Chapter 9: Breakthrough in Foundation Building (Seeking Recommendations)
Bang!
Ke’er’s body crashed heavily to the ground, unable to make a sound for a moment, as if knocked unconscious.
“Ke’er…actually?”
“He’s a natural human, the top student in the class.”
The surrounding students fell silent for a long time before someone murmured.
“Wait, didn’t Fang Xing say he only had a flash of inspiration before, and couldn’t stably perform the Cannon Fist?”
“You believe that kind of talk? What’s the difference between that and a top student saying they didn’t do well on a test?”
“You make a good point…”
…
“Axing, you actually took down Ke’er?”
Liu Wei patted his best friend’s shoulder, “How did you get so strong?”
“This is, of course, because of my persistent hard training.”
Fang Xing uttered the correct cliché, then smiled at Bai Lianyí beside Liu Wei, subtly placing his right hand behind his back.
Actually, Ke’er’s physical condition was stronger than his, but he lost in techniques and skills.
Winning this time was also due to the surprise attack at the beginning, a full-power strike. My fist still hurts a bit now.
“Fang Xing, you’re amazing. I look forward to sparring with you next time.”
Bai Lianyí said softly, “Remember to go easy…”
“Mm, let’s improve together.”
Fang Xing nodded.
…
After school.
On the riverbank embankment.
He held two sodas, tossing one to Liu Wei: “Actually…I think Ouyang Qianqian is more suitable for you.”
“Glug glug…Refreshing!”
Liu Wei finished it in one gulp, then said, “Actually, I think Ouyang Qianqian and I are too far apart…After all, she’s a natural human, and I’m just a poor bio-engineered human…On the other hand, Bai Lianyí…Okay, I’m joking. I’ve been getting close to her recently, not because I’m pursuing her, although I do have some feelings for her. Bai is a good person, and the few part-time jobs she’s shared recently have been quite lucrative…”
“So it was for part-time jobs? It seems you haven’t forgotten your dreams.”
Fang Xing nodded.
“Of course, I’ve been secretly working hard too, although not as much as you.” Liu Wei showed a big smile.
“By the way, there’s a job recently, from the Glorious Jiang Mansion. Are you taking it?”
Fang Xing suddenly spoke.
“Glorious Jiang Mansion? Could it be…?” Liu Wei involuntarily shivered.
“Yes, it’s Gu Yun’s.” Fang Xing nodded. This was a job he deliberately sought out.
For Liu Wei, he really went to great lengths.
After all, they were classmates with the same break time.
If he runs into Bai Lianyí at Glorious Jiang Mansion again…he should finally wake up, right?
‘Sigh…I can only help you this much, brother.’
Fang Xing sighed inwardly.
“Gu Yun is quite ruthless…”
Liu Wei hesitated.
“But she pays well.” Fang Xing answered matter-of-factly.
“I suffered last time…”
“But she pays well.”
“I…I…Fine, it’s just money, right? I’ll go!” Liu Wei gritted his teeth, making up his mind.
“Good.”
Fang Xing nodded.
…
Glorious Jiang Mansion.
Villa, training ground.
“Let’s agree beforehand, you put on the gravity suit first, then we’ll spar.”
Seeing Gu Yun with her pigtails, Liu Wei quickly waved his hands.
“Relax, relax…This time I will definitely master the Demon Blade, completely control this demonic energy!”
Gu Yun held a wooden sword, full of confidence.
“Come on!”
Liu Wei was smarter this time, directly holding his wooden stick in front of him.
“Good!”
Gu Yun let out a crisp shout, and the wooden sword slashed out.
Whoosh whoosh!
Her attack speed was even faster than last time, with one after another blade shadow appearing in the air.
Three blade shadows seemed to strike simultaneously, hitting Liu Wei’s wooden stick.
—Triple Slash!
Whoosh!
A black shadow flashed, and the wooden stick disappeared.
“Huh? Where’s my stick?”
Liu Wei’s eyes widened, then he screamed, being sent flying.
“Kill!”
Gu Yun was clearly getting carried away again. She stepped on Liu Wei’s chest, who was lying on the ground, and brought the wooden sword down towards his throat.
This vital point, even with a wooden sword, could cause serious injury!
Clang!
At the critical moment, another wooden stick flew over, blocking the wooden sword.
Gu Yun’s eyes seemed to have a trace of dark red, a flash of the blade, and the wooden stick was split, then she faced Fang Xing who pounced over!
“Hah!”
Fang Xing’s stance was like a bow, his fist covered with a layer of silver-white nano-protective coating, like wearing a glove.
Bow Stance Cannon Fist!
One trick pony, eats the world!
His most proficient move was still this one.
Bang!
The silver-white fist collided with the wooden sword. Fang Xing felt a powerful force surging, causing him to involuntarily retreat several steps.
‘This Gu Yun, looks like a little girl, but she’s actually stronger than Ke’er!’
‘Has she already broken through the second stage of Martial Dao, and started refining her bones and muscles?’
