Chapter 22: Nourishing Soup

Bell, bell!

Throughout the day, in a corner of the school field, above the location of the open-air special training, there was a continuous echo of the crisp sound of gold and iron.

In front of the iron pillar with the thickness of an adult's forearm, Yue Zheng continued to chop and slash, because of the heavy burden he was carrying, every time he slashed out about a hundred knives with all his strength, his physical strength would be basically exhausted, and then he would need to meditate on the ground and use breathing to recover his physical strength; and after his physical strength recovered for a while, Yue Zheng would stand up again and swing his knife towards the pillar in front of him.

Although he was sweating, the combat uniform he was wearing had already been wet with sweat, and it was more difficult to come out with the knife every time, but Yue Zheng's eyes had always been stoic and calm, and he didn't know if it was because of the strong sense of crisis in his heart, or because some nature in his bones had been liberated.

In this process, Xing Yuan just watched from the sidelines, and clearly saw the knife marks on the iron pillar, from extremely shallow to deepening.

The trajectory of the sun went from east to west, except for an hour of lunch and rest, Yue Zheng was like a ruthless machine, carrying a heavy burden of eighty kilograms, just slashing at the iron pillar from early morning to dusk, during which even the demon slaying knife in his hand began to curl because of the continuous slashing, and then had to be replaced.

5,000 or 10,000?

Yue Zheng couldn't remember how many knives he had slashed, and in the splash of sweat, he only felt that his vision was beginning to blur, and his arms and even his entire body seemed to be no longer his own, only the breath in his heart burned like fire, supporting him to keep making knives, knives, knives.

Untilβ€”

When!

I don't know how many knives passed, the knife flashed, and the pitch-black iron pillar buried deep in the ground was broken by it, and the broken section crossed a parabola and fell to the ground.

I...... It really did.

The sunset on the horizon was burning red, and the part of Yue Zheng's tiger's mouth was already blurred with flesh and blood, and he looked at the iron pillar in front of him that had been cut off by him in a daze, stunned.

"Congratulations to Yue Zheng. ”

On the side, Xing Yuan walked over slowly, with a faint appreciation in one eye:

"Normally, it would take at least two or three days for a new reserve demon slayer to cut off the Black Dark Iron Pillar, but it only took you one day to prove that you are better than their potential. That's the end of today's training, you can go back and rest. ”

Will it take two or three days for the other Reserve Demon Slayers?

This should be the reason why I have reached the full level of intermediate breathing...... But even if I leave that aside, I'm not doing any worse than anyone else......

As if he had finally proved something in this way, Yue Zheng grinned at Xing Yuan, and then dragged his extremely tired body and slowly walked towards the direction of the dormitory.

Although he finally cut off the Black Dark Iron Pillar with a breath in his heart, after the goal was completed and the breath in his heart was released, he only felt that his whole body was sore, especially the muscles and bones of his arms almost seemed to be broken. He didn't even have the strength to eat now, he just wanted to go back to the dormitory and lie down as quickly as possible.

"Wait a minute. ”

However, as soon as Yue Zheng turned around, Xing Yuan took out a wooden card from his waist and threw it over:

"This is a medicated bath card, which is considered a benefit for newcomers. You take it to the medical clinic to find Gu Lao, he will provide you with a bucket of health medicine bath, after soaking in the soup, you can relax your muscles and invigorate your blood, repair subtle injuries in your body, and greatly recover your physical fatigue, otherwise you may not be able to continue training tomorrow. ”

"A medicine brand newcomer can use the health soup five times. Remember, don't use it lightly unless your body is tired and injured to a certain extent. For example, for ordinary bruises, you can get some commonly used medicines from Gu Lao. ”

And this kind of goodies?

Catching the so-called medicine card, Yue Zheng's eyes couldn't help but light up:

"Thank you, instructor. ”

After thanking him, he immediately dragged his heavy body through the school yard and came to the medical office where Gu Lao was.

Said to be a medical office, but in fact it was an antique small building, as soon as Yue Zheng walked in, he smelled a vague fragrance of medicine, and saw a young man with a wooden background, and a beautiful girl in a blue cloth shirt was grinding medicine.

Seeing Yue Zheng walking in, the girl raised her head and asked with a simple and curious expression:

"Hey, you're it?"

"I'm Yue Zheng, a new demon slayer, come to find Gu Lao. ”

This girl is about the same size as the original owner's sister, Yue Zheng showed the medicine card that Xingyuan gave him, and said politely:

"This is the medicine label my instructor gave me, and I want to have a bucket of health soup. ”

The girl glanced at it, and immediately ran to the stairs leading to the second floor, and shouted crisply:

"Grandpa, grandpa, someone is looking for you, and they want to match the body soup!"

Grandfather...... It turned out to be Gu Lao's granddaughter?

Yue Zheng flashed a thought, and then saw Gu Lao walking down the stairs unhurriedly, and when he saw him, he looked at him slightly, and said unexpectedly:

"Yue Zheng, you are going to be prepared with body nourishment soup today, which instructor trained you so hard?"

