I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 26 Punch

[Iron Shirt·Second Level: (1/800)]

Such a quick breakthrough!
After practicing the health-preserving exercises, practicing the Iron Shirt felt a lot easier.

Xie Yuan showed a satisfied look.

As the iron shirt broke through the first layer, Xie Yuan felt the skin all over his body become tough.

When I scratched my skin with my fingernail, I felt a tough touch, like new bark on a tree in spring, and it was no longer as soft as ordinary skin.

The benefits of skin training not only strengthened the skin all over the body, but also brought an increase in strength. Xie Yuan clearly felt that his strength had increased a lot.

He tried to move the firewood. Before, he could only carry eight or nine thick firewoods in a pile, but now he could pile up twelve or thirteen firewoods and carry them together without any effort.

"My strength has increased by more than 30%..."

Xie Yuan estimated silently, picked up the axe and chopped it casually, making a "whoosh" sound of breaking wind.

The power of this axe is much higher than before.

After feeling his own improvement, Xie Yuan smiled:
"It feels like people have evolved. No wonder so many people in the past were obsessed with weightlifting, and now so many people are devoted to martial arts! It's not all about seeking external things, the changes in oneself are also pleasing."

In this world, martial arts are very popular, and there are many stories about people who abandon worldly things and devote themselves to martial arts. Xie Yuan now understands some of them.

"When you have perfected the third level of Iron Shirt and developed 'Copper Skin', it will be time for you to truly advance to become a warrior. At that time, facing the threat of Boss Zhang, you will no longer be at the mercy of others.

"I still have some health-preserving skills, so this won't last long."

After a few more days, Xie Yuan gradually became familiar with the improvement of his realm and mastered the power of growth.

Taking advantage of these few days, he hurried to cut down the remaining half of the yellow nan tree in the mountains and transported it out slowly by himself. After all, Boss Wan had already paid the deposit.

Going in and out of the mountains was time-consuming, but Xie Yuan didn't think it delayed his practice.

First, if you earn money, you can speed up the progress;

Secondly, when they were tired of felling trees, they could rest and practice in the open space shaded by the big green tree.

Somehow, Xie Yuan felt that he was in better spirits and made faster progress when practicing under the tree. Even if he only practiced there for a short while every day, his progress would catch up with that of practicing outside in an hour or so.

"Maybe it's because of the high levels of negative oxygen ions? No wonder tigers like to lie here."

Xie Yuan speculated.

But no matter what, after going back and forth for a while, the time for practice lost during the journey into the mountains was made up.

After the remaining half of the yellow nan tree was cut down and ready to carry the last of the wood out, Xie Yuan looked around and was in a good mood:

"Look, there are some good trees over there! This place is simply my treasure house. I'm counting on this place for medicine and meat!"

After processing all the wood, Xie Yuan borrowed a cart and pushed it to Boss Wan's house in Panlong Town.

Boss Wan was overjoyed when he saw it:

"Haha, little brother is really trustworthy. He delivered the goods so quickly! Great, great, now the customer is satisfied!"

He immediately took out four taels of silver and gave it to Xie Yuan. After the payment and goods were settled, he gave Xie Yuan one tael more.

Xie Yuan bowed and said:
"The boss is so generous! Looks like he's going to get rich again."

"Haha, it's all because my little brother is fast at delivering goods. The customers are satisfied, so I will definitely make more money. To be honest, this time the customer is Mr. Xu, the owner of Panlong Restaurant. He wants to use nanmu to make furniture. I have been looking for it for a long time, and finally I can find it. Thank you! If you have good wood in the future, you must get it to me as soon as possible. The price is negotiable!"

It turned out that it was Xu Yang's father who wanted this wood.

It’s great to have money. If there is any demand left, you can use it to support others in practicing martial arts.

Xie Yuan sighed, took the money he earned from chopping trees, and went to report to the martial arts hall.

Inside the iron gate.

Huo Da put his hands behind his back and said to Xie Yuan in front of him:

"Xie Junior Brother, you practice and I'll help you."

He looked calm, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Xie Yuan has been coming less frequently recently. Apparently he has listened to the advice and is focusing on taking care of his health. How could he be getting any benefit from this?
Disciples like Xie Yuan are not suitable for martial arts training at all, and should not be accepted into the sect, as they will only harm others and themselves.

