Outside the banquet hall, a girl in a floral dress walked in. Although her appearance was not as good as Mu Xueqing's, she was still somewhat bright and lively.

cousin?When did I have this cousin?

Zhou Xing was taken aback.

"Yinger, why are you here?"

The Patriarch got up quickly, with a look of love on his face.

The rest of the clan elders stood up one after another and greeted the girl in the floral skirt, looking very polite.

The degree of attention is far better than Zhou Xing.

"This is?"

Zhou Xing only felt that this girl was familiar, including her name.

Father Zhou Tiande explained: "This is the adopted daughter of your uncle. I met her when I was a child. Do you have any impression?"

Zhou Xing recalled carefully, only a little impression of Mohu.

in memory.

The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, is also Zhou Xing's uncle, with only one son under his knees, who has no qualifications for martial arts, and is devoted to business.

At a certain time, when Zhou Xing was three or four years old, the head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, took in a "adopted daughter", probably this Ying Er.

But a few years later, that adopted daughter suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

At that time, Zhou Xing was just a child, and there were many peers in his family, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now, what's going on here?

The adopted daughter who disappeared for a long time has now reappeared, and it seems that she is also unanimously sought after by all the senior members of the family.

"I'm Yinger, Zhou Yinger."

The girl in the floral dress was a familiar one, and said, "I've heard about your 'incompetent' cousin for a long time, but I didn't expect to break through the meridian period now, it's really unexpected..."

Uh... Incompetent cousin?
Zhou Xing was stunned, this Zhou Yinger was really rude.

"Xing'er, don't mind. Ying'er is that carefree personality, with a sharp mouth..."

Patriarch Zhou Tianwei smiled at Zhou Xingdao.

He was worried that Zhou Yinger's words would hurt Zhou Xing's self-esteem; however, in his words, there was still a hint of love and protection for Zhou Yinger.

"Mother, what's going on with this Zhou Yinger?"

Zhou Xing asked in a low voice.

"You talk about Yinger. She has amazing aptitude since she was a child. When she was about seven or eight years old, she entered the forging stage and was sent to the "Shuiyue School" in the eastern part of Chu State. Now, at the age of 14, she has been promoted to the general It is said that he possesses a 'middle-grade spiritual body' and was accepted as a disciple by the elders of the Shuiyue Sect. He is already a disciple of the inner sect..."

Mother Zhou said with a smile.

In words, she seemed to like Zhou Yinger quite a lot.

Water moon faction?Late stage of Tongmai? Inner sect disciple?

Zhou Xing was surprised by this series of news and was hit hard.

You know, this Zhou Yinger is one year younger than herself.

Finally, he completely understood why the head of the family, his parents and others didn't feel much surprise when they heard the news that he was promoted to Tongmai.

The truth of everything is here!

The Zhou family actually secretly raised such a heavenly girl.

"Xing'er, now you know Ying Er officially. In the past, because you were worried that Ying Er would be murdered by a rival family because of her extraordinary talent, so she kept it secret. Now that Ying Er has become the disciple of the elder of the sect, you don't have to be too careful. gone."

Patriarch Zhou Tianwei said with a smile.

Zhou Xing nodded in agreement, but he was slandering in his heart: this Zhou Yinger was well protected, she pity her former self for enduring Wang Lingyun's persecution.

"Little cousin."

Zhou Yinger curled her lips, and said old-fashionedly: "In the future, if you don't understand anything in martial arts, you can ask me for advice!"

Zhou Xing: "..."

The entire dinner was said to be a celebration of Zhou Xing, but the real protagonist was Zhou Yinger.

at the banquet.

All the senior officials in the clan highly respected Zhou Yinger, and there were many compliments in their words.

At that time, Zhou Yinger was not a modest person, and she often treated Zhou Xing, the "little cousin", in a "preaching" tone.

Clay figurines still have a temper.

Zhou Xing is not a clay figurine, nor is he a broad-minded person who repays virtue with resentment, so he was naturally a little unhappy.

"Come on Zhou Xing! You are the protagonist of the dinner! Congratulations to my Zhou family, there is another person who is based in the sect..."

The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, is an old man, so he took the lead in toasting to relieve Zhou Xing's embarrassment.

……

Very late at night.

Zhou Xing and his parents returned to their small courtyard.

"Xing'er, don't worry about today's dinner. Ying'er has a middle-grade spiritual body, worships under the elders of the sect, and has a bright future. The clan elders chase after her, and your uncle dotes on her. Common sense."

Mother Liu Yu persuaded.

"It is indeed human nature."

Zhou Xing smiled wryly.After the banquet, he didn't really take it to heart.After all, Zhou Yinger is also her cousin.

When it comes to the coldness of the world and the warmth of human relationships, Zhou Xing has seen too much in the sect.