‘Without the protective suit, I’d be an idiot to use my fist against a sword, even a wooden sword!’
In a moment, many thoughts flashed through Fang Xing’s mind. He took a deep breath, preparing to have the protective suit cover his whole body.
But Gu Yun trembled slightly, the crimson in her eyes fading. Looking at Fang Xing, a hint of satisfaction appeared on her face: “Basic nano-protective suit? Good…This is what I call professional, I can go all out, without worrying about accidentally killing you!”
“Wait, wait!”
Fang Xing inwardly cried foul, just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Yun turn off the gravity suit, a hint of bloodlust and excitement flashing across her delicate face: “Kill! Kill kill kill!”
…
Half an hour later.
The middle-aged man from last time appeared in the training ground, looking at Fang Xing and Liu Wei. He paused at the nano-protective suit on Fang Xing: “This protective suit is good, next time don’t wear it, the impact is different, and the training effect is also different…But this time it’s fine, occasional venting is also good.”
He smiled slightly: “I see you’re practicing the twelve styles of military boxing? Except for the first punch, which is somewhat interesting, the others are still a bit raw. I can give you some pointers, uh, twenty minutes…This time the fee will be charged according to the standard.”
Fang Xing and Liu Wei looked at each other: “Please instruct us!”
“When I first started practicing martial arts, I also learned the twelve styles of military boxing, but I prefer legwork. Let me demonstrate the ‘War Axe Leg’…”
The middle-aged man kicked out a leg in mid-air.
Clap!
The air seemed to be cut open, the invisible leg wind swept past, and the wooden stakes several meters away suddenly burst, revealing a deep cut.
“Amazing…You must be a true Professional, right?”
Liu Wei was stunned by this scene.
Although he had seen Bai Lianyí’s War Axe Leg, he also knew that compared to this Mr. Gu, it was a world of difference.
“So-so, I later gave up learning the twelve styles of military boxing, because although this martial art is concise, it’s easy to learn but difficult to master…However, if it is cultivated deeply, its ‘Military Dao Intent’ is also quite powerful.”
Middle-aged Mr. Gu smiled and began to explain: “The essence of this leg is…”
Twenty minutes later.
Fang Xing and Liu Wei left, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
“This is the guidance of a true Professional?”
Liu Wei stroked his chin: “It feels slightly worse than Teacher Xia’s, but we received less money, are we at a loss?”
“It’s better than practicing alone…Teacher Xia Long is not only a Professional, but also a dedicated education professional, with rich teaching experience, how could it be the same?”
Fang Xing shook his head.
He could see that Mr. Gu was somewhat frugal, so he used guidance in lieu of additional compensation for injuries.
But even so, Liu Wei might not know, but he had definitely gained a lot.
The changes in his attribute panel were proof!
[Twelve Styles of Military Boxing: 76/100 (Beginner)]
‘Not bad, not bad, this is overall progress…’
‘But still not an opponent for his daughter, I still need to work harder.’
Fang Xing secretly made up his mind.
…
Time flies.
Fang Xing spent this time continuously drinking medicine and practicing, occasionally going out to work with Liu Wei, and in his spare time, playing online games. His life was incredibly fulfilling.
One day.
Happy Home Community.
In the training room.
[Name: Fang Xing]
[Age: 16]
[Profession: Martial Artist]
[First Stage: Flesh and Blood (Refine Skin: 43/100)]
[Twelve Styles of Military Boxing: 86/100 (Beginner)]
[Great Dragon Stake: 99/100 (Beginner)]
[Gate of All Heavens: 59/100 (Positioning)]
…
“The last bit of nutrient solution…”
Fang Xing opened his mouth, swallowed the last 20ml of ‘D3-level nutrient solution’, and began to practice the Great Dragon Stake.
He forgot himself, immersed in the foundation building, continuously circulating his Qi and blood.
Three hours later.
Something mysterious happened.
Roar roar!
His Qi and blood circulation suddenly accelerated, seemingly breaking through a certain barrier.
Then, his bones moved, countless notes overlapping, as if turning into a dragon’s roar!
[Great Dragon Stake: 1/100 (Proficient)]
“Upgraded?”
Fang Xing was overjoyed, feeling that his foundation building had made significant progress.
Even more amazing was that every move had a mysterious quality.
“Before, my stance was rough, really too rough, it was unbearable to watch…”
After a slight comparison, Fang Xing felt that there were many improvements in his foundation building.
He even felt that with this improvement, it would definitely greatly increase the progress of refining his skin and flesh!
…
The next day.
[First Stage: Flesh and Blood (Refine Skin: 44/100)]
Fang Xing looked at the increased progress in skin refining, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.
“The proficient level Great Dragon Stake is indeed incomparable to the beginner level…Based on this estimation, I can probably increase my proficiency by one point a day…My cultivation speed has greatly improved.”
“Just the proficient level is like this, what about higher levels? The future is bright, the future is bright!”
“Indeed, I’m only one cheat code away from success.”
