Chapter 115: Breaking the Bone Barrier!

"Sturgeon monster!"

Hearing what Master Yang said, everyone wished they could go to the small lake right now, drain the water, force the sturgeon monster out, and turn it into teppanyaki on the spot.

No other reason; the sturgeon is unique, and the benefits are too great.

Liang Qu's heart was also burning.

Ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand.

What's the use of keeping a high-level dungeon? It's real to make that sturgeon monster explode with gold coins as soon as possible.

After eating that monster, maybe he could become a true martial artist in the first half of this year, no longer just an honorific title in others' mouths.

Furthermore, the River Patrol Office was coming soon. A tiny Second-Stage martial artist serving as a From-Eighth-Rank River Earl, speaking of which, is not justified and difficult to suppress subordinates.

Even if his strength is enough to rival a Fourth-Stage martial artist, outsiders won't think so.

The surface of the Jianghuai Lake was shrouded in water mist brought by the drizzle.

The awning boat rested on the water, swaying gently with the waves. The bow was soaked by the rain, revealing clear wood grain.

Liang Qu leaped out of the water, grabbed the jumping treasure fish into the boat with water splashes, pulled out the Green Wolf, skillfully peeled the scales and removed the bones, cut the fish meat into slices, and put them into the pot.

Having been a fisherman for so long, his skill in killing fish was superb; the entire process of butchering the fish didn't even take twenty breaths.

The Sky-Water Centipede A-Wei sucked the fish blood, and the Fist-Sized Crab sucked the fish intestines at the bow.

The Fat Catfish and the Cannot-Move on the side both opened their mouths, and Liang Qu casually threw the fish bones and some internal organs into their mouths.

With the huge size of the two beasts, this little bit wasn't enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, but they still ate with relish.

The fish slices tumbled in the boiling water. Liang Qu scooped them into a bowl with chopsticks, and after they cooled, he ate them in large mouthfuls like devouring rice.

After the Fat Catfish and Cannot-Move evolved, the efficiency of catching treasure fish became higher. He no longer needed to take action himself; after catching them, he threw them into the stone cave, and Cannot-Move blocked the entrance, so the treasure fish had nowhere to hide and could only spin in the stone cave.

The treasure fish in front of him was caught yesterday and butchered today.

When the water is full, it overflows. It had been the third day since the martial arts gym competition. After eating the treasure fish, it was time to break the barrier in one go!

Liang Qu returned to the giant rock and sat cross-legged.

Blue light flashed on the top of the stone cave, silent. The fish meat in his stomach was ground into paste, and pure flesh and blood energy continuously moistened his whole body.

Under the guidance of the "Qi Circulation Inscription," it continuously circulated, grew, and was endless. At the moment it reached its peak, it followed the guidance and merged into his whole body's bones.

His whole body's blood Qi became more and more full, circulating indefinitely, like dewdrops accumulated to the extreme; the next moment, it was about to break the tension and pour out.

Blood Qi like a furnace, heart beating like a big drum.

Rolling white Qi sprayed from his nose and mouth. In the airtight stone cave, it was like a thin mist rising in the early autumn morning, gradually covering Liang Qu's figure.

Between one breath and one inhalation, the mist stirred in the wind, turning into long dragons.

When the blood Qi was merged into the bones for the third time, subtle changes occurred rapidly in the whole body's bones like a chain reaction.

At first, it was a faint warmth, followed by becoming hot and itchy, as if liquid was flowing, and it became more and more obvious, from a trickling stream to a great river!

Hot!

Itchy!

Liang Qu's whole body was crimson, and there was a faint sound of sea tides in his body, and his body temperature rose rapidly.

He wished he could tear open his flesh and scratch it, but he forcibly endured it.

Because it felt so good!

It was like drinking a mouthful of boiling thick soup, scalding a thin layer of skin off his mouth and tongue, burning with pain, yet he could still perceive the unparalleled deliciousness in the soup!

From his skull to his toes, every bone was stretching and relaxing!

Polished continuously in the scouring of the sea tide, it became more and more crystal clear!

Liang Qu's whole body's bones made crisp sounds one after another. After a series of dense explosions, not only inside the bones, but even the outside began to soften!