But Master said "Teaching without distinction", well, actually, it takes money to develop a martial arts school...

I can only pretend to check it regularly to show that I am teaching seriously.

The martial arts school is in a difficult situation recently...

Huo Da's mind was wandering, and he wasn't actually paying attention to what Xie Yuan was doing in front of him.

Until Xie Yuan demonstrated the first set of moving piles.

With a "pop" sound, the fist hit the air, making a slight sound.

Huo Da suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Xie Yuan, and watched him practice martial arts with great momentum, his eyes and mouth slowly opened wide.

"Xie Junior Brother, you actually broke through the first level?"

Xie Yuan paused for a moment and replied:

"Yes." Hoda suddenly looked incredulous.

How is this possible given his physique?

The master doubted that it would be difficult for him to even get started, but in the end, he progressed faster than many people!

"Xie Junior Brother, you...um, what's wrong with your body?"

Huo Da's eyes moved, and he immediately saw that Xie Yuan's energy and blood were much more sufficient.

The internal strength certainly cannot be told to others, but the changes will be discovered sooner or later, so Xie Yuan already had a plan to deal with it.

"I recently picked up a ginseng in the mountains. After eating it, my body became warm. In addition, the medicine in the martial arts hall was very effective. I no longer feel tired when practicing martial arts."

Huo Da suddenly realized that Xie Yuan was a woodcutter and he obviously thought that this was the only explanation.

"Xie, Junior Brother, you are really lucky! You have practiced really well, have a good understanding, and have made rapid progress. Now your body is also strong. You are really a good seedling..."

His expression changed, he patted Xie Yuan on the shoulder, encouraged him, and quickly walked into the inner courtyard.

I need to talk to Master about this.

Xie Yuan showed up at the martial arts gym and was about to change his medicine and go home to practice martial arts when he suddenly saw a tall and strong figure walking towards him with a group of people.

"Xie Yuan, I heard... you made a breakthrough?"

Xu Yang raised his head and asked with some doubt.

Xie Yuan frowned slightly and nodded:

"lucky."

How come this guy is so well-informed?
It's like a fly smelling of shit... um, can't say that.

Xu Yang suddenly widened his eyes.

How come Xie Yuan's cultivation is so fast? Wasn't he stagnant a while ago?

He doesn’t have that many nutritious things to eat... Is he really that talented?

Xu Yang pursed his lips secretly, feeling extremely jealous.

"That's great. I said I would give you some pointers once you've made a breakthrough. Come now."

Xu Yang said with a cold face.

Xie Yuan looked at him without answering. He put the potion aside and walked to the center of the open space.

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment.

He had never seen anyone who was so straightforward when meeting him.

Isn't he afraid of me?

How come I'm the challenger?
Xu Yang felt the nameless anger rising in his chest.

"So arrogant, Senior Brother Xu, beat him!"

Xu Yang's younger brothers also started clamoring.

The noise attracted the attention of other disciples, and a group of disciples quickly gathered in the field, including Tao Jie Lin and others.

"Oh no! Why did Brother Xie come into direct conflict with Xu Yang?"

Tao Jielin's face showed worry.

Being blocked head-on by Xu Yang, how could Xie Yuan get away with it?

No, quickly find Senior Brother Huo!

But he looked around and saw that Hoda had entered the yard. Where was he?
"It's over, Brother Xie is going to suffer a lot today..."

Seeing more and more people gathered around, Xu Yang gritted his teeth and sneered:

"Junior brother, I've always felt that you were a little disrespectful to your seniors, so it looks like I have to teach you a lesson today.

"Don't worry, I will compensate you for the medicine."

He walked to the center of the field, stood opposite Xie Yuan, and shouted:
"Let you go first! Today, I will make you convinced!"

After hearing this, Xie Yuan didn't make any extra moves. He took a step forward and punched him in the chest.

Seeing this plain and simple punch, Xu Yang sneered and stretched out his hand to block it.

When their fists collided, his expression suddenly changed when facing this seemingly ordinary fist.

I wanted to shout something, but it was too late.

There was a bang.

Xu Yang flew backwards and rolled on the ground.
