Chapter 4: Passage

Chapter 4 Passing Through the Gates
The city gates of Pingyin County had already been closed, and it was definitely impossible to enter the city at this time. Luckily, there are some merchants from outside the city at the moment, because they are unable to enter the city, they are camping and resting at the moment.

Chen Fei rubbed a fire, listening to the lowered voices around him, Chen Fei’s nervousness slowly relaxed.

Today’s events were a bit much, if not for his strength breakthrough, Chen Fei would have been lying upright on Pingyin Mountain at this moment.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei couldn’t help but look at his panel.

[Name: Chen Fei]

[Profession: Martial Artist]

[Technique: Polar Mountain Fist (Proficient 307/1000), Polar Mountain Breathing Technique (Great Perfection)]

[Realm: Skin Training (2/1000)]]

The Polar Mountain Fist had already reached the level of proficiency, and at this moment, some of the epiphanies regarding the fist technique were still reverberating in Chen Fei’s mind. One could only say that this simplification function was really powerful.

“The progress of the Skin Practicing Realm, surprisingly, has not changed.”

Chen Fei couldn’t help but frown slightly when he saw his cultivation realm. Originally, before he had made a breakthrough, a perfected Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique could grant a cultivation increase of around 10 points. And since half a day had passed since Chen Fei’s breakthrough, it was surprising that it had only risen by 1 point.

“The cultivation realm has risen, and the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique is already somewhat unable to keep up?”

Chen Fei’s mind couldn’t help but pop up this thought, and after a little thought, he estimated that it was really possible. After all, this breathing method was really very basic. Basic enough that the Extreme Mountain Fist Gym could teach it to the students of the gym without any hindrance.

If it really was some kind of brilliant breathing technique, it wouldn’t be something that could be exchanged for that little tuition fee.

“After observing for a few days, we will be able to know how much cultivation can be raised by the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique.”

Chen Fei averted his gaze and didn’t sleep, he had just bumped into shenanigans, at this moment, even if he had already arrived at the foot of Pingyin County, Chen Fei didn’t dare to sleep. Chen Fei didn’t waste any time, sitting by the campfire, gently swinging his hands.

A trace of the sense of the Polar Mountain Fist slowly appeared in Chen Fei’s mind as he swung his hands. This feeling of reward for effort made Chen Fei involuntarily immerse himself.

The surrounding people looked at Chen Fei somewhat oddly, completely unable to figure out what this youngster was doing by waving his hands there all the time, having an attack?
Thinking of this, some people could not help but slightly move away from Chen Fei.

When one was immersed in something, time always passed extremely fast. It seemed that in just the blink of an eye, the sky was already slightly bright, and the city gates of Pingyin County were opened.

Chen Fei entered Pingyin County along with the crowd, and then immediately rushed to Qingzheng Medical Center.

“So, you were the only one who survived last night, and all the others died?” Cui Sanjie looked at Chen Fei with a somewhat ugly expression.

Although the handymen were not worth much, they were after all assets of the medical center. Now that a dozen or so had died, the key was that the herbs had yet to be harvested, which made it extremely troublesome for the medical center.

Afterwards, if the master’s family is blamed, I’m afraid that he will have to take some responsibility.

“The life and death of the others, I don’t know, but last night at the city gates, I really didn’t see anyone else again.” Chen Fei said in a low voice.

“Everyone else is dead, why are you allowed to live.” A hoarse voice rang out, with reproach in his words.

Chen Fei looked up, it was Pu Liao, the guard within the medical center, Chen Fei arched his hand and said, “I broke through to the Skin Training Realm and thus dodged this fate.”

As Chen Fei said, he threw a punch, and a dull sound was emitted in the air.

The surrounding few people’s expressions moved slightly, this fist strength, an ordinary person would never be able to hit it. The only thing they were a little surprised about was that amongst the handymen, there was someone who had raised their martial arts cultivation to the Skin Training Realm.

