High Martial Arts 2077: I Rely on Beast Taming to Cultivate While Lying Down

Chapter 84 Tianshan - Tiger Bone Power Pill! Money makes the world go round!

Giant Strength Pill!

Su Chen's eyes lit up.

Tonight is the strength test, and the Giant Strength Pill has arrived just in time!

With his current punching power of 601 kilograms, plus the boost from the Giant Strength Pill, his strength test score tonight will probably go even higher.

Moreover, his current punching power of 601 kilograms is not even his full strength.

However, the actual increase isn't much higher.

After all, he had already adapted to Zhang Yan's grueling training regimen; two hours couldn't drain his current powerful physique.

His gaze shifted from the panel to Zhang Yan, and he suddenly asked, "By the way, what's your current punching power?"

Zhang Yan, who had been laughing and joking just moments before, instantly deflated upon hearing these words.

Her lips moved, and her voice unconsciously lowered: "I... my highest weight right now is 896 kilograms..."

When she said the last few words, she tapped her fingers together in front of her, just like a primary school student whose homework was checked by the teacher but found to be unfinished.

Then she suddenly looked up, her eyes flashing with both grievance and anger: "You bastard! You've been lying to me!!!"

Su Chen shook his head with a regretful expression, his tone full of disappointment and disappointment: "Tsk tsk~ You're doomed! Almost half the time has passed."

Yang Xin, who was listening nearby, was completely shocked.

Her gaze lingered on Zhang Yan's face for a full three seconds, her mind still processing the number she had just heard.

896 kilograms?

She had always known that Zhang Yan's strength had greatly improved after eating the Overlord Fruit, but Zhang Yan had not shown them any specific punching power values ​​during this period.

In her memory, Zhang Yan's weight of 680 kilograms in the ten-school joint exam was already exaggerated; now it should be in the range of 750 to 800 kilograms.

As a result, Zhang Yan has already quietly reached the threshold of nine hundred?

Yang Xin couldn't help but ask, "You...your punching power is close to nine hundred?"

Zhang Yan nodded, her voice still carrying the lingering grievance from before: "Mmm..."

"No! You're already so tall, what fraud? What's over?" Yang Xin's gaze darted back and forth between Su Chen and Zhang Yan twice, her face full of confusion.

Zhang Yan pouted, as if she had finally found someone to confide in, and grabbed Yang Xin's sleeve: "He...he tricked me into eating a top-grade bone-shaping pill he gave me last Sunday, and then made my punching strength increase to 1,000 kilograms within a week!"

"I didn't agree at the time, and he said: 'Why can't you be number one in the grade?'"

"Waaaaah~ I was goaded and fell for his elaborate trap!"

Zhang Yan became increasingly angry as she spoke, and by the end, she was waving her hands wildly in the air, as if she were beating up a conman in the room from afar!

Yang Xin was stunned.

Last Sunday night, outside that pavilion, she saw Su Chen take out a top-grade Ice Skin Jade Marrow Pill from his pocket and throw it to Wang Yichuan, and then hand a Dao Enlightenment Fruit to Lin Xiyue.

At the time, her impression of Su Chen was only one: a rich man! A shrewd tycoon!

Now that I've heard Zhang Yan say this, it turns out that Zhang Yan has also fallen victim to this.

However, the treatment seems to be a bit different...

Yang Xin blinked and followed up on the conversation, asking, "What are the consequences of losing?"

Before Zhang Yan could answer, Su Chen interrupted, his tone unabashedly teasing: "If she loses, she'll be completely at my mercy. Hehe~ You know what I mean, right?"

Although Zhang Yan usually speaks without thinking, constantly stirring up trouble between Su Chen and Lin Xiyue, and her head is full of all sorts of inappropriate thoughts, it's all because she's the one who actively teases others.

Now that Su Chen was teasing her like this in front of Yang Xin, her baby face turned bright red instantly.

The redness spread from the base of her neck all the way to the tips of her ears, and even the small section of her neck with her ponytail hanging down in front of her shoulders was tinged with pink.

When Yang Xin saw this, her eyes widened even more than when she saw the 601 kilograms figure: "Really?"

She sounded like she was serious.

But the next second, she turned to look at Su Chen, blinked, and the smile returned to her almond-shaped eyes: "You actually like the loli type? Isn't my gentle older sister style suitable?"

Su Chen smiled, and without even hesitating, uttered three words crisply: "Not really suitable."

"Tch—!" Yang Xin turned her face away.

Su Chen's hand was already in his pocket.

He pretended to be taking something out of his pocket, but actually took out a Giant Strength Pill from his system inventory.

The pill, held in the palm of the hand, was a deep amber color with a fine sheen on its surface.

If you get close, you can smell a faint medicinal fragrance, not the kind of pungent bitterness, but a warm, earthy scent mixed with pine resin.

"Mega Strength Pill!"

Su Chen flicked his wrist and tossed the pill to Zhang Yan: "It's very rare in Jiangling City, and its market price is around 50,000."

This is top-quality! Take it.

Zhang Yan instinctively reached out and caught it. The moment the pill landed in her palm, she glanced down at it, then looked up, her eyes filled with confusion: "Why did you give me this?"

