Chapter 245: Return of the Martial Master
After handing over the affairs of the town, Zhou You immediately withdrew without any delay.

His cheap elder brother Zhang Huaimin was also very kind. In exchange, he secretly told him the secrets of a mid-level martial artist.

From a Qi and Blood Warrior to a Martial Master, the constant theme is... body training.

Only when one has cultivated the body to the highest level can one gather the ultimate strength and break through the shackles of powerful martial arts in one fell swoop.

Zhou You had seen the abilities of junior martial artists, who had trained themselves to have bodies of steel and physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people.

Many martial artists are nicknamed Bronze Statue, Iron Man, Stone General, etc., because their physical defense is so strong.

This is the case for a beginner martial artist, but what if you break through to become an intermediate martial artist?

Extremely hard and yet soft!

The secret of these four words is conservatively estimated to be worth more than 10 taels.

Zhang Huaimin told Zhou You that it was insufficient for a junior martial artist to simply seek strength and ferocity. Only by understanding the principle of extreme strength and softness and making further progress could he make another breakthrough.

He was also an old man who was not well-behaved. He winked at Zhou You and hinted that the reason he was still as sharp as ever and could make those fawning prostitutes obey him was because his body was flexible and could be used to control any hard or soft conditions.

Pooh!
It's too indecent. He uses his good martial arts body for this.

Zhou You was amazed at the martial artist's subtle control over the body and yearned for that realm even more.

If a junior martial artist is like tempered steel, then an intermediate martial artist is as soft as silk. If we go a step further and combine both hardness and softness, then we can break through to become a senior martial artist.

Zhou You could even imagine that once he broke through to that realm, his body joints would be able to shrink in length and change in hardness and softness at will, and his boxing skills would become even more varied and powerful.

……

When Zhou You left the town, he was empty-handed and took away only the dying Cheng Xiaohe.

Many people were surprised that he was so alone.

Logically speaking, he had been in the town for several months and had plundered a considerable amount of money and supplies, so how could he be so poor?

The townspeople watched him leave, saying nothing but feeling complicated.

basement……

Zhang Huaimin and Sun Ziyang were looking at the empty ground when a black shadow flashed by. It was a rat.

"Master, this poison goose is very skilled. It emptied the treasury quietly and didn't leave you anything."

Sun Ziyang was amazed. To be able to do this, Lu Zhigang must have a private force and was definitely not a lone man as outsiders imagined.

He became increasingly confused about this cheap 'uncle'.

Zhang Huaimin stretched lazily and said, "Can the person your master likes be just an ordinary person?"

"Zi Yang, I leave this to you. Don't forget to send the money to the capital every month."

He had no plan to stay in the town. The capital city was better, with top-notch food and amenities.

"Disciple obey!"

On the river beach...

Zhou You threw Cheng Xiaohe down and stomped on his throat, causing him to die on the spot.

"Trial Mission (four-star): Completed the killing of Jin Heshan (including his disciples), experience value +6000."

The comprehensive experience value number jumped, and in the blink of an eye, it met the expected requirements.

Zhou You took a deep breath and said, "It's done. The experience points of the Five Fortunes Palm and Fist Record are enough to break through to become a martial artist."

Without hesitation, he pointed his finger at the panel.

"Experience value -20800, Five Blessings Palm Fist Record lv9→lv10."

Trial Project Three (Three Stars): Refining a Pill to Attack the Heart of All Poisons."

I finally became a martial artist, although I am a blank slate with nothing (no skills, no boxing moves, no special abilities).

Zhou You felt the transformation in his body. The total amount of qi and blood, which was originally like a huge reservoir, was suddenly pushed up to an unprecedented level as if an underground undercurrent was opened.

Boom! An explosive wave of energy and blood surged, penetrating into every part of his body with an almost brutal attitude.

Zhou You felt the skin, nails, hair, etc., flashing with the fluorescence of the essence leaking out. The muscles, blood, bones, and even the internal organs that were invisible to the naked eye were rapidly strengthening and improving.

Even the most fragile intestines and livers become as tough as rubber after entering the realm of martial artists. Even swallowing razor blades and broken porcelain cannot damage them at all, and they can be crushed to pieces just by wriggling.

The nails are as sharp as knives, the hair is as tough as steel wire, and the bone marrow wriggling inside the bones is as heavy as mercury.

"This is the martial artist, how powerful is he?"

Zhou You realized the strength of the body at the martial artist level, and increasingly realized the strength of the suppression of that realm.

He picked up a pebble, which was smooth and hard. If he threw it with great force, it could break the hard skull.

"Crench!"

Zhou You crushed the pebbles in a few bites, and his teeth felt like they were eating shortbread.

The gravel was swallowed down the throat and slid into the stomach. The sharp tip could not even scratch the fragile internal organs.

Zhou You's chest and abdomen rose and fell, and he squirmed a few times, compressing all the gravel into a ball and spitting it out of his mouth intact.

As for swallowing fire, swallowing blades, etc., it is a piece of cake.

Why are there no street performers in this world? Because these tricks cannot be hidden from anyone with discerning eyes.

He estimated that the poison of the Seven-Step Poisonous Sand Palm would not cause much damage to the internal organs unless the viper venom penetrated into it.

This is just a blank slate martial artist. Apart from his strong physical body, his other potentials have yet to be tapped.

If you practice other techniques and boxing skills, isn’t it the same?
Zhou You suppressed his excitement. In order to complete his plan as a blank martial artist, he had already squeezed out the practice of other boxing skills.

Now that the goal has been achieved, the next step is to slow down and try to improve the Qi, blood and boxing skills of the main body and Lu Zhigang.

It is still necessary to advance to the later stage of Qi and Blood as soon as possible before you can formally practice the Qi and Blood magic weapon.

The tiger-head hammer taught by Wang Lao Hu, combined with the martial artist's skull, will unleash terrifying power.

With Zhou You's overall strength, the weapons driven by the latter stage of his Qi and blood are enough to fight against junior martial artists in a one-on-one fight. If he plans properly, he can even kill a higher-level martial artist.

By then, even if troubled times come, he will have the power to protect his family.

"Ok?"

The mission completion projection function has been cancelled.

Zhou You looked in the direction of Gongliang City, and the next moment his figure gradually faded away, like handwriting erased by an eraser.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou You's real body returned to Gongliang City.
