Chapter 9 Internal training and external hammering, rapid progress
The sudden introduction of the Chunyang Golden Bell made Zhong Chao puzzled. Just when he was confused, Jiang Liang's slapping started again.
Seeing this, Zhong Chao could only put down the doubts in his heart, stare at the boiling kettle, inhale and hold his breath, and let the two of them beat each other.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
They were both people who were used to doing odd jobs. The two of them were very strong. They slapped Zhong Chao's body until it turned red. They quickly slapped his whole body. At this moment, the duration of the steam turbine happened to end.
It's not that they beat Zhong Chao over and over within three minutes. The main reason was that he was only beaten and didn't make moves such as leaping or jumping, so his energy consumption was not intense.
You know, when he hit the big tree just now, he had to take three breaths before he could practice the golden bell cover once.
"It's good to help each other. Having these companions saves me at least half of my time."
After sighing, Zhong Chao also looked at the data panel.
After each training session, he would look at it again - the visible and tangible progress would cheer him up and give him endless motivation.
But watching this time, Zhong Chao was stunned.
[Steam Turbine·1: 3 Realm Mastery (218/3000)]
There is nothing to say about this. Looking at the steam intuitively allows him to increase his proficiency by 3 points in one practice.
What shocked him was the pure Yang golden bell.
Logically speaking, the stronger the skill, the slower the progress will be. However, this skill was completely beyond his expectation.
[Pure Yang Golden Bell: Introduction to Level 1 (6/000)]
"6???6-1=5, one practice increases proficiency by 5 points, how is that possible?"
"Am I a genius in hard skills?"
Full of ecstasy and disbelief echoed in Zhong Chao's heart. After a long time, he calmed down and slowly thought of the reason.
"heat!"
"The Pure Yang Golden Bell is different from the ordinary Golden Bell. The ordinary Golden Bell only exercises the fascia, skin and muscles. The Pure Yang Golden Bell prevents Yuan Yang from leaking, thereby allowing Yang Qi to accumulate in the body.
Yang Qi nourishes and exercises the internal organs.”
"This kind of internal and external practitioners is also the reason why the power of the Pure Yang Golden Bell has reached a high level."
"Yang energy can be exercised, and the heat brought by steam can also be exercised."
Specifically, the golden bell treats people as iron. The ordinary level golden bell is hammered by external force to make the iron stronger.
The pure Yang gold bell cover is burned with flame (Yang energy) on one side and beaten with a hammer on both sides to remove iron impurities and turn it into steel, making it stronger.
Now, Zhong Chao's steam turbine has replaced Yang Qi in some respects.
And because the level of the steam turbine has reached mastery, the blazing effect is 3. Using this 'huge' firepower to temper the entry-level pure Yang golden bell, the effect is extraordinary.
"The steam turbine can actually speed up the cultivation of the Pure Yang Golden Bell, and the effect is so great. It's flying. It's really going to take off this time!"
"Perhaps it won't take more than ten years, three years, or even two years, before I can cultivate the pure Yang Qi from the Pure Yang Golden Bell."
…
The two exercises can be practiced at the same time and can achieve mutual success. This makes Zhong Chao feel endless ecstasy and makes his practice more motivated.
Under internal burning and external forging, his proficiency in the golden bell has been continuously improved.
And soon, he discovered another thing that made him ecstatic.
The practice of steam turbine requires Zhong Chao to hold his breath to the limit. When the power is low, he can hold his breath for fifteen minutes at a time. In other words, it takes fifteen minutes to complete one reincarnation.
But now, when someone slaps him, the power of the steam in his belly will be consumed very quickly, and he will be on the verge of reaching his limit within seven or eight minutes.
This can be considered a cycle.
"It's cool. A cycle can be completed in such a short time. I also shortened the time for the steam turbine to explode."
At this moment, watching the progress of the two exercises in the data panel improving every moment, Zhong Chao felt happy.
Unfortunately, this happiness did not last long.
After practicing several times... Zhong Chao felt weak and hungry.
"Cultivation has accelerated, and consumption has also increased..."
Food for registered disciples is not unlimited, especially at night.
Fortunately, Jiang Liang's job as a handyman disciple for so many years was not in vain. Food is also a part of the handyman's work.
Sensing his hunger, he got some brown rice through a special doorway.
After being cooked, it actually makes you feel less hungry.
What Zhong Chao didn't know was that Jiang Liang felt that his doubts had been solved.
"I see, the boss already knows that he will be hungry, so he boils water to cook rice... Even the time interval is too long, it is enough to cook it now."
…
Ignoring these, although the hunger in my belly disappeared, the physical fatigue could not be relieved.
This forced Zhong Chao to sit on the ground and rest, wondering if there was a way to quickly relieve his fatigue.
This time Jiang Liang was not needed, Zhong Chao came up with one himself.
"Huoxue Powder!"
This is a medicinal soup with ginseng as the main ingredient, which can replenish a large amount of Qi and blood for warriors and quickly recover from fatigue.
While working as a handyman in the kitchen, Zhong Chao saw many prosperous martial arts disciples who, when they were tired, would regain their vitality after a bowl of live blood was poured out.
However, when he thought of the solution, Zhong Chao's face turned very ugly. As for the reason:
"Huoxue Powder, a bowl of 5 cents of silver..."
Without medicine, just relying on himself and brown rice, Zhong Chao didn't regain his energy until eleven o'clock at night.
Then, with his energy restored, he trained several times in a row, and then he was so tired that he became paralyzed again.
After reluctantly washing himself with cold water, Zhong Chao climbed into bed and fell asleep.
"Go to sleep, you won't be tired when you wake up tomorrow."
Zhong Chao went to bed expecting to be in good spirits the next day, but a huge 'surprise' hit him the next day.
…
"Hey, it hurts!"
Early the next morning, Zhong Chao was awakened by pain all over his body.
No one attacked or beat him. The pain was the aftereffect of practicing the Golden Bell Mask last night.
"Fuck, I forgot about this!"
Muscles will feel sore after strenuous exercise. Zhong Chao was beaten several times last night, so the pain was naturally even worse.
What bothered him even more was that this kind of injury naturally could not be hammered externally.
For physical injuries, it either takes a long time to recover naturally, or it needs to be cured with medicine. The latter... costs money, a lot of money.
"I only have three taels of silver pattern...wait a minute, those three taels of silver pattern are not for our cultivation at all, they are for healing injuries."
Zhong Chao was horrified to discover something. Although he would get injured during training, he could still control it. When sparring with others, the rich and powerful people on the opposite side would not care about a small registered disciple. Therefore, he participated in the sparring.
If one is not good, he may even be disabled.
"No wonder the coach asked me to reserve half of the silver. If I don't reserve this thing, people will die."
Thinking like this, Zhong Chao did not dare to hesitate and informed the other people in the room about the matter despite his sore body.
"Well, if one or two halves cannot be used, then we only have one or two halves of silver. What can we do with it?"
"It's not one or two and a half. We've just started the game, so please leave me two taels of silver... I've already warned you before. If you don't have money to treat your injuries due to lack of preparation, I won't care about you!"
Zongsheng: "Okay, if you leave two liang, just keep two liang."
Di Hua: "You are awesome, I will listen to you."
Jiang Liang: "Three taels of silver, I won't move a penny."