"Today's training fee!"

Su Chen shrugged, speaking casually: "Besides... I said I'd help you reach 1,000 kilograms within a week, not that I'd only offer one Bone Shaping Pill as a reward."

That's true.

The Giant Strength Pill was originally a reward from Zhang Yan's first mission, and he gave it to Zhang Yan without feeling the slightest bit of reluctance.

After all... his goal is the Tiger Bone Power Pill from Mission Two, and the skill stone—Overlord Fist Technique!

He looked it up online and found that Tiger Bone Power Pill was actually a specialty of the Tianshan area.

How far is the Tianshan Mountains from him now?

Damn, 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers!

The local price in Tianshan is 110,000 to 120,000 yuan, but here it's worth more than 200,000 yuan!

He has already invested in the Bone-Shaping Pill; if he doesn't complete Task Two...

He even considered that if he was really close to succeeding, he could offer up an Enlightenment Fruit!

Because... he truly understood what sunk costs meant!

Secondly, Su Chen was also considering that the stronger and more talented the individual, the higher the mission rewards and the greater the cultivation bonuses provided. He was considering this a long-term investment.

Zhang Yan stared at the amber-colored pill in her palm, her lips moving slightly.

She had seen information about Juliwan online and tried to buy it through channels in Jiangling City, but the quality of the products she could buy was too poor.

It contains many impurities and has low efficacy; you're lucky if you can absorb even 30% of it.

The one in front of me, just by its fragrance and the luster of its surface, I know it is the best of the best!

Zhang Yan raised her head and looked at Su Chen with an expression that was hard to describe as either moved or unwilling.

Yang Xin stood to the side, looking at the pill in Zhang Yan's palm, her lips twitching slightly.

She didn't know how to describe her current feelings.

If she were closer to Su Chen, she might jokingly say, "I even want to be yours!"

But given their current relationship, she still can't bring herself to say those words.

She changed her approach, blinked, and said in a deliberately aggrieved tone, "Waaah~ I also helped train Xiao Zi for four days, is there any compensation for my hard work?"

Without saying a word, Su Chen took out two Qi-replenishing pills from his pocket and casually tossed them over.

"Here, take it! From now on, we must train Little Purple like crazy! We can't let it slack off!"

Yang Xin reached out and caught them, glancing down at the two round Qi-replenishing pills in her palm.

This was clearly a Qi-boosting pill given to Su Chen by his parents; it was something that could be bought on the market.

There's no other way! Su Chen has become picky now and rarely eats this kind of food anymore, so it's perfect to send it away.

Yang Xin paused for a moment, then laughed: "Alright! Then I won't be polite!"

Little Purple, who was resting nearby, perked up its ears as soon as it heard its name called.

Then it heard Su Chen say the next sentence: "Practice like there's no tomorrow."

Little Purple jumped to its feet, limbs slightly bent, its light golden eyes wide open, and it let out a loud protest: "Awoo! Awoo! Awoo~!"

Su Chen turned his head, his gaze falling on Xiao Zi, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Aren't you going to work harder! Otherwise, my 600-kilogram punch will break your dog legs!"

Little Purple's ears perked up even more instantly, its back arched, and it retorted defiantly, "Awooo~!"

Su Chen stared at it for two seconds, then suddenly put on a serious expression and said, "How about I pay for you to enroll in a training class? It's full of those muscular, 1.8-meter-tall guys."

"I don't know about their training methods. You'll have to figure it out for yourself."

Little Purple's fur suddenly bristled.

Its ears went from standing upright to lying flat on its head, and its previous domineering aura had completely disappeared.

It shook its head frantically, its head bobbing like a rattle drum, and let out a pitiful whimper: "Awoo~"

I'm wrong!

Su Chen crossed his arms and nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it!"

His gaze swept over Yang Xin, and the panel on the edge of his consciousness suddenly flashed.

Yang Xin's favorability rating: Iv5

Status: Available for contract (Time limit: 5 days)

Strength Level: Third Realm - Acupoint Opening Realm (56 acupoints)

Pet Energy Points - Acquisition Speed: 67 points/day Skills:

无影腿Iv5（998/5000）：高速连踢，轨迹飘忽难以捕捉鹰踏Iv3（3000/3000）：高空腾挪身法，将灵能灌注双腿，在空中製造灵力支点。

The burst of psionic recoil when stomping allows one to continuously change direction and ascend; each time one uses the force in mid-air, a burst of psionic ripples explodes beneath one's feet.

Return to Origin Technique 1v4 (1358/4000): High-level spiritual energy manipulation technique. It can forcibly gather the spiritual energy scattered throughout the limbs and bones into the dantian in an instant, and then precisely manipulate it from the dantian to any part of the body.

In actual combat, it is used to quickly adjust the distribution of psionic energy, concentrate power on a critical strike, or defend vital points. When mastered to a high level, it can maintain a continuous and efficient flow of psionic energy during combat, greatly extending combat endurance.

