One month later.
afternoon.
Shanshan Quanyuan, inner courtyard.

Han Zhao held the knife in both hands and swung it from the upper right. The wooden stake in front of him was cut off diagonally from the top.
With a clang, the chopped wood fell to the ground paved with stone slabs.
Han Zhao looked down at his hands holding the knife. He felt that the muscles in his arms were swollen, his hands were hot, and the energy and blood in his body were surging, and power was pouring out.
Martial arts: Broken Moon Sword Technique (1% small percentage on the first level; can be improved; special effect: burst level 1)
"Finally a breakthrough."
Just now, he felt as if there was a breath of energy that was being held back in his body and wanted to be released, so he used his true energy and slashed out with a sharp knife, and successfully broke through.
It took ninety-one days to reach the level of skin training, which was considered a formal introduction.
According to what he knew, this speed was considered above average in martial arts schools.
The main reason is that we are poor, otherwise if we eat better and take more supplements, it will definitely be faster.
[The proficiency of 'Sword and Sword' is increased, the qualification of swordsmanship is increased by four times, and the qualification of swordsmanship is increased by three times. 】
With Han Zhao's breakthrough, another good news came from the system panel.
[Double Swordsmanship] The entry effect has increased, from three times the qualification to four times the qualification.
What a double blessing.
"Breakthrough."
"Han Zhao made a breakthrough."
"What a strength!"
The sound of the wooden stakes being cut off caught the attention of Li Fei and others, and they all stopped.
Zhao Yuantu, who was instructing newcomers to boxing outside, jogged into the inner courtyard.
Looking at the chopped wooden stake, Zhao Yuantu said in surprise: "Han Zhao, you are so strong right after you break through?! This is snake grain wood, which is very hard. Even a warrior who has perfected the skin training realm must use all his strength to cut it. Break."
Although he could destroy the snake grain wood with one punch, he had reached the bone training realm and Han Zhao had just broken through.
"This kind of explosive power is amazing!"
Zhao Yuantu gave Han Zhao a thumbs up.
The relationship between the two in this martial arts school is relatively good.
What Han Zhao liked was that Zhao Yuantu was more honest.
"I don't know either." Han Zhao imitated Zhao Yuantu's habitual movements, scratched his head and said, "Maybe I am naturally stronger?"
"Innate divine power?!" Zhao Yuantu's eyes lit up, "I'll go find the master."
With that said, Zhao Yuantu ran towards the side room, preparing to wake up Lu Yi who was taking a nap.
"Han Zhao, congratulations."
Some of the apprentices practicing boxing outside also gathered around, and some people who had a good relationship with Han Zhao offered congratulations.
The mobility of martial arts apprentices is very high. Every month, old people give up and new people join. For those of them who are learning boxing, everything will be fine if they can break through within half a year.
In this world, boxing is money. Even if they only reach the realm of skin training, it will be enough for them to live a life without worries about food and clothing in the future.
Many people looked enviously and continued to practice hard.
After a while, Lu Yi came out. He came to Han Zhao, rolled up his sleeves, and tapped his arm twice.
Han Zhao suddenly felt his arm becoming hot and swollen, and his muscles began to contract.
"Not bad." Lu Yi nodded.
Although Han Zhao is a bit weak, if he really has a special physique with natural divine power, then every time he breaks through the realm, he will be stronger than ordinary people. Especially when he reaches the blood training realm, his energy and blood will be much stronger than those of the same level.
In this way, there is still a chance to develop strength.
Lu Yi looked at the broken pieces of wood on the ground, pointed to the intact wooden pile on the side and said, "Han Zhao, you can chop it with all your strength and let me see."
"Yes." Han Zhao came to another wooden stake and stood there, mobilized his body's strength, and slashed out with his sword.
Click!
The blade cut halfway into the wooden stake and got stuck inside.
'Is this the realm of skin training? 'This sword gave Han Zhao a more intuitive feeling about his own strength, and his body's strength increased a lot.
When I was chopping wood piles before, my arms would become sore and swollen over time, and I had to drink Qi and Blood Decoction every day to recover.
Now that the knife was cut so hard, my arm felt nothing at all.
Before breaking through, he also secretly tried to use his health-preserving energy to draw a sword, but it only made a deeper mark on the wooden pile and could not be cut at all.
The knife used during the breakthrough was the simultaneous action of physical strength and true energy, which directly cut off the wooden stake.
It can cut through wooden piles, and it can also split a person into two pieces with one blow.
Of course, now that Lu Yi was present, he did not dare to use his true energy.
"The strength is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary skin training warriors, but it is not a special physique with natural divine power." Lu Yi nodded, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"What a pity." Han Zhao lowered his head with a regretful expression.
Lu Yi was indeed kind to him. As long as there was a chance, he would definitely find a chance to repay him, but the secret of Zhenqi must not be exposed.
Never test human nature at any time.
"Although you are not born with divine power, your energy and blood are very strong. Don't slack off and keep working hard." Lu Yi comforted you.
"Yes, Master." Han Zhao clenched his fists.
Lu Yi nodded, turned and left.
Han Zhao looked at the bright silver sword in his hand, looked at Lu Yi's back, and opened his mouth.
"That's right." Lu Yi suddenly stopped, turned around, pointed at the long knife in Han Zhao's hand and said, "As agreed, this silver frost knife will be given to you."
"Thank you Master Lu." Han Zhao smiled and bowed slightly.
"Junior Brother Han, congratulations." A petite girl came forward and smiled at Han Zhao, it was Xu Ling.
