Good fortune: I can manifest endless talents

Chapter 28
"Hello, shopkeeper, I am a disciple of Master Qin from the martial arts academy. Master Qin asked me to come to you to buy a pair of hard-soled cowhide boots."

Seeing the female shopkeeper wake up, Gu Yang immediately looked away and told the purpose of his visit.

Then, he explained, "I have been looking at you just now, and I also wanted to ask you if you are the shopkeeper of this shop, but I saw that you were taking a nap, so I didn't bother to disturb you."

As he spoke, he lifted the cloth bag in his hand and placed it on the counter of the shop.

"This is ten pounds of black tiger meat. Master Qin said that the black tiger meat can be used to pay for the purchase of boots."

"Qin Hu? Isn't he bringing in new people? How come he has a disciple as old as you?"

The female shopkeeper stood up and walked over to Gu Yang, opened the cloth bag, took out the frozen black tiger meat and looked at it carefully for a few times, then raised her head, pointed a finger at a chair against the wall, and said : "Sit over and take off your shoes."

"I am a villager near Mangshan. Last month..." Gu Yang briefly explained his situation, then sat down on the chair quickly and took off his shoes.

"Oh, interesting little guy." As she spoke, the female shopkeeper walked back into the room and took out a soft ruler to measure the size.

Although he didn't know whether the female shopkeeper was his 'wife', Gu Yang was certain that she must be a professional shoemaker.

In just a short while, the female shopkeeper measured the size of Gu Yang's feet.

"Come and pick up the shoes in three days." After telling Gu Yang again, the female shopkeeper carried the bag of black tiger meat into the back room of the shop.

Gu Yang nodded and took note, then stood up and left immediately.

But before he walked out of the door, he was called back by the female shopkeeper, "Here, here is the change for you."

Looking at the two taels of silver the other party threw on the counter, Gu Yang was puzzled and asked, "Change for me?"

"Yes, ten pounds of black tiger meat costs five taels of silver, and a pair of hard-soled cowhide boots costs three taels of silver, so is it abnormal to give you a price difference of two taels?" the female shopkeeper said calmly.

"Oh, it's normal, thank you, shopkeeper..."

Gu Yang felt very complicated as he grabbed the silver on the counter and held it tightly in his hand.

Ten kilograms of tiger meat costs five taels of silver, and twenty kilograms is equivalent to ten taels.

When he took the bag of black tiger meat from Qin Hu, it was only the second day after he entered the martial arts academy.

"The favor is too great." Gu Yang muttered to himself, and said hello to the female shopkeeper again before turning around and leaving.

……

The sun rises and the morning fog fills the air.

In the martial arts training ground, all the disciples were practicing sparring. Only Gu Yang in the corner was concentrating on practicing the blood-nourishing pile technique, and no one dared to disturb him.

Ever since Gu Yang defeated Xia Houji with seven punches the day before yesterday, no one in the entire square dared to spar with him anymore.

It’s nothing but him, I just don’t want to be abused.

"breathe……"

Adjusting the breathing rhythm, matching the movements of fists and kicks, and the rhythm of the body, Gu Yang's physical strength was rapidly passing by as the pile skills unfolded.

"Bang~"

The toes of his right foot exerted force and stepped heavily on the ground. The dark blue cowhide short boots on his feet were not deformed or twisted at all.

Movements changed one after another. Two quarters of an hour later, a complete set of pile exercises was completed. Gu Yang finally put away his stance, inhaled and stood upright.

[Skill 'Nourishing Pile' proficiency +1]

At this time, seven days had passed since he went to Sanyuanfang to buy leather boots.

Four days ago, after he got the leather boots, he put them on directly.

I have to say that three taels of silver are really worth it.

Compared with the previous cloth shoes, in addition to being far more comfortable on the soles of the feet, the quality of the leather boots was also completely beyond his imagination.

This kind of dark blue cowhide is definitely not taken from ordinary farm cattle or beef cattle. It is more likely to be some kind of ferocious beast, so that it can withstand the explosive power of the warrior's feet.

A ferocious beast refers specifically to a beast whose combat power is comparable to that of a warrior.In the stories passed down from mouth to mouth in Houshan Village, there are ferocious beasts deep in Mang Mountain, but those ferocious beasts live deep in the mountains, far away from the gathering places of human beings, and ordinary people will never see them in their lifetime.

"call……"

With a soft breath, white mist turned into white mist in the air. Gu Yang closed his eyes and looked at the stars ahead.

[Skills: Blood Nourishing Pile·Small Success (181/200); Mosasaurus Dance·Small Success (95/1000)]

[Talent: vitality emerges, power surges. 】

During these seven days, Li Zhiwu no longer came to him for sparring, so he spent most of his time practicing the Blood Nourishing Pile Kung Fu.

With the desire for power, Gu Yang practiced extremely hard.

According to past experience, military food pills can completely support the body's nutrient consumption caused by a three-day practice of a martial artist.

But Gu Yang managed to completely digest one military grain pill in more than two and a half days.

From this point, we can see how hard he has practiced during this period.

It can be said that throughout the whole day, except for occasionally practicing the mosasaurus dance movements for a while to relax the spirit, the rest of the time I was practicing the blood-nourishing pile skill.

No matter day or night, whether in the martial arts academy or at home, you can see him practicing Zhuang Kung Fu.

And it was in this crazy state that Gu Yang was able to advance his proficiency in the Nourishing Pile Technique to the current level in just seven days.

The proficiency level has increased to 90.00%, and within two days, the pile skill will be able to break through again!

……

"Gu Yang, spar with me again!"

Suddenly, Li Zhiwu's voice sounded, and Gu Yang suddenly opened his eyes and looked to his side.

"I just challenged Xiahou Ji, and I defeated him with only seven punches. Now, I am no weaker than you!"

At this moment, Li Zhiwu's eyes were full of fighting spirit and confidence.

Obviously, during these seven days of 'disappearance', he was definitely not idle and must have spent it in penance.

"Okay." Looking at Li Zhiwu who was so confident, Gu Yang did not refuse.

but……

"You can't have less money!" Gu Yang added with a smile.

"Okay, no problem." Li Zhiwu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, "Come on."

The two distanced themselves again and stood facing each other.

This time Li Zhiwu didn't even say hello, he kicked off the ground and rushed directly towards Gu Yang.

"It's interesting." Gu Yang narrowed his eyes, took a step forward, and took the initiative to meet him.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

In just the blink of an eye, the two collided four or five times.

"Li Zhiwu must have made breakthroughs in boxing and footwork." In just the initial exchange, Gu Yang noticed that his opponent had made great progress.

His strength has increased a lot, and his boxing and footwork are much more refined than in previous fights.

But, it's not enough!
"boom!"

With one punch, Li Zhiwu staggered back, and finally sat down on the bluestone floor.

Gu Yang just stood there and watched him retreat step by step without pursuing him.

Raising his head suddenly, Li Zhiwu looked at Gu Yang and asked in disbelief: "How is it possible? How can you be so strong? Didn't you also use seven punches to defeat Xiahou Ji?"
