"Master Li, it's okay for me to participate in this martial arts competition, but you are really willing to teach me the Shou Knife move afterwards." Shi Mu nodded and asked.
"This move of letting go of the sword is something I have barely understood after practicing Fengchi Sword Technique for more than 20 years. I think it is not inferior to the martial arts treasured by those aristocratic families. I originally planned to use it as a pressing skill, but if you can really do it for Liufeng
The martial arts school has gained huge benefits, so why not pass it on to you?" Li Canghai said with a chuckle.
"Don't worry, Master Li, I will definitely try my best during the competition." Shi Mu replied with a smile.
"You practice the body tempering technique at an astonishing speed, and the iron refining method seems to be particularly suitable for you, but this martial arts competition should not be underestimated. Although this competition is only limited to martial arts disciples under the age of eighteen, the other three martial arts schools
The disciples are not weak either, at least I know a few who are at the tenth level of Body Tempering. However, if you can cultivate to the eleventh level before the competition, there should be no big problem in this competition." Li Canghai said seriously.
"If that's the case, then I'll hurry up and practice." Shi Mu replied without thinking.
"You don't need to tell me, I will let you advance successfully in a short time as soon as possible." Li Canghai said with a flash of light in his eyes, and then led Shi Mu towards a big house behind the courtyard. After entering the gate,
, and inserted the door bolt smoothly.
After Shi Mu entered, he immediately took off his coat and took off a belt-like heavy sandbag from his waist with a bang, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
He would never leave this sandbag except for sleeping and bathing. The last time he encountered the zombie in the temple, it was because the incident happened suddenly and there was no time to untie the sandbag. Otherwise, his speed and reaction speed could be improved to a higher level.
"The iron sand inside seems a bit too light for you. It will be heavier by another twenty kilograms from tomorrow." Li Canghai saw this, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he picked up a short and thick iron sand from a nearby wooden frame.
A yellow wooden stick with a thick leather pad wrapped on both ends.
After Shi Mu agreed, he suddenly stepped on the ground with both feet and took a steady step on the spot. After taking a deep breath, he clenched his hands into fists and held his breath.
After Li Canghai came over, he moved his arm, and the wooden stick turned into heavy stick shadows and struck various acupuncture points on Shi Mu's upper body...
After a while of burning incense, Shi Mu put on his clothes again and walked out of the big house. His nimble steps were obviously a little staggered, and he left the yard with a grin on his face.
Li Canghai in the big room was covered in sweat and had a wry smile on his face.
"This little guy's physique is too evil. It almost made me, a mid-term acquired martial artist, fall down from exhaustion. But that's right. If he didn't have such a powerful body, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to complete the iron refining in just half a year.
As for the method, this martial arts competition is really worth looking forward to. But then again, even if this little guy has practiced the method of iron refining, it is still a bit incredible to advance to two levels of body tempering in half a year. Could he really be a bloodline warrior?
It won’t work.”
Li Canghai unconsciously fell into deep thought.
Naturally, he didn't know that Shi Mu, apart from practicing the iron refining method in the martial arts hall every few days, did not take a good rest as instructed by Shi Mu after he returned.
Hou Wujia went to the countryside to hone his martial arts skills and hunt various wild beasts. Only then was he able to practice the body tempering technique to such an astonishing level in such a short period of time.
Shi Mu left the martial arts hall and walked only one street before arriving at a small house consisting of three rooms. He opened the door and went in without a big deal.
This rather remote residence is his temporary residence in the city.
After a while, a certain room began to be filled with a strong smell of herbs, and billowing hot air emanated from the window.
“So comfortable!”
Shi Mu was lying naked in a large wooden basin, which was filled with boiling hot water, and there were some medicinal herbs floating on the water.
His upper body exposed to the water was covered with bruises and marks, but his face was full of comfort, and he soon fell asleep in the basin with a slight snoring.
After an unknown amount of time, when Shi Mu slowly opened his eyes and woke up, the potion in the basin had become cold, and the sky outside the window had also darkened significantly.
Shi Mu stood up and looked at his body. The shocking bruises and swelling marks on his skin had become insignificant.
This Liufeng Martial Arts School's special medicinal bath is really good, and it is a perfect match with his extraordinary recovery ability. Otherwise, he would not be able to persist even with the inhuman training he has endured in the past six months.
After all, not everyone can be beaten with sticks every few days, and run down the mountain with a black iron sandbag on their back at night, and still remain unharmed.
After half a year of hard training, Shi Mu's size has grown significantly. Now, except for the childish look on his face, he is almost the same as an adult in terms of conversation and figure.
He wiped off the water stains on his body with a towel next to the tub, put on the clothes and sandbags on the ground again, and left the house.
