Gale Phantom Kick

編輯: Henyee Translations

In the following days, he swam and struggled in the sea of knowledge during the day, and worked hard on martial arts at night.

If martial arts were replaced with something familiar, it would be as if he had returned to his university days.

Every night, he spent more than an hour cultivating the Ferocious Tiger Fist six times.

He took a high-grade Essence Energy Pill and rested for more than an hour.

He spent another twenty minutes practicing the Green Snake Fist ten times.

Then, he took a Blood Strengthening Pill and went to bed.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

Winter passed and spring came. Everything was revived.

Zhou You was 15 years old.

At night.

In a room inside the apothecary.

Looking at the proficiency of the Green Snake Fist, Zhou You took a deep breath and continued practicing.

Green Snake Fist (Perfection) (499/500)

Unlike the Ferocious Tiger Fist, the Martial Arts Points did not increase after his Green Snake Fist had reached Greater Mastery.

That was because there was still Perfection to come.

Zhou You did not give up and continued cultivating.

Today, it was finally the final moment.

Whether cultivating basic martial arts could increase one's Martial Arts Points depended on this.

Swoosh!

Zhou You's feet slid, and his body twisted into a strange posture. His fists and palms changed, and his five fingers opened and closed indeterminately, like a green snake flicking its tongue.

Two minutes later, Zhou You stopped. He felt a vibration coming from his ten fingers, along his wrist and arm.

The trembling was very light. When it reached his shoulder, he could no longer feel it.

The trembling lasted for a very short time. In less than a breath, it had calmed down. He felt as if he had just been pricked by a needle.

Zhou You knew that this was the internal force born from cultivating the Green Snake Fist to Perfection.

Green Snake Force.

It was different from the Ferocious Tiger Force cultivated from the Ferocious Tiger Fist.

It was very weak.

The strengthening effect on a martial artist's body was negligible. It only increased the flexibility of his fingers and wrists and the flexibility of his arms. He could do some previously unimaginable actions.

He opened the door and walked out of the courtyard. He stood in front of a big tree.

Zhou You raised his right hand, straightened his shoulders, and retracted his elbow. He moved his forearm forward, closed the fingertips of his five fingers, and pecked forward.

Thud!

There was a soft thud.

A shallow dent appeared on the bark, and one could vaguely feel the hard trunk.

He retracted his right hand and moved it away slightly. His five fingers closed into a fist and pressed against the tree. Zhou You exerted all his strength and pressed forward before retracting his hand.

A shallow dent also appeared.

From the looks of it, it was almost identical to the previous one.

This discovery stopped Zhou You from thinking about it.

The power of the Green Snake Force was similar to ordinary attacks.

There was almost no increase in strength.

However, Zhou You did not look depressed at all. He opened the interface and looked at the new Martial Arts Point appearing on it. Without hesitation, he clicked on Affinity.

Swoosh!

Affinity +1.

Name: Zhou You

Affinity: 3

Aptitude: Ferocious Tiger Fist (22%) and Green Snake Fist (60%).

Comprehension: 100%

Martial Arts: Ferocious Tiger Fist (Level 1) (150/500) and Green Snake Fist (Perfection).

Martial Arts Points: 0

Other than his Affinity becoming 3, there was another change. The compatibility with the Green Snake Fist had increased by 5%.

But… what was the use?

Clenching his fists, Zhou You looked excited. After resting for a while, he began to cultivate the Ferocious Tiger Fist.

Today, knowing that the Green Snake Fist was about to break through, he specially adjusted the cultivation sequence.

After practicing Ferocious Tiger Fist six times, he saw that his proficiency had increased by 4 points.

Zhou You knew that after his Affinity increased, the proficiency he obtained every time he cultivated had increased greatly.

Although it was not as much as the previous time, it was still a 50% increase.

With close to 4 proficiency points every day, he would be able to enter the second level of the Ferocious Tiger Fist in less than nine months.

Increasing one level in 11 months was considered a genius even in the inner courtyard.

