From the Iron Shirt Technique to physical sanctification

Chapter 21 is too abnormal.

That afternoon, Zhang Yu took Wen Hua and followed Sima Rui to the Black Tiger Gang headquarters.

Li Mazi, a peak-level expert in Ming Jin (a martial arts technique), was the former captain of the fifth team of the Black Tiger Gang. After the death of the gang leader Li Xiong, nearly two months of fighting ensued, during which most of the Black Tiger Gang's experts either died or fled, leaving him as the only remaining expert.

The Black Tiger Gang is currently under the temporary management of Li Mazi.

He saw Zhang Yu, and an angry expression appeared on his face. The Black Tiger Gang used to be the third largest gang in Cangmang City. They used to act arrogantly and domineeringly. But because of Zhang Yu, in just two months, the Black Tiger Gang has become what it is now.

"Lord Sima, it's him..."

"Shut up!" Sima Rui glared at Li Mazi.

Li Mazi was startled, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Call the rest of the gang over, I have something to say," Sima Rui said.

"Yes!" Li Mazi hurriedly went to call for someone.

Soon the rest of the Black Tiger Gang arrived in the hall.

The gang, which originally had more than a hundred members, now has only 19 members left. Among them, only Li Mazi is a martial artist, while the remaining 18 are ordinary people.

Without wasting any words, Sima Rui directly announced that Zhang Yu would serve as the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

hum...

Voices of opposition immediately rose in the hall.

"Lord Sima, the Black Tiger Gang has become what it is because of him. It's very likely that he killed Chief Li. I don't accept him as the gang leader," Li Mazi shouted, forcing himself to speak.

"Yes, we disagree." Someone immediately echoed.

Sima Rui didn't speak, but simply turned to look at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu didn't say a word, but walked to a rockery in the courtyard. The rockery was about two zhang high.

He channeled the true essence of the Shattered Martial Arts, and then seemingly lightly punched the artificial mountain.

There was no roaring sound, not even any sound at all.

Zhang Yu withdrew his fist and turned to look at Li Mazi and the others. Li Mazi and the others looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"

The next second, Zhang Yu lifted his foot and gently shook the ground.

Whoosh!

The once intact artificial hill collapsed instantly into fist-sized rubble, and almost every piece of rubble was the same size—that's the most terrifying part.

This demonstrates Zhang Yu's meticulous control over his strength.

hiss……

Upon seeing this, Li Mazi and the others gasped in shock. Even Sima Rui was dumbfounded, followed by a feeling of dread.

He couldn't withstand Zhang Yu's punch.

At this moment, he felt a sense of relief, thankful that he hadn't completely fallen out with Zhang Yu.

"Who objects to me becoming the leader of the Black Tiger Gang?" Zhang Yu's gaze swept across the faces of Li Mazi and the others. Everyone whose gaze fell upon him lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

"If no one objects, I hereby announce an appointment: Wen Hua will now serve as the deputy leader of the Black Tiger Gang. From now on, his word is my word. Do you understand?" Zhang Yu said coldly.

Li Mazi and the others remained silent.

"Answer me, or do you have objections to my orders as the gang leader?" Zhang Yu's voice was icy as he took a step toward Li Mazi and the others.

Swish!

Li Mazi and the others felt a powerful pressure, and beads of sweat instantly streamed down their backs.

thump!

Some people couldn't stand Zhang Yu's pressure and knelt down, and then, thump, thump... Except for Li Mazi, the other 18 people knelt down.

Zhang Yu stared at Li Mazi, his eyes flashing with cold light, his murderous intent stirring within him.

He lacks the energy and patience to manage a gang, so Wen Hua is suitable for the position. Wen Hua has the destiny of being righteous and chivalrous, a natural-born gangster, but he is currently lacking in strength and needs Zhang Yu to establish his authority.

Seeing the murderous intent in Zhang Yu's eyes, Li Mazi knew he could no longer resist. He knelt on the ground with a thud, saying, "We obey your command!"

"We obey your command!"

"Greetings, Chief!"

"Greetings, Vice Leader!"

After Zhang Yu dealt with Li Mazi and the others, he left the Black Tiger Gang headquarters, leaving the rest to Wen Hua. He would also send Chu Qingwen over when it was time to collect the medicinal herbs.

