Chapter 44

Lin Qi's five fingers spread out, with the index and middle fingers working together with the thumb to form a mouth-like shape—the Crane Beak.

"Bang bang!!"

The next moment, Lin Qi's body moved, and his momentum changed from the previous mighty and majestic to swift and elegant.

The Crane Form Fist emphasizes waiting for an attack while defending, with a lively body, rapid binding and extending, entering the forest like a shuttle, climbing branches even more skillfully, rising and falling with precision, using the shoulders to strike, avoiding the solid and attacking the weak...

Its move names are also quite simple: Crane Beak, Crane Crown, Crane Claw, Crane Beak, Hungry Crane Searching for Shrimp, Single-Legged Crane...

There are eight moves in total, with movements that are soft yet firm.

Lin Qi recalled the key points of the Crane Form Fist while practicing; this was a fist technique completely different from the Tiger Form Fist.

The different movements caused his body's force exertion and muscle movement patterns to change.

His movements gradually changed from unfamiliar to proficient, and at the same time, his body heated up, his Qi and blood surged, and the trajectory of his Qi and blood flow began to change.

A burst of numbness came from the subtle parts of his limbs and torso muscles.

Lin Qi's eyes lit up; this was a feeling completely different from the Tiger Form Fist.

Thus, he practiced even more vigorously, over and over again, repeating it I don't know how many times, starting from unfamiliar and becoming proficient.

Sweat fell like rain, his martial arts uniform clung to his body, and Lin Qi was flushed, feeling only that it was satisfying.

【Through practicing the Crane Form Fist, your proficiency in the Crane Form Fist has greatly improved, Fist Technique +1%】

【Through practicing the Crane Form Fist, your Qi and blood value has broken through, Qi and blood value +0.05】

【Qi and blood value: 8.25→8.3】

【Fist Technique: Stage Two 11%→12%】

……

Lin Qi stopped, panting heavily, his eyes becoming sharper.

"Teacher Zhang was indeed right. After a long time, I practiced the Crane Form Fist again, and the progress is huge."

Thinking this way, a sudden feeling of weakness and fatigue surged into his heart, surprising him.

Why is the consumption so great? How many times have I practiced this?

Immediately, he went to his locker, took out a bottle of Qi and blood potion, and drank it, only then feeling much more comfortable.

And Zhang Cheng in the distance was in a complex mood; he watched Lin Qi start practicing the Crane Form Fist, which was quite awkward.

After he guided a few people and came back to look, Lin Qi was already able to perform it extremely proficiently, not like someone who had just practiced it, and he was not far from the Great Completion of the Crane Form Fist.

"It seems this kid's comprehension is even stronger than I imagined."

Zhang Cheng had not deeply understood Li Zhou, Yu Jing, and Qi Qi Yue Lin.

But he believed that Lin Qi was no worse than them; what was lacking was only resources, and he would catch up sooner or later.

Thinking that this was a student he had taught who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Zhou, Zhang Cheng felt a sense of accomplishment, and he couldn't stop feeling excited.

……

Noon, Chaqiong Martial Arts Supermarket.

In the crowd, Lin Qi and Jiang Tao stood in front of a row of shelves, where tubes of neatly arranged red potions attracted their attention.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, after Qi and blood value breaks through 8.0 and 9.0, every step is a hurdle."

"If you continue to use Qi and blood capsules or Qi and blood potions, the efficiency of improvement will decrease," Jiang Tao said slowly.

Lin Qi nodded; he had already felt it, and wanting to improve by another 2.0 in a month was almost impossible.

"Li Zhou and the others already started using better potion resources when their Qi and blood value was 8.0."

"Now we have money, and in the future, when we sign with a martial arts mansion, we will also get a large sum of money. If we don't want to fall behind others, we must also use better resources."

After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he took a tube of potion from the shelf; the liquid inside was deep red, deep and bright.

"This is an Energy Potion, an advanced version of the Qi and blood potion, nicknamed the High-Grade Qi and blood potion."

"It is also 100 milliliters, and the effect is several times that of the Qi and blood potion; it is exactly what we need."

Lin Qi nodded; the color of the Qi and blood potion was light red, while the Energy Potion was deep red; one could feel it just by looking at the color.

Looking at the price again, 5,000 Xia Guo coins per bottle.

The price was 10 times that of the Qi and blood potion, Lin Qi sighed secretly.

This price was really expensive; it was enough for his previous two months of food expenses.

Jiang Tao put rows of Energy Potions into the shopping basket, and Lin Qi did the same.

