Chapter 226: Hunyuan Iron Armor
The ripples caused by the poisonous geese gradually dissipated. After all, Lu Zhigang was elusive and his whereabouts were hard to find, even harder to find than a flower thief.

In the beginning, many people looked for it, but as time went on, they gradually gave up and withdrew, and the matter came to nothing.

There were people in Gongliang City who were well-informed and were shocked when they learned about his deeds in the capital.

It turns out that there has long been a wronged ghost of a martial artist under the command of Poison Goose Lu Zhigang.

The martial artist Gao Laozhuang who was offered a bounty by Qianmian Hall, the person who took out the plaque and left his name to claim the reward was Lu Zhigang.

The poisonous goose was really vicious. It actually killed a genuine martial artist of a higher rank.

Even if he was a notorious and helpless martial artist, he was still a strong man with skin of steel and bones and meridians of jade.

Lu Zhigang used his energy and blood to kill enemies above his level, no matter if he was poisoning, plotting, or assassinating, all of them were real achievements.

In comparison, Bao Tiefeng was lucky as he only broke one hand.

As Lu Zhigang disappeared again, the sensation he caused gradually subsided.

The name of the Poison Goose Lu Zhigang has become a topic that people who practice martial arts cannot avoid, and it even helps to stop babies from crying at night.

Another hot topic figure, Zhou You, was like the eye of a storm, surprisingly relaxed and calm.

He used "recuperating" as an excuse and stayed at home most of the time, going only between home and the pharmacy, punctually.

After all, he fought four life-and-death duels during the day and killed three transformed ghosts at night. It would be unreasonable for him not to have some injuries after such frequent and fierce battles.

In fact, Xingren Hall is just a cover.

Zhou You would leave halfway every time and go to Tianjingfang to practice boxing and accumulate experience points.

At night, he wandered through the streets and alleys of the city, looking for traces of evil spirits.

The panel is also very powerful. Once a charming creature is discovered, a trial project will be immediately released, ranging from one star to three stars.

There are all kinds of ghosts, both imaginary and created, strong and weak, hiding in people's homes in human skins, feasting on living people.

As soon as Zhou You spots the target, he will rush in and solve the problem cleanly and neatly.

There is no need to worry about the noise, because the city gate guards will seal off the scene and eliminate all traces afterwards.

In just 4 or 5 days, Zhou Youshangjiao's city gate guards had already defeated 23 phantom charms and 5 transformed charms.

I didn’t notice it before, but now I’m shocked to find out there are so many magical creatures hidden in the city.

The number of monsters he killed alone was just a drop in the bucket of the huge number that were hidden.

What is a chaotic world? It is already one now.

When Zhou You handed in his battle record, it caused a sensation among the city gate guards.

Normally, when the city gate guards surrounded and killed the monsters, it was like hunters working in groups to hunt tigers. They needed numbers to succeed.

It is necessary to conduct multiple investigations beforehand and capture clues in order to accurately locate the target.

It's good that Zhou You is a fisherman who never comes back empty-handed. He always succeeds and always catches a large number of fish.

Even some city gate guards could not earn as much as he did in just a few days after working for their entire lives.

"This kid was born to do this."

A lieutenant urged Lieutenant Chang, "We can't let such a talent go. We must recruit him quickly."

Captain Chang spread his hands helplessly and said, "This man is arrogant and will not respond to force. Forcing him will only backfire. Don't you remember how he left Jianxiong Martial Arts School?"

Wang Jianxiong ignored Zhou You and concentrated resources on training Lu Jianqing, which led to the breakup of the Five Tigers and Zhou You's departure.

In the past, no one paid attention to Zhou's low-key and peaceful travels.

After the Five Tigers broke up, everyone realized that Zhou You had a strong character and would not compromise on certain things. Now the city gate guards used the probation period as an excuse to establish contact with him, and they lived in peace with each other.

Any attempt to break this tacit understanding will not only fail, but will backfire.

"That's it, that's it."

Captain Chang raised his hand and said, "Because of Zhou You, our hunting performance this quarter ranks second in this prefecture, only behind the city guards. This is an unprecedented good result."

"The rewards from above have been distributed, and everyone will receive a reward."

Someone wondered, "Where is Zhou You? He is not even one of the city gate guards."

Logically speaking, Zhou You was the greatest contributor and should be rewarded, but due to his status, many of the rewards were internal and inconvenient to bestow.

Captain Chang stroked his beard with confidence, "Don't reward him yet, I have already given it in advance, these are what he should do."

Sweet Well...

Zhou You opened the box given by Captain Chang, and inside was a set of military officer robes for the city gate guards, with a waist badge made of iron, wood and copper pressed on it. On the front was two rows of small characters "The leader of the city gate guards is in charge of thirty people", and on the back were four large characters "The Lord of the Guards for Generations".

Captain Chang is playing tricks. This robe and waist badge are only for official identities. Wearing it makes him an official leader of the city gate guards, and he can command 30 elite soldiers of the city gate guards.

"What a pity. The fabric is nice and the shape is good, but it's not very wearable."

Zhou You chuckled and shook his head, thinking that these were all the things in the box, so he lifted the lid and took a look at the bottom.

"Thousands of Troops Breaking Evil Fist: Mixed Element Iron Armor"

The city gate guards' internal secret boxing records contain the training and fighting methods of the Thousand Army Breaking Evil Fist from the basics to the later stages of qi and blood, and also come with a hard skill... Hunyuan Iron Armor.

The 'General Takes Off His Armor' passed down to him by Li Hao and the 'Thousand Scales Facing the Sun and Ten Thousand Helmets' passed down to him by Zhang Shiyu are both part of the hard skill of Hunyuan Iron Armor.

This is the secret that the city gate guards never pass on.

Zhou You felt that this thin booklet was extremely heavy. It was obviously a bait. After eating it, he would be more closely bound to the city gate guard.

However, the temptation of the hard skill of Hunyuan Iron Armor is too great.

Once this hard skill is mastered, the physical strength of the martial artist can be matched at the Qi and blood stage, and it can also enhance the lightness skill and boxing skills.

Why has there been no progress in Qinggong?
Because the physical strength is not up to standard, the speed has reached the ceiling, and any faster speed will cause the physical body to collapse.

The power of the attack is not strong enough, and it all comes down to the lack of physical strength.

Practicing this hard skill can make up for all his current shortcomings and take his strength to a higher level.

After much thought, he finally decided to take the bait.

"General takes off his armor and puts on his armor at level 5, transforming into the Primordial Iron Armor, processing the reduction!"

"I have mastered the Hunyuan Iron Armor, level Iv2."

During the transformation, Zhou You's whole body relaxed, as if he had taken off a cast iron vest weighing dozens of kilograms. As the heat flowed under his skin and spread throughout his body, it was like he was wearing a soft outer garment woven with gold and silver threads, which was close-fitting and light.

From the general taking off his armor to the Hunyuan Iron Armor, although the level is reduced, the transformation it brings is huge.

Without decreasing the defense, the body's flexibility and agility increased by several levels.

This means that performing hard exercises will not affect the free movement of the joints, and the agility and speed will be as normal.

Like the hard skills of some farmhands, punching iron sand and banging their heads against stone pillars, which directly cause necrosis of joints and meridians, and keratinization of flesh and blood. In the end, they become clumsy and rough big guys who can only take beatings but cannot fight back. How stupid!

The Hunyuan Iron Armor is indeed the most advanced skill for the city gate guards, and it increases strength in all aspects.

Zhou You felt that his overall strength had vaguely shown signs of further improvement.
