From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 6 Second Level
the next period of time.

Jiang Chen went out to beg in the morning every day, and came back in the afternoon to practice [Stupefying] for two hours, and then drank the body-strengthening medicine brewed by Lao Qian.

Whether it is the experience of [Stun] or his own physique and blood, they are all growing rapidly.

The fact that three beggars were missing from South Street went unnoticed by anyone.

……

dusk.

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the ancestral hall.

Jiang Chen finished today's practice and glanced at the panel.

[Sap: Level 564 (1000/)]

He is already halfway through, and in about another seven or eight days, he will be able to upgrade [Stun] to the second level.

Jiang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and walked to Qian Duobao, took the medicine soup he had prepared, and drank it all in one gulp.

After so many days, he has almost gotten used to the bitter taste of the medicine.

"Huh...comfortable."

Exercise can also be addictive, especially when you can clearly feel your progress.

Jiang Chen sat back down on the thatched pile.

Qian Duobao picked up the ladle, cleaned the medicine stove, and said:
"There seems to be some unrest in the city lately."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Jiang Chen raised his head in confusion.

"I heard that it was a demon that was causing trouble. Another demon ran into the city and ate a family in Shun'anfang East."

Demon cannibal?

Jiang Chen's eyes turned serious.

Although he had never seen this thing with his own eyes, in his original memory, he had a great fear of demons.

He was ferocious and terrifying, and killed people like crazy.

This kind of creature seems to be born specifically to kill and eat people. Ordinary people will have no choice but to die if they encounter it.

It is said that only warriors who have entered the martial arts world can deal with them.

In Yanyang City, there are often rumors of demons eating people.

But now, people died in Shunanfang.

Maybe this demon is still hiding in Shun'anfang. If he accidentally wanders to South Street...

That's the end of it.

I still have to improve my strength as soon as possible to protect myself...

Jiang Chen pondered in his heart.

Lao Qian cleaned the medicine stove and put it in place, then lay back down in the pile of straw.

"Recently, you'd better be careful when you go out, lest you really run into a demon, then there will be no place to complain..."

"Yeah." Jiang Chen nodded.

……

Seven days later.

Jiang Chen stood in the open space, his worn clothes completely soaked with sweat.

Every time the stick was swung, a sharp sound erupted in the ancestral hall.

[Sap: Level 999 (1000/)]

"call……"

Jiang Chen exhaled slowly, feeling the energy flowing through his body and concentrating his mind.

He took a step forward with his left foot, and all the strength in his body gathered into a line, gathered in his palm, and transferred to the wooden stick in his hand.

A stick was swung out, and a sharp wind sound exploded in the air.

"Oh!"

There was a loud bang, and Lao Qian, who was boiling medicine nearby, was so frightened that he trembled and almost shook the medicine in his hand out.

[Sap: Level 1 (1000/)]

Finally broke through to the second level.

Jiang Chen stood up straight, silently feeling the changes in his body.

The muscle lines of the arms are much clearer.

The strength of both arms increased by about 20%, and he became more sensitive to the control and concentration of strength.

He tried to take two steps, tiptoeing on the ground, as light as a leopard on the hunt.

The footwork skills have also improved a bit, but in this regard, the biggest improvement should be another skill - breath control.

This is a technique to reduce the chances of being detected by suppressing your breathing rate.

This makes [Stun] more concealed and easier to ambush people.

Jiang Chen felt slightly relieved.

As long as there is improvement, it will be worth all my hard practice for so many days.

"Jiang Chen, take your medicine."

"Here it comes." Jiang Chen walked to Lao Qian and drank the medicine in one gulp.

"Against progress?" Old Qian looked at him and asked.

The explosion in the air just now gave him a fright.

Jiang Chen wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I guess so, there is some progress."

"so good……"

Qian Duobao sighed, and after a while he came back to his senses and said:

"With your current Qi and blood, if you continue to drink the body-tempering prescription for a few days, you can almost consider the cultivation method."

"But the main problem now is that we are running out of money."

The cost of medicine and food supplements in the past half month has exceeded six hundred coins.

