Practice starts from a small soldier

Chapter 9 Corporal, Come and Cut Me Down
"Nonsence!"

Zhang Qi opened his mouth and spat out the iron thread grass.

This thing is not meant for human consumption at all, it is a hundred times tougher than the raw cowhide he has eaten before, it cannot be bitten or torn, and if it is bitten hard, it will cause a toothache.

"Haha."

Shuihu and the other soldiers all laughed.

Wang Changxin persuaded again: "Zhang Sanlang, you should change to another practice."

Zhang Qi is not the kind of person who gives up lightly. He swept his eyes and saw the cold iron and gold-scaled knife on the waist of the Wuchang, his eyes lit up, and said: "Lieutenant, let me borrow your knife. .”

"It's useless."

Wang Changxin shook his head and said, "I've tried it before. This iron thread grass looks soft, but it keeps cutting."

"If you can't cut it once, then cut it a few more times."

Zhang Qi said cheekily.

Wang Changxin showed helplessness, pulled out his knife, and said, "Let me do it."

"Then there's Captain Law."

Zhang Qi chuckled.

Corporal Chief is a master at using knives, so if he is willing to help, that would be the best.

boom! boom! boom!
Wang Changxin asked Zhang Qi to place the piece of wire grass on the ground, and then swung the knife to chop it dozens of times, each time on the same part, which shows the precision of the knife technique.

Finally, a small piece of wire grass, about the length of a finger, was cut down.

He was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

Cutting off the heads of a hundred people is not so strenuous.

"Captain, you have worked hard."

Zhang Qi picked up the small piece of iron wire grass from the ground. With this size, it shouldn't be a problem to swallow it.

After washing with water.

In front of everyone, he swallowed this small piece of wire grass abruptly into his stomach.

"How does it feel?"

Wang Changxin asked impatiently.

"return……"

Zhang Qi was about to speak, when suddenly his throat choked up, and immediately after, a strong choking sensation came from his entire stomach.

That feeling was like swallowing an oversized iron weight.

Zhang Qi was choked and almost suffocated.

"This level of indigestion is really fatal..."

He didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly started punching, in fact, he was practicing the "Golden Food Kung Fu".

Seeing this, Wang Changxin waved his hand and led four other soldiers out of the beacon tower, leaving Zhang Qi inside to practice alone.

Inside the beacon tower.

Zhang Qi's punching movements became faster and more violent.

Along with his movements, his body began to sweat profusely, and white sweat rose from his body...

Zhang Qi could clearly feel it.

The qi and blood in his body are constantly gathering towards the stomach, and the whole stomach has become extremely hot, like a small stove.

The piece of iron wire grass that was swallowed into the stomach was being digested.

The choking sensation continues to subside.

Also.

He can still feel that there is a warm current gushing from his stomach, flowing to all parts of his body...

"almost."

After the choking feeling in his stomach completely disappeared, Zhang Qi sat cross-legged and began to silently digest and absorb the nutrition and energy provided by the iron thread grass.

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhang Qi finished his training and opened his eyes.

Opening his mouth again, he exhaled a few mouthfuls of steaming white air, which was extremely hot.

"As expected of a skill with an above-average rating!"

After feeling the changes in his body, Zhang Qi opened the panel to have a look.

【Shou Yuan: 51】

[Vigor and blood: 1.9]

【Root bone: 1.1】

【Prime Spirit: 2.0】

[Martial Arts: Five Tiger Spear (100%), Lianzhu Arrow Technique (0%), Gold Eater Skill (1%)]

For the first time practicing, the proficiency of "Shi Jin Gong" only increased by 1%.

But his qi and blood jumped from 1.6 to 1.9, a full increase of 0.3.If the "Food Gold Kungfu" is cultivated to 100%, then it will not take off.

It's not just an increase in Qi and blood.

The biggest effect of this "Food Gold Kungfu" is actually to increase the rigidity and toughness of the physical body, which is a bit similar to hard skills such as golden bell jars and iron cloth shirts.

The next two days.

Zhang Qi continued his efforts and ate all the first iron thread grass into his stomach, refining and absorbing it.

[Food gold skill, proficiency 3%]

Qi and blood continued to increase to 2.3.

Zhang Qi thought, after eating the remaining three iron wire plants, the proficiency should reach 10%.

