"Master Li, it's no problem for me to participate in this martial arts competition, but you are really willing to teach me that trick afterwards. Shi Mu nodded and asked.

"This trick is a little thing that I barely realized after practicing the Fengchi Sword Technique for more than 20 years, and I asked myself if it was not inferior to those martial arts treasured by the family, and I originally intended to use it as a pressure box skill, but if you can really win great benefits for the Liufeng Martial Arts Pavilion, why not pass on you?" Li Canghai said with a hesitant voice.

"Master Li, don't worry, I will definitely do my best when I compete. Shi Mu replied with a smile.

"The speed at which you practice the art of quenching the body is amazing, and the method of iron refining seems to be particularly applicable to you, but you can't underestimate this martial arts competition. Although this competition is only limited to martial apprentices under the age of eighteen, the disciples of the other three martial arts halls are not weak, and I know a few people at least the tenth level of the body. However, if you can cultivate to the eleventh level before the competition, there shouldn't be much of a problem in this competition. Li Canghai said solemnly.

"Since that's the case, then I'll hurry up and cultivate. Shi Mu replied without thinking.

"Needless to say, I will also make you successful in a short period of time as soon as possible. Li Canghai said with a gleam in his eyes, and then led Shi Mu to a big house behind the courtyard, and after entering the door, he plugged in the door bolt.

After Shi Mu entered, he immediately took off his coat, and with a "bang", he untied a heavy sandbag like a belt from his waist, shaking the ground slightly.

This sandbag will not leave him at all, except for sleeping and bathing. The last time I encountered that zombie in the temple, it was also because of the suddenness of the incident, and there was no time to untie the sandbag, otherwise the speed reaction could have gone to the next level.

"The iron sand contained in this seems to be a little lighter to you, and it will weigh another twenty pounds from tomorrow. Seeing this, Li Canghai's pupils shrank slightly, and then he picked up a short yellow wooden stick from a nearby wooden shelf, wrapped with a thick leather cushion at each end.

After Shi Mu agreed, his feet slammed on the ground, and he took a steady step on the spot, and after taking a deep breath, he held his breath with both hands clenched into fists.

After Li Canghai walked over, as soon as his arm moved, the wooden stick turned into a heavy stick shadow and struck at the acupuncture points on Shi Mu's upper body......

After a stick of incense, after Shi Mu got dressed again and walked out of the big house, his original dexterous steps obviously stumbled a little, and he left the courtyard with grinning teeth.

Li Canghai in the big room was sweating profusely, with a wry smile on his face.

"This little guy's physique is too demonic, and he almost tired me, a mid-acquired martial artist. But that's right, if you don't have such a strong body, I'm afraid you won't be able to complete the iron refining method in just half a year, and this martial arts competition is really worth looking forward to. But then again, even if this little guy has cultivated the method of iron refining, it is still a bit incredible to quench his body and advance to two levels in succession within half a year. Could it really be that a bloodline martial artist can't succeed? ”

Li Canghai unconsciously fell into a deep groan.

He naturally didn't know that in addition to practicing the Iron Refining Method in the martial arts hall every few days, Shi Mu did not recuperate and rest according to his instructions after returning home, but relied on his amazing recovery ability, and the next day he still took the thick black armor to the suburbs to hone his martial arts skills and hunt all kinds of beasts, so that he could cultivate the art of quenching the body to such an amazing point in such a short time.

Shi Mu left the martial arts hall, only walked one street, and came to a small house composed of three rooms, and directly pushed the door in.

This rather remote residence is his temporary residence in the city.

After a short while, the smell of herbs began to fill the room, and the hot air emanated from the window.

"It's so comfortable!"

Shi Mu ** was lying in a large wooden basin, which was full of boiling hot water, and there were some flower-like medicines floating on the surface of the water.

His upper body exposed to the surface of the water, covered with bruised marks, but his face was full of soothing expressions, and he soon fell asleep in the basin with a slight snoring sound.

I don't know how long later, when Shi Mu slowly opened his eyes and woke up, the potion of potions had become cold, and the sky outside the window had obviously darkened.

Shi Mu stood up and looked at his body, the original shocking bruises on his skin had become faint.

This Liufeng Martial Arts Pavilion special medicinal bath is really good, and with his extraordinary recovery ability, it is a perfect match. Otherwise, with the inhuman training he has undergone in the past six months, he will not be able to persevere.

After all, not everyone can be beaten with a stick every few days, and at night they have to carry black iron sandbags to run wildly in the mountains, and still stay safe and sound.

After half a year of hard training, Shi Mu's size has soared a lot, and at this moment, in addition to the childishness on his face, in terms of conversation and figure, he is almost the same as an adult.

He wiped off the water stains with a towel next to the wooden basin, put on the clothes and sandbags on the floor again, and left the house.

