Chapter 92 The Fifth Layer of Iron Shirt, Four Forces (Please Subscribe)
Yellowstone City.

After months of quelling the rebellion, peace was finally restored, but the streets and alleys remained desolate.

County government.

The armored troops now stationed here are led by Commander Hong Yue.

Tapping.

Footsteps approached, and a soldier entered the county government office, knelt down, and said, "Sir, Tao Dingfang has sent a letter."

Seated on the high platform was a man in black robes. Judging from his face, he appeared gentle and refined, but his nearly two-meter-tall, burly figure made him seem anything but refined.

"Send it up."

Hong Yue put down the documents and said in a deep voice.

The soldiers quickly stood up and presented the letter. Hong Yue opened it and smiled slightly: "Haha, Ding Fang has brought me some good news."

As he spoke, he handed the letter to a middle-aged man beside him. Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man stroked his long beard and nodded, saying, "What you say is absolutely right, sir. Dingfang has not disappointed you."

"Haha..." Hong Yue laughed heartily, then stood up, his tall figure like a small mountain coming into view of the soldiers.

“Things here are almost settled. Now that Dingfang has quelled the crisis in White Stone City, let’s go there. If we’re lucky, we might run into the remnants of the Rebirth Cult and take care of them as well,” Hong Yue said.

"Yes!" the middle-aged man echoed. After receiving the order, the soldiers turned and left.

……

Medicine Town.

Tung Sin Tong.

"Finally, I can use the medicine! I wonder how the Boiling Blood Powder compares to the Qi and Blood Powder!"

Su Chen looked at the Boiling Blood Powder that had been brewed in front of him, his eyes gleaming.

According to the deaf-mute man, the Boiling Blood Powder is more potent than ordinary blood and qi medicines and is more suitable for martial arts practitioners. Generally speaking, martial arts practitioners only need to take one dose of Boiling Blood Powder a day. If they take too much, they will be too weak to absorb the nutrients and it will harm them.

Because heeded the deaf-mute man's instructions, Su Chen did not brew too much, only the medicine in front of him.

Picking up a bowl of Boiling Blood Powder, Su Chen first took a sip, then drank it all in one gulp. The moment the heat entered his throat, Su Chen felt a burning sensation.

The effects of Boiling Blood Powder seem to be even more potent than those of Qi and Blood Powder. Usually, it takes at least three doses of Qi and Blood Powder to achieve this effect.

I didn't expect that after taking just one dose, I could feel the herbal decoction becoming warm where it flowed.

After swallowing all the medicine, Su Chen exclaimed "That was refreshing!" and then put down the bowl to carefully feel the changes in his body.

At first, it was just a little hot, but before long, Su Chen noticed that his skin had become rosy and that white mist seemed to be rising from his head.

"wild!"

Su Chen exclaimed in surprise, feeling the intensity of the Boiling Blood Powder, as if nine bulls were roaring inside his body.

Fortunately, with his current strength and physique, apart from the heat, he felt no other abnormalities, and his body was able to withstand the effects of the Boiling Blood Powder.

"One dose of Boiling Blood Powder directly advanced my progress bar to one-tenth, equivalent to the effect of five doses of Qi and Blood Powder. Truly powerful!" After a moment, Su Chen activated his panel, which displayed:
[Martial Arts: ...Iron Shirt - Incomplete (Fourth Level 10%)]

[Easy Mode: ...Iron Shirt - 0 uses (Extreme Thunder Kick + Extreme Wind Chaser Step + 5/50 Qi and Blood Powder/use)]

"At this rate, I only need to take ten doses of Boiling Blood Powder to reach the maximum progress, and I happen to have ten doses of Boiling Blood Powder right now."

As his internal energy and blood gradually stabilized, Su Chen had an idea in mind: "My body hasn't reached its limit yet, but if I continue to take the Boiling Blood Powder, my body may not be able to withstand it. Since I can't take it for a while, I'll wait and try again later."

In the evening, Su Chen felt that his body could withstand the Boiling Blood Powder again, so he brewed another bowl of Boiling Blood Powder. After drinking the bowl, Su Chen experienced the same thing as in the morning, with the effects being similar.

Su Chen guessed that the effect of the medicine was the same as the last time because the interval was short. Otherwise, based on his experience, the effect of the second dose should have been much lower.

However, he didn't care and continued to practice his fist and palm techniques to consume the medicinal power. It wasn't until around 10 p.m. that Su Chen brewed the third dose of Boiling Blood Medicine.

At this point, even though some time had passed, it was clear that his body could not withstand such a powerful medicine. Fortunately, Su Chen persevered, and as a result, he did not fall asleep until very late.

Around nine o'clock the next morning, Su Chen began to repeat the actions of the previous day, insisting on taking three doses of Boiling Blood Powder every day. He continued in this manner until the morning of the fourth day, when he began to brew the last dose of Boiling Blood Powder.

After three days of taking the medicine, the progress on the panel has reached 45 doses of Qi and Blood Powder. Only one more dose is needed to complete the progress and then I can fuse Thunder Kick and Wind Chaser Step.

He was eagerly anticipating how much his strength would improve after integrating these two martial arts techniques.

After easily taking the last dose of medicine, the progress bar changed, and the progress was completely filled.

In the instant of the change, Su Chen felt a jolt throughout his body, and a sudden force surged from the soles of his feet up his body.

"Finally... I've reached the fourth level of power!"

Su Chen's face lit up with joy, but as he carefully comprehended the technique, his smile gradually faded. "Unfortunately, I still couldn't penetrate the internal organs with the energy."

He thought that with the four forces within his body, he could easily channel the energy into his internal organs and strengthen them, but after some attempts, he failed to do so.

"However, it hasn't reached its limit yet. Iron Shirt can still be improved, which requires four hundred taels of silver. I have more than three thousand taels on me, which is enough. In that case, panel, pay to unlock easy mode for me."

After a moment of disappointment, Su Chen's fighting spirit was rekindled, and he turned his attention to the panel.

After using it for so long, Su Chen has gained a basic understanding of the panel's fusion. The so-called fusion technique generally only increases the quantity of force, rather than enhancing the quality of force.

Without needing to integrate cultivation techniques, simply spending money will enhance the quality of your internal energy.

As soon as Su Chen finished thinking, the notification sound on the panel rang:

[Easy Mode Activated: Take a warm bath for one hour to upgrade Iron Shirt - Remnant Training to level 5.]

"It's just soaking in a hot spring," Su Chen said without hesitation, and started boiling water.

After boiling the water, Su Chen soaked in the hot spring, closed his eyes to rest, and quietly watched the progress bar jump continuously.

An hour passed quickly, and the moment the panel changed, the four layers of energy within Su Chen's body also changed.

boom!
The moment he unleashed his power, the enormous bathtub couldn't withstand the pressure and suddenly exploded, spilling bathwater all over the floor.

But Su Chen showed no panic on his face; instead, he revealed a look of surprise and delight.
