Start from the Martial Arts

"Kaka!"

All the muscles and bones in Fang Xiu's body seemed to be squeezing and rubbing, making slight sounds.

Under the skin, it was like a living thing was squirming, causing severe pain like tearing.

"Hi~!"

Fang Xiu gritted his teeth and endured the pain. A powerful force seemed to burst out from his bone marrow and finally spread throughout his body.

Compared to the pain in his body, this power made Fang Xiu feel comfortable all over.

He had just broken through the physical barrier and was feeling full of strength in his body. At this moment, due to the upgrade of his destiny, his strength increased again.

In a daze, it was like breaking through two levels in a row.

When the pain in the body disappeared, Fang Xiu adapted to the changes in the body.

At this time, the words on the Book of Destiny were completely clear.

[Lord: Fang Xiu (First Level)]

[Fortune: Strengthen muscles and bones]

[Grade: Green·Second Grade]

[Effect: physical strength increased by 600 kilograms, exercise effect improved, tendon-easing and bone-building effects strengthened (can be improved)]

"Six hundred pounds of strength!"

"Strengthen your muscles and bones!"

Fang Xiu was surprised and happy.

"The person who borrowed his life..."

Soon, Fang Xiu noticed that after the fate of [Strong Body] was upgraded from the first level to the second level [Strong Muscles and Bones], the item of 'life-borrower' disappeared.

"What do you mean... [strengthening muscles and bones] is not considered a 'borrowed' fate?"

Fang Xiu made a guess in his mind.

However, he didn't notice any difference, so he walked out of the barrel, dried his body, and prepared to test the changes in his body after breaking the level.

Fang Xiu came to the door and stood still. His body gradually exerted strength, his skin began to tighten, and his muscles became engorged and swollen with blood.

After breaking through the meat barrier and entering the meat refining realm, Fang Xiu clearly found that when his body exerted force, his power became more concentrated.

He listened carefully and could even hear the slight sound of muscles tensing and accumulating strength.

Snap!

Fang Xiu concentrated his strength, circulated his Qi, and punched out fiercely. There was an obvious explosion in the air, as if someone was clapping his hands.

"This is......"

Fang Xiu's eyes changed slightly. In the punch just now, he used the first form of Thunder Fist, "Flat Ground Thunder", and its power was already comparable to the punch Li Shan used when he was teaching.

With this thought, Fang Xiu flew to the middle of the courtyard.

Bang bang bang!

He used the second form of Thunder Fist to gather mosquitoes into thunder, and when he punched hard with both fists, there were continuous explosions in the air.

In order to confirm, Fang Xiu took off his shirt directly on the freezing cold winter night, wearing only a pair of training trousers, and boxed in the snow in the garden.

Bang bang bang!

The explosion in the air did not weaken at all. Fang Xiu stopped and looked at his fists.

"Doesn't this mean that my power is comparable to..."

For those who practice external martial arts, it is said that ‘a thousand pieces of gold can’t buy a sound’.

This is the state of Ming Jin.

However, ‘this sound’ is not ‘that sound’.

It doesn't matter if the action makes a sound.

After a martial artist develops his strength, the power and speed of his punches undergo a qualitative change, and he can instantly explode with a force of more than a thousand kilograms, which is why he makes such a clear explosion.

Of course, this does not mean that someone with a huge strength is a Ming Jin martial artist.

But only Ming Jin martial arts master can easily exert a huge force.

The human body has limits.

The strength of a warrior in the dermabrasion realm is around 200 kilograms, not more than 300 kilograms.

The meat refining realm is generally between four hundred and six hundred kilograms.

Even a top-notch martial artist who practices top-notch external skills will have a hard time exceeding 600 kilograms of strength during the meat-refining stage.

Only when the muscles of the whole body are further strengthened in the muscle-liberating stage can the strength of every muscle in the body be stimulated and the strength beyond the limits of the human body be used.

Fang Xiu asked Li Shan before.

Even the lowest among martial artists should have a strength of over 1,500 kilograms.

After Li Shan developed the Thunder Power, Gale Wind Power, and Ice Power, his strength exceeded three thousand kilograms even if the powers were not integrated.

Of course, strength is only the most basic criterion.

In fact, even if five or six warriors who had mastered meat refining joined forces, they could not stop the warrior.

If you adopt the method of roaming, it will not be a problem to fight against ten.

At the stage of Yijin, the warrior will be strengthened in all aspects.

Qi and blood quality changes, speed, burst, endurance, defense...

With his strength, the martial artist can easily pick up a white blade with his bare hands and cut through an iron rod with his bare hands.

After the quality of Qi and blood changes, most poisons have very limited effects on the martial artist, and the poison can be quickly suppressed after being poisoned.

Therefore, martial arts masters can only be dealt with by martial arts masters.

"Physical strength, coupled with the blessing of fate, the true energy increases...

The force when taking action should have exceeded 1,500 kilograms.

but......"

Fang Xiu pondered in his heart.

"Even if he is comparable to a weaker martial artist in terms of strength, there is still a gap in other aspects."

When Fang Xiu was successful in skin grinding, his strength exceeded 500 kilograms, which was comparable to that of a warrior who was successful in refining meat.

However, his own strength is only over two hundred kilograms.

The other two hundred kilograms of strength are blessed by the [Strong Body] destiny.

