Chapter 45: Minor Success in Blood Training
"Just a box of lamp oil?"

Chen Sanshi didn't believe it.

He rechecked the exquisite jade box and confirmed that there was nothing inside except the self-destruct mechanism, and there was no interlayer.

Wushen Cult, Xiang Tingchun, and Martial Arts School.

This is what all the forces have been fighting for?
According to Chen Sanshi's summary, the martial arts hall and Xiang Tingchun might not know clearly what the magic treasure is. The only group that knows the inside story, the Wushen Sect, are extremely stubborn and refuse to say it out.

It’s definitely not that simple.

Chen Sanshi came to the door of the kitchen, scooped out a very small amount of lamp oil with his fingers, and gently smeared it on the wooden stake used for chopping firewood. Then he found a fire starter and blew out a small flame.

"boom--"

The moment the small flame came into contact with the lamp oil, a red flame burst out, like a fire dragon emerging from the void, rising to a height of two or three meters in an instant.

After just a few breaths, the wooden stake was burned to ashes.

You know, this wooden stake is half a meter in diameter and thirty centimeters high. It is difficult to light it with ordinary flames. If you don’t split it, it will take a whole day and night to burn it to ashes!
Even though he was two steps away, Chen Sanshi felt like he was almost roasted!

How powerful is it?

What kind of animal fat is this? The flames it burns are so terrifying!
“It is indeed not an ordinary item.”

Chen Sanshi felt a little palpitated.

The thing is powerful, but why are they fighting so hard for it?

As a weapon?

He weighed the iron box which was half the size of his palm.

This amount is enough for several uses.

It shouldn't be necessary to snatch it like this, right?
Chen Sanshi judged that this fire must have another purpose.

He checked the exquisite jade box again and came to a conclusion after repeated confirmation.

There really is nothing else.

It seems that the method of using fire may be in the hands of the Wushen Cult.

This... there is no way for the time being.

Chen Sanshi felt a little disappointed.

However, this fire is extremely powerful and can be used at critical moments.

As for its real use, we can only take it one step at a time and see.

"My current goal is to be selected to enter the Eighth Battalion."

"We still need to improve our strength as soon as possible!"

Chen Sanshi packed up his things and prepared to have a good night's rest to recuperate.

He was only a thin layer of paper away from a breakthrough.

……

The next day, military camp.

Chen Sanshi drank a bowl of Nine-Transformation Replenishing Essence Soup, and while his energy and blood were at their peak, he picked up his spear and practiced the basic soldier spear skills that he had already mastered.

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound of breaking through the air was heard in the empty training ground.

This attracted the attention of the soldiers nearby.

Under the sunlight, every time the reed spear was swung, the tip of the spear would reflect dazzling golden light. As the spear was swung faster and faster, the golden lights gradually connected together.

Looking from afar, it looks like a golden snake is dancing wildly in the void, or like a golden paintbrush is painting the majestic mountains and rivers, making people want to get closer to take a look. However, the continuous violent sound of breaking through the air reminds everyone that this is not a beautiful sight, but a deadly killing technique!

The spear whistled and the body moved.

The flickering light and shadow lasted for half an incense stick of time.

Until one moment, everything suddenly stopped.

All the golden light gathered at one point and fell on the wooden stakes in the training ground at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.

"boom--"

There was a training pole that was as wide as an adult man's shoulders and two meters high. It exploded with a loud bang, with the stabbed part as the core. The sky was filled with wooden splinters and debris, which flew far away and then pierced the ground like a rain of arrows.

A soldier who wanted to join in the fun was nearly hit by the wooden spike. He collapsed backwards to the ground, terrified.

The young man slowly put away his gun. His smooth and tight muscles were covered with sweat. Under the autumn sun, his whole body was shrouded in steaming white smoke, as if he had walked out of flames.

Little success!

The two streams of qi and blood become four streams and merge into the limbs!
[Kung Fu: Basic Spear Skills for Soldiers (Minor Success)]

[Progress: (0/2000)]

[Effect: Swift spear force, amazing endurance, strong blood, and strange blood phenomena]

Chen Sanshi didn't understand the newly added effect for a while.