Azure Cloud Footwork 1v3 (1658/3000): A high-level movement technique that uses spiritual energy to drive footwork, making the body as graceful and agile as flowing clouds. It has extremely fast short-range burst speed and excellent endurance for long-range attacks.

Swallow Spirit Body Technique 1v3 (2680/3000): A flexible body-strengthening technique. By simulating the subtle muscle adjustments of a swallow skimming across water, it pushes the body's flexibility and coordination to the extreme. Those who master it will have joints as agile as a swallow, able to dodge and change direction in extremely small spaces. It can produce synergistic effects when used in conjunction with any movement-based martial arts technique.

.】

Su Chen mentally compared Yang Xin's and Jiang Yunxin's skills.

Jiang Yunxin's fighting style is a typical example of a skill-based setup: the Great Sun Burning Heaven Palm for burst damage, the Flaming Fist for sustained output, the Fire Control Technique for crowd control, the Azure Cloud Footwork for positioning, and the Invincible Body Technique for survivability. Every martial art is designed for head-on confrontations.

Yang Xin, on the other hand, is the complete opposite.

Shadowless Kick Iv5 is responsible for high-speed close-range combos, Eagle Step Iv3 ensures aerial displacement and high-ground suppression, Return to Origin Technique lv4 manages the body's spiritual energy clearly, Azure Cloud Step Iv3 provides mid-range mobility, and Swallow Spirit Body Technique Iv3 maximizes the body's flexibility and evasion rate.

Purely delicate, supple, and agile!

It can kick at close range, run at mid-range, and stomp in the air. It can also use the Return to Origin Technique to adjust the distribution of spiritual energy at any time, achieving both endurance and burst damage.

"I feel like we can use her as a transitional pairing next week."

"Being delicate and frail... feels pretty good, hehe~"

Su Chen silently calculated in his mind.

Jiang Yunxin also learned the Azure Cloud Steps, so it's like having the same skill and getting the experience bonus from both of them.

The Returning to Origin Technique is an all-purpose and excellent spiritual technique, somewhat similar to the Spirit Transformation Technique that Li Yu cultivates. It requires certain special physical conditions to open the corresponding acupoints, but once mastered, it will significantly improve the efficiency of spiritual energy allocation.

"I need to really win her over during this time!"

Su Chen put the panel away, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Zhang Yan.

Then he paused.

The favorability panel above Zhang Yan's head is flashing.

The icon for Iv8 flickers on and off at the edge of the field of view, and with each flicker, the outline of the icon undergoes subtle changes.

It flashed again? Why the hell aren't you going to go up already?!

Then, it froze.

Zhang Yan's favorability level: 1v9

Status: Available for contract (Time limit: 9 days)

Strength Level: Third Realm - Acupoint Opening Realm (50→52 acupoints)

Pet Energy Points - Acquisition Speed: 112 points/day. Su Chen silently sighed to himself.

"Um... money really can solve most problems."

"The old saying is true: money makes the world go round."

"And now, for me, any goodwill that can be improved with a small amount of money isn't a problem!"

Zhang Yan's favorability rating started flashing on that day at the guard post, and remained unchanged for several days.

As a result, a giant ball of power was thrown down, directly crossing the line from level 8 to level 9!

"In that case, the time for Mission Two can be extended by another day, which greatly increases our chances!"

Su Chen quickly did the math.

Without using the skill learning machine, the daily net profit has increased from 48 to 64 points!

This speed is quite remarkable.

...

It can be used to unlock more pet equipment, beast taming technology, and even advancement paths.

There's also the construction of various buildings, upgrading the control terminal to Iv2! Increasing the capacity of pets, especially humanoid pets! All of these can greatly improve his cultivation speed.

"Speaking of which, after completing Task One - Intensive Training, the pet space area had reached 205. Now that Task One - Devil Training has been completed, it has reached 215, but the number of pet slots has not increased."

"It doesn't seem like the 200 mark is the key."

"We can only keep watching!"

"No improvement is fine. After all, the Beast Taming Shop is here. I can get a better one in a month."

He snapped out of his thoughts and patted the magnesium powder off his hands.

"Alright! Training's over. We have things to do this afternoon, let's go eat first."

Just as the three of them were about to take a step, their phone rang.

Su Chen clicked on the link with a puzzled look.

It's the school's points mall!

[Points change: +3000]

Points Balance: 7740

"???"

"How come I suddenly got 3000 points?"

Su Chen immediately looked towards the Beast Taming Mall.

"Why didn't I get any points from the Beast Taming Shop?"

Zhang Yan chimed in, "I also received 3,000 points!!!"

Yang Xin opened her phone in confusion: "I... have it too. What's going on?"

Su Chen casually replied, "Hey, who cares! Points aren't really useful now anyway."

Upon hearing this, both of them looked at him.

Does anyone say so?

"Um... the only thing I need to buy is a spirit orb, but I can't buy it now, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to use it."

The two women: "Hehe~!"

But Su Chen suddenly realized, "Oh, right, I know where these points come from."

"Where did it come from?"

"I asked the school to transfer 9,000 to me, but I accidentally transferred it to the wrong person. You guys have to compensate me."

"roll!"
