Chapter 200 Ambition
"Young friend Chen is indeed remarkable."
Li Hu nodded and then said, "Brother Xu, try this Crimson Blood Chicken and see if it is as effective against seventh-rank martial artists as Young Friend Chen said."
"it is good!"
Xu Zhiwen didn't hesitate. He picked up his chopsticks, put a piece of golden-brown stir-fried chicken into his mouth, and chewed it gently.
As soon as the chicken entered his mouth, the aroma of meat mixed with oil spread throughout his mouth. Xu Zhiwen couldn't help but squint his eyes, speed up his chewing, and then swallowed the chicken.
"how?"
Li Hu looked at Chen Dao with curiosity. He did not doubt Chen Dao's credibility. Chen Dao said that the Crimson Blood Chicken was effective for seventh-grade martial artists, so there was a high probability that it was really effective. However, before he could find out for himself, Li Hu was still a little unsure. After all, medicinal herbs that were effective for seventh-grade martial artists were extremely rare in Taiping County!
"Effect……"
Xu Zhiwen carefully examined his internal body and his eyes lit up: "The effect is not bad! Although the effect of this chicken is not strong, it has a subtle and gentle effect. I can feel that the blood and qi in my body have become a little restless."
The restlessness of Qi and blood means that the power of Qi and blood is increasing, which also means that... the meat of this Crimson Blood Chicken is indeed effective for seventh-grade martial artists, but the effect is not so obvious, or rather, it is a more gradual nourishment.
"Brother Xu, why don't you try this chicken blood again?"
Li Hu pointed to the chicken blood on the table and said that having eaten a lot of blood-feathered chickens, he knew very well that the chickens brought by Chen Dao often had a more potent effect from the chicken blood.
"Row!"
Xu Zhiwen picked up the bowl on the table and drank a third of the chicken blood in one gulp!
As soon as the chicken blood entered his stomach, Xu Zhiwen's face immediately turned red. He felt as if his blood was boiling violently, and even the skin hidden under his clothes turned red. In the cold weather, he felt extremely hot all over.
"This chicken blood is incredibly potent!"
Xu Zhiwen couldn't help but get up and strike a pose in the backyard, practicing his own Sudden Rain Fist!
Sudden Rain Fist, as its name suggests, is like a sudden storm, with its movements dense and continuous, completely different from the expansive and sweeping moves of Tiger Subduing Fist.
"call!"
About fifteen minutes later, Xu Zhiwen stopped punching and kicking and exhaled a puff of white mist.
"The effects of this chicken blood... are truly amazing!"
After carefully assessing his own condition, Xu Zhiwen said with slight excitement, "A mouthful of chicken blood has significantly increased my qi and blood strength!"
At this moment, Xu Zhiwen was extremely excited. Since advancing to the seventh rank, his martial arts had stagnated. Even with diligent daily practice of the Sudden Rain Fist, his progress was quite limited. This was a problem that most martial artists had to face. To make rapid progress in martial arts, one needed sufficient medicinal herbs.
However, the medicinal herbs needed by a seventh-grade martial artist are practically impossible to buy in a small place like Taiping County. Even if Xu Zhiwen could send someone to the county town to buy them, the price would be beyond his means. After all, he is not a corrupt official who would fleece the people, and his own wealth would hardly be enough to afford the high price of medicinal herbs for a seventh-grade martial artist.
That is why Xu Zhiwen had not felt any progress in his martial arts since advancing to the seventh rank. Now, with this sudden improvement, he was overjoyed.
"The effect is really that good?"
Li Hu's eyes lit up as well.
His situation was similar to Xu Zhiwen's. After advancing to the seventh rank, the increase in qi and blood brought about by daily boxing practice had become very weak, or even non-existent. Therefore, when he heard Xu Zhiwen give chicken blood a high evaluation, Li Hu couldn't help but get excited!
The effects of the Crimson Blood Chicken's blood are so remarkable that this means... Li Hu's martial arts journey will not end, but will continue!
"It's better than I expected!"
Xu Zhiwen nodded seriously and said, "This young friend Chen is truly an extraordinary person! With this Crimson Blood Chicken, we might be able to become peak seventh-grade martial artists like Yuan Ju! Even... sixth-grade martial artists are not out of reach!"
Xu Zhiwen's eyes burned with fervor. In the Xia Kingdom, martial prowess was paramount, and every Xia citizen was extremely passionate about martial arts, even the scholar-official class. Therefore…
The moment Xu Zhiwen realized that he might become a sixth-rank martial artist, he was filled with excitement.
"Sixth grade?"
Li Hu's eyes shone brightly, but the light quickly dimmed: "A sixth-grade martial artist? How easy is that!"
To become a sixth-rank martial artist, one not only needs to reach the peak of the seventh rank, but also... a higher level of martial arts!
Whether it's Li Hu's family-inherited Tiger-Taming Fist or Xu Zhiwen's Sudden Rain Fist, both are low-grade martial arts, and can only be cultivated to the peak of the seventh grade at most. As for the sixth grade...
A sixth-rank martial artist needs to generate internal energy within their body, but low-rank martial arts cannot generate internal energy from the blood and qi within the body; only mid-rank or higher martial arts can.
Mid-grade martial arts techniques are not found in Taiping County.
"Brother Li, there's no need to be discouraged!"
Xu Zhiwen smiled and said, "Right now we do not have any mid-grade martial arts techniques, but that may not be the case in the future! Tomorrow I will send people to the county city to search for mid-grade martial arts techniques as much as possible. Once we find them... advancing to the sixth grade will be just around the corner!"
The existence of the Crimson Blood Chicken has already paved the way for the two of them to reach the peak of the seventh rank. They only need to obtain a mid-grade martial art, and becoming a sixth-rank martial artist will be just a matter of time.
And a sixth-rank martial artist...
Even within the entire Xia Kingdom, they belong to the absolute backbone of the nation.
"Then I'll take your kind words, Brother Xu!"
A glint also flashed in Li Hu's eyes. He was also an ambitious person in the martial arts world, but in the past, he could only hide his ambition due to limited resources.
Now that he has the Crimson Blood Chicken... Li Hu might be able to take another step forward and reach the sixth rank realm that he never dared to hope for before!

The next day.
As soon as the sun rose, Chen Dao woke up. After having breakfast with Chen Cheng in the lobby of Taihua Restaurant, they left the hotel and headed to Fuhu Boxing Gym.
It's worth mentioning that while Chen Dao was having breakfast, many of the restaurant's guests and the manager frequently looked at him and Chen Cheng, as if they were looking at some rare species.
These guests who looked at Chen Dao and Chen Cheng were all witnesses to yesterday's bloody incident. Of course, what shocked them even more was what Chen Dao did afterward!
Last night, the news of the Yuan family's massacre had spread throughout Taiping County. For ordinary people, this news was just something to talk about over tea and dinner, and it wouldn't affect their lives. In fact, many people who had been oppressed by the Yuan family even cheered!
However, within the upper echelons of Taiping County, this news undoubtedly caused a commotion comparable to an 18-magnitude earthquake!
The Yuan family had been established in Taiping County for a century, and had always been the most powerful and influential family in the county. Now, however, the entire clan had been wiped out...
