the fist and foot movements, body rhythm, as the Zhuanggong unfolded, Gu Yang’s physical strength was rapidly fading.

“Bang~”

The right toe exerted force and stepped heavily on the ground. The dark blue cowhide short boots on his feet did not deform or twist at all.

One action after another, after two quarters of an hour, a whole set of Zhuanggong movements were practiced. Gu Yang finally put away his posture, inhaled and stood upright.

It had been seven days since he went to Sanyuanfang to buy leather boots.

Four days ago, after he got the leather boots, he put them on directly.

I have to say that the three taels of silver were really worth it.

Compared to the previous cloth shoes, in addition to the far greater comfort of the soles, the quality of the leather boots was completely beyond his imagination.

This dark blue cowhide was definitely not taken from ordinary oxen or beef cattle, but more likely from some kind of fierce beast, so that it could withstand the explosive power of the warrior's feet.

Fierce beasts refer specifically to wild beasts whose combat power can be comparable to that of warriors.

In the stories passed down by word of mouth in Houshan Village, there are fierce beasts in the depths of Mangshan, but those fierce beasts live in the depths of the mountains, far away from the gathering places of human race, and ordinary people will never see them in their lifetime.

"Hu..."

After a light breath, it turned into white mist in the air, Gu Yang closed his eyes and looked at the starlight in front of him.

[Talent: Vitality emerges, power surges. 】

During these seven days, Li Zhiwu no longer came to him for practice, so he spent most of his time practicing Yangxue Zhuanggong.

With a desire for strength, Gu Yang practiced very hard.

According to past experience, military ration pills can fully support the consumption of nutrients in the body caused by a three-day practice of a martial artist.

But Gu Yang managed to completely digest a military ration pill in more than two and a half days.

From this point, we can see how hard he practiced during this period.

It can be said that in a whole day, except for occasionally practicing the movements of Canglongwu for a while to relax his mind, he practiced Yangxue Zhuanggong at other times.

Whether it is day or night, whether in the martial arts academy or at home, you can see him practicing Zhuanggong.

And it was in this crazy state that Gu Yang was able to advance the proficiency of Yangxue Zhuanggong to the current level in just seven days.

The proficiency has risen to 90%, and within two days, Zhuanggong can break through again!

“Gu Yang, practice with me again!”

Suddenly, Li Zhiwu’s voice sounded, and Gu Yang suddenly opened his eyes and looked to his side.

"I just challenged Xiahou Ji, and I defeated him with only seven punches. Now, I am not inferior to you!"

At this moment, Li Zhiwu's eyes were full of fighting spirit and confidence.

Obviously, during the seven days of "disappearance", he was definitely not idle, and must have spent it in hard training.

"Okay." Seeing Li Zhiwu so confident, Gu Yang did not refuse.

But...

"The money can't be less!" Gu Yang added with a smile.

"Okay, no problem." Li Zhiwu gritted his teeth and nodded in response, "Come on."

The two of them distanced themselves again and stood opposite each other.

This time, Li Zhiwu didn't even say hello, and rushed directly to Gu Yang with one foot.

"Interesting." Gu Yang narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, and took the initiative to meet him.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

In just a blink of an eye, the two collided four or five times.

"Li Zhiwu should have made breakthroughs in both boxing and footwork." Just in the initial fight, Gu Yang noticed the opponent's progress, which was great.

His strength increased significantly, and his punches and footwork were much more sophisticated than before.

But, it was not enough!

"Bang!"

With one punch, Li Zhiwu staggered back and finally sat on the bluestone floor.

Gu Yang just stood there and watched him retreat step by step, without chasing him.

Li Zhiwu raised his head suddenly and looked at Gu Yang, asking in disbelief: "How is it possible? How can you be so strong? Didn't you also use seven punches to defeat Xiahou Ji?"
