Chapter 8: Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall (Seeking follow-up reads)

"Beep!"

Lin Qi scanned the items in his hand one by one against the checkout machine.

"A total payment of 2525 Xia Guo Yuan!"

Lin Qi put the things into his backpack and walked out of the Cangqiong Martial Arts Supermarket with heartache.

The remaining three thousand yuan was used up until less than 500 was left, and this was all his food money.

"These Qi and Blood capsules and Qi and Blood potions are enough for me to fight for it."

"And Taozi, I hope he can find a reliable part-time job."

Lin Qi thought.

Evening, martial arts classroom.

After the evening self-study ended, many students would continue to practice martial arts, starting the third training session of the day.

Morning, noon, and evening, three training sessions a day.

Lin Qi, wearing a martial arts uniform, took out the Qi and Blood capsules he bought in the afternoon from his backpack, squeezed out one and swallowed it, then paired it with a Qi and Blood potion.

The taste was average.

"Whoosh~"

After a short while, the Qi and Blood capsules and Qi and Blood potions took effect at the same time, and Lin Qi felt his body begin to heat up, and his stomach began to burn like a furnace.

"Start training!"

One hour later.

"Boom, boom!!"

The two-meter-tall thick fist stake kept rotating, and two tiger claws kept slapping, the powerful force making it keep making vibrating sounds.

Lin Qi swung his sharp claws, his legs rooted to the ground, steady as a rock, both claws hooked into claws, his whole body flushed red, sweating profusely.

Qi and Blood spread to all parts of his body, fist techniques swung and hit the fist stake, his expression serious.

The fist stake was covered with a layer of special material, which could absorb force and reduce damage.

Feeling the transmission of force, Lin Qi frantically performed fist techniques, while carefully observing the changes in the fist stake and the direction of force transfer.

Driven by the waist, muscles exploded suddenly under the stimulation of Qi and Blood, force penetrating the fingertips.

"Boom, boom!"

The collision between the tiger claws and the fist stake, the force transmitted to the body through the arms, kept vibrating.

Qi and Blood roamed the body, quickly tempering body muscles under the vibration.

Lin Qi's brain was running frantically, and the key points of the Tiger Form Fist flashed quickly.

【In the intense exercise, your Qi and Blood value has improved significantly, Qi and Blood value +0.02!】

【You have a new realization of the Tiger Form Fist, Fist Technique +0.1%】

"..."

Reminders kept popping up on the panel, and his Qi and Blood value and Tiger Form Fist had different degrees of improvement.

【Name: Lin Qi (17)】

【Template: Erlang Shen · Yang Jian (Fusion Degree 1%)】

【Qi and Blood Value: 5.63→5.69】

【Fist Technique: Stage One 85%→85.3%】

【...】

"Whoosh~"

Lin Qi retracted his fists, exhaled, and felt the strands of heat in his body turning into endless power.

"As expected of Qi and Blood potions, the effect is good. Taking them before training increases efficiency, and my Qi and Blood value improves particularly fast."

"Plus enough Qi and Blood capsules, my Qi and Blood value can definitely break through 6.0 before the test!"

Lin Qi felt that the future was promising.

September 3rd, evening, the weather was not as hot as during the day, but it was still sultry.

Lin Qi and Jiang Tao stood side by side at the entrance of the huge building, brightly lit under the night sky by white lights.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, we are lucky, yesterday I found a well-paid part-time job."

"Being a sparring partner, 1000 Xia Guo Yuan per hour."

Jiang Tao explained on the side, and Lin Qi was shocked after hearing this; this price was not bad.

"Being able to set the location here, it seems it's not a scam." Lin Qi nodded.

It was the scorching heat of August, and the short-sleeved shirt soaked in sweat clung to his skin, emitting bursts of sweat odor.

The transparent glass door opened, and a cold wind rushed towards his sultry body, dispelling the heat.

Refreshing, his whole person felt spirited.

On the wall of the huge building, a huge red flame logo was pasted, with five characters embedded below:

"Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall!"

"Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall, affiliated with the Cangqiong Group, was founded 30 years ago by the world's strongest person, and also the first Ninth Realm title martial artist—Red Emperor."

"Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall is also one of the strongest martial arts halls in Xia Guo."

"It has branches in every city, and those who can come in and consume inside are rich or expensive."

