Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

However, during this time, it wasn't just the people from the Iron Body Martial Arts School who were here.

People from the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, people from the middle and northern docks, and even some reporters who had heard the news were all staking out this place.

Whether it's simply to find out the outcome, to probe Chen Yi's background, or to grab some scoop on the news.

In short, things were calm on the surface at the southern dock during this period, and the laborers were working steadily.

In fact, people from all walks of life were watching this place closely, making it a lively and bustling spot.

However, the people from other factions are just waiting for the outcome.

The other two sections of the pier are of most concern.

They sent people to keep an eye on Chen Yi, ostensibly to assess his abilities, but in reality, their attention was focused on the Iron Body Martial Arts School.

Chen Yi is all alone and can't make a difference. The dock will definitely be taken over by the Iron Body Martial Arts School.

However, if the Iron Body Martial Arts School suffers another defeat in this fight, they will be able to easily erode the territory of the southern dock.

Therefore, they were most concerned about Chen Yi and the Iron Body Martial Arts School.

"How's it going?" asked the foreman at the middle dock.

The underling keeping watch shook his head: "That Chen Yi hasn't shown up for two days. There's no way a fight will break out."

The foreman at the northern dock sneered, "They've probably run away."

"It's pretty much true. No matter how bad the Iron Body Martial Arts School's reputation is, it's still a martial arts school. If you mess with them and stubbornly refuse to run away, you're doomed."

The younger brother asked, "Should we still keep an eye on them?"

The leader said, "Keep an eye on them. This is the boss's order. As long as the Iron Body Martial Arts School doesn't show up, keep an eye on them."

The younger brother nodded in agreement.

"Iron Shirt Technique, I've finally mastered it."

Inside the warehouse, Chen Yi was wearing only shorts, his upper body bare.

He was holding a machete, and suddenly he slashed at his own chest.

When the two touched, the knife felt as if it had struck something extremely tough.

It has to be cut back and forth to make it even slightly cut.

Chen Yi looked down to check his chest.

There was only a red mark where I was slashed; the skin wasn't broken.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yi raised his cleaver again and slashed it fiercely at his own chest.

This time, he flicked his arm, and the speed of the machete increased visibly.

However, he used the force of returning to the mountain.

However, when the cleaver landed on Chen Yi, it only brought him some dull pain.

At a glance, it only left a faint bloodstain; it hadn't actually cut into the flesh.

Such resistance is nothing like human skin.

"With the Iron Shirt skill fully upgraded and the attributes provided by the stat panel, it's truly formidable."

Chen Yi looked at the text in front of him.

Martial Arts: Iron Shirt.

Level: Perfect.

[You have mastered a martial art to perfection, and from this you have grasped its true essence, gaining +1 resistance.]

The panel provides resistance as an attribute, while the perfect Iron Shirt effect generates another force within the body.

This force adheres to the body surface when used in practice, resisting external damage.

Chen Yi called it external force, and its effect was defense.

The Returning Mountain Force, also known as Internal Force, can amplify power.

Therefore, although he still only had fighting style and no training style, his external strength and resistance attributes made his skin even able to withstand weapons.

However, Chen Yi was not arrogant and had a clear understanding of his own strength.

"The machete is not a very good knife. It is rather dull. When I use the power of the Returning Mountain Force, it is only equivalent to a martial artist who has broken through the Qi and Blood. Martial artists who have reached a higher realm must be much stronger."

"Besides, in this era, there's nothing to be proud of in being able to carry a knife. If you get shot in the back, you'll die anyway."

"I still need to practice. I need more martial arts techniques. Two days have passed, so Four-Eyes should have collected some new martial arts techniques by now."

As Chen Yi pondered this, he walked to the warehouse door and pushed it open.

The rising sun shone on him.

He practiced for two days and two nights, and came out on the morning of the third day.

Although he didn't sleep that night, his condition was refreshed when he reached the pinnacle of Iron Shirt.

In a sense, as long as he continues to improve his skills, he doesn't need to sleep at all.

Previously, after practicing until late at night to break through to a higher proficiency level, I would sleep for a few hours; it was just a habit.

"It's time to go check out the docks."

Having mastered the Iron Shirt technique, he had improved his defense and no longer needed to fear being easily killed.

If you're truly outmatched, just run.

Of course, this time only the defensive capabilities have been improved; the punching power has not been increased, so it certainly won't be able to kill the Iron Body Martial Arts School members.

But he doesn't need to kill anyone; he just needs to be able to withstand the attacks from the Iron Body Martial Arts School.

After all, he was alone, while the other party was an entire martial arts school.

If you can't kill him, you'll lose face.

At the same time, it can also deter those who secretly covet it and help us gain a foothold at the southern dock.

Looking at the sky, it was a clear, cloudless day.

It's perfect for a brutal, no-holds-barred brawl where every punch lands hard and is incredibly intense.

Under the sunlight, every detail was clearly visible, enough to make the Iron Body Martial Arts School lose face.

Chen Yi strode towards the dock.

During my walk, I stopped at a food stall in the dock market and even bought two meat pies to eat as I went.

Before long, he arrived at the dock.

At this time, the dockworkers were already at work, busily moving goods.

Li Cheng, along with the two Shang brothers, supervised from the shade.

"Master Yi, you've emerged from seclusion." Li Cheng was the first to notice Chen Yi as he walked over and quickly called out.

The two brothers quickly followed and greeted him.

"Have you eaten?" Chen Yi asked with a smile.

"Eat up, Master Yi, be careful, quite a few strangers have come these past few days..." Li Cheng said in a low voice.

Although he was born in a mountain village and has a simple and honest personality, he is not stupid.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have left their mountain village to broaden their horizons in the Tianhai Concession.

In the past two days, he had noticed the extra people around the dock.

Although many people dressed up as laborers, he had worked at the docks for so long that he could tell at a glance that it was just a disguise.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Chen Yi said with a smile.

He knew perfectly well that the extra people must be from various factions on the dock.

However, he was hoping that more people would come, so that the news of his fight with the Iron Body Martial Arts School could spread.

To let more people know his name, Chen Yi.

News of Chen Yi's appearance spread immediately at the dock.

Those who had been keeping watch for days and were initially a bit listless suddenly perked up.

Soon, two martial arts instructors wearing gray short jackets from the Iron Body Martial Arts School walked over.

"Stay away from here, don't get involved," Chen Yi instructed Li Cheng and the others.

Then he strode forward and walked to an open space on the dock.

He watched with a smile as the two people opposite him walked towards him.

As they approached, Chen Yi raised the meat pie in his hand.

Have you eaten?

"Still thinking about food? I'm going to beat you so badly you'll spit out what you're eating from behind," the hot-tempered martial artist sneered.

The composed martial artist moved to the other side, flanking Chen Yi and blocking his escape route.

"You can't skip breakfast."

Chen Yi swallowed the rest of the meat pie in a couple of bites, grinning and saying, "After all, we're going to be fighting all day."
