From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 13 Breakthrough
In the bedroom.

Jiang Chen was completely naked.

The originally thin body now has a clear circle of muscle outline, and a special texture appears faintly on the surface of the skin.

He opened the panel and took a look.

-

[Sap: Level 663 (1000/)]

【Theft: Level 110 (1000/)】

[Acting Skills: Level 313 (1000/)]

[Pharmaceuticals: Level 153 (1000/)]

[Bronze Skin: Entry Level (971/1000)]

-

[Stun] Play for two hours every day and gain 500 experience points.

Previously, because of touching corpses and rummaging through Gao Wei's house, I gained some experience in theft.

As for [Acting Skills], due to the needs of daily life and dealing with colleagues in the government office, it also increased by more than 200 points.

[Pharmaceuticals] also increased to 153 points because of the daily preparation of the "Jade Skin Tempering Liquid".

The most important [Bronze Skin] has been advanced to nine hundred and seventy-one points.

Just one more practice and you will be able to completely reach the bronze level.

Jiang Chen pondered in his mind, picked up the medicine jar, and smeared the green paste in it all over his skin.

Then he sat cross-legged and began to practice the "Blood Moving and Breathing Method".

Breathing gradually takes on a certain special pattern, driving the body's Qi and blood to sweep across the membrane like a tide.

A tingling and cool feeling flows across the skin surface.

Time passed slowly, and on the panel, the experience value of [Bronze Skin] continued to rise.

More than an hour later.

The experience value of [Bronze Skin] increased to nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Jiang Chen clearly felt that his membrane seemed to have accumulated from quantitative change to the brink of qualitative change.

next moment.

The text on the panel blurred for a moment, then became clear again.

[Bronze Skin: Minor Achievement (1/1000)]

The flow of qi and blood in the body under the membrane suddenly became much smoother.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The "Jade Skin Refining Liquid" on his body has formed scabs, wrapping his body tightly.

Jiang Chen peeled off a scab, and the skin underneath was clean and had an extremely tough texture.

Even the strength of the body seems to have increased a lot...

Jiang Chen clenched his fist and swung his arm to punch out.

The fist stretched out like a drill, leaving a shadow in the air.

He tried jumping again.

My body felt as light as a feather, as if it could float in mid-air.

The strength has indeed increased a lot.

But the exact increase still needs further testing.

Jiang Chen got up and took a shower, washing off the scabs from the skin-forging liquid on his body, then pushed the door open and walked out.

At this time, Lao Qian was still collecting money with his men at the South Street entrance and was not in the courtyard.

Jiang Chen walked out of the courtyard alone and came to a wasteland on the edge of Shun'anfang.

First, he picked up a large stone, estimating its weight to be around two hundred kilograms.

Jiang Chen picked up the rock and exerted force suddenly.

Kaka-

The rock that was deeply embedded in the soil rose up from the ground and was lifted above Jiang Chen's head.

"call……"

After a while, he put down the rock with some difficulty.

Since this stone does not have a good fulcrum, it is not easy to lift it.

If he lifted the same barbell as in his previous life, he should be able to lift even heavier weights.

As far as he knows,
In the previous life, the world record for professional weightlifting in the 54kg weight class was only 130kg.

His body weighing over 100 jin,

After only half a month of practice and having just achieved the minor level of bronze skin, he could already be compared with the world-class athletes of his previous life.

The martial arts of this world are really terrifyingly strong... I have a rough idea of ​​my current strength.
Jiang Chen planned to test his current running speed again.

The runway was roughly measured to be thirty-three zhang, or one hundred meters.

Jiang Chen stood at the starting line, rushing out like a cheetah, and counting down in his mind at the same time.

In his previous life, he played a countdown game for a period of time, and the countdown error within twenty seconds would not exceed half a second.

After a few breaths, the test was over.

One hundred meters in ten and a half seconds!

"call……"

Jiang Chen exhaled slowly.

In the previous life, the standard for a national-level sprinter was 10.6 seconds.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's running speed has exceeded this standard.

And this was achieved without any systematic running training.

Now he,

Both in terms of strength and speed, they have reached the first-tier level of human beings in the previous life.

In terms of comprehensive quality, it should be considered the top level among human beings.

It has only been half a month, and it is only the first level of martial arts in this world.

A bit awesome...

Jiang Chen felt a little emotional, and couldn't help but look forward to his future in martial arts.

After testing his strength and running speed, Jiang Chen picked up the wooden stick that had been with him for more than a month.

He raised the stick with great skill and aimed it at the rock in front of him.

"Oh!"

There was an explosion.

The shadow of the stick fell from mid-air and hit the boulder heavily.

The rock cracked on the spot, with spider-web-like cracks spreading out like a basin-sized mark on the surface of the stone, accompanied by some gravel splashing out.

Jiang Chen raised the stick and took a look at the situation on the rock.

As expected, with the increase in strength, the power of [Sap] has also been greatly improved.

This weapon of mine...

Jiang Chen picked up the end of the stick and took a look.

At the end of the wooden stick, some vertical cracks and forks have appeared.

This wooden stick was originally a branch of the ironwood tree.

The iron tree is a good material for making gun barrels. It is tough and heavy, just like pig iron.

After Jiang Chen picked it up, he polished it into a wooden stick of suitable size.

I have used it for two months now, and have knocked over countless things. It is almost time for it to die.

"We need to change our weapon."

Jiang Chen put away the stick, stood up and left the wasteland.

He then found a blacksmith shop in Shun'anfang and asked the blacksmith to make him a stick made of fine iron that reached his eyebrows.

Weapons forged from fine iron are very valuable, so another three hundred coins were spent on them.

During these ten days, Jiang Chen spent a total of two taels and two cents of silver on the Green Jade Skin Strengthening Liquid, the Qi and Blood Decoction, and some miscellaneous expenses.

The three taels and six cents of silver that he had robbed from Gao Wei, along with the several hundred coins he had saved from begging, had all been spent.

Fortunately, on South Street, Jiang Chen can earn more than 50 coins every day, and has accumulated 800 coins in the past ten days.

Moreover, beyond Jiang Chen's expectation,
The beggars on South Street are no longer being exploited by Gao Wei, and their lives have improved a lot.
There were actually several beggars who had saved up 500 coins and planned to purchase household registration in Yanyang City.

The handling of household registration also falls within the scope of the duties of the corvée.

As residents of South Street, they naturally had to come to Jiang Chen to handle it.
So the five hundred coins in their hands naturally fell into Jiang Chen's hands.

Of these five hundred coins, four hundred coins need to be handed over to the Shun'anfang Yamen.

The remaining one hundred coins were Jiang Chen’s labor fees.

In the past few days, three beggars have come to him to buy household registration, which has earned Jiang Chen an extra three hundred coins.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Also because of this,

Now he is not yet bankrupt, as he still has a few ounces of silver to provide a safety net.

"It's hard to make money..."

Jiang Chen walked out of the blacksmith shop and sighed softly.