He had more than 500,000 on him, and plus the future genius loan, he could also buy more resources.

Thinking of this, he took three large rows in one breath, which was 30 bottles of Energy Potion.

Besides that, he also bought some Qi and blood potions and Qi and blood capsules for emergencies.

"Beep!"

"Totaling 183,200 Xia Guo coins!"

"Payment successful!"

"Welcome again next time!"

At the checkout, Lin Qi put the potions into his backpack and felt a bit of heartache looking at the balance that was almost half gone.

Looking at Jiang Tao again, he spent even more, besides what was for himself, there was also what was for his younger sister.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge!" Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded beside Lin Qi, and he turned his head to look.

Not far away, a beautiful girl appeared in his sight, calling his name.

She was not tall, only about 1.5 meters, with a thin figure, fair skin, and a pure appearance.

She wore a ponytail, had a smile on her face, and carried a unique resilient temperament.

The breeze blew her hair, the sunlight shone on her, and after seeing Lin Qi, she revealed a happy smile.

"Miaoyin, why are you here?"

Lin Qi greeted her with a smile and reached out to touch the other person's head, which had black, soft, and smooth hair.

This girl was Jiang Tao's younger sister—Jiang Miaoyin.

Jiang Miaoyin did not refuse, her small face slightly red.

"A-Miao, you're here!"

!

Jiang Tao also came over carrying things at this time, and seeing Jiang Miaoyin's head being touched, he also reached out wanting to touch it.

"Slap!"

Jiang Miaoyin mercilessly slapped Jiang Tao's palm away.

"A-Miao, I am your own brother, is it not even okay to touch your head?"

"Of course not!" Jiang Miaoyin's momentum changed in a second, and she pouted her small mouth and tilted her head.

After the two played around for a while, Jiang Tao said:

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, today is Sunday, there are no classes in the afternoon, I'm taking A-Miao to the hospital for some recuperation."

Lin Qi nodded, looking at Jiang Miaoyin, who was only about 1.5 meters tall.

In the Martial Path Era, women who practice martial arts generally exceed 1.7 meters after adulthood, while men are about 1.9 meters.

And Jiang Miaoyin is 16 years old this year, and will be 17 in a few months.

This is severe malnutrition, requiring a large amount of supplements to make up for it.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, goodbye!"

"Miaoyin, see you next time!"

Jiang Miaoyin gave Lin Qi a sweet smile, waved goodbye, and watched Lin Qi's figure disappear before her eyes.

"Don't look, your Lin Lin Qi Ge has already left," Jiang Tao said sourly from the side.

"Let's go, we're going to the hospital; I want to become stronger, and then teach that group of people in the class a lesson, making them call me a little potato."

Jiang Miaoyin clenched her fists and said fiercely.

"That's right, with your brother here, you will definitely become the strongest girl in your grade!" Jiang Tao nodded fiercely.

……

Lin Qi also went home and had a meal with his mother Fang Huiyi.

Then, after resting for a while, he chose to return to school.

In the third year of high school, there is a half-day holiday every Sunday afternoon, and at this time, the whole school is empty.

Lin Qi returned to his martial arts room, changed into his martial arts uniform, and prepared to start practicing.

He took out a tube of Energy Potion from his backpack; the liquid emitted a deep red, just like human blood.

He opened the bottle cap, a faint fragrance was emitted, and he drank it in one gulp.

"Hoo~"

Lin Qi took a deep breath; a few seconds later, his stomach heated up, getting hotter and hotter.

Streams of heat flowed from his stomach toward every part of his body in all directions.

"This Energy Potion really has a kick!"

Lin Qi's eyes lit up, and he began to practice fist techniques.

Starting from the Tiger Form Fist, he practiced it several times, then switched to the Crane Form Fist.

The heat flowed through his arm muscles, flowing toward even more subtle places.

"Bang bang!!"

In the state of his whole body heating up, Lin Qi only wanted to vent the energy of his whole body by practicing fist techniques.

He only felt full of energy, his whole body's muscles were fully tempered, and even by practicing the Crane Form Fist, many subtle parts of his arm muscles were tempered.

"This is the feeling; within a month, maintaining this speed, my Qi and blood value will definitely be able to hit 9.0," Lin Qi's expression was excited.

【You practiced the Crane Form Fist, proficiency improved】

【You practiced the Crane Form Fist, Qi and blood value +0.01】

【You practiced the Crane Form Fist, Qi and blood value +0.01】

【……】