"My instructor is Xingyuan. ”

Yue Zheng grinned:

"But I became like this mainly because of myself, and I don't have much to do with the instructors. ”

He was not wrong in what he said, although Xingyuan initially asked him to cut off the iron pillar within a day, but this was obviously a difficult task for most newcomers, that is, he only survived by breathing.

"Young people's hard work is great, you wait a while. ”

Seeing Yue Zheng's extremely embarrassed appearance, Gu Lao shook his head and smiled, didn't ask more, turned his head and said to the young man and girl downstairs:

"Ah Hua, you go boil water, Xin'er, you go and prepare the medicinal materials for the body soup and send them to me. ”

The young man known as Ah Hua and Gu Lao's granddaughter Xin'er immediately took action, and Yue Zheng also used the demon slaying knife to support his body to find a table and sit down slowly, waiting silently.

That is, about twenty minutes later, at the suggestion of Gu Lao, Yue Zheng came to a closed hut at the back of the building, and in the hut was a steaming large wooden barrel more than half a person high, and an inexplicable fragrance of medicinal herbs filled the entire room.

"The soup is ready, and you can go in and soak it. ”

In Yue Zheng's curious gaze, Gu Lao explained:

"The medicinal materials in the soup are all easy-to-absorb medicinal materials from the previous year, if you want to have the best effect, you must run the breathing method to promote absorption when taking a medicinal bath, generally speaking, the medicinal effect can be basically absorbed after soaking for an hour, and you can come out on your own after an hour. ”

Yue Zheng nodded impatiently, and after Gu Lao left and closed the door, he took off the sweat-soaked heavy equipment and clothes on his body, and then mustered all the strength of his body and climbed into the medicated bath bucket.

"Hiss......"

The hot water overflowed his body, Yue Zheng seemed to be out of his body, and couldn't help but breathe, only to feel as if the pores of his whole body were opened, whether it was his sore body or his tired spirit, he was extremely comfortable and relaxed.

Is this a medicated bath?

It feels fantastic......!

The incomparably comfortable feeling made people drowsy, Yue Zheng couldn't care about too much enjoyment, and immediately cheered up and operated the breathing method according to what Gu Lao said.

And with the operation of the breathing method, he immediately clearly felt that with the emptying of the spirit and the operation of the internal breath, there seemed to be a trace of strange heat, which was constantly drilling into his body through the pores, nourishing his limbs.

In this way, in the midst of enthusiasm, Yue Zheng sat in the medicine barrel and completely relaxed, maintaining the operation of the breathing method and the absorption of the medicinal power of the body soup, and the soreness and fatigue of the body were also rapidly improving.

It wasn't until an hour later, when the temperature of the body wash soup had basically cooled down, and he could no longer absorb anything during the operation of the breathing method, that Yue Zheng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with joy.

"It's amazing......"

He stood up from the tub with a hula, waved his arms, and clearly felt that the soreness and fatigue of the original muscles and muscles had been greatly reduced, and his overwhelmed body seemed to be renewed, which was very incredible.

"And ......"

As if sensing something, Yue Zheng's mind moved, and he directly called up the data panel:

Pneumatic power: 3.1

Physique: 2.9

Sensitivity: 2.9

Spiritual: 3.1

Skills:

[Intermediate Breathing Method (Dacheng)], Effect: Strength +2.0, Physique +1.9, Agility +1.8, Spirit +2.1

【Iron Body Skill (Not Learned)】

【Sky Splitting Knife (Not Learned)】

[Remaining Mandate Points]: 4

"Sure enough, the strength and spirit have increased by 0.1 ...... compared to before. In other words, not only breathing, but also extreme exercise methods can improve physical fitness?"

The conjecture in his heart was verified, and Yue Zheng was overjoyed.

The original special training was just an exercise of experience and skills, but now Yue Zheng accidentally discovered that the special training can actually improve his physical fitness a little, and he is undoubtedly more full of expectations for the follow-up content.

"Goo-"

In the midst of all these thoughts, although the soreness and exhaustion were greatly reduced, then the strong hunger took over, Yue Zheng immediately wiped his body and came out of the bathtub, and then put on his uniform and weight-bearing equipment again.

After submitting the medicine card, Yue Zheng also received some commonly used bruising drugs from Gu Lao, and after repeatedly thanking him, he left the medical office, and then came to the cafeteria non-stop for a crazy tonic.

In the cafeteria, there was nothing special except for meeting Xu Liang and several other future colleagues of the East Brigade again. After Yue Zheng finished eating, he returned to the dormitory, and did not rest immediately, but first took off the weight-bearing equipment on his body, and then began to practice "Iron Body Gong".

After a whole day of iron cutting training during the day, his understanding and control of his body and strength became clearer and clearer, and even his comprehension of "Sky Splitting Knife" has made great progress, but "Iron Body Gong" has no time to practice.

One attack and one defense, two prongs, in order to have the greatest guarantee for himself, Yue Zheng naturally has to seize all the time that can be used. He mobilized his body with a strong will, and exercised his body silently for nearly two hours, and after exhausting his physical strength, he finally ended a day of hard cultivation and lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
