Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 19 Star Power Fist

Early morning, the sun rises.

After breakfast.

Luo Qingfeng returned to his room, sat down at his desk, and began reading intently.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on his handsome face and his tall, elegant figure in a scholar's robe, bathing him in a golden glow.

Su Zhao'er, dressed in a red dress, came to the window, bent down and leaned on the windowsill, resting her chin on her hands. Her dark and lively eyes looked at him and she said dreamily, "Brother Feng is so handsome... I want to eat you right now."

Luo Qingfeng shuddered.

"Hehe, I won't disturb Brother Feng's reading anymore, Zhao'er is going to study too."

The girl giggled, twirled, her red skirt fluttering, her black hair flying, as innocent and carefree as a newly blossoming flower, and gracefully ran out of the courtyard.

As Luo Qingfeng watched the red figure disappear through the doorway, for some reason, a bizarre thought suddenly arose in his mind.

If she continues like this, without transforming or harming others, perhaps he can…

Pshaw! What are you thinking?!

How could he possibly be with a demon!

Has your mind been corrupted by demons?

He immediately dismissed these terrible thoughts.

Another half hour passed.

After Zi'er left, he got up and went out through the back door.

He had already lit the starlight last night, and today he decided to try out that set of fist techniques to see just how powerful it was when imbued with starlight.

The muscles all over his body are noticeably more toned than before.

It seems that changes have occurred throughout my body.

Now he walks with a lighter and more relaxed feeling, no longer the frail scholar he once was.

I didn't eat enough for breakfast.

He seemed even hungrier today than yesterday.

It seems we need to replenish our energy.

Fortunately, he still had some loose silver left, enough for a hearty meal today.

However, this will be the last meal we have.

After he finishes eating today, he'll have to figure out how to earn some money tomorrow.

You can't continue cultivating without money.

Just as he was about to walk towards the butcher shop, a familiar voice suddenly came from across the street: "Luo Qingfeng!"

Luo Qingfeng turned his head and saw that it was his older cousin.

"Why aren't you studying at home? What are you doing out here?"

Three men were surrounding Song Chuan, smiling broadly as they spoke to him. Upon hearing this, they turned to look at him.

Luo Qingfeng stopped and bowed respectfully: "Cousin, I'm going to the bookstore to find a book of poems."

Upon hearing this, Song Chuan gave him a few more disdainful looks, then waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Just then, a man beside him asked, "Brother Song, is that kid the distant cousin who's been staying at your house?"

Song Chuan snorted coldly and said, "Who else could it be but him?"

Another man sneered, "Looking at his weak and frail appearance, I bet even a weak woman could knock him over."

Another man said, "Brother Song, let's go. The food and drinks have already been ordered. You've successfully lit the Star Lamp in just three months. With such talent and speed, you have a bright future ahead of you. Don't forget us then."

Upon hearing this, the other two immediately flattered him with beaming smiles.

With a smug look on his face, Song Chuan was escorted into a restaurant by the three men.

Luo Qingfeng watched from a distance, and once he was sure the other party wouldn't suddenly appear again, he immediately went to the butcher shop ahead, bought three catties of cooked meat with his remaining silver, and then quickly left.

This time, he did not go to that Guanyin Temple again.

Today he is going to use the star power within his body to test his fist, which may cause quite a commotion. If it attracts other people, then it will be troublesome.

So he decided to go outside the town.

To the south of the town, there is a dense forest that is usually rarely visited.

You can tell from the overgrown path outside the woods.

After entering the woods, Luo Qingfeng carefully observed for a long time. Only after confirming that no one was following him and that there was no one else in the woods did he begin to eat the meat in large mouthfuls.

Beyond the woods, the view was flat.

He was in the woods, and could see very far outside.

If someone passes by, you can hide in advance and don't have to worry about being discovered.

The cooked meat tasted bland, so they wolfed it down.

After drinking the water he had brought with him, he rested for a while before preparing to test the power of his fist.

"Whoosh!"

Once he got into position, the star in his inner sea of ​​energy suddenly lit up.

Immediately, a strange current of energy was released from the stars, flowing rapidly through the meridians and acupoints towards the fists.

Luo Qingfeng instantly felt his arms and fists brimming with explosive power!

"call!"

He threw a punch, heavy and fierce, the air whistling!

Compared to before, it has a significantly greater strength and momentum, and its speed is also much faster!

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

He continued fighting, his moves becoming faster and faster, his momentum growing stronger and his strength increasing, yet his movements becoming increasingly agile.

"Snapped!"

The final punch was delivered, and there were even some sounds of air exploding!

After completing the entire set of boxing techniques, he was slightly sweating, having mastered the skill of using star power.

Almost instantly, the stellar energy within his body flowed into his fists.

He clenched his fist, looked at a large cedar tree in front of him, and then his star power surged into his arm and fist. With a "whoosh," he suddenly punched it.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud!

The thick cedar trunk instantly caved in and cracked, emitting a groaning sound as the wood crumbled.

The entire cedar tree suddenly swayed, its trunk tilted slightly, and it almost broke in half!