Listening to his best friend's words, Lin Qi looked up at the huge martial arts hall that was clean, bright, and filled with a technological style; he felt incredibly small in front of it.

In front was the Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall, a top-level martial arts hall in the country, with no advertisements at the entrance, only a simple introduction, and it was not short of customers at all.

Because its name was the signboard.

He exhaled, trying to calm himself down. "Let's go in!"

Lin Qi opened his mouth and said.

At the front desk in the lobby, sat two women wearing black slim-fitting uniforms, with pretty faces and clean temperaments.

One of the front desk staff soon saw two figures entering.

These were two boys, sturdy, with eyes full of spirit.

They exuded the youthful energy unique to students.

However, their handsome looks still made her beautiful eyes light up.

Especially one of them, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, with three-dimensional and distinct facial features, even a simple crew cut couldn't hide his handsomeness.

After entering, his posture was generous and natural, and his expression was indifferent.

This made her eyes light up, and she couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Ordinary people who come to the Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall for the first time will have stiff bodies and unnatural expressions.

!

She had been the same once.

But this person was different.

It didn't match his ordinary outfit at all.

Seeing the two come over, she revealed a professional smile and said:

"Hello, two students, is there anything I can help you with?"

When Jiang Tao entered, feeling the luxury around him, and then looking at his own clothes, a sense of inferiority suddenly arose in his heart.

But looking at Lin Qi, who had a natural expression beside him, he admired him in his heart:

As expected of Lin Lin Qi Ge, since childhood, no matter what kind of scene he faced, he never changed his expression.

Influenced by Lin Qi, he also puffed out his chest, as if he had gained confidence:

"Hello, we have an appointment for Guo Heng's sparring in room a-128, may I ask how to get to room a-128?"

"Room a-128 is on the first floor..."

The front desk lady moved her hands on the front desk, and suddenly a 3D map was projected into the air, and the entire Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall was clearly displayed in front of the two.

"Okay, thank you!"

Jiang Tao thanked her after seeing the location clearly, and signaled Lin Qi with his eyes.

The two turned and walked in the lobby, walking towards the inside.

Just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, they curiously observed everything around them.

Men and women coming and going, dressed extraordinarily, with powerful auras, emitting terrifying momentum, like terrifying humanoid giant beasts.

"As expected of the Cangqiong Martial Arts Hall, it's luxurious, when can I train here?"

Jiang Tao sighed with envy.

Lin Qi was the same.

But he heard that even the most ordinary martial arts room here costs 1000 yuan per hour, which instantly made him retreat.

"It's a pity 1000 yuan is too expensive, this can buy how many Qi and Blood capsules."

Jiang Tao shook his head and sighed.

After a short while, the two arrived at their destination—a-128.

This was a silver-white metal door with a password lock on it.

"Boom~"

The metal door opened, and a boy in blue holding his arm walked out, accompanied by a strong smell of sweat and a trace of blood.

He glanced at Lin Qi and the two after coming out.

Then he limped towards the entrance.

Lin Qi and Jiang Tao looked at each other, feeling inexplicable pressure.

Then they entered the martial arts room together.

"Boom~ Boom~"

The first thing that caught their eyes was the spacious and bright space, a full nearly three hundred square meters of martial arts room.

In the center of the martial arts room, two figures collided.

Both sides were wearing tightly wrapped black protective gear, circling and intersecting on the field to fight.

One of them was taller, attacking fiercely, while the other was fiercely attacked and retreated steadily.

Lin Qi looked at the movements of the two, and strange light seemed to flicker in his eyes.

"Are you two here to be sparring partners?"

After Lin Qi and the two entered, they heard a female voice.

Looking over, it was a beautiful woman in her twenties, wearing blue clothes, with a tall figure and a bulging chest.

Holding a tablet, she asked expressionlessly after seeing the two.

"Yes, you must be Sister Lian, right? It was agreed on WeChat, we are here to be sparring partners."

Jiang Tao leaned over and responded first.

The blue-clothed woman looked down from above, scanning Lin Qi and the two from head to toe.

Especially after seeing the worn-out clothes and the severely worn-out sneakers, she frowned and said:

"First of all, to be a sparring partner, 1000 yuan each, if you do well, you can stay for a long term, 1500 Xia Guo Yuan each time."

"Medical expenses are also included, any problems?"

"No problem!"

Lin Qi and Jiang Tao looked at each other and nodded.
