Chapter Twenty-Four: Rapid Progress
Ji Ren got up, and the bones of his body rattled with his movements.
"Giggle......
Ji Ren said: "Comfortable, if it goes on like this, I may enter the True Qi Realm in two or three months." β
Xian Lingzi yawned and said, "Two or three months is so long, waiting for the dead!" β
Ji Ren opened the door of the room and walked to the bathroom, "Don't wait, I'm still so young, at least you have decades to wait, don't worry!" β
Xian Lingzi said lazily: "It's up to you, I don't have to do anything, I can sleep more if I can!" β
"Gurgling ......"
"Spit ......"
Ji Ren wiped his mouth with a towel and said, "Why do you sleep so much, don't help me look at my body, yesterday's incident, I still don't understand what is going on......"
Xian Lingzi said: "Don't think about it, it must be you who are reckless." The body can't hold it, it's like this, it didn't let you break it, it's all good. β
"Really?" Ji Ren thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case. "So what should I do? I can't do it next time! β
"What to do? Forgive the body, of course! What else to do, you think you'll fly now? Don't know how to take good care of your body? The old man gave you a potion bubble last night, which helped you repair the damage to your body to a large extent, so don't be reckless next time, it's no good. Xian Lingzi said.
Ji Ren said: "It turned out to be a potion, no wonder it felt different, scalded to death." β
"That old man is not an ordinary person, the lowest strength may be a master in the middle of the Mortal Realm, you can do it yourself, try not to annoy him, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat, don't blame me!" Xian Lingzi was silent after speaking.
"What? Mid-Mortal Realm? Isn't that strong? Ji Ren asked.
After waiting for a while, I didn't see a reply, and I knew that Xian Lingzi was sleeping again.
Ji Ren went down and saw that Uncle Chen was still reading a newspaper, drank a bowl of porridge and went out to warm up. After they came out for a while, they shh......h
Then the next five days were passively beaten by Ji Ren, speaking of which the four of them are also magical, at first they were obviously tired after two hours of fighting, but at the beginning of the second day, they were able to stay active for a long time (beating Ji Ren) without showing fatigue.
Ji Ren who beat him was getting more and more sloppy, and he had to use all his strength to dodge, but fortunately, they didn't use all their strength at the beginning, so Ji Ren had a little breathing space.
As soon as Ji Ren showed a more relaxed face, the four of them stepped up their speed and used a little more force to hit Ji Ren. The stormy fist hit the body, and the pain turned into uncomfortable in the end.
It wasn't until the sixth day that the training session turned into a long-distance run. Then after running for another six days, Ji Ren's body changed again, and he could occasionally hear the sound of a tree. However, his physical strength has broken through to a new upper limit, and he can move normally regardless of the presence of bracers or not.
This kind of powerful change, even Uncle Chen was extremely amazed, Uncle Chen became more and more recognized by Ji Ren, and even looked at his future, not because of Ji Ren's change, but because Ji Ren was able to do things that others needed for a long time in a short period of time.
In some ways, it's an advantage that is hard for others to have.
Chen Xiaozhong thinks that since he can do this step, then he will start the next stage of training, to practice sandbagging, Ji Ren is stupid, why do you suddenly have to go sandbaging again. However, he thought it was a good thing, and he didn't have to run around all day, so he went to punch the sandbags for a few days, and then the shelf collapsed, and the sandbags were about to be broken by him......
Since there was nothing to fight, Uncle Chen personally fed Ji Ren, requiring that every ten punches, be sure to touch Uncle Chen, no matter where he took the initiative to touch, it would count, otherwise, Uncle Chen would have to give him a trick in person.
In the first three days, let alone touching, he couldn't even get close to Uncle Chen's two meters, and Ji Ren didn't think it was possible, and then for a few days, he was like he was going crazy, and he had to hit Uncle Chen no matter what. However, he really couldn't hit it, at least every time he was almost touched, and then he was taken by Uncle Chen with his left or right hand, either flying out and rolling twice, or falling to the ground.
Well, he knew that he really couldn't do this, so every time he punched, he had to think about what to do, but he was told that it was useless to think, only one second faster than others, you could hit others, and indeed Ji Ren shot the fastest every time, but he was sent first by Chen Bo and hit back.
