Chapter 26 Ultimate Iron Wire Fist, Qi and Blood Dispersing (Please continue reading~)

The next day.

Just as Li Mo had predicted, several gangs came knocking on their door one after another.

Most of them are gangs located in the area where the slums meet the outer city, while a small number are gangs located on the outskirts of the outer city.

They're all small gangs.

Apart from that, no information about affiliating with the store has been received.

That's normal. Those profitable shops all have martial artists backing them up, so they don't need to rely on Su Chen at all.

Su Chen selected several gangs he liked to affiliate with. The affiliation fees were not much; the combined fees from several gangs were less than the cost of a meal last night.

As for those gangs that didn't suit him, Su Chen rejected them without hesitation.

It wasn't until noon, when most of the gangs that were supposed to come had arrived, that Su Chen finally had some free time.

Just as he was about to go out for dinner, someone unexpected arrived.

"Senior Sister Fang Rou, you came to see me?"

Looking at Fang Rou standing at the door, Su Chen asked with some surprise.

Fang Rou smiled and nodded: "Yes, Junior Brother Su, I have a good job I'd like to discuss with you."

"Come in and talk."

After hearing this, Su Chen invited him in and asked, "What kind of good job is it?"

"It's like this, Junior Brother Su Chen, my family runs a fabric and silk business, and I'd like to invite you to join us. What do you think?"

Fang Rou got straight to the point.

"Well, as for the price, my family is willing to give my junior brother a monthly affiliation fee of ten taels."

Hearing this, Su Chen was taken aback: "Senior Sister Fang Rou, I've only just become your disciple, I'm afraid I'm not worth this price, am I?"

From his conversation with Li Mo last night, Su Chen roughly knew his market value.

Based on his current strength, whether it's a gang or a shop, he'd only get two taels at most.

Fang Rou, however, gave him ten taels at once, which aroused his curiosity.

“It’s not worth it now, but I heard from Senior Brother Li Mo that Junior Brother has a very high talent. He has never relied on anyone else in his cultivation so far, and has relied entirely on his own efforts. So the price I offered is based on Junior Brother’s potential.”

Fang Rou explained that she came with sincerity.

"Moreover, the reason I chose my junior brother was because Senior Brother Li Mo recommended him."

Li Mo had mentioned this last night, but Su Chen hadn't expected Fang Rou to ask for such a high price.

dong dong dong.

"Is Master Su Chen here?"

Just then, there was a knock at the door. A middle-aged man stood at the door and saw Su Chen in the courtyard.

"I am a member of the Zhou family."

Zhou family?

Su Chen had an idea and gestured for the middle-aged man to come in.

"What do you want?" Su Chen asked.

The middle-aged man replied, "It's like this, my second young master Zhou Shen learned that Master Su Chen has become a disciple of the Hong family's martial arts school, so he specially asked me to invite Master Su to a banquet at Zuixianlou tonight."

"Zhou Shen? Is he Zhou Tao's second brother?" Fang Rou asked in confusion.

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded: "Exactly."

Then, he looked at Su Chen and said, "Young Master Zhou Shen greatly admires Master Su and hopes that Master Su can do him the honor."

"What does he want from me?" Su Chen asked in return.

"This..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment.

"I'll go out first," Fang Rou said tactfully as she left.

After she left, the middle-aged man said:

"It is like this, Young Master Zhou Shen has long admired Master Su's name and would like to invite Master Su to serve as a retainer of the Zhou family, asking for one hundred taels."

He extended a finger, his voice trembling slightly, and his finger also quivered slightly.

He himself became quite excited when he spoke of the hundred taels.

Su Chen frowned, but wasn't surprised by the number; after all, he was a worldly man. The so-called retainers were essentially private bodyguards.

Although it's easier than being a slave, you have to sign a contract. This kind of contract is similar to a weakened version of a contract of servitude, and it usually has a time limit.

After signing, your personal freedom will be greatly restricted.

Su Chen naturally couldn't agree, so he shook his head and refused: "Sorry, I don't have that plan yet."

The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback. Seeing that Su Chen was serious, he didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

A moment later, Fang Rou walked in and said, "Junior Brother Su, how about this, I'll raise the price to fifteen taels, what do you think?"

She had overheard the middle-aged man's offer and was secretly shocked, never expecting that Su Chen would attract Zhou Shen's invitation.

The asking price of one hundred taels is enough to show how much Zhou Shen values ​​Su Chen.

After some thought, she raised the price, which was the limit she could offer.

But she was still filled with anxiety, worried that Su Chen would refuse, after all, he had refused the hundred taels so decisively just now.

"it is good!"

"Then I'll disturb you, Junior Brother... Ah!"

Fang Rou, who thought Su Chen would refuse, stopped speaking abruptly upon hearing this, blinking her bright eyes as if she couldn't believe it.

"Alright, I'll prepare the contract right away." Fang Rou smiled.

Half an hour later, Fang Rou brought the contract. Su Chen looked at it and found no problems, so he signed it.

"Senior Sister Fang Rou, could you please advance me fifteen taels?"

Seeing that Fang Rou was about to leave, Su Chen called out to her, coughed lightly, and asked.

"it is good!"

Fang Rou readily took out fifteen taels of silver, handed it to Su Chen, and then turned and left with light steps.

Afterwards, Su Chen went to the money exchange.

I closed the door after I got back; I don't plan to go out today.

Because at this point, he had already earned one hundred taels of silver, which he had exchanged for ten taels of gold.

"It's time to improve your Iron Wire Fist!"

The reason for prioritizing Iron Palm was that Iron Wire Fist was too easily exposed.

The scene of fighting with Liu Heishui is still vivid in my mind; the other party recognized Iron Wire Fist at a glance.

That's why Su Chen improved his Iron Sand Palm technique, but now, the Iron Sand Palm has reached its limit.

The Ape Arm Skill is sufficient for now, but there isn't enough money to upgrade either the Tortoise Shell Skill or the Bone Shrinking Skill to their maximum level, so I simply upgraded the Iron Wire Fist.

More importantly, he also wanted to know what changes Iron Wire Fist would bring to Iron Sand Palm after being pushed to its limit.

[Easy Mode Activated: Practice punching in mid-air for one hour to reach the limit of Iron Wire Fist.]

After topping up, Su Chen immediately activated the easy mode.

As the prompt on the panel lit up, Su Chen began to punch in mid-air.

Hu Hu Hu.

Soon, an hour had passed.

As a warm sensation spread across his arms, a black line of blood appeared, indicating that Su Chen had fully mastered the Iron Wire Fist to its limit.

On the panel:
Martial Arts: Iron Wire Fist (Ultimate), Iron Sand Palm (Ultimate)...

[Easy Mode: Iron Wire Fist 0 times (None) Iron Palm 0 times (Extreme Iron Wire Fist/time)...]

Looking at the panel, Su Chen asked in confusion, "How do I operate it?"

Before the words were even finished, the panel automatically changed:
[Martial Arts: Iron Shirt - Incomplete (Not yet mastered)...]

[Easy Mode: Iron Shirt - 0 uses (10 doses of Qi and Blood Powder/use)...]

"Iron Palm and Iron Wire Fist have merged to form Iron Shirt?"

Seeing this, Su Chen was somewhat surprised, but then looked bewildered.
"But what about this Qi and Blood Powder?"
