We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Chapter 28 Five doses of medicine enhance Qi and blood.
"Not bad, it seems you haven't been slacking off lately. Your moves are skillful and fluid, it's clear you've put in the effort."

After a brief exchange with Su Chen, Hong Ming gave a nonchalant comment, but he was somewhat frustrated inside.

"Strange, why do I always feel like I can't muster any strength when fighting this kid?"

He was naturally unaware that Su Chen's understanding of boxing techniques had already surpassed his own.

The two fought as if it were not a friendly exchange, but rather as if Su Chen was instructing Hong Ming.

Su Chen smiled and looked at Hong Ming expectantly.

Hongming chuckled upon seeing this, then went inside and took out five packets of medicine.

"I was originally planning to give you only three portions, but seeing your performance, I'll give you two more. Come see me every seven days to collect your Qi and Blood Powder."

Hong Ming handed the Qi and Blood Powder to Su Chen, and then explained to Su Chen how to use the Qi and Blood Powder and the interval between uses.

"Remember, you are just starting out, so don't use medicine too quickly. One dose of medicine should last for three days. Don't rush things, or you may damage your body."

Su Chen nodded, chatted with Hong Ming for a while longer, and then turned to leave.

"Su Chen..."

Outside the courtyard, Qin Hao caught a glimpse of Su Chen and realized that Su Chen had come to the martial arts school.

When he saw the five portions of medicinal herbs in Su Chen's hand, his gaze sharpened slightly.

"Xiao Hao, come on, let's continue our sparring today."

Upon entering the inner courtyard, Hong Ming beckoned Qin Hao over, as he had been training Qin Hao for some time.

Qin Hao nodded, assumed a fighting stance, and began sparring with Hong Ming.

After sparring for a while, Qin Hao became panting: "Strange, why are Master's moves so fierce today?"

Thinking this, Hong Ming's voice rang out: "Xiao Hao, have you been slacking off lately?"

"Master, I didn't!"

"You still say you haven't? Your moves have become much looser. You'll have to practice extra today!"

"Yes, Master!"

……

Back home, Su Chen couldn't wait to brew the medicine.

He needed to verify whether the "Qi and Blood Powder" that Hong Ming mentioned was the same "Qi and Blood Powder" noted on the panel.

He took out a packet of medicine, which was more like herbs crushed into powder than medicine.

It's probably because they were afraid someone would steal their skills, so they made it this way.

Su Chen didn't pay any attention. As Hong Ming said, one packet of medicine could be used for three days and should be divided into three small doses.

"However, with my abilities, even if I used a whole pack, it probably wouldn't have much of an impact."

After hesitating for a moment, Su Chen simply poured the entire packet of medicine in.

Soon, a rich aroma of medicinal herbs wafted from the medicine pot and spread throughout the kitchen.

Fortunately, it wasn't the kind of smell that makes you feel nauseous; if you smelled it carefully, you could even detect a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs.

After simmering for about fifteen minutes, Su Chen glanced at the slightly reddish liquid and knew it was almost ready, so he picked up the medicine pot.

After pouring out the medicine, there was one and a half bowls. After waiting for about ten minutes, Su Chen picked up the half bowl of medicine and drank it.

After finishing his drink, he looked at the control panel and found that nothing had changed.

"Did we make a mistake? Or do we have to drink the other bowl?"

Su Chen felt a chill run down his spine and suddenly became somewhat nervous.

He then turned his gaze to another bowl, picked it up, and drank it down in one gulp.

After swallowing a bowl and a half of the qi and blood, Su Chen felt warm all over, and the temperature around him seemed to suddenly become hot.

"There's been a change!"

Su Chen's face lit up with joy; the panel was no longer the same as before, but had undergone some changes:

[...Iron Shirt - 0 times (0.8/10 doses of Qi and Blood Powder/time)]

Su Chen: "..."

There are some changes, but not many, and they're still a bit abstract. "One dose of Qi and Blood Powder is equivalent to 0.8 doses of Qi and Blood Powder? Are you trying to give me a math problem?!"

Su Chen complained somewhat speechlessly, but it was just a complaint, since the change meant that he hadn't gone astray.

"I can't take it anymore, I took too much medicine."

Suddenly, Su Chen's expression changed slightly. He felt the surging blood and qi within his body and immediately ran out of the kitchen.

Then, in the courtyard, he began practicing boxing like crazy.

This training session lasted a full half hour before Su Chen felt the heat in his body gradually subside.

He stopped what he was doing, covered in sweat, his breathing a little disordered, but his expression was somewhat lighthearted.

"After the injection, I felt much better all over. But I can't drink the medicine today. I'll wait until tomorrow."

The Qi and Blood Powder is quite effective, but given Su Chen's current condition, it's not suitable for him to continue drinking it.

If we continue taking it, I'm afraid my body won't be able to handle it.

And so, five days passed in a row.

The panel has been changed:

[...Iron Shirt - 0 times (5/10 doses of Qi and Blood Powder/time)]

Inside the courtyard, Su Chen had just finished practicing his boxing. He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and a smile appeared on his face.

For the past five days, Su Chen has been taking one dose of Qi and Blood Powder daily.

The effect is remarkable.

This directly advanced the progress of unlocking the Iron Shirt Easy Mode by half.

The reason for this was that Su Chen controlled the amount of water on the second day, and only brewed one bowl of medicine.

As a result, after swallowing it, the amount of qi and blood increased significantly, pushing the progress to two-tenths at once.

It wasn't until after that incident that Su Chen learned that the progress of the decoction panel was based on the effects of the medicine on blood circulation.

Unfortunately, in the next three attempts, using the same method, the progress of each dose of medicine was not the same; sometimes it was more, sometimes less.

Overall it was good, though; after using it, it pushed the progress of the ten portions of medicinal herbs to halfway.

Su Chen guessed that the medicinal effects of each dose of Qi and Blood Powder might be different, which would cause such a discrepancy under the same operating conditions.

Of course, it's also possible that Su Chen's medicine-brewing technique was inconsistent.

After five days of taking the medication, Su Chen now feels...

Well, to put it simply, he's as strong as an ox.

It's not his physique, of course; his physique hasn't changed much.

It's not about qi and blood.

The enhancement of Qi and blood brought about more changes than Su Chen had imagined.

For example,
For example, his fighting power used to be 5,000 when he threw a punch, but now it's estimated to be 10,000.

The numbers may not be accurate, but the power of the moves has indeed increased significantly.

This is not an improvement in technique, but an enhancement in the essential energy that drives the move.

Of course, the price for this outcome was that all five portions of Qi and Blood Powder were completely consumed by Su Chen.

"How about we ask Master Hong for five more doses of Qi and Blood Powder?"

After all, he only needed five more doses of Qi and Blood Powder to meet the requirements of the panel.

"If all else fails, just tell Master Hong that you've broken through. It's been almost a month since you last stabilized your Qi and blood, so it should be fine now."

He had never asked the martial arts school for anything before, and he had his own training resources, so he kept a low profile.

But now that I need Qi and Blood Dispersing Pills, I can finally show off my talent a little.

You don't need much; a basic level of Iron Wire Fist is enough.

Although he knew that the speed was still very fast, with his current strength, he was not afraid of anyone who was not a martial artist practicing internal energy cultivation.

If there really is someone like those in novels who is blind and wants to stifle a genius, just slap them to death!
