Sorry, I don't play poker on luck

Five days later, at a martial arts gym in the city.

Boom!

Shi Li fell heavily to the ground.

"Get up and continue."

Except Thirteen's voice was unusually severe.

"Although Master, you have a natural magic weapon, but the basics are really poor."

"If you don't have enough skills, you can't get rid of demons just by strength."

In the past five days, they have done a lot of things.

The first one is to continue to investigate the monster incident in the market. The daytime investigation is handed over to the yamen servants. Except for Shisan, he will stand with the time when the moon is at its highest every night, and use the moon shadow technique to search.

However, the moon shadow technique is short-lived, and it can only be used for a few minutes every night, and it depends on the weather.

And the situation of the Beast Dog was similar. On the second night, it couldn't smell the evil spirit. It should be that after the big iron feather sparrow was killed, the mastermind behind the scene returned to the scene and did some tricks to hide the smell.

In short, they have basically gained nothing in the past few days.

So in the past few days, the main thing except Shisan is to conduct a series of investigations on Shili.

If you want to teach the skill of exorcising demons, you must first understand the person being taught, and what he does is for this.

The result is that what Shi Li needs to improve most now is the basic combat skills.

The basic skills of combat, to put it bluntly, are things like kung fu and agility.

"..."

Shi Li got up and rubbed the painful joints.

As a person who grew up in the peaceful era of Blue Star, he also knew that he had great shortcomings in fighting.

As the saying goes, if you can lay down some basic skills here, it will definitely help you a lot in the future.

Therefore, knowing this, he did not invite [Kung Fu Sheep and Rabbit] to his upper body, but planned to accept the training seriously.

"Actually, you may not know that this martial arts gym is owned by the Yaozu."

"That's why I specially found a Yaozu as your training partner, and it's just right for you to practice duel with him."

As Shisan said, he touched the sweat on his forehead.

The guy in front of him was very strong, and it took a lot of effort to bring him down once.

Train him yourself?

What a joke.

Occasionally it's okay to use two hands, but if you train for a long time, Chu Shisan thinks he can't bear it.

When it comes to physical fitness, the monster race must be stronger than the human race.

At this time, a tall man walked into the venue.

This person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face with square Chinese characters.

Walking on a smooth and steady, it looks quite heavy.

If it is normal, Shili will not pay too much attention.

But knowing in advance that the other party is a monster race, he felt that this person had a sense of disobedience that did not belong to human beings.

"This is the curator here, Master Shi, let's get to know each other."

Except Shisan patted Master Shi on the shoulder.

"You are here to practice against him today, and I will pick you up when I have dinner."

"Master Shi, be careful, this kid is hard to deal with."

After leaving a few words, he left.

"Hehehe, hello."

After Chu Shisan left, Master Shi extended his hand to Shi Li.

Shi Li held the opponent's hand, feeling like holding on to a rock.

"I heard that you are very strong."

Master Shi smiled and increased the strength of the handshake.

In fact, he didn't really believe in the words except thirteen.

In terms of strength, who are they the stone monsters are afraid of.

Being able to open a martial arts gym in the city is not something that can be done by just coming here.

What's more, he is not a human, but a demon.

It is absolutely impossible for a demon to open a martial arts gym in the human city without the approval of the demon mansion.

And the approval of the Demon Elimination Mansion itself represents a symbol of strength.

As the owner of this martial arts gym, Master Shi naturally has the corresponding strength and face.

Many young demon exorcisers have to greet him respectfully when they see him, with the strength and face.

But Shi Li didn't know each other well, so his face is invalid today.

He just felt the provocation, so he exerted strength on his hand.

(!)

The corner of Master Shi's mouth twitched violently, feeling that his hand was being squeezed so painfully.

"OK OK."

He smiled stiffly and quickly withdrew his hand, saying in amazement: "Are you sure you are a human race?"

This time, I kind of believed Chu Shisan's words.

