I can't be a demon.

Chapter 17: Innate Horizontal Training Holy Body
Shen Lian walked on the street, and Xicheng District still seemed sparsely populated.

There were more yamen runners than passers-by.

As Shen Lian walked, his strength circulated autonomously throughout his skin. The progress of his skin refining was advancing all the time, and his energy and blood were overflowing.

The reason why he was in a hurry to go to Tide Martial Arts School was also because the skin refining was going too smoothly.

In another day or two, I'm afraid I will have to break through the bottleneck.

Shen Lian was really afraid of scaring Bai Haibo.

How can a martial artist who has just started skin refining reach the stage of flesh refining in less than ten days? He has been tirelessly honing his strength.

Shen Lian had not walked far when a mynah bird flew out of the pawn shop window and landed on his shoulder.

"Ah~"

The starling tried to crawl into Shen Lian's sleeve, but it was getting fatter and fatter, and was already bigger than a crow, even though it was unwilling to admit it.

"Silly bird."

Shen Lian seemed a little helpless.

As Jiu'er Chaofeng accumulated experience, he always felt that the mynah bird's intelligence was improving, but the focus was on its sharp tongue.

"Ah~ Kind people are often bullied, and kind horses are often ridden. Fortunately, I am the one riding you."

Shen Lian reached out and grabbed the starling by the neck, throwing it into the air.

The mynah bird screamed in pain and dared not get close to Shen Lian again.

Shen Lian secretly felt lucky. The warrior was binding a dead object. It was hard to imagine how much trouble it would cause if a gossipy bird came along.

He passed by the morning market in Xicheng District and glanced around.

The traces of the fight have disappeared, but from the new and old tiles and the remaining bloodstains, one can tell how brutal the encirclement and suppression of Zhu Sanhang was.

Even after the incident, the gang would not dare to bring bad luck to the government.

At least Fulin will be slow to collect the pawnshop's monthly payment this month.

"Zhu Sanxing is not some monster. Since he has attracted the attention of the government, his strength must be far beyond the scope of warriors."

Shen Lian has been exposed to martial arts for some time, but martial artists simply cannot reach the inhuman level. Bai Haibo also mentioned that the upper limit of external skills is not high.

Eighty percent of the difference lies in internal strength.

"If I have the chance, I really have to try out the mysteries of my inner strength."

Shen Lian arrived at the door of the martial arts hall. The other disciples had already gone home to celebrate the New Year, leaving only the Bai father and son, making the hall seem quite deserted.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Bai Haibo watching Bai Jinbao standing in a stance.

As Bai Jinbao had a weak constitution, he was sweating profusely in a short while.

"Who?"

"Master Bai."

When Bai Haibo saw Shen Lian, he couldn't help but nod.

After the corpse stripping case was over, he asked Guo Saner to go to the pawn shop, knowing that Shen Lian returned home safely that day.

"My disciple, don't walk at night next time. There are always bad guys in Yanliang Town..."

"kindness?"

Bai Haibo discovered that something was wrong with Shen Lian.

After such a short period of time, Shen Lian has completely changed. It is hard to imagine that he had just mastered the Zhulang Posture a few days ago.

There is not a speck of fat on his body, and his every move and gesture has the aura of a martial arts master.

"you……"

Bai Haibo was speechless.

He had only seen it in old warriors who had practiced the Zhulang Posture for decades. It seemed that Shen Lian had mastered the Zhulang Posture since birth, otherwise it would be unimaginable.

The mynah bird said slyly: "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach~"

"Haha, yes."

Bai Haibo stopped Bai Jinbao from standing still and asked him to go to the side room to rest for a while.

He looked at Shen Lian carefully and noticed that the latter had completed most of the foundation building and skin refining, and his strength revealed some vigorous vitality.

If nothing unexpected happens, promotion to leather refining is a foregone conclusion.

"Shen Lian, sit down, sit down."

Bai Haibo was excited, but also felt an indescribable grief. To ordinary people, the corpse stripping case might be just a crackdown by the government on criminals, but in fact, the so-called criminals were demons!