With the help of the panel, he didn't have to worry about indigestion caused by eating the iron thread grass, but worried that the iron thread grass would not be enough for him to eat.

Day three.

The matter of Wang Changxin's military merit conferment was finally done.

He officially became a corporal.

Among the aristocratic groups of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although corporals were only at the bottom, they were undoubtedly a huge leap compared to their previous status as civilians.

Wang Changxin was very happy, brought some food and wine, and treated the five soldiers under him to have a good meal.

Also worth mentioning.

The dog cavalry who were waiting for an opportunity outside the Great Wall disappeared completely, and they were not seen for half a month.

Wang Changxin found out some rumors.

It is said that the tribe of the dog soldiers encountered some serious trouble, and all the tens of thousands of dog soldiers withdrew.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Every year before winter comes, the Quanrong people will go south to plunder. The Great Wall is the first line of defense against the Quanrong people, and it is almost the only line of defense.

In order to defend the Great Wall, many people die every year.

Just a month ago, more than 20 beacon towers fell, and all the defenders died in battle. A dog cavalry even crossed the Great Wall and took the opportunity to loot a nearby town.

The whole Beiliang County was shaken by it.

a few days later.

The news came that the Quanrong people had suffered from wolves.

For the Quanrong people, the wolf disaster is a more terrible disaster than the white disaster.

Those who died in the white calamity were animals.

And the plague of wolves devours all living things.

Countless direwolves swarmed down from the extreme north.

These ferocious and powerful direwolves will kill any prey in sight.

Every time a wolf disaster breaks out, the strength of the Quanrong people will be severely injured, and hundreds of Quanrong tribes will completely disappear in this terrible catastrophe.

Hearing this news, the frontier soldiers guarding the Great Wall cheered endlessly.

The enemy's pain is my joy.

These soldiers, who had been harassed by the dog soldiers for several months, wished that the direwolves would eat up all the dog soldiers on the grassland, so as to avoid future troubles.

When Zhang Qi heard the news, he asked the captain, "Will the direwolves attack us?"

"Zhang Sanlang, you are worrying unnecessarily."

Wang Changxin retorted on the spot: "Over the years, I have never heard of direwolves attacking the Great Wall on the border. There are countless cattle and sheep on the grassland, enough to feed those beasts."

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

Zhang Qi thought to himself: Forget it, what am I, a grassroots soldier, doing with so much focus? Practice is the most important thing.

In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.

The Great Wall at the border was as calm as ever, except for the cold wind blowing from the north, not even a ghost could be seen.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Qi practiced crazily and ate up all the remaining iron thread grass.

[Food gold skill, proficiency 11%]

HP increased to 3.5.

In the process of cultivation, the proficiency of the "Food Gold Kungfu" has steadily increased, but the increase in energy and blood has slowed down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Because qi and blood grow exponentially.

The further you go, the more difficult it is to increase your qi and blood, but the more significant the effect is.

"With my punch, it shouldn't be a problem to kill a cow."

After Zhang Qi finished training, he punched a brick under his feet to pieces, and even turned some into powder.

Looking at the fist again, it was unharmed, and it was still shining with white light.

After practicing for this period of time, the skin on his body gradually changed from dark to pale white, and even glowed with metal, just like the iron thread weeds he ate.

Ever since he practiced this "Golden Food Kungfu", Zhang Qi felt that he was becoming less and less like a normal person.

But it doesn't matter, if you don't be a man, you won't be a man.

Now his mind is full of cultivation, and the joy of becoming stronger through cultivation is an unprecedented experience, which makes him deeply immersed in it.

"Is this the realm of iron skin?"

Zhang Qi looked at his fist glowing with white light, and couldn't help but think of the contents of "Food Gold Kung Fu".

Practitioners, after three years of penance, can go into the hall and enter the house. The skin is as tough as iron, and needles can't get in.

At this time, it was hard to hurt with a knife or a gun.

"Is there something wrong? After all, I have only practiced for less than half a month. Even if the panel is open, I won't be so perverted..."

While thinking about it, Zhang Qi suddenly saw the corporal leader returning from his patrol.

He quickly stood up, walked over quickly, stretched out his arm, and said excitedly to the corps leader Wang Changxin:
"Captain, come and cut me down."
