Outside the banquet hall, a girl in a floral skirt walked in. Although she was not as good looking as Mu Xueqing, she was still somewhat bright and lively.
Cousin? When did I have this cousin?
Zhou Xing was stunned.
"Ying'er, why are you here?"
The head of the family stood up quickly with a look of care on his face.
The other clan elders stood up one after another and greeted the girl in the floral skirt, appearing very polite.
The degree of attention he attached to it was far greater than that of Zhou Xing.
"Is this?"
Zhou Xing felt that this girl seemed a bit familiar, including her name.
Father Zhou Tiande explained: "This is your uncle's adopted daughter. We met when we were children. Do you have any impression?"
Zhou Xing recalled carefully that only Dianmohu's daughter impression.
In memory.
The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, Zhou Xing's uncle, has only one child, has no martial arts qualifications, and only focuses on doing business.
At a certain time, probably when Zhou Xing was three or four years old, the head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, took in a "adopted daughter", probably this Ying'er.
But a few years later, the adopted daughter suddenly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
At that time, Zhou Xing was just a child. He had many peers in his family, so he didn’t pay much attention to him.
Now, what's going on?
The adopted daughter who disappeared for a long time has now reappeared, and it seems that she is also unanimously sought after by the senior officials of the family.
"I'm Ying'er, Zhou Ying'er."
The girl in the floral skirt is a familiar person, and she hummed: "I've heard about you, this 'incompetent' person." Cousin, I didn’t expect that I would break through the meridians stage now, it’s really unexpected..."
Um... Incompetent cousin?
Zhou Xing looked stunned. This Zhou Yinger was really rude.
"Xing'er, don't mind. Ying'er has a carefree personality and a sharp mouth..."
The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, said to Zhou Xing with a smile.
He was worried that Zhou Ying'er's words would hurt Zhou Xing's self-esteem; but his words still showed his doting and support for Zhou Ying'er.
"Mom, what's going on with Zhou Ying'er?"
Zhou Xing asked in a low voice.
"You talk about Yinger, she has amazing talents since she was a child. When she was about seven or eight years old, she entered the forging period and was sent to the 'Shuiyue Sect' in the eastern part of Chu State. Now, she has just At the age of fourteen, he has been promoted to the late stage of Tongmai. It is said that he has a 'middle-grade spiritual body' and was accepted as a disciple by the elders of the Shuiyue Sect. He is already an inner disciple..."
Mother Zhou said with a smile. .
As she spoke, she seemed to be quite fond of Zhou Ying'er.
Suigetsu Sect? Late stage of Tongmai? Inner disciple?
This series of news surprised Zhou Xing and was a big blow.
You know, this Zhou Yinger is one year younger than herself.
Finally, he fully understood: Why are the family heads, parents and others not surprised by the news that I have been promoted to Tongmai?
The truth of everything is here!
The Zhou family actually secretly cultivated such a beautiful girl from heaven.
"Xing'er, now you officially know Ying'er. In the past, because I was worried that Ying'er was too talented and would be murdered by a rival family, I never made it public. Now, Ying'er has become the elder of the sect. Disciple, you don’t need to be too careful."
The family leader Zhou Tianwei said with a smile.
Zhou Xing nodded in agreement, but murmured in his heart: This Zhou Ying'er was well protected. It was pity for her former self to endure Wang Lingyun's persecution.
"Little cousin."
Zhou Ying'er curled her lips and said in an old-fashioned way: "If you don't understand anything in martial arts from now on, you can ask me for advice!"
Zhou Xing: "..."
The entire dinner was said to be a celebration for Zhou Xing, but the real protagonist was Zhou Ying'er.
At the banquet.
The senior members of the clan highly respected Zhou Ying'er, and their words were filled with compliments.
Zhou Ying'er is not a humble person either. She often treats Zhou Xing, her "little cousin", in a "preaching" tone.
The clay figurine still has a temper.
Zhou Xing is not a clay figure, nor is he a broad-minded person who repays kindness with evil, so naturally he feels a little unhappy.
"Come on, Zhou Xing! You are the star of the dinner! Congratulations to my Zhou family, another person has established himself in the sect..."
The head of the family, Zhou Tianwei, is mature and mature, and he takes the lead when he sees the situation. Toast to ease Zhou Xing's embarrassment.
......
Ten minutes late at night.
Zhou Xing and his parents returned to their small courtyard.
"Xing'er, don't take it to heart about today's dinner. Ying'er possesses a middle-grade spiritual body and worships the elders of the sect. She has a bright future. The elders of the clan are pursuing her. Your uncle It's human nature to spoil her."
My mother Liu Yu advised.
"It is indeed human nature."
Zhou Xing smiled bitterly. After the banquet, he didn't really take it to heart. After all, Zhou Yinger is also her cousin.
When it comes to the harshness of the world and the warmth and warmth of people, Zhou Xing has seen too much in his sect.
