Chapter 37 - 34 Stone Skin Great Success
Chen Yi couldn't be bothered to
That's why the way those five people died was extremely horrific,
and he had somewhat lost control of his own strength.
"Hmm... just like the saying goes, 'Even a lion, when it hunts a rabbit, exerts its full strength', I guess I didn't do anything wrong. At least I'm still alive, right?"
After summarizing the day's events, Chen Yi and Qi Ying were especially spirited during today's training session,
He probably exerted almost 50% of his strength, utilizing both his fists and kicks,
He actually managed to draw with Qi Ying, who had reached the Iron Skin Great Success stage while he was only at the Stone Skin stage,
By the end, Qi Ying was left staring at Chen Yi, greatly amazed:
"What an explosive physique, truly vigorous!"
Qi Ying rubbed the aching parts where she was hit, excitement gleaming in her eyes,
"Again, let me see your limits!"
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
...
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
A month later, early in the morning, at the same place, Chen Yi launched a sequence of attacks, forcing Qi Ying to retreat continuously with three punches and two kicks.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Qi Ying quickly covered several meters distance, appearing before Chen Yi, and began to kick furiously,
Chen Yi nonchalantly waved his hands, creating several afterimages, easily containing and neutralizing Qi Ying's onslaught.
Shortly thereafter, Qi Ying was gasping for breath, a look of surprise on her face as she looked at Chen Yi:
"Junior brother Chen, your progress is surprisingly fast. How is your Vitality and Blood so extraordinary? Despite clearly being at the Stone Skin stage, it feels like I've exhausted all my strength while you still have plenty to spare after our full session?"
"Senior sister, perhaps my growth is of the steady and slow kind. Being able to withstand hardships is arguably more important than talent in some areas."
As of now, Chen Yi was nearing perfection with his Stone Skin; he could unleash an attack with approximately 300 Mingjin forces,
With such strength, he could defeat any Mingjin disciple in the martial arts school, except for the oldest senior,
However, Chen Yi has always preferred to maintain a low profile and chose not to show off his abilities.
The key reason for such rapid improvement was that during the past month, he had been eating the Red-Blooded Black Carp he occasionally caught.
No doubt, as a species with a trace of Demon Fish bloodline, its power in enhancing the Vitality and Blood Power was much greater than the effect of the regular Immortal Cultivation.
Perhaps, the path of Vitality and Blood Cultivation is more similar to the cultivation method of the Ancient Demon Race?
Chen Yi speculated, but without revealing it to others. As long as he could continuously improve his strength, he would just quietly concentrate on his cultivation.
The only problem was that the bait he last bought from Li Baitiao was nearly finished. when Chen Yi recently attempted to buy more from Li Baitiao, he was told that due to shortage of raw material he was not selling it,
This was a major issue for Chen Yi as he had to figure out how to resolve the matter of the bait. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to maintain his rapid increase in Vitality and Blood Power by relying on the Red-Blooded Black Carp in the Immortal Cultivation World!
During this time, Chen Yi's sister, Chen Ran, also had a breakthrough in her standing stake practice and she was about to control her Vitality and Blood Power steadily for a full two hours.
Her martial arts talent and physical foundation even attracted the attention of the martial arts school head, Shi Zhenshan.
Of course, this was after Chen Yi recognized his sister's rapid progress and instructed her to moderate her performances, limiting her to only display half of her strength during each standing stake session at the school.
Naturally, for young girls, especially those of a younger age, their innate Vitality and Blood Power is insufficient. If she wanted to grow into a martial arts expert, she still had a few years to go. What she was doing now was just to solidify her foundation.
Hence, despite Chen Ran's exceptional performance, people were merely surprised. It would still take quite a few years for her to truly grow up.
At the same time, the situation in the town was growing increasingly tense; supplies were more scarce, and life for the fishermen was becoming more difficult.
Disciples of the martial arts school would encounter unknown martial artists trying to provoke them in various ways when they performed tasks at locations like restaurants, blockades, and hook racks.
During this period, fights and casualties were common.
Someone was subtly challenging the control and management of the Fish and Dragon Gang over the town from all aspects.
Chen Yi sensed that something was wrong, he had already sealed most of his family's food and moved it to the boat, ready to take his mother and sister to hide in the lake as soon as battle erupted.
One day, as Chen Yi was rowing his small boat carrying food to the bigger boat, just as he entered the Reed Marsh, there was suddenly the sound of fast rowing from outside.
Chen Yi looked over to see a single-man boat rapidly approaching his direction through the reed marsh!
