Chapter 29: I'm a martial arts newbie!

After ending the call with Yun Yanchen, Jiang He felt a heaviness in his heart!

"The Sky Demon Cult!"

"The Rumbling Thunder Dojo …"

The Sky Demon Cult aside.

They were an evil faction that dared to stand against the entire Great Xia!

The Rumbling Thunder Dojo alone was not something Jiang He could handle!

"Yun Yanchen is right!"

"If the Rumbling Thunder Dojo is really in cahoots with the Sky Demon Cult, they would never let me go …"

He took out three of the Twenty-Four Flavour Rehmannia Pills.

[Ding!]

[Use the right medicine. Strength + 10kg.]The jingle of a System Notification in his head eased Jiang He's mood, and he thought, 'It seems that I haven't had the time to exercise after lunch … this world is too dangerous, and I would never let go of any chance to improve myself if I want to be able to protect myself.'

He went downstairs.

Out of the hospital.

Jiang He exercised for a while on the exercise equipment beside the hospital parking lot.

[Ding!]

[Exercise the right medicine. Strength + 10kg.]Back in the VIP ward.

Jiang He began to practice his basic martial arts: body movement, fist, and blade.

But soon, Jiang He noticed a problem …"My strength has increased to 8610kg."

"If I'm careless while cultivating, the shockwave from my fist would destroy the room."

After cultivating for a while …The bedsheets were lifted, and the curtains were rattling!

And that was because Jiang He had held back his strength, or the windows, TV, and other glass would have been shattered.

Jiang He had to cultivate on the rooftop.

After cultivating for two hours, it was time to take the Twenty-Four Flavour Rehmannia Pills.

[Ding!]

[Use the right medicine. Strength + 10kg.]After eating the pills.

He returned to the VIP ward and took a cold shower. It was dinner time again.

The one who delivered the food was still the nurse named Zhou Yue. She had seen Jiang He's display of strength in the morning, and was even more afraid to look at him. She put down the food, turned and ran.

"The VIP ward is really nice."

"There's even braised lamb chop and fish …"

[Ding!]

[Eat the right medicine. Strength + 10kg.]After dinner, Jiang He sat on the couch in the living room and was about to watch TV when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Jiang He said flatly.

The door was pushed open.

Outside the door, the specially hired nurse came in with the medicine cart. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Mr. Jiang, it's time to take your medicine."

"I can't stand your sudden change in attitude."

"What?"

You don't need to scare me with your 1100kg arm strength? "

"I don't dare!"

The fat nurse hurriedly said, "Do you know how mighty Mr. Jiang is? Even the personal disciple of a Martial Dao Grandmaster is no match for you. My strength is not worth mentioning in front of you!"

Reports on the Internet.

Jiang He had read it.

Not only had his identity been exposed, but the identities of the disciples of the Rushing Thunder Dojo that he had defeated had also been exposed.

Jiang He was aware that Chen Xiang was a personal disciple of Fang Tailai, the owner of the Rumble Martial Dojo.

"Mr. Jiang, this is your medicine."

"This is water … Be careful not to choke!"

"Use the right medicine. Strength + 10kg."

Turning to look at the chubby nurse, Jiang He said, "Compared to how respectful you are now, I prefer it when you're unruly and forcing me to take medicine … Alright, get out."

Turn on the TV.

While learning about the current affairs of the country, he took the fruit platter and ate a few grapes.

"Ding!"

"Reasonable diet. Strength + 10kg."

[Fruit After Dinner]

Eating in moderation could help promote gastrointestinal activity, relieve constipation, replenish nutrients, and maintain health!

It was nine o 'clock at night.

Jiang He left on time for a twenty-minute night run.

"Ding!"

"Reasonable exercise, strength + 10kg."

Strength: 8660kg

His strength increased steadily.

Still, Jiang He was not satisfied.

He turned on his computer and started to search online.

"An average Rank-4 martial artist can unleash a force of ten thousand catties."

"Due to different cultivation methods and different control of strength, the strength that can be unleashed is different … Some powerful Rank-4 can even fight beyond their ranks, and can unleash strength comparable to a Rank-5."

A Rank-5's explosive force could reach thirty thousand catties!

"Thirty thousand catties of explosive force is only at the level of an ordinary fifth stage martial artist. For example, that Chen Xiang today, his strength exceeded thirty thousand catties … He was able to receive dozens of punches from me after taking the Berserk Pill and not lose!"

"Fortunately, I was smart and had good fortune. The last punch I threw out contained a force of nearly 40,000 Jin. Only then did I defeat him."

And with that …

Jiang He now had a general understanding of his own ability.

His physical strength of 8660kg was stronger than a weak Rank-4, but much weaker than some stronger Rank-4.

