Fanatic!

Chapter 87 Muscles and Bones Resonate
Zhou Qing was originally an unremarkable old man, looking like he was in his 50s or 60s, with jet-black hair, smooth skin, and a height of only about 1.75 meters.

However, at this moment, his height suddenly swelled to more than two meters, like a little giant, with his muscles bulging high.

His appearance also became younger, looking like he was only in his 30s, and even his face had completely changed, like an angry Vajra.

Chen Wujun felt an overwhelming pressure coming at him, and he was even more astonished.

Zhou Qing clapped his hands together, producing a sound like striking iron.

Looking down at Chen Wujun, he said in a deep voice, "This is the effect of mobilizing the body's qi and blood after mastering the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover."

"Even if you cut with a knife or spear, it will only leave a white mark."

As he spoke, Zhou Qing's body gradually returned to normal.

"Place your hand on mine, and I'll let you feel it."

Chen Wujun placed his hand on the back of Zhou Qing's hand and felt that Zhou Qing's hand was extremely smooth, without even a hair.

As for his own hearing, he couldn't hear anything at all.

All one could feel was Zhou Qing's powerful heartbeat, like the sound of drums, and the sound of blood flowing like the pounding of a river; the sound was incredibly powerful.

This is hardly an old man... I'm afraid even Harris wouldn't be able to withstand one punch from Zhou Qing before he'd be turned into a pancake.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, as if a whirlwind had swept away the clouds.

Then Chen Wujun heard a rumbling sound, like thunder rolling in the sky.

"What's that sound?" Chen Wujun was surprised. He could feel Zhou Qing's muscles and joints trembling rhythmically, and Zhou Qing's blood was becoming increasingly abundant. Before, his blood flowed like a river, but now it was like a great river constantly crashing against the shore.

The tremors in Zhou Qing's joints and muscles were even transmitted through his palms to Chen Wujun's body, causing his joints to tremble as well.

As blood was transported, Zhou Qing's entire body swelled up, and his skin tightened and hardened like a piece of steel.

Then a roar came from Zhou Qing's throat, making Chen Wujun's head buzz and his blood run cold.

It took Chen Wujun a long time to recover.

Zhou Qing stood to one side, and everything had returned to normal.

"understand?"

"I understand a little better..." Chen Wujun said after thinking for a moment.

The rumbling sound just now was the sound of Zhou Qing circulating his qi and blood, causing his muscles and bones to resonate.

Zhou Qing also made him feel this shock.

“My master once said that gathering qi in the dantian involves the diaphragm sinking and the abdominal muscles tightening, creating immense pressure in the abdominal cavity… The Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield technique works similarly; you inhale, the diaphragm rapidly presses down, vibrates, and moves all the joints and flesh of your body together…”

Chen Wujun suddenly thought of a description:
"It's somewhat like a hiccup..."

Upon hearing Chen Wujun's sudden and whimsical description, Zhou Qing immediately smiled.

Others only know the tiger's roar as majestic, but they don't know that the source of its power lies in such ordinary things.

"However, the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield needs to control this vibration in order to drive the whole body!" Chen Wujun continued to ponder as he spoke.

"Ask me if you don't understand anything!" Zhou Qing said with a smile, knowing that Chen Wujun had almost figured it out.

What is comprehension?
That's it.

As long as I show it to him once, he can understand the mystery through what he has learned in the past.

Then think of Li Yaozu who stayed at the martial arts school; it's a world of difference.

Of course, his expectations for each disciple were different.

He took Li Yaozu as his disciple because this disciple was honest and steady, and could pass on some of his skills.

It's about ensuring that certain skills don't break down from your own level.

"As for the recipe for the medicinal bath, you can get it from your senior brother later." Zhou Qing said and then left.

Now that Chen Wujun has figured it out, he no longer needs to stay here.

After Zhou Qing left, Chen Wujun kept trying to make his diaphragm vibrate like a drumhead by inhaling and pressing down on it.

In just two hours that afternoon, Chen Wujun felt his diaphragm and the muscles and bones throughout his body vibrate. Then he felt a pain in his chest and a bloody taste rose up from his throat.

Chen Wujun coughed, and looking at the blood that came out, he was somewhat surprised:

"This skill must be taught by someone hand in hand. Even if you know the principles, if you don't practice it properly, your internal organs will be damaged, and you will suffer from various injuries."

"Internal organs are much more fragile than other parts of the body."

"No wonder Master didn't teach me last time... It's best to practice this skill after cultivating Qi."

"After refining Qi, I can activate and control the microcurrents in my body to stimulate my internal organs to become stronger, so I am not afraid of getting injured. But even though I have now mastered the upper level of body tempering, my internal organs are still not much stronger than those of an ordinary person."

Chen Wujun immediately understood.

"Fortunately, I was able to feel the vibration from my master, and it will only take some time to figure it out."

“My master said before that I need to practice when I am being hit and when I am taking a medicinal bath. This medicinal bath probably not only strengthens my bones and muscles, but may also have the effect of warming and restoring my internal organs.”

"They should practice in a medicinal bath first, and then practice with external force once they are familiar with it."

After figuring it out, Chen Wujun stopped forcing himself to practice and instead stood in a stance for a while. He quickly realized that his internal organs were damaged and that continuing to practice Tiger Descending the Mountain would worsen his injuries.

So he simply put on his clothes and went to the martial arts school to get the prescription from his senior brother.

