6: Strengthen your muscles and bones, and visit the Qin family martial arts school
Li Xue凝's expression was filled with worry, and Li Xiuyuan anxiously rubbed his hands.
Su Lei didn't speak.
Waiting for the other party to come knocking was definitely not an option; his wife and child absolutely could not be implicated in the slightest.
To resolve this matter, he could only take the initiative, and he couldn't delay.
Thinking of this, he took out the Tendons Strengthening and Bone Tempering Medicine he had prepared to take earlier from his Pregnant chest.
Looking at the Medicinal Pill in Su Lei's hand, which emitted a peculiar medicinal fragrance,
Li Xue凝 was instantly stunned.
To maintain his Realm and receive the Martial Artist's allowance, Su Lei had always been consuming Qi and Blood Pills.
The scene before her was not unfamiliar.
It wasn't that she was worried about the money, it was just…
Every medicine has its three parts of poison.
Although Medicinal Pills could enhance strength, they only played an auxiliary role; the focus was on one's own Cultivation.
Relying solely on medicine would not only fail to make one strong but also damage the kidneys and place a huge burden on the body.
This was common knowledge that even ordinary people knew.
Just by its appearance, one could tell this Medicinal Pill was extraordinary, and its side effects were probably even more potent.
This man before her, to become stronger, to maintain this family, had silently endured all of this all along…
Thinking of this, Li Xue凝's eyes suddenly reddened.
Su Lei swallowed the Tendons Strengthening and Bone Tempering Medicine in one gulp.
The moment the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, his body trembled violently.
He could clearly feel a surge of heat quietly erupting, instantly sweeping through his entire body.
The unbearable tingling sensation made him suddenly stand up from the sofa.
As he stood up, there was a series of crackling sounds, and the power within his body surged out like a river!
Su Lei clenched his fists tightly, his eyes gleaming.
Although he had some psychological expectations, the effect of this Medicinal Pill still shocked him.
Surges of heat were constantly circulating through his limbs and bones,
His tendons became tougher, and his bones hardened like steel!
At this moment, his body felt as if it had returned to its previous Peak state,
No, even stronger!
One must know that the Cultivation Techniques sold on the market only trained muscles and Qi and blood.
Strengthening tendons and tempering bones?
It was simply unheard of!
Li Xue凝, standing beside him, was stunned.
She wondered if it was her imagination.
Su Lei's slightly hunched body instantly straightened, and in that moment, he seemed to have grown seven or eight centimeters taller.
The powerless appearance of the middle-aged man was swept away.
Looking at the man before her, radiant and sharp, Li Xue凝's heart pounded.
She didn't know what she was thinking, but her cheeks flushed slightly.
Li Xiuyuan's mouth was wide open, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, but he couldn't make a sound, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
"Let's go."
Su Lei's calm voice reached his ears, and only then did he awaken as if from a dream.
Looking at his brother-in-law, who seemed like a different person, he stammered, "W-where to…?"
Su Lei frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you want me to settle things for you?
"Lead the way, Qin Martial Arts School."
...
On the crowded bus, the smell of gasoline and sweat mixed together.
Li Xiuyuan clutched the handrail tightly, his gaze constantly darting towards Su Lei beside him, hesitating to speak several times.
It wasn't until the two stood in front of the Qin Martial Arts School's venue that he finally mustered the courage to tug on Su Lei's sleeve.
"Brother-in-law, going directly like this, I'm afraid…" His voice grew softer and softer, "Why don't we go to the Martial Artist's Committee first? You're also a Martial Artist, they'll definitely…"
Su Lei's sidelong glance made the latter half of his sentence catch in his throat.
"What? You don't trust me?"
"I didn't mean that." Li Xiuyuan quickly waved his hand, "But this is their territory, and they have the numbers."
"If something were to happen, if you were to suffer any harm, I truly wouldn't have the face to see Xue Ning."
Su Lei didn't speak and pushed open the venue door directly.
"Welcome to Qin Martial Arts School!"
The Young Miss at the front desk showed a sweet smile.
"We have several certified Martial Masters providing one-on-one guidance here."
"And we're currently having a promotion; if you get a membership card, you directly get one year free. You two can experience it for free first…"
Before she could finish, Su Lei unceremoniously interrupted her.
"Call Qin Ming out."
Qin Ming, 46 years old, a Fourth-Stage Martial Artist.
He had fought on the front lines since his teens, then retired to become the founder of Qin Martial Arts School.
According to his brother-in-law, he was a powerful individual with a combat power of 460.
The Young Miss at the front desk's smile instantly vanished, her gaze moving past Su Lei and settling on Li Xiuyuan.
Recently, some ignorant fool wanted to cooperate with the martial arts academy, not only gaining no benefits but also facing a huge breach of contract fee.
It had become a laughingstock here, and even she had heard of it.
"Mr. Li, we've tried to contact you for days without a response, why are you suddenly here?"
"Could it be that you've gathered the remaining debt?"
As soon as she finished speaking, two security guards by the door, with their hands on their batons, glanced over.
Li Xiuyuan shrank his neck and whispered, "Brother-in-law, why don't we still…"
Su Lei took a step forward and said indifferently, "Where's the academy owner?"
"I'm sorry, the academy owner is not here."
"Then have him come over. I'm here to settle this matter."
After a moment of hesitation, the Young Miss at the front desk made a call and spoke a few words in a low voice.
"Please wait in the lounge for a moment, Mr. Qin will be here shortly."
"No need for the lounge, take me to the testing room."
Su Lei said calmly.
After taking the Tendons Strengthening and Bone Tempering Medicine, he could clearly feel a surge in his strength.
But exactly how much stronger he had become was still unclear.
This was a good opportunity to test it out, so he could have a clear idea.
"This…"
"If I remember correctly, you just said we could experience it for free. What? Am I not a customer then?"
"Alright, please follow me…"
The three walked towards Testing Room Number Eighteen.
This drew the attention of passersby in the corridor.
"Oh, isn't that the sucker? Why is he suddenly here today?"
"What are you talking about? If it weren't for him, how would we have received an extra five hundred yuan in subsidies this month?"
"Training room? What does this guy want to do?"
"I don't know, let's go see."
...
Soon, Testing Room Number Eighteen was surrounded by curious students and coaches.
Li Xiuyuan was on pins and needles, constantly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Su Lei, however, ignored these gazes and walked directly to the force-measuring device in the center.
The strength of the bones determines the limit of force that can be borne.
And the strength of the tendons means more potential energy can be stored.
The two complement each other, and the explosive power of punches and kicks will increase exponentially…
Thinking this, he took a deep breath.
He assumed a horse stance, squatted slightly, leaned to the side, and placed his right fist at his waist.
His entire being was like a great bow, poised to strike!
The next moment.
His fist brought with it a piercing shriek and heavily smashed onto the instrument.
"Boom!"
The steel instrument, wrapped in leather, vibrated violently.
The numbers on the electronic screen above continuously flickered, then slowly stopped.
Combat Power: 432
Su Lei's eyes lit up.
The last test was only 209; after taking the Tendons Strengthening and Bone Tempering Medicine, he had improved so much!
The entire testing room instantly erupted in an uproar!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on that number, as if they had seen a ghost.