Even if he took pills.

He could only fight a Rank-5 trash like Chen Xiang.

"A Rank-5 pinnacle's explosive force could reach or even exceed fifty thousand catties …"

"As for a Rank-6 martial artist, even a novice Rank-6 martial artist could reach fifty thousand catties of explosive force!"

"There is a huge gap between rank-6 pinnacle martial artists. For example, some martial artists who had been stuck at rank-6 pinnacle for years and cultivated powerful secret techniques could unleash a force of over a hundred thousand catties!"

Meanwhile, at the Thunderbolt Dojo.

It was said that there were four Rank-6 martial artists!

Xiang Rongshan, the Senior Brother of the Thunderbolt Dojo, was even rank-6 pinnacle!

His master, Fang Tailai, the Thunderbolt Hand, was a Martial Dao grandmaster!

Martial Dao grandmasters had reached the level of One with Heaven, and could draw upon the power of the world with a casual move. Unleashing a force of a million catties was child's play!

"That is why I have to improve my ability as soon as possible."

"If I just follow the prescribed routine of eating, using medicine, and exercising, I would only gain 230 catties of strength a day even if I had to fight three times a day."

"It would take a year for me to reach rank-6 pinnacle."

That was already very fast.

Most martial artists could not reach rank-6 pinnacle even after cultivating for a dozen years.

Jiang He would be happy if the Thunderbolt Dojo and the Sky Demon Cult were not involved. His days were fulfilling if he cultivated diligently every day … but now, he felt a sense of urgency!

"Aside from following the prescribed routine of training every day …"

"There are two ways I could improve my combat ability quickly!"

"First, I could look for spiritual items like the Black Fire Spirit Root. Those things are sold, but I can't afford them!"

"Second, I could cultivate my strength technique!"

A powerful strength technique could allow one to unleash twice or several times their own strength … just imagine, if Jiang He could train his physique up to two hundred thousand catties of strength, and then master a tripled strength technique, he would be able to unleash six hundred thousand catties of strength with a single punch. Any rank-6 would be blown apart!

There were many free instructional videos on strength techniques online.

But strength techniques …At most, they would allow you to control your own strength with proficiency, and increase your strength by thirty to forty percent.

Jiang He had been training, and the punch he used to defeat Chen Xiang today had increased his strength by twenty to thirty percent.

Still, after searching for half a day online, Jiang He could not find a manual for strength techniques that satisfied him. Then, with a flash of inspiration, he thought …"Oh, right!"

"Warrior Home!"

"I remember Yun Yanchen mentioning a Warrior Forum of Great Xia before. Any martial artist who passed the Martial Arts Department (MAD) examination could log in with their Warrior ID."

Warrior Home forum!

A place where martial artists gathered.

Instead of blindly searching online, he might as well go to the Warrior Forum.

He messaged Yun Yanchen and asked for the link to the Warrior Forum.

Jiang He clicked on the link, and the first thing he saw was a registration page.

Only after registering could he officially enter the Forum.

He filled in his information.

However, Jiang He was stumped at the last nickname.

"What name should I come up with …"

"Third Brother is Blazing Sword, Fourth Brother is Lethal Poison Master, and Fifth Brother is Nirvana Swordsman … those martial arts elites who are famous throughout the country all have famous nicknames, such as Zhuo Bufan, the Azure Dragon Swordsman, or Chen Jingzhou, the Windchaser Swordsman, the number one elite of the Western Xia base city."

Jiang He racked his brains, countless nicknames flashing through his mind, but rejected each one in the end.

"Whatever!"

"It's just an ID on the Warrior Forum. Why be so formal?"

"Just pick one …"

He remembered his room 207.

Remembering Old Wang in 208, he wrote down 'Old Wang next door'.

"Already taken?"

Jiang He frowned, and wrote 'Loves injections' after 'Old Wang next door'.

Approved!

Entering the Forum.

Jiang He skimmed through it briefly, and found that the Warrior Forum was divided into several sections.

There was a section for international affairs, a section for trading, a section for emotions, a section for black markets, and of course, the most lively section was a section called 'Jianghu Gossip'.

There were all sorts of posts there.

Jiang He even saw …It was a post about himself.

[Shocking! A mental patient in a mental hospital in Wu City of Xixia Base City is actually a body-refining expert!]When he opened the thread and saw that there were less than 100 replies, Jiang He promptly sent a '6666' warm thread before exiting and retyping —"Greetings, fellow martial artists and seniors of the Jianghu."

"I'm a martial arts newbie who walks on the path of body refinement. My strength is too weak, and I want to practice a better technique of exerting force. I hope that seniors can recommend me!"
