Gou Zai Wu Dao Chao Shi Xing Nian Da Gong

Inside the tailor shop, Zhou Fugan mysteriously took out an item.

"Sheng'er, look what this is?"

Zhou Sheng looked closely and saw that his grandfather was holding a small silver ingot.

"Silver! Grandpa, where did you get this?" Zhou Sheng asked in surprise.

"Of course it was earned today. Grandpa went to alter a brocade robe for a wealthy man, and the man was very satisfied. He rewarded him on the spot with a full tael of silver." Zhou Fugan lied to whitewash the silver.

"Take this and buy some tonics." With that, he shoved the silver into Zhou Sheng's hand.

"Grandpa." Zhou Sheng was deeply moved.

"Alright, practice all the moves you learned today." Zhou Fugan waved his hand and urged.

"Yes."

Zhou Sheng silently put away the silver and began to practice his boxing seriously.

...

In the stillness of the night,

Zhou Fugan stood in the open space of the bedroom, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"According to Liu Cheng, when Hammer Cloud Fist is cultivated to a high level, one can develop a unique technique. It allows one to mobilize and unleash the full power of the body, making it flow smoothly and unleash several times the strength. When a punch is thrown, the sound is like thunder, accompanied by white clouds, and it is extremely domineering."

"Could it be that the speed of a punch reaches the speed of sound, creating a sonic boom and a sonic cloud? Is that really possible?"

Zhou Fugan drew a conclusion based on his memories from his previous life, which shocked him. But he immediately realized that this was a martial arts world, and what people in his previous life couldn't do might be commonplace here.

"Couldn't I do that right away?"

With that in mind, he immediately began practicing the last few moves of the Hammer Cloud Fist that he had just learned.

After finishing the fist technique, he immediately obtained the complete Hammer Cloud Fist and reached the perfect level.

"Hammer Cloud Fist: Perfection!"

Zhou Fugan realized that he was now able to unleash that ultimate technique.

He moved and threw a punch, feeling the force bursting from the soles of his feet, passing through his legs, waist, hips, and torso, accumulating layer by layer, and finally being released at the tip of his fist!

Boom~~

After Zhou Fugan threw the punch, he immediately felt his eardrums ringing, his head spinning, his whole body trembling, and he was sweating profusely. Using this move had put a great strain on his body, and he would not be able to use it a second time in a short period of time.

This is mainly because his body is too weak. It will greatly improve once he breaks through the membrane barrier.

The power of this punch was several times stronger than his strongest punch in his ordinary moves, which is why it brought such a huge burden to his body.

However, this punch, though powerful, produced no sonic boom and no white clouds.

It wasn't that Liu Cheng was bragging or that his skills weren't powerful enough; rather, he was unable to unleash the full potential of his skills.

His cultivation level is far from sufficient. To unleash the full power of the Hammer Cloud Fist, he must raise his cultivation to the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, which is the level of breaking through the internal organ barrier.

"This move will be our trump card from now on!"

Zhou Fugan's eyes were bright.

The power of this ultimate technique is so great that it can even harm martial artists who have broken through the skin barrier.

But he didn't become arrogant because of this. He also realized from this move the huge gap between himself and a martial artist who had broken through to the next level. The physical difference alone was enough to make him despair.

...

"We must break through the skin barrier as soon as possible!"

Zhou Fugan felt a sense of urgency.

He rested for a while, then went out and brought in a basin of water, and took out a small packet of lime powder from under his bedding.

Then, he pinched up a pinch of lime powder and rubbed it into his eyes.

"The host used lime powder to temper his eyes. Effect: Slightly strengthens the eyeballs."

"The cost: damage to the cornea, leading to blindness!"

"An exemption can be activated without incurring a cost, while retaining its effectiveness."

He discovered this when he killed Zhang Hu that day, and it was based on this that he was able to kill Zhang Hu so easily.

So for the past few days, he has been constantly applying lime powder to his eyes. His eyes have indeed experienced a strengthening effect; from initially being painful and itchy, they are now almost completely numb.

Zhou Fugan closed his eyes and waited for a while, then washed off the lime powder with water and continued to apply it.

After several attempts, he found that his eyes could no longer perceive the lime powder. Furthermore, the virtual interface no longer displayed any prompts.

Clearly, the lime powder had pushed his eyes to the limit.

Zhou Fugan washed his eyes clean and looked at them in the basin of water. He found that his eyes seemed brighter, but there was no particular change. However, when he raised his hand and rubbed his eyeballs, he felt nothing, as if he were rubbing tough leather.

"very good!"

He nodded in satisfaction.

...

This incident also made Zhou Fugan wonder if he was immune to all poisons, and whether he could use highly toxic substances to temper his body.

Unfortunately, after testing, it was true that he was immune to all poisons, but the few common poisons he obtained were of no benefit to his body. Since they were useless to him, he stopped taking them.

However, being immune to all poisons is good enough. After all, he won't be afraid of anyone trying to poison him in the future!

He also came up with a good idea: if he deliberately created a highly poisonous field that did not distinguish between friend and foe when he fought with others, wouldn't that be equivalent to playing on his home field?

"It's my right to use poison!"

......

The next morning, Zhou Fugan went out again with his tailor's box on his back.

"Dad left so early in the morning?" Li Qiuhua said, looking at her father-in-law's retreating figure while holding a broom.

"Yes," Zhou Guangcheng replied with a somber expression.

"This is too hard! I should have just not learned martial arts, then it wouldn't be this hard," Li Qiuhua sighed.

"What do you know, you woman? If you don't learn martial arts, will you end up like Qiangzi's family?" Zhou Guangcheng said in a deep voice.

Zhou Fugan left the South District, but instead of taking on jobs as his son and daughter-in-law expected, he wandered through the streets and alleys until he arrived in the North District, where he went straight into a pharmacy.

The pharmacy was called Chunhetang. It was small and located in a remote area, with only one employee working inside.

Upon seeing him enter, the waiter greeted him warmly.

"Sir, you've come so early? The medicine you requested has been prepared by our manager."

"Hmm! Let me take a look."

Zhou Fugan replied in silence.

"Okay."

The shop assistant quickly went to the counter, took out a small paper packet, opened it, and found a brown powder that looked very similar to the "Strengthening Powder".

This is a tonic called Duan Ti San (Exercising Body Powder).

He spent the whole day wandering around before finally finding this pharmacy. There are many pharmacies selling tonics, but they are all very expensive. Only this one is cheap.

According to the pharmacy owner, this body-strengthening powder is highly effective for beginners in martial arts, even stronger than the secret tonics made by martial arts schools, and it has no toxicity or adverse effects, so it can be taken with confidence.

Zhou Fugan didn't believe the shopkeeper at all, but he wasn't afraid either. As long as it had some effect, he didn't care about the level of toxicity.

So, to test it out, he ordered a pack to see how it worked.

Zhou Fugan smelled it; the odor was pungent, similar to that of a health-strengthening powder.

"Okay, I'll take it back and try it," he nodded and said.

"Five hundred coins, as agreed!" the waiter said with a smile.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

Zhou Fugan picked up the tonic, stuffed it into his pocket, and turned to leave the pharmacy.
