Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 32 Ten Days

 “Okay, brother, keep your word.”

 Chen Yue chuckled.

Although the children of poor people have already become parents, they are still only fifteen years old. In addition, in the few years after their father left, they were almost single-handedly raised by Chen Mu, so they still have some childishness.

Chen Mu touched Chen Yue's little head, talked to Xiao He for a while, and then watched Xiao He take Chen Yue away.

 Look back.

 Saw Wang Ni’s half-figure hiding behind the door.

 Chen Yue went to the inner city to practice martial arts and asked Wang Ni to follow him as a maid. Chen Mu asked himself that it was not so shameless, not to mention that Wang Ni was too young, only ten years old.

“Your sister Yue is gone, go back to the house.”

"…Um."

Wang Ni responded timidly and returned to the yard.

Chen Mu stood at the door, looked at the direction Chen Yue left for a while, and then returned to the house.

I wonder if Chen Yue can show some talent when he goes to the inner city to practice martial arts. He doesn't know much about bone bones yet. I did a little test on Chen Yue's body bones last night. It feels like he should be better than him. , but it’s not clear whether it’s the best.

 Chen Mu naturally hopes that Chen Yue can achieve success in martial arts. Although he does not mind Chen Yue being a little vase who has always been protected by him, it is always better to be outstanding.

 In fact,

No matter how outstanding Chen Yue is, it will be difficult to truly leave his wings, because I am afraid that no matter how outstanding and talented the person is in this world, the kind of hero who tops the Xuan Dynasty, I am afraid that he cannot compare to his system. panel.

Unless he can be strangled in the cradle, like the ambush yesterday, as long as he is given enough time, he will definitely climb higher step by step, and eventually conquer the world.

 “Practice.”

Chen Mu took a deep breath, returned to the backyard, and started practicing his sword skills.

Now that he has mastered skin resurfacing, his physical condition has improved significantly. The daily resurfacing process can be reduced from two times to three times, which is completely bearable. He spends his other free time practicing sword skills.

At the City Guards Department, he planned to go and say hello occasionally during these days. Anyway, there was nothing that needed him to do, and Min Baoyi probably didn't want him to do anything either.

In Min Baoyi's opinion, the most important thing for Chen Mu to be able to achieve a small or even a perfect level of skin-polishing as early as possible. With Chen Mu's ability to understand the power of the sword, as long as he can achieve a small or even perfect level of skin-polishing, even if he does not step into meat training, at least for ordinary people It would be difficult to threaten him again, like that kind of ambush in the alley, which would only deal with a character who has not yet fully tempered his body.

Once the skin is polished, quicklime is useless. Even the weapons of ordinary villains who have never practiced martial arts may not be able to cut through the tough skin after polishing, so there is no threat.

that's all,

 Ten days go by in a blink of an eye.

It can be said that the past ten days have been uneventful, and the previous ambush has completely disappeared. The entire Jiutiao has become comfortable... Of course, this comfort is only for a person of status like Chen Mu, so For the poor at the bottom, they still struggle with taxes from the government, extortion from gangs, and banditry.

As the leader, Chen Mu knows all these things clearly, but he is not just filled with righteous indignation, and suddenly sets up some great ambition to change the world. It is not that he is cold and ruthless, but that he will not do anything extra. thing.

If one day he achieves great success and becomes a prominent figure in the Daxuan Dynasty, then he may be able to rewrite the world according to his own ideas, but now he is just a poor person and does not have that ability.

"enough."

 Getting up from the sand pit again.

 Chen Mu called up the system panel and saw that the accumulated experience points finally exceeded 300 points, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Three hundred experience points are enough for him to break through from a small level of skin grinding to a great level. This kind of speed and progress will probably make even the most amazing people in the inner city sigh.

 There is no rush either.

　　I still washed the mud off my body first, and then returned to the house. After my body recovered, I adjusted my thoughts and breathing, and then I called up the system panel and chose to upgrade the Golden Jade Skin Resurfacing Method.

The touch this time was not as intense as the last time, although it was still a turbulent change that suddenly exploded in the body, as if a ball of hot blood exploded through the heart through the whole body, rushing to the skin membranes all over the body, causing unspeakable pain. , but Chen Mu did not faint like last time, but endured it forcefully.

certainly. In his opinion, it would be better to faint, because the pain was much more intense than when he was improving his skills. He curled up into a ball, almost biting the pillow to bits, and held on for who knows how long. The pain from thousands of needles and hairpins all over his body gradually subsided.

