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

Chapter 93 A Deadly Secret Hidden at the Victory Banquet (Please Subscribe)
"The force has actually penetrated into my internal organs!"

The attempt just now made Su Chen lose his composure, but he couldn't suppress his joy.

As expected, it was almost exactly as I had guessed; the power of the fifth layer of Iron Shirt could indeed temper the internal organs.

Although it was only a trace, it was a big step for Su Chen towards the next realm. As long as it could penetrate into the internal organs, Su Chen would be able to find a way to improve.

But when he saw the changes on the panel, the smile on his face gradually froze. The panel now looked much cleaner because it incorporated many different techniques.

The above shows:

[Martial Arts: Iron Shirt - Crippled (5th Layer 1%), Raging Wave Blade Technique (Maximum), Bone Shrinking Skill (Maximum)]

[Easy Mode: Iron Shirt - Incomplete 0 times (None), Raging Waves Blade Technique 0 times (any complete blade technique/school), Bone Shrinking Skill 0 times (None)]

"Iron Shirt skill can't be improved anymore?"

Staring at the content displayed on the panel, Su Chen was stunned for a long time, muttering to himself.

"No, it only shows level 5 on the level chart, and there's progress, but I can't unlock the easy mode. Could it be that I need a new cultivation technique to unlock it?"

After observing for a while, Su Chen quickly discovered the problem: there was progress but no easy mode, which was completely different from the Bone Shrinking Technique.

Bone-shrinking kung fu demonstrates 'limits' and 'nothingness', while Iron Shirt kung fu does not.

"Looks like I need to find a new cultivation method to try!"

Su Chen thought to himself that he had money and medicine, but he was lacking in cultivation techniques. However, he had no choice, as cultivation techniques were not easy to find.

"Besides the new martial arts technique, we also need to find a sword technique."

A moment later, Su Chen put on his clothes, tidied up the room, and then put the money and some medicinal herbs into his bag.

I've been in Yaozhen for a while now, it's time to go back.

……

Baishicheng, the county government office.

"This crackdown on the medicine gang has yielded a great harvest, including 100,000 taels of silver and a large quantity of medicinal herbs."

Tao Wenxuan looked at the account book summarized by Tao Dingfang, his eyebrows showing a hint of joy, and spoke as he read.

If you add in all sorts of medicinal herbs and treasures, the value of these things exceeds two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Thinking of this, he put down the ledger, his expression inscrutable, and sighed softly. Tao Dingfang, upon hearing this, asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Uncle?"

"Although we seized a lot of money and supplies, we allowed too much of it to be given away," Tao Wenxuan said meaningfully.

"Haha, so that's what you're concerned about, Uncle. Don't worry, these things will be returned to their rightful owners within three days at most. But I would like to ask you something..."

"what?"

"How are your preparations going?" Tao Dingfang asked with a smile.

Tao Wenxuan was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Haha, your uncle has already made all the preparations and is just waiting for you to take action."

"In that case, let's invite them tomorrow night and turn their victory celebration into a death feast!"

"it is good!"

……

The Hong Family Martial Arts School has temporarily returned to a state of tranquility.

Four days passed without any news from Su Chen, which made Hong Ming somewhat worried. Although he knew that Su Chen was already a martial artist who had mastered internal energy, there were still remnants of the Rebirth Cult fleeing outside White Stone City. If Su Chen were to encounter them, he feared that he would be outnumbered.

"Master, there's news." Li Mo hurriedly walked in.

"How is Su Chen?" Hong Ming put down his palm-leaf fan and quickly stood up to ask.

"No, it's not my junior brother's, it's from the government." Li Mo scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Master, with my junior brother's abilities, what are you worried about? Even if he encounters a powerful figure, with my junior brother's personality, if he can't beat them, he can always run away."

"Hmm, any news from the government?" Hong Ming nodded and asked in return.

"This is an invitation from the government." Li Mo handed an invitation to Hong Ming.

Hong Ming opened the invitation and saw that it wasn't bad news. It was an invitation from the government to a victory celebration banquet, inviting those who had contributed to the cause, including Hong Ming. "Master, we have one too," Li Mo said, showing her his invitation.

Hong Ming nodded and glanced at the time: "Tomorrow night."

……

The city gate.

Although the flow of people was not large, order was barely restored, and at least there was no longer any worry about the Lianyunzhai Rebirth Sect attacking the city.

The city guards' inspections became more lenient; aside from interrogating some strange individuals, ordinary people were generally allowed to pass.

Just then, a man wearing a straw hat walked towards them from the city gate, immediately attracting the attention of the city guards.

"Stop, who is it?"

"The one who wrote the sword is Yang Guo!"

"Yang Zhuangshi?"

The city guards had heard of Yang Guo's reputation, but weren't there rumors that Yang Guo was killed by the Rebirth Sect?

Thinking of this, he carefully examined the newcomer. The other person's attire was very similar to that of Yang Guo, whom they had met before, and he also had lost an arm.

"Didn't they say you were killed by the Rebirth Cult?" a city guard asked in confusion.

"These are rumors they spread," the newcomer's hoarse voice rang out.

"I see, apologies." The city guards exchanged glances and then let them pass.

After Yang Guo left, one of the city guards said, "You follow him. I'll go tell Lord Tao that Yang Guo has appeared."

"it is good!"

Easily shaking off the city guards behind him, Sun Yun changed his clothes in a secluded corner, reverting to his original attire.

However, his appearance still did not resemble his own, since his wanted poster was still hanging in White Stone City, and it was not advisable to reveal his identity.

He walked along and soon entered an abandoned old house.

"Protector Sun, please come in." A man greeted him and ushered him inside.

Upon entering the courtyard and room, one finds someone already waiting inside.

"You shouldn't be here at this time," the man said calmly.

"Why can't we show up? Tao Dingfang killed so many of us, how can we let him go so easily?" Sun Yun sneered. "Or have you forgotten who you are?"

“If I had forgotten who I am, I wouldn’t have risked coming to see you.”

Sun Yun sat down, and the other party said again, "Tomorrow night, Tao Dingfang will invite a group of martial artists to a banquet, which will be the best time for you to make your move."

"So, you're saying you don't want to fight alongside me?" Sun Yun asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's not that I don't want to, but it's unnecessary. Tao Dingfang is not worth exposing myself for. It might be more likely if it were Hong Yue." The man shook his head.

"Okay, but I need your help."

"no problem."

After receiving the reply, Sun Yun prepared to leave. Just as he stood up, the man stopped him and asked, "Do you know where Zhu Bao is?"

Sun Yun turned and gave the man a deep look, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. What, are you interested in him?"

“It’s not me, but the Dharma King who is interested. Don’t forget, now there are only a few of them left in Lianyun Village. The wealth of Lianyun Village and half of Lin Family Fortress is all tied to him.”

Upon hearing this, Sun Yun remained silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know where he is, but you might as well send someone to Lianyun Village to investigate. Maybe you can find some clues."

The man didn't speak, and seeing this, Sun Yun turned and left.

Soon after, the banquet began.