"of course."

Shi Li spread his hands.

He is not only a human being, but also a noble poker player.

How can it be compared to you little evildoers.

"Okay, okay."

Master Shi took two steps back and began to look at the other party carefully.

"But strong hands don't mean other big things."

With that said, he began to undress.

The muscular upper body was exposed.

"Come on, let's break your wrists."

"?"

10 seconds later.

boom!

Master Shi's expression was slightly confused.

I obviously tried my best, but why do I feel that I can't resist the opponent's strength at all?

Suddenly, he realized that today might be a big day.

No wonder Chu Shisan entrusted himself to train this guy.

This ordinary person, oh no, the ordinary demon probably couldn't do anything to get him!

"Well, all right, you're fine."

After managing his expression, Master Shi put on a natural and calm look: "It seems that I want to show you the true form of the stone demon clan."

"oh?"

This sentence aroused Shi Li's curiosity to a certain extent.

Since entering the dungeon, I don't count the lustful flower demon who watched from a distance. I have only come into close contact with the iron feathered sparrow, and more of them are at the poker table.

So he was still a little interested in being able to get in close contact with monsters again.

"The Stone Monster Clan are all born warriors."

"But pretending to be a human model limits our performance."

As Master Shi said, he wiped the center of his chest with his hand.

The blindfold was removed, revealing a yellow talisman attached to the skin.

"Next, I will go all out to face you."

He tore off the yellow talisman.

clack la la...

Immediately afterwards, starting from the position where the yellow talisman was attached, Master Shi's skin began to petrify inch by inch.

In a blink of an eye, petrified colors spread all over his body.

"Is this your true form?"

"Yeah, I hope you're not intimidated."

"..., isn't it just that the skin of the whole body has turned into a stone color?"

Shi Li originally thought that the opponent's form would change, but now he can't help but feel a little disappointed.

It seems that this guy is much inferior to Lust Spark Demon and Iron Feather Big Sparrow.

However, Master Shi's next move did not disappoint him.

He raised his left foot and stomped on the ground.

boom!

The slate floor of the martial arts hall cracked under his trample.

"Wow, that's pretty cool."

Shi Li discovered that there was indeed something in this so-called true form.

If you want to change yourself, let alone whether you have enough strength to crack the stone slab, at least the soles of your feet are undoubtedly not that hard.

Ever since, the two sides came to open their posture and prepare to start.

"Can I use a magic weapon?"

Shi Li wanted to practice the stick technique.

"Hehe, please."

Master Shi disagreed.

This young man seems to be an apprentice of Chu Shisan, just an apprentice, and it is estimated that at most he can control some magic weapons that are too junior.

When the unpretentious jet-black iron rod was pulled out, he was completely relaxed, and he secretly said in his heart that it was true.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, this kind of magic weapon has little effect on our stone monster clan."

"The stone skin is already thick and hard, and the surface cannot be broken by knives, guns and sticks."

"If you want to deal with monster races like us, techniques are better than magic weapons."

"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

As he spoke, he stuck out his head.

Don't worry about it when you signal it, just smash it.

The other party's words have come to this point, of course it's hard for Shi Li to refuse.

Among other things, he is quite skilled at hitting the head with a stick.

I looked at the size and appearance of the other party, and then compared the contact just now.

Making an inappropriate horizontal comparison, the guy in front of him may be almost at the level of strengthening the beast.

Might be a little stronger than the Enhanced Beast, but not by much.

If he let himself strike again now, he would have the confidence to smash the heads of the strengthened beasts one after another.

Master Shi seems to have a strong physical defense. If he keeps his hand a little longer, there shouldn't be any problems.

So after thinking about it, Shi Li decided to use the kind of strength that would smash the head of an ordinary beast.

"You can just smash it at ease, but be careful not to hurt your hands by the recoil force."

At this time, Master Shi grinned again.

"Okay, then you should be careful."