I heard that the government office dispatched dozens of warriors, hundreds of martial arts disciples, and the Jinwu Guards to take charge.

As a result, nearly seventy people were seriously injured and twelve died.

In order to suppress the resentment of the ghosts, even all the black dogs in the surrounding area were killed, and countless amounts of cinnabar and yellow paper were consumed.

Although the demons were dealt with successfully, there are still so many demons and monsters in the world that cannot be killed.

Warriors...are just consumables.

The saddest thing is that most warriors are not even consumables. They are just delicious blood food for demons and resources for cultivation.

Demons and ghosts can continuously improve their spiritual power by devouring the blood of mortals.

"Master Bai, why do you want Jinbao to learn martial arts?"

"Hey, I can't take care of him for his whole life. Even if he doesn't want to become a warrior, it's good enough for him to live safely past fifty."

The two chatted over tea.

Shen Lian asked Bai Haibo indirectly about the issue of practicing both martial arts and thought that Bai Haibo would worry about biting off more than he could chew, but he took the initiative to ask.

"Indeed, with your talent, Shen Lian, it would be best for you to practice a hard Qigong that can be practiced horizontally, so that your body will not have any flaws."

Bai Haibo didn't finish his words.

The horizontal training technique is useless against demons, but if Shen Lian really encounters a demon, at least he can die a little later than others.

"Horizontal training? I think there are very few martial arts schools in Yanliang Town that offer horizontal training."

"Disciple, you don't know."

Bai Haibo started searching in the inner room while explaining to Shen Lian.

"Horizontal training is similar to fighting, and is also a martial art that uses strength. However, horizontal training uses strength to protect the body. Once it is performed, the strength will not be exhausted, and swords and knives will have difficulty injuring the skin and flesh."

"Unfortunately, the disadvantages of horizontal training are too great."

Bai Haibo took out an old and tattered book.

The words "Iron Shirt" were written on the cover of the book. The paper was yellowed, stained with mildew, and there were teeth marks on the edges from rodents.

Shen Lian's interest increased greatly, and practicing horizontal hard Qigong was something he had been considering.

Bai Haibo handed the secret book to Shen Lian and continued, "No matter what kind of horizontal training you do, you need external force to continuously strike your body so that the strength can be tempered in specific acupoints, and then you can use medicinal soup to recover from the injury until you master the horizontal training."

Shen Lian's brows relaxed, "Is it easy to damage one's foundation if one practices horizontal training?"

"It's more than just self-harm."

Bai Haibo smiled bitterly, "Those martial artists who learn horizontal training rarely live past fifty, and they suffer a lot in their later years."

Even if you take powerful medicine, there is no guarantee that you will not suffer any hidden harm.

"I have been thinking about this recently. Shen Lian, you are very suitable for horizontal training."

"I?"

Bai Haibo filled the tea cup for Shen Lian.

"Shen Lian, your stomach is extraordinary. You are born with a special constitution that can digest more than 80% of the medicinal power of the medicinal food."

"As long as the medicinal diet continues, the impact of hidden injuries will be minimized."

Shen Lian chuckled.

Food supplement has already reached 78%. Once a warrior is promoted, that is the real [Food Supplement for Heaven]!
Bai Haibo licked his lips and couldn't help muttering, "Horizontal training has another benefit."

"If you can endure the hardship and take the medicine, the practice of horizontal training will be smooth sailing!"

Shen Lian's pupils shrank slightly.

There are obvious advantages and disadvantages in the profession panel. The advantage is that you can spend points to forcibly improve your martial arts, but the disadvantage is more fatal because the points are too precious.

It takes 18 points to master the Wave Chasing Posture from beginning to end.

Normally speaking, unless Shen Lian had the opportunity to make rice cakes a few more times, he would only be able to combine the pile method once or twice at best.

If horizontal training can really achieve success quickly.

What does it mean?
As long as the points consumed in the synthesis are not too many, Shen Lian can practice horizontal training on his own and combine a large number of perfect horizontal training into a magical skill.

From this perspective, can I be considered as a person who has attained the innate holy body? ! !
