Chapter 32 Shoot Me
"After putting on the mask, who will recognize me?"
She is only slightly taller than her younger sister, Xiaoyue.
That's the height of a five- or six-year-old child.
Moreover, there was no discomfort whatsoever, as if I had been born this way.
A thought flashed through Li Xin's mind: "If I were to visualize Nezha again in this form, what would happen?"
He found out very quickly.
As the heat surges throughout the body, [Constitution] and [Agility] change.
Temporary constitution becomes 19.5, temporary agility becomes 40.
The body, which had shrunk and contracted its muscles, suddenly collapsed and returned to its original size.
Sure enough, there's no way to find loopholes.
This wasn't an ability I originally possessed; I had to rely on role-playing to digest the secret technique before it could become my own skill.
"However, it's enough."
With the blessing of [Lightness], and 40 points of [Agility], he has the ability to excel.
Li Xin felt like a wisp of smoke, whistling through the room...
It went up and down the table, walked along the wall, stood upside down on the roof, and took three or four steps.
He flipped over and spun down.
Extremely fast and sensitive.
"When I saw my master demonstrate martial arts that day, it didn't seem to be this fast."
He is a renowned expert in Bagua (the Eight Trigrams), a master-level master, and his speed is even slower than mine now.
It can be roughly determined that even a Grandmaster of Internal Energy who has reached the state of perfect harmony between hardness and softness would only have an agility of around thirty points.
"Of course, it's possible that he could be even faster when he unleashes his full power."
But it'll be at most forty-something points, no more than that.
"So, after activating the [Third Prince's Divine Intent], my temporary [Agility] has basically caught up with that of top masters."
Moreover, he is a master of boxing with exceptional agility…”
Thinking about this, Li Xin felt almost like it wasn't real.
"Alright, this isn't your own ability, it's just self-hypnosis, a temporary burst of energy, a ten-minute hero."
A truly intense exchange might not even last ten minutes, at most seven or eight.
After giving himself a wake-up call and pouring cold water on his own ambitions, Li Xin finally suppressed his arrogance.
The road ahead is long, and the enemy is still powerful. We must proceed with caution, training and observation.
……
I woke up early in the morning.
Li Xin did not leave the courtyard.
He simply opened the window and practiced the Sixty-Four Steps and the Swimming Body Palm Technique in the spacious master bedroom.
After mastering the essence of this martial art...
Each practice session brings new insights.
As the Qi and blood circulate, a powerful force slowly generates, permeating the entire body, limbs, and bones.
You can feel your bones getting stronger little by little, and your fascia stretching and contracting again and again.
"Forging bones and tendons" means gradually changing the body through long-term practice. Of course, this process may take a long time.
No wonder there's a saying: "Practice hard in the sweltering heat of summer and the freezing cold of winter; keep your fists in your hands and your songs on your lips."
"Practice diligently every day, and your physique will improve; but if you stop, your skills will regress."
"If it is an external training method, it also needs to be combined with external strikes and combat training."
Allow the body to recover from repeated damage, breaking down and rebuilding.
But I don't need to...
By activating the [Erlang Zhenjun Divine Intent] and practicing martial arts in a state of perfect physical flexibility, one can rebuild tendons, bones, and flesh, undergoing countless cycles of [destruction and reconstruction].
I spent an hour practicing the normal boxing techniques, and then ten minutes practicing the ultimate visualization boxing techniques.
Li Xin's entire body was burning hot, and he exhaled a breath of gas mixed with blood and foam.
I felt a sense of exhilaration throughout my body; my mind was cleansed and I felt refreshed inside and out.
Apart from my stomach rumbling, I felt perfectly fine.
"We should prepare more meat in the mornings from now on. We can't skimp on it. My older brother, younger sister, and Hongxiu also need to nourish their bodies."
"As for nourishing and strengthening blood medicine, you can ask Senior Sister Feiyan for help."
She has access to the purchasing channels...
Although the medicine is expensive, it's indispensable if you want to quickly improve your physique and cultivate powerful strength.
"Such extravagant spending will make my older brother grumble again."
Li Xin washed his face and brushed his teeth, thinking about his older brother's reaction, when he heard a snoring sound.
"Second brother, are you up yet?"
Upon opening the door, one could see Li Cheng wearing a white top hat and a chef's uniform.
He rubbed his hands together, his face slightly flushed, and peered over.
"Get up, I was just practicing my boxing. Brother, you don't need to open your stall so early."
Now that you've developed your strength, it's time for rapid progress; spend more time practicing.
Given Li Cheng's personality and intelligence, the Chuojiao Kung Fu he had practiced since childhood was actually more suitable for him.
Previously, there was no famous teacher to guide me, but now, I have my own teachers pointing out my mistakes and correcting them one by one.
His progress is actually quite good.
But the problem is, perhaps we've gotten used to the hardships of the past.
