In the world of martial arts, grind your skill level to become a saint.

Although he had doubts, Su Hao didn't ask any further questions.

After Sun Ping finished demonstrating the entire set of stance training, Liu Chongshan then taught Su Hao about the transformation of Qi and blood, as well as the general knowledge of the early stages of martial arts cultivation.

After explaining all the basics, Liu Chongshan assigned Sun Ping to guide Su Hao's cultivation.

He then returned to the wicker chair, lay down, and closed his eyes to rest.

The apprenticeship process is basically over once you've started learning from a master.

Sun Ping naturally dared not refuse Master Liu's arrangement, so he could only bring Su Hao to the training ground and begin to teach him stance training step by step.

"Senior Brother Sun, I'd like to ask how long it typically takes for a beginner to undergo a transformation of their Qi and blood, reaching the Stone Skin level?"

Under the scorching sun, after Su Hao followed the demonstration of the stance training, he found that the panel still hadn't changed. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.

Previously, Master Liu had given him a general explanation of the basic divisions of the martial arts training system.

Martial arts training mainly focuses on tempering and strengthening one's own physical constitution, bones, qi, and blood. The various stages of tempering and strengthening are divided into the Stone Skin Realm, Iron Skin Realm, Copper Skin Realm, and Bone Forging Realm, which are called the four realms of qi and blood.

The assessment standard for Yueshan Martial Arts School is that students must reach the Shipi level within three months.

Only those who truly reach the "stone skin" level can be considered as entry-level disciples of the Yueshan Boxing School.

Sun Ping, standing before us, is a martial artist at the Stone Skin level.

"I don't know about others, but I only managed to break through at the end of the third month..."

Sun Ping was very honest and simple, and he didn't talk much.

But he answered all of Su Hao's questions.

"Should we eat something else to replenish the accumulated qi and blood?"

Su Hao continued to learn stance training from Sun Ping, while asking questions.

This is also his biggest concern. The saying goes, "The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts." He doesn't have much money right now, and he doesn't know what he needs to learn martial arts.

But according to my senior brother Zhou Zhengtang, it seems that the cost was quite high.

"My master told me to eat more meat and practice more kung fu, so I ate a lot of meat. My dad even slaughtered several of the pigs in our family."

Sun Ping gave a simple, honest smile, scratching his head somewhat embarrassed.

Su Hao was speechless upon hearing this.

But when Sun Ping mentioned that his family had slaughtered several pigs for him to eat, it seemed that his family was not poor.

He's at least much better than that blacksmith.

After all, he had transmigrated to this world and was saving money to learn martial arts, so he might not be able to eat meat even once every ten days or half a month.

Others, however, can slaughter an entire pig at once to eat, just to replenish their qi and blood, which shows how big the difference in their family background is.

"Senior Brother Sun, besides blood cultivation, are there any other martial arts methods for training, such as internal energy cultivation or true qi cultivation?"

Su Hao then asked.

"What internal energy? I don't know... I've only practiced Yue Shan Fist, I've never heard of any others, and my master never mentioned them to us."

Sun Ping shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

"Junior Brother Su, Master Liu is looking over here!"

Sun Ping glanced in the direction of the willow tree's shade and quickly reminded Su Hao.

Su Hao looked over and, sure enough, found that Liu Chongshan had been staring at him with a stern expression.

He didn't say anything more and quickly continued practicing stance training with Sun Ping.

Time always flies when you're practicing.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

The setting sun painted half the sky red, casting its last remaining heat upon the earth, and the entire training ground was bathed in a dim red hue.

boom!

As Su Hao finally finished practicing the last move of the Sixteen Stances, he sat down heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He opened the panel.

Name: Su Hao

[Qualifications]: 1

[Martial Arts]: Yueshan Fist Lv1 (5/500)

[Skill]: Forging Lv3 (1/2000)

"After practicing all afternoon, my proficiency in Yue Shan Fist increased by five points. At this rate, it would take at least a month to transform my Qi and blood..."

Su Hao was somewhat helpless about this.

He clearly underestimated the difficulty of mastering this skill.

Maintaining a correct posture without moving is an extremely demanding task in terms of endurance and physical strength.

Anyway, Su Hao had been training all afternoon, and his muscles were already sore all over, so he didn't have any energy left to continue.

Meanwhile, Sun Ping, who was originally teaching Su Hao stance training, was also sparring and exchanging boxing techniques with a similarly muscular, bearded young man in an open space not far away.

Having seen Su Hao smoothly demonstrate the 16-form stance training, he went to find someone to spar with, leaving Su Hao to practice on his own.

Practicing martial arts requires not only a strong body, but also exquisite techniques. The two complement each other to unleash the true power of martial arts.

Therefore, Yue Shan Boxing School does not prohibit students from sparring with each other, and even encourages students to participate in more actual combat to hone their skills and experience.

Of course, this is on the premise that no one is injured, maimed, or killed; otherwise, they will be subject to extremely severe punishment.

He glanced around at the group of Yue Shan martial arts school disciples who were also sitting and resting on the ground.

Just as Su Hao was about to get up to observe the boxing demonstration, a shout came from the other side of the training ground.

"The herbal medicine is here! Those who haven't taken theirs yet, come and get it quickly!"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone in the courtyard got up and ran towards one of the round-faced disciples who was pushing a small wooden cart.

"The herbal medicine is here!"

Seeing this, Su Hao couldn't help but become curious and followed the crowd to join them.

According to Sun Ping, each martial arts school has its own medicinal soup to match the martial arts they practice. The effects of these secret medicines vary, and the medicinal soup used by Yue Shan Martial Arts School is known as the Blood Strengthening Soup.

Although Su Hao had never drunk this stuff before, seeing so many people crowding up, he could roughly guess that this blood-strengthening soup must be quite effective.

Otherwise, so many people in the martial arts school wouldn't be fighting over it!

Su Hao joined the queue and soon received his share of the blood-strengthening soup.

One serving of blood-strengthening soup is given out daily, promptly at the Yue Shan Boxing Gym just before closing time in the afternoon; this is the rule of the gym.

"I wonder how effective it will be?"

Su Hao carried a bamboo tube filled with a blood-strengthening soup. The dark red soup emitted a strong medicinal smell, as well as a bloody odor.

It looks like something made by boiling some kind of herb mixed with animal blood.

Seeing that everyone else had drunk their medicinal soup, Su Hao also picked up the bamboo tube and gulped it down in one go.

The strong medicinal taste, tinged with bitterness, spread and lingered in Su Hao's mouth, stimulating his taste buds.

However, the bitterness quickly fades, replaced by a lingering sweetness.

Feeling the medicinal soup flow down my esophagus into my stomach, a warm sensation began to spread from my lower abdomen to my limbs and bones, making me feel warm and comfortable, just like soaking in warm water.

At this moment, Su Hao felt that his limbs, which were originally sore and tired, were relieved and relaxed.

"This medicinal soup is not bad!"

Su Hao thought to himself.

Just one bowl of water was enough to wipe away hours of fatigue; the effect was truly amazing.

Most importantly, it not only replenishes physical strength and endurance, but also seems to speed up blood flow under the influence of the herbal decoction!