Although the Skin Training Realm was not worth mentioning, after all, it had already surpassed ordinary people, and without a certain amount of talent in martial arts, it was really impossible to reach it.

And with the Skin Training Realm, being careful, one could indeed dodge some shenanigans. “Not bad.”

Cui San received a nod, his expression slightly slowed down, the appearance of the Skin Training Realm among the handymen slightly offset the loss of the handymen. After all, the handymen could continue to recruit, the skin practicing realm martial artists, it was much more difficult to recruit, the two had different values.

“I will report this matter to the main family, as for you, in the future, you will be a guard in the medical center.”

Cui Sanjian said, turning his head to look at Pu Liao, saying, “After breaking away from the status of a handyman, you are also qualified to access some of the legacies of our Qingzheng Medical Center. Pu Liao, you will teach him a few of our Qingzheng’s breathing methods and strokes.”

“Good!” Pu Liao nodded and glanced at Chen Fei without another word.

Chen Fei’s face couldn’t help but reveal a smile, before he came back, Chen Fei had considered whether to continue staying at the Qingzheng Medical Center or go to the Extreme Mountain Boxing Center.

Having reached the Skin Practicing Realm, Chen Fei already had the right to choose.

The only thing to consider was the pros and cons of both.

Staying in the Qingzheng Medical Center, the legacy of the Medical Center was already partially accessible, and although it was certainly not profound, it was better than the Polar Mountain Breathing Technique and these.

But staying in the Qingzheng Medical Center, one would still be an inferior in status, and one’s freedom would be somewhat restricted.

Going to the Pole Mountain Boxing Hall was free enough, and that side was equivalent to a half-school relationship, and the inheritance shouldn’t be too bad compared to the medical center. But leaving the medical center, Chen Fei would have to pay a hefty termination fee.

Chen Fei was close to four months to reach the Skin Training Realm, this kind of talent was only a mediocre existence in the Pole Mountain Boxing Hall. The Extreme Mountain Fist Hall would not pay this termination fee for Chen Fei, and Chen Fei himself did not have the money.

The main reason for Chen Fei’s decision to stay in the medical center was that within the medical center, he could learn a certain amount of medical techniques and alchemy, which was something Chen Fei valued even more.

After Cui Sanjie and the others asked Chen Fei a few more questions, they left one after another.

“I don’t have much free time lately, you can come back to me in a few days, I’ll teach you gongfu then.”

Pu Liao walked up to Chen Fei and said flatly, then turned around and left.

When everyone left, Chen Fei let out a slight sigh of relief, this hurdle was considered to be over. If he didn’t have the cultivation of the Skin Practicing Realm, he wouldn’t be able to escape from some chastisement and insults at this moment.

Because there was some value, all of this was dispensed with.

The medical center arranged a separate room for Chen Fei, although it was still very small, but compared to the original treatment, it was already a world of difference. Chen Fei was quite satisfied because this way, when practicing, he didn’t have to worry about leaking anything.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In addition to standing guard in the lobby of the medical center to prevent people from causing trouble, Chen Fei spent most of his time hiding in the house to cultivate.

Three days was not long, but it was already enough for Chen Fei to cultivate the Extreme Mountain Fist to the level of Grand Completion.

With the Skin Training Realm cultivation combined with the Great Perfection of the Extreme Mountain Fist, Chen Fei’s combat power nowadays had increased by more than half compared to before. Even in the Skin Practicing Realm, Chen Fei’s strength today wasn’t even bad.

After all, not all of the Skin Training Realm were able to cultivate the Basic Fist Technique to the Grand Completion level.

The only thing that made Chen Fei somewhat dissatisfied was the growth in cultivation. In three days, the experience value of the Skin Practicing Realm had only increased by 3 points.

With 1 point a day and a 1000 point experience bar for the Skin Practicing Realm, if he only relied on the Pole Mountain Breathing Technique, Chen Fei would need three years to advance to the next realm.
