I can't be a demon.

Chapter 25: Mental Consumption is Not Necessary
[Whether to promote to the professional sharp-toothed warrior]

"A sharp-toothed warrior? That's fine in a sense."

"By eating a lot, I can gain experience. The nutrients I digest can replenish my martial arts skills. Hehe, my appetite will definitely get better and better in the future."

Thinking of this, Shen Lian glanced at the starling with disdain.

Life and career are really unreliable, and all the benefits of career advancement are on the starling. The problem is that the latter does not show any magical powers.

"Ah~ ungrateful bastard~"

"All you do is eat and no work, Big Brother, you should reflect on this more."

Shen Lian fended off the starling, secretly confirming his advancement in his warrior profession, and then the bone blade emitted warmth, and it was obvious that the root had benefited greatly from it.

[Warrior promoted to Sharptooth Warrior, martial arts points +10]

"Ah~"

The starling tilted his head to look at the bone blade, a dark light flashed across his pupils, secretly witnessing the birth of the second thousand-year-old demon.

Shen Lian looked at the bone blade carefully, very curious about how it would change.

"It can be turned into a short weapon, but the material of bone jade is really strange. I don't think there will be any warriors fighting with bones in their hands, right?"

Shen Lian estimated that the transformation of the bone blade would not happen overnight, and would take at least half a month. Myna also went through a period of growth.

"Forget it. If there's any damage, it won't be worth it."

Shen Lian sighed and decided to just practice his Turtle Fist honestly.

He called out the career panel.

【Shen Lian】

[Realm: Foundation Building (Flesh Refining)]

[Martial Arts: Chasing Waves (perfect), Tide-Striking Fist (minor success), Iron Shirt (minor success), Iron Arm Skill (minor success)]

【Points: 22】

[Second-level occupation: Nine-eared Chaofeng (14.32%)]

[Second-level occupation: Sharp-toothed Warrior (0.01%)]

Shen Lian stared at the column for the Sharp-Tooth Warrior, and soon the food supplements after the promotion came into view.

【Giant stomach food supplement: effectively increase the digestive power of the stomach and intestines, and effectively increase the capacity of the stomach and intestines. 】

The introduction of the supernatural powers is as plain and simple as the profession panel, and only Shen Lian can personally feel his own subtle differences.

"Giant stomach supplements are far less simple than what is described on the job board."

Shen Lian swallowed the remaining pickled fish into his stomach. Almost as soon as it reached his stomach, the pickled fish was crushed into nutrients by the giant stomach.

The utilization rate of food is over 90%.

"not only that."

Shen Lian had a strange expression on his face and stood up and walked towards the courtyard.

He saw an abandoned wooden frame in the corner that was ready to be replaced with a new one. He broke it with force, and with a snap, the corner of the wooden frame fell into his hand.

Click click click.

Shen Lian stuffed the piece of wood directly into his mouth and chewed it, and the hard wood turned into crumbs.

It was obvious that the third stage of martial arts foundation building was "bone training", but because of the huge stomach food supplement, his teeth became abnormally strong.

Shen Lian swallowed the sawdust, and weak nutrients grew from it.

"hiss……"

Shen Lian took a breath of cold air.

Then there were the fallen branches of the banyan tree, a few peanut-sized stones, half a piece of slightly toxic insect repellent jujube leaf, and torn pages from the secret book.

Shen Lian's stomach accepted it all, which shows the subtle effect of giant stomach food supplements: just being able to eat is not enough, you have to know how to eat.

Of course, the giant stomach food supplement is far from the point of swallowing everything.

When faced with poisons, we can only reduce the toxicity. The digestion rate of stones is also very slow, but soil and wood can indeed be transformed into nutrients.

"Lying down is fine, but eating dirt and living is not my life goal."

Shen Lian then discovered that the nutrients provided by the sundries were very limited and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that eating dirt would be more effective than medicinal food.

"With the giant stomach food supplement, it won't be difficult to reach perfection in horizontal training in a short period of time."

Shen Lian no longer has to worry about damaging his foundation due to horizontal training, as the giant stomach food will continuously deliver nutrients to his blood, flesh and bones.

