Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 171: Chapter 114: Furious Blood Three Styles! Burn the Boats!_2

However.

Everyone had high expectations for Gu Xiaojiang, believing that his breakthrough to the Blood Refining Realm before eighteen was almost a certainty.

After all, Gu Xiaojiang had never taken a Blood Strengthening Pill before, and was only waiting for his foundation to become more substantial so he could take the pill to assist in a breakthrough, which had a considerable probability of success.

Earlier, Gu Xiaojiang used the pretext of a small gathering to guide Gu Sheng on his Iron Stone Fist.

On the surface.

Gu Sheng was still the same Stone Skin Martial Artist whose Iron Stone Fist hadn’t reached Small Success.

Gu Sheng naturally appreciated Gu Xiaojiang’s goodwill and once again heard the name Red Cloud Guard from him.

”So the so-called opportunity is to join the Red Cloud Guard?”

Gu Sheng murmured to himself.

Previously, he also knew that Liu Yuanhu had said that if Gu Xiaojiang could advance to the Blood Refining Realm before eighteen, there would be an opportunity for him. Now he realized this opportunity was related to the Red Cloud Guard.

”In a way, this can also be considered an investment. If Xiaojiang can establish himself or even gain authority in the Red Cloud Guard, it would also be an asset for him in the future, as the roots of the Gu family lie in Canghe County.”

Gu Sheng quickly understood Liu Yuanhu’s intentions.

Gu Xiaojiang was indeed a genius. If he could smoothly join the Red Cloud Guard, he was almost certain to become a martial artist in the Bone Refining Realm, and there was even hope for him to become a powerful figure in the Marrow Refining Realm!

Liu Yuanhu’s move was both to win over Gu’s Manor and to pave the way for his own future.

If Gu Xiaojiang succeeded in martial arts, his position in Canghe County would also become more stable and might even advance further.

”It seems Liu Yuanhu is very confident about eliminating Zhao Honglie...”

Gu Sheng shook his head and laughed softly.

However, he was genuinely happy that Gu Xiaojiang had the opportunity to join the Red Cloud Guard. This was one of his few friends, and the Red Cloud Guard indeed seemed to be a good choice for him. Otherwise, staying at Gu’s Manor might waste his talent.

Putting these thoughts aside, Gu Sheng continued his martial arts training.

He wasn’t practicing fist skills or leg skills, but rather axe skills!

After securing the courtyard gate, Gu Sheng wielded a giant axe with an extremely domineering air, each random chop carrying a bloodthirsty momentum, with each axe swing becoming more intense.

It had been almost half a month since he killed Wang Chong.

The Three Furious Blood Styles had not only reached the entry-level but had successfully achieved the Small Success realm!

This progress far exceeded Gu Sheng’s expectations.

”It seems that chopping wood enhances the Three Furious Blood Styles even more dramatically than I imagined. Furthermore, I can now add the First-level Ripping special effect of Chopping Wood to the Three Furious Blood Styles!”

Gu Sheng’s eyes showed a look of amazement.

The Small Success realm of the Three Furious Blood Styles could enhance power by 20%, which delighted him, but what made him even happier was that the Chopping Wood special effect could be added to the Three Furious Blood Styles.

This was a situation that had never occurred before.

Up to this day.

Gu Sheng had already developed various battle skills each with unique effects, yet the effects were distinct and clear-cut. The First-level Penetration of archery could not be executed through the Iron Stone Fist, but now, the combination of Chopping Wood and the Three Furious Blood Styles made him feel something different.

”Does this mean that if martial arts skills are compatible enough, their special effects can be shared?”

”Or perhaps the Three Furious Blood Styles are of a higher level than Chopping Wood, and in the future might even cover Chopping Wood? Or even merge together?”

Gu Sheng speculated about various possibilities in his heart.

In any case, this was a good thing.

The Three Furious Blood Styles allowed his combat strength to rapidly increase. Now only at Small Success, but when it reaches Great Success or even the Perfect realm, it will surely be another leap. By then, Gu Sheng’s combat power with a giant axe would be even more formidable!

Gu Sheng trained diligently.

Since beginning martial arts, he had spent most of his time in hard training, and he thoroughly enjoyed this rigorous effort.

Now with the addition of the Three Furious Blood Styles, he had another three martial arts skills to gain experience. In addition, he was focusing on refining his flesh and strengthening his blood and energy, keeping his schedule very full.

Since there was no longer a way to obtain Blood Strengthening Pills, Gu Sheng simply stopped thinking about it and instead focused on using Strengthening Blood Powder to refine his flesh and blood, so the speed wouldn’t be too slow.

As the Golden Body Skill approached the Great Achievement Realm, the skin and membranes of Gu Sheng’s head and body were further fortified, becoming very similar to those of his limbs.

Gradually, there was even a feeling of the skin being one.

The benefit it brought was—

Gu Sheng’s progress in refining his flesh was accelerating, and the effect of integrating the power of the three body-forging martial arts was terrifying.

According to his estimation, with such intensive use of Strengthening Blood Powder, it would take at most another month and a half for him to successfully advance to the Perfect realm of the Blood Refining Realm!

In that case, there was no need to pursue Blood Strengthening Pills; training hard at home would suffice.

Gu Sheng continued to practice martial arts.

Unsure how much time had passed, Gu Wan’s voice then came from outside the courtyard:

”Uncle Sheng, my dad calls you to come over for dinner!”

Gu Sheng responded, casually tidied up his things, and stepped out of the courtyard. When he saw the robust young boy resembling a little tiger outside, he couldn’t help but smile. Nowadays, Gu Wan had also reached the age where he was starting to grow, his stature and physique becoming strong and solid, reminiscent of a young calf.

”Let’s go.”

Listening to Gu Wan occasionally talk about playing and messing around with the other children in the manor brought Gu Sheng a sense of inexplicable tranquility.

Gu Erniu’s family was one of his few ties in Gu’s Manor.

He thought to himself silently that he would eventually leave one day, and that day was probably not far off. When the time came, perhaps he should leave something for Gu Erniu’s family...

...

Black Sand Gang.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was rather silent. The person sitting in the main seat was the gang leader Zhao Honglie, and the others were various high-ranking members within the gang.
