Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from depriving the mantis shrimp of its talent

Chapter 39 Stone Fist Breakthrough

"Alas! I was so tired of the Purple Jade Eggplant that I fell to this level."

Chen Cheng came out of Yuxiang Tower, feeling full of annoyance.

Originally, he had no interest in places like Yuxiang Tower, but he didn't expect that he would go there every day for several days in a row.

"Speaking of which, this is already the sixth day."

Chen Cheng looked at his right hand. The five fingers of the bloodline network had been completely covered and began to spread to the palm.

"The breakthrough of Gravel Fist will be in these two days."

After breaking through the first blood with the Breaking Claw, the total amount and quality of Chen Cheng's qi and blood increased greatly. By practicing with higher quality qi and blood, the progress of the gravel fist was greatly improved.

"In other words, you can definitely practice a fast-moving technique, break through to a higher level first, and then turn around and practice your original martial arts."

Chen Cheng was thoughtful based on his own experience.

"The Breaking Claw is a similar martial art. Whoever starts practicing martial arts directly uses iron sand to practice."

"Although this kind of martial arts progresses quickly, it generally has drawbacks. It damages potential in a short period of time in exchange for rapid progress."

"For example, the rapid progress of the Breaking Claw is based on the rapid recovery of the hands. For ordinary people, all cells have a limit of division. The Breaking Claw takes the path of breaking and then standing, and breaking and standing again. Although the early stage is fast, the peak period is very short.”

"Others can maintain it for 30 years before gradually declining. The peak period of cultivating the Breaking Claw may be ten years, and then quickly decline."

"But, I'm different!"

Chen Cheng looked at his fingers.

"I have the talent of mantis shrimp [infinite division]. Cells can divide infinitely."

"So, this kind of damage potential technique is very suitable for me."

Chen Cheng felt that he could find some similar exercises.

"You should pay more attention in the future."

Two days later.

"It's finally about to break through."

click!click!
As soon as he finished speaking, the muscles in his arms swelled, causing the skin to almost burst.

Affected by the arms, Black Hand, which originally took several days to break through, also began to transform.

Half an hour later, Chen Cheng's swollen arms gradually retracted, and there was no change except that the black hand became thicker.

Feeling the regeneration of qi and blood in his body, Chen Cheng made an estimate

"Strength and vitality have increased by one-third."

"These improvements are secondary. The biggest improvements are the thunder breaking style and power storage strength."

When the gravel fist breaks through, the muscle strength of both arms and black hands increases again, which represents an increase in the total amount of power stored.

That night, Chen Cheng returned to the boxing gym and told Old Man Ma about his breakthrough in gravel boxing.

"Good good!"

Old Man Ma was overjoyed when he heard this.

Chen Cheng had previously relied on the Breaking Edge Claw and Hunyuan Ruyi Body to break through. These two martial arts had no characteristics in appearance. In addition, Chen Cheng had not made a move in front of him, so Old Man Ma did not notice it.

But after the gravel fist broke through the stone skin, the forearm became thicker and the skin was as hard as rock, which was still obvious in appearance.

I don’t know how many people were stuck at the level of first blood. Even Tie Zhigang, who was born with supernatural power, was stuck at this level.

However, given Tie Zhigang's situation, if he breaks through to first blood, those ordinary second blood warriors will not be his opponent.

Old Man Ma was so excited that Chen Cheng could make a breakthrough so quickly that he doubled his monthly allowance of black-striped Tai Sui meat and his monthly money. He could get twenty kilograms of meat and 200 taels of silver every month.

After walking into the house, it didn't take long for Old Man Ma to take out a small wooden box.

After opening, there were some bottles and cans in the box.

"Here are enough Zhuangjin Powder for you to practice the Thunder Breaking Style to the second level, as well as the medicinal powder needed for the Bronze Skin Stage of Gravel Fist."

Old Man Ma pondered for a moment

"It's been a bit uneasy outside recently. Please be careful when entering and exiting the city."

"Not quite?"

Chen Cheng frowned. He usually went out early and came back late, but he didn't feel it.

But since Old Man Ma said that, there must be something wrong.

Early the next morning, Old Man Ma summoned all the disciples of the inner sect and announced in public that Chen Cheng had mastered the gravel fist to the stone skin level and became a first-blood warrior.

Several inner disciples were shocked when they heard that Chen Chengcheng had mastered the gravel fist to the level of stone skin in less than three months.

Before Chen Cheng broke through, he was able to defeat Tie Zhigang, who had the upper hand in three first-blood attacks. Now that he had become first-blood this time, he couldn't beat them casually?
Upon hearing this, Tie Zhigang clenched his fists hanging by his sides.He lost half a chip last time. He has been practicing martial arts crazily during this period, but his body's potential seems to be exhausted, and his strength has only grown very limited. It seems that he should have reached his limit before refining his blood.

During this period of crazy training, he felt that his long-stagnant gravel fist was showing signs of a breakthrough, and he might be able to break through to the stone skin in another half month.

After the breakthrough, warm and nourish for a period of time, so that the body's physique can catch up, and then you can step into the blood refining level.