However, now that Zhou Xing has returned to the clan, he has a feeling of treating this place as "home", which makes him bear a certain contrast in reality.

at this moment.

The 15-year-old Zhou Xing finally understood.

Whether it is in the sect, within the clan, or outside, the principle of respecting the strong is the same.

"It's good that you understand these things. I hope you and Yinger can live in harmony..."

Zhou Tiande smiled slightly.

……

Back to the wing.

Zhou Xing was quiet for a while, and then he performed the "Yun Sha Heart Method" as usual, walking through the meridians with his inner breath.

The practice of the mental method is about accumulating over time,

It is enough to practice one or two hours a day, too much is not beneficial.

Two hours later.

Zhou Xing ran the "Yunsha Heart Method" several times, and couldn't help but sighed.

In terms of mental method and internal energy, his progress is mediocre, far inferior to his amazing performance in the field of physical arts.

Imagine.

Geniuses such as Zhou Ying'er and Le Feng must have far surpassed Zhou Xing in terms of efficiency and progress in the cultivation of inner breathing and mental methods.

Zhou Xing couldn't help but think of the red-faced old man's evaluation of himself.

At that time, the elder of the sect praised him very much, but at the same time couldn't help feeling sorry.

"Why don't you try "Bronze Statue Technique"?"

Zhou Xing remembered the unorthodox exercise recommended by the red-faced old man.

In "Bronze Statue Art", because there is no way to unblock the meridians, it was temporarily abandoned by Zhou Xing at the beginning.

This time, Zhou Xing looked at "Bronze Statue Art" again and saw the description above.

Upon closer inspection, Zhou Xing couldn't help being a little surprised.

First of all.

As an ancient body training method, "Bronze Statue Technique" is specially aimed at the practice of "physical skills", which is very suitable for his talent.

Second.

The powerful effect of "Bronze Statue Art" is indeed good, it can greatly enhance the physique, strength, especially defense!
After practicing the "Bronze Statue Art" to great success, the whole body is like a bronze statue, invulnerable to swords and guns, and has infinite power.

The first part of "Bronze Statue Art" is divided into three levels: copper skin, copper tendons, and copper bones, which just correspond to the body forging stage, the meridian opening stage, and the viscera refining stage.

As described above.

If Zhou Xing can cultivate to the "copper skin" level, he can basically ignore attacks at the forged body level, including slashing with ordinary swords.

If one reaches the level of "copper tendons", one can forcibly resist attacks at the meridian stage, and even rely on a strong physique alone to run rampant at the meridian stage, like a ferocious beast in human form.

In terms of tyranny, this "Bronze Statue Art" naturally has nothing to criticize.

but.As a partial practice, it has high requirements on physical fitness and perseverance.Even in terms of training time and difficulty, it is still far above martial arts such as "Yun Sha Fist".

"Huh! Unique body refining method...'Bronze Statue Casting Method'?"

Zhou Xing found a special body training method in "Bronze Statue Art", and his eyes lit up.

The "bronze statue casting method" is to temper and stimulate the body through various body movements of many parts of the body.

These actions include more than a dozen methods such as kneading, pinching, bending, bending, knocking, and twisting.

It targets every tiny part of the body, including large and small muscles, bones all over the body, and many joints and acupuncture points.

Just looking at the picture and text introduction, Zhou Xing opened his eyes and gained a new understanding of the human body.

He never thought that the human body has so many muscles, bones, joints, and countless acupuncture points and meridians.

"This "Bronze Statue Technique" basically regards the human body as an 'iron smelting'. Every part of the body, large and small, is tempered and stimulated thousands of times, and finally, a living 'Bronze Statue Body' is created. .”

Zhou Xing probably understood the principle.

I'm afraid that ordinary people can't bear this kind of practice at all. The pain alone is very bearable.

Among them, some use the external environment, such as stoves, ice, waterfalls, huge waves, etc., to temper their bodies, which is enough to scare off a large number of people.

Most people, even if you have enough perseverance and patience, are still far away from success.

Because some of the difficult movements in the body training method have very strict requirements on physical fitness; it may take ten and a half months for an ordinary person's physique to meet the requirements for one of the small movements.

Call ~
President Zhou let out a breath, and finally understood why there was a layer of dirt on the cheat book when he took it out.

But the difficulty of this martial art did not frighten him.

That night, Zhou Xing began to practice the "Bronze Statue Exercise".

in the room.

One by one, the meticulous or exaggerated movements are presented on Zhou Xing's body.

Some body forging movements require beating on key parts of the body, and even difficult twisting and kneading.

however.

These actions did not bother Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing's physique can no longer be measured by common sense. He can bend as much as he wants, and bend as much as he wants.

Some "tapping" body training movements are not a big deal for him; it may be because of his special physique, the pain during the training process is much lower than expected.

