I can't be a demon

Shen Lian's mouth twitched, and he realized through identifying the objects that the starling seemed to have sneaked into the ghost market and did something he dared not do.

"What a courageous fool."

Chapter 24 Warrior Promotion [Sharp-toothed Warrior]

At the same time.

The ghost market was in a mess.

The remains of the ransom ghost were scattered all over the ground, and the resentment in the sky was gone.

"Ah~"

The cry echoed.

The starling stood at the top of the path, and countless smoke and dust poured out of its slightly opened beak, and the ghost faces could be vaguely seen.

Snap.

The starling's claws loosened, and the more than two-meter-long broken arm of the ransom ghost fell to the ground.

From the copper coins inlaid on the surface of the broken arm, it can be seen that it was the hundred-year-old ransom ghost who attacked Shen Lian, and now the broken arm has no resentment.

The starling could not go deep into the ghost market, and it was satisfied to vent its anger.

Wings flapped.

The starling disappeared into the night.

………

Shen Lian was extremely cautious. After all, he was just a martial arts apprentice. Even though he had few rivals at the same level, he still had to keep a low profile.

It was not a bad thing to see blood before. His understanding of the Jichao Fist became clearer.

He called out the occupation panel and saw [Jichao Fist (Small Success)]. Sure enough, it was better to fight monsters and level up outside than to practice hard.

Shen Lian took a long detour along the West City District and returned to the pawnshop when the sky was slightly bright.

"Why do I feel that something big has happened in Yanliang Town recently?"

He noticed that the government dispatched yamen runners all over the town, as if they were stepping up their vigilance, but it was a bit like thunder and rain.

From the perspective of the government.

A thousand-year-old demon with unknown intentions was lurking in Yanliang Town.

With the current staff of the government, it was really powerless. Even the soul-calling case had to ask the court to dispatch more Jinwu Guards.

We can only hope that the thousand-year-old demon came for the ghost market.

However, the fact seems to be so. The ghost market was temporarily closed that night. The warriors who witnessed the nine-eared demon were all very secretive and dared not talk about the strange disaster they experienced.

No one would doubt that the culprit was the young master of the Shen family pawnshop.

As soon as Shen Lian got home, he went straight to the birdcage in the corner of the wing room.

"You kid..."

The wooden birdcage was intact, and the starling was still in it, but it was lying flat with its wings spread, its eyes closed, and its head tilted.

The level of pretending to sleep is really hard to praise.

Shen Lian couldn't help but feel relieved, fearing that the starling would turn over in the ghost market.

As the fundamental thing bound to the nine-eared courtier, the starling is likely to affect the subsequent promotion of the profession once it dies, so it has to be taken seriously.

"Hey, try to take it with you in the future, the starling is too damn troublesome."

Shen Lian was slightly annoyed, picked up the starling and threw it out of the window. The latter quickly adjusted his posture and flew back to the birdcage, closing the cage door skillfully.

"Ah~ Master Ba, I have to be both a father and a son, it's so hard~"

The starling laughed frivolously.

"Don't ask someone to identify you for no reason, just weigh your own weight."

Shen Lian resisted the urge to beat up the starling, and sat at the wooden table to flip through three secret books.

The herbs continuously turned into nutrients, replenishing the spirit of a sleepless night, and at the same time promoting the formation of a large-scale Zhulang Jin.

Even when Shen Lian was reading, his flesh and blood were still in the frequency of Zhulang Zhuang.

After a long time, he flipped through the general contents of the three martial arts and realized a very critical point, the conflict of martial arts.

"The fighting method is fine, and the horizontal training and the simultaneous practice are not a big problem, but the Zhuang method..."

Although the horizontal training has a lot of life-threatening minor problems, they can coexist with each other. Even if the acupoints involved are repeated, it will at most affect the power of the two horizontal trainings.

Only the Zhuang method, alas.

