Chapter 9 Small success
He didn't want to be one of them, especially after learning that He Changgong was killed by a pickaxe because of a dispute with others, the sense of urgency in his heart became more intense.

Because there are supervisors on duty in the main mine tunnel, they simply maintain the most basic survival rules. However, once you drill into the branch mine tunnel, all rules will disappear and the one with the bigger fist will have the final say.

It was not until the sixth day that Li Haomiao couldn't help but speak when he saw Xu Yunfan running in and out of this branch mine to practice his sprint.

"Speedy legs requires the power of the legs, the coordination of the waist and hips, and the tension of the back and spine. It's a method of strengthening the tendons. If you can achieve it by running like this, I can take all these fasting pills, right?!"

'You've got the basics of sprinting.'

'Scud 0/500 (Beginner)
Special effects: fast steps, agile body, footprints on the ground, full of endurance'

In an instant, Xu Yunfan's memories flooded back.

In his memory, he was on a mountain ridge, with rolling hills all around him.

Being in the mountain, he exerted force with his feet, dug his toes into the ground, and continued to practice his steps in the same way as a sprinter.

Day after day, he ran, regardless of the burden on his body, and ran hundreds of miles a day.

One day, he exerted force on the soles of his feet, his toes curled up like chicken claws, his tendons tightened like springs, and a force rose from the soles of his feet, pushing him high up, with swift steps, and the whole person rushed forward like a wild horse.

This step was as far as five or six meters.

At the same time, streams of warm currents emerged from his body out of nowhere, flowing and pulsating rapidly between his waist, abdomen, and legs.

Xu Yunfan only felt his legs swelling, his muscles tensing, and his tendons like bowstrings, constantly being stretched and then suddenly loosened.

The feeling of having his muscles stretched in such a short period of time, both painful and pleasurable, made him hiss.

If you roll up your trouser legs to your thighs, you can clearly see the muscles on Xu Yunfan's legs throbbing constantly. Each muscle bundle rises and falls like waves, strengthening his tendons and bones.

Scud, here you go.

Xu Yunfan stretched his legs and felt his body lighter than ever before. He took a step forward and it felt like a spring under his feet expanded, 'pushing' him five or six meters away.

It was amazing, as if a force was rising from the soles of his feet from underground, making his body light and float away.

He looked up at Li Haomiao: "What did you just say? What happened to the Bigu Pills?"

Li Haomiao was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly, and kept silent.

Xu Yunfan didn't care. He glanced at the skill column on the attribute panel. He had been mining day and night these days, and his bronze body skills and mining skills were about to reach a small success stage.

Especially the Bronze Body Skill, the proficiency has reached 488, only twelve points away. Xu Yunfan naturally will not rest halfway and is ready to upgrade it to the maximum in one go.

This obvious upgrade progress made him extremely enthusiastic and he did not feel bored at all.

He walked briskly and continued to wield the pickaxe to dig around the ancient jade wall.

This ancient jade wall was extremely hard, and he could not damage it at all even with all his strength. Over the past few days, Xu Yunfan had only been digging around the ancient jade wall, trying to dig it out.

You calmed your mind, gripped the hoe tighter, and adjusted your stance. Instantly, the hoe felt more stable, and your mining proficiency improved.

"You clear your mind, feeling the contact between your body and the air, adjusting the position of your arms. In an instant, you feel the flow of your body and the air become more harmonious, and your proficiency in the Bronze Body Technique improves."

'...'

It wasn't until three hours later that a prompt suddenly appeared in Xu Yunfan's vision.

While mining, you suddenly realize something, as if there's a deeper meaning hidden in your excavation. But upon closer inspection, it's hard to find the clue. Your mining proficiency quietly increases by 4 points.

'Mining/1000 (Minor Achievement)' Suddenly, memories emerged of him becoming an elite miner in this dark mine, transforming into a ruthless mining machine, digging without sleep for more than a decade.

Until one day, when he was swinging the pickaxe, his movements suddenly stopped, and he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction surging from the bottom of his heart.

The pickaxe seemed to have merged into his body, becoming an extension of his limbs that he could control at will. Every swing of the pickaxe seemed to be connected with his heart and hand, flowing smoothly and without any obstruction.

His body felt slightly warm, and a feeling of expansion spread.

A warm current seemed to appear out of nowhere in the body, winding like a snake, moving freely between the arms and waist.

Wherever he passes, his strength grows like wild ivy, and his endurance accumulates like a deep pool, endless and continuous.

It is said to be endless, but in fact it is just an illusion caused by the significant improvement of one's physical fitness in a short period of time.

After making some progress in mining, his frail body became much stronger.

Xu Yunfan calmed himself down, gripped his pickaxe tightly, and stared at the ancient jade wall embedded in the iron ore in front of him, which was only as tall as a person. He vaguely felt that this piece of ore, as tall as a person, also had its own veins.

He raised the pickaxe suddenly, gathering all his strength, his muscles bulging, and smashed it down along the veins of the ore with a speed and strength far beyond his previous speed.

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, a string of sparks flew out and large chunks of ore collapsed.

In the past, he needed more than ten pickaxes to loosen the ore, but now he can easily break it down with just one pickaxe.

This change clearly shows that he is completely different from his previous self in terms of strength, speed, accuracy and eyesight.

It's very powerful. I wonder if it can kill those vicious supervisors with just one pickaxe.

Yang Gan...still needs to practice!

He glanced at the system prompt on the attribute panel.

Mining 1/1000 (small success)
Special effects: cold-resistant and heat-resistant, hands as steady as a rock, sharp eyes and careful mind, digging the ground like mud'

A proficiency of one thousand?
At this rate of progress, the next stage should be two thousand?
He glanced at the Bronze Body Skill on the skill column. The proficiency level was 499. He only needed one more step to advance the Bronze Body Skill to the minor success stage.

He lifted the iron pickaxe that was as light as a willow branch, and as he dug out the last large piece of ore, the last bit of proficiency in the Bronze Body Skill was also completed.

You practice the Bronze Body Technique, the pickaxe in your hand like a hammer, seemingly touching the threshold of the technique's subtlety, but your mind shifts slightly, unable to grasp that subtle charm. However, the results of your practice are already beginning to show, and your proficiency in the Bronze Body Technique is quietly improving.

"You have achieved a small degree of success in the bronze body skill."

'Bronze Body Skill (Skin Training) 0/1000 (Small Success)
Special effects: Qi and blood are abundant, strength runs through the whole body, skin is as tough as leather, muscles are bulging and ridges are blooming.

Minor success in bronze body skills!

As Xu Yunfan was delighted, a large number of memories about his practice of Bronze Body Kung began to flow through his mind.

In the crude workshop, the dim candlelight flickered, stretching the surrounding shadows into longer and shorter ones.

He was wearing coarse linen clothes, and what he held tightly in his hand was no longer the pickaxe he used for mining, but a heavy hammer.

The hammer head was as big as a watermelon, and the handle was thick and covered with the luster from being rubbed by sweaty hands, giving off a cold, hard metallic texture in the dim light.

At first, he found it difficult to lift the hammer weighing over 100 kilograms. Every time he swung it, he had to use all his strength and exert all his energy.