Fang Xiu has a middle and lower bone. Even if he is full of energy and blood, after breaking through the flesh barrier, his own strength will not exceed 500 kilograms.

Coupled with the destiny of [Strengthening Muscles and Bones], his strength is just over a thousand kilograms.

Finally, counting the Hunyuan Zhenqi with ten years of skill, it can add up to five to six hundred kilograms of power.

"The maximum strength is only 1,600 kilograms... However, actual combat is not a game. Whoever has the higher value will win."

If a blow with a force of 1,600 kilograms hits the body firmly, even a martial artist will break his muscles and bones, and his internal organs will burst and die.

"For warriors below the Yijin realm, there is no difference between me and a martial artist."

Fang Xiu pondered in his heart.

This time he broke through the level, and his strength directly received a qualitative improvement.

"It still takes some time to adapt to the changes in the body..."

Fang Xiu had an idea in his mind.

If he leaves Qingshi City now, I wonder if Jiang Ming will seize the opportunity.

...

After dawn, Fang Xiu went to the county prison to deliver meals as usual.

Then go to the martial arts gym for morning exercises.

At noon, when Fang Xiu went to the cafeteria to eat, he heard the disciples talking quietly.

"Did you hear that?"

"What?"

"Senior Brother Bai actually rejected the invitations from the Wang family and the Chen family."

"How is that possible?"

"I can still lie to you. Senior Brother Bai has agreed to Senior Brother Su and has become a worshiper of Su's Trading Company. I went to Su's Trading Company to buy things yesterday and saw it with my own eyes."

"The Su's Trading Company is also very good...but it's still far behind compared to the Wang family and the Chen family!"

"It's really too much to worry about! Once we can become official warriors, it's time to burn incense. Why do we care so much!"

"That's right, Senior Brother Bai must have his own considerations in making this choice."

"Did you choose the Su family..." Fang Xiu listened intently while eating.

Su's Trading Company is also very powerful and has three martial arts masters serving it.

But compared to aristocratic families like the Wang family and the Chen family, it was still far behind.

Fang Xiu guessed that Bai Xing did not choose the Wang family or the Chen family because he was afraid that the secret of his rapid progress would be discovered.

‘It has nothing to do with me, as long as you don’t provoke me. ’

Fang Xiu finished his meal, wiped his mouth, stood up and left.

After breaking through the physical barrier, there are more ways to make money.

Follow Ye Jiabu to deliver goods to nearby towns, and the reward will be generous.

Fang Xiu didn't dare to go out casually before because he was afraid of Jiang Ming, the fourth leader of the Money Gang.

Although Ye Jin'er is a concubine, she seems to be quite popular with the former head of Ye's Trading Company, so she is not short of money.

But she lacks capable people to serve her.

Two martial arts masters from Ye's Trading Company followed her to Qingshi County.

It is said that these two martial arts masters owed a favor to the previous head of the family and agreed to serve the Ye family for twenty years. The contract will expire in a few years.

At that time, the two may choose to leave.

But even if they stay, the two of them are getting older.

The old martial artist's vitality and blood are weakening, and his deterrence is limited, because he may really be surrounded and beaten to death by several meat-refining realms.

That's why Ye Jin'er spent a lot of money to invite Fang Xiu to become a worshiper, and also cast a wide net just to cultivate close followers.

Many potential martial arts masters care more about their own training and cannot be recruited just by having money.

Some cultivation resources are difficult to buy with money.

Cultivating martial arts masters at home is the first choice of every big force.

Even if you don't cultivate it from an early age, you still have to invest in it when it's weak.

Otherwise it is difficult to guarantee loyalty.

Fang Xiu was treated politely by Ye Jin'er in the dermabrasion realm. If he becomes a martial artist in the future, he will most likely stay.

Even if he no longer serves as the worshiper of the Ye family, it is not good to be Ye Jin'er's enemy.

No one wants to recruit someone who is ungrateful and shows no mercy to his old master.

Even if he is a martial artist.

‘It’s time to give back to the Ye family. ’

Fang Xiu left the martial arts gym, preparing to perform well the next time he delivers goods, so that Ye Jin'er can see how capable he is.

After all, it’s not good to take so many benefits from others in vain.

.....

At night.

County jail.

Fang Xiu was having an appreciation night with Zhao Zhi.

Four head catchers in Feiyu uniforms suddenly entered the gate, followed by Ma Sandao and two government officials, who were escorting a tied-up woman in black.

The four people looked solemn, and each of them had a faint aura that was not easy to mess with.

‘Martial Master! ’

Fang Xiu's pupils suddenly dilated. This vaguely uncomfortable feeling of depression was caused by the strength of the martial artist.

Fang Xiu woke up the dozing Zhao Zhisheng and saluted several people, "I have met a few adults!"

Zhao Zhisheng was so frightened that he quickly saluted.

The four people ignored them and walked straight towards the depths of the prison.

Ma Sandao winked at Fang Xiu and Zhao Zhisheng, signaling them to leave first.

After leaving the prison, Zhao Zhisheng suggested going for a late-night snack, but Fang Xiu declined.

On the way home, Fang Xiu thought of the woman who was tied up.

"The four great martial arts masters were escorted together. Could it be that they are masters of the Immortality Religion..."
