"It's a bit light. It should be able to lift more important things."
Shi Mu muttered a few words to himself, then raised his hand and threw the stone lock to the ground nearby with a bang.
The whole square shook slightly.
Shi Mu then raised his hands and took a closer look.
The two palms are slender and strong, but no matter how you look at them, they never look like flesh and blood bodies capable of exerting a thousand kilograms of force.
After Shi Mu pondered for a moment, he walked to the wooden stand and took off the long knife again.
After a while, sword shadows erupted in the square, like flying sand and rocks, or like dragons emerging from the sea.
With a "swish" sound, the white horseshoe swept out and submerged a nearby wooden pile.
After a few "pop" and "pop" sounds, the wooden pile was instantly chopped into seven pieces and rolled away.
Six cuts in one breath!
The speed of his sword skills was actually no longer comparable to Li Canghai's previous demonstration.
The shadow of the knife disappeared, and Shi Mu stood on the spot holding the long knife upside down, looking at the wooden stake in front of him, his face full of thoughtfulness.
In the evening.
In a large, poorly furnished house, the heavy wooden door was locked from the inside.
Shi Mu was lying on the big bed in the middle of the room with his eyes closed.
At this time, his skin was red, dripping with hot sweat, and he was curled up into a ball. He made intermittent moaning sounds from his mouth from time to time, his limbs were twitching, and he was in a semi-conscious state.
After an unknown amount of time, his sounds of pain gradually stopped, his limbs slowly stretched out, his skin gradually returned to its normal color, and he opened his tired eyes.
Shi Mu took a few deep breaths, walked under the bed and moved his hands and feet. He moved his arms and grabbed the edge of the bed, using his five fingers at the same time.
A crisp "click" sound!
The seemingly solid solid wood bedside shattered into pieces.
"My strength has increased a little, but it is not as amazing as the last few times. It has been a month since the last attack, and it only lasted half a quarter of an hour. It seems that it is unlikely to improve again in the future." Shi Mu murmured.
said.
The shocking change just now happened more than once since he moved into this manor. This is the reason why he showed amazing strength and extraordinary swordsmanship during the day.
The first episode of the mutation occurred in the first month of his stay in the manor, and he was tortured for a whole night.
But after he returned to normal the next day, he found that both his strength and physical reactions were much greater than before.
Then two nights later, the second mutation started again.
In this way, he has experienced this kind of mutation more than ten times in the past few months, and each attack has brought amazing benefits to his body.
However, as the duration of the mutation became shorter and shorter, and the intervals between attacks became longer and longer, the increase in strength and reaction began to gradually weaken.
Now this time, it only increased his strength a little, which was far from comparable to the first few times.
But even so, Shi Mu's strength is now over a thousand kilograms, and his reaction speed is several times that of ordinary people.
No matter how dull Shi Mu is, he can still guess that this change is probably related to the giant clam rescued from the bottom of the sea that day.
After all, the entire mutation process was very similar to the feeling of blood boiling after he woke up at the beach that day, except that the pain increased tenfold.
He had heard a lot about this kind of romance from the biographies of strong men mentioned by storytellers, and he had also been envious of them.
Now that this kind of adventure happened to him, he was naturally overjoyed, and he also gained a lot of confidence in passing the test of Kaiyuan Martial Arts Academy in half a year.
In addition, Shi Mu also truly confirmed from Li Canghai's words that even if you understand the sense of energy and meet the age requirements, you will still have to go through a fierce competition to enter the martial arts academy.
After all, Kaiyuan Martial Arts Academy also has limited resources and can only recruit a limited number of people within the quota. Judging from previous experience, the number of people who sign up for the entire Kaiyuan Prefecture from each state is often several times that.
Shi Mu knew very well that his talent was average, and even if he took the Qi Spirit Pill, his chances of understanding Qi Sense would not be any higher than ordinary people.
According to Li Canghai, once you pass the ninth level of body tempering, the chance of understanding the Qi sense will increase a lot with each level. Once you can cultivate the body tempering to the tenth level, the chance of understanding even ordinary qualifications will be one-third.
One or more. If you reach the Thirteenth Perfect Body Tempering Perfection, the chance of failure will be less than half.
This is also the reason why some warriors with low qualifications, even after they are thirty or forty years old, can still rely on the Great Perfection of Tempering the Body and taking the Qi Ling Pill many times to successfully advance to the posthumous warrior level. However, the time and money spent during this period are not ordinary.
The warriors endured it.
Of course, to realize the sense of energy at such an old age is a complete waste of the golden time for martial arts training. It is easy to imagine how difficult it will be to continue practicing later. Even the middle stage of Tianwu after advancement will become extremely difficult, and the possibility of later stages is almost slim.
Already.
However, some truly powerful and aristocratic children can also increase their chances of understanding Qi Sense by collecting some rare auxiliary elixirs, but the cost is many times higher than purchasing Qi Ling Dan.
