Martial Arts Becomes Invincible Starting from the Golden Body

Chapter 16: Bravery
Practice room

Fang Chen took a deep breath, took out a small jade bottle from his arms, and poured out a blood-red pill.

This is the Divine Brave Pill, a pill used by martial artists to hone their strength. The market price of one pill is ten taels of silver.

However, the martial arts school has preferential treatment for elite disciples. In addition to the monthly quota of six coins, they can also spend their own silver to purchase them in the martial arts school, and each coin only costs eight taels of silver.

Fang Chen looked at the pill and took it after hesitating for a while.

He was confident that with his current physical condition, except for his inferior strength, he should not be much worse than the average martial artist in other aspects.

He didn't know whether there was an even stronger physique above the superior one, but his talent was much stronger now than it was two days ago!
"Gudong!"

Fang Chen swallowed the pill in one gulp, and his body reacted immediately.

His face suddenly turned red and he felt the powerful effect of the medicine running through his body. In the process, his body was also getting stronger!
"wild!"

This medicine is indeed much stronger than the health-preserving soup, but fortunately, his expectation was correct and his body can withstand it.

In the training room, Fang Chen performed strange movements over and over again until the temperature of his body surface returned to normal.

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Fang Chen sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, his sweat soaking the floor.

"The effect of this magical pill is extraordinary. If I continue like this, it won't be long before I can achieve a breakthrough in health preservation!" Fang Chen said to himself while sitting on the ground.

Moreover, most of the medicinal power of the Shenyong Pill is still hidden in your body, and will be slowly absorbed by your body as you practice martial arts.

"It is best to take one pill every three days!"

This way, the efficacy of the medicine will not be wasted, nor will it put too much burden on the body.

“This is the key!”

【Fang Chen】

[Realm]: Small achievement in health preservation
[Talent Sequence]: Golden Body (① Copper Skin and Iron Bones 27%)

[Martial Arts]: Lieyang Fist (Beginner)
[Talent Value]: 0
There haven't been any major changes in other aspects, but the progress of the Copper Skin and Iron Bones has increased by another 2%, and perfection is just around the corner!

“It’s time to make money!”

Fang Chensi originally thought that the elite disciple's quota was enough for him to practice, but now it seems that it is not enough, and he also needs to start saving money to upgrade his talent sequence. One thousand taels of silver is not easy to come by.

He first thought of Liuyin Mountains, but hunting exotic beasts was too dangerous. His defense was good now, but his strength was too poor, so it was not safe.

"Ugh!"

After thinking for a while, Fang Chen still had no good ideas, so he simply opened the door of the practice room and walked out.

The sun had set outside, the sky had grown slightly dark, and time had passed quietly without anyone noticing.

Li clan land
Li Zhong was practicing martial arts in the martial arts field when he saw a large tripod being lifted high up. He used it as a weapon and smashed it at the martial artist that his family had arranged to practice with him.

When the man saw the big tripod coming, his face changed drastically and he kept dodging and defending, but if he defended for too long, he would lose, and he couldn't find a chance to counterattack.

Finally, he was unable to dodge the attack and he hurriedly bent his arms to block it, but he was ultimately defeated and his whole body flew out!
"puff!"

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the man didn't bother to wipe the blood off his body. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, young master, on your breakthrough in training!"

Li Zhong also showed a little joy on his face, but he quickly restrained it. He waved his hand and said, "It's just a great training, not a breakthrough training, it's not worth mentioning!"

Before the servants could react, a loud voice rang out in the yard.

"Well, my son has great ambitions!"

A tall and sturdy figure walked up to Li Zhong in just three or two steps, and he patted his son's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Well, it's really grown up, worthy of being my son!"

Li Zhong's expression of joy flashed across his face, and he immediately said reservedly, "Father, you are too kind."

Li Tao was even more appreciative. He himself was a rough man, but he liked his son's character of not showing his joy on his face, which was very similar to those patriarchs of aristocratic families.

"With your progress, your cultivation speed is not much worse than that of a person with superior aptitude."

A strange look flashed in Li Zhong's eyes, and he asked, "Is it really impossible to match the superior physique of the same realm?"

Li Tao knew what his son meant. He sighed and said, "When I was young, I had similar ideas to you, but... well, I'll tell you this." He walked to the stone table and sat down, and said seriously, "Take the most common innate divine power among the superior root bones as an example. There are many kinds of innate divine power, and the strength of an ox is the most common one."