Half an hour later, Shi Mu came to a certain street in the north of the city. He ducked behind him and entered an inconspicuous hut. Inside, there were two men sitting at a square table waiting for him. It was Feng Li.
, Gao Yuan and two others.
"Brother Shi, you are finally here." When Feng Li saw Shi Mu, he immediately left his chair and said happily.
Gao Yuan also stood up to greet him very happily.
"Since Brother Feng gave me a wink, it seems that he must have business to take care of me again." Shi Mu smiled slightly.
"Brother Shi guessed it right. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to take action this time. This time the opponent is the Luanshui Gang near Huangtian. Our Black Fox Club has made an appointment with them to compete here tonight at midnight.
Determine the ownership of five streets near the Tianwang Temple in the north of the city. But I got news that the Luanshui Gang has also invited several good hands to help this time. Brother Shi should also be careful when the time comes." Feng Li said carefully.
"A good player? There won't be any warriors the day after tomorrow, right?" Shi Mu's eyes flashed and he asked.
"Don't worry, small gangs in Fengcheng like our Black Fox Club and Stone Gang, how can they hire Houtian warriors? At most, they are martial arts masters from other martial arts schools. From time to time, because Brother Shi has helped us several times, let us
The power has increased a lot, and the Luanshui Gang will not be so anxious this time." Gao Yuan said with a curl of his lips.
"That's true. Although there is no explicit restriction, it is impossible for a small gang conflict at our level to catch the eyes of Houtian warriors. Besides, even if the Luanshui Gang really knows any Houtian warriors, they simply cannot afford to take action. One
The actions of the acquired warrior are enough to bankrupt them." Feng Li also said with a smile.
"As long as there are no Houtian warriors, it's the same old rules, three hundred taels of silver, and I can't let outsiders know my identity." Shi Mu felt relieved and replied in a familiar manner.
"Okay, it's settled. Your things have been prepared. We can set off in a while." Feng Li agreed, took out a small package from his body, and handed it over directly.
Shi Mu opened the package on the table in front of him, revealing a pair of black gloves, a black robe and a silver mask, and he put them all on very skillfully.
Suddenly, a mysterious figure in black clothes and a silver face appeared in the room.
"Every time I see Brother Shi dressed like this, it makes me feel that the second brother has not died at all." Gao Yuan couldn't help but have a complex look on his face after seeing Shi Mu dressed up like this.
"Ahem, this is all thanks to Brother Shi's help. Since the second brother passed away unexpectedly, if Brother Shi hadn't taken over his role as the 'fierce fist' and repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on powerful enemies, the Black Fox would have greatly increased its power in the past six months.
It turns out that the territory cannot be saved. Except for our two brothers, no one else knew that the top master of the Black Fox Club had already been replaced." Feng Li also sighed.
"I'm just getting paid for sex. With your reward, I can always insist on taking medicinal baths. Compared with several other gangs nearby, your Black Fox Club can be considered a somewhat conscientious one. If you really let other gangs
If we destroy you, the ordinary people nearby will also be in great misfortune." A deep voice came from the mask, which was completely different from Shi Mu's original voice.
"Yes, originally it was a matter of cooperation that would benefit both parties. It's almost time, let's go." Feng Li said with a smile, stroking his hands.
Shi Mu naturally had no other opinions.
So the three of them left the house and quickly disappeared at the end of the dim street.
…
On an extremely remote and dilapidated street in Fengcheng, two groups of well-dressed men were violently beating each other.
On one side were men in black, about forty people. Feng Li, Shi Mu and three others were standing behind with their arms folded, watching the battle. On the other side were more people, all wearing blue clothes. They were members of the famous Luanshui Gang nearby.
, there were five people standing there motionless behind.
After a short while, the Black Fox Gang, who had a small number of people, was obviously at a disadvantage. Many people were beaten with bloody heads by the opponent and had to withdraw from the fight.
"Brother Shi, let's take action." Seeing this, Feng Li said with a serious expression.
Shi Mu nodded, shook his arms, and jumped out without saying a word.
There were two muffled sounds of "bang" and "bang", and the two men in blue shirts fell to the ground.
"Fight"
As soon as the silver-faced man transformed by Shi Mu appeared in the crowd, he immediately elicited several screams of fear, but at the same time, there were also two other tall men in blue shirts who swept away Shi Mu's back while wielding their sticks.
"Click" twice.
Shi Mu suddenly turned around, punched out with two fists, and actually broke the two sticks in the middle. Before the two people could retreat in shock, he swayed again and suddenly approached one of them.
Nearby, the shadow of a fist moved.
With a "boom", the man flew two feet away like a sack and fell heavily to the ground.
Shi Mu stepped on the ground again and fired at the other person like a crossbow. He raised his leg and kicked the other man in blue straight away like a strong wind.
