Chapter 71 Medium Strength
When Zhou You returned to the outer courtyard of the martial arts hall, it was already past dinner time.

I saw many new faces in the outer courtyard. They turned out to be the new apprentices who had paid to learn boxing during this period.

With the market in turmoil and the influx of refugees, the city's various neighborhoods are no longer peaceful.

The government has limited power and adopts the strategy of arresting the big thieves and letting the small ones go. It has no time to deal with petty thefts, causing unbearable harassment to the residents.

As a result, in order to protect themselves, the common people had no choice but to grit their teeth and send their children to learn boxing in the academy.

The purpose of these apprentices is simple, they just need to learn one or two boxing techniques and be able to protect themselves.

As there are too many people, Senior Brother Lu Qiang is unable to take care of them all, and recently the inner courtyard is discussing changing the teaching method.

"Have you heard of the street duel this afternoon?"

"Which one is it between the Wild Fox Gang and the Mourning Dog Gang? Everyone is saying that someone died."

"One side was Rock Fist, the other side was Mastiff Fist, and in the end Rock Fist won."

"Back then, I wanted to learn the Rock Fist, but I heard that the Rock Fist was mainly for defense and could not compare to the powerful attacking Tiger Subduing Fist, so I chose it..."

"The characteristic of Mastiff Fist is to grab and hold. Once the bone joints are locked, it will be like a vicious dog biting flesh and will not let go until the enemy is beaten to death.

I heard that there was once a man who was learning Mastiff boxing and was beaten to death in the ring. His body was still hanging on his opponent and couldn't be removed. "

"Hey, this is perfect. The most important thing about the Rock Fist is defense. If we don't let him get close to us, it will naturally not be able to exert its power."

"In boxing, one thing can defeat another."

"Not necessarily. There is no difference between high and low punches, but people are strong and weak. The key lies in the person who practices...

A few unfamiliar apprentices were walking and chatting, and passed Zhou You head-on.

One of the apprentices saw this and hurriedly pulled his companion, "It's my senior brother, the senior brother who officially joined the sect."

Several freshmen stopped and saluted Zhou You respectfully, and only straightened their backs after he left.

They looked at Zhou You's back with envy in their eyes. His level of strength was something that was out of reach for all the freshmen.

Once they develop strong strength, their future will change dramatically.

"Squeak!"

When Zhou You stepped into the martial arts training ground, he suddenly smelled a burnt aroma as if someone was roasting something.

When I got closer, I saw Li Hao hiding on a pile of rubble, with a pile of charcoal lit in front of him and barbecuing in the open air.

"I'm sorry, I haven't had time to restore the scene yet."

Zhou You touched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed as he had been too busy lately.

"Never mind that. I just bought some fresh deer liver. There's too much for one person to eat. Come and try some."

Li Hao used local materials and spread a few pieces of bright red deer liver on the stone slab. The stove used for roasting was also made of gravel.

The stone slab was burned red and sprinkled with a few drops of fragrant oil, making it very smooth.

The cut pieces of deer liver were placed on the stone slab. They changed color and shrank in the blink of an eye, emitting a strong and unique aroma of fat.

"Eat it while it's hot, it's good stuff!"

Li Hao handed him a pair of chopsticks, which looked like branches picked from the flower bed.

Zhou You picked up a piece of deer liver, bit it in his mouth, and boiling hot oil splashed out, burning his forehead and making sweat slightly.

The deer liver is indeed delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, melting in your mouth.

It just has a strong smell of internal organs!

He smacked his lips and raised his hand, "Wait a minute."

He took out two oil paper bags from his arms, one containing tea and the other containing spices.

I was working with my dad just now and stole two bags of daily necessities from the caravan.

"Go find a pot to brew the tea."

Zhou You handed the tea bag to Li Hao, then pinched a handful of spices, crushed them into powder, and sprinkled them carefully on the deer liver.

The heat stimulates the aroma of spices, which instantly explodes and hits your nose.

The flavors are almost right, I took a piece to try, it tastes good.

A moment later, the two of them were eating roasted deer liver and drinking steaming tea.

The night sky overhead covered Gongliang City, and the sounds of boxing practitioners' collisions and shouts could be faintly heard from other courtyards of the martial arts hall.

"I was wrong about the stone wall. I'll find someone to fix it in a few days."

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Zhou You made a promise.

"I'm not in a hurry to use it!"

Li Hao waved his hand, but suddenly his arm trembled and he quickly retracted it. Zhou You noticed this small movement and guessed that he was injured and his behavior was very different from usual.

He knew that this boxing partner was hiding a secret and was practicing a very powerful skill.

The eighth martial arts training ground is separated by a stone wall, which not only protects Zhou You’s secrets, but also Li Hao’s.

Hearing that he didn't care about the collapsed stone wall and seemed to be injured, Zhou You guessed that something must have happened.

The next day, Li Hao did not come to the martial arts training ground.

Zhou You had the martial arts training ground to himself, so it didn't matter whether there was a stone wall separating them.

Four jars of tiger bone wine were placed in front of him, lined up on the ground.

"Talent hunger, activated."

Zhou You opened his mouth and took a sip. Four wine jars as big as his fist were emptied on the spot, without a drop of wine leaking into his stomach.

A reminder sounded in my ears:
"Fail once, fail twice, succeed three times, succeed four times."

"According to this comprehensive evaluation, the drug absorption efficiency is 75%."

"Strength +8, Speed ​​+6, Defense +8."

Well, the second time I took tiger bone wine, drug resistance did appear.

The absorption efficiency of the talent hunger has decreased, and it is far from being as perfect as the first 100%.

“Name: Zhou You.

Strength: 46.

Speed: 44.

Defense: 46.

Experience value: 524.

Occupation: Boxing apprentice.

Level: Beginner's level of strength.

技能：御伐手lv10（已圆满）、伏虎拳lv13，基础轻功lv2/l？，雁行拳lv11s绝招：追风三叠技lv1、虎煞lv1。

Trial Project One (Two Star): Break through the Qi and Blood barrier and become an inner courtyard disciple of Jianxiong Martial Arts School.

Trial Project Two (Four-star): Improve basic Qinggong skills.

Trial Project Three (Two Star): Master the Skills of Tiger Evil Attachment. "

Zhou You spent another 10 experience points to increase his speed to 45.

Next is...

"Experience value -130, Subduing Tiger Fist Iv13→lv14."

"Experience value -140, Subduing Tiger Fist lv14→lv15."

"Experience value -150, Subduing Tiger Fist Iv15→lv16."

"The remaining experience points are 104, which is not enough for the next upgrade."

"Upgrade your boxing skills, and your strength will increase from beginner strength to intermediate strength."

In the blink of an eye, the bones and meridians throughout the body were strengthened, becoming denser and tougher. The strength in the body became stronger, and many changes and characteristics emerged.

"Boom!"

Zhou You made his right hand into a claw shape, picked up a large piece of stone and easily crushed it into stone powder.

One hand has five fingers, and the strength of each finger can be switched into different modes, drilling, tearing, twisting...

Compared to when he first entered the body, the strength in his body is now more powerful and the changes are more flexible.

It can even attach to nails, making them sharper and harder than steel knives.

Sure enough, as his boxing skills improved, the power of his strength became more powerful.

Zhou You stretched his waist, and his skin, stretched by the strength, felt like it was covered with a piece of cowhide, and a tough feeling spread all over his body.

Originally, the knife could pierce his skin, but now, ordinary people holding sharp blades cannot pierce his skin no matter how hard they try.

When the strength is increased to the intermediate level, not only the attack but also the defense will change.

Only strength can break through the defense of strength.