The successive changes made Liang Qu pant, his arms soft and weak as if dislocated, and even his spine couldn't support his body weight, and he fell backward involuntarily.

His whole person was about to spread out like liquid, and was caught in a basic shape by the pull of his skin.

A quarter of an hour later, his whole body's bones returned to normal.

Liang Qu was exhausted and covered in sweat. He took a deep breath, supported the stone table, and stood up gently, as if no effort was needed.

His body became heavier and lighter.

Becoming heavier was the increase in overall mass, while becoming lighter was the further strengthening of power, making him more agile when walking.

The entire bone structure was more like cast copper and iron; rubbing hard seemed to spark, and with every gesture, he could release power more wantonly.

Done!

Liang Qu clenched his fists, his expression excited.

Bones, the most important basic support structure of the human body; once the basic structure is improved, it is a big leap in overall performance!

Based on the tiger bones, the strengthening is even more so.

Muscles don't need to worry about whether the bones can withstand the power they release, significantly raising the power threshold.

It's like a chip that doesn't need to worry about heat dissipation at all, which can achieve several times the power increase!

Going to the River Patrol Office to report in two days, he has some confidence. Although he still falls short, at least it's not as shabby as the Second Stage.

The first, second, and third ranks can be counted as the center of power, which ordinary people never see in their lifetime.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth are people who are touching the circle from the outside, and to a certain extent, they can be indifferent to the world.

The seventh, eighth, and ninth are grassroots management, especially the seventh rank, which is already the ceiling that individuals can reach through their own efforts without background.

Regular Seventh-Rank County Magistrate, Regular Eighth-Rank County Assistant, Regular Ninth-Rank Registrar, this is the range where most people spin around.

Even for a From-Eighth-Rank, that's not something a First or Second-Stage martial artist can hold; basically, they all need to be Fourth-Stage, and adding a "Regular" rank requires a Galloping Horse martial artist.

Liang Qu is not yet twenty, from a fisherman to a From-Eighth-Rank, which is already quite difficult. When the Pingyang County local gazetteer is revised, they will specifically send people to record it, a young hero who will write a lot about it!

Since the barrier is broken, it's time to tell Master; he wants to eat fish...

Liang Qu stood at the bow, his clothes fluttering. He manipulated the water flow to push the awning boat forward quickly, completely treating this five-meter small boat as a large surfboard.

With Liang Qu's stamina, he didn't need to use an oar to row; he just controlled the water directly, which was much faster than normal rowing.

Approaching the pier, he could faintly see fishing boats appearing. Liang Qu picked up the long oar to pretend, tied the boat rope at the pier, looked around, and a sense of heroism surged in his heart.

Pingyang Town originally only had one pier, but now one pier wasn't enough. Not only was the original one being expanded, but there were plans to build three more nearby. The place was much larger, and large merchant ships could dock.

Various tea shops were opened around the pier, filled with boatmen.

Liang Qu walked on the street, seeing many novel things he had never seen before, even cat food and wigs for sale, and the street became more and more crowded.

Many large shops, large restaurants, and escort agencies rushed to hear the news and opened branches, and the buildings were built higher and higher.

No profit, no early rising. These people came faster than imperial officials, especially knowing that Pingyang County had the potential to become a prefecture, they rushed over to invest early. Land prices had doubled several times. Many residents were moved and sold their houses, making a big profit before moving to nearby small villages and towns.

"It's really getting more and more prosperous."

Passing through the street, Liang Qu notified Hu Qi and Xiang Zhangsong, then returned to his room to change into a set of equipment, carrying the Fubo on his shoulder and the Green Wolf at his waist.

"Junior Martial Brother has broken through again."

Liang Qu had just broken through the realm, and his blood Qi hadn't completely restrained. Hu Qi sensed it and understood immediately, inevitably feeling emotional.

Liang Qu's realm speed was really fast. He estimated that by the time he broke through to Galloping Horse, the junior martial brother would be exchanging blood?

Compared to Hu Qi, Xiang Zhangsong's sense of urgency was even greater. Looking at it this way, it's not certain who among him and Little Nine will enter the Galloping Horse realm first? ===== CHAPTER 116 =====
