This martial arts tournament is time-stopping.

Yang Heng glanced at the awakened Yang Shuisheng. After all, he was one of their own, so he should give him a chance.

"Shuisheng, I'm giving you one chance. If you learn the stance training by nightfall tomorrow, everything will remain the same. If you still haven't learned it, then don't come back!"

"Yes, yes, I will definitely study hard tonight and tomorrow!"

Yang Shuisheng cried his heart out.

He only learned half of the stance training in three days. How could he possibly learn the remaining half in just one day?

Unless someone helps teach me tonight!

After looking around, who should I ask for advice?

Niu San has Niu Da protecting him and won't pay him any attention; Yang Dayong has looked down on him since he was a child; and Ji Shan is young, so he might be easier to talk to.

And Yang Shuisheng didn't wrong Yang Heng; he blamed Wei Lin, that bastard, for deliberately stirring things up!

"Then it's settled!"

Ignoring Yang Shuisheng's hateful gaze, Wei Lin turned and went to the corner of the courtyard to continue his stance training.

Everyone suffers in this world!

His family worked tirelessly day and night fishing on the Longnu River, constantly facing challenges such as raging storms, river monsters, and oppression from fishing gangs and markets, all to earn money to send him to a martial arts school to train!

Only by mastering their skills can they change their family's situation of being oppressed at the bottom.

Everyone has reasons for doing things they feel compelled to do!

Therefore, he came to compete for this cultivation material!

"An honest man can be ruthless when he strikes!"

As Qin Shaoyang chewed on the dried meat of the strange beast, he was somewhat surprised that Wei Lin would do such a thing.

"We are all born of the same root, why are you so eager to harm me!"

Han Heng is someone who has also come out of the mud, he knows how hard everyone is, but does he have to do this?

"Actually, Yang Heng is even more ruthless! Yang Shuisheng is his half-brother, and he doesn't need those three taels of silver. If he were truly kind, he wouldn't have sold him off..."

Shang Feihong, Qin Shaoyang, and Han Heng exchanged the dried meat of the exotic beasts in their hands, tasting the different flavors of the beasts.

"Alas! How difficult the world is!"

If Ye Chu Ruo didn't have an immortal body, he wouldn't be learning martial arts with Wei Lin and others at the martial arts school right now, and he might be in an even worse situation than Yang Shuisheng!

After chatting and regaining their energy, they continued practicing standing meditation to build up their strength.

This matter was nothing more than a casual chatter among people during their leisure time.

A day passed quietly.

Ye Chu did not encounter the expected retaliation from the Yang family or any other type of retaliation.

On the morning of the fourth day of his training, Ye Chu visited several butcher shops in the western part of the city:

【Root bone: 15】

【Time and Rhythm: 14.3】

[Skill: Tiger-Taming Stance (Beginner Level: 15/20)]

"His physical constitution has improved by almost half since he first arrived! He can master the basic stance training in just 5 days without any extra help, and his endurance, physique, and strength have all shown significant improvement..."

At noon, Han Heng suddenly approached Ye Chu excitedly and said:

"Brother Ye, I've been eating well these past two days, and my blood and energy are accumulating quickly. I'm only one-tenth away from covering the skin membrane! I expect to break through the blood barrier either tomorrow or the day after!"

"This is excellent, truly befitting your top-tier talent! Furthermore, you and Master Nie are now father-in-law and son-in-law. Before breaking through, consult your master again about the details, striving for steady progress!"

Ye Chu offered his heartfelt congratulations.

Furthermore, it wouldn't seem abrupt for him to break through the Blood Barrier only after Han Heng and Yang Heng had both done so.

Otherwise, he would have already added some time to his Time River Classroom.

"Yes, I'll ask more questions to make sure I can clear the level smoothly without any problems!"

Han Heng could hear the goodwill and congratulations in Ye Chu's words, and gently patted Ye Chu's shoulder:

"Once I find out the secret tonight, I'll tell you about it tomorrow!"

But don't tell your brother-in-law about this, otherwise it would be disgusting if Yang Heng found out!

"We definitely won't tell anyone. Come on, let's train our strength!"

