Chapter 4: The Power of Soaring

The face in the mirror is blue here, purple there, and the corner of the mouth on the right side is also slightly swollen.

"Shhh

Zhang Tie reached out and touched the slightly swollen corner of his mouth, gasping for air, it hurt badly!

"I don't know what's going on?"

He felt a little sore all over his body, anyway, the temperature was not too cold at this time, he took off his shirt and pants, leaving only one trouser and looked around.

On the body, there are also a few places that are purple and hurt badly.

Reached out and pressed the purple place on his body, and felt it, it was not the kind of piercing, unbearable pain.

Fortunately, it shouldn't hurt the bones.

Otherwise, you will have to cultivate for a long time!

Putting on his clothes, Zhang Tie gritted his teeth, and he firmly remembered the damage caused to him by the scar!

At night, Zhang Tie found a large wooden barrel, poured the boiled hot water into the barrel, and then carefully took out the delicate ceramic bottle in his arms.

"Don't look at you so small, but you're quite valuable!"

While talking to himself, he pulled out the sieve on the ceramic bottle.

"Gross!"

Unexpectedly, there was a pungent and very unpleasant smell from inside the bottle. Zhang Tie was caught off guard, took a big inhale, bent over and retched a few times.

"It smells terrible!"

Zhang Tie looked at the ceramic bottle in his hand with some disgust, and held it away from his nose. He didn't expect that the expensive 'quenching fluid' would smell so bad!

"It smells so bad, does it really work?"

With doubts, Zhang Tie poured a whole bottle of 'quenching liquid' into the wooden barrel.

A small dark green and very thick liquid flowed from the ceramic bottle. As the liquid flowed out, the unpleasant smell became even more pronounced!

Holding back the smell, Zhang Tie tried his best to pour all the liquid in the bottle into the wooden barrel.

Uncle Li said that the use of 'quenching fluid' is to pour hot water into it, and then soak the whole person in it.

In this way, it can be best absorbed!

That's right, Zhang Tie secretly thought to himself, such a stinky thing must be unrealistic to drink!

While thinking wildly, Zhang Tie also kept staring at the changes in the barrel.

The dark green liquid quickly spreads out when it comes into contact with the hot water. The wooden barrel, which was originally crystal clear, immediately turned dark green, and the bottom of the barrel was no longer visible!

"Huh?"

Zhang Tie was slightly stunned, and the unpleasant smell disappeared! On the contrary, there was a burst of grass fragrance coming from the wooden barrel!

"What's going on?"

Zhang Tie looked at the barrel in a daze and scratched his head. Soon, he stopped thinking about it. 'Quenching fluid' is a very precious thing, and this situation is normal in his opinion!

He hurriedly stripped himself naked, and carefully climbed into the barrel, his whole body immersed in the dark green liquid.

After a while, Zhang Tie's face changed slightly, and he felt that the 'quenching fluid' had worked.

The first thing to react was the purple places! The purple places were crispy and numb, as if there were ants biting!

The feeling lasted for a moment, and his face turned red.

Not only the purple part of the body, but the whole body began to be crispy and numb!

The whole body is very itchy!

"Hold on!"

Zhang Tie's hands soaked in the liquid were clenched into fists, and he silently cheered himself up in his heart!

Uncle Li said that the longer you persist, the more benefits you can get!

Slowly, Zhang Tie's face became more and more red, his forehead was full of sweat, and even his hair became wisps because of the stickiness of sweat!

He gritted his teeth, his toes under the liquid clasped tightly to the bottom of the barrel.

It hurts so much!

After that crispy and numb feeling, the whole body is as if it has been pricked by thousands of needles, and the pain is unbearable!

"Ahh

As time passed, the pain became heavier and heavier, and Zhang Tie couldn't help but let out a low roar!

He was almost unable to bear it anymore, and his whole body began to twitch irregularly.

"Ah...... Ah......h

Zhang Tie roared, his eyes slowly beginning to roll up. Finally, with a tilt of his head, he fainted against the barrel!

He fainted in pain!

Zhang Tie, who fainted, would not know that there was another man in the small courtyard.

It was Uncle Li dressed as a black feather guard!

For something as valuable as 'quenching fluid', it is basically impossible for Uncle Li to get a second copy. Just in case, he has been waiting around the quadrangle.

When Zhang Tie shouted, he entered the courtyard and began to be on guard.

"This kid fainted in pain!"

Uncle Li shook his head, walked out of the room, and stood on guard in the small courtyard.