Blood produces strange visions.

Does it mean that the blood is changing?
He tried to mobilize his qi and blood and found that his blood was extremely hot. Compared with before, the explosive power of each unit of qi and blood was stronger.

Could it be related to the bone training realm after blood training?

"Congratulations, Officer Chen!"

Many people came up to congratulate him. General Fang said with emotion: "Such talent is really enviable!"

"It just costs more money."

Chen Sanshi said modestly: "If I hadn't earned money from hunting to buy medicine, I wouldn't have made a breakthrough so quickly."

"What you said, isn't hunting also a skill?"

Mr. Fang became even more envious.

As martial artists who have mastered blood training, they can naturally pull heavy bows with ease.

But being able to pull away does not necessarily mean that you can shoot accurately.

Even if you spend a lot of time training, you can't reach a very high level, let alone hit the target that you can't even see clearly.

For some things, the upper limit is really determined by talent.

Chen Sanshi privately found Wang Zhi and asked him about the issues regarding his next practice.

"Did you break through again?"

Wang Zhi almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

At this moment, he was no longer filled with pure joy, but with a level of shock that had greatly increased.

After practicing martial arts for more than a month, I have completed a journey that most people would take years or even a lifetime to complete. God is really unfair.

"Captain Wang."

Chen Sanshi asked: "What should I pay attention to when practicing blood, and is there any connection between it and the bone training realm?"

"Good understanding."

Wang Zhi held the wine bowl and explained: "Practicing blood, as the name suggests, is to practice blood.

“After achieving great success, when the Qi and blood flow throughout the body, you can start to train your bones.

“Only when the quality of the Qi and blood you cultivate is high enough, will the bones and flesh tempered with blood in the future be better.

“This is also the reason why I gave you the Haoran Breathing Method.

“Blood training is the foundation. If the foundation is not solid, it means you lose from the beginning.

"You should be able to feel that there are very few people at the same level as you who can match you in three rounds. The gap will get bigger as time goes by."

"Tempering bones with blood..."

Blood is really related to the next realm.

Chen Sanshi wasn't sure whether the "Blood-Born Phenomenon" was unique to the proficiency panel, so he didn't bring it up for now, intending to wait and see the effects.

"You are awesome, kid."

Wang Zhi counted the time on his fingers: "The training speed is fast enough. Our guard post will soon get a large amount of medicinal materials. You will hopefully be able to train your bones before the beginning of next spring!"

Chen Sanshi extracted the key point from the conversation: "The guard post is going to get the medicinal materials soon?"

"Hey, don't mention it."

Wang Zhi found it quite interesting, took a sip of wine, and said, "Yesterday at Babaolou, those old bastards in the martial arts hall were very arrogant, saying that the guards were placing them under house arrest and wanted to find someone to file a complaint.

“As a result, this morning, he was like a different person.

"He claimed that he would fully support our Qianhu Division in going to war against the barbarians next year.

“Once the four major martial arts schools agree, the county’s gentry and wealthy merchants will also have to pay.

"We are going to be prosperous this time."

Chen Sanshi was suspicious.

From what he said, Xiang Tingchun successfully took control of the martial arts school?
But the thing is in his hands, why should the martial arts school obey him?

unless……

Xiang Tingchun is trying to get something for nothing!

Good guy, you’re not afraid of being exposed.

That afternoon, near dusk, Wang Zhi's words came true.

Disciples from various martial arts schools came in groups, pulling carts and delivering countless supplies.

"The warehouse for medicinal materials is on the left!"

"Food on the right!"

"Isn't your number wrong? There are two hundred dan of grain missing. It must be delivered before dark tomorrow!"

"..."

The chief of the warehouse led several clerks to count the supplies one by one.

The warehouses in the military camp that had been idle for many years were put to use again, and the granaries were packed to the brim, with sacks almost overflowing.

Successive poor harvests?

The rich have plenty of food.

"Om-"

The assembly call sounded, and the herald called everyone to the martial arts field, claiming that the captain had an important announcement to make.