Shi Li also fulfilled him, raised his hand and knocked down with a stick.

Clang!

Sure enough, this feeling is harder than strengthening the beast.

Shi Li secretly said in his heart.

But how did he know that Master Shi at this moment, from the moment he was hit, his heart was full of turmoil.

You must know that some monsters have similar body structures to humans. For example, humans have a blood circulation system, and they have a monster energy circulation system.

It's just that blood is liquid, while the circulation of evil spirit is gas.

The effect is also very similar, the circulation of monster energy will flow to every inch of the monster clan's body, sending energy to them.

Therefore, it can be said that the importance of monster energy to monster race is comparable to the importance of blood to human beings.

But now, Master Shi felt that an inexplicable force was forcibly poured in from Tianling Gai, and then reversed and pushed back his own demonic energy.

As the curator of the martial arts gym, he often competes with others on weekdays.

Among them are some exorcists.

He has tried a lot of magic tools and spells.

But this is the first time I have encountered such a weird and terrifying situation!

"Master Stone?"

Seeing the other party not moving, Shi Li wondered if he had acted too hard.

Then he saw that under his call, Master Shi raised his head with a frightened expression.

Crack!

But just as Master Shi was about to speak, a stone crack spread from the corner of his mouth.

One, two, three...

More and more cracks spread over his body like a spider web, and they are still extending and deepening.

Boom!

In just a few seconds, Shi Li saw that the other party's whole body was cracked, and finally turned into pieces of gravel and fell to the ground.

"??!!"

He never expected that the iron rod with immortal energy would be so powerful.

Now that he killed the spirit demon by mistake as soon as he made a move, how should this end?

Just when Shi Li was in a daze, he didn't expect that the pile of stones on the ground would actually speak.

"You, you, what magic weapon are you?"

A closer look reveals that one of them has Master Shi's mouth on it.

"Are you alright?"

Shi Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you see how I think I'm fine?!"

Master Shi's tone was not kind.

Fortunately, their stone monsters are born with special physiques. When their lives are in danger, they can disintegrate themselves into pieces to offset the damage.

Otherwise, he suspected that the stick just now might really knock himself to death!

"Then... shall I get you a doctor?"

Shi Li hesitated.

"This is not something a doctor can treat!"

"Then...the plasterer?"

"No, we can't just expose it in front of ordinary people."

Master Shi couldn't move at all right now, so he could only say: "Well, I'll give you a formula, and you can find a handyman in my martial arts gym to bring back ten catties of potion."

Two hours later, Shili returned with a large bucket of brown special mud.

Master Shi's body fragments were still scattered everywhere, and he didn't move during the whole process, silently watching his return.

"What's the matter..."

Looking at this scene, he shook his head helplessly.

"Are you back? Quickly, come and stick me back together!"

Hearing footsteps approaching, Master Shi couldn't wait.

"The medicinal materials in your formula, we have traveled all over the city and there are not many stores that sell them."

"It's all searched, and it's only the weight of a bucket."

Shi Li distinguished that the piece of gravel was the part of the opponent's eyes, and shook the bucket in his hand towards him.

"This amount should be barely enough."

"Come on, follow my instructions, first put me together on the ground, and after confirming that it is correct, pour the potion on it to glue it together."

So under the direction of Master Shi, Shi Li began to compare and assemble his body like a jigsaw puzzle.

It took half an hour to finally put this stone guy together.

"Perfect."

Looking at the stone puzzle figure on the ground, Shi Li expressed his satisfaction with his masterpiece.

"You must check it carefully, don't miss a single piece."

Master Shi exhorted with a little worry.

Hearing his words, Shi Li glanced to the side.

There were more than a dozen unused stone fragments piled up in a small pyramid shape.

"No wonder I said, it always feels like something is missing. It turns out that you have become shorter."

He snapped his fingers.

"..."

Master Shi said in his heart that fortunately he reminded him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

This time, Shi Li added all the remaining stones into it.