I have to say that Zhang Tie is actually very wronged.

In fact, the 'quenching solution' is not used alone, and together with the 'quenching fluid', there is also a calming medicine.

Using it with that kind of potion, it wouldn't be as uncomfortable as Zhang Tie felt at all.

As for what Uncle Li said, the longer you persist, the greater the effect, which is purely to fool Zhang Tie. Regardless of whether you feel it or not, as long as you soak it in hot water with the 'quenching fluid', your body will absorb the medicinal effects of the 'quenching fluid'.

Uncle Li said that purely to exercise Zhang Tie's perseverance.

The pathetic Zhang Tie didn't know, and kept gritting his teeth until he fainted.

As time passed, the turquoise color inside the big wooden barrel began to become lighter and lighter, and Zhang Tie was exposed to the skin outside, as if there was a little mouse, rolling up and down!

............

In the early morning, the soft sunlight shone into Zhang Tie's small courtyard, and the birds outside were chirping happily.

Zhang Tie, who was sitting in the big wooden barrel, moved his fingers slightly, and his eyes blinked a few times.

"Hmm!"

Zhang Tie snorted softly, tilting his head.

Poof!

A cold sensation hit him, and he jerked his head up.

"Ahh

Wiping the water stains on his face with his hands, Zhang Tie shuddered and hurriedly stood up from the barrel.

It's still early spring, and although it's not cold, it's definitely not enough to soak in cold water!

"Huh?"

Standing up, Zhang Tie was stunned.

Stretched out his hand and scooped up the water in the wooden barrel, it was extremely clear!

He remembered that he seemed to have fainted yesterday. Before fainting, the liquid in the barrel should be dark green, and the bottom of the barrel should not be visible at all!

"It's cold!"

Standing on the barrel, a breeze blew, Zhang Tie shivered, hurriedly came out of the barrel, dried himself, and put on the clothes that had been prepared yesterday.

"Strange?"

When he was getting dressed, Zhang Tie was surprised to find that all the bruises on his body yesterday had disappeared!

He hurriedly found the mirror and looked at his face.

"Forehead ......"

On his face, he is still blue and purple, and the corner of his right mouth is still slightly swollen. I still have some pain when I touch it with my hands.

"Is it the effect of 'quenching fluid'?"

Yesterday the whole body was soaked in the barrel, and the head was exposed. The injuries on his body are all healed, but his face is still like that.

Yes, it must be the effect of 'quenching fluid'!

The young Zhang Tie thought to himself, it would be nice if he soaked his head in it yesterday! But then he shook his head, and he seemed to have fainted yesterday.

If your head is soaked in it, won't you suffocate to death?

It's okay, it's okay, no one should have seen the way he fainted yesterday, right?

While thinking wildly, Zhang Tie heard a gurgling sound. I touched my stomach and was a little hungry.

Shaking his head, he cleaned up his room and headed into the kitchen.

Zhang Tie usually lives alone, and there is some food in the kitchen.

Steam the rice and remove a few large radishes and a small piece of meat. Eat rice in the morning with a radish roast pork!

Clean the radish, place it on the cutting board, and chop it with a knife in your right hand, ready to cut off the radish where you don't need it.

Click!

A crisp voice sounded, Zhang Tie's eyes widened, he looked at the ear knife in his hand, and then looked at the board that had been split!

"What's going on?"

Zhang Tie threw the radish aside, and slashed lightly with a knife again on the board that had been split!

While!

After a crisp sound, the board was split again!

"This ......"

Zhang Tie hurriedly brought the kitchen knife in his hand to his eyes, and looked at it carefully, it was still the kitchen knife, there was no difference!

Hurriedly picked up the board that had been split into several pieces and looked at it carefully, it was no different!

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Zhang Tie thought of something, picked up a piece of the board with both hands, and exerted himself slightly.

Click!

From the middle, the board was broken in half.

It was a chopping board for cutting vegetables, which was originally made of very strong wood, but it was actually broken by Zhang Tie from it!

"'Quenching fluid'? Yes, it must be quenching fluid!"

Zhang Tie threw away the board in his hand, with an excited look on his face, and trotted all the way into the courtyard in the small courtyard.

In the courtyard of the small courtyard, there is a willow tree with a crooked neck, and in early spring, the willow tree pulls out tender branches.

Underneath the willow tree, there is a pitted stone lock.

Zhang Tie trotted all the way and stopped in front of the stone lock. The stone lock was left by Zhang Tie's father, and it weighed three hundred catties. It's his father, the tool he usually uses to train strength!

