Surviving in the chaos of battle, I'm grinding for proficiency.

As the carriage drove away from Huangshi County and got closer to Anning County, the number of migrants on the road decreased.

Even the howls of jackals, tigers, and leopards around them were only heard sporadically.

The tension in everyone's hearts gradually eased.

The last rest stop was located 30 miles from Anning County.

Luo Houping glanced at the sky:

"We'll rest here for the night, and we'll be back in Anning County by tomorrow evening."

Wang Youfang breathed a sigh of relief:

"Finally, I'm rid of those frenzied refugees. This area is so much better!"

Li Chuan neither confirmed nor denied the claim.

Everyone relaxed a little, and smiles appeared on their faces as they chatted and ate their dry rations.

When we return to Anning County tomorrow, Ming Jinwu will be able to earn at least seven taels of silver from this trip.

That's more than two months' salary!

Moreover, we didn't encounter any danger, so it was definitely worth it.

Li Chuan had no interest in their boasting and went straight into the house.

"Uncle Luo, are these shields durable?" he asked while chewing on a dry, hard biscuit.

Luo Houping tore off a chicken leg for him:

"Of course it's durable. This isn't an ordinary wooden shield. Do you see those vines and leather ropes on it?"

They were all soaked in a special solution, making them exceptionally tough.

"If you have enough strength, you can even block the attacks of a martial artist with internal strength."

Luo Houping sighed with regret:

"We were trying to save some effort by using ordinary wooden shields, but when we encountered the lion pack, we couldn't stop them at all. More than a dozen people were killed or injured, and the carriages were all frightened and ran away."

Li Chuan sighed, "Those were all accidents, unavoidable."

After the two chatted for a while, a shout suddenly came from outside.

"Zhang Qiang, aren't you known as 'Thunder Hand'? Go up and spar with them!"

"Let's take a look at the famous Thunder Hand!"

Luo Houping explained with a smile:

"The nights are tough, so people often try to find something to do, but they're all rough guys who practice martial arts. They can't sing or dance, they can only do some boxing."

"Why don't you go and lend a hand and see what different styles there are? There are many people who have traveled all over the country here. Some use knives, some use arrows, and some use fists and palms."

Li Chuan thought about it and realized that he didn't really know much about the techniques of other schools, so it would be good to learn about them.

He followed Luo Houping out of the wooden house and saw that several bonfires had already been lit outside.

Around the campfire, two people were fighting, exchanging punches and kicks, making quite a scene.

The crowd dispersed to watch.

Thunderclap lived up to his reputation and won easily.

He was also an elderly man who delivered medicine, and he knew many people.

A large crowd cheered and applauded him.

Luo Houping introduced himself to the crowd:

"Li Chuan, a top student of Songfeng Martial Arts School, Zhang Qiang, you spar with him."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Li Chuan.

When Li Chuan joined the medicine delivery team, he rarely participated in useless social interactions and often focused on practicing his stances on his own.

He also enjoys "special treatment," which makes many people dislike him.

Zhang Qiang, the "Thunderbolt Hand," is one of them.

He curled his lip:

"Boss Luo, my palm technique isn't just for show. What if I injure this disciple of Li?"

Wang Youfang scoffed and spoke up for Li Chuan:

"To be honest, you really can't beat him!"

Li Chuan calmly said:

"It's alright. Fists and feet have no eyes. I'll take responsibility for any mistakes that happen."

Zhang Qiang was stunned:

"He's a tough guy, but I won't hold back."

Li Chuan didn't say anything more, but simply assumed a boxing stance.

Aside from exchanging punches with others in the martial arts school, he almost never engaged in direct combat.

His only two killings were both achieved through surprise attacks.

Therefore, this also made Li Chuan want to know what level his strength really was.

Seeing that Li Chuan remained motionless, Benlei Shou gradually lost patience.

His thigh muscles bulged, and he stomped his foot hard on the ground, lunging forward like an arrow to Li Chuan's side.

His right palm was incredibly fast, even producing a whooshing sound.

Li Chuan, on the other side, seemed to be still in shock.

As the large hand was about to press against Li Chuan's face, everyone held their breath in dismay.

If that hits hard, it'll take at least half a month to recover!

Unexpectedly, Li Chuan frowned.

In his eyes, this Thunder Hand seemed somewhat "weak"?

Li Chuan easily dodged the fatal palm strike by turning to the side.

The Thunder Hand looked shocked, not expecting Li Chuan to be so fast.

At this moment, his old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, leaving a large gap in his chest.

Li Chuan didn't miss the opportunity and immediately twisted his body backward.

Then, his left fist slammed into the Thunder Hand's chest like a cannonball.

"Crack!"

A burst of powerful energy!

The Thunder Hand was instantly sent flying, sliding dozens of meters on the ground before finally coming to a stop.

He forced back the sweet taste rising in his throat, and said with shame and indignation:

"I am inferior in skill!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The audience was completely silent.

No one expected Li Chuan to be so powerful, defeating Benlei Shou with a single punch.

Moreover, it looks relaxed and carefree, like an old man playing with a child.

However, no one was familiar with Li Chuan, so only Wang Youfang cheered for him.

Li Chuan was also a little stunned, looking at his fist.

I didn't expect to be this strong?

"That's true... My Qi and blood are almost fully accumulated, and I'm not far from mastering Tongbei Fist."

Li Chuan then defeated three more opponents in a row.

Some used knives, some used swords, and some even used bows.

Without exception, none of them could withstand more than three moves from him.

After testing his own strength and understanding the fighting styles of various schools, Li Chuan gave up his position.

"You all have been delivering medicine for several days and are in poor condition. My victory was by sheer luck," Li Chuan said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Li Chuan's words finally drew cheers.

Everyone knew that these words were just polite formalities, but they still felt very comfortable inside.

The hostility and rejection in her eyes when she looked at Li Chuan were gone.

Instead, there is awe and respect.

After going downstairs, Wang Youfang quickly came over, looking shocked:

"Your first delivery of medicine was about as good as mine, right? How come you're so strong after only a few months? Tell me honestly, what medicine did you use!"

Li Chuan said calmly:

"I am where I am today entirely due to my own hard work!"

Wang Youfang opened his mouth, but felt something was wrong and didn't know how to refute it.

As they chatted, the atmosphere around the campfire gradually warmed up.

Perhaps it was Li Chuan who warmed up the atmosphere, because the people who went up later were more relaxed.

The matches are getting more and more exciting and entertaining.

Luo Houping, who stood to the side, remained calm, but a glint flashed in his eyes.

Wang Youfang suddenly started rubbing his fingers incessantly:

"Ah Chuan, don't you notice it's getting quieter around here?"

"Yes, it's a bit like that. The sounds of birds and beasts seem to have disappeared. Why does it feel so familiar?" Li Chuan frowned, trying to recall when he had encountered such a scene before.

Wang Youfang's expression was solemn:

"Only when encountering a beast much stronger than themselves, other animals dare not make a sound."

Li Chuan's heart sank.

He remembered.

When the medicine was delivered for the first time, the white-browed ape, whose strength rivaled that of the Dark Force, appeared.

This is the scene!

next moment.

A monkey arm suddenly emerged from the bushes!