When I arrived at the martial arts school, I pushed open the door and saw Shufen sitting in the corner with a book in her hand and a pen in her mouth.

When Shufen saw Chen Wujun enter, she said obediently:
"Brother Jun."

She learned it from Afei and the others when Chen Wujun brought them here to practice listening to energy.

"Where's my senior brother?" Chen Wujun asked. "He left half an hour ago, he probably won't be back tonight," Shufen said.

"Okay, close the door." Chen Wujun nodded. Since his senior brother wasn't here, he would come again tomorrow.

It won't make a difference if we just do this tonight.

Back at A-Yue's place, she was watching TV with nothing to do when she saw Chen Wujun and was pleasantly surprised.

Why are you up so early today?

"I'll go buy you some clothes later," Chen Wujun said, looking at A Yue's cheap pajamas.

He felt he should buy Yue some clothes last time, otherwise she would always go out in cheap clothes and people would think he couldn't afford them.

Besides, his clothes are a bit too small, and the sleeves are too short; he should buy a few more outfits.

Upon hearing this, A-Yue's face lit up with anticipation, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Great!"

Then go to the closet to find your best dress.

Chen Wujun called Curry and asked him to arrange for his henchmen to pick him up.

A moment later, after the two went downstairs and left the walled city, they saw the henchman open the car door.

"Brother Jun, Sister Yue."

"Where to go?"

"Another City," Chen Wujun said after getting into the car. This was one of the best shopping malls in Guanfu District, he had heard about it from Sha Jiu.

"This car is so impressive!" Ah Yue looked like a country bumpkin after getting into the car, which was also much more spacious than other cars.

"Isn't it impressive!" Chen Wujun laughed heartily.

"Brother Jun, is that your car?"

"Or should we borrow it?" Chen Wujun smiled.

"How much does this car cost?" A-Yue asked curiously.

"You just need to know it's expensive." Chen Wujun didn't mention the price, but crossed his legs and looked at the pedestrians outside the car window with a hint of satisfaction.

I felt like I was finally acting like a big shot.

A moment later, Chen Wujun and A Yue went into a shopping mall to buy clothes, with Ma Zai following behind carrying their purchases.

Although Ah Yue's clothes were cheap and had a faint bandit-like feel, Chen Wujun's physique made anyone feel at ease and polite when speaking to him.

It took Chen Wujun two hours to buy several similar outfits for A Yue, costing nearly 10,000 yuan. On the contrary, it was difficult to find clothes for him.

He is 175 cm tall, but he has a thick back and long arms, so even a size 185 shirt looks small on him.

I wandered around for ages before finally buying a few pairs of pants and shirts, and also two casual suits, one blue plaid and one red...

Chen Wujun didn't really like red clothes, but A Yue thought this one suited him well, making him look young and energetic, spirited yet not frivolous.

I tried them on and they actually looked pretty good.

"Looks like I'll need to order custom-made clothes from now on," Chen Wujun muttered as he walked out.

A-Yue excitedly hugged Chen Wujun's arm, her face beaming with smiles.

Since she smuggled herself into the East Ninth District, she has been living in the Walled City and has hardly ever left. The farthest place she has been is the hot pot restaurant that Chen Wujun took her to.

This was the first time I had experienced the prosperity of Beigang.

After eating out and returning to their lodgings, A-Yue jumped happily onto Chen Wujun, giggling.

She is easily satisfied; the things she buys today, and the glitz and glamour she experiences, can make her happy for days.

……

"Senior brother, Master sent me to retrieve the prescription for the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Cover." The next day, Chen Wujun found Senior Brother Li.

"It's already prepared for you. Go to Anjitang to get it; their medicine is of better quality." Senior Brother Li took out a prescription folded twice from his pocket and gave it to Chen Wujun.

After Chen Wujun opened it, he saw at the top that it said to take a medicinal bath once every three days.

Then the first ingredient in the prescription is magnetic crystal.

After looking through all the medicinal herbs, Chen Wujun muttered, "No tiger bone? I thought there would be tiger bone. And this cinnamon, I remember it being a spice? And it has to be 50-year-old cinnamon?"

"The Tiger's Roar Golden Bell Shield relies entirely on a surge of powerful, masculine energy; cinnamon is the catalyst that ignites it. Without cinnamon, the formula's effectiveness is reduced by 30%," Senior Brother Li casually remarked.

"Be careful, if you feel something is wrong, don't force yourself to practice," Senior Brother Li advised.

"This kind of kung fu, which uses sound vibrations to make the muscles and bones resonate, can damage yourself if not practiced properly."

"I understand." Chen Wujun nodded, turned to get the medicine, and then asked someone to buy a wooden tub for bathing.

……

That evening, Chen Wujun immersed himself in the medicinal bath, and soon felt a fiery heat squeezing into his body.

Knowing that this was the effect of the medicinal bath, Chen Wujun calmed his mind and prepared for a long time before inhaling and pressing down on his diaphragm, causing the diaphragm to vibrate and causing his muscles and bones to groan.

A buzzing sound emanated from his body, and the water in the wooden tub vibrated continuously.

Half an hour later, Chen Wujun emerged from the wooden tub, his face pale and his mouth still smelling of blood.

However, there was no sign of frustration on his face; on the contrary, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Although he failed this time and got injured again, he felt that he had gotten a little bit of it.
