Chapter 25 Microdermabrasion
I still remember the first time I met Zhang Lingshan. He was still a fool who stole money from his family to learn martial arts and then tried to commit suicide by banging his head against the wall.

As a result, it has been less than a year.

He has transformed himself from a short and stout guy who has never practiced martial arts into a strong man who can lift 200 kilograms.

It is only one step away from becoming a skin-smoothing warrior.

Shi Lei felt extremely complicated.

Others are making progress, but I am standing still. Is this how my life is going to be?
According to the rules of the martial arts school, after the skin is smoothed, you will not be able to refine the flesh within three years. The school will no longer provide meals and four-in-one soup, which is equivalent to driving you away.

And there is less than half a year left before the deadline.

If he still couldn't refine his body by then, he would have to leave the martial arts gym in disgrace, and either become a bodyguard for a household, or join a gang and become a small guard leader in a gambling house or brothel, or join an escort agency to escort goods.

In short, as long as I don't refine my body, my life will be like this.

Shi Lei was unwilling to accept this.

He silently picked up the stone lock and began to practice his strength without even the slightest thought of taking a rest or being lazy.

Zhang Lingshan had no idea what Shi Lei was thinking. Holding a two-hundred-pound stone lock, he performed the Red Line Fist in its entirety.

Not red in the face, not out of breath.

He fought more steadily than some of the skin-smoothing brothers in the yard, which showed that his physique and strength had completely reached the level of skin-smoothing.

Next, you just need to use iron sand to grind the skin on various parts of the body, combined with the special medicinal bath prepared in the martial arts hall.

With time, you will be able to successfully break through the skin resurfacing!
It's time to go find Master Hong.

So Zhang Lingshan went straight to the main residence to ask to see Master Hong.

"The master has gone out of town for something and won't be back for a while. All the important matters in the martial arts hall will be handed over to Master Zhao Qing, and I can take care of the small matters. What do you want?"

the steward asked.

Zhang Lingshan originally wanted to find Master Hong to report that he had trained the red line to his upper arms, but Master Hong was not here, so he just said that he had reached the conditions for skin grinding and applied for iron sand and medicinal bath.

The housekeeper nodded and said, "This is a small matter, there is no need to bother Master Zhao Qing. I have a 200-jin stone lock here, pick it up and perform the Red Line Fist for me to see."

"it is good."

Zhang Lingshan finished the fight quickly.

The housekeeper immediately arranged for him to take iron sand and medicinal bath.

This is a free service provided by the martial arts school and it doesn't cost much.

The birth of a skin-smoothing martial artist promoted the fame of the martial arts school externally and strengthened its strength internally.

It's a win-win situation.

After getting the iron sand and medicinal bath, Zhang Lingshan returned to the backyard of the martial arts hall and asked his senior brother Song Dazhuang to help him rub the skin on his back with the iron sand. He rubbed other places he could reach with the iron sand himself.

"Be patient."

Senior Brother Song Dazhuang consoled him, "All other senior brothers have gone through this. Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best."

"Ah."

Zhang Lingshan nodded heavily.

Among all his fellow disciples, he had the best relationship with Song Dazhuang. When they practiced Red Line Fist, it was always Song Dazhuang who fed him the moves.

Moreover, he used the stone lock to build up his strength most of the time and rarely fought, so there was no need for him to get to know his other fellow disciples.

This resulted in him only being familiar with Da Zhuang during the two months he had been training in the backyard, and he could only call out the names of most of the others, with whom he was just a nodding acquaintance.

Normally he doesn't pay attention to others, and others don't pay attention to him either. They ignore each other and only focus on refining their strength.

But today is different.

Zhang Lingshan found that when he was smoothing his skin, many people's eyes were cast towards him from time to time, and he suddenly became the focus.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for one day. On the second day, everyone continued to do their own things and had no time to appreciate Zhang Lingshan's practice.

However, his breakthrough made all his fellow disciples work much harder, and it seemed that everyone was stimulated.

This is not surprising.

Every time a fellow student in the academy makes a breakthrough, the others will be stimulated and feel that they can succeed as long as they work hard, so they are greatly encouraged.

But this enthusiasm only lasts for a few days at most.

After the excitement subsided, everything returned to normal.

'After ten days, my skin has indeed become thicker, but it is still a long way from being microdermabrasion.'

Zhang Lingshan sighed inwardly.

Only then did he realize the pain that ordinary people went through in their cultivation.

Because skin resurfacing is a slow process, unlike martial arts which can be achieved by adding energy, it cannot be accomplished overnight.

Dermabrasion requires constant rubbing of the skin with iron sand and repairing with medicated baths, thus allowing the skin to undergo a new transformation.

It's really tiring to repeat this process every day.

No wonder it’s called microdermabrasion.

The word "grind" is quite appropriate.

"Brother Dazhuang, you've been here for a long time. How long does it usually take to succeed in skin resurfacing?"

One day, Zhang Lingshan finally couldn't help but ask.

Song Dazhuang said, "Normally, it takes three months. For people with strong recovery ability, it can be completed in about a month. I think you are almost there, don't worry, too much is as bad as too little."

"Thank you very much for your kind words, Brother Dazhuang."

Zhang Lingshan smiled.

He found that although Brother Song Dazhuang was honest and simple, looked a little clumsy and not very smart, he could always speak wise words, and he did things neither arrogantly nor impatiently. He never said bad words or got angry at anyone. He was very steady and down-to-earth, and never cheated or played tricks.

Among all the fellow disciples Zhang Lingshan has met so far, the one he admires most is Song Dazhuang.

And Senior Brother Dazhuang also took good care of him.

Helped him answer a lot of questions.

For example, the resurfacing is divided into cowhide, stone skin and copper skin, which was told to him by Senior Brother Dazhuang.

As for the level of each skin-grinding brother in the yard, even though Song Dazhuang didn't like to ask about gossip, he knew them all clearly.

Like Shi Lei, it is the stone skin layer, which is the middle layer.

The strongest one is Brother Zhu Wei, who is at the peak of Bronze Skin and is said to be about to break through to Flesh Refining. Normally he does not appear in the martial arts gym and only shows up occasionally.

There are several senior brothers like Zhu Wei who have not come to the martial arts gym for a long time. Some have copper skin, some have stone skin, and even the most common cow skin.

I heard that they all have jobs outside and the money they earn is much more cost-effective than coming to the martial arts gym for a meal, so there is no need to come here and waste time.

Only when the Sihe Soup is distributed every four days, some people will come here during their free time.

"By the way, Brother Dazhuang, you know what kind of work they do. I'm a little short of money recently, and I also want to find a job that can make money."

Zhang Lingshan asked.

Song Dazhuang said, "Are you short of money? I have some spare money here. If you need it urgently, take it and use it first."

As he spoke, he took out a five-liang silver note from his pocket.

Zhang Lingshan couldn't help but feel surprised and moved.

Senior Brother Dazhuang usually keeps a low profile, but he unexpectedly took out five taels of such wealth and lent it to me generously without even asking when I could pay it back.

With friends like this, what more could I ask for!
