“Big brothers!”
“You can hit me, but there’s one thing: whatever you do, don’t hit my face.”
“Because I make my living off my looks!”
Jiang Wangzu lay on the ground, clutching his head and curling into a ball.
“Hahaha!”
“Brother Dao, this kid is all flash and no substance—good-looking but useless!”
“And he said not to hit his face! I’m dying!”
“How boring. He won’t even fight back. He’s worse than a woman!”
“Hit him more gently. This kid looks delicate and tender—don’t beat him to death.”
“...”
If this group had come to kill him today, Jiang Wangzu would have had to fight back, even at the risk of exposing his strength.
But since they only wanted to beat him up, it didn’t matter.
After all, he had the Iron Garment Technique. He could become stronger by taking hits!
He had been wondering what excuse he could use to get someone to beat him.
And now the opportunity had arrived!
“What the hell, did you guys skip dinner?”
“Hit harder!”
As the sticks, fists, and filthy feet landed on Jiang Wangzu’s body, he silently circulated the Iron Garment Technique.
Wave after wave of warmth appeared, flowing through his Limbs and every part of his body as it tempered his Sinews, Bones, Flesh, and Blood and Internal Organs.
A tingling warmth spread through his body, and his strength continued to grow.
However, as time passed, he clearly felt the number of fists and sticks landing on him decrease, and he could not help but curse loudly.
“What the hell!”
“Brothers, get him!”
The dozen or so Ruffians from the Blue Society grew furious and rained blows on Jiang Wangzu again.
After they beat Jiang Wangzu for a while longer, they decided they had done enough.
It was time to finish up and leave.
But then Jiang Wangzu’s shameless voice rang out again:
“Are you scratching me?”
“It doesn’t hurt!”
“It doesn’t hurt at all!”
“Did you spend all your strength on women’s bellies?”
“Are you all this weak?”
Jiang Wangzu felt warm all over. He felt no pain; instead, his physical strength kept growing.
If a progress bar had appeared before him, he would have seen the proficiency of 《Iron Garment Technique》shooting upward!
The Rapid Cultivation Method is the invincible path. Why take the path of the Evil cultivator?
But the evil cultivator’s path was damn irresistible!
Heh heh heh!
Jiang Wangzu laughed.
The dozen or so Ruffians from the Blue Society’s Xinglong Street looked at one another in confusion.
They wondered whether they had beaten Chen Tai’s Mastermind senseless.
“Hit him again!”
“This kid’s mouth is too foul!”
“I’m going to beat him into kidney deficiency!”
“...”
The dozen or so Ruffians from the Blue Society’s Xinglong Street resumed pummeling Jiang Wangzu.
Jiang Wangzu once again experienced the Heretical Cultivation Method of practicing the Iron Garment Technique!
Whenever the dozen or so Ruffians from the Blue Society’s Xinglong Street slowed their assault, Jiang Wangzu’s shameless voice rang out.
They would then resume pummeling Jiang Wangzu with all their strength.
After some time, they would slow down again.
And once again, they would be met with Jiang Wangzu’s stream of curses and foul language.
“I can’t go on!”
“Brother Dao, I can’t go on!”
“I’m exhausted.”
“I think this kid is only good at running his mouth. He must be in excruciating pain.”
“Yeah, yeah. If we hit even an iron man like this, we’d probably reduce him to scrap metal.”
“If we keep this up, he’ll die!”
“...”
After beating Jiang Wangzu for two hours, the dozen or so Ruffians from the Blue Society’s Xinglong Street spoke between gasps.
Jiang Wangzu continued spouting curses and foul language, but Scarface also decided they had done enough.
Jiang Wangzu probably felt no pain because the beating had paralyzed him and robbed him of all sensation.
They had vented the anger of Xinglong Street.
“Let’s go!”
At Scarface’s command, the dozen or so Ruffians from the Blue Society’s Xinglong Street breathed a sigh of relief.
It was the first time they had realized that beating someone could be this exhausting.
“Why did you stop?”
“Where is everyone?”
“All of you, come back!”
“A bunch of ball-less mongrels!”
“If you’re my brothers, come back and hit me!”
“Come on, hit me! Hit me!”
“Hey, hey, hey!”
“They left?”
Jiang Wangzu climbed to his feet with an unsatisfied look.
Only to discover that his clothes had been beaten to shreds.
But aside from a few faint red marks, there was nothing else on his body.
The Iron Garment Technique lived up to its reputation!
“What a pity. If they had kept going a little longer, my Iron Garment Technique might have reached Minor Accomplishment!”
Jiang Wangzu brushed the dust from his body in regret, then walked to his residence.
Another three days passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Jiang Wangzu went to Chen Liu Jia’s residence as usual.
Han Qiao had already been waiting for him at the martial training ground.
“Circulate the Iron Garment Technique while sparring with me!”
“Now, attack me!”
As usual, Jiang Wangzu attacked first and exchanged blows with Han Qiao.
This time, Han Qiao attacked, striking Jiang Wangzu’s body repeatedly with moderate force.
She was tempering Jiang Wangzu’s physique while Chen Liu Jia prepared the ingredients for his Medicinal Bath.
After the two exchanged blows for about an hour, a wave of warmth suddenly erupted inside Jiang Wangzu’s body and flowed through his limbs and every bone.
The muscles on his body bulged high, while a grayish-white aura circulated across the surface of his skin.
Han Qiao slapped Jiang Wangzu’s chest, but a current of qi knocked her back.
“The Iron Garment Technique—minor accomplishment?”
Watching the changes in Jiang Wangzu’s body, Han Qiao’s usually calm face displayed shock for the first time.
Jiang Wangzu had obtained the Iron Garment Technique only three days earlier. He had not only mastered this Body-Tempering Technique but also broken through to the Minor Achievement Level with her help.
Although Chen Liu Jia had modified the Iron Garment Technique,
lowering its difficulty and making it more compatible with Jiang Wangzu,
Only three days had passed. No matter how compatible the technique was, that was not enough to cultivate a Third-Rate Body-Tempering Technique to Minor Accomplishment!
Jiang Wangzu was not some peerless genius born with a martial dao physique.
Nor was he a Martial Arts Expert who could use a profound understanding of Martial Dao to cultivate low-level techniques and manuals, advancing a thousand miles in a single day.
He was only a Minor Martial Artist at the Minor Achievement Level of Strength Training!
“The Iron Garment Technique has reached Minor Accomplishment!”
“Sister A Qiao, thank you!”
Feeling the changes within himself, Jiang Wangzu could not help nodding in satisfaction.
His physical strength was now far greater, and his power was surging.
With his current strength, he was probably no weaker than an ordinary Martial Artist who had achieved Great Achievement in Strength Training!
“You reached Minor Accomplishment in the Iron Garment Technique in three days. How did you do it?”
Han Qiao asked, curious.
“I’m not sure. I cultivated as usual.”
Jiang Wangzu deliberately put on an expression that suggested he knew nothing.
However, he truly should thank Han Qiao.
Her rhythmic strikes helped temper his physique far more efficiently than passively taking hits.
He could not reveal the Rapid Cultivation Method.
“Master!”
Han Qiao called out in a powerful voice.