He returned to the courtyard and gulped down four pots of Codonopsis pilosula and black chicken soup in one breath.

Nutrients surged out. Shen Lian said to the two Dang Dings, "You should cooperate with me to polish your body. Don't hold back. Even if you get hurt, it's not your fault."

"Young Master, you..."

"Come."

When Ding looked at each other, he hit Shen Lian's back with the wooden stick. His skin suddenly became red and swollen, and blood seeped out of his pores.

"Almost. Keep going!"

Shen Lian showed a look of delight, his innate holy body was so terrifying.

Without the need for guidance from the Zhulang Force, nutrients will begin to repair hidden injuries in the body, while greatly improving the efficiency of tempering the acupoints.

Bang bang bang.

As Ding's cooperation became more and more tacit, there was almost no gap between the falling sticks.

Shen Lian closed his eyes and rested leisurely, which made Dang Ding suspect that the young master had fainted, until he heard snoring.

It's not martial arts at all, it's clearly a massage to clear the meridians.

Shen Lian did not call for a stop, and the two Dangding soldiers persisted for more than half an hour. The recoil from the wooden stick made their knuckles painful.

You know, they had been outer disciples in a martial arts school for several years. Even if they had not learned the stance techniques, their strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Shen Lian felt that the iron shirt was getting better and better, and the acupoints no longer rejected the strength.

boom.

The iron shirt was suddenly used.

Dang Ding couldn't help but groan as the stick seemed to hit the rock wall.

The two men took several steps back, and the wooden sticks broke with a sound. They could not hide their surprise and doubt in their eyes. They always felt that the martial arts practiced by the young master were not simple.

Shen Lian stretched, and the lines of his back muscles were clearly visible.

【Iron Shirt (Great)】

Relying on the opportunity brought by the giant stomach food supplement, Iron Shirt not only successfully advanced to great success, but was even not far from perfection.

Dang Ding looked at each other in bewilderment.

Who would have thought that the young master had only started learning martial arts a few months ago.

"I will teach you the first few moves of a palm technique later. Even if you don't have the strength, you can still exert 20% to 30% of its power."

"Thank you, Young Master."

Ding was overjoyed, and the pain in his palms seemed to disappear.

Shen Lian tried to use the Iron Shirt, but realized that the effect of the wooden stick's heavy blow had been greatly reduced. He subconsciously glanced at the several stone hammers on the wall.

The stone hammer is what Dang Ding uses to build up his strength on a daily basis, a crude way to hone his body.

"Well, why not replace the wooden stick with a stone hammer..."

"Ah~"

When the mynah bird saw that Shen Lian was preparing to torture it in disguise, it chirped excitedly. The silly bird's hobby now was to watch martial arts practice in the corner.

"and many more."

Shen Lian suddenly shuddered and quickly suppressed the urge to act.

"When did I become a martial arts fanatic?"

"Only those with a mental disorder would pursue the ultimate horizontal training. How comfortable it is to practice martial arts while basking in the sun. I almost got hurt swinging a stone hammer myself."

Shen Lian swallowed his saliva and asked Dang Ding to go back to the house to rest and practice martial arts again tomorrow morning.

the following few days.

Shen Lian practiced martial arts in an orderly manner. His Iron Arm Technique was promoted to high perfection soon after his Iron Shirt Technique. If nothing unexpected happened, half a month would be enough to complete it.

He thought that nothing would happen before the New Year.

As a result, fifteen days before New Year's Eve, there was a sudden commotion at the street corner. A large number of yamen runners were arresting gang members from various districts.

According to the notice posted by the government office.

Some gangs were suspected of violating regulations and were imprisoned by government offices.

The pressure brought by the soul-calling case forced the Jinwu Guards to make an example of someone to scare the monkeys, so as to avoid civil unrest in Yanliang Town during the New Year and allow them to concentrate on dealing with demons.

At the same time, the target gang chosen by the Jinwu Guards seemed to have some considerations.

There were even yamen runners who called the actions of the Jinwu Guards "exorcising demons."
