Chapter 1: Breathing makes you stronger

Chapter 1: Become Stronger Just by Breathing
Pingyin County.

“Externally train your sinews and bones, and internally refine your breath. In our Pole Mountain Fist Gym, we never treat everyone equally, even the precious internal refining methods are taught to you as well, thus as long as you work hard enough, better and stronger techniques are waiting for you as well!”

Extreme Mountain Fist Hall Senior Brother Bi Hong was shouting loudly, while the people of the Fist Hall were listening attentively, in the corner, a dark and thin person, at this moment, although he was also holding his head high, but looking closely at his gaze, he was dull and mute.

Eyes closed and opened, Chen Fei inexplicably came to this world has been a dozen days. Absorbing the memories of the original body, he realized that this is a world similar to the ancient Blue Star.

But here there are high coming and going martial artists, killing an ordinary person, like pinching a chicken.

Chen Fei is now a handyman in a medical center, not even an apprentice, weekdays in the medical center is miscellaneous.

Learn a medical skill? There is absolutely no such thing, simply will not give you the opportunity.

Stealing to learn? If you are found, you will be crippled on the spot, and you will be left to fend for yourself afterward.

The original body is not willing to be like this for the rest of his life, in the medical center in the obedient, hard work, want to win favor, learn a little skill.

Unfortunately, all the handymen think the same way, and the original body is so skeptical of life.

With no other choice, the original body will save some silver taels and come to the pole mountain boxing school to learn from the master, hoping to change his fate.

Polar Mountain Boxing Hall is very dry, worship teacher to teach a breathing method and a set of matching boxing, the original body to get, as if it were a treasure, spare time desperately learn.

Three months of martial arts practice, boxing and breathing method has not had time to get started, due to over-practice, accumulated fatigue, death!
Chen Fei received the original body’s memories, for martial arts is naturally also keen, also practiced for a period of time.

But the facts proved that the original body practiced martial arts for three months, and was unable to get started, there is a real reason.

That was that the talent really didn’t work, Chen Fei inherited this body and realized that his talent wasn’t much better.

Relying on modern thinking to make some money and be a rich man?

Chen Fei originally had this idea, but working as a handyman in the medical center, the original body had signed a contract that for the entire twenty years, he had to be in the medical center.

If he wanted to leave, it wasn’t impossible, but he had to pay an exorbitant amount of silver to break the contract.

And all your extra earnings are the medical center’s, if you hide them, once found, you will be crippled.

Quite inhumane, quite vicious.

Such a terrible medical center, the original body in the first place in order to come in, but also spent a body all.

At least the medical center just let you be a cow and a horse for the rest of your life, whereas other places, they didn’t even give you the chance to be a cow and a horse.

Until just now, an illusory panel appeared in front of Chen Fei’s eyes.

[Name: Chen Fei]

[Profession: None]

[Technique: Extreme Mountain Fist, Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique]

[Realm: None]

“Kung Fu found, do you spend one tael of silver to simplify the Polar Mountain Fist?”

“Discovered Kung Fu, do you want to spend one tael of silver to simplify the Pole Mountain Breathing Technique?”

The panel displayed some information about Chen Fei, while two reminders kept flashing at the bottom of the panel. Chen Fei had just wandered off and was just keeping looking at this panel that had suddenly appeared.

“What are you waiting for, why don’t you start practicing your fists!”

Bi Hong came in front of Chen Fei at some point and yelled, “If you don’t get started with your Polar Mountain Fist, you’ll have to continue paying money to come to the gym next month, you should know this!”

Chen Fei came back to his senses and didn’t dare to say much, intensifying his practice.

Bi Hong looked for a few moments and couldn’t help but shake his head, he was aware of Chen Fei’s background, and had come to the Extreme Mountain Boxing Gym just to take a shot. Now it seems that after all, it is the life of an ordinary person, it can’t be changed.

An hour later, Chen Fei left the boxing gym drenched in sweat, with no gains other than hunger.

Rushing back to the medical center in three or two steps, greeting a few handymen he knew well, Chen Fei ducked back into the house.

Here was the big bunk, usually sleeping nearly ten people, all kinds of sour smell constantly drilling into Chen Fei’s nose. It was good that Chen Fei was already accustomed to it, knowing that when he first woke up, Chen Fei almost didn’t pout from the smell.

“One or two silver, not so much money.”

Chen Fei sat on the pass-through bunk, his brows furrowed. The role of this panel, Chen Fei didn’t know much about it nowadays, because no matter how much Chen Fei asked questions, concentrated his mind, and silently recited all kinds of Open Sesame, the panel didn’t change a bit, nor did it respond a bit.

Only the two prompting texts kept flashing, telling Chen Fei to hurry up and pay the money.

