Chapter 129 Signs of Breakthrough
The Eighth Martial Arts Training Ground...

"Zhou You, there are many experts guarding the city gates. Outsiders only know that they have mastered the Thousand Army Breaking Fist and the Scale Beard Pill. In fact, there are many more secrets that only a few core members know."

Li Hao swallowed like a pill, his throat made a gurgling sound, his skin all over his body became taut and bulged, and his defense suddenly increased.

He has now mastered the difficult skill of a general taking off his armor and putting on his heavy armor.

During the sparring, Zhou You tested the limit of his defense and was able to withstand a full-strength attack from a skilled warrior.

Zhou You’s current level of Subduing Tiger Fist is full of mature strength, which is already quite powerful.

If he used his qi and blood, he could break Li Hao's hard skills with one punch.

The tiger claw whirlwind hit Li Hao with a bang, and his body shook.

"I also saw it at that time. Zhang Shiyu joined the city gate guards."

Zhou You thought that this guy had taken away his master's savings and actually found a way to join the city gate guards.

Not simple!

Zheng Qing said that he also took one of the eight captains as his godfather, which shows that he is really dedicated.

"Zhou You, he is now in the city gate guard, and he is not in the same circle as us, so don't worry about him."

Li Hao persuaded.

Although the city gate guards are in power, they do not interfere too much in worldly affairs. Even if there are any issues, they are handled through local authorities.

Captain Chang's daughter died tragically, but he could not use his troops to avenge the flower thief.

Zhou You nodded and punched Li Hao in the chest with his backhand.

The punch was thrown unintentionally, but the effect was unexpectedly beyond expectations.

puff!

A sharp whistle came out of Li Hao's mouth.

Turbulent air came out of his seven orifices, and his body suddenly shrank a lot.

The general's skill of taking off his armor and putting on his armor was ruined!

Li Hao took a few breaths and looked at Zhou You's fist in surprise, "This punch of yours is much more powerful than before."

There's nothing special about it!

Zhou You recalled the force he had just exerted and did not use the hidden energy and blood of the Goose Fist. He just used the ordinary Subduing Tiger Fist.

"Are you going to break through?"

Li Hao thought of this possibility, "Good news, Zhou You, if you can achieve Qi and blood, you can enter the inner courtyard and get the true teachings."

The true teaching of Jianxiong Martial Arts School is called "Jade Tiger Kung Fu", which can be practiced all the way to become a martial artist.

The Subduing Tiger Fist is just the foundational fist of the Jade Tiger Skill.

Zhou You felt relieved. The bottleneck had finally been broken and he had hope of breaking through to become an inner court disciple.

Ultimately, it was because he took two Scale-Beard Pills.

The city gate guard's secret medicine, the Scale Beard Pill, although used in conjunction with the Thousand Troops Breaking Evil Fist, only has about 70% to 80% effect on him.

The effect is immediate after taking it, and the Qi and blood barrier is within reach, no longer a distant dream!
Well, there is still some external force left to give it the finishing touch!
In the afternoon, Tianjingfang met Zhuang Tie to practice boxing.

After just a few moves, Zhuang Tie came to this conclusion.

"The power of your punches rises and falls like the tide. This is a sign of an impending breakthrough."

"During this period, you must abstain from alcohol and sex, keep a calm mind, and try not to fight with others, so as not to get injured and fall to a lower realm, and miss this great opportunity in vain."

"Well, your progress is considered to be above average."

Zhuang Tie’s evaluation is very to the point and very pertinent.

Zhou You has always been down-to-earth when practicing the Subduing Tiger Fist and rarely uses experience points to force his way up.

He witnessed Zhou You's growth as a sparring partner. Although he was employed, they established a relationship of both teacher and friend.

Now that Zhou You is about to break through his Qi and blood, he still feels a bit expectant and relieved in his heart.

"Zhou You, a few days ago, beasts and ghosts appeared in the downtown area. Although the government tried its best to suppress the news, we who came from Sucheng have experienced similar things and knew that chaos was coming."

Zhuang Tie sighed and said, "It's a good thing that you have a breakthrough in your Qi and blood at this time. At least you will have more power to protect yourself." "Wang Lao Hu is a very realistic person. If you are useful to him, he will support you."

"When you leave Gongliang City in the future, you must follow the martial arts school and never be alone."

These few words express true feelings and are genuinely meant for your travels.

Zhou You couldn't keep the secret either, so he said, "Master Zhuang, I met Zhang Shiyu, and he joined the city gate guards."

"Zhang Shiyu? City gate guard?"

Zhuang Tie thought of this cold and selfish junior brother, clenched his fists, and then relaxed them after a long time.

"If it was half a year ago, I would have definitely gone to his house to question him, but forget it now."

"Master won't be able to hold on for many more days. I want to see him off to the end. Wuxia has no right to care!"

"Zhang Shiyu is determined to rise to prominence, and his success or failure depends on his fate. I, Dazhuangquan, have severed all ties with him."

The one-armed man bowed to Zhou You and said, "Thank you for helping me untie the knot in my heart."

"I will lend you a helping hand and blast open the barrier of the Qi and Blood Gate."

In the evening, Zhou You went home to reunite with his parents.

After the flower thief died, the family moved back to their original rented house. Before leaving, they cleaned Wu Yanyi's old house thoroughly, leaving no traces or damage.

The lease is about to expire, and they have no plans to renew it.

This street has become increasingly unsettled, with petty thefts increasing in number, and people often break into homes in the middle of the night to steal food.

The government is unable to handle it, and the local gangs don't care.

Constable Liu has been transferred to patrol the core areas of the city and has also taken Widow Li and her son away.

The whole street looked like an abandoned farmland, gradually becoming overgrown with weeds.

"You'er, last night a family heard some noises coming from the stove in the middle of the night and discovered that someone was stealing something. During the fight, the thief hacked them with a knife, and the blood flowed across half of the house. The person died before they could be taken to the clinic."

"It's so scary. They killed someone just for a bite of food!"

Mother filled Zhou You's bowl with rice, which was piled high and emitting steam.

Zhou You glanced at the two elders’ bowls of rice and breathed a sigh of relief that everyone could eat their fill.

It would be a huge joke if Lu Zhigang, who has one million kilograms of grain, let his family starve.

Now that the grain market is rising, the value of that grain is increasing every day, making many people covet it.

However, no one dared to touch this batch of grain when they thought that the poisonous goose Lu Zhigang was still hiding in the dark.

What is Lu Zhigang's nickname? Poison Goose!

Who would dare to eat this amount of food without his consent? Aren't they afraid of being poisoned?

Therefore, one million kilograms of grain are safely stored in the granary.

Although Zhou You could not touch this batch of grain for the time being, no one else dared to touch it either.

"Dad, have you found a house yet?"

Zhou Laocan put away his pipe and nodded, "I've looked at a few, some are good and some are bad, the key is still the price!"

“I don’t worry about the price. The key is to live comfortably and safely.”

Father Zhou shook his head. "We still have to save money. The business has not been doing well recently, so our income will be reduced."

"If there's not enough money, I'll find a way."

Zhou You patted his chest. He was a super rich man with a net worth of 10 taels, so low-key!
"Come on, you're just going to ask the young master to borrow it, don't make it difficult for him."

Old Man Zhou waved his hand and explained the company's predicament.

It turned out that there was a big problem with the trade route outside the city, and the Shen's Trading Company, like other caravans, suffered heavy losses.

As the vice president of the local business, Mr. Shen has been very busy recently and called Shen Sijing home to help.

"Is the situation so bad?"

Zhou You put down his chopsticks and fell into deep thought.