However, now that Zhou Xing has returned to the clan, he regards this place as "home", which makes him suffer a certain contrast in reality.
At this moment.
Fifteen-year-old Zhou Xing finally understood.
Whether it is within the sect, the clan, or the outside world, the principle of respecting strength is the same.
"As long as you understand this. I hope you and Ying'er can live in harmony..."
Zhou Tiande smiled slightly.
......
Return to the wing.
After Zhou Xing was quiet for a while, he started to use the "Yunsha Mind Technique" as usual, using his inner breath to travel through the meridians.
The practice of mental Dharma requires accumulation over time.,
Practice for one or two hours every day is enough, but too much will not be beneficial.
Two hours later.
Zhou Xing ran the "Yun Sha Mental Technique" several times and couldn't help but sigh.
In terms of inner breath, his progress is sparse and ordinary, far less than his amazing performance in the field of physical skills.
You can imagine.
Geniuses such as Zhou Ying'er and Le Feng are definitely far better than Zhou Xing in terms of their cultivation efficiency and progress in the internal breathing method.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but think of the red-faced old man's evaluation of himself.
At that time, the elder of the sect praised himself highly, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"Why don't you try the "Bronze Statue Kung Fu"."
Zhou Xing thought of the side technique recommended by the red-faced old man.
In "Bronze Statue Gong", because there was no method to open the meridians, it was temporarily abandoned by Zhou Xing.
This time, Zhou Xing looked through "Bronze Statue Skill" again and saw the description above.
Looking closely, Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
First.
As an ancient body-training technique, "Bronze Statue Kung Fu" is specifically aimed at the field of "physical skills", which is very suitable for his talent.
Secondly.
The powerful effect of "Bronze Statue Kung Fu" is indeed good. It can greatly enhance physical fitness, strength, and especially defense!
After practicing the "Bronze Statue Kung Fu" to great perfection, your body will be like a bronze statue, invulnerable to weapons and weapons, and infinitely powerful.
The first chapter of "Bronze Statue Kung Fu" is divided into three levels: copper skin, copper tendons, and copper bones, which correspond to the body tempering stage, meridians unblocking stage, and organ refining stage.
As described above.
If Zhou Xing can cultivate to the "copper skin" level, he can basically ignore attacks at the forged body level, including slashing with ordinary swords.
If one cultivates to the "copper tendon" level, he can withstand attacks at the level of Tongmai stage, and even with a strong body alone, he can run rampant at the level of Tongmai stage, like a humanoid ferocious beast.
In terms of tyranny, there is naturally not much to criticize about the "Bronze Statue Skill".
However. As a partial skill, it has very high requirements on physical fitness and perseverance. Even in terms of training time and difficulty, it is far ahead of martial arts such as "Yunsha Fist".
"Hey! The unique body-refining method...'Bronze Statue Casting Method'?"
Zhou Xing found a specialized method of body-refining in "Bronze Statue Technique" Fa, his eyes lit up.
The "Bronze Statue Casting Method" exercises and stimulates the body through various body movements in many parts of the body.
These actions include more than a dozen methods such as kneading, pinching, folding, bending, knocking, and twisting.
It targets every minute part of the body, including large and small muscles, bones throughout the body, as well as many joints and acupuncture points.
Just reading the picture and text introduction opened Zhou Xing’s eyes and gave him a new understanding of the human body.
He never thought that the human body has so many muscles, bones, and joints.And countless acupuncture points and meridians.
"This "Bronze Statue Skill" basically treats the human body as 'iron making'. All parts of the body, large and small, are tempered and stimulated thousands of times, and finally, a living statue is created. "Bronze Statue Body"
Zhou Xing probably understood the principle.
I am afraid that ordinary people simply cannot bear this kind of practice. The pain alone is very bearable.
Some of them use external environments, such as stoves, ice, waterfalls, huge waves, etc., to temper their bodies, which is enough to scare away a large number of people.
For most people, even if you have enough perseverance and patience, you are still far away from success.
This is because some of the difficult movements in the body-building method have very demanding physical requirements; for an ordinary person's physique, it may take ten and a half days to complete the requirements of one of these small movements.
Huh~
President Zhou took a breath and finally understood why there was a layer of dirt on the secret book when he took it out.
But the difficulty of this martial arts did not scare him.
That night, Zhou Xing began to practice the "Bronze Statue Exercise".
In the room.
Each of Zhou Xing's movements are meticulous or difficult and exaggerated.
Some body-building movements require tapping on key parts of the body, and even difficult twisting and folding.
However.
These actions did not stump Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing's physique can no longer be measured by common sense. He can bend whenever he wants and break whenever he wants.
Some "tapping" body-training movements are nothing to him; perhaps due to his special physique, the pain during the exercise is much lower than expected.
If so.
