It was terrifying,\" Zhou Hanchang said, still looking shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, we’re all in the same boat. I’m amazed I was able to endure it myself,\" Zhou Hansong added with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Zongyang didn’t know their exact progress, but he could estimate it based on how many days they would need the medicine bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the duration of their pummeling session, their progress hadn’t reached twenty points, but it was over ten. His younger uncle, however, was likely only at around ten points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them should reach Entry Grade in six to ten days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next up were his two cousins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earnest Zhou Zhenyuan stared at the freshly prepared medicinal bath, his body tense. \"I... I’m honestly terrified too,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father, Zhou Hansong, sighed in resignation. He could sympathize; that first moment in the water was truly excruciating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhenyuan, even I was scared, but you just have to hold on for that first little bit. You saw it from out here—once you get past that initial shock, it stops scalding you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Zongyang didn’t add anything. ’This is something they have to overcome themselves. Anything I say is useless.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Zhendong had already stripped off his clothes and was standing before the bamboo basket, breathing heavily. He was clearly just as nervous and fearful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Zhou Zhenyuan also stripped off his clothes. Biting down on a cloth strip, he stepped into the bamboo basket with a determined look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Zongyang smiled. \"Being nervous is a good thing. It helps you keep your body tense, so you won’t accidentally let go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Cheng Zongyang began lowering them one by one into the bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s better to be lowered in the basket than to try and step in one foot at a time. Better to get the pain over with quickly, and the result is quite good.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, the two younger men’s pain tolerance and willpower couldn’t compare to their elders, who had endured years of hardship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they kept their legs hugged tightly to maintain the posture, their struggles in the medicinal bath were far more violent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone watched with concern, both of them, thankfully, began to settle down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They settled down slightly faster than their three elders had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Zongyang made a mental note: ’Aptitude affects the speed at which the warm current appears.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My two cousins’ aptitude must be slightly better than that of the three elders. Of course, that’s just a guess. I’ll have to see how long their pummeling session lasts.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If my guess is correct, it means the better the aptitude, the faster one enters the proper state.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As for whether their aptitude is better than mine, that will also depend on their pummeling duration and the number of medicine baths it takes for them to reach Entry Grade.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’One day, when I have time, I’ll write all this down as a training manual to be passed down through the family.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After their medicine bath ended, it was time for the pummeling session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Zongyang timed them from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, after about half an hour, his two cousins also finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their results were about the same as his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Zongyang knew that, barring any surprises, they should also reach Entry Grade in five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that everyone has started the medicine baths, you can also pummel your bodies in your free time using the method I taught. The force doesn’t need to be as strong as it was tonight. Second Uncle, perhaps you could look into making some body-strengthening medicinal wine for everyone to use with their training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Guangshan smiled. \"I’ll look into the medicinal wine later. I do have a recipe for a medicine bath, but it’s nothing compared to yours, Zongyang. It’s a formula used by Martial Arts Halls, which I got from one years ago. It’s no secret recipe. It can help with recovery after training and prevent physical damage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be great,\" Cheng Zongyang said with a smile. \"That way, everyone can train daily when they have time, without having to wait for the evening Martial Arts Medicine Bath. Their speed in reaching Entry Grade will also be a little faster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. We’ll do as you say,\" Cheng Guangshan agreed with a nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others naturally had no objections either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, they were already looking forward to the day they all became Martial Artists!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone dispersed, and Cheng Zongyang returned to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve gathered a lot of valuable training data tonight. It will be very helpful for guiding others in the future.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Once the three elders and my two cousins reach Entry Grade, I can entrust them with the training of others in the future.’\u003C\u002Fp>",805,"2026-06-02T10:22:44.891Z",1,"novelbin.me","4aeef7524ad658ccde9dd167cee80adf949ba2398eace3b127bb3643f49debf9","martial-arts-i-have-a-wilderness-world-chapter-131","martial-arts-i-have-a-wilderness-world-chapter-129",350,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmartial-arts-i-have-a-wilderness-world-cover.jpg"]
