Another half a month passed,
Chen Yi was on a small boat in Spirit Mist Lake, having just finished a pot of rice porridge and a pot of turtle soup. With his stomach warmed and his vitality and blood rioted like a rainbow, every action contained an explosive strength.
Chen Yi rose to his feet, assumed the pose of the Vajra Fist, and began practicing the method.
More than a month ago, he was able to push his Vitality and Blood Power to persist through the entire set of Vajra Fist routines.
At that time, his skin had achieved the toughness of cowhide. Chen Yi knew that he had achieved the Completion of Early Mingjin Stage.
In the past half a month, Chen Yi did not rush to break through. Instead, he kept his mind stable, constantly practiced martial arts, and ate nourishing food to strengthen his Vitality and Blood Power.
Today, he was fortunate to catch a turtle bigger than a dinner plate, an absolute great nourishing food.
After eating, sure enough, a warmth several times richer than usual rose up steadily from within his body.
Chen Yi stood on the boat, letting the waves ripple. He slowly and firmly practiced his Vajra Fist routines.
After one round, he was all hot and sweaty, and his Vitality and Blood were churning and surging.
He didn't stop but continued into the second round.
By the time he finished his fourth round, Chen Yi's Vitality and Blood were surging; he had released Mingjin strength 144 times.
Suddenly, Chen Yi had a flash of insight, feeling as if the power of his Vitality and Blood were almost exhausted.
Chen Yi started the fifth round of Vajra Fist practice.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Chen Yi punched into the air, his clothes rustling in response. Unwittingly, his fists began to turn gray from yellow.
By the time he finished the thirty-six movements of the fifth round of Vajra Fist, he could feel his Vitality and Blood quickly surging towards his fists.
The energy from the turtle and the rice porridge in his stomach were rapidly consumed.
Chen Yi opened his eyes and looked at his fists. In the surge of Vitality and Blood, they had gradually turned gray.
Bang! Bang!
Chen Yi hit his fists together, making a sound akin to rocks striking each other.
I've reached the Mid Stage of Mingjin with skin as hard as stone!
After tidying up, Chen Yi returned to his home in the Martial World. With one hand, he easily lifted the cellar stone and held it above his head several dozens of times before he felt fatigued.
"My single arm strength must be more than 500 pounds, and if I burst out with my full fist strength, I'm afraid it can exceed 1000 pounds."
"That should be comparable to the strength of an ordinary Late Stage Mingjin martial artist, right?"
"No, I should be stronger than the average Late Stage Mingjin martial artist in the martial arts school because they only practice their fists, and astonishingly, their Vitality and Blood Power can only sustain about a hundred strikes."
"I can persist for two hundred strikes without exhaustion, so in terms of endurance, I'm stronger than them.
Of course, this doesn't stem from my exceptional strength, but the deficiency of the Iron Wire Fist martial method.
If I encounter an expert who has also refined their entire body with the martial method, I would only match the average Mid-Mingjin Stage martial artist. I cannot be complacent."
"Furthermore, it seems that my five senses have also improved significantly?"
Chen Yi closed his eyes and listened. The sound of leaves falling dozens of meters away was clear as day in his ears. Opening his eyes, he looked up at the sky.
Against the blue sky, a seagull was plunging at high speed towards the surface of the lake. Chen Yi could even make out its hidden claws and the stream of air caught by the high-speed wings.
My dynamic vision ability and hearing ability have greatly improved!
Perhaps, I can now try to capture the Red-Blooded Black Carp.
A flash of that fast-moving red carp in Spirit Mist Marsh crossed Chen Yi's mind.
"I'll give it a try next time I go to the Spirit Mist Marsh."
...
The next morning, Chen Yi arrived at Qi Ying's courtyard. Just as he was warming up to surprise Qi Ying, she emerged, fully dressed, pulled Chen Yi and walked out:
"Junior brother, our training is cancelled today. We have a mission outside the city."
Chen Yi: "Out again? What's the mission this time?"
"The mission this time is simple, it's a collaboration with a gang to go fishing in the lake. Don't worry, it's just to broaden your horizons, there will be no danger.
Rest assured, just like the last two times, your senior sister will protect you. "
Over the past months, Qi Ying had taken Chen Yi on two external missions.
One was to escort the herb-picking team into the mountains.
In recent times, because of the chaos, mountain bandits were numerous. But Small Wan Soup in the martial arts school required several Big Medicines that could only be found in the mountains. Since the herb-pickers dared not venture into the mountains, martial artists had to escort them.
On that trip, they did encounter bandits twice, but when they faced the bandits, senior martial brother Shi Lei simply placed his hand on a tree trunk that was as thick as a bowl, and gently shook it.
With a cracking sound, the tree broke.
The bandits were smart and knew that the senior martial brother was a skilled Anjin martial artist. So they retreated.
Chen Yi also gained some experience in mountain walking, although he didn't get any hands-on opportunities.
The second time, Qi Ying took Chen Yi hunting, saying that she wanted him to learn the real use of martial arts and gain some combat experience.
That time, Qi Ying never lifted a finger. Faced with a wild boar that weighed over a hundred pounds, Chen Yi lifted his fist and directly killed it.
He didn't gain much experience, but his courage was greatly increased. Now, he didn't reject the assignments as much.
Martial arts need to be practiced, but real combat experience is also necessary.
This time, going to the lake with the gang, Chen Yi wasn't concerned about accidents. Moreover, in the water, even if there was danger, he wouldn't die if everyone else did.
This time, Qi Ying led Chen Yi straight to the pier. There were two large boats on the dock. One was nearly thirty meters long and the other was more than ten meters long. Both were capable of traveling long distances to catch big fish.
There were already some people on the two boats. On the larger boat, about twenty people were clad in black and had Fish and Dragon Gang standards embroidered on their chests and long blades hung on their waists. They were clearly members of the Fish and Dragon Gang. Leading them at the front was Lei Zhen, who Chen Yi had met before.
On the smaller boat stood about ten people. Chen Yi looked over and saw many familiar senior martial brothers, most of which had accomplished Mingjin strength.
>Leading the team was Senior Martial Brother Shi Lei, an Anjin martial artist.
After Qi Ying pulled Chen Yi onto the boat, the Senior Martial Brother gave a fist salute to Lei Zhen over there:
"Young gang lord, our team is ready, let's set off."
After boarding the boat and seeing the Mingjin senior martial brothers around him, as well as the two Anjin experts: the Senior Martial Brother and Young Gang Leader, he felt quite reassured.
Besides,
He might still be slightly concerned in the mountains,
But not on the large lake,
If danger would strike,
He could just dive deep into the water, take advantage of the obscured vision and directly escape into the Immortal Cultivation World.
With Chen Yi's swimming skills, unless he was killed instantly, he would always be safe.
Since he was already on the boat, he might as well learn how to fish out at sea with everyone else.
He had been practicing martial arts for a long time; he could avoid danger, but he still needed to gain experience and broaden his horizons.