Luo Qingfeng looked closely and saw that the tree trunk he had struck had turned into a cotton-like mass, with most of the wood inside broken.

If it weren't for the fact that the trunk of this cedar tree is thick enough, it would probably have broken and collapsed.

If this punch landed on a person, the bones would probably break in two; if it hit internal organs, the organs would probably be shattered.

No wonder that book said that the first star in the sky could kill a ferocious beast.

A fist imbued with the power of the stars is indeed incomparable to that of ordinary people!

Luo Qingfeng was secretly delighted, but he did not get carried away with his success.

The realm of the First Star of Creation may be very powerful for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it is just the beginning.

For most demons, it's simply not enough.

He didn't dare to slack off. He looked around again and, seeing that there was no one else, continued practicing his boxing.

Today, I practiced boxing with the blessing of celestial power.

While possessing extraordinary power, it also consumes more physical energy.

However, the more this happens, the more it strengthens the body and soul.

If you persevere, believe that your physical body will become stronger and stronger, and your soul and spirit will also become more and more powerful.

In the future, if they encounter those wandering demonic thoughts, they will not dare to invade or possess them, let alone get close to them.

"Whoosh!"

He immediately activated the star power within his body and started fighting again from the first move.

The moves infused with star power felt completely different from the previous fights. It was as if all the muscles and bones in my body were being repeatedly tempered and refined in the process of tautening, accumulating power, and suddenly releasing explosive force.

Although its power and momentum have been greatly enhanced, the rate at which it consumes stamina is also astonishing.

Just half an hour later, my whole body was sore and aching.

At the same time, the light of the star in the sea of ​​ceremonies began to weaken, as if its energy was about to be exhausted.

This set of boxing techniques is extremely demanding in terms of both physical strength and stellar energy consumption.

Of course, this was only because he had just started cultivating.

It is believed that as his body is repeatedly tempered and the star space continues to expand, his physical strength and star power will also increase rapidly.

At that time, he would naturally be able to persist for longer and longer.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

After a short rest, they continued practicing.

After completely draining his body of star power, he slowed down and stopped using star power, practicing slowly with only ordinary strength.

After the star power gradually recovered, he continued to use the star power.

Through this repeated process, the internal organs, meridians, acupoints, muscles, bones, and even the soul and spirit are all subjected to intense tempering.

Pain is inevitable.

Only pain can completely change the entire body.

He gritted his teeth and persevered.

He stopped as evening fell and the sun dipped below the horizon, his clothes soaked through and his skin flushed red.

He was panting heavily, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction amidst the throbbing pain throughout his body.

In this world teeming with demons and fraught with danger, how can one survive without being ruthless to oneself?

Take a short rest.

He emerged from the woods, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and headed towards the town.

Today is the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, and there are still four days left.

Over the course of four days, he will practice this combination of boxing techniques and stellar energy until he is extremely proficient.

At the same time, continue to absorb the power of the stars to temper your body.

But tonight, he needs to get a good night's sleep.

He has slept very little these past few days, only seeming to rest briefly during his nighttime cultivation. Whether it was from the shock or the cultivation itself, he has not felt sleepy at all.

Now that he has finally broken through, he suddenly feels extremely tired and wants to take a long nap.

Thinking of the bride in the house, although he was still afraid, she clearly did not intend to take his life immediately, so he could sleep peacefully tonight.

The other party must have ulterior motives.

It's very likely that she would cause trouble during their wedding night, right after the wedding ceremony.

The book says that ordinary parasitic demons usually don't take people's lives indiscriminately. They only try to confuse people and then take the opportunity to absorb what they need to gradually strengthen themselves.

Could it be that the other party wanted to extract something from him during their wedding night?

As he was pondering this, he suddenly heard footsteps and voices coming from the road ahead.

A woman dressed in coarse cloth and leaning on a cane, and a burly man with a limp.

There was also a petite girl carrying something, dressed in a black dress.

The woman said with a beaming smile, "Young lady, you're such a kind person, with a heart of gold. You'll surely be rewarded. Other people wouldn't have helped us carry our things..."

"Alas, I am ill and weak all over, even walking is difficult for me. My son's legs are also not good, otherwise we wouldn't have troubled you, young lady, to take us..."

"It's just ahead, past the woods, that's where we'll stay..."

Luo Qingfeng continued walking forward.

The woman and the lame man both showed signs of tension and wariness when they saw him.

The petite girl kept her head down as she walked, looking dazed.

Her black dress was patched, and she looked dirty, but her appearance was extremely beautiful.

As Luo Qingfeng was observing, the burly, lame man suddenly glared at him fiercely with a murderous look in his eyes.

The woman with the cane also looked at him with a cold gaze.

As Luo Qingfeng brushed past the three, he suddenly turned and asked, "There's a graveyard beyond the woods ahead. Do people live there?"

The woman and the man suddenly stopped in their tracks.

The girl in the black dress, who looked dazed, continued carrying her things and walking forward with her head down.

After walking a few steps, she belatedly stopped, looked up, and stared blankly, as if she hadn't quite understood yet.
