Qi and Blood Soup Medicine

"Has he actually mastered the Tiger Form in one day?" 

In the practice room, seeing Chen Feng standing still practicing punches, Cao Tong's eyes flashed with astonishment. 

He had thought the other party had high talent, but he never expected that Chen Feng would be able to master the Tiger Form in just one day. 

"Martial arts awakening, looks like it's definitely the awakening of the martial path." 

The thought passed through his mind. If he had some doubts before, thinking it would need further verification, now Cao Tong was absolutely certain. 

Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he felt that the martial arts school had really struck gold this time. 

When it's reported to the elders later, he might even receive some recommendations or rewards. 

"Good, good..." 

"As expected of my fan!" 

The more he thought, the happier he got, and Cao Tong couldn't help but slap the shoulder of a core student beside him heavily, making the student wince in pain. 

However, Chen Feng didn't notice. 

He just silently stood still practicing punches until it was nearly noon. 

The progress prompt didn't appear, even though he was drenched in sweat and feeling exhausted. 

"When I first started, I could increase 1 point of progress in one morning." 

"Now, the difficulty of the Tiger Form has clearly increased a lot. It seems it'll take a whole day to increase 1 point." 

Shaking his head at his own talent, Chen Feng exhaled and walked to the rest area by the floor-to-ceiling window, grabbing a sports water bottle and drinking deeply. 

Gulp! 

Gulp! 

The cool water helped alleviate some of the fatigue and heat. 

Sweat slid down, and Chen Feng could clearly feel the soreness and pain in his muscles. 

Since his physical attributes had improved, especially his physique, he hadn't felt like this in a long time. 

Even when he was practicing sanda and judo in his previous training class, he had never experienced this. 

This was enough to prove that the Flame Tiger Stance indeed had the effect of strengthening the entire body, as Cao Tong had said. 

"I can't take it anymore." 

Lin Hao, soaked in sweat, walked over and grabbed his water bottle, drinking like crazy. 

He had received another private instruction from Cao Tong today, but unfortunately, it seemed to have little effect. 

Seeing his state, Chen Feng couldn't help but ask, "I heard there are muscle-enhancing liquids on the market, supplements that can strengthen the body." 

"Although they haven't circulated in Nanjiang City yet, you should have a way to get them, right?" 

Lin Hao paused slightly, realizing the implication. 

He wasn't angry, instead, he smiled and said, "I just enjoy practicing martial arts. It's my dream, you know?" 

"This doesn't seem to contradict it?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled. 

"No, you don't get it." 

Shaking his head, Lin Hao's smile faded, and he reminded him earnestly, "Supplements like muscle-enhancing liquids shouldn't be injected or taken casually." 

"Especially for martial artists." 

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow at this, as he really didn't know this, and was also curious as to why they couldn't be taken. 

Lin Hao didn't explain, instead, he patted his stomach and said, "Let's go eat!" 

"I'm starving, can't hold on much longer." 

Chen Feng, noticing Lin Hao didn't want to discuss it further, didn't press the matter. He, too, was feeling a bit tired and hungry, so they went to the canteen together. 

... 

"So many people." 

The canteen was located on the first floor of the martial arts school and was a large, independent space, covering several hundred square meters, with white floor tiles making it very bright inside. 

Rows of long metal tables and chairs were arranged in an orderly manner, and there were many people moving about — over a hundred people passing by, either queuing for meals or sitting in groups. 

At the far end was a long row of food counters, with plates of meat, vegetables, and fruits placed below the counters. 

Beef, fish, potatoes, tomatoes... and fruit platters such as watermelon, as well as warm milk... 

You could get food by swiping the core class student card, with no limit on the amount, but you couldn't take it away. You had to eat until full. 

"The martial arts school is really rich." 

"Of course, we get to have lunch every day, and just this alone is a big expense." 

"Enough talk, hurry up and get the food, I'm starving." 

The noisy chatter was like a swarm of bees, and the various smells of food made people's appetites soar. 

As Chen Feng and Lin Hao entered the canteen, they scanned the crowded seats. 

They didn't delay and, based on memory, quickly found a less crowded counter and queued up in an orderly fashion. At the same time, Chen Feng took out a white magnetic card from his pocket. 

It had the student's photo, name, and the building design of the Flame Tiger Martial Arts Hall as the background. 

This was the identity card handed out by Cao Tong during rest time when they joined the core class, and it allowed them to freely enter and exit the martial arts school. 

Beep! 

The card was successfully scanned. 

"Let's get some beef, the milk is just the right temperature, I'll have a box..." 

Lin Hao quickly took his food and glanced at Chen Feng. 

Looking at Chen Feng's tray, which was stacked with beef and rice, Lin Hao's eyes widened. 

"This guy's appetite has grown again?" 

Surprised, Lin Hao didn't leave right away. 

He noticed that the staff at the counter also brought out a thick brown medicinal soup and placed it on Chen Feng's tray. 

"Whoa, you've really mastered the stance?" 

Lin Hao didn't know about Chen Feng's progress, but he remembered what Cao Tong had said. 

Only those who have mastered the Flame Tiger Stance are qualified to receive the Qi and Blood Soup Medicine, a privilege for geniuses. 

Many of the core students around them also looked envious, and their eyes towards Chen Feng held a bit more admiration. 

Only those who practiced it personally knew how difficult the Flame Tiger Stance was. Many people hadn't even visualized the form yet. 

"Yeah." 

Chen Feng nodded lightly, not intending to explain that he had already mastered the Tiger Form, so as not to make Lin Hao feel too disheartened. 

Even so, Lin Hao still looked at him with admiration. 

"Mastered it in one day. As expected of you." 

The two chatted casually as they searched for an empty table, soon finding a spot to sit. 

Without delay, Chen Feng picked up the Qi and Blood Soup Medicine and opened his mouth wide. 

Gulp! 

A strong herbal taste filled his mouth, and he couldn't help but wrinkle his brow. 

But thinking of the benefits of this soup medicine, he still swallowed it all. 

"How does it taste?" 

Lin Hao asked curiously, handing over a tissue. 

"Terrible." 

Chen Feng took the tissue, wiped his mouth, and shook his head slightly. 

"Be grateful." 

Lin Hao smiled and explained, "The Qi and Blood Soup Medicine is made by the martial arts school using various herbs, specifically for martial arts practice." 

"Although it's not as effective as secret medicines, if taken daily, it still has significant benefits for strengthening the body and improving Qi and blood." 

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. 

He had thought this was a secret medicine, but now he saw it wasn't what he had imagined. 

However... 

His gaze shifted, and he suddenly felt a warm current rise from his stomach, slowly integrating into his body's flesh and blood. 

It was faint, and his four-dimensional attributes showed no change. 

But with his perceptive abilities, he could keenly sense that his physique had improved slightly. 

"So, the effect of this Qi and Blood Soup Medicine is gradual?" 

His eyes brightened, and Chen Feng looked back at the food counter. 

He wondered if he could get another serving.
