Cosmic Demon

Chapter 31 Datafication, Dragon Tendon Care

In the training room in the afternoon, the ceiling fan above my head was spinning weakly, making an old "squeaking" sound.

Qin Shi pushed the door open and strode in, silent. When he was about seven or eight meters away from Li Yuan and Xie Yucheng, he stomped his feet on the ground with great force, his body like a hard bow filled with strength.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up and a figure shot out like an arrow!
As the waist and abdominal muscles contracted suddenly, the arch of the foot and the front shin exerted force together, and Qin Shi kicked out fiercely.

"Brother Yuan, I'm sorry!"

Snapped!
This spinning kick was powerful and fast, like a whip, drawing a sharp arc and hitting the opponent directly!
There was no room or space for reaction, and Li Yuan's head tilted to one side as if hit by a heavy hammer!
The strong body weighing over a hundred pounds was thrown sideways and hit the wall behind like a human sandbag!

Bang!
Large chunks of white wall were shaken off!
With one kick, Qin Shi easily defeated Brother Yuan. It was as if he had eyes behind his head. He twisted his body and raised his hands, with his arms against his neck, just blocking Xie Yucheng's fierce punch.

He bent his knees slightly and lowered his shoulders to relieve some of the force, but his lower body remained very stable.

Immediately, the whole person was like a compressed spring, and he forcibly pushed away Xie Yucheng who was trying to chase him.

The overwhelming force defeated Xie Yucheng's attack, causing his center of gravity to shake, the middle door to open wide, revealing a flaw.

Swish!
Qin Shi strode forward, as if he was flashing and flying, like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

Almost in an instant, the slender hand that was very suitable for playing the piano was pressed on Xie Yucheng's face.

The five fingers are curled inward and tightened suddenly!
Lifting and pulling is like pulling up white radishes planted in the ground.

The tendons in his arms were shaking and making popping sounds, making the terrifying sound of a tough bowstring being pulled.

The growing heat flow suddenly became scalding hot, the blood seemed to boil, stimulating the skin and flesh, stretching the fascia, and suddenly pumping out a strong force!
Boom!
Xie Yucheng's feet left the ground, his entire body loosened, and he was lifted into the air like a chicken.

The next moment, the back of his head sank heavily into the cushion, as dull as a sack falling from a building more than ten stories high.

Those eyes were wide open, and the pupils were filled with bloodshot.

The ears, nostrils, and mouth quietly exuded a deep red color.

There was no sound in an instant!
"One against two and I still managed to finish the fight quickly! My progress is so rapid, I feel my vitality is getting stronger and stronger, it's filling every cell!"

From the time we entered the door to the time we started, it took no more than fifteen seconds.

Apart from Qin Shi, no one else could stand in the training room.

Fighting is fun!

He felt as refreshed as if he had just had an intense workout, as if he had drunk an ice drink in the middle of summer, and every pore of his body was relaxed.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Cheng, there is really no personal grudge involved, we are just practicing."

Qin Shi chuckled and followed Lao Liang to take tutoring classes. Li Yuan and Xie Yucheng, who had practiced for much longer than him, found it difficult for him to last more than half a minute as he was just learning how to fight.

Strength, speed, burst, and even reaction...it's almost an all-round crushing victory.

"As the saying goes, a small fortune is not a big fortune. I have made such an incredible progress, all thanks to my own hard work!
Next, I need a stronger opponent! I'll find Lao Liang to help me when I get a chance, and then use the battle backtracking to gain experience.

With my current physical condition, I shouldn't be crushed by a single punch...right?"

Qin Shi waved his hand, thoughts flashing through his mind.

The spiritual space is like a dormitory with the lights turned off, plunging into darkness in an instant.

……

……

[Intermediate Achievement-Deep Sleep (4/30)]

"Comfortable!"

The moment of waking up early every day makes Qin Shi extremely satisfied.

No matter how tired and exhausted he was that day, as long as he could lie down and fall asleep, when he opened his eyes and woke up, his energy bar would be completely restored.

"It's great to go out and grow, then go back to the city to replenish your status."

Qin Shi sat up energetically, put on his clothes, washed up, and received the information flow from the monument panel.

[Anchor point: Qin Dynasty]

【Growth stage: embryo】

[Progress: 0.009%]

[Monument number: Deep Sleep (Intermediate), Muscle Memory (Intermediate), Overgrowth (Primary)]

[Skills: Battle Replay, Inner Vision]

“The ten o’clock mark is really tough.”

