Chapter 51 Ironclad as an Ox! Fully Equipped and Ready to Go!

My book?

Su Hao flipped through a few pages, and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

I never expected my work to be so popular, even among these Nestorian Christians.

However, Su Hao also noticed that the book in his hand was somewhat different from the original version he had written before. Many of the words in it had been changed to be more straightforward and blunt, which lowered the reading threshold considerably.

Su Hao didn't care about this. Anyway, this thing was made to be a popular book for the general public. The more people who could understand it, the better, and the more value it would create.

Collecting his thoughts, Su Hao packed his things away and then began to unpack his luggage.

Last night, Su Hao returned to the courtyard to continue his daily practice of the Crimson Blood Palm.

During this period, apart from practicing Yue Shan Fist at the martial arts school every day, Su Hao spent the rest of his time practicing Crimson Blood Palm.

Therefore, in terms of progress, Crimson Blood Palm has surpassed Yue Mountain Fist, reaching Lv2 (896/1000), and is not far from breaking through Lv3 to reach the Iron Skin Realm.

This speed is truly astonishing.

In addition, the effect of the dual qi and blood power explosion tested tonight completely reassured Su Hao, who was originally hesitant and worried about whether there would be problems from practicing two techniques at the same time.

Five days later.

As dawn breaks, the entire stone-walled courtyard is bathed in a soft golden glow.

The autumn dew on the branches reflects the sunlight, creating shimmering specks, and a touch of coolness begins to creep into the air.

In the courtyard, Su Hao stood shirtless, his well-defined body bathed in the morning light, his inverted triangle physique looking as if cast in bronze and iron.

His palms were crimson, as if they contained flames, and he struck the iron stakes on his body again and again, producing muffled thuds.

bang bang bang...

Su Hao's eyes were firm as he watched the +1+1 numbers constantly appearing in front of him, his speed and force increasing!

clang!!

Only when the final palm strike landed, producing a crisp metallic clang, did Su Hao suddenly stop!

"It's done!"

Su Hao's eyes lit up as he felt the crimson color in his palm begin to circulate within his body like a galloping wild horse. He knew he had broken through!

Every breakthrough and transformation of Qi and blood brings a strengthening and enhancement to the body. This is a systemic process, encompassing the five senses and the essence, energy, and spirit.

Although the strength of the qi and blood cultivated by each martial art may differ, their essence is the same: they are all processes of strengthening the body.

The transformation process lasted for a full quarter of an hour before the surging blood and qi in Su Hao's body gradually calmed down.

He clenched his fist, feeling a power completely different from before, and threw a punch!

Whoosh!

A slight whooshing sound rang out as a fist, accompanied by a gust of wind, struck out with a speed comparable to an accelerated throw.

Then he struck out with both palms, landing on the iron stakes on his body. With two crisp metallic clangs, two shallow palm prints were left on the iron stakes.

Skin as tough as iron, strength as great as an ox!

This is the Iron Skin Realm!

After testing, Su Hao was satisfied and opened the proficiency panel.

Name: Su Hao

[Qualifications]: 4

[Martial Arts]: Yueshan Fist Lv2 (821/1000)

Crimson Blood Palm Lv3 (1/2000)

[Skill]: Forging Lv3 (678/2000)

"His aptitude has increased to 4 points, it seems he'll be breaking through to Yue Shan Fist soon."

Su Hao nodded slightly.

He has now reached the Iron Skin Realm, and his Qi and blood have undergone a transformation. Future breakthroughs in Yue Shan Fist will simply involve going through this process again.

However, because of the difference in the strength of Qi and blood, in theory, under the premise of two-blood martial artists, the second blood of Yue Shan Fist should be stronger than that of Chi Xue Zhang.

This is why there are strong and weak styles in martial arts.

Su Hao had wondered if by practicing multiple martial arts and constantly breaking through, he could continuously enhance his aptitude and accumulate qi and blood.

But this is just wishful thinking.

First, martial arts techniques are rare and hard to come by, let alone complete martial arts manuals with accompanying secret medicines and methods. Those are even rarer. Su Hao doesn't have the means to find them right now, nor does he have the energy and resources to cultivate them.

Secondly, Su Hao believed in the theory of Qi and Blood superposition. There are so many martial arts practitioners in this world, so someone must have tried it. But why doesn't anyone try and promote it in daily life? There must be a reason behind it.

Su Hao's current attempt can hardly be considered innovative, and he has no idea whether this path will be successful. He can only wait and see.

However, he was not worried. He had the panel to back him up and no bottlenecks in his cultivation. What might be insurmountable difficulties for ordinary people was a smooth road for him.

After glancing at the sky, Su Hao tidied himself up, dressed, and headed out to Nanshan Town.

Today is the day Zhou's Pharmacy needs to transport medicinal herbs. A batch of herbs needs to be transported to Daling Town, and the whole trip will take three days.

During this free time, Su Hao had already completed most of the rice gang's business. He would only need to return after this escort mission was over to replenish the remaining weapons.

Upon arriving at Zhou's Pharmacy, Su Hao saw Zhou Zhengtang and a group of guards waiting for him.

It seemed that this mission was quite important, as a middle-aged man with gray hair and wearing a purple robe appeared beside Zhou Zhengtang.

Su Hao frequently visited the Zhou family, so he naturally recognized this person as Zhou Cheng'an, the head of the Zhou family.

In addition, several other middle-aged elders from the Zhou family were busy in the shop, arranging for people to pack the goods into boxes and load them onto the carriages.

After greeting Zhou Zhengtang and his father, Su Hao returned to the guard team to await departure.

At the same time, his gaze swept across the guard team and he noticed that the previous captain, Shen Qing, was there, along with several unfamiliar faces.

However, judging from the fact that these people were talking to Shen Qing and arranging things for the rest of the guard, it was clear that these people were members who were participating in the guard duty this time.

"Main Hall, is that Su Hao you've been mentioning lately? You said he wrote all those poems?"

While everyone was waiting for arrangements, Zhou Cheng'an turned his gaze away from Su Hao and looked at Zhou Zhengtang beside him, asking a question.

"Hmm...it was indeed all done by Brother Zhou..." Zhou Zhengtang scratched his head awkwardly, his smile stiff.

He was eventually exposed, especially in front of all the teachers…

He hadn't expected his father to be so concerned about his studies. Knowing his exceptional talent for poetry, Zhou Cheng'an specially invited him to a feast to showcase his skills, and the result...

Of course, I lost a lot of face!

Although he managed to cover up his lie by saying he was out of sorts, his father was not so easily fooled. After some questioning, he confessed that Su Hao had been implicated.

"You really can't judge a book by its cover..." Zhou Chengan shook his head. It was hard to imagine that those masterpieces were actually written by that tall and strong young man.

"I heard he has decent martial arts talent?"

Zhou Chengan seemed to have thought of something and asked again.

"Breaking through the stone skin in a month," Zhou Zhengtang said.

"How long has it been since your last breakthrough?" Zhou Chengan asked curiously.

After all, many of the people Zhou Zhengtang had associated with in the past were from all walks of life and did not do proper work. People with talent and potential like Su Hao were rare.

"It's been almost two months..." Zhou Zhengtang hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.