Shen Lian pinched his nose with a headache. The synthesis required two perfect martial arts. No matter what, Yangyuan Zhuang had to try it once or twice.

"Let's practice horizontally first, and slowly figure out the tricks of Zhuang method during this period."

After Shen Lian read the secret book, he started practicing martial arts that afternoon.

The muffled sound of hardwood sticks hitting each other was heard again in the courtyard of the pawnshop.

After the two pawnbrokers received Shen Lian's promise to teach them something, they immediately got excited and hit their backs with more force and force.

As for the Iron Arm Kung Fu, the training conditions are different from the Iron Shirt.

The Iron Arm Kung Fu requires the arms to continue to be baptized by boiling iron sand, and the acupoints are stimulated by high temperature until the tempering is completed.

Soon, a large pot filled with iron sand appeared next to the medicinal food.

Shen Lian was not used to the burning of iron sand at first, and practiced it once every two hours, but as he mastered it more, he found that the difficulty of practicing Iron Arm Kung Fu was far less than that of Iron Shirt.

Mainly because the fire can be controlled to adjust the temperature of the iron sand.

Shen Lian buried his arm in the iron sand, and during this time, he continued to take medicinal food. The acupoints were tempered all the time, unlike the iron shirt, which had to be interrupted occasionally.

In just five days, the Iron Arm Kung Fu reached a small success.

"Hah."

Shen Lian used the Iron Arm Kung Fu that he had just promoted. The muscles in his arms bulged, and the skin and flesh turned slightly purple due to the rapid blood flow.

"Not bad, the Tide-Strike Fist has at least increased its power by 50%."

Shen Lian was in a good mood and asked Dang Ding to rest for a while. He then performed the Tide-Strike Fist. The whirring sound seemed to have a thousand pounds of force.

Sweat streaked across.

Shen Lian used his fist to catch the sweat, letting the water droplets hang in the air. The wave-chasing force made the water droplets gather but not disperse, which showed the mysterious characteristics of the tide-storing characteristics.

Bang.

The water droplets exploded and turned into a white mist.

Shen Lian restrained his strength and was very satisfied with the blessing of the Iron Arm Kung Fu.

"Okay, continue to polish the body."

………

Ma Yi took the opportunity to deliver the third batch of pickled fish to the pawnshop before the New Year. He noticed the movement in the courtyard and felt uneasy.

No, why does it feel like a lynching?

Ma Yi was so scared that his face turned pale.

He had originally wanted to raise the price of pickled fish, but now he dared not speak.

Wang Lao was afraid that something bad would happen to the old man, so he took the pickled fish and reminded him: "The young master is practicing martial arts in the courtyard, please forgive me."

"I understand."

Ma Yi smiled awkwardly and put away the silver.

"It's true that I'm practicing martial arts. My father-in-law hasn't been to the pawnshop for a while."

Shen Lian felt the throbbing of the bone blade and came to the lobby.

"Hiss."

Ma Yi took a breath of cold air.

Wang Lao and others saw Shen Lian every day, but they had no intuitive feeling of the latter's changes. In fact, it can be described as a complete transformation.

Shen Lian's height reached 1.8 meters, with smooth lines all over his body. Just standing there, he revealed a terrifying aura that threatened his life.

Wang Lao suddenly thought of the tiger that had come down the mountain, which he had seen once before. Every move showed the deterrence of the mountain king, and the breath was extremely strong.

"Young... Young Master, I asked several people in the village to catch fish and pickle fish together. You see, the pickled fish brought today is more than before."

"The price can be increased by another 10%."

Ma Yi was overjoyed, "Young Master, we found a few big fish in the tributary. We will be able to catch them by weaving a fishing net after the spring."

"If you want it, I will find a way to send it to the pawnshop, but the fish is a bit strange, it can actually crawl onto the shore..."

Amphibious fish?

Shen Lian's first reaction was the mudskipper in his previous life.
