Chapter 7: Revenge with a club
At night, the sky was covered with dark clouds and there were no stars in the sky.

The orange flames were burning fiercely in the barracks.

"drink!"

"It's been a while since we last met, guys. I won't go home until I'm drunk!"

……

The sound of clinking glasses and drinking cups continued, and then a slanted shadow cast by the fire stood up.

"You, you, you guys continue, I'm going to go get some water..."

Qiao Li walked out of the door holding on to the wall, his face flushed. He looked around drunkenly, then walked to the back of the barracks holding on to the wall.

Unbutton your belt.

The wind wet the toes of my shoes.

Then he shuddered all over and tied his belt into a knot with a smacking of his lips.

Suddenly, a dark shadow with an unclear face appeared silently behind him.

Bang!
A blow from a club knocked Qiao Li to the ground in an instant, and he fell on his butt into the urine and dirt on the ground.

"Uh... who..."

Qiao Li was still drunk and was about to get up mumbling.

However, the black shadow immediately hit him with another stick, knocking him unconscious completely.

Then there was a flurry of punches and kicks, all of which avoided vital parts of the body and focused on the face, and they didn't stop until the man's face was bruised and swollen.

Quiet!

Pooh!
Wu Fengdeng spat out a mouthful of sticky phlegm, then picked up his stick and hurried back to the door of his barracks under the cover of night.

He wiped the snow and mud off his shoes before walking in.

After a moment, the candle went out.

The next day, at the blacksmith shop.

"Have you heard that someone in the infantry battalion was beaten last night?"

"Hmm? Didn't they say private fighting is prohibited?"

"I don't know either. I just heard that he was beaten so badly that his face looked unrecognizable!"

"It's so cruel, has the murderer been caught?"

"It's definitely impossible to catch him. It's pitch dark. If he hits me from behind, who can see clearly?"

……

The new recruits have become friends with the veterans, and mentioned last night's anecdotes during their casual chats.

Wu Fengdeng concentrated on forging iron and did not participate in the other activities, acting as if he was unaware of anything going on.

"Little Wuzi!"

At this time, Lao Hu greeted him.

But I saw him holding a freshly forged blade with pliers. It was red hot and there was a continuous sizzling sound.

"In addition to mastering the temperature of the fire, quenching also requires precise control of one's own strength. To put it bluntly, it comes down to one word: steady!"

Lao Hu explained carefully, and then gently placed the red blade into the water.

Zizzi! !
Suddenly, white mist surged, the edge of the blade suddenly changed color, and a clear arc ran through the beginning and end.

Then Lao Hu's muscular arms kept picking up and releasing the blade, and the red-hot blade gradually took shape in these steady quenchings.

Wu Fengdeng watched quietly, and then he suddenly opened the Mirror of Ever-Victory as if he had a flash of enlightenment.

[Craftsman] Along the way, the two words [steady and vigorous] slowly light up.

With a slight shock in his mind, Wu Fengdeng suddenly felt that the existence of his arms became more real and sharp, and the control of his strength became more precise and steady. "The so-called steady strength is to steadily control one's own strength. It is used in tempering, which means steady hands and heavy strength. It can also be used in combat. Moreover, this kind of precise control of strength cannot be achieved without long-term practice."

Suddenly he understood what was going on, and Lao Hu took out a new piece of steel from the furnace.

"Try it."

When Wu Fengdeng gripped the pliers and applied force to his arms, he could even clearly feel the muscles in his arms bulging and contracting.

Zhi~zhi~
He fell into the water steadily just now, with white mist rising up. The force and angle were exactly the same as what Lao Hu had tested just now!

"Of course you can. This level of skill requires years of practice. You are so steady even though you have just started learning!"

Old Hu was once again impressed by Wu Fengdeng's comprehension.

Wu Fengdeng just smiled and said nothing.

After work in the evening, he practiced "The Art of War" again. No matter whether it was horse stance, arm extension, or standing alone, all the movements were more stable than before.

And if you observe carefully, you can find that the trajectory of each of his movements is exactly the same as the previous one, as if it were a pre-designed program, without any difference.

This is all the effect brought by [Stability]!
After finishing the five sets, while his whole body was still hot, Wu Fengdeng lowered his horse stance, clenched his right fist, and swung it out slowly and uneventfully.

The invisible force is hidden beneath the skin, and in that thousandth of a second, one can clearly capture its trajectory.

With a thought, his muscles suddenly tensed up.

work hard!

boom!
A strong wind rushed in, and a dull explosion swept away the white snow in front. The fireworks on the bonfire six meters away were extremely suppressed and then completely extinguished.

The power of this punch is so amazing!

"Just now, with the precise control of the Steady Strength attribute and the mobilization of the Power attribute, all the muscles in both arms were mobilized. The force of this punch must have been around 1,600 kilograms."

Wu Fengdeng secretly clicked his tongue. Although he had thought that [Steady Strength] could increase the power of his fist, he didn't expect the increase to be so obvious!

"It seems that the remaining [Steel Hand] and [Visit] skills will also be very useful. I must light them all up in the next few days!"

Having tasted the sweetness, Wu Fengdeng was full of energy for the next five days.

Forging iron, quenching, he was almost the one who was willing to work the hardest in the entire blacksmith shop. With crazy progress, he finally collected two business points and lit up the last two skills.

The so-called steel hands are hands of steel.

When the craftsman is forging, sparks often fly out and get on his hands. Over time, his hands will be burned and form calluses. The thicker the calluses, the harder the palms become.

This skill is a direct and simple way to enhance both hands, making Wu Fengdeng's hands harder and tougher than before. This is only the entry-level skill. In the Baojian demonstration, if one practices it to perfection, the palms can also be invulnerable to swords and guns, and can break rocks and split iron.

The last one, [Vision], is to enhance eyesight. It can be used in selecting high-quality minerals, and can also be used in daily life to make the eyes clear and the vision better.

At this point, all the skills of the [Craftsman] soldier type have been activated. Except for [Transportation Capacity] which is at a small level, the rest are at entry level.

"Although my proficiency is not high, at least for me right now, more skills mean more abilities. I can come back to the blacksmith shop to improve my skills when I have time in the future."

Wu Fengdeng clenched his fists, and only one noun remained in his mind.

Vanguard Battalion!
If you can be successfully selected, there will be a qualitative leap in resources and food!

"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is the selection day. With my early stage of skin refining, I still have great hope."

As I was thinking, the selection day arrived as scheduled.

That day, Lao Hu did not let Wu Fengdeng go to work. Instead, he bought two roast chickens and five white flour steamed buns with his own money, and let Wu Fengdeng eat and drink his fill before patting him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Wuzi, don't be afraid. You have become much stronger these days. Even if the people running against you are all leather-refining warriors, don't worry. Just do your best."

"If you succeed, just come back to my blacksmith shop. You're a treasure to me, hahaha!"

Old Hu smiled in a simple and honest manner.

Wu Fengdeng felt a little warm in his heart and nodded slightly.

"it is good!"