In the end, Uncle Chen said that he had nothing to improve on, so let's rest for a while! Changed Zheng Qiaonan and they went up to beat Ji Ren, Ji Ren was not convinced at first, thinking that he obviously still had a lot of room for improvement, so why should he say that it was gone. Then the moment they made a move, he understood what Uncle Chen meant.
Zhou Youpeng's punching speed is the fastest, but after Chen Bo's special training, he can clearly see the trajectory of Zhou Youpeng's punches, and can even speculate where he is going to fight, which makes him feel amazing, after trying a few times, it is indeed as he thought, blocking their attacks.
Ji Ren stared at them with a smile, and they were furious when they saw it.
Li Qiangyong shouted: "Laughing so shyly, look at the boxing!" β
"Bang, bang, bang"
Li Qiangyong opened his bow left and right and threw a few swing punches, all of which were defended by Ji Ren.
Yuan Cheng rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "That's right, it's all blocked!" β
Zheng Qiaonan said: "That's right, it's blocked, and it's been taken very safely, it seems that he has already followed us." β
Zhou Youpeng smiled: "That's really unpleasant, let's go together!" β
Ji Ren faced the rotation attacks of the four people in four directions and turned into simultaneous attacks, calmly passed two moves with Li Qiangyong first, and then dodged Yuan Cheng's straight punch, bent down to dodge Zheng Qiaonan's hook punch, one after another, Zhou Youpeng's combination punch was interrupted by him.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
Nangong Huang'er had nothing to do on the third floor of the villa, so she loved to watch them train from time to time, but fortunately she didn't know what Ji Ren fainted last time, otherwise she wouldn't know what it looked like.
"Wow, Ah Ren has become so powerful that he can actually block their siege, is it because of Uncle Chen a few days ago?"
"Hit, hit them, oops, why are you so stupid, flash! Wouldn't it be possible to dodge the punch by dodging it? β
"It's so stupid, how can you not look at the back! Hmph, stinky man, he actually joined forces to beat Ah Ren......"
When Nangong Huang'er watched with relish, Chen Bo quietly appeared behind her.
Uncle Chen said, "Miss, what are you looking at!" β
"Ahh Chen, Chen Bo. I didn't look at anything, I didn't look at anything......" Nangong Huang'er hurriedly turned around and said.
Uncle Chen knocked her head and said dotingly: "I'm playful again, I don't want to read books well today, why go and see them!" β
Nangong Huang'er shook Uncle Chen's arm and said, "Oh, I've been reading and reading here all day long, Huang'er wants to accompany Uncle Chen out for a walk, take a walk, take a walk, don't stay here all the time, okay?" β
Uncle Chen rubbed Nangong Huang'er's head and pondered, "Uh...... So, is it okay to go back after a while? β
Nangong Huang'er said coquettishly: "No, no, no, Huang'er has been here for more than a month, and she has only gone out once, if it weren't for a few more people to get around here every day, I would be bored to death." β
Uncle Chen smiled helplessly, "Okay, let Uncle Chen take a look first, there is nothing interesting recently, where there are many people, you say crowded, and where there are few people, you say that it is boring, it is really nerve-wracking." β
Nangong Huang'er said: "Well, Uncle Chen is the best, then Uncle Chen thought slowly, I can go anywhere, but can I bring Ah Ren?" β
Uncle Chen is thinking about where to go, the situation has not been too good recently, those idiots of the Jin family have sent people everywhere to find Ji Ren, this kid, well, there is no way to make him change his face, it's really not easy to do! Hey, by the way, there will be a begging festival next month, and you can go to the temple fair when the time comes, as well as the mid-year festival, fold round money, cut paper clothes, buy a few paper people and come back to burn, it's not bad to be lively. As for Ji Ren, take him out when the time comes, and if someone finds out, leave him hanging outside, and take him back if it's okay.
said: "Miss, how about we go next month?" β
Nangong Huang'er asked, "Huh? Why? Uncle Chen, you lie! β
Uncle Chen said with a smile: "Don't dare, it's just that next month there will be Qixi Festival, Qiqiao Festival, and July 14, Zhongyuan Festival, when the time comes, we will buy two paper people and some paper money back, and then we can fold the yuan, cut some paper clothes, and burn them to the people who pass by, wishing them early success." Do you say you want to wait a little longer, or do you want to go out now? β
Nangong Huang'er weighed it left and right, and felt that it would be more cost-effective to wait until next month. So he said, "Uncle Chen, let's wait until next month." β
Uncle Chen nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's go to the temple fair next month and have a happy begging festival." β
β¦β¦
"Bang ......"