A low profile.

He had to keep a low profile!

Zhou You felt very good about himself now.

His results in theoretical studies were outstanding, and Zhou You had already obtained Cheng Yiqing's approval. He had begun to learn many things.

The distribution of the Blood Strengthening Pills was also handed over to Zhou You.

In terms of the distribution of medicine, Zhou You did not show favoritism. Instead, he adhered to the principle of fairness and openness and further obtained Cheng Yiqing's approval.

In private, although Zhao Liuping and the others were a little unhappy, they still tacitly kept their previous agreement.

Since he could obtain Martial Arts Points by practicing basic martial arts, he should fulfill his agreement with Zhao Liuping.

...

The next day, after work.

Zhou You went to find Zhao Liuping.

"Brother Zhao, I wonder if there's any progress on the martial arts techniques I asked you to find last time?"

"Oh. Regarding this matter, fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. I've already contacted the seller, but…"

Zhao Liuping rubbed his fingers. "This is a martial art passed down from that person's family. It's not cheap."

He made a three sign.

30 taels?

Zhou You immediately understood. He took out three ten-tael silver notes and handed them over.

During this period of time, Zhou You had already begun to take a commission from selling medicine. He did not have to worry about others suspecting that his money came from an unknown source.

"Brother Zhou, if it's urgent, I'll send it to you tonight." Zhao Liuping took the silver notes with a smile and said politely.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao," Zhou You said.

"…" Zhao Liuping's smile froze.

When the sky turned dark, Zhao Liuping delivered the martial arts manual as promised.

It was a basic leg technique.

Gale Phantom Kick.

When cultivated to a high level, one's legs would be like a gust of wind, and it would be difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

He flipped through it carefully and successfully recorded it on the interface.

Gale Phantom Kick (Uninitiated)

The Aptitude column was also displayed.

Gale Phantom Kick (40%)

The compatibility did not match the 60% he had for the Green Snake Fist, but it was much higher than the 22% for the Ferocious Tiger Fist.

Zhou You was not in a hurry to cultivate the Gale Phantom Kick. Instead, he began to cultivate the Ferocious Tiger Fist.

After six routine cultivation sessions, Zhou You rested for a while before starting to cultivate the Gale Phantom Kick.

The Gale Phantom Kick was far more complicated than the Green Snake Fist, and it was far harder to practice it.

After cultivating six times, Zhou You stopped.

Gale Phantom Kick (Master) (6/8)

At this speed, he could reach Perfection in three months.

Zhou You was a little dissatisfied, but his body had already reached its limit.

If there was a better tonic, it might shorten the process.

After studying for more than a month, Zhou You now had some understanding of medicine.

At this stage, the only thing suitable for him was bacon soup.

The other factions also had similar tonics with similar effects.

As for tonics with better effects, the only option was medicinal pills.

In the entire Mengyang City, only the Meng family had apothecaries who could refine pills themselves.

The pills of the other factions were either distributed from the headquarters or bought from the outside at a high price.

There were abundant tonics to replenish energy.

For Body Forging martial artists, there were Blood Strengthening Pills, Essence Energy Pills, Muscle and Bone Pills, and so on.

Blood Strengthening Pills cost one tael of silver each.

Essence Energy Pills cost two to five taels of silver each. They were divided into the upper, middle, and lower grades. They were upgraded versions of Blood Strengthening Pills.

The Muscle and Bone Pill cost three taels of silver each. It had the effect of nurturing large tendons, and its medicinal effect was only equivalent to a low-grade Essence Energy Pill.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, the Blood Strengthening Pill was the most cost-effective.

However, the speed of recovery was gradually unable to keep up.

If he ate too many Blood Strengthening Pills, he would not be able to digest and absorb them when he practiced martial arts. It would affect his sleep at night.

Now, Zhou You consumed one high-grade Essence Energy Pill and one Blood Strengthening Pill every day.

It was worth six taels of silver.

After buying the martial art technique today, he did not have much savings left.
