Gou Zai Wu Dao Chao Shi Xing Nian Da Gong

Early in the morning, the entire Zhou family got busy, packing large and small bags and loading them onto the borrowed donkey cart.

Zhou Fugan's daughter, Zhou Guiyun, also came to help, and even his son-in-law, Cheng Dong, who rarely visited, came. He was very polite and always had a smile on his face. His grandson and granddaughter also came and doted on Zhou Fugan.

Zhou Fugan was very happy. Cheng Dong was actually a good person, and he treated his daughter well too. It was just that his mother-in-law was too difficult to deal with, always causing trouble for no reason, and Cheng Dong was caught in the middle. However, now that Zhou Sheng had become a martial artist, his mother-in-law would probably restrain herself in the future.

"Second Aunt, what are you doing here?"

"Old Zhang's daughter-in-law asked with a look of surprise."

"Aunt Zhang, isn't our Xiaosheng doing great? He broke through some barrier and will be a martial arts master from now on. He bought a courtyard house in Yingzi Street and told us all to move there." Li Qiuhua couldn't stop smiling and couldn't stop showing off.

"What? Zhou Shengcheng has become a martial arts master? And he even bought a big house?" Zhang's mouth dropped open when she heard this. "Oh my, your family is going to be living a life of luxury from now on. I knew this child was no ordinary person since he was a child, and sure enough, he's really going to make something of himself."

"Yes, yes, Xiaosheng, do you remember? I used to hold you when you were little."

"..."

A group of neighbors gathered around upon hearing the news, all looking on with envy and flattery.

At this moment, Zhou He was the most excited. Seeing the envious looks from his former playmates, his chin practically stood on end.

"Looks like this kid needs to increase his exercise."

Zhou Fugan pondered silently.

He didn't hide the move from his neighbors; there was no need. Even if they knew, what could they do besides feel envy, jealousy, and resentment?

And since we've finally brought honor to our ancestors, shouldn't we let our family members show off a little?

Afterwards, Zhou Fugan chatted with a few old neighbors for a few minutes, then told Zhou Guangcheng to drive the car away.

As soon as the donkey cart reached the alley entrance, Zhou Fugan saw a figure walking unsteadily from the opposite side.

It was Hu Yong, the young master of the Hu family. His eyes were vacant, he looked lost and muttered something unintelligible. He had gone to the gambling den as soon as he received the silver that day. Judging from his current state, he had clearly lost all of the hundred taels of silver.

Zhou Fugan glanced at him indifferently and then turned away, ignoring him completely.

The family, filled with laughter and joy, walked towards their new home, like a newly grown tree, full of anticipation and vitality.

Behind them, the down-on-his-luck young master of the Hu family and the enormous ancestral home of the Hu family stand like withered trees in a wasteland, filled with deathly silence and hopelessness, quietly awaiting the final curtain call.

...

The new house was already cleaned up. Zhou Guangcheng's family, Zhang Xiufen, and Zhou Guiyun's family had been busy for three or four days, without hiring any outsiders, and had cleaned it inside and out spotlessly. The newly bought beds and furniture had also arrived. Everyone had been assigned their own room and room, so they could move in immediately.

Zhou Fugan lives alone in the backyard, which is somewhat spacious but quiet.

The small garden was leveled, and the entire yard became a training ground, large enough for his two grandsons to practice martial arts. It also made things much more convenient for him to practice some martial arts.

......

That night, it was late and quiet.

Inside a spacious, empty room in the backyard.

Zhou Fugan stood in the middle of the room, shirtless and drenched in sweat, diligently practicing the Hammer Cloud Stance Method.

He felt streams of energy flowing through his body, combining with the medicinal power of the Fiery Pill, constantly impacting his muscles and bones. Waves of soreness, numbness, and swelling emanated from between his bones, making it almost unbearable.

Boom boom boom~~

His eardrums felt the roar of a rushing river, the sound of his blood circulating rapidly within him.

"We're about to break through!"

Zhou Fugan glanced at the virtual interface; his cultivation progress was just a little short of reaching the maximum of 800 points.

At this moment, he didn't experience much emotional fluctuation. After all, this was something that was already destined to happen; once the novelty wore off, it wouldn't affect his emotions anymore.

Finally, just as the medicinal effects in his body were about to run out, a cracking sound came from within him.

He felt his tendons contracting violently, and his bones trembling and colliding. A violent tearing sensation and excruciating pain from the bone marrow came over him, as if his tendons were being torn apart and his bones were being shattered bit by bit.

Despite the excruciating pain, Zhou Fugan continued his cultivation.

Cultivating martial arts is about pursuing a leap in the level of the human body, from a fragile, low level to a powerful, high level. This qualitative change is inevitably not easy, but is accompanied by painful tempering.

Zhou Fugan continued his cultivation, but he always felt that he was lacking something, which prevented him from completing his breakthrough.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him. While performing the stance training, he abruptly raised his foot and stomped hard on the ground.

It's a technique for stepping on the mountain.

Boom~~

A muffled thud shook the ground, and the powerful shockwave traveled into my body.

Zhou Fugan immediately used Tai Chi techniques to guide the energy to spread throughout his body's muscles and bones.

Instantly, he felt his muscles and bones undergoing a rapid transformation amidst the vibrations, and the remaining medicinal power in his body was quickly consumed.

"it works!"

Zhou Fugan was overjoyed and quickly took a Fireball and put it in his mouth. Then, after hesitating for a moment, he took out another one and put it in his mouth.

The pill melted in the mouth, forming a hot stream that flowed into the stomach. Then, the immense heat of the medicine exploded within the body, burning like a raging fire.

Zhou Fugan immediately began cultivating.

Boom boom boom~~

He continuously used the "Mountain-Stepping Leg" technique in his stance training, and powerful shockwaves constantly tempered his muscles and bones. The immense medicinal power within his body was rapidly consumed like flames.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but the medicine finally wore off. In an instant, his bones and muscles creaked, and the intense pain and numbness quickly disappeared.

A powerful force arises spontaneously, originating from the muscles and bones, and spreading throughout the entire body.

"drink!"

Zhou Fugan suddenly threw a punch, the powerful force of which tore through the air and struck a wooden stake.

Boom~~

The wooden stake shattered instantly, turning into countless wood chips that flew in all directions, covering the fan-shaped surface in front of it.

"Breaking through the bone and muscle barrier is indeed powerful!"

Zhou Fugan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Breaking through the skin barrier leads to a qualitative change in the strengthening of the skin throughout the body. Power is transmitted through the skin, and the force is released like a snapped string, clearly visible, hence the name "manifest strength".

Breaking through the barrier of tendons and bones leads to a qualitative change in the entire body's tendons and bones. The increased power is stored within the tendons and bones, and transmitted through them, the force is as great as a mountain collapsing. A punch that appears ordinary on the surface actually contains terrifying power like a landslide, and the force is as destructive as ever, bursting out from within. This kind of power is called hidden strength.

In the past, he could easily break a wooden stake or shatter it, but it would never have shattered into such fine wood chips. This is the result of the combined effect of the external force (manifest strength) and the internal force (conceal strength).

If this hit a person, the surface injury might not be significant, but the internal organs would be shattered.
