"He has strong Qi and blood, and a solid foundation... He is a good candidate for martial arts training."
Zhou Chong told the truth, if he was placed in a weapon forging shop, he would probably be trained as a core disciple.
"This man was just a gambler a few months ago, but he has completely transformed himself in just a few months. He is truly extraordinary. We must make friends with him."
If you are trying to win over someone, what does a worthless medicinal herb matter?
…
Several heavy boxes were filled with various precious medicinal materials.
Xia He carefully moved it to the spacious yard of his home.
After some sorting, there was finally enough medicinal materials needed to make the blood-replenishing soup.
"No wonder ordinary people's martial arts training progresses slowly. With my monthly salary of more than ten taels, it would probably take several years to collect all these herbs."
Xia He sighed inwardly.
Learning martial arts is difficult, because it requires talent, resources, and money.
In the following days, Xia He began to practice martial arts as usual.
He would practice the sword skills he learned from the Blood Refining Chapter every day on the training ground of the garrison.
After a day of training, he asked Wang Erpang to hit his chest and abdomen every day, and then he would find iron sand and a large vat and jump into it every day to rub the muscles all over his body.
Wang Erpang was horrified by what he saw. This training method was simply horrifying and looked extremely painful.
Every time Xia He crawled out of the iron sand pile, his upper body would turn red, just like a red-skinned duck just out of the pot.
Most people can't stand such high-intensity martial arts training.
But Xia He can see his proficiency improving every day, so it’s not that boring.
With spring approaching, he must seize the time to improve his strength.
With the help of the White Ape Breathing Method and high-intensity training, ten days passed quickly and I finally mastered the Spirit Snake Fist!
Superior martial arts are indeed extraordinary.
"According to what the martial arts school disciple said before, it would take an average disciple of the Spirit Snake Martial Arts School at most a year to enter the sect, and at least half a year. Ten days is considered fast..."
Xia He looked at the panel, thoughtfully.
The Spirit Snake Fist is divided into three levels. The first level corresponds to the Skin Refining Realm and is called the Spirit Snake.
"At this rate, it may be difficult to make further progress before the spring."
He had one attribute point left, which he used here.
As the attribute points disappeared, his physique soon underwent another qualitative change!
[Skills: Blood Refining. Superior. Spirit Snake Fist (Spirit Python)]
[Progress: 0/1000]
[Effect: Like a swimming python, indestructible]
The first level of the Spirit Snake Fist is called "Spirit Snake Covered with Scales".
When a warrior successfully breaks through to this level, a layer of solid defense like scales will condense on the surface of the body.
This defense is not limited to the surface of the skin, but penetrates deep into the texture and becomes one with the body, making the already tough skin more resistant to external shocks, thereby further strengthening and improving the skin refining stage.
After reaching the second level - "Spirit Python Transformed into Blood", the changes brought about by the technique are even more amazing.
At this time, the power of the spirit python gradually penetrated into the qi and blood, and began to slowly change the flesh and blood structure of the practitioner.
Gradually, his body became as agile as a swimming python; every movement was smooth and natural, without any sense of sluggishness.
At the same time, the Qi and blood in the body become more vigorous and surging, as if burning a raging fire, continuously providing powerful power support to the body.
It is not difficult to imagine what amazing effects will be produced if this boxing technique can be practiced to the ultimate peak level - "Spirit Dragon Changing Shape".
It is said that after reaching this state, practitioners can not only completely change their own physical characteristics, but can even possess powerful alien abilities similar to the legendary "blood of tigers and wolves".
At this moment, Xia He was immersed in the wonderful feeling brought by the Spirit Snake Fist. He felt numb all over his body, but at the same time, there was a surging force filling his limbs and bones, which seemed to never be exhausted.
Combined with the White Ape Breathing Method, it seemed as if he had transformed into the arms of an extremely powerful white ape; his waist was as soft and flexible as a water snake, and he could avoid the enemy's attack with a slight turn.
"White ape arms, water snake waist?"
Xia He finally understood that he had to combine advanced martial arts and breathing techniques to strengthen his bones.
"When you reach the second level, your body will be able to withstand the damage caused by the lightning bead entering your body."
Xia He didn't dare to use the treasure he got from the thunder marten's stomach before, but now he is not afraid anymore.
"In a few days, I will be able to refine my bones!"
"After refining my bones, I won't be afraid of the wolf guards again."
Xia He wiped the sweat off his face, sat aside and picked up a booklet.
The above records the light skill "Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada" that Yang Qing'er had memorized before.
He always put Qinggong at the end.
But now that I have some free time, I can take some time to practice.
In a room not far from him, in a dark corner, a pair of eyes were staring at him without blinking.
Yang Qing'er in the shadow had an extremely complicated expression and mixed feelings.
Ever since she accidentally exposed her true identity that day, Yang Qing'er has fallen into deep fear and anxiety.
Every day is a torment for her, as if the days are long.
Xia He would return here on time every day to bring the antidote to Yang Qing'er.
During this period of time, Yang Qing'er had secretly contacted her sister several times, but because she was worried about her own life, she could only be vague and perfunctory every time.
After coming back, I will tell Xia He the details of the conversation.
As spring was approaching, Her Highness couldn't wait to send troops to fight, but she was unable to extract any useful information from Xia He.
Her sister was also disappointed, but she never doubted her.
As time passed, the situation became more and more urgent, and Yang Qing'er's pressure increased day by day.
In recent days, her sister has not shown up, which makes Yang Qing'er feel more helpless and lonely.
On the one hand, she really didn't want to betray her sister and His Highness;
On the one hand, she just wanted to live. After all, she was in her prime and had yet to experience or try so many wonderful things. How could she be willing to die like this?
The man in the yard is simply a martial arts fanatic. Every day when he comes home, he does nothing but practice martial arts and eat.
He even spoke very little to her, and his expression was full of indifference.
At this time, Xia He was shirtless, and his bronze skin shone with a healthy luster under the moonlight.
Every muscle in his body was clearly defined, and beads of glistening sweat slid down his broad shoulders, flowed across his strong chest, and then flowed down along the grooves of his abdominal muscles.
Such masculine beauty made Yang Qing'er, who was hiding and watching, so fascinated that her body couldn't help but feel an unknown heat.
Yang Qing'er swallowed subconsciously, but her eyes could not move away from the masculine figure in front of her.
All kinds of beautiful images began to emerge in her mind uncontrollably, and her legs unconsciously clamped together.
Just as she was immersed in her own fantasy, suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence - the door was pushed open roughly without any warning!
