Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

Upon hearing this, the group showed no joy whatsoever; instead, they became filled with surprise and uncertainty.

The group kept scrutinizing the person wearing a monkey mask, obscuring their face. Recalling the key phrase "hit three times," their hearts were filled with turmoil once again.

You only need to land three punches to earn a thousand taels of silver!

Something doesn't seem right. Could this person be a martial arts master?

But then they thought again, so what if they are martial artists? If they were to exchange injuries for injuries, wouldn't three punches be a piece of cake?

With this in mind, the group exchanged glances and immediately made a decision: to give it a try.

"Senior, let me make this clear first: this is purely a competition, and no one is to be killed. You cannot go back on your word afterward."

Chen Han answered without hesitation, "Okay!"

This time, he was just acting on a whim, wanting to test just how strong his Thunderclap Technique really was. As for the thousand taels of silver, he wasn't worried at all. If the Thunderclap Technique wasn't good enough, he could use the Wind and Cloud Boots instead.

The Wind and Cloud Boots do not change the appearance of the user, so there is no fear of being discovered inappropriately, even in public.

Based on this, these people simply have no chance of winning.

Even if we win, we can just borrow another thousand taels. Would a wealthy Mr. Xu care about a mere thousand taels?

Just then, several men were also rubbing their hands together, ready to show their skills and pocket the huge sum of one thousand taels of silver.

Instead of charging recklessly, the men strategically spread out and surrounded Chen Han. Chen Han was slightly surprised that they were somewhat intelligent and became more cautious.

At a certain moment, with a loud shout, the group moved at the same time, and the encirclement tightened rapidly. Even if a first-step martial artist or a second-step martial artist came, they would be at a disadvantage for a while and take a few hits.

Everyone knew this, and a triumphant smile inevitably appeared on their faces. The rules only said not to take lives, not that they couldn't surround someone. This person was still too young.

Just when everyone thought the opponent had made a mistake and the victory was assured, an unexpected change occurred!

Suddenly, the man in the center's eyes sharpened, and he dodged the nearest attack with incredible speed. Then, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, he leaped into the air to avoid the attack from the two people in his blind spot, and then kicked them both away in mid-air.

Only two people remained, and they were almost upon him, leaving no way to avoid them. Yet, Chen Han miraculously avoided them.

His speed and agility were astonishing. With a single step, he seemed to teleport, appearing two steps to the side of the two in the blink of an eye, leaving only a fleeting, dark blue silhouette in the air.

When Chen Han was cultivating in the pool, his speed was already quite astonishing, and that was under the condition of resistance. Now, he is naturally even faster in the air.

Logically speaking, movement skills and accumulated experience alone are not enough to achieve the amazing technique just now, but the mystery of the Thunderclap Technique lies here.

Aside from its movement techniques, it also has a crucial element, which is also the signature move of this martial art—lightning!

When the skin of a fully refined Thunder Strike user is covered with a faint layer of electric arcs, its purpose is to allow the martial artist to master a certain amount of lightning power, thereby greatly increasing their speed, even reaching the terrifying level of teleportation in the eyes of ordinary people.

The power of lightning may sound a bit childish and illogical, but that's the truth.

Although this martial art is dangerous and difficult to master, and can be fatal if one is not careful, the benefits that can be obtained after mastering it are also quite terrifying and considerable.

Back to the present moment, now that the encirclement had been broken, Chen Han could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had to admit that he had been quite tense just now.

Then, of course, he wouldn't give them a chance to catch their breath and surround them again, but instead took the initiative to attack them.

What followed was a one-sided beating. They only saw a blurry figure flash before their eyes as Chen Han approached, and before they could react, they had already been kicked backward and sent flying, completely unable to fight back.

After a few moves, the group, shocked by the difference in strength, realized the gap in power and dared not be presumptuous anymore, immediately kneeling down.

"Senior, senior, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I beg you to have mercy and spare my life!"

"Senior, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! We were just playing a little joke on you."

That's terrifying! This person is absolutely terrifying. He's probably just some boring martial arts master looking for fun.

"Then why aren't you getting out of here?"

Chen Han glanced at them and spoke calmly.

"Get out of here, I'll get out of here right now."

The group fled as if their lives depended on it, while the onlookers pretended nothing had happened and left, no longer daring to look at Chen Han, and even involuntarily making way for him.

"My benefactor, my benefactor, I will be your man from now on. I will obey your every command, even if it means going through fire and water. If you want me to die, I will die."

Wang Yue kowtowed in gratitude, seemingly wishing he could give Chen Han his heart.

"Fine, go ahead and die..."

These words stunned Wang Yue, who stammered for a long time, unable to utter a word.

"Hahaha, alright, you're from Black Lion City, aren't you? Do you know if Zhang Hao is still alive, and where he is?"

"Black Lion City? Zhang Hao?"

Wang Yue stared blankly at Chen Han, then excitedly said, "Could it be that my benefactor's hometown is also Black Lion City? Oh, what a coincidence! I know Zhang Hao, he's over there. My benefactor's kindness follows me."

It's better to buy things from acquaintances, especially precious items that cost hundreds of taels of silver; at least you'll be less likely to be ripped off.

Before long, after passing through a shantytown and turning onto another, older street, Chen Han entered an ordinary shop and saw Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao was much thinner than he was in Black Lion City, and his skin was rough, clearly showing the hardships he had endured on his escape.

The shop was small and dilapidated, practically just a few sheds set up and slightly covered up, but the items were arranged in Zhang Hao's style: spotless and neatly organized.

Seeing the familiar boy bring in a stranger, Zhang Hao looked puzzled.

He knew that Wang Yue had come from Black Lion City, survived countless hardships, and after arriving here, he tried to return to his old profession but was suppressed by his peers, and his life was impoverished and far worse than before.

Out of desperation, he resorted to some fraudulent business, and all the junk he bought came from him.

But now, for some reason, he brought a stranger here, which aroused his suspicion.

"Could it be that this bastard has gotten into trouble and is begging me for his life?"

"I hope that's not the case, or I'll kill him myself."

Nowadays, everyone who fled from Black Lion City to this place, whether they are from families, gangs, or those who do shady business, is doing worse and worse than the last. Who would dare to cause trouble for them?

Especially that so-called Black Mountain Gang, they were all killed like dogs!

If it weren't for Xue Yinzi, the leader of the Black Mountain Gang, hiding his identity after arriving here, he would probably have gone to the Yellow Springs with his men.

"Sir, are you here to do business?"

With this in mind, Zhang Hao became very wary and greeted them with a smile and a cupped-hand salute.

"Isn't this Zhang Ritian? How come you don't recognize me?"