Qu Qingliang's savings had been used up, and Jiang Chen now had less than 300 coins left. Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"Well, don't be in a hurry, take your time. After all, you are still young." Lao Qian comforted.

……

"Where can I get the money?"

At this time, it was already noon.

Jiang Chen weighed the eleven cents he had begged on Yanzhi Street in the morning, and was thinking about how to make money.

"Why is it that other time travelers often have to pay dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver, but when it comes to me, it's so difficult to even get a few hundred coins."

Jiang Chen recalled the novels he had read in his previous life and couldn't help muttering to himself.

The cost of practicing martial arts is obviously very high. Right now, I have spent six hundred coins in half a month on body tempering.

By the time I officially start practicing martial arts, I'm afraid it will cost more money.

The money earned from begging is just a drop in the bucket.

We have to find some other way to make money.

Jiang Chen was pondering in his heart, and a figure gradually emerged in his mind.

Gao Wei.

This bastard is always occupying the road at the entrance of South Street with his men and collecting money all day long. He must be quite wealthy.

If we can get his money, we should be able to hold on for a while.

Moreover, now that his [Stun] has reached the second level, his physical fitness has also improved significantly.

As long as you don't face off against several armed men, there shouldn't be any big problems.

Think about it.

Jiang Chen put his thoughts aside, went to deposit money into the small treasury first, left four copper coins on him, and returned to South Street.

……

South Street Crossing.

At this time, Gao Wei and several other men were already occupying the road at the street corner, collecting fees from beggars passing by.

Jiang Chen walked over.

Gao Wei looked at him and said, "Boy, why do you come back so early these days?"

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing I can do, Master Gao. Old Qian, who lives with me, is sick. He's very sick. I have to go back to take care of him."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out three copper coins from his arms and handed them over.

"Master Gao, this is today's regular payment."

Gao Wei frowned and looked at the three cents, looking unhappy.

"If he's sick, then he's sick. Why do you care? What's the big deal if a beggar dies in South Street?"

"Tomorrow, you have to pay five cents. Do you hear me?"

Jiang Chen half bowed and smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes."

"Okay, go away." Gao Wei waved his hand.

Jiang Chen stepped past a few people and walked into South Street, his heart gradually becoming cold.

These bastards are so fucking greedy...

At this time.

I could hear the sound of Gao Wei and several others talking in low voices behind me.

"Master Gao, when are you going to send this kid away? The gangsters are asking for his return."

Who?
Jiang Chen was taken aback.

Are they talking about me?
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, walked quickly into the alley, half bent his body, and moved forward quietly.

The stealth skill brought by [Sap] comes into play.

He quickly went around to the back of a dilapidated house beside the few people and eavesdropped on the conversation between Gao Wei and others.

at this time.

Gao Wei glanced behind him and found that Jiang Chen had left.

He waved his hand:
"In two days, we will find an opportunity to kidnap him at night and send him to the black street."

"Five hundred coins for a beggar. Such easy money cannot be missed."

A man beside Gao Wei shook his head and said with emotion:
"I don't know what's wrong with those people in the black street. They actually want to buy beggars with money."

"Who cares? I'll make money."

"Try to test the waters with that kid in a couple of days. If we can really make some money, we'll tie up the other beggars as well."

……

Jiang Chen listened quietly at the back of the dilapidated house and gradually understood the truth of the matter.

There was a group of people in the black street who wanted to buy and sell the beggars who had no household registration in South Street, so they approached Gao Wei and other local bosses in South Street.

He planned to buy the person for five hundred coins per person.

Gao Wei and the others were tempted, but it was the first time for them to do such a thing, so they were not very confident.

So I decided to find someone who was easy to bully first to test the waters.

The one who was easy to bully was obviously the frail little beggar, Jiang Chen, who was only sixteen years old.

"Damn it, you really treat me like a lamb to be slaughtered!"

Jiang Chen's heart gradually became gloomy, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

I was considering whether to take action against you.

Now it seems,

I have no choice but to kill you.
