Chapter 11: Upgrade

After the dinner party, Li Fei and Lu Changwu, along with the other four children of squadron leaders, rode their bicycles back to the residential compound of the Inspectorate.

After saying goodbye to Lu Changwu and others, Li Fei returned home and told Li Lei about what happened today.

"Li Shu, how is your relationship with that Squadron Leader Lu?"

Li Fei asked.

There must be power disputes within the Inspectorate. If Li Lei and that Squadron Leader Lu were not on the same path, then he would have to be extra careful when dealing with Lu Changwu in the future.

"It's rare for you to come and ask me specifically."

A gratified smile appeared on Li Lei's face, feeling that this child had indeed grown up.

"That Squadron Leader Lu is almost certain to be promoted to Deputy Inspector General, and the other two squadron leaders can't compete with him."

Li Fei immediately understood that there was no conflict of interest, so the relationship between the two sides would at least not be hostile.

In that case, his dealing with Lu Changwu would not cause trouble for Li Lei.

"What Lu Changwu told you today is basically the truth. The Tiger Blade Gang has almost turned the Xingcheng Martial Arts Hall into their own backyard. If you want to get the quota for the university's Stop-Conflict Department, you will inevitably run into the Tiger Blade Gang. So, you can associate with those people like Lu Changwu, but you must also be careful not to be used as a gun by others. Do you understand?"

Li Lei looked at Li Fei.

"I understand, Li Shu, don't worry."

Li Fei nodded.

"Following Mr. Hao to practice martial arts, is there any place where you need money?"

Li Lei asked again.

Li Fei didn't hesitate and nodded again: "Yes, the teacher taught me a hard kung fu today, and then gave me a prescription, which needs to be purchased at the Martial Arts Hall."

"Hard kung fu?"

Li Lei didn't expect Hao Yi to teach Li Fei this, but he believed in Hao Yi's vision and ability, so he took out his wallet without hesitation, and then took out a stack of paper money from it and handed it to Li Fei:

"There are two hundred yuan here, you take it and use it first, and tell me if it's not enough."

Li Fei took the stack of banknotes with both hands and said seriously: "Thank you, Li Shu."

"It's okay, your Li Shu still has some savings, don't be polite with me."

Li Lei said very casually.

His salary on the surface is 100 yuan per month, but in fact, he has various other incomes, so he has indeed saved some money over the years.

It's just that these savings might not be enough to support Li Tianyu to go to university, let alone take out a part to give to Li Fei.

Li Fei looked at the stack of banknotes in his hand, and only one thought in his heart:

"A drop of grace should be repaid with a gushing spring!"

The next morning, Li Fei looked at the Myriad Blood Bead in his body as usual:

【Level: 1, 72%

Blood Soul: 10】

After a night, the level data increased by 1%, which is the energy automatically absorbed from the body by the Myriad Blood Bead, and the Blood Souls also returned to 10.

Through observation, Li Fei estimated that the recovery speed of Blood Souls is 1 Blood Soul per 24 hours, which means that no matter how heavy the injury is, he can fully recover in ten days.

After getting dressed and having breakfast, Li Fei ran to the Martial Arts Hall and went to buy medicinal materials at the material building for the first time.

"Hello, the price of a full set of medicine on the prescription is 35 yuan."

The administrator of the material department said to Li Fei after reading the prescription.

"Give me one set first, thank you."

Li Fei handed 35 yuan to the other party.

A full set of medicine can be used 10 times. Li Lei gave him 200 yuan, enough for him to practice the "Heavenly Gang Overlord Body" 50 times.

After getting the medicine, Li Fei took a large bag of medicine and headed to the practice building.

First, apply for the use of the medicine bathroom at Sister Zhang's place, get the key to 304, and then go upstairs to enter it.

Skillfully light the gas stove, Li Fei started to boil water, and then poured the boiled water into the wooden barrel.

After the wooden barrel was more than half full, he poured a bag of medicine into the wooden barrel according to what was written on the prescription.

Soon, the room was filled with the smell of herbs.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Fei took a bag of medicinal powder, took off his clothes, and soaked his whole body in the wooden barrel.

This is a necessary step for practicing the "Heavenly Gang Overlord Body," taking medicinal powder internally and soaking in medicine externally, in order to stimulate one's own potential, and then practicing the "Heavenly Gang Overlord Body" will be twice the result with half the effort.

Li Fei soon felt his body heating up, as if something was drilling into his body.

Not only that, he also noticed that his Blood Souls were decreasing.

