I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 17: It's still early, shall we practice a little longer?

Jiang He ordered a large plate of chicken and several cold dishes.

He timed it perfectly.

Just as it was dinnertime, the braised chicken was ready.

"Ding!"

"A balanced diet can increase your strength by 10kg."

After dinner, they strolled around the streets for a while. At Jiang He's request, the two went to the park and went for a 20-minute night run.

After finishing my run.

The two sat down on a bench in the corner of the park, and Yun Yanchen asked, "Jiang He, your condition has improved a lot. What are your plans for the future?"

Jiang He had nothing to hide about Yun Yanchen.

He said, "I have been poisoned by an evil poison, and my meridians and energy sea are completely destroyed. I have even lost the ability to awaken. I will not be able to practice martial arts in the future, so I can only pursue the path of body refinement."

Yun Yanchen's eyes lit up, and she said, "As long as you don't give up on yourself, I will unconditionally support you no matter what choice you make... Pure body tempering is very difficult, but it is not without hope. Just ask for any resources you need."

Jiang He shook his head and said, "There's no need for that right now, but I'll definitely ask if I need to."

But soon, Yun Yanchen became worried again.

"I've heard that pursuing a pure body-refining path is extremely arduous, requiring constant challenges to one's own limits. Only by breaking those limits time and time again can one reach greater heights..."

"Why don't you stop practicing martial arts and start your own business? I've saved up several million yuan of my own money over the years, so consider it as me investing in you."

Did not see it.

This young lady is quite wealthy!

She's beautiful, has a great figure, and is rich. Most importantly, she's a "water-type transcendent awakener." It's a pity she has a cheat code, otherwise she would have really hooked up with Yun Yanchen.

As for everyone saying that the path of body cultivation is arduous...

Jiang He didn't feel it was too hard.

As long as you pay attention to a reasonable diet, reasonable exercise, and reasonable medication, isn't that enough?

He laughed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, little rich lady. If I ever stop practicing martial arts, I'll definitely ask you to take care of me!"

Until 10 p.m., Jiang He grilled some barbecue at a small barbecue cart at the park entrance.

Yun Yanchen had just driven Jiang He back to Anning Mental Hospital.

Return to the ward.

I practiced basic martial arts for a while.

At dawn, Jiang He ate his "midnight snack" on time.

"Um……"

"These chicken wings, these kidneys!"

"It smells so good..."

Jiang He, his mouth greasy from eating, couldn't help but say, "Late-night snacks have to be like this to be satisfying. Fruit platters and stuff like that are just junk..."

"Anyway, I've already got the dean's weakness in me, so I doubt he'll refuse if I go out for a late-night snack every night."

pity.

No chilled beer.

Next time I go out for a late-night snack, I must remember to buy two cases and take them to the VIP ward to chill them.

Eat and drink enough.

Jiang He took his fourth dose of "psychiatric medication" and his eighth dose of "Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pills" before finally lying comfortably in his hospital bed.

"Ding!"

"Rational use of medication, strength +10kg."

"Ding!"

"Rational use of medication, strength +10kg."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Jiang He complained, "This system is so inhumane. If a reasonable diet, reasonable medication, and reasonable exercise can all increase strength... then is it unreasonable for me to just sleep all day?"

Sleeping doesn't increase strength?
Pooh!
Bad review!

Wake up from sleep.

Wash up.

Eat breakfast, take medicine, and go for a morning run.

Strength: 2030kg

Jiang He glanced at the system attribute panel, nodded in satisfaction, and planned to go directly to the fourth floor of the inpatient department.

I just stepped out of the ward...

Then I heard a familiar voice.

Jiang He turned his head and saw the young and handsome Dr. Feng Shaoyu leading several nurses on rounds, saying things like "increase the dosage".

"Dr. Feng..."

Jiang He greeted him with a broad smile.

Feng Shaoyu's expression changed slightly, and he wanted to slip away, but Jiang He blocked his way and chuckled, "Doctor Feng, may I have a word with you in private?"

Feng Shaoyu: "I'm not going!"

Jiang He: "Dr. Feng probably doesn't want his photos to be all over the hospital, does he?"

Feng Shaoyu gritted his teeth and turned to the nurses, saying, "You go to the next ward first. I have a few questions to ask Jiang He privately."

We arrived at ward 207.

Jiang He locked the door from the inside and punched Feng Shaoyu twice in the chest.

Feng Shaoyu winced in pain, but dared not cry out, afraid that the nurses and patients outside would hear him. He said in a tearful voice, "Brother Jiang, Uncle Jiang... I didn't do anything to you, why are you staring at me all day long?"

Jiang He: "Nothing, just testing my fists... Alright, you continue your rounds, I'm off."

In his heart, however, he secretly pondered.

"It seems my guess was right after all. Fighting ordinary people doesn't count as a [combat]."

We arrived at the fourth floor.

Jiang He saw Li Si and Wang Mazi, and asked, "Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, where did Third Brother go?"

Wang Mazi said, "Third Brother has some things to take care of and will be back in a few days... Sixth Brother, this place is too small, let's go to the rooftop to practice our swordsmanship."

The ward of the mental hospital has only four floors.

At the end of the corridor, there is a door leading to the rooftop.