Leave professional matters to professionals; Wen Hua is born with the sacred body of a gang.

In this world, loyalty is essential to gaining trust and earning people's willingness to follow you.

Wen Hua's destiny is one of unwavering righteousness.

Making money through business – Chu Qingwen’s family has been in business for generations.

Zhang Yu would never do something as foolish as an amateur giving advice to an expert.

Having arranged this matter, he focused on guiding and supervising Niu Mancang's cultivation in the backyard. Even in a major martial arts city like Yunyin City, he had rarely seen people with special physiques. Although Niu Mancang's Wild Bull Physique ranked 69th out of the 72 Earthly Fiend Physiques, Zhang Yu believed that once fully developed, its strength would be limitless.

boom!

Niu Mancang, his body smeared with body-shattering ointment, kept ramming into the black iron pillar. A box of the ointment cost three thousand taels of silver, and Zhang Yu bought ten boxes for Niu Mancang without batting an eye.

Next to it, a large pot was simmering a medicinal bath soup specifically for Iron Shirt, one pot a day.

As for the meat of second-tier demon beasts, Niu Mancang could eat as much as he wanted each day without any limit.

Zhang Yu poured all his resources into Niu Mancang, and every day he would spend an hour using his True Meaning of Shattering to help Niu Mancang temper his body, breaking down the medicinal power within him and letting it seep into his bones.

Li Yue, Zhao Dun, and others were filled with envy.

Niu Mancang was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He felt that nothing he said would be enough. He couldn't repay his master Zhang Yu's kindness even if he had ten lives. He could only cultivate even more desperately.

Niu Mancang spends ten out of the twelve two-hour periods of the day cultivating.

With the investment of resources and Niu Mancang's desperate hard work, the daily proficiency points he gave Zhang Yu increased from 60 to 130.

Two months later.

Niu Mancang's weight increased to 500 jin (250 catties), and his height was nearly 1 zhang (3.3 meters).

He was taking a medicinal bath when suddenly a golden light emanated from his body, and then the medicinal liquid in the entire pot was instantly absorbed and turned into clear water.

Niu Mancang's body began to undergo tremendous changes.

He felt the second shackle on his body being broken, and a surging power appeared out of nowhere, beginning to nourish his body.

The power accumulated throughout the body's flesh and blood slowly compresses into the bones, causing the bones to contract as well, resulting in excruciating pain.

Ahh...

He couldn't help but scream in agony.

"Mancang, hold on! You are forging an iron body, and because of your Wild Bull Body, it may even become a higher level of golden body." Zhang Yu appeared beside the cauldron, looking at the faint golden light appearing all over Niu Mancang's body, and said loudly to him.

Niu Mancang, who had been screaming in agony, gritted his teeth and stopped screaming when he heard Zhang Yu's voice and remembered how good Zhang Yu had been to him.

"My master is so good to me, what is this little pain? I can't let my master down, ah ah..." Niu Mancang shouted in his heart.

The body, weighing 500 pounds, is slowly shrinking, and the height of 3 meters is also decreasing.

About two hours later, this change finally stopped completely, and at this time, Niu Mancang in the big pot was emitting a layer of light golden light.

His 3-meter height was transformed into 2 meters, the fat man became a normal-sized man, even a little thin, and his muscles were like blocks of iron.

Instead of losing weight, his weight increased, going from 500 jin to 650 jin.

At this moment, Niu Mancang's presence exuded a powerful sense of pressure. Ordinary people standing within a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) of him could not breathe and felt suffocated.

Zhang Yu glanced at the system panel.

Name: Niu Mancang

[Realm: Hidden Strength]

[Technique: Iron Shirt Perfected, Copper Skin and Golden Bones]

[The "Wild Bull" style has reached a development level of 30%.]

"As expected of Golden Bones," Zhang Yu thought to himself. "No wonder he looks thinner and smaller, but his weight has actually increased."

"Full position, let's test the strength after the breakout."

"Yes, Master!"

Niu Mancang crashed into the black iron pillar where he was practicing his martial arts.

boom!

hum!

With a thud, the black iron pillar buried deep underground was knocked down, and the spot where it had just been hit was bent and deformed.