If.

Ordinary people can only barely achieve 120 to [-] points in these exercises; then Zhou Xing can even exceed the performance of [-] points, which exceeds the requirements of exercise methods.

Of course, just one night is not enough to complete the complicated "Bronze Statue Exercise".

This night, Zhou Xing mainly targeted his arms.

Early morning of the second day.

Zhou Xing raised his arms, only to see that the flesh on them had a layer of bright yellow, which was as hard as iron.

"So fast?"

Zhou Xing himself was a little surprised.

In just one night, his arms possessed some characteristics of the "copper skin" level.

Presumably, at this time, some punches and kicks in the early stage of body forging, hit Zhou Xing's arms, and kicked the wall, there is not much difference.

Zhou Xing was pleasantly surprised and excited by the rapid progress of "Bronze Statue Skill".

After he thought about it, it might be his own physique, after the fusion of the mysterious heart, he had reached a high level.

The level of "copper skin" may be considered "low-end" for Zhou Xing's current physique.

Of course, Zhou Xing's strong physique, abnormal resilience, and the extremely difficult completion of those body training methods are also one of the important reasons.

the next day.

Zhou Xing simply concentrated on practicing the "Bronze Statue Technique". Except for the fixed transfer of internal energy and a small amount of rest every day, most of the time he was doing body exercises.

In a blink of an eye, three or four days passed.

Zhou Xing's whole body has been tempered by the "bronze statue body training method".

According to the progress of ordinary people, it takes a few months at least, and a year or so at most, before it is possible to exercise the whole body, and the effect is definitely far inferior to that of Zhou Xing.

Very night.

Zhou Xing only wore a pair of underpants, exposing his skin as bright as copper.

Call ~
As soon as he activated the "Bronze Statue Technique", the skin and flesh of his whole body showed a layer of light copper luster, and swelled in a circle in an astonishing way, like a bronze man.

"Is this the 'copper body'?"

Zhou Xing looked surprised, and took out an ordinary knife.

Ding!
With the strength of an ordinary body forging stage, the blade slashed on the skin of the arm, but there was a light and crisp sound, and the latter was safe and sound.

Install the latest version. 】

"Haha, I'm at least a 'basic copper skin'."

Zhou Xing grinned.

The tempering of the "copper skin" level is still the most superficial flesh; the subsequent "copper tendons" are the deeper muscles; the final "copper bone" is the tempering that goes deep into the bone marrow.

Now, Zhou Xing's "copper skin body" is at least in its infancy.

Because Zhou Xing's physique is strong enough, the increase in strength is only a little.The most increased is the body's defense!
……

The next morning, Zhou Xing found his father Zhou Tiande.

"Father, I am practicing a kind of body training method here, and I need to buy some medicinal materials to cooperate with body tempering."

Zhou Xing said.

The practice of "Bronze Statue Art" not only depends on oneself, but also needs external resources.

Among them, the body quenching liquid is an external force assistance method.Relevant prescriptions, from low to high, introduced several kinds in "Bronze Statue Skill".

"Oh?"

Father Zhou received two body quenching prescriptions.

These two prescriptions are still slightly low-end in "Bronze Statue Technique".

The lowest-end one is called "Public Prescription", a precious medicinal material that can be bought with gold and silver in the world.

The other one needs to be combined with some rare spiritual materials, which may require primordial stones to purchase.

"There is no problem with the first prescription. The second prescription may require primordial stones. I will apply to your uncle. Now that you have broken through the meridians, the family should give you some resources."

Father Zhou nodded, took the prescription and left.

Zhou Xing, on the other hand, continued to rely on his own physical advantages to practice the "Bronze Statue Art".

three days later.

Zhou Xing's "Bronze Statue Skill" has successfully achieved "Minor Achievement in Copper Skin"!
[Bronze-skin Xiaocheng]: Zhou Xing's body surface defense has increased greatly again, and his strength has also increased to a certain extent.

Reaching this level, estimating the general attack under Tongmai, to Zhou Xing, it was like scratching an itch.

At this time.

Zhou Xing felt that the speed of his exercise had slowed down by practicing alone.

Fortunately at this time.

Father Zhou has already collected the materials needed for the body quenching liquid.

But to Zhou Xing's disappointment, what Zhou's father brought was only the medicinal materials of the "common people's prescription", the kind that can be bought with ordinary gold and silver.

According to the description in "Bronze Statue Technique", this prescription has the worst effect.

"Well, for the time being, we only collected the materials for the first prescription. For the second one, because we need some primordial stones, your uncle said that the family's finances are very tight, so we need to think about it."

Father Zhou said with a guilty face.

He originally imagined that now that Zhou Xing had broken through the meridian, the family should give some resources to cultivate it.

In the end, he was rejected by the Patriarch Zhou Tianwei.