But Chen Fei had hitched up all the silver he had saved in order to go to the Extreme Mountain Boxing Hall in the first place, and now in just a few months, he hadn’t saved up a single tael of silver at all.

“Must think of a way to come up with this money.” Various thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Fei remembered that his original body was outside, hiding a herb.

Four months ago, the medical center was running low on herbs and had a group of handymen follow the medicine pickers up the mountain. That herb was what the original body stole and hid, and also it was that time when he was picking herbs, he encountered weirdness on the mountain and three people died, which made the original body determined to practice martial arts.

The original body heard that practicing martial arts to a certain level could fight against the weirdness. Even if you can’t fight it, if among the people traveling with you, the others’ qi and blood are weaker than yours, the weirdness will look for the others first.

Recently, the county has not been quiet, and the medical center is often short of medicinal herbs, so I’m afraid that going to the mountains once every few months to collect medicines will become the norm.

Chen Fei walked out of the house and had the intention of borrowing money from the other handymen, but one tael of silver was too big for them, and no one would lend it to Chen Fei at all.

If he borrowed money from a few people separately, he was afraid that it would also cause suspicion. Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and left the medical center.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei got the herb and didn’t lose it, while wearing a bucket hat and covering his face, he secretly sold the herb in a workshop market for one tael of silver and fifty copper coins.

Chen Fei also didn’t dare to go back to the medical center and flipped to an abandoned courtyard in the county.

“Simplify the Pole Mountain Breathing Method.”

Chen Fei recited silently in his mind, and in the next moment, the one or two silver in Chen Fei’s sleeve disappeared all of a sudden, and the panel in his line of sight flickered slightly.

“Simplified Extreme Mountain Breathing Method in …… Simplified Successfully …… Extreme Mountain Breathing Method → Breathing!”

Breathing?

Before Chen Fei’s mind could turn the corner, he suddenly saw the information representing himself on the panel change.

[Name: Chen Fei]

[Profession: Martial Artist]

[Technique: Polar Mountain Fist, Polar Mountain Breathing Technique (Intro 1/100)]

[Realm: None]

As Chen Fei continued to breathe naturally, a warmth spread amongst his body, while the number behind the Breathing Technique Introductory, was also rising. However, in a few moments, it had already become 10/100.

Naturally, many, many insights about the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique popped up in his mind.

“This breathing, it’s enough to cultivate?” Chen Fei’s entire body was numb with shock at this moment, would this simplified function be too much. The Extreme Mountain Breathing Method was the use of a special breathing method to mobilize the body’s five organs and six bowels, strengthening the body.

Now that it had been simplified, it had turned into breathing, which could increase the proficiency of the technique.

So perverted, Chen Fei said that he liked it!
“Boom!”

Chen Fei was about to continue studying the breathing technique when the door to the courtyard was suddenly kicked open and a group of people rushed in aggressively.

“Steward Cui, it’s him.” Sha Daxin pointed at Chen Fei and said, “I just saw him take a herb, sell it for money, and then run here.”

Chen Fei frowned slightly, this Sha Daxin had a conflict with his original body before, and he didn’t expect to be bumped into when he sold the herb. Or rather, it was possible that this person was usually staring at Chen Fei, and now he had finally found an opportunity.

“Search!”

Cui Sanjie waved his hand, and several handymen immediately pounced on Chen Fei. Chen Fei did not resist and allowed these people to search his body.

In a few moments, these handymen had already thrown all the silver on Chen Fei’s body on the ground, and there were only fifty copper coins.

“Didn’t you say that he sold it for one or two silver coins?” Cui Sanjie’s brows furrowed as he turned his head to look at Sha Daxin.

“It must be that he hid it in the courtyard.”

Sha Daxin was slightly flustered, but immediately thought of the reason, took a few steps to walk in front of Chen Fei, grabbed Chen Fei’s collar, and yelled, “Chen Fei, you’re out of luck, hurry up and take the money out, or it won’t be this simple later!”

“I didn’t sell any herbs, don’t frame people.” Chen Fei broke Sha Daxin’s hand away and said with an innocent expression.

“Steward Cui, this money must be in this courtyard, we just need to search it properly, we can definitely find it.” Sha Daxin glared fiercely at Chen Fei and turned his head to look at Cui Sanjie.

Cui Sanjie didn’t say anything, but instead glanced at this dilapidated courtyard. The ground was covered in dust, and the only footprints were still some that they had stepped out of, and there was no abnormality anywhere else.

“What are you doing here!” Cui Sanjie looked at Chen Fei.

“Failed to practice martial arts, came here to be quiet for a while.” Chen Fei whispered.

Cui Sanjie grinned, he had heard that the handyman in front of him had gone to the Extreme Mountain Boxing Gym to worship his master, but more than three months had passed and nothing had been accomplished.

“Sha Daxin, come here.” Cui Sanjie said.

