The woman asked curiously, "What was the sound you made with your punch just now?"
Lu Ren answered with a rare good mood, "It’s the sound of the fist breaking through the air."
"What about the white air on your arm?"
"That’s the body temperature rising after intense activity, causing the sweat on the arm to evaporate rapidly due to friction with the air during high-speed punching."
"I see, that requires a strong speed and power to support, right?"
Li Shu seed a bit disappointed, thinking it wasn’t sothing like Inner Strength or True Qi.
Lu Ren was noncommittal and did not answer the woman’s words.
This is not the martial arts those masters shout about online, but true Traditional Martial Arts. Without a strong physique, without superior physical qualities as a backing, no matter how exquisite your Fist Technique skills are, it’s just futile labor.
Training fists without cultivating power, it’s all empty when you’re old.
Hitting others is like scratching an itch.
So it’s said.
"My na is Li Shu." Seeing Lu Ren didn’t answer, Li Shu turned to introduce herself.
Li Shu?
This na sounds so familiar!
Imdiately Lu Ren realized that it was the woman he seed to have t in the Extraterritorial Ruins.
Lu Ren raised an eyebrow, "It’s you."
Hmm, but the face is like a tabby cat, can’t see clearly, just felt the features are okay, no wonder it seems familiar.
Li Shu smiled bitterly, "I guess I’m not that easily forgotten."
Lu Ren, at this ti, without the vigilance from the Exotic Realm, replied with interest, "I didn’t expect you to survive."
No wonder they say this is a society governed by law, hinting at his rampage in the Extraterritorial Ruins. This woman was strange and unpredictable, no wonder she was so calm during the Exotic scenario, her ntal strength is indeed strong.
Li Shu sincerely thanked him, "If it weren’t for Mr. Lu killing those two monsters, I wouldn’t have survived."
"How did you survive?"
Li Shu said, "After getting separated from them, I found a basent in a residential building and lived on the food and water in my backpack until the seventh day. When life was on the line, I didn’t expect to return to the real world."
Talking about it, she was still in shock. If it had been a little later, she might have really died.
Lu Ren nodded slightly, "You’re pretty lucky, not having been disturbed by polluted creatures, it seems that basent was very sealed."
"Yeah, almost suffocated ."
Li Shu felt a lingering fear, "I never thought I would go through sothing like this in my life."
"You’re fortunate and have a kind heart." After so thought, Lu Ren added, "But sotis, kindness can be the reason for your demise."
Li Shu was taken aback, "Can kindness be persecuted?"
Lu Ren didn’t explain whether kindness would be destroyed; it’s an undefined proposition.
Seriously, "If you encounter such an event again, maybe in the first few days, when food is sufficient, everybody will get along and help each other. But if it’s in a situation where food is scarce and water is rare, human nature will gradually change."
Having not experienced such cruel beatings, Li Shu was a bit dazed, "What will it beco?"
Lu Ren looked at her and replied, "It’ll beco cannibalistic."
Eating human flesh doesn’t purely an this; there are countless cases where people sacrifice their friends to save themselves, including his own experience—he couldn’t trust anyone entirely in the Exotic Realm, who knows if the other person is possessed.
After saying that, without paying further attention to Li Shu’s inability to accept, Lu Ren washed up, tidied himself and cooked so dicated food, feeling warm all over before finally lying satisfied on the sofa.
The dicated food was extrely expensive, costing nearly three hundred thousand in just one month due to all the expensive herbs.
This made him sowhat unable to accept, Lu Ren urgently needed to find a new source of inco.
As for being a sparring partner at the Power Burning Club, honestly, spending so much ti on these things is less beneficial than using it to practice Fist Technique.
Poor in literature but wealthy in martial arts!!!
Lu Ren sighed deeply; in only one month, it cost nearly three hundred thousand; at this rate, his ten million prize money might only last a year or two.
If he continued idly like this, he wouldn’t even be able to maintain this villa.
Lu Ren rubbed his hands, glanced at the villa he acquired.
Hmm... If money was short, he could consider selling this villa, the location is excellent and surely worth more than ten million!
Early the next morning, after finishing his morning exercise, Lu Ren went to a cold weapons shop near the Power Burning Club. Following Li Cunyi’s introduction, the shop owner asured Lu Ren, had him test the weight with iron, and asured the weapon’s convenient length.
The owner was sowhat surprised, "Looks like you are comfortable with any sword size."
Lu Ren chuckled, "I’ve practiced with them for a while."
"Which one are you best at, longsword, dium sword, or shortsword?"
Lu Ren was sowhat puzzled, "What’s the difference between these three?"
The owner explained, "For a longsword, the length is about one-and-a-half ters, depending on your height and arm span; excluding the hilt, the blade should be around one-point-four ters. This type of sword is generally used for battle and can even be called a horse-cutting sword, often used for battlefield skirmishes. The dium sword ranges from 94 to 101 centiters, while the shortsword is longer than a dagger, mostly used for close combat or assassination purposes."
Lu Ren pondered for a while and asked, "What do you recomnd?"
Looking at Lu Ren’s nearly 1.85 ters stature, the owner said, "I’d recomnd a dium sword, the longsword is too conspicuous, and I think martial artists of your kind prefer close combat. Long weapons don’t often have the advantage. I’ll custom make it based on your physique."
The owner seed quite familiar with people like them, obviously having customized weapons for many martial arts families, perhaps he’s from a family of Traditional Martial Arts himself.
The owner jotted down so data in a notebook, and then asked, "Have you practiced explosive type techniques?"
"Explosive type?"
"You don’t know?" The owner was a bit surprised, "Among martial artists, aren’t there so Fist Technique schools that can perform what’s called Heart Burst, to stimulate their potential, thus their muscles will bulge, increasing their physique size in a short ti for greater power and resistance, thereby improving their overall physical qualities?"
"Well, I haven’t practiced, you know, I use the sword."
Phoenix Falcon Fist mainly trains arm and back muscles, from a side view, it also offers benefits for sword use.
As for those techniques that can turn into a small giant, Lu Ren also wanted to train them, but sadly had no resources.
The owner nodded slightly, "You can co pick up the sword in a week."
Lu Ren stated, "I hope the material will be the best!"
"That’ll be a bit expensive."
