Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: The Green Turtle

Inside the courtyard.

Gu Sheng was practicing his punches. Yesterday, he had gone into the mountains and hunted a muntjac, making for a fruitful outing. Today, he was training at home.

Hu hu hu!!

The sound of punching wind roared, occasionally producing sharp bursts in the courtyard.

Gu Sheng’s eyes were sharp, focused. His upper torso was bare, revealing extraordinarily well-built muscles. Beads of sweat would occasionally drip, tracing perfect arcs before splashing into the air.

To date.

Gu Sheng’s physique no longer showed the slightest hint of frailty. His muscles weren’t exaggerated in size, but with each punch and twist, they rippled like a dragon, exuding explosive power.

Thanks to the profound mastery of Iron Stone Fist.

Gu Sheng’s physique was far more refined than the average Martial Artist.

After a short while.

Gu Sheng stopped his punching practice. White mist billowed around his body, his skin tinged with a dark reddish hue, nearing the final stages of transformation. Continuous daily training and improvement brought a satisfying sense of progress.

From outside the courtyard came the voice of a young boy.

"Uncle Sheng, come out quickly! My dad says you should come to our house for a meal! Uncle Ze and the others are already there!"

It was Xiao Wan.

Gu Sheng’s lips curved into a faint smile.

The family of Gu Erniu appreciated Gu Sheng for taking care of them, so they would occasionally invite him to their house for meals. Women’s cooking was always better than what men could manage, and Gu Sheng was happy to oblige.

Social courtesy.

If there were only giving without reciprocating, over time it would become a burden for both parties.

"Coming, wait a bit."

Gu Sheng replied aloud.

He then grabbed a bucket of well water and poured it over his head. It was already late autumn, and the well water was ice-cold. Even a strong man would hesitate to drench himself in cold water right after vigorous exercise for fear of catching a chill.

But now, with Gu Sheng’s robust physique, the cold water hitting his skin felt invigorating.

A Martial Artist’s body was beginning to show traits beyond ordinary human limits.

His Power surged, mist gradually rising as Gu Sheng casually wiped his body and hair before pulling on a black single-layer garment and heading toward the courtyard’s entrance.

"Xiao Wan, kept you waiting? Let’s go."

Gu Sheng looked at the young boy in front of him, smiling.

In the past year, Xiao Wan had grown taller and more mature. With good nutrition since childhood, he was healthy, active, and nimble.

"Uncle Sheng, your muscles are so strong! I bet even if you gave my dad a handicap and fought him with one arm, he wouldn’t be able to beat you!"

He chuckled mischievously while poking at Gu Sheng’s muscular arm with a look full of admiration.

Every time Gu Sheng visited the black market, he would bring Xiao Wan small gifts. Coupled with hearing people around often talking about Gu Sheng with admiration, it was natural for the young boy to hold Gu Sheng in high regard.

Gu Sheng laughed heartily, rubbing the boy’s head.

"Don’t talk down about your dad like that. Be careful he doesn’t punish you with a stick."

Kids say the wildest things.

Though, truth be told, given Gu Erniu’s physique, one punch from Gu Sheng would likely knock him out.

Xiao Wan giggled as he ran off, quickly arriving at Gu Erniu’s house.

Today was actually to celebrate Gu Erniu’s complete recovery. Last year, he had sustained a leg injury, but now it had finally healed fully without any lingering damage, allowing him to return to peak condition.

Several close hunters had also come over, and four or five men had set up a large pot in the courtyard, tending to the burning firewood beneath.

When they saw Gu Sheng approaching.

Those who were chatting excitedly all stood up to look at him, and Li Lian said with a laugh, "Ah Sheng, you finally made it! Your brother Erniu was just saying you’d be on your way. I know your martial arts-obsessed nature—if Xiao Wan hadn’t called you, you might’ve taken forever to show."

The crowd all echoed in agreement:

"That’s right, Ah Sheng, you’re way too diligent. You should also know that training requires a balance of work and rest."