Half an hour later, Shi Mu came to a certain street in the north of the city, and after a flash, he entered an inconspicuous hut, where two men were sitting at a square table waiting for him, it was Feng Li and Gao Yuan.

"Brother Shi, you're finally here. As soon as Feng Li saw Shi Mu, he immediately left the chair and said with a happy face.

Gao Yuan also stood up very happily to greet him.

"Since Brother Feng has given me a look, it seems that I must have another business to take care of my younger brother. Shi Mu smiled slightly.

"Brother Shi didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid I'll trouble you this time. This time the opponent is the Troubled Water Gang near Huangtian. Our Black Fox Club has already made an appointment with them, and tonight the third watch will compete here to decide the ownership of the five streets near the Tianwang Temple in the north of the city. However, I got the news that this time the Troubled Water Gang has also invited several good hands to help with the fist, and Brother Shi should be careful when he arrives. Feng Li said carefully.

"Good hands, there won't be acquired martial artists, right?" Shi Mu's eyes flashed and he asked.

"Don't worry, how can a small Fengcheng gang like our Black Fox Club and the Ranshi Gang invite the acquired martial artists, at most, they are good martial artists from other martial arts halls. From time to time, because Brother Shi helped us a few times, our power has increased a lot, and the Troubled Water Gang will not jump off the wall in such a hurry this time. Gao Yuan pouted and said.

"That's true. Although there are no explicit constraints, it is impossible for a small gang conflict of our level to enter the eyes of the acquired martial artists. Besides, even if the Troubled Water Gang really knew which acquired martial artist, they couldn't afford to pay the price at all. The shot of an acquired martial artist is enough to bankrupt their families. Feng Li also said with a smile.

"It's okay if there is no acquired martial artist, it's still the old rule, three hundred taels of silver, and I can't let outsiders know my identity. Only then did Shi Mu feel relieved and replied with ease.

"Alright, that's it, your things are ready, we'll be ready to go in a moment. Feng Li agreed, then took out a small package from his body and handed it over directly.

Shi Mu opened the table wrapped in front of him, revealing a pair of black gloves, a black robe and a silver mask, all of which were very skillfully put on.

Suddenly, there was a mysterious figure in black and silver in the room.

"Every time I see Brother Shi dressed like this, it makes me feel that the second brother has not died at all. After Gao Yuan watched Shi Mu dress up like this, he couldn't help but have a complicated look on his face.

"Ahem, this is thanks to Brother Shi's help. Since the unexpected death of the second child, if it weren't for Brother Shi's replacement of his 'fierce fist' identity and repeated heavy blows to strong enemies, the Black Fox would not have said that its power has increased greatly in the past six months, and I am afraid that it would not even be able to keep its original territory. Except for the two of us, others didn't know that our Black Fox Society's number one master had already been replaced. Feng Li also said with a sigh.

"I'm just taking the money, and with your payment, I can always insist on taking the medicinal bath. And your Black Fox Club is also a bit of a conscience compared to several other gangs nearby, if you really let other gangs destroy you, ordinary people nearby will also be very unlucky. A deep voice came from the mask, completely different from Shi Mu's original voice.

"Yes, it's a matter of mutual benefit. It's almost time, let's go. Feng Li stroked his palm and smiled.

Shi Mu naturally had no other opinions.

So the three of them left the house and soon disappeared at the end of the dimly lit street.

......

On an unusually remote and dilapidated street in Fengcheng, two groups of well-dressed men in strong clothes are beating each other.

On one side were the black-clothed people, about forty people, Feng Li and Shi Mu were standing behind with their arms crossed to watch the battle, and on the other side, there were more people, all wearing blue clothes, it was the well-known Troubled Water Gang nearby, and there were also five people standing there without moving.

After a while, the Black Fox Society, which had a small number of people, was obviously at a disadvantage, and many people were beaten on the head by the other party and had to withdraw from the fight.

"Brother Shi, let's make a move. Seeing this, Feng Li said with a sinking face.

Shi Mu nodded, shook his arms, and pounced without saying a word.

There were two muffled "bang" and "bang", and the two blue-shirted men fell to the ground in response.

"Fist of Murder"

As soon as Shi Mu's silver-faced man Fang appeared in the crowd, he immediately caused several screams of fear, but at the same time, there were also two other tall blue-shirted men, waving their sticks and sweeping away Shi Mu's back.

"Click" twice.

Shi Mu suddenly turned around, smashed out his two fists, and directly broke the two sticks from the middle, without waiting for the two people to retreat in shock, after his body shook again, he suddenly bullied one of them close to the front, and the fist moved.

With a "boom", this person flew out two feet away like a sack and fell heavily to the ground.

Shi Mu stepped on the ground again, and shot at the other person like a crossbow arrow, and as soon as he raised his leg, he kicked the other blue-shirted man straight out like a violent wind.