This shows that his body is being damaged.

Hao Yi had already made it clear to him that the medicine used to practice the "Heavenly Gang Overlord Body" could allow him to practice quickly, but it would also cause certain damage to the body, so it should not be used in excess.

However, this is nothing to Li Fei. He has the Myriad Blood Bead to share the damage, and the damage caused by the medicine to his body will be reduced to the minimum. And even if there is damage, he can fully recover within ten days, so he doesn't have to worry about leaving sequelae.

After soaking in the wooden barrel for about an hour, Li Fei came out and put on his clothes again.

He "looked" at the Myriad Blood Bead:

【Level: 1, 91%

Blood Soul: 9, 82%】

The medicine brought him damage, but it also allowed the Myriad Blood Bead to absorb energy. Now the Myriad Blood Bead is only 9% away from upgrading!

After a while, Hao Yi walked in.

"Teacher."

"Hmm, stand in the Heavenly Gang One-Qi Stake."

Hao Yi glanced at Li Fei, confirmed that he had used the medicine, and said very simply.

"Yes."

Li Fei started to stand in the stake. Perhaps because of soaking in the medicine and taking the medicinal powder, he felt that his breathing was scorching, and his body slowly began to heat up.

Hao Yi on the side took off the black leather gloves he had been wearing, revealing blood-red hands, and then slapped Li Fei all over his body one palm after another.

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

Dull slapping sounds rang out in the room one after another.

Every time Hao Yi slapped Li Fei, Li Fei felt a stream of heat penetrate into his body, and the place being slapped quickly turned red and swollen, producing pain.

Because he knew that Hao Yi was helping him practice, Li Fei took the initiative to cut off the connection between himself and the Myriad Blood Bead, letting his body bear all the damage.

Not all damage is harmful to the body. For example, muscle tissue needs to be constantly torn and rebuilt, so that it can become stronger and stronger.

The principles of various hard kung fu are similar. Li Fei can actively control the connection between himself and the Myriad Blood Bead, so that it is convenient for him to practice these kung fu.

Perhaps because of the effect of the medicine, Li Fei felt that his body was like a drum full of air, absorbing the impact force received time and time again, and then bouncing it back.

"Control the breathing rhythm, keep up with my slapping, and imagine a stream of breath flowing in the body."

Hao Yi pointed out to Li Fei while slapping.

He required that when his palm slapped, Li Fei's breathing rhythm and body movements were just right, and the breath in the body appeared at the position being slapped.

The difficulty of this process is not small. If Li Fei hadn't mastered the Primordial One-Qi Stake in advance, he wouldn't be able to keep up with Hao Yi's rhythm now.

Hao Yi would stop from time to time to let Li Fei slow down, and the two continued like this for more than an hour.

After ending this period of practice, Hao Yi's blood-red hands kept emitting white steam visible to the naked eye, and his face also showed obvious fatigue.

It can be seen that maintaining such practice is not a small consumption for him.

And Li Fei after practicing felt comfortable all over, with a kind of indescribable comfort.

He looked at Hao Yi, who showed obvious fatigue, and cupped his fists at him:

"Thank you, teacher, teacher has worked hard."

Hao Yi waved his hand, and his serious expression became a bit softer:

"This step is called Qi circulation, making your body active and your breath full of the whole body. Next is the anti-beating training. The process is similar to just now. You must try your best to let your breath keep up with my beating."

After saying that, he picked up an iron rod placed on the side with one hand and hit Li Fei's body with one rod.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The sound of the iron rod hitting was very dull. Li Fei used the Heavenly Gang One-Qi Stake to resist the beating just like before.

During this process, he would re-establish the connection with the Myriad Blood Bead from time to time, using the Myriad Blood Bead to bear the damage.

Doing so is not to be lazy or afraid of pain, but he wants the Myriad Blood Bead to absorb more energy so that it can upgrade faster.

Hao Yi used an iron rod to hit, and every strike used clever force, which could vibrate Li Fei's skin and muscles to the greatest extent, and hurt Li Fei as little as possible.

Even so, every strike of his was full of force, and the Myriad Blood Bead could absorb a lot of energy.

After continuing like this for more than half an hour, Li Fei suddenly felt a warm current surge from the Myriad Blood Bead in his body, making him feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring, and all the pain and fatigue in his body disappeared.

He quickly checked the Myriad Blood Bead in his body:

【Level: 2, 1%

Blood Soul: 12】

The Myriad Blood Bead finally upgraded!
