Chapter 23 Jingyuan Dao Fruit
"The Dao Fruit of Essence?"
This was the first time Song Shen had obtained such a Dao Fruit, which was clearly completely different from the Dao Fruits he had obtained before.
Upon taking a look, Song Shen was immediately filled with excitement.
But then a '+' sign slowly lit up behind Hunyuan Gong.
[Hun Yuan Gong Level 3 6%+]
This means that Song Shen can directly add points to the Hunyuan Gong, which is the Dao Fruit that Song Shen has been looking forward to for many days.
No need to wait.
Song Shen directly clicked on the '+' sign, pouring all the power of time from the Dao Fruits into it.
Ten months and nine days, more than three hundred days and nights of sweat and effort, have transformed into a memory and experience that surged into Song Shen's mind like a tidal wave.
The fruits of more than ten months of hard work, as he remembered them, manifested in Song Shen's body in almost an instant.
The force that permeated his entire body directed inwards into his eyes, like an iron hammer gradually hammering out the impurities from a red-hot iron block. His fascia was also being constantly torn and honed by the force.
Almost every cell is changing, and the fascia that connects all the body's tissues is sending out pain and itching, causing the skin and muscles to change along with it.
Song Shen felt that the steely pillars of his warrior body were being gradually supported by the great power of time.
The tendons and ligaments are the first hurdle a martial artist encounters after practicing internal strength.
Most martial artists can only develop internal strength, which is considered a great achievement. Those who truly master the skills to the core can find good food anywhere in Xinyu City.
The common people say that a person has five bows: the body bow, the arm bow, and the leg bow. You can find any hunter in the mountains to know that whether a bow can be used to hunt depends not only on the quality of the bow arms themselves, but also, and perhaps more importantly, on the bowstring!
And this fascia is the bowstring.
After a long while, Song Shen stood up and remained still, finally completely exhausting the power of the Dao Fruit.
[Hun Yuan Gong Level 3 38%]
……
"Only a 32% increase in ten months"
Song Shen thought to himself that this fascia training was an extremely time-consuming and painstaking process. Even after ten months of sleepless nights, he had only made such a little progress.
However, the numbers on the experience bar are one thing, but how Song Shen feels physically is another.
Now, Song Shen's movements are becoming increasingly agile, and the awkwardness and sluggishness of the past are gradually disappearing, replaced by agility and transformation.
With every move, the increased strength and speed were indescribable without experiencing it firsthand; Song Shen felt only a sense of exhilaration.
"Should I learn a new technique to practice?"
Song Shen felt that his body's flexibility and suppleness had greatly improved after training his tendons, and that practicing movement techniques would definitely be a great advantage for his speed.
There's no time like the present, so Song Shen went to the black market the very next day to search for secret manuals.
It was dark.
Wearing a scarred mask, Song Shen arrives at Baixiong Island in Green Lake.
Baixiong Island is located deep in the waters of Green Lake and is named after the abundance of Baixiong (Ligusticum striatum) growing on the island.
Because it was far from the city and surrounded by water, it became a haven for criminals and was later imprisoned by the Sand Boat Gang, the most prominent gang in Xinyu City.
The Sand Boat Gang thrived in the Xinyu area for over forty years, amassing great wealth. On this island, they not only established a black market but also built casinos and various other shady trade fairs.
Song Shen knew that it was very difficult to buy martial arts skills openly in this world, because all powerful martial arts skills must have a lineage, and ordinary people would not dare to sell them lightly.
But this isn't a problem on the black market; as long as you have money, nothing else matters.
Looking at the customer dressed as a wandering swordsman, the stall owner first took out a booklet called "Dragon's Stroll".
"Sir, this Flying Step is a rare and excellent movement technique. Once you master it, I guarantee you will be as light as a swallow and able to leap across rooftops and walls."
Judging from the appearance of this wandering swordsman, the stall owner automatically categorized him as one of those outlaws who had learned martial arts to evade the pursuit of government agents.
Song Shen slowly pressed his large hand onto the table.
next moment,
A pit slowly appeared on the surface of the black iron wooden table.
"Don't flaunt your deceptive tricks, or I'll show you how difficult the road to the underworld can be."
A hoarse voice, and a dagger exuding a chilling aura.
The stall owner, abandoning all his ulterior motives and sweating profusely, forced a dry laugh and said, "I was blind just now and did not realize that your cultivation was so profound."
Such skill is something only martial artists who have reached a deep level of fascia hammering can possess. No one wants to offend such a master.
Song Shen deliberately revealed a mocking chuckle: "You're not really just trying to scam fools to make a living, are you? I bet not a single one of these booklets of yours is genuine."
The stall owner chuckled and said, "Since it's a genuine product, how could I possibly try to fool you with a fake? Please take a look!"
Only then did the stall owner pull out a yellowed booklet. Song Shen took it and saw that there were bloodstains on the booklet, which made the booklet seem much more authentic.
Upon opening the panel, a line of text immediately appeared on Song Shen's screen.
【Dragon-Surging Steps (Beginner Level)】
……
The stall owner said in a rather mysterious low voice, "This skill originated from a disciple of the White Moon Sword Hall in the city. It's genuine, no need to say more, you can tell at a glance."
Song Shen glanced at the man, flipped through the book for a moment, and finally bought the secret manual.
When he left, he thought some fool might come up and offer him Dao Fruit, but to his surprise, those seemingly unapproachable vagrants glanced at Song Shen and then voluntarily stepped aside, behaving extremely politely.
This is the effect of strength.
With the addition of two new martial arts techniques, Thunderous Blade Technique and Treading in the Air, to the panel, Song Shen was indeed quite busy.
Even though he has the talent to prove himself forever, he still feels that one person is not enough.
I really want to go out and wreak havoc to obtain Dao Fruits.
But Song Shen knew he had to remain rational and never kill anyone unless absolutely necessary, because that would make him a complete slave to the system.
When the agreed time arrived, Song Shen came to Old Li's courtyard again.
Since the last time, Song Shen had not seen Old Li. Every time, it was this senior sister who came, which made Song Shen's impression of Old Li, who was elusive and rarely seen, continue to deepen.
However, having cultivated his martial arts to this level, Song Shen no longer dared to reveal his full strength at will.
It wasn't that he was deliberately hiding his abilities; it was just that his progress was a bit too fast, and it was hard to guarantee that people wouldn't become suspicious.
"Come in."
It was still that indifferent voice.
Song Shen felt a strange sense of familiarity and pushed open the door to enter the courtyard.
Today, Senior Sister Yu was dressed in white, and her once black hair had been cut short to shoulder length, making her look very neat and tidy.
"As usual, look at the knife first, then the fist."
Having not seen each other for over a month, Song Shen looked forward to this meeting, hoping that the other party could enlighten his cultivation, and was therefore very sincere.
"Please, senior sister."