Ji Ren was careless for a while, and was shaken by Zhou Youpeng a few times, and received a few punches in his left eye, so he had to hold his head to protect his eyes first. They seized the opportunity with a hammer, and Ji Ren scurried around with his head in his hands, like a ruffian, beating a weak man. Fortunately, the pain comes and goes quickly.
"Oops......"
"Puff"
Li Qiangyong was accidentally grabbed by Ji Ren's shoulder and thrown out, and his clothes were torn a little bit.
"Ji Ren, you're going too far! Look at my clothes......" Li said, grabbing the clothes on his left shoulder.
Ji Ren smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Yong, I was wrong." β
Li Qiangyong said angrily: "I'm sorry? Punch me, you stinky boy, ahhh β
Ji Ren took a few steps back, dodged Li Qiangyong's punch, and bent down lightly to crawl out of the encirclement of the four, "Wait, wait, it's time, let's go down and play in the water, don't fight." β
Li Qiangyong said: "If you don't fight, you won't fight? No way! β
Yuan Cheng rubbed his wrist and said, "Let's go, go into the water, you wait and ask Ah Qing about the clothes, see if there are any more, if there are any, change to a new one, if not, you can ask her to get some needlework and thread, and sew it up." β
Zheng Qiaonan took the lead in taking off his shirt and plunged into the water to soak, Zhou Youpeng just took off his shirt and wanted to go into the water, Ji Ren was already eager to try, and jumped into the pool suddenly.
"Smack"
"Sandβ"
"Gollumβ"
"Ha, cool, Brother Yong, come down!" Ji Ren let out a long breath in the water, feeling the softness of the water, and he felt very comfortable.
Li Qiangyong said: "Okay, okay, come down, you kid pay attention next time, it's not good to break it." β
"Haha, okay, I see, I won't damage your clothes next time." Ji Ren said with a smile.
Yuan Cheng teased: "I won't break your clothes next time, but he will definitely break your pants, be careful!" β
Zhou Youpeng leaned against the edge of the pool and said with a smile: "Oh, what a strange idea, how can you just break your pants!" Isn't it lonely to be in your panties like this? β
Zheng Qiaonan swam half a circle, and when he heard them talking and laughing, he interjected: "Why don't you strip off all his clothes, anyway, all the men here are, are you still afraid that women will see them?" β
Ji Ren said to the gods, "Isn't A-Qing a woman?" β
"Hahahaha......"
They were all amused by Ji Ren, laughing and playing.
Ji Ren wondered what they were laughing at......
At half past eight in the evening, Ji Ren took a bath, his spirit was still okay, lying on the bed thinking about what he had done today, and summing up what he had gained.
Well...... In recent days, I have been beaten a lot, fallen a lot, beaten a lot, but I didn't beat many others. However, I can keep up with them, does it mean that my strength has surpassed theirs, no, my strength has surpassed them, so Uncle Chen will restrict me and prevent me from making moves with them, and not being able to control my strength is one of my biggest problems, but now it seems that I can control my strength to a similar extent.
It's just that my strength has also become a lot stronger, and I still can't attack them at will. However, Uncle Chen's strength is a bit frightening, and I am still too weak.
β¦β¦
"Knock Knock"
The knock on the door brought Ji Ren back to reality, and Ji Ren got up and went over to open the door.
"Miss?"
Nangong Huang'er pushed Ji Ren back to the room and closed the door with her backhand.
"Not? I can't understand you closing the door! Ji Ren said.
Nangong Huang'er put her finger to her mouth and shushed. "Don't say it so loudly, I have good news for you."
Good news? That's interesting. The two sat on the edge of the bed, like a young couple.
Ji Ren asked, "Miss, what is the good news you said?" β
Nangong Huang'er coughed seriously twice, and slapped Ji Ren's thigh, which made Ji Ren's heart burst twice. Then he said, "Next month, do you want to go out for a walk?" I heard that there is not only Tanabata, but also the Midyear Festival. Uncle Chen said he wanted to take us to play! β
Ji Ren silently took her hand away and emphasized: "Mmmmmm, Qixi, Zhongyuan, I thought it was a big deal, this is half good news, not a good news." β
"Well, it seems to be." Nangong Huang'er thought about it and felt that this was really the case, so she slapped Ji Ren's thigh again.