Ordinary people can only manage to perform these physical training movements forty or fifty points; then Zhou Xing can even perform one hundred and twenty points beyond the requirements of the physical training method.
Of course, just one night is not enough to complete the complicated "Bronze Statue Exercise".
This night, Zhou Xing mainly targeted his arms.
The early morning of the second day.
Zhou Xing raised his arms and saw that the skin and flesh on them were covered with a layer of pale yellow, as hard as iron.
"So fast?"
Zhou Xing himself was a little surprised.
In just one night, his arms acquired some characteristics of the "copper skin" level.
In my estimation, some of the fist and kick attacks in the early stage of forging the body at this time hit Zhou Xing's arms, which was not much different from kicking the wall.
The rapid progress of "Bronze Statue Skill" surprised and excited Zhou Xing.
When he thought about it carefully, it might be that his physique had reached a high level after the fusion of the mysterious heart.
The "copper skin" level may be considered "low-end" for Zhou Xing's current physique.
Of course, Zhou Xing's powerful physique, abnormal recovery power, and extremely difficult completion of those body training methods are also one of the important reasons.
The following days.
Zhou Xing simply concentrated on practicing the "Bronze Statue Technique". In addition to the fixed inner breath transfer and a small amount of rest every day, he spent most of the time on body tempering.
In the blink of an eye, three or four days passed.
Zhou Xing's whole body has been tempered by the "Bronze Statue Exercise".
According to the progress of ordinary people, it can take anywhere from a few months to a year and a half before it is possible to exercise the whole body, and the effect is definitely far less than that of Zhou Xing.
The night is ten minutes.
Zhou Xing only wore a pair of underpants, revealing his skin as bright as copper.
Huh~
As soon as he activated the "Bronze Statue Technique", the skin and flesh all over his body showed a dull copper luster, and expanded in an astonishing way, like a body. Bronze man.
"Is this the 'Copper Skin Body'?"
Zhou Xing looked surprised and took out an ordinary knife.
Ding!
With the strength of an ordinary forging period, the blade scratched the skin of the arm, but there was a soft crisp sound, and the latter was safe and sound.
Install the latest version. 】
“Haha, at least I’ve become a ‘copper skin’.”
Zhou Xing grinned.
The "copper skin" level of tempering is still the most superficial layer of skin; the subsequent "copper tendons" are the deeper muscles; and the final "copper bone" is the tempering that goes deep into the bone marrow.
Now, Zhou Xing's "copper skin body" is at least in its infancy.
Because Zhou Xing’s physique is strong enough, the increase in strength is only a small amount. The biggest increase is the body’s defense!
......
The next morning, Zhou Xing found his father Zhou Tiande.
"Father, I am practicing a body-training technique here, and I need to purchase some medicinal materials to help temper the body."
Zhou Xing said.
The practice of "Bronze Statue Gong" not only relies on oneself, but also requires the help of external resources.
Among them, body tempering liquid is an external assistance method. Related prescriptions, from low to high, are introduced in "Bronze Statue Gong".
"Oh?"
Father Zhou received two prescriptions for body tempering.
These two prescriptions are still a bit low-end in "Bronze Statue Skill".
The lowest-end one is called "Common People's Prescription", which is a precious medicinal material that can be bought with gold and silver in the world.
The other one needs to be combined with some rare spiritual materials, and may require the purchase of Yuan Stone.
"There is no problem with the first prescription. The second prescription may require some Primordial Stone, so I will apply to your uncle. Now that you have broken through the Tongmai, it is time for the family to give you some resources. ”
Father Zhou nodded, took the prescription and left.
As for Zhou Xing, he continued to rely on his ownPhysical advantage, hard training "Bronze Statue Kung Fu".
Three days later.
Zhou Xing’s "Bronze Statue Skill" actually successfully achieved "a small success in bronze skin"!
[Copper Skin Xiaocheng]: Zhou Xing's body surface defense has greatly increased again, and his strength has also increased to a certain extent.
At this level, it is estimated that ordinary attacks under Tongmai are like scratching an itch for Zhou Xing.
At this time.
Zhou Xing felt that his body-building method had slowed down if he practiced it alone.
Fortunately at this time.
Father Zhou has collected the materials needed for the body tempering liquid.
But what disappointed Zhou Xing was that what Zhou’s father brought was only the medicinal materials from the “commoner’s prescription”, the kind that could be bought with ordinary gold and silver.
According to the description in "Bronze Statue Gong", this prescription has the worst effect.
"Okay, we have only collected the materials for the first prescription for the time being. Because we need some Yuan Stone for the second prescription, your uncle said that the family's finances are very tight, so we need to think about it."
p>Father Zhou said with a guilty look on his face.
He originally thought that now that Zhou Xing had broken through the Tongmai, the family should give him some resources to cultivate him.
As a result, he was rejected by the head of the family, Zhou Tianwei.
