Martial Arts Across the Heavens: Becoming a Martial God Starting from the Big Boss in Tangshan

The ice factory is not too far from where people live.

As soon as Chen Wen followed Tang Long into the ice-making workshop, he immediately heard the roar of machinery and felt a blast of cold air hit him.

This contrasts sharply with the humid and hot outdoor air of Southeast Asia.

A huge ice-making machine occupies the center of the workshop, humming rhythmically, with water pipes meandering and condensers emitting white, cold air.

There were many workers in the factory, most of them wearing thick clothes, busily moving about in the thick white fog.

Pry the icy blocks out of the mold and drag them to the designated area.

"Brother Long is here!"

The workers were very enthusiastic when they saw Tang Long.

Tang Long nodded, then stood in front of a group of new workers and began his introduction:

"Brothers, the work here is tough! The ice is heavy and the temperature is freezing, but in Southeast Asia, ice is a rare commodity, a luxury only big hotels, trading companies, and wealthy families can afford!"

"Every bit of effort we put in is earned in real wages!"

"It's better than toiling away on plantations and in mines! If we all work together, we can earn money and live a good life!"

These words are simple yet persuasive.

Everyone left their homes and traveled across the ocean, almost dying in the process. Didn't they come to this wretched place just to make money?

For everyone, the greatest fortune is to be able to make money, and to make a lot of money.

The new workers, who had endured hardship, had hope rekindled in their eyes and were eager to get to work.

However, since everyone was new and didn't know any skills, the newcomers basically did the most basic and physically demanding jobs, such as moving ice blocks.

No one complained; instead, everyone was excited and ready to start work.

Chen Wen was preoccupied with the investigation and was preparing to move ice blocks with the others.

Tang Long, however, stopped him separately and pointed to the ice, instructing him:

"Awen, you can carry these for two yuan each time."

These words stunned not only the new workers, but also some of the veteran workers.

Keep in mind that this is an ice processing plant, and industrial ice blocks weigh at least hundreds of kilograms.

It would be exhausting for an average person to carry just one piece.

Chen Wen, who looked so thin and skinny, was actually asked to carry two pieces?

If people didn't know that Tang Long was a good person, they would all think that he was deliberately bullying Chen Wen.

One of the workers muttered quietly, "Brother Long, isn't this... a bit too much..."

Ah Ying patted his shoulder and explained with a smile:

"Don't you understand? Ah Wen is amazing. Don't let his refined appearance fool you, he's incredibly strong! And Brother Long personally trained him in martial arts!"

"And it's an extra-intensive, special training method... Hey, even just trying a couple of moves makes our bones feel like they're going to fall apart. This amount of weight is torture for us, but for Ah-Wen, it's probably not even a warm-up!"

The workers finally understood that this was a training method specially arranged by Brother Long.

One by one, they showed expressions of sudden realization.

They had all trained with Tang Long and knew how strict he was during training. Chen Wen was actually putting on even more rigorous training.

This guy is really pitiful.

For a moment, the way everyone looked at Chen Wen was filled with more sympathy and more admiration.

After all, this seemingly frail young man must be quite extraordinary to be able to withstand Tang Long's intensive training.

"Go, Awen!"

"Thanks for your hard work, Awen!"

Several clever old workers had already started shouting with smiles.

After all, the amount of ice produced each day is limited. If Chen Wen does more work, they can carry less ice, so everyone is naturally happy.

The atmosphere immediately became lively.

How could Chen Wen not understand these guys' little scheme?

But he just smiled and didn't pay any attention.

Because of the system and Tang Long, he was given the opportunity to become stronger.

You can become stronger as long as you work hard.

You didn't work hard before because you couldn't see any hope.

Now we have clear feedback, and the improvement is visible to the naked eye.

He only regrets that he doesn't have enough time and that he doesn't work hard enough, so how could he possibly complain?

Chen Wen took the iron clamp from Tang Long, took a deep breath, and was about to lift one of the ice blocks when he immediately realized the problem.

Ice is not a stone; it is icy cold.

Although the metal clamps provided some protection from the cold, the ice itself was very slippery, and if you didn't use enough force, the ice would slide down and shatter.

If you use too much force, you might crush the ice.

Chen Wencai had barely started when he had already broken several pieces of ice.

"Haha, Wen, don't rush, take your time. Moving ice blocks also requires skill."

Laughter occasionally broke out in the workshop. No one meant any harm; they just couldn't help laughing at his flustered state.

Several veteran workers walked directly up to Chen Wen, explaining the techniques for moving ice blocks in detail while demonstrating them themselves.

Chen Wen finally succeeded.

He carefully felt the way he was applying force, lost in thought, and then quickly looked at Tang Long.

"Brother Long, this isn't just about training my strength, it's also about training my power generation techniques, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Long couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Oh? You figured it out so quickly. You truly are a martial arts prodigy."

"That's right. If it were an ordinary person practicing martial arts, they would gradually learn the techniques of generating power after mastering the basics. But you are different. Since you are a genius, I will naturally increase the difficulty for you."

"Your strength is actually quite great, but you don't know how to use it."

"For example, when you were fighting that guard before, you didn't need to use that much strength at all. It was too wasteful and too dangerous."

"Therefore you must learn to control your power. In battle, you must always give it your all, but you must also always have some reserves."

Chen Wen seemed to be deep in thought.

He understood what Brother Long meant: if he were to find himself in a special situation, such as being surrounded and attacked by a large group of people.

Of course, you can unleash a powerful punch to knock down your enemy.

But what if a new enemy comes?

After you run out of power, are you just going to obediently wait to die?

Moreover, you can't be careless or underestimate your opponent without using your strength. If you can't knock down your enemy with one punch, you'll need to follow up with another, which will consume more energy and be more dangerous.

Therefore, the key lies in control!

That punch is powerful enough to defeat the enemy; that's enough.

Always give it your all, but always leave some room for maneuver.

"I understand, Brother Long!"

Chen Wen nodded vigorously and immediately began to work seriously.

At first, he made a lot of mistakes and created a lot of ice shards, but gradually he got the hang of it.

Although his personal data hadn't changed much, he could feel that he had made great progress in the use of his power.

The initial amusement on everyone's faces gradually gave way to surprise.

They were all newcomers once, so they naturally knew how difficult it was to move ice blocks.

For example, Ah Kun and his group came with Chen Wen, and they worked in pairs, which resulted in a lot of broken ice.

Chen Wen carried two pieces by himself, using both hands simultaneously, and he was still so steady. It was truly amazing.

A genius is a genius.

No wonder Tang Long was so demanding of Chen Wen.

Of course, everyone ultimately benefited. The faster and easier Chen Wen moved things, the less work everyone had to do, and everyone became incredibly enthusiastic towards Chen Wen.
