Chapter 104: Chapter 103: Need to Raise the Price

Li Ang felt that just a few touches directly stirred up his already swollen Qi and blood, causing his body to beco sowhat congested.

“Seventy percent off, okay?”

“Sure, please continue.”

After increasing the financial investnt, Qiu Ruyue’s hands beca even more unrestrained, almost touching every inch of his exposed skin.

But Li Ang was sure of one thing, this woman’s gaze was definitely different from Sheila’s.

“Can you take off your pants too?”

“That’s… really not appropriate.”

“Sixty percent off.”

“Okay, okay, just don’t pull at my pants, I’ll take them off myself.”

Once he was down to just his briefs, Li Ang could fully confirm that her intentions were purely professional, as Qiu Ruyue’s gaze remained the sa as before, without any change.

“Your skin toughness and muscle density are sowhat beyond my expectations, have you practiced Sideways Training Martial Arts?”

Li Ang thought to himself that this woman had a really sharp eye, she had pretty much figured out everything about him.

“I have practiced so related martial arts.”

“Not only is your constitution exceptional and your Qi and blood strong, but you’re also a martial arts prodigy. It really is suitable for you to practice several types of martial arts.”

When the topic ca up, Li Ang clearly felt that Qiu Ruyue’s voice suddenly beca a bit somber.

“It’s a pity, I would also like to learn a martial art or two, but my body can’t handle it and I don’t have that much energy.”

Li Ang didn’t feel it was his place to comnt, but he thought that Qiu Ruyue’s choice was probably the right one.

For the vast majority of people, practicing martial arts can really only be a hobby. To achieve sothing in martial arts, one must be prepared to dedicate their life’s energy to it.

Moreover, even if you do dedicate yourself, you still need talent, a grandmaster, and opportunities; otherwise, achievents will still be limited.

If you want to defend yourself, it’s better to train in wrestling or judo.

If you want to perform, dancing is definitely more popular with audiences than martial arts.

“I want to feel your tendons and bones, is that okay? It might hurt a bit.”

Hearing Qiu Ruyue’s request, Li Ang nodded.

“Go ahead, I don’t mind.”

Since she was spending so much, this request wasn’t excessive. Besides, her strength wouldn’t be enough to cause him pain…

“Ah!”

Before he could finish his thought, Li Ang reflexively yelled out.

“Isn’t this, my friend, the Bone Fractioning Hand technique you’re practicing?”

He didn’t voice this thought aloud, n can’t admit defeat.

If the body secretes adrenaline after suffering an injury, the resulting pain isn’t as intense.

But Qiu Ruyue’s techniques were clearly different, the kind that allowed one to experience the pain in detail, which explained why Li Ang would involuntarily make a noise.

“Sorry, I’ll be a little gentler.”

Qiu Ruyue rarely showed a hint of apology in her tone.

“Hiss!”

“It’s fine, very comfortable, please continue.”

After a few minutes of massage, Li Ang eventually couldn’t help but ask:

“Is this technique from traditional Chinese dicine, like massage?”

“Sort of, it’s a family heirloom.”

“Can I learn it from you?”

Li Ang had asked casually, mainly because he noticed that Qiu Ruyue’s techniques were quite different from the [Sports Massage] skills he had learned from Sheila. The two types of massage skills might complent each other, or even integrate.

But since people were saying it was a family heirloom, he figured they probably wouldn’t teach it to him just like that.

However, Qiu Ruyue didn’t hesitate at all, nodding her head and saying:

“That’s possible.”

Li Ang hadn’t even reacted yet when Qiu Ruyue added:

“But we would have to get married first.”

“What?”

Feeling him up, Li Ang’s muscles suddenly tensed, and Qiu Ruyue cracked a smile for the first ti.

“Just kidding. What era are we in? Besides, it’s just a bit of massage technique, not so kind of peerless secret to.”

“I thought you were never one to joke around.”

“With people who have no value in conversation, I indeed don’t joke.”

For so reason, Li Ang suddenly felt like he had been complinted.

Often, receiving praise from soone known to be reticent can feel much more fulfilling than complints from soone smooth-talking.

“Then I’ll co to you for lessons next ti. Let’s call it a day for now; my friend is still waiting for outside.”

“No problem, it is good timing since I also need to observe the changes in you after taking the dicine for a few days.”

Qiu Ruyue went back to her emotionless deanor of earlier.

“Why do I feel like I’m a guinea pig in a drug experint? Are you sure it’s safe?”

Qiu Ruyue’s words made Li Ang’s heart tighten. Observing the response after taking dicine didn’t sound too reliable.

“It’s fine. If it really cos down to it, I’ll give you a fifty percent discount.”

Li Ang: ???

When he got ho, Li Ang decided to trust her this ti, as he hadn’t seen anything toxic in the herbs she used; they were mostly tonics.

At worst, it would just be an overdose, and his body should be able to handle it.

Following Qiu Ruyue’s instructions to brew the dicine on the fire, Li Ang headed to the backyard.

It had been so days since he had practiced martial arts seriously, leaving his movents sowhat rusty.

One reason old masters stress daily practice is to consider the natural laziness of people and cultivate the habit of doing the sa thing every day, which helps overco this laziness.

Another reason is that many moves rely on muscle mory, and it’s not practical to think through each action in your head after practicing them for a long while.

Such muscle mories require ti to develop, and once you stop practicing for a while, your skills can significantly deteriorate.

Li Ang spent over an hour going through all the training routines once or twice until he finally managed to recapture so of his previous form.

He looked at his skills panel:

[Tongbei Fist] 659/1000 (Master)

(Trait: Response, Nerve Aggregation Ability increased by 40%)

(Trait: Body control ability increased by 10%)

[Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training] 62/1000 (Master)

(Trait: Skin, muscle strength increased by 40%)

(Trait: Reduction in all physical damage taken by 10%)

[Yijin Jing] 42/100 (Beginner)

(Trait: Lifespan increased by 10%)

[Tongbei Fist] and [Yijin Jing] should be able to make certain breakthroughs in these days, whereas [Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training] would need more intense exercise from him. If he could upgrade this Sideways Training Martial Arts to Grandmaster level before the competition, then he wouldn’t have to worry too much about damage resistance.

Li Ang brought so bricks from the corner of the house. As his [Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training] had reached master level, the effects of using regular iron sand in his training were becoming increasingly diminished.

The core of training for bodily strength lies in breaking and re-forming. If he could no longer injure himself, there would be no improvent.

Li Ang picked up a brick and struck his own head with it.