　　Nearly all the clothes on his body were soaked with sweat, and even the mattress underneath was soaked to a large extent.

 His whole body was even more limp and weak, and he was on the verge of collapse.

Chen Mu let go of the pillow, exhaled a breath, and stretched his body reluctantly. After a while, he gathered some strength and sat up from the bed.

 When his body recovered a little, Chen Mu got up, poured a bowl of the decoction he had prepared in advance to replenish his blood, drank it in a slurp, and then called Wang Ni over to change the wet bed quilt.

Wang Ni was raised by Chen Yue to be obedient and well-behaved. She didn't even ask what was going on, so she just hugged the quilt and changed the sheets. She was still a little curious about how Chen Mu could wet the bed, but the smell was not that strange.

Chen Mu didn't care what Wang Ni wanted to do.

He went to the side room next to him to adjust his breathing. About half an hour later, the decoction to replenish his blood and water gradually took effect, and his body's strength slowly recovered. When he clenched his fist, he became calm and strong again.

 “It’s done.”

 Chen Mu could already feel the changes in his body relatively clearly at this time.

Compared with before, the energy and blood in his body are stronger. If he exerts the power of the sword with all his strength, the breath will be longer. Even if he is faced with the siege of thirty or forty villains, he can still defeat them all with one force. When you kill everything, you won't be short of breath or overexerted and need to take a breath to relieve yourself.

Secondly, the skin membrane on the body is stronger and stronger. On the surface, it does not seem to have much change, except that the skin color becomes a little darker, showing a healthier wheat-colored skin, but in fact its toughness is comparable to the skin of a wild cow.

How tough is cowhide?

 With a slightly duller knife, if you cut it hard, you may only be able to cut a layer of white marks, but it will not be able to crack it.

The skin of the human body has become as tough as cowhide, and the resistance and endurance are naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people. It can be said that even if Chen Mu doesn't know how to use a knife now, he can chop randomly with only one knife, but he still doesn't know how to use it against ten people. Fa, a villain without physical training, after a fierce battle, he must be the one standing in the end.

“The power of the knife, at the stage of sharpening skin and flesh, can almost make up for a huge gap in realm.”

 Chen Mu whispered in his heart.

A few days ago, he had consulted with Min Baoyi on kung fu, and he learned some things from Min Baoyi. For example, if a person who is a master of skin grinding can master the sword's power, then even if he is dealing with a person who has little skill in meat training, as long as the opponent has not mastered the sword's power, he can still compete with him. .

There are fewer people who can master the power of the sword than martial artists who have entered the realm of meat training.

But as you go up, the gap between physiques will gradually increase. For example, Min Baoyi said that he has perfect physical training and has sword skills. Against a person who has achieved "Yi Jin Xiao Cheng", even if the opponent does not Even if he knew how to use a sword, it would be difficult to defeat him.

In fact, there are relatively few people who can practice the body tempering method to the third level of 'Yi Jin', and those who don't know how to use the sword.

The reason is also very simple. There is a unique gap between Lianrou and Yijin. You need to rely on a specific 'Strengthening Muscle Powder' to bridge the gap. This kind of medicinal powder is extremely expensive and generally speaking, you have never mastered it.' It is also difficult for powerful people to obtain this kind of medicine powder, unless they are direct descendants of big families.

These are the things Chen Mu learned from Min Baoyi. For him, it is neither close nor far, because at least he will soon be able to get through the realm of skin grinding, and after practicing meat, It’s time to consider Yijin.

“With the success of skin grinding, even an ambush of dozens of people has little meaning to me. It is already difficult for ordinary people to do anything to me, but against a character like Min Baoyi, I still can’t stop him in one round.”

Chen Mu is very clear about his position and is not secretly happy about the few achievements at this time.

Even if he doesn't reach the level of Min Baoyi, he still needs to practice his physical skills to a small degree and then master the 'second power'. His strength will be considered the number one figure in this outer city. Before that, he still needs to be cautious.

“Perfect impact resurfacing requires one thousand experience points.”

With my current physique, I can probably do skin resurfacing four times a day. If I can absorb one more dose of the medicine, it will probably take less than a month to collect these 1,000 experience points.

Chen Mu nodded secretly in his heart. Although the two medicinal powders for internal and external use were relatively expensive, he did not consume excessively. At most, it was still completely affordable for a few dozen taels of silver. He was even more economical than others. There are too many.