But he didn't expect that Chen Cheng would break through before him, and it would be a matter of course, and he would directly step into blood refining without going through the stage of warming up the body.

"Is this a real genius? I'm still too weak!"

Chen Cheng suddenly felt a scorching gaze, followed the feeling, and met Tie Zhigang's eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Chen Cheng nodded slightly to Tie Zhigang. He found that there seemed to be a few fewer people in the inner sect. There were three female disciples before, but now only Lu Xialan was left.

After making the announcement, Old Man Ma allowed his disciples to move freely.

Before others could gather around to congratulate him, Tie Zhigang took the lead and came to him.

"Junior Brother Chen, congratulations."

Chen Cheng responded with a smile
"It's just a fluke that I took the first step."

Tie Zhigang's voice changed

"A breakthrough is a happy event and should be celebrated. Why don't you celebrate by playing a game with me?"

The corner of Chen Cheng's mouth twitched slightly. He would never fight with anyone to celebrate, but seeing the fighting spirit in Tie Zhigang's eyes, it was impossible to refuse.

"Then stop there."

"Then here I come!"

Tie Zhigang shouted loudly and took action suddenly.

Facing Tie Zhigang's all-out attack, Chen Cheng had to rely on his two hearts to accelerate to the limit and use both of his powers to cope with it.

But now, his strength and qi and blood have been greatly improved. He doesn't need to use all his strength to accelerate his qi and blood. He just keeps it at three times the normal level. With both strength, he can block Tie Zhigang's full blast.

After the gravel fist breakthrough, not only the strength has improved, but the punching speed and explosion have also improved.

Tie Zhigang fought more and more crazily, his arms turned into machine guns, his fists were like shooting stars, and they almost produced sparks from the friction with the air, and the sky was full of fist shadows.

Chen Cheng's expression didn't change, but Tie Zhi just increased his speed to full speed, and started sparring with him frantically.

Seeing one fighting to the point of madness, and the other showing ease with an expressionless face, Lu Xialan, who was dressed in a man's attire and looked very heroic, sighed.
"Tie Zhigang has already lost too much."

boom!
Tie Zhigang suddenly stomped, and a violent force rose up. This time, the force of the stomp was extremely strong. The blood was driven straight to the sky, and his face turned red.

A violent force rises from the ground, passes through the shin, cross, waist, back, shoulders and elbows, and pours into the fist.

A strong wind surrounded the whole body, binding the chopped slate fragments in the air, and the next second he punched with thunder!
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, and the thunder suddenly stopped. Tie Zhigang's violent punch was caught by a palm. The air flow generated by the collision burst out from between the fist palms, blowing their clothes close to their bodies. There was a swishing sound.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Tie Zhigang's face turned red when Chen Cheng grabbed his fist, and he was panting heavily.

With the last punch, Chen Cheng also exploded with the power of the thunder-breaking style, but it did not fully explode.

It only took four times the power to catch Tie Zhigang's full blow.

After breaking through the first layer of the Gravel Fist and Hunyuan Ruyi Body, his current strength is twice that of the last time he fought Tie Zhigang. The Gravel Fist at the Stonehide Realm also has a greater bonus than the Gravel Fist at the Cowhide Realm. Big, when the two are superimposed, the four-fold explosion is much larger than the previous six-fold explosion.

The previous six-fold explosion was only half as good as Tie Zhigang's full-out explosion, but now he can suppress it steadily without using all his strength.

If combined with seven times the energy and blood acceleration and six times the Thunder Breaking Style, Chen Cheng could defeat Tie Zhigang with two punches.

Looking at Chen Cheng who easily suppressed Tie Zhigang, Zou Hongxiu was a little sluggish and murmured
"I'm afraid that Senior Brother may not be able to defeat Junior Brother Chen now."

Chen Cheng let go of his hand, and Tie Zhigang exhaled a deep breath of hot breath to calm down the energy and blood that had been disturbed by the shock to his feet. After recovering, he cupped his hands towards Chen Cheng, his face extremely serious.

"Before, I was a little bit dissatisfied with the teacher's acceptance of you as his successor, but now I am completely convinced!"

"However, don't be too relaxed. I will catch up with you later. When I break through the first blood, I will challenge you again!"

"You are always welcome."

Chen Cheng also followed his example and cupped his hands.

Tie Zhigang was really stimulated this time.

Three months ago, Chen Cheng could only defeat him with one move of the Thunder Breaking Style. More than a month ago, even with the help of the secret technique to accelerate his energy and blood, coupled with the simultaneous use of both powers and the Thunder Breaking Style, Chen Cheng could only defeat him. He's even better than him.

More than a month later, he thought that after this period of training, he would be able to tie with Chen Cheng or even overwhelm him, but he did not expect that Chen Cheng could easily suppress him this time without even using the secret method of accelerating qi and blood.

"Sure enough, I'm still too weak!"

"Next time, next time when I break through the blood refining process and tap into my body's potential again, I will definitely be able to defeat him!"

Tie Zhigang's eyes were extremely determined, and he was ready to increase the intensity of his training again. He must fight Chen Cheng again after breaking through the first blood next time.
