"I just started practicing Stone Crushing Fist, and this is the first time I've seen someone who can do this to such an extent. Could it be that you...you have inspired some kind of bloodline!" Li Canghai was shocked when he saw this, with an expression of disbelief.
"Bloodline?" Shi Mu was stunned after hearing this.
"Haha, I must be overthinking it. Bloodline people are so rare. You should be born with rough skin and thick flesh. But in this way, you are an excellent embryo for practicing martial arts. I will teach you this gravel fist.
You did the right thing." Li Canghai immediately smiled hoarsely, shook his head, and said.
"Master Li, what is a bloodline person?" Shi Mu became a little curious.
"How should I put it? Bloodline warriors are also called bloodline warriors among us warriors. They are warriors who have stimulated a certain bloodline in their bodies and thus have one or more special talents that ordinary people do not have. However, warriors who can activate their talented bloodlines are very rare.
It is almost one in a million, and it should be impossible for you to reach this level. Well, if you really want to know about bloodline warriors in the future, someone will explain it specifically after you enter Kaiyuan Martial Arts Academy. All you need to know is that bloodline
Almost all warriors are monster-like existences, and each one can crush existences of the same level. If you encounter them in the future, you must stay away from them. However, blood people are also very hated by others. It's okay if they come from a powerful force, otherwise I don't know how many
People with bloodlines who have no background have been plotted and killed before they have grown up. By the way, this time Kaiyuan Martial Arts Academy is recruiting disciples, and there are many famous geniuses who have signed up, and it is very likely that there will be bloodlines." Li Canghai obviously said.
Not intending to explain it in detail, he waved his hand and replied calmly.
Shi Mu could only nod his head and ask no more questions, but he couldn't help but associate the bloodline warrior incident with his more than ten physical changes, and he firmly remembered it in his mind.
"However, your talent in practicing Stone Fist is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people. Well, I'll directly improve the progress of your practice, otherwise it will be useless for you now." Li Canghai said again.
After sizing up Shi Mu, he said with a smile.
Shi Mu naturally had no objection to this.
Next time, Li Canghai asked someone to replace Shi Mu with seemingly sharp gravels in the water tank. At the same time, he wore less leather sheaths on his hands and started beating again.
This time, after Shi Mu punched him, he felt his hands begin to ache after a while. After another meal, he felt that the entire surface of his fist began to tingle, as if there were countless fine needles hidden in the gravel.
Average.
When Shi Mu saw that Li Canghai next to him had no intention of stopping, he immediately gritted his teeth and continued to pound the gravel in the water tank without slowing down at all.
"Remember, because the gravel fist training method is too overbearing and can easily injure your muscles and bones, even if you have good talent and my unique ointment treatment, after practicing once, you will not be able to practice again within three or four days. So.
During this period of time, you can continue to practice the body tempering technique, and only after your hands have fully recovered can you continue to practice the gravel fist. If you can persist like this, it is very likely that you can use this gravel fist within half a year.
You have reached the level of minor accomplishment." Li Canghai said with guidance.
"yes"
Shi Mu agreed fiercely, and then punched the gravel hard, causing the entire water tank to shake slightly.
…
at dusk.
When Shi Mu was sitting on a wooden chair in the house, his arms were resting on the square table in front of him. The holsters on his hands had been removed, but his ten fingers were as red and swollen as carrots. They were more than twice as thick as normal, and even
The skin above looks almost transparent and extremely thin.
Shi Mu looked at the strange shape of his hands with a wry smile on his face.
According to Li Canghai, only when his hands look like this does it mean that the practice during the day is effective. But now that his hands are swollen like this, it may be very difficult to even apply medicine.
When he grinned and took out the bottle of ointment given by Li Canghai from his arms, opened the bottle cap, and applied it on his palms with his red and swollen fingers, he was already sweating profusely in pain.
the next morning.
When Shi Mu got up, he subconsciously raised his hands and took a look, and his whole body suddenly froze.
His hands, which were originally highly swollen, were back to normal. If it weren't for the presence of some light red bruises on the back of his hands, it would almost make him think he was still dreaming.
"How can this be!"
Shi Mu lost his voice, flicked his wrist, and quickly moved his ten fingers.
Everything was as usual, without the slightest feeling of pain or obscurity, as if yesterday's practice did not exist at all.