Xu Ling is petite, with a chubby face and cute appearance. At first glance, she looks a bit like a minor. She also has a good personality. I feel that she is not suitable for practicing domineering swordsmanship, but for dexterous swordsmanship.
But Han Zhao had seen the way this senior sister rolled up her sleeves. Her arms were thicker than his, and they were all muscles. Moreover, I have only practiced swordsmanship for one year and I have already reached the level of skin training. It is just that I have not yet fully mastered the first "Hengjiang Style", but I am getting closer.
[Based on her breathing rate and rhythm, it is very likely that she is wearing a bra wrap. She is covering up such a big thing. 】
Facing Xu Ling's kindness, Han Zhao looked into the other person's eyes and returned the favor with a smile, ignoring the prompts in his eyes. He didn't understand how a serious person like him could have such a coquettish system.
He had heard of the name of Xu's Trading Company. Although there seemed to be no Jinjin martial arts masters in charge, there were two or three quasi-martial arts masters in the Blood Refining Realm, and their relations with various forces were pretty good.
"I wonder if Junior Brother Han is interested in going to the rice store owned by my Xu family? It costs one or two a month. Just take time to check it out occasionally."
Xu Ling continued and began to win over Han Zhao.
Once the warriors in the martial arts hall enter the realm, they will be attracted by various forces in the city. Although the skin-training realm warriors are not strong, they are still favored by small forces.
Xu Ling's condition was not to let Han Zhao sign a contract, but just in name, and he would receive twelve taels of silver a year.
The so-called name-calling means taking action once in a while, and it is within the scope of one's ability and does not endanger life.
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to cause trouble for the Xu family. Putting their name on it would be equivalent to giving away money.
Signing a contract is different, sometimes you have to fight hard.
Han Zhao was a little hesitant because the conditions offered by Xu Ling were too good.
Seeing that Han Zhao was worried, Xu Ling continued: "Of course, I am not without additional conditions. If Junior Brother Han continues to break through, whether you want to name yourself or formally sign a contract, you must give priority to Xu Jiami. . Of course, you won’t be short of money.”
After hearing this, Han Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Xu, for your kindness. If the conditions are exactly as you said, I agree."
Xu Ling's additional condition is normal and reasonable.
"Okay, I'll bring the contract tomorrow." Xu Ling smiled slightly, with two shallow dimples showing on his face.
"good."
Han Zhao nodded and went back to practice alone.
Su Yun pulled Xu Ling aside and whispered: "Xu Ling, do you have too much money to use up? With such a good condition, you can just sign the contract. If you add a little more money, you can hire a warrior from the Bone Training Realm to name you. Okay. Don’t you have a crush on Han Zhao? Do you want him to marry into your Xu family?”
"Don't talk nonsense, it won't be good for Junior Brother Han to hear it!" Xu Ling glared at Su Yun angrily and explained: "Junior Brother Han has a very high level of understanding, but he is just a bit weak. All he lacks is money."
"I don't know whether I should say you are kind-hearted or naive?" Su Yun shook her head.
"Everyone in the world likes to add icing on the cake, so I will be the one to provide help in times of need."
Xu Ling smiled, his tone a little low.
Twelve taels a year is not small money, but it is nothing to her.
Children from rich families also have difficulties.
Her family mainly operates a rice store and a cloth store. The most profitable store, the cloth store, is now in the hands of her second brother, while she runs the rice store. Whoever manages the business well will be the head of the family in six years.
Because of this incident, her second brother, who had a fairly good relationship with her when she was a child, has become very alienated from her in recent years.
If she succeeds in the competition, she can accommodate her second brother.
But if his second brother became the head of the family, he might not be able to tolerate her.
The best outcome is to find a son-in-law.
It is very likely that she will be used to form a marriage alliance, to marry a quasi martial artist, or to be a martial artist as a concubine.
Her eldest sister is married to a quasi-martial artist in her sixties.
Han Zhao is not the first one she invests in, nor is it the last one. She believes that providing help in times of need is better than adding icing on the cake.
Su Yun smiled after hearing this and was noncommittal.
She was used to seeing snobbish people, so she would not be as naive as Xu Ling.
...
Han Zhao practiced until the evening. After drinking the Qi and Blood Soup, he left the martial arts hall and prepared to go home.
As soon as he reached the door, several apprentices caught up with him and invited him to sign up for the small gang.
Apparently, the news that he had broken through to the skin training realm spread out in one afternoon.
But this is normal.
Even if Han Zhao is only in the skin training realm, he is also a weapon practitioner, which is better than those in the same realm who practice fists and kicks.
One of the gangs that invited him to name himself was the 'Wild Dog Gang', but Han Zhao refused directly. The impression was too bad! Moreover, what this gang does is deception, abduction, and oppression of poor people.
He can't change, but he doesn't want to join in.
If you want to bully, bully the rich!
In the end, Han Zhao chose the name of 'Lianfeng Villa', which had a good reputation and offered a higher price. He paid three coins a month and sold the property once a year within his ability.
Through comparison, we can see how good the conditions offered by Xu Ling are.
Recently, he has taught all the children he can teach near Xinqiaofang. It is difficult for him to make more money by teaching literacy.
The appointment of the Xu family and Lianfeng Villa is very crucial.
He currently has 6 taels of silver on him. Excluding the consumption of extra meals, at this earning rate, he will be able to collect 1 tael of gold in about five or six months.
"It's better to be a rich woman!" Han Zhao sighed in his heart.
As long as you continue to work hard to improve your strength, life will get better and better.
Thinking of this, he walked home much more briskly.
Now that he has made money, he is ready to eat something good.
Buy twenty meat buns and a small pot of rice wine for dinner to reward yourself.