"The limit of this bull's strength is ten thousand pounds of strength. It can grow to its peak when the strength training is perfected. This means that at the realm of perfect strength training, a person with the talent of one bull's strength will have ten thousand pounds more strength than an ordinary warrior!"

Li Zhong slowly opened his mouth. He was now at the great stage of strength training and possessed a force of seven thousand pounds. This was because the martial arts he practiced was the "Giant Cauldron Skill".

This martial art is considered top-notch among ordinary martial artists, and it focuses on increasing strength. Otherwise, the strength possessed by ordinary martial artists who have mastered martial arts is usually around six thousand kilograms.

He estimated that his limit would be nine thousand pounds of force when he broke through to perfection, and as his father said, the possessor of this bull's strength could increase his strength by ten thousand pounds just by talent.

If one adds realm and technique, his power will be almost twice as strong as his own!
If he fought against him, he would definitely be defeated in one blow. However, according to his father, this was just an ordinary talent.

Superior physique, invincible!
This sentence flashed through Li Zhong's mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little fear towards Fang Chen, whose realm was far lower than his.

Seeing his son's appearance, Li Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Some people's achievements are indeed destined to be extraordinary from birth."

He was afraid that his son would be discouraged, so he comforted him: "Zhong'er, don't compare yourself too much with them. You just need to break through and practice your strength. By then, with the strength of you and me, we will surely achieve something!"

He added: "Besides, there are very few people with superior physiques, especially in Tongcheng. Generally, only those who inherit from major forces have superior physiques. You don't need to worry too much."

"Uh, by the way, why did you suddenly think of asking these questions today?"

Hearing his father's question, Li Zhong was just about to answer when Xu Bo walked over quickly.

"Master, Master!"

The two nodded, and Li Zhong gave them a look, letting Xu Bo answer his father's question.

Xu Bo understood. He bowed to Li Tao first, and then said to Li Zhong: "Master, the matter you asked me to investigate has a result!"

Li Zhong was delighted and said, "Tell me quickly!"

Li Tao watched with great interest at the side while Xu Bo began to tell the story.

"Fang Chen came from a poor family in the outer city. He somehow got the money and joined the Liyang Martial Arts School."

He continued, "He met Liu Yuan in the martial arts hall. Liu Yuan was lucky enough to give Fang Chen's family a property under his name to live in. The relationship between the two should not be considered close."

"It is said that Fang Chen was not taken seriously before because the senior brother of Liyang Martial Arts School misjudged his physique."

"It was because the owner of the hall recently retested his physique that he became so prosperous. As soon as Liu Yuan came back, he went to deepen the relationship."

Li Zhong frowned, "That's all?"

Xu Bo nodded, and seeing this, Li Zhong's expression also looked much better. This means that Fang Chen and Liu Yuan are not as close as imagined.

At this time, Li Tao, who had been listening for a long time, spoke up, "Is the Fang Chen you are talking about the one who suddenly appeared in the Liyang Martial Arts School with a superior aptitude?"

Li Zhongzai nodded with a wry smile and told everything that happened in Tianxiang Tower.

"Oh, if that's the case, Zhong'er, you handled it well. You gave Fang Chen enough face. He doesn't have much friendship with the kid from the Liu family, so there's no need for him to make things difficult for my Li family!"

Li Tao is very satisfied with his son's actions. People outside say that he is reckless, but they don't think about whether Li Tao was able to build this family business just by being reckless?
Li Zhong also echoed, "My son thinks so too."

"But it's not enough!"

"Oh?" Li Tao gave him a puzzled look.

Li Zhong smiled and said, "I will take this opportunity to visit you and apologize tomorrow!"

Li Tao quickly understood what he meant, "Are you planning to take the initiative to make friends with him?"

Li Zhong nodded proudly, "That's right! Since we have this excuse to apologize, maybe we can recruit them as our helper! Then we can give the Liu family a blow to their rebellion!"

"Haha, my son is really smart!"

Li Tao laughed, "You can withdraw all your expenses from the account office."

He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Remember! No matter how good your words are, they can't compare to money!"

"Don't be stingy, my son!"

He just walked away laughing.

Li Zhong also smiled along. Of course he understood these principles, but if he said them all, wouldn't it make his father look stupid?
His father had many wives and concubines and many children, so why was he able to be the top one?
This is not just because of talent!
