Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Chapter 103: The Black Sand Ceremony! Blood Refining Small Success!_2

[Name]: Gu Sheng

[Age]: 16

[Realm]: Blood Refining Realm (entry-level)

[Martial Arts]: Chopping Wood (First-level Tearing), Archery (First-level Penetration), Iron Stone Fist (Perfect 90%), Shapeshifting (Perfect 71%), Snake Breath Skill (Great Success 31%)

...

Two Perfect martial arts skills and one Great Success martial arts skill had made Gu Sheng’s martial arts foundation far deeper than before.

As the saying goes, mastering one technique leads to mastery of all techniques. Human comprehension is not fixed, and Gu Sheng has the support of his panel.

Every time he perfected a martial art, it was also a process of growth in his martial arts insight.

"Let’s see how long it takes to master Flying Thunder Leg!"

With high morale, Gu Sheng flipped open the martial arts manual.

"Flying Thunder Leg emphasizes the movement of the leg like a thunder strike—swift and fierce. To make quicker progress, matching it with the Plum Blossom Poles is needed. It is divided into static and dynamic techniques..."

With his prior martial arts accumulation, Gu Sheng comprehended the skill rapidly.

...

Just as Gu Sheng was refining the Blood Strengthening Pill.

Zhao Honglie led several senior figures of the Black Sand Gang through the county office’s main gate. From a distance, he saw Liu Yuanhu’s figure appear and heartily laughed:

"Boss Zhao, what a rare guest, truly! Just this morning, I said there was a bird hovering over my courtyard, disturbing my dreams. Turns out it was a welcoming sign for distinguished guests! Fortunately, I didn’t slap that silly bird dead."

Liu Yuanhu chuckled as he looked at Zhao Honglie and his entourage, completely devoid of his prior ruthless overbearing demeanor seen in the barren mountains. Instead, he now resembled a sociable and gentle wealthy merchant.

The other Black Sand Gang high-level members all frowned.

But Zhao Honglie laughed heartily:

"Master Liu, you jest! How could I possibly be such a rare guest? You truly flatter me beyond measure!"

"After Master Liu’s promotion, I should have come often to pay my respects. Alas, the cumbersome affairs of the gang kept me tied down. I pray Master Liu does not take offense. I heard this morning that Master Liu eradicated a stronghold of villains. I came specially to congratulate you!"

His otherwise plain eyes squinted, seemingly smiling, but faintly revealing a sharp glint.

"Come forward, present the gift our Black Sand Gang prepared for Master Liu!"

Straightaway, a gang member stepped up carrying a brocade box.

Liu Yuanhu’s smile remained fixed as he glanced at Zhao Honglie and quipped:

"Boss Zhao, your information really travels fast. I had just stepped into the county office, and here you are already at my door! Truly impressive—if I need intel in the future within Canghe County, I’ll be sure to consult Boss Zhao!"

Though his tone sounded casual, the latent coldness in his words was unmistakable.
