Pushing martial arts horizontally: starting from depriving the mantis shrimp of its talent

Chapter 3 Juli Soup

At noon, everyone who had been practicing with stone locks all morning finally stopped to rest for a while. Chen Cheng felt pain all over his body and couldn't help but rub his body with his hands.

But the more you knead it, the more sour it becomes.

Just then, a maid came in carrying two wooden buckets.

Upon seeing this, all the students stood up quickly and lined up consciously.

The maid took out a bowl from one barrel and scooped out a bowl of dark brown medicinal soup from another barrel.

It has been more than 50 years since the Gravel Boxing Gym was founded. It has not closed its doors for so many years, which is naturally a bit mysterious.

And this decoction is one of them.

This medicinal soup is called Juli Decoction. After drinking it, it can not only speed up the recovery of sore muscles, but also improve the ability to recruit muscles and indirectly increase strength.

Every student who paid money could get a bowl.

Chen Cheng finished the bowl of Juli Soup and smacked his lips, feeling like drinking Wanglaoji herbal tea.

After drinking the soup, the morning boxing practice came to an end, and it was noon. Some people called their friends to go out to restaurants together, and those who stayed close to each other ran home to eat.

People like Chen Cheng who had no money and were far away from home had no choice but to take out the dry food they brought and drink cold water.

"The newly filled energy has been consumed, but I already have a talent spell, so there is no need to activate the second one immediately."

"So, all the energy can be used to improve the body, not just relying on these foods."

"To practice martial arts, you have to eat meat!"

"It's time to make money."

Chen Cheng sighed.

Half an hour later, Chen Cheng finished all the dry food, stood up and moved around, and found that the pain in his body had almost completely disappeared.

"Although Juli Decoction has an effect, it is definitely not that obvious. According to past experience, the recovery speed has been increased by at least three times."

Every day, the Gravel Boxing Gym is open for two hours at this time. In addition to letting the students eat, it is also to let the Juli Soup work.

By the time two hours passed, the soreness in the morning had almost disappeared, and I could continue training hard in the afternoon.

"It should be the function of [Infinite Split] in the mantis shrimp spell."

In the evening, Chen Cheng returned home and took out the old turtle that was wandering leisurely in the water tank. When the old turtle stretched its neck to bite him, he immediately picked up the knife and chopped off his head with one blow.

Then it's time to disembowel it, clean it, put it on a plate, and steam it in a pot.

The whole process went smoothly, and soon the old turtle, who was still full of energy before, became a dish on the table.

After eating, Chen Cheng came to the bed and moved the bed away, exposing the wall near the head of the bed.

He carefully picked off a piece, turned around, and took out an oil paper bag from the wall.

After stuffing the bricks back and returning the bed to its original state, Chen Cheng opened the oil paper bag.

There were more than a dozen silver corners in the oil paper bag, about 15 taels.

Although he has been working as a coolie at the dock carrying sandbags for the past year, he will never make so much money.

After he made some money carrying sandbags for a year, he used the money to start a small business in Beicheng.

But before he earned much, gang members came to him smelling money. At that time, he had no capital to bargain with gangs.

But if you can’t afford to offend, can you still afford to hide?He immediately stopped that business and relied on the money he earned to pay the entrance fee for the Gravel Boxing Gym. Since then, he has never been to Beicheng.

Beicheng is a rich area, and its construction and business are much better than the other three places. Chen Cheng's first business was to make money by using muddy water to make brown sugar into white sugar in his previous life "Tiangong Kaiwu".

This business can be said to be very profitable. I heard that a gang in Beicheng is still looking for him.

Chen Cheng took out this money just to improve his life.

Instead of leaving your money to mold, you might as well switch to meat to strengthen yourself.

A large amount of money was spent in exchange for sufficient nutrition. After ensuring the meat diet, Chen Cheng's originally thin figure gradually became fuller.

Two months later, Chen Cheng put down a fifty-kilogram stone lock and left his upper body naked. Drops of sweat flowed down the cracks between his towering chest muscles and onto his abdominal muscles.

Beside him, several students who were at the same time as him couldn't help but keep looking over, hesitating to speak.Senior Brother Ma De came over after instructing other veteran students and came to Chen Cheng's side with eyes full of admiration.

"Not bad. After two months of practice, I finally look good."

"What did you eat, kid? Why do you grow so fast?"

Mad asked curiously, and the new students around him pricked up their ears. What Mad asked was what they had always wanted to know.

Chen Cheng wiped his sweat and said with a smile
"I just increased my meat intake normally. The reason I was able to grow so fast is probably because I didn't have enough nutrition before, so I grew explosively after getting enough nutrients."

This statement is somewhat reliable, and Mad nodded.

Chen Cheng knew in his heart that although what he said was right, it was only part of the reason.

Part of it is indeed supplementing nutrition, and the other part is due to the mantis shrimp charm.

The [Infinite Splitting] ability in the mantis shrimp meets the body's desire for nutritional growth, just like an adulterer meets Viagra, and the flames become stronger and stronger.

At this time, a large amount of meat was added, and the adulterer met the adulterer, and the fire was out of control.

This resulted in Chen Chengcheng growing from a small bean sprout measuring 1.5 meters tall and weighing no more than 1.7 kilograms to a hunk [-] meters tall, weighing [-] pounds, and covered in fat and muscle in just two months.

This growth rate is faster than that of a sow eating clenbuterol.

The height of 1.7 meters is not bad in this world where per capita nutrition is insufficient.

You must know that the recruitment requirement for the Yinyue Dynasty where Chen Cheng is located is to be at least 1.6 meters tall.

Those who are above 1.6 meters and [-] meters are considered excellent soldiers.

Facing his body that was swelling as if he had taken hormones, Chen Cheng was not worried at all.

This is just puberty. After puberty, the growth rate will naturally slow down.

"By the way, how old are you this year?"

Mader asked.

"You'll be 16 years old after this month."

Chen Cheng replied honestly.

"16 years old, that's normal."

"Don't relax. At your age, qi and blood are most active. Eat more meat and exercise more, and qi and blood will be generated faster."

"When the human body passes the age of 35, the rate of qi and blood production slows down."

"Qi and blood are closely related to body strength. If the speed of qi and blood production slows down, the current muscle strength will not be maintained, and the muscles will also degrade to a level that matches qi and blood."

"So, before the age of 35, you must be brave and diligent, eat to death, and practice to death!"

Ma De patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder to encourage him, and then turned to teach other students.

After Ma De left, Chen Cheng went to the well, fetched a bucket of water, and wiped the sweat from his body with a towel.

In the past two months, not only had his height and muscles grown, but the biggest change was in his arms.

Although he only looks a little more muscular, which is very average compared to other veteran students, his strength is not at the same level at all.

"I'm afraid that the strength of my arms now is about the same as those of the inner disciples who have reached the realm of cowhide in their gravel fists."

Chen Cheng thought secretly.

In the past two months, the transformation of him by the mantis shrimp spell has come to an end. His eyes have evolved again from the previous 1080P to 4K.

[Infinite Split] gave him a recovery speed and regeneration ability that were beyond ordinary people.

But the [unparalleled punching power] that Chen Cheng was initially interested in proved to be ineffective.

"If that's the case, it would be a bit of a disservice to the mantis shrimp's most famous talent."

Chen Cheng finished wiping his body and put on his clothes.
