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

Chapter 47 You Can't Survive Without Fighting
Seeing that Chen Cheng wanted to ask more questions, Zou Hongxiu quickly took out a plate of banknotes from his arms, counted out a few and stuffed them over, blocking Chen Cheng's mouth.

Seeing the banknote, Chen Cheng's curiosity suddenly disappeared.

Putting the remaining thick stack of banknotes back into his arms, Chen Cheng's suppressed curiosity rose again.

Judging from the thickness just now, there may be more than 3000 taels left.

Seeing Chen Cheng's gaze, Zou Hongxiu immediately covered his chest and said warily
"This isn't money from selling drugs, at least not entirely."

"This is all the hard-earned money I earned through hard work during this period."

After hearing what he said, Chen Cheng immediately understood that this should be the room rate he earned.

Chen Cheng withdrew his gaze, patted the banknote under his chest, and felt a sense of confidence rising from his heart.

"With this money, we can buy more meat and medicinal materials from Ningjin Prescription."

"It's not in vain that I sacrificed my appearance some time ago to satisfy the appetite of Miss Yuxianglou."

With money, Chen Cheng felt that he could make such sacrifices again.

"Make money, it's not shabby."

The next day, when Chen Cheng was about to go out of the city early in the morning, he was blocked by a group of people at the door.

Several disciples guarding the door were about to come over immediately, but Chen Cheng stretched out his hand to signal him not to do so, because the person who blocked him was Huang Gui, the second housekeeper of the Huang family last time.

"Butler Huang, it's been such a long time."

Facing Huang Gui, who was followed by several servants carrying gifts, Chen Cheng showed great enthusiasm.

Huang Gui came up and apologized with a smile.
"Brother Chen is blaming me for not coming earlier."

"The main reason is that the business in the house is too busy during this period. I didn't know that Brother Chen, you have become a first-blood warrior."

"No, as soon as I have free time, the little old man will come to apologize."

Huang Gui waved his hand, and the servant behind him showed the gift in his hand.

Chen Cheng was very generous when he saw the gift Huang Gui brought.

Huang Gui took the opportunity to say
"Since Brother Chen has gained first blood, the monthly payment discussed before is a bit low. How about quadrupling the original amount. Thirty pounds of meat per month and 300 taels of monthly silver. How about that?"

Although I already have a monthly income of 800 taels from the Wheel-turning Pill, who would think it’s too much money?

Chen Cheng checked the contract that Huang Gui took out from his pocket and found that only the treatment had changed, and everything else was the same as last time, so he signed it on the spot.

Seeing Chen Cheng sign the contract, Huang Gui breathed a sigh of relief and said

"Actually, I came here today to ask for something else."

"Oh? Butler Huang, just say so."

Chen Cheng knew that his life of only receiving wages and not working during this period would probably come to an end.

Huang Gui stroked his beard and said:
"After some time, there will be a batch of jade brocade that will be sent to Huaiyang Mansion."

"From Wangjiang to Huaiyang Mansion, you can start by water at the beginning, but there are still about two hundred miles to go by land, and most of them are mountain roads."

"Some time ago, Huaiyang Mansion was not at peace. Some miners secretly mined silver. The staff of Huaiyang Mansion was ordered to hunt them down, but they were accidentally beaten to death by the miners."

"So these miners had no choice but to rebel, and in one moment they raised over [-] troops."

"Although they have been suppressed, there are still some thieves scattered in the mountains and forests, so for the safety of this batch of goods, I want all the heroes to escort them."

"Moreover, this escort mission is not free, and there will be additional money."

Chen Chengbai had taken the meat and money from the Huang family for so long. It was difficult to refuse at this time, so he nodded and asked

"When will we leave? I can arrange other things."

"In five days, we will meet at the West Gate in the morning." "Okay, I will arrive on time in five days."

Watching Huang Gui leave, Chen Cheng placed the things he sent in his room in the boxing gym, and then walked to the winery outside the city.

Four days later in the evening, Chen Cheng came out of the wine cellar, looked at the flaming clouds on the horizon, and licked his lips.

"Want to drink tea."

Just now, he had connected the blood lines of the three arms to the network. With a thought, he could gather the power accumulated in the three arms into one point.

This aspect is actually somewhat different from the original Hunyuan Ruyi Body.

The original version of Hunyuan Ruyi Body constructs a blood line network in the newly formed membrane under the skin.

The function of these networks is to divide the power of external blows and hope to collect them and fight them back again.

It’s not that the person who created this technique didn’t want to directly construct a network of blood lines in flesh and blood, just like Qi and blood.

However, the difficulty of constructing on a specially generated membrane and constructing in flesh and blood are completely different from each other.

The blood line network constructed in the epidermis also has the function of gathering the strength of the whole body, but it can only transport the force of a thin layer of muscles close to the epidermis, and the deeper muscles cannot transport it.

If you follow the original method, it will be impossible to achieve the effect Chen Cheng needs.

But after Chen Cheng discovered the efficacy of purple jade eggplant, he modified the technique. After taking purple jade eggplant, the flesh and blood will be more eager to integrate the characteristics of foreign substances, and the condensed blood lines will be inserted into the muscles.

In this way, the accumulated power can be used faster and more fully without affecting the operation of the accumulating muscles.

The original method constructed a curved network, but Chen Cheng transformed it into a three-dimensional one.

This has many benefits, it is equivalent to constructing a second force transport network, but the disadvantage is that it requires more energy and blood.

Chen Cheng could only modify the muscles of three arms to accumulate strength in a short period of time. As for the other parts, he did not have time or enough energy and blood to do it.

"I have a hunch that if the Hunyuan Ruyi body that I transformed is really covered with a network of blood lines from the inside to the outside, then I can be able to follow my heart."

"This is a realm that only Nine Blood Warriors can achieve!"

Although the blood line network that fills the whole body may require hundreds of times more energy and blood than has been consumed so far, we still have to have dreams.

Not long after, in a familiar dark alley, Chen Cheng, wearing an ordinary outfit, looked towards the Feilong Boxing Gym.

Because of being sought revenge by an unknown enemy who was suspected of being the owner of the gym, Feilong Boxing took the initiative to shrink its strength and gave up a lot of territory. Therefore, the current Feilong Boxing Gym is also in a lot of decline.

Listening to the shouts of martial arts practice coming from the boxing gym, Chen Cheng took a deep breath.

"From the beginning, I just wanted to become an ordinary warrior, make a little fortune, and live a peaceful and comfortable life."

"But the world is too malicious to me."

"First it was the Flying Fish Gang, then the Blackwater Gang, and then the terrifying demons appeared."

"By the time the people from Feilong Fist show up, I will already be exhausted."

"But you have to repay the favor. Tomorrow I will escort the Huang family's caravan to Huaiyang Mansion."

"But after I left, only a group of old and weak people were left in the boxing gym. Ding Zhuo's power is too strong. If he is left alone, it will definitely bring disaster to the boxing gym."

"Ever since I awakened the memories of my past life, my experiences over the years have told me that I cannot survive without fighting."

"For the future of my sect and to protect the smiles of my brothers, I have decided!"

"I want to destroy Feilong Boxing Gym."

After being mentally prepared, Chen Cheng felt as if he was enveloped in a holy light, his eyes gradually became firmer, he pulled off the dragon head mask he bought casually on his head, walked out of the dark alley, and strode toward the door of Feilong Fist.