"Smack"
Ji Ren's nervous reflex hands twitched, and he immediately grabbed her hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, no, no, don't slap my thigh, okay?" β
Nangong Huang'er smiled and bumped into Ji Ren, "You're afraid, you're afraid that I will slap your thigh, then I won't slap you next time." β
Ji Ren wanted to rub his temples with his hands, but he felt a little pain in his brain, and as soon as he took it away, Nangong Huang'er grabbed it and put his hand on his thigh.
Nangong Huang'er said: "Then I will compensate you and let you shoot back, don't be angry." β
Ji Ren was still worried about whether the two iron rings in his hands would get her, so he dared to let her hold on to it carefully. Annoyed: "Don't compensate me, I still have three hundred pounds of bracers in my hand, you be careful." β
Nangong Huang'er was surprised: "Three hundred catties? Is that just these two little things? "Pick it up, look left and right, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it.
Ji Ren removed the one in his right hand and put it on his left hand. "Try it, and you'll know if there's one."
Nangong Huang'er reached out and held it suspiciously, wanting to pick it up, but found that she really couldn't pick it up, and she didn't even move much. Grabbed with both hands, and couldn't hold a small silver bracer when he stood up. "Hmm...... It's so heavy, how can it be so heavy?! β
Ji Ren laughed and said, "What do you think! Uncle Chen gave it, if it weren't for this thing, I would have suffered more than half! β
Nangong Huang'er said: "I'll go and ask Uncle Chen to take this thing back, and don't let him wear it for you!" With that, he turned around and walked out the door.
"Hey, what are you doing? If you don't suffer a little, how can there be such rapid progress, you stupid girl, come back! Ji Ren hurriedly grabbed her and said.
Nangong Huang'er looked at Ji Ren distressedly, "Then you don't have to suffer a lot, but you ......"
Ji Ren interrupted her and said: "If you don't pay, you must have no gain, I still understand this truth, at least for now, my gain is not bad, at least I think I am worthy of the word bodyguard." Well, don't worry about me. β
"Poof"
Nangong Huang'er threw herself into Ji Ren's arms and whispered, "I don't want you to be my bodyguard, I just want you to be my friend, okay?" β
Although Ji Ren said that he had begun to get used to her, he still habitually wanted to push her away, and said: "I am your friend in private, and in front of everyone, I can only be your bodyguard." β
Nangong Huang'er raised her head, "Why can you only be my bodyguard in front of everyone?" I don't want you, I want you to be my friend, I want you, I want ......"
Ji Ren looked at her angry, and couldn't help but think of his mother, when his father was still there, he also liked to be coquettish so much, and subconsciously hugged her, missing his parents. "If they're still around, I should be able to be like you, coquettish, and then I'll be so worry-free......"
Nangong Huang'er heard him muttering to herself, and wondered, "Ah Ren, what are you talking about?" β
Ji Ren shook his head and helped her up with a smile. "It's nothing, I think of something, okay, it's not early, let's go back to sleep!"
Nangong Huang'er stood obediently, "Oh, then I'll promise you to me." You're my friend, not my bodyguard! With that, he walked out of the room, his cheeks red as if he had drunk wine.
"Click"
After seeing the door of the room closed, Ji Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know what to say, Xianlingzi, why is she only targeting me like this?"
Xian Lingzi replied: "I don't know, didn't you ask me this question before?" I feel like she's just because you're her friend, that's why she has this special affection for you. Actually, you don't have to be surprised or scared, because she doesn't do this to you, if you change to another person, she may treat her like this, relax! β
"Sometimes I really don't care what she thinks, but sometimes when I think about it, I always feel that something is wrong, although she is very pure to me, but I have to say, she is a woman, since I was a child, my father said, men and women are not kissed, men and women are different. There is a difference between men and women, and I really don't think there is anything about this. Because it's really different, but whether it's kissed or not, I'm very vague. Ji Ren said with annoyance.
Xian Lingzi smiled: "Then didn't you say that she was just a little sister next door?" β
Ji Ren covered his face with a squeak, "I thought so at first, and I also told her that I was like a little sister next door to her, but now I feel like a little sister next door, I feel like I'm going crazy......"
Xian Lingzi comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, just wait for her to slowly improve." β
"When she changes, I guess it's going to be over."
Ji Ren crossed his legs and forcibly removed distracting thoughts and began to practice......