"OK, there are no missing materials this time, it's absolutely perfect."

"you sure?"

"Well, just a little bit more."

"???"

In the end, after repeated discussions between the two parties, the reset version of Master Shi was finally finalized.

"Remember, you must be fast + accurate. The potion will take effect and solidify soon after it is poured on me, so every crack must be taken care of."

"And there's only one chance."

Master Shi still remembered that Shi Li said that there were no medicinal materials in the city.

Then it means that in the short term, the potion cannot be dispensed with a second barrel.

"I'll take care of things, don't worry."

Shi Li showed a serious look and nodded.

Then he threw the bucket at the other party.

Crash!

The brown mud poured out, spilling over the Jigsaw Man and covering it completely.

"Ahhh, my body is so itchy, I'm going to grow my body!!!"

Accompanied by Master Shi's strange shout, Shi Li saw a faint light start to emanate from the cracks in the stones.

After about 3 minutes, the light began to gradually weaken.

When they completely receded, I immediately saw that all the gaps had really disappeared.

A intact stone man appeared in front of him.

"Huh, finally recovered."

Master Shi climbed up with relief.

"No, why does it feel like I'm getting shorter?"

But immediately, he noticed something strange.

"I followed what you said, there is not a single stone missing."

Shi Li quickly separated the relationship.

"Why are my hands so long!"

Master Shi exclaimed again.

My arms hang down, almost touching the ground!

"It seems a little long for you to say that."

Shi Li scratched his cheek.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Then Master Shi clutched his waist again and knelt down on the ground.

The excruciating pain caused bean-sized drops of sweat to secrete from his stone forehead.

This kind of symptom is very familiar to him as a stone monster.

Some are similar to those of the human race - kidney stones.

Fortunately, I am a stone demon, and I have a good ability to control stones.

Master Shi urged Yaoqi to treat himself quickly.

Ten seconds later, he opened his mouth.

Crash.

A few fragments of floor tiles the size of a finger fell out of his mouth.

"What is this, can you explain?"

"Didn't I just say that there are only a lot of materials, that... I'm sorry, ahaha..."

"Forget it, at least you didn't misspell the eyes and mouth."

Master Shi shook his head helplessly.

"We have wasted so much time in vain, let's start sparring."

"But your magic weapon is too powerful, so you have to put it away temporarily."

Cracking his fists, he approached Shili step by step.

...

Twenty days passed just like that.

During these twenty days, Shi Li's life rhythm is the same every day.

Sleep in the morning, go to the martial arts gym in the afternoon to practice, and then go to the casino with Chu Shisan at night, and start searching for traces of monsters after leaving the casino.

It's a pity that it should be the matter of Tie Yu Da Que that aroused the vigilance and precautions of the black hand behind the scenes. During this time, they did not find any clues.

On the other hand, in terms of boxing skills, Shi Li made a lot of progress.

Master Shi seemed to have a special enthusiasm for him, and he tried his best every time he practiced.

From the beginning of being abused to pieces, until now he has barely been able to parry for a while before starting to run away. He seems to be a bit talented in this regard.

For such a result, except Thirteen knows that it is already very good.

With bare hands, he can go through a dozen or so moves under the hands of the Stone Monster Clan. Not every demon extermination person can reach this level.

This day was the same as usual, Shi Li had just finished sparring.

After Shi Shishi, whose body has been reorganized and restored to its original state, gave him the medicine, except Thirteen came to pick him up on time.

"Master, you may have to test your practice results tonight."

This time, the path he took with Shi Li was not the usual path to the casino.

"Oh? Have you found the source of the recent monster?"

Shi Li frowned.

I have been stuck in the 6th stage of this task for more than 20 days, and now I finally have a clue.

"uncertain."

Except Shisan was noncommittal, and said with a serious expression: "Anyway, tonight, we will get rid of the demon."

...

...