Li Canghai had already mastered the body tempering technique to 120%. After he was in his twenties, he barely advanced to the acquired level after taking the Qi Ling Pill for the second time. Every time he talks about this, this mid-level acquired warrior still feels extremely regretful.
For Shi Mu, with his current small net worth, there is no need to think about purchasing auxiliary elixirs. He can only take the path of improving the level of body tempering.
However, once the Body Tempering Technique has passed the ninth level, it will take far longer to practice to a higher level than ordinary people imagine. It is possible to practice the Body Tempering Technique to the twelfth level of Dzogchen before the age of fifteen.
Only truly evil geniuses can do this, and there are only a few people in the entire history of Qi.
With the help of the changes in his body in the past few months, Shi Mu has pushed the body tempering technique directly to the ninth level, even close to the tenth level.
According to normal judgment, it should not be a big problem for him to enter the tenth level of body tempering in more than half a year, but if he wants to enter the eleventh level, it is still a long way to go. And the one-third chance of realizing Qi sense, naturally
Shi Mu still can't really feel relieved.
It seems that if he wants to take a step further in the body tempering technique, he can only use the extreme training method that Li Canghai once mentioned.
According to what Li Canghai said, this body tempering method was obtained by him unintentionally from an expert. Although it is very simple and crude, the body tempering effect is surprisingly amazing. However, the whole process is too dangerous and painful, and there are even many problems during the practice.
The young ones may die young, so they are rarely taught to other apprentices. If Shi Mu was willing to spend a lot of money, he would be happy to teach it.
Danger? Ever since he made the vow to become a strong man in front of his mother's grave, he knew that he would embark on a difficult road full of thorns, so how could he be afraid of any danger!
But what he needs to do now is to master the martial art of gravel fist first, and then he can devote himself to practicing the body tempering technique.
Shi Mu thought indifferently and quickly made a decision in his heart.
…
Seven days later, a three-foot-tall blue water tank stood in the center of the manor square, filled with densely packed soybean grains.
"drink" "drink"
Shi Mu stood in front of the water tank, naked from the waist up, wearing only a pair of baggy black trousers, with a thick silver leather muff on each hand. He clenched his fists with both hands and vigorously flushed the wheat grains in the water tank and beat them.
"Listen carefully, although the power of the gravel punch is directly related to one's own strength, the tenacity of the fist itself is the key to being able to exert the maximum power. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the fist is, it will not be able to hit the stone with one punch.
Flesh and blood will fly everywhere, and you will mutilate your hands. You are just a beginner. Although you have mastered the body tempering technique, your fists are only strong enough to hit some wood. Now I will let you wear multi-layered fish skin gloves to attack these.
Soybeans can slowly stimulate the muscles, bones, flesh and blood in your hands, so that your hands will not suffer too much trauma at the beginning. It can also quickly improve the strength of your hands. When you can punch through the entire water tank with your fists, I will remove the beans.
Change to larger gravel, and remove one layer from the fish skin gloves on your fists. When you can hit the gravel in the water tank to the bottom, I will replace it with real iron sand, and when the iron sand is also
Only after you can penetrate it can you practice with real large rocks... Pay attention, your left hand swings a little too much!" Li Canghai stood beside him with his arms folded, and spoke expressionlessly.
"yes"
Shi Mu promised, waving his arms incessantly, each punch going more than half a foot deep into the water tank. His upper body was dripping with sweat, and every muscle was bulging like a mouse. His whole body was enveloped in a strange kind of fanaticism.
middle.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Shi Mu suddenly shouted loudly, and after punching out suddenly, the blow penetrated more than a foot into the water tank, almost burying half of his arm in the soybeans.
"Stop! Didn't I tell you not to use too much force at first? Let me see if your hand is injured?" Li Canghai saw this, but his face changed drastically, he shouted sternly, and quickly took out a medicine bottle from his arms.
.
"Master Li, it's okay." Shi Mu grinned and pulled his arm out of the soybean.
"Humph, it's me who has the final say if something is wrong. Take off your gloves!" Li Canghai snorted and said without thinking.
Hearing this, Shi Mu could only shake his arm again, then took off the leather sheath on his fist layer by layer, and moved the exposed reddish fingers a few times casually in front of Li Canghai.
"Hey, it seems to be fine. It's strange. According to my many years of teaching experience, it is normal for all five fingers to be bloody when I exert such a strong force. Come over and knock down the wooden stake with your fist. This time, use
Use all your strength!" Li Canghai looked at Shi Mu's palm carefully and showed an unexpected expression. After thinking about it again, he pointed to a thick wooden stake nearby.
"Yes." Shi Mu heard this, took a deep breath, walked to the wooden pile, and slowly started walking around it.
There was a "boom"!
After Shi Mu shook his shoulders, he suddenly punched out, and actually broke the thick wooden stake from the middle. The upper half of the wooden stake even flew out of the square with a "whoosh" sound and hit it hard.
The outer wall of a certain room was hit, causing the whole house to shake slightly.