However, this door is usually locked.

Wang Mazi used his hand as a knife and with a light stroke, the iron lock snapped in two.

Reaching the rooftop, he tossed the Annihilation Blade to Jiang He and said, "The sword techniques I've learned require true qi to unleash their power. You're on a pure body-refining path, so my sword techniques aren't suitable for you."

"You have already practiced basic martial arts swordsmanship, so you should know how to use a sword... No matter what kind of swordsmanship it is, its foundation is the same, which is nothing more than cutting, slicing, chopping, slicing, hacking, and stabbing."

"You can practice these things on your own. Use whichever move you feel comfortable with during combat."

"What I'm going to teach you today is my understanding of swordsmanship, the spirit of a swordsman..." "The sword is a weapon for fighting on the battlefield. As a swordsman, you should be fearless and go forward without hesitation. This is the spirit. Without this spirit, the sword is no longer a sword... So if you want to truly master the sword, you must experience life-and-death battles."

boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from Wang Mazi!

Under the pressure of this aura, Jiang He felt as if he could hardly stand, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him. In his eyes, Wang Mazi became even more majestic and invincible!

However, this feeling did not cause the river to recede.

On the contrary, he felt a faint sense of excitement.

The hands gripping the Annihilation Blade trembled slightly with excitement!

"kill!"

Jianghe let out a low roar.

Despite the immense pressure, he took a sudden step forward and swung his sword at Wang Mazi!
"it is good!"

aside.

Li Si's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration!
Wang Mazi was indeed not a grandmaster.

However, his sword intent was stronger than that of most grandmasters. Jiang He, a novice who had just started practicing swordsmanship, dared to attack Wang Mazi in this state... This determination was truly admirable.

"Ding!"

"You have survived a battle, strength +10kg."

after an hour.

Jiang He was drenched in sweat and collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

"I'm so tired..."

"That Wang Mazi is too ruthless. Under the pressure of his aura, I have to use all my strength every time I swing my knife, as if I'm carrying hundreds or thousands of pounds of weight!"

Jiang He felt sore all over and didn't want to move at all.

Li Si stepped forward and angrily said, "Get up! Is this your limit?"

Jiang He used a knife to prop himself up, struggling to his feet.

"Okay..."

Li Laosi took a step and, like a shaman, jumped around once on the rooftop.

However, Jiang He discovered that every step he took left a half-inch deep footprint.

"My training for you is quite simple. You just need to run eight laps around the rooftop in my footprints. Remember... don't step in the wrong place. If you step in the wrong place, you'll have to add an extra lap."

If it is normal.

Jiang He would definitely scoff at it.

That's it?

Isn't it enough to just have feet?

But now, he had been pushed to his limit by Wang Mazi, and his legs felt like they were filled with lead. With every step he took, he felt a tearing pain in his muscles.

We've finally almost finished the lap.

As a result, when taking the final step, my mind relaxed...

You stepped off course!
paralysis!

Jiang He mentally complained and started returning to the starting point to continue "lapping".

Wang Mazi and Li Si squatted to the side, smoking cigarettes, and said, "Lao Si, you're pushing this extra training too hard... I've already pushed this kid to his limit. Aren't you afraid of exhausting him if you keep doing this?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Li Si puffed out a cloud of smoke and said casually, "I'll prepare some ointment for him tonight, and he'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

There was a pause.

He changed the subject and sighed, "I think this kid, Lao Liu, is easy to get along with. We're about to leave... Let's teach him as much as we can. He's still young, so it's okay for him to suffer a little."

"As for you, maintaining your aura and sword intent to this level for an hour... you must be exhausted by now."

We practiced for another round.

The river stopped flowing.

Li Si glared at him and yelled, "Who told you to stop? Keep practicing!"

Jiang He, panting, said, "Fourth Brother, no rush... let me take some medicine first."

Jiang He took out a bottle of "Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pills" from his pocket and ate three pills.

"Ding!"

"Rational use of medication, strength +10kg."

As the system notification sounded in his mind, Jiang He felt his fatigue lessen and immediately started "walking laps" again.

soon.

Completed four laps.

The river has stopped flowing again.

Before Li Si could speak, Jiang He said, "Fourth Brother, don't rush... It's lunchtime, let's eat first, and then continue practicing."

Wang Mazi said, "Keep practicing, I'll have someone bring the food up."

"Row!"

Jiang He said, "By the way, Fifth Brother, remember to have the nurse bring my medicine over as well."

"Ding!"

"A balanced diet will increase your strength by 10 kg."

"Ding!"

"Rational use of medication, strength +10kg."

After lunch, I took my medicine.

The river has "traveled" around again.

[Exercise after lunch!]
"Ding!"

"Proper exercise can increase your strength by 10kg."

As his strength increased again and again, Jiang He felt the fatigue and soreness in his body getting lighter and lighter. He even started jogging, following in Li Si's footsteps, and ran faster and faster. He ran 18 laps instead of the original 9.

Stop.

Jiang He looked relaxed.

Considering there were still two battles left to complete today, I asked, "Fifth Brother, why are you sitting there?"

"It's still early."

"How about we practice some more?"

Li Si: "..."

Wang Mazi: "???"