The stone lock of three hundred catties is a bit huge for Zhang Tie. Usually, Zhang Tie basically didn't look at the stone lock, it was so heavy that Zhang Tie couldn't even push it.

But at this time, Zhang Tie looked at the somewhat huge stone lock with hot eyes.

Walk into the stone lock, grasp the grab bar above the stone lock with both hands, and lift it up slightly!

With the exertion, Zhang Tie showed a look of surprise on his face!

With the strength of his arms, the three-hundred-pound stone lock was lifted to his chest. With a soft shout, his arms exerted force again, and the stone lock was held high above his head!

"This ...... It's not the limit!"

Holding a stone lock of three hundred catties, Zhang Tie's arm did not tremble at all, he could feel that three hundred catties was far from his limit!

Bang!

Zhang Tie threw the stone, and the entire ground trembled slightly.

Throwing away the stone lock, Zhang Tie made a sprinting motion. He wanted to try it, and now the speed was more than a block!

With a sharp force of his right foot, he kicked on the ground.

Bang!

A dull sound sounded, and Zhang Tie fell and ate!

"It's so good!"

When he got up from the ground, Zhang Tie did not have any loss on his face, but was full of surprise! The fall just now was caused by the great increase in leg strength and the failure to grasp it well!

Goo-goo!

was about to try other times, Zhang Tie's stomach kept screaming.

"Forehead ......"

Rubbing his stomach, Zhang Tie stopped. Anyway, there is still more time, so fill your stomach first, and then try a little bit later!

All morning, Zhang Tie dodged in various tests!

His strength skyrocketed!

To be precise, the muscles of the whole body are strengthened!

The arms, thighs, waist, and so on, all of them are full of strength! But how much strength has grown, it is unknown.

Although there is a large martial arts training ground in the 'slum', which can detect the strength of his arms, Zhang Tie does not plan to go there.

That would be too ostentatious!

In fact, what Zhang Tie didn't know was that he had grown more than just strength.

As a precious medicinal liquid, 'Quenching Body Fluid' will quench the human body, including muscles and bones!

He is only eleven years old now, and his body is not fully able to absorb the effects of the 'quenching fluid'. Most of the medicinal effects of the 'quenching fluid' are still lurking in his body.

Over time, his body was able to fully absorb the 'quenching fluid'.

But even so, Zhang Tie was very happy.

Yesterday, a group of them were still discussing when they would be able to join the Black Feather Guard Training Camp. Today, Zhang Tie has met this requirement!

Uncle Li said that since he wants to become a Black Feather Guard, the sooner he can join the Black Feather Guard Training Camp, the sooner he can join!

Zhang Tie is ready to join the Black Feather Guard Training Camp after a while!

The Black Feather Guard Training Camp recruits students twice a year. One in March and one in December.

Now it is less than ten days before the first enrollment of students.

Prepare well, it's time to join the Black Feather Guard Training Camp!

When I was sitting alone in the small courtyard, there was a knock on the door outside.

Knock! Knock!

"Here we go!"

Zhang Tie responded and opened the door of the small courtyard.

"Why are you here?"

At the gate of the small courtyard, three children stood. In addition to the stone and the big head, there was a chubby child.

Seeing Zhang Tie, the chubby child looked concerned, looked at Zhang Tie's face, and said, "Are you okay, Zhang Tie?"

Zhang Tie looks a little miserable, he doesn't look like he's fine!

Facing the concerned eyes of the three people, Zhang Tie let go of his body and said to the three of them: "I'm fine, you guys come in quickly!"

He's fine, it's too good to be better!

The three of them, plus Zhang Tie, sat around the table in the small courtyard.

The three of them all looked at Zhang Tie with a concerned face, and Shi even stretched out his hand and touched the corner of Zhang Tie's slightly swollen mouth, and asked, "Are you really okay?"

"Okay, I'm really fine!"

Zhang Tie had been testing how much strength he had gained all morning, and he didn't go out to buy gold sore medicine at all, and his face was naturally the same as yesterday, still blue and purple, and the corner of his right mouth was slightly swollen.

In the eyes of the three of them, their faces were hurt like this, how could they be okay?

And Zhang Tie was thinking about whether to tell the three of them?

After thinking about it, the three of them were ordinary children in the 'slums', and now instead of doing odd jobs, they came to visit them. It is equivalent to losing half a day's wages, which is very rare in the 'slums'!

After all, money in the 'slums' is above all else!

Thinking about it, Zhang Tie made a decision!