Now that he had a way to make money, he could set up a stall and earn two or three taels of silver a day. He was so greedy for money that he became obsessed with it.
The passion for making soup and kneading dough is even greater than the passion for training legs.
"Don't worry, second brother, I've practiced this leg technique for eight years. It's ingrained in my bones. I won't miss my daily practice."
The news has spread far and wide that Nezha, the Third Prince, appeared again last night.
Moreover, this time it was a big deal; not only did they target the Qing-branded Yuanfeng Restaurant, but they also decimated the Yin Gou Gambling House.
Li Cheng spoke in a low voice while secretly observing Li Xin's expression.
His thick eyebrows bounced around as if they were about to take flight.
"Is that so? That's great. The Qing family has been doing awful things, and finally a great hero has taken it out on them." Li Xin exclaimed in surprise.
"Not you?"
Li Cheng scratched his head, his eyes blank.
"no."
Li Xin shook his head.
"You're kidding me!"
Seeing the faint smile on Li Xin's lips, Li Cheng suddenly realized and grinned foolishly: "Everyone says I'm not well-educated, but don't try to fool me."
"Second brother is the best."
Xiaoyue came running over.
With her short legs moving swiftly, she held a bowl of meat soup in her left hand, the mutton offal almost reaching the rim of the bowl; in her right hand, she carried a small bamboo basket piled high with steaming hot steamed buns.
Behind her followed Zhuang Hongxiu.
The young woman had a gentle smile on her lips, holding a bowl of meat porridge and four fried dough sticks in her hands.
"Knowing you were hungry, Xiaoyue insisted on bringing you food," Zhuang Hongxiu said with a smile.
"Oh, Xiaoyue is the most considerate. Here, give me a kiss."
Li Xin pursed his lips and pressed them against Xiaoyue's face, making the little girl giggle.
"Second brother, I ate four steamed buns and two bowls of soup this morning. I'm so full, I've never eaten this much before..."
Xiaoyue is happy to share her daily life; these days, she feels like she's dreaming.
"From now on, we'll have food anytime, and we won't have to eat until we're stuffed in one meal."
Li Xin's gaze softened as he touched the little girl's dry hair, which had regained some color. "We don't have to live a hard life anymore."
The group then moved to the stone table in the courtyard and ate some breakfast together.
Li Xin was the one eating.
He's getting hungry very quickly.
My stomach feels like a bottomless pit; everything I eat is digested as soon as it's in.
I still can't stop taking the supplements every day...
While this kind of training leads to extremely rapid progress in cultivation, it also consumes a great deal of energy.
He stuffed the last steamed bun into his mouth, took two bites and swallowed it, then drank the meat porridge in one gulp.
After wiping his mouth clean, Li Xin asked:
"Have those two arrived yet?"
Zhuang Hongxiu nodded: "They've been here for a while. I'll arrange for them to eat something at the shop first."
However, the boy named Wang Xiaohu has a broken right leg and some old injuries; he probably won't be able to get treatment without it.
"Let them bathe and change their clothes. Go to Huichuntang and ask Doctor Yang to come and take a look."
"Yes, young master."
Zhuang Hongxiu quickly agreed.
Li Xin nodded, then said, "Here I am..."
He looked up halfway through his sentence and saw a person entering through the door, dressed in martial arts training attire.
The newcomer was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round head, chubby face, and a robust build.
He was the same guy who was tripped up by Li Xin at the Fire God Temple martial arts arena that day, and whose nose bled from the fall.
However, this junior brother Zhili has a good personality and doesn't hold grudges.
After he became Master Cheng's apprentice, he followed behind him, addressing him as "senior brother" repeatedly, and was very friendly.
That's when they come to run errands.
It must be because news of what happened last night has spread.
Even the eldest brother, who was guarding the shop, had heard about the destruction of the two strongholds of the Qing brand. After all, the master was a prominent figure in Nancheng and was very well-informed; there was no way he wouldn't know.
"Junior Brother Zeng, what did Master say?"
"It's Senior Sister Feiyan who said that if you have some free time, you should go there as soon as possible."
"Alright, brother, take Junior Brother Zeng to the shop for something to eat. I'm going to see Master. If he's not back by noon, don't wait for him."
Li Xin glanced at Zhuang Hongxiu, nodded slightly, indicating that everything was alright.
He hugged Xiaoyue.
Then I went out the door.
……
They hurriedly arrived at the Cheng family's house.
As soon as I entered, I saw my master standing at the end of the courtyard with his back to me.
His figure appeared somewhat forlorn.
The long robe billowed gently in the wind.
Beside him, Senior Sister Cheng Feiyan looked at him with a half-smile, without giving him any signal.
It was definitely intentional.
"Master, Senior Sister."
Li Xin quickly greeted him.
"I heard you're a good shot. Take aim and fire at my back."
Cheng Yuanhua's voice was gentle and clear, revealing no emotion.
……