Qin Shi spat out the mouthwash and hastily wiped his face with a towel.

At present, [Deep Sleep] is progressing steadily.

[Muscle Memory] has been upgraded to an intermediate achievement, and the completion conditions have been increased accordingly, so it is temporarily stagnant.

As for the "eating" and "foraging" required for [overgrowth], there is no clue. Synthetic meals, nutritional pastes, and even the protein and carbohydrates consumed in daily life seem to be unable to meet the requirements.

"You can't ask me to inject energy liquid or take supplements. I saw Zhou Ning a few days ago, and he said that Coach Luo from the Silver Horse Gym seemed to be selling the Nine Dragons Combination Package to his students..."

Qin Shi's eyes swept across the translucent black frame, and his thoughts diverged.

“The effect of the upgraded [Muscle Memory] is very useful, and the feedback is sufficient.”

He returned to the bedroom and stood in front of the dressing mirror.

Staring at myself carefully, I saw tiny lines of data lighting up one after another.

Old Martial Arts Training Level 1 (19/20)

Old Martial Arts Level 1 (17/20)

Flesh 9.6→9.7
Spirit 9.8 → 9.9
"If the values ​​of the body and spirit are, as I guessed, a combination of vitality, then I am very close to the ten-point mark for entering the dan level."

This ability to completely digitize what one has learned and one's own body also comes from the achievement of unlocking the monument.

Intermediate Achievement - Muscle Memory (2%)

[Muscle memory: Strength needs to be watered with sweat. As long as you don’t die from training, train to death. Willpower will lead you out of the siege! ]

【Features: Every improvement in your ability will give you accurate feedback in the form of data.】

[Advanced route: higher intensity exercise, more self-disciplined life, richer nutrition, perseverance in these three, sculpting a perfect body, and can be upgraded again. ]

"The road ahead is endless. So are the gains and improvements I can make!"

Qin Shi smiled, and the boy next door in the mirror, whose frail temperament was becoming less and less, also smiled brightly.

"The universe is so vast, we should go and see it."

……

……

"Your vitality is completely stimulated."

In the empty training room, Lao Liang looked at his apprentice with satisfaction.

"Whether it's the old martial arts or the new martial arts, the way to develop vitality is basically the same. They all squeeze your physical strength, force your spirit, and tap into the potential of your flesh, ultimately allowing your mortal body to break free from mediocrity and transform upward.

Just like a pile of firewood, once it is burned, it will grow stronger and stronger.”

Qin Shi raised a question that spoiled the mood:

"What if it burns out?"

Lao Liang gave the boy a sidelong glance and said so much.

"Of course I add more firewood. How long can a fire last without adding firewood? Where do you think the seven limits of the physical body come from?

This is a path that was figured out by generations of martial artists who burned their bones and blood dry, and burned their skin and flesh, but still refused to give in and accept their fate. "

At this point, Lao Liang looked solemn, and then added:

"Many people practice old martial arts and call it 'burning fire' for this reason.

When you are young, you have a lot of energy and firepower. As long as you work harder, you can easily boost your vitality.

We call this the 'newbie benefit period.'"

It’s similar to the fishermen who have just started fishing, who often get a lot of damage for no apparent reason?
Qin Shi rubbed his hands, looking expectant:

"Master Liang, please tell me more about 'work harder'. Are you keeping some secret medicine for the human body, waiting to give it to me, your disciple?"

Lao Liang automatically ignored his disciple's incompetence. If he had some deep foundation, he would not have lost the two words "Hong Sheng".

"This is the only golden essence left from Lao Gu. Two bottles would have been enough, but you are a tough guy with a tough body. You endured the pain of burning tendons without saying a word.

I thought, I need to add some more fire to burn the tendons in my body and break through this major barrier."

Qin Shi lowered his head, looked at the glass bottle wrapped in silk cloth, and opened his mouth:

"Master Liang, this thing is not cheap..."

He remembered the man in pajamas who sold the magic oil, asking four thousand per bottle.

Lao Liang's salary is only a little over three thousand at most.

"We are a master and an apprentice, so what's the point of talking about money? If you were a student in the cram school, you wouldn't expect to get less money. But since you call me master and are learning the Hongsheng tradition, your goals in the future will be different."

Lao Liang waved his hand, touched the lame leg and said with emotion:
“Being a master is similar to being a parent. All you want is for your apprentice to succeed.

I'm a loser and have ended up like this. I feel sorry for my master. You must have been better than me when you were young.

Come on, burn out the twelve tendons, and you can raise a dragon in your mortal body!"