“Alas, Steward Cui.” Sha Daxin didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly walked over to Cui Sanjie.

“Pah!”

With a muffled sound, Sha Daxin fell aside with a dazed face and subconsciously covered his cheek, which was already red and swollen. Sha Daxin squirmed his mouth and a few teeth fell out.

“Next time, don’t come to me without evidence, remember?” Cui Sanjie looked at Sha Daxin flatly.

“Know …… it!” Sha Daxin looked at Cui Sanjie’s expression, scared and hurriedly nodded his head.

Cui Sanjie shook his head, a burst of boredom, turned around and left the courtyard, the other handymen hurriedly followed. Sha Daxin stood up and looked at Chen Fei in a sinister manner, Cui Sanjie he did not dare to complain, he could only spread all his anger on Chen Fei’s body.

“Count your dog luck this time!”

Sha Daxin stared at Chen Fei, but Chen Fei did not show. The one tael of silver had long since disappeared and was nowhere to be found, and as for going to confront the man from that store?
How could the medical hall possibly labor so much for one or two silver.

“Hmph!”

Not receiving a response, Sha Daxin’s heart grew even more furious as he gave Chen Fei a grim look and turned around to leave the courtyard.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei returned to the medical center’s large pass-through and looked at his panel.

[Name: Chen Fei]

[Profession: Martial Artist]

[Technique: Polar Mountain Fist, Polar Mountain Breathing Technique (Proficient 930/1000)]]

[Realm: Martial Artist (1/100)]

The Pole Mountain Breathing Technique had become proficient, and the sensation given to the body with each breath had become a little more pronounced. At the same time the realm had changed, becoming a martial artist.

Chen Fei had heard from his senior brother at the boxing gym that a martial artist was an ordinary person who had just started practicing martial arts, and that to truly achieve something, one should reach the Skin Training Realm.

Attaining this realm would truly open the distance between them and ordinary people. At the same time, the Pole Mountain Boxing School will also accept you completely and become a member of the Pole Mountain Boxing School.

Just as Chen Fei was silently studying, the panel changed again.

[Technique: Pole Mountain Breathing Technique (Perfection 1/10,000)]

[Realm: Martial Man (2/100)]

The warmth in the middle of his body seemed to have become a little more pronounced, and the realm had risen by one point, while Chen Fei’s stomach began to rumble. The body was slowly getting stronger, so naturally, it had to start consuming energy.

The medical center only provided two meals on weekdays, fish and meat were definitely not to be thought of, but there was still no problem in eating enough, the medical center did not withhold on this point.

Chen Fei purposely ate a lot more, but in the middle of the night, Chen Fei was still woken up by hunger. Looking at the panel, the breathing method was still in the state of perfection, but the progress was already a small few thousand, so it was estimated that he would be able to rush through the perfection tomorrow.

It’s just that I don’t know if there are any other realms after the consummation.

Meanwhile on the cultivation level, it had also risen by a few points. According to the estimation, perhaps it wouldn’t take twenty days for Chen Fei to reach the Skin Training Realm and become a true martial artist.

At that time, whether it was to remain in the medical center or go to the Extreme Mountain Fist School, Chen Fei would have the leverage to choose.

With a full stomach during the day, Chen Fei worked with full energy. Not only was it because his body had gotten stronger, allowing Chen Fei to have better stamina, but also because life finally had some hope.

Every breath brought strength, how wonderful. At the same time, looking at the numbers on the panel that jumped from time to time, there was also a great sense of accomplishment.

It wasn’t even noon yet, and the Extreme Mountain Breathing Method had risen to the top.

[Technique: Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique (Great Perfection)]

There was no more room for it to continue rising, and the various epiphanies about the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique circled around in Chen Fei’s mind. Cultivating to this level, Chen Fei had nearly reached the realm of the person who created this gong method back then.

In the Polar Mountain Fist School, I am afraid that no one had practiced this breathing technique to its fullest extent.

After all, it was only an introductory breathing technique, and there was absolutely no need to die hard. Chen Fei didn’t die hard either, it was just so natural to cultivate it to the top.

The feeling given to Chen Fei by the breathing method at the grand completion level became more and more obvious, and the display on the panel also proved Chen Fei’s guess. Originally, it might have taken twenty days to reach the Skin Cultivation Realm, but now it was estimated that ten days would be completely sufficient, which was twice as fast in terms of time.

Chen Fei’s food intake began to gradually rise, but he wasn’t chastised, and was even praised by one of the stewards by name two days ago.

Compared to the other deadbeat handymen, Chen Fei’s mindset was clearly positive lately. The difference in his vitality made that steward quite satisfied, and in disguise, he sort of paid attention to Chen Fei as a person.

The other handymen were envious and became much closer to Chen Fei. Only Sha Daxin in the corner looked at Chen Fei grimly.