Ye Chu could already sense that Han Heng clearly disliked Yang Heng.

While he was lifting the 100-pound stone weight repeatedly, Han Heng was trying to lift a 150-pound stone weight repeatedly.

Although Ye Chu could also lift a 150-pound stone lock

But lifting it once is not the same as repeatedly lifting it!

Just like a normal person, if you hold a bottle of mineral water with your arm parallel to the ground, you will only feel a slight weight for the first 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, your muscles will feel noticeably heavy and sore. After 90 to 150 seconds, your arm will start to tremble uncontrollably. After 200 seconds, most people will not be able to maintain the position and the bottle will start to fall.

"How many good things did Nie Qingcang feed Han Heng to make Han Heng's physique improve so significantly?"

If Ye Chu said he wasn't envious, he would definitely be jealous.

But Nie Qingcang's eagerness to tie Han Heng to the car made Ye Chu somewhat wary.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

His uncle's family, Yang Shuisheng's half-brother Yang Heng, are living examples of persecution!

He shook his head slightly, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts.

While practicing stance training to promote the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body, he used the Tiger Breathing Method to regulate the balance between the body's organs, and imagined himself as a tiger pouncing on its prey, lifting a stone.

In this process, the Qi and blood can be absorbed by the compressed muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, thereby promoting the body to regenerate, transform, and reshape itself, in order to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body and cultivating strength.

A stronger physique is like expanding the diameter of a bucket, increasing the upper limit of the capacity of qi and blood!

Therefore, as Ye Chu practiced the Dragon-Tiger Stance more and more, his understanding deepened, and he gained a fundamental understanding:

Essence, Qi, blood, and physique—this is a cycle that allows him to spiral upwards, as if stepping on his own foot with his right!

However, he anticipates that the spiral ascent of the body by stepping on the right foot with the left foot will be limited when the qi and blood completely cover the skin membrane.

Modern martial artists refer to this restriction as:

Bloodbath!

Therefore, there are no restrictions on the cultivation before reaching the Blood Barrier, as long as you eat well, have sufficient energy, and use the right methods to refine your blood and qi!

But if someone like Yang Shuisheng can't even remember the Dragon-Tiger Stance for refining qi and blood, then there's really nothing that can be done.

thump~

Ye Chu put down the hundred-pound stone lock, panting heavily as he wiped the thick sweat from his forehead.

At the same time, I silently counted down the number 20!

This is the number of times he has lifted a 100-pound stone weight in a row.

"Not bad, five more times than yesterday!"

"Haha, I just lifted a 150-pound stone weight nine times in a row, you'd better speed things up!"

Han Heng saw Ye Chu put down the stone lock and wipe his sweat, and began to show off.

Especially at this moment, he felt that Nie Qingcang was truly a worthy son-in-law, and there was no more pleasure than watching others be left far behind!

In the distance, Qin Shaoyang watched Han Heng's progress with envy.

He ate and drank well and practiced for more than a month to get to this level, while Han Heng only practiced for three and a half days!

The difference lies in...

"It's all about physical constitution!"

Qin Shaoyang sighed, no longer wanting to try and build a relationship with Han Heng, because it would hurt his pride!

Yang Heng secretly resented himself for delaying things by teaching a few good-for-nothings, while Han Heng, that lowly tenant slave, got ahead.

When Ye Chu saw Yang Heng looking at Han Heng, his heart stirred slightly, and he accelerated Han Heng's process of stealing Yang Heng's lifespan, talent, and fortune once again.

He deliberately caused Yang Heng to feel tired and uncomfortable, thus subtly making Yang Heng dislike Han Heng.

As for the lifespan, talent, and luck that were stolen at an accelerated pace, Ye Chu stuffed them into the body of the chirping fledgling at his feet.

Furthermore, after being frequently infused with Yang Heng's lifespan, talent, and fortune over the past two days, the fledgling bird has grown full wings and has a lively look in its eyes.

All that's missing is learning to flap its wings, and it will be able to fly.

However, Ye Chu felt that he should let it fly for a few more days, lest it run away because it was wild and unfamiliar with the terrain after just learning to fly, which would make him a laughing stock.