Shi Mu still couldn't believe it. After staring at his hands and blinking, he suddenly grabbed the head of the bed with his backhand and pressed hard with his five fingers.
"Crack" is a crisp sound throughout life.
A large piece of wood was instantly crushed into pieces by the huge force of the hand.
"Sure enough, it's okay! Could it be that I have really inspired some kind of gifted bloodline? If so, I'm afraid it has something to do with the giant clam he rescued. Could it be that the blood mist it sprayed made him a bloodline user? However,
Listening to what Li Canghai said yesterday, it is not necessarily a good thing for people to know that he is a bloodline person now. However, since his recovery power is amazing, wouldn't he be able to practice gravel fist every day to speed up his practice?
But it has increased several times in one go.”
When Shi Mu saw this, he was surprised and happy at first, and then he began to ponder with a gloomy expression on his face.
At noon.
Shi Mu's hands were wrapped tightly with white cloth, and his waist and legs were tied with heavy sandbags. He was running around the square. After a while, he was covered in sweat.
Li Canghai, who was standing next to him, looked at this scene with a satisfied expression on his face.
afternoon.
In a tightly closed room in the manor, a muffled sound of "bang" and "bang" could be heard vaguely.
In the middle of the empty big room, the white cloth strips on Shi Mu's hands had long since disappeared. He put on thin fishskin gloves again and was pounding the gravel in the water tank in front of him.
Shi Mu closed his mouth tightly, ignoring the painful feeling from his fist, and just waved his fist desperately into the water tank.
late at night.
The young man was lying on the bed, fast asleep, with a look of exhaustion on his face, but his arms were spread wide open on the edge of the bed. His two fists suddenly became red and swollen again, and were covered with a thick layer of white ointment.
Suddenly, one of Shi Mu's fingers twitched unintentionally, and a look of pain suddenly appeared on his face, but he was still in a deep sleep.
…
"What, you want to learn the art of iron forging from me?" Li Canghai opened his eyes wide and asked the young man in front of him in surprise.
"Yes, I remember Master Li once said that you have a special body-tempering method, and the speed of practice is several times faster than the ordinary body-tempering method. If I practice this method, I will most likely be recruited in the martial arts academy.
I have cultivated to the eleventh level of body tempering before, so if I take the Qi Spirit Pill, I will be more confident in understanding the sense of Qi." Shi Mu's hands were still wrapped in thick strips of cloth, but he replied very calmly.
"I have said this before. But do you know that although this iron refining method is astonishingly effective, it requires a lot of resources, and the practice process is very dangerous, and may even lead to death." Li Canghai said solemnly.
"As long as I can advance to the eleventh level of Body Tempering in more than half a year, no matter how dangerous it is or how much money I spend, I don't care. Master Li, just teach me." Shi Mu replied decisively.
"I have already told you the importance of it. If you insist on learning, I have no reason not to teach you. However, in the early stage of practicing this method, you must rely on the help of others, so in the future, you must come to the martial arts gym.
Is that okay?"
"No problem. In order to avoid the trouble of traveling back and forth, I might as well stay in the city temporarily and wait until the training is over before returning here." After hearing this, Shi Mu immediately had other ideas.
"It would be best if you could live near the martial arts hall. You can bring a thousand taels of silver to the martial arts hall tomorrow, and I will go back and prepare some things. I can officially teach you the method of iron refining tomorrow. Hehe, these
The money is not for nothing. As the name suggests, this body tempering method is a method of continuously forging and tempering the body like a stone to forcibly improve the physical body. During this period, you not only have to endure pain that is unbearable for ordinary people, but also
Take medicinal baths every day according to the prescription without interruption, otherwise your flesh and blood body will never be able to sustain it. If you can really persist, I will have nothing more to teach you in the martial arts apprentice stage." After Li Canghai heheed,
He nodded noncommittally.
Shi Mu promised repeatedly.
In the following time, Li Canghai gave Shi Mu some pointers on how to use the gravel fist, then said goodbye and left.
Shi Mu then called Zhang Suo, the steward of the manor, and told him to go to the city immediately to find a cleaner house to rent. He would live in Fengcheng for a while.
Zhang Suo naturally did not dare to disobey and agreed, took some money and hurried out.
