Chapter 162 The Second Layer of Diamond Iron Cloth Shirt, Martial Arts Competition

In the new year, it snows heavily.

Zhang Mansion.

There was snow falling outside, and the house was very lively.

Hong Ming, Fang Rou, Tie Rang, Su Chen and others gathered here to celebrate Li Yue's 100-day banquet.

It was rare for Li Mo to have any free time. During this period of time, Li Mo spent most of his time practicing, and the results were remarkable.

A few days later, his figure has undergone tremendous changes. He was happy and fat before, but now he has become leaner.

The most important thing is that under Su Chen's daily practice of "Enlightenment", he has stepped from the beginning of Jin Jin training to the minor training of Jin, and because he has assimilated the Vajra Jin, he is more powerful than the ordinary martial arts masters. .

Hong Ming and Fang Rou also had changes, but they were not as obvious as Li Mo.

Although Su Chen provided various resources for the two of them, neither Hong Ming nor Fang Rou was able to get into it.

Hong Ming's reason is that his energy and blood have declined due to his old age, and he cannot rely on the nourishment of Qi and Blood Pills alone in a short period of time. Fang Rou's talent is too poor, and even if he works hard, he can only make progress like water.

At the 100-day banquet, everyone was enjoying themselves. It was rare to get together in one place, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Chatting about all kinds of interesting things.

As he talked, the topic got involved in Su Chen. As the master, Hong Ming was considered one of his elders, and he couldn't help but began to urge Su Chen to get married quickly.

The others also made fun of Su Chen, which made Su Chen extremely ashamed.

He shouldn't be curious about what to do at the Hundred Days Banquet, so that everyone would directly bring the topic to him.

After the 100-day banquet, everyone's life continued as usual and seemed a bit busy.

Whether in the past life or now, there seems to be a New Year plot, and everyone wants to complete everything this year before the New Year.

The forces in the prefectural cities were no exception, and they all rushed to settle in Dafeng City and even the surrounding cities during this period of time before the year.

Now, both Dafeng City and the four surrounding cities have become extremely lively. Even the nearby towns have a liveliness unlike in previous years due to the influx of forces from all parties.

But within this excitement, there is chaos hidden.

A few days passed and it was New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Su Chen was directly invited by Hong Ming to go to his family for New Year's Eve dinner.

After preparing sacrifices in the morning and paying homage to his ancestors in the afternoon, Su Chen rarely had time to do some household chores.

Near evening, Tie Rang went to Hong Ming with some good wine, and then stayed to help.

The three grown men cooked a table full of dishes and chatted while eating and drinking.

A sleepless night.

New Year's Day.

Everyone started to pay New Year greetings.

Li Mo's whole family came, and Fang Rou's parents also came to pay New Year's greetings. Everyone had a fun day eating and drinking.

On the third day, Su Chen returned to Qiao Mansion.

I originally planned to go find Qiao Qiliang after wishing Qiao Renzhou New Year greetings, but I didn't expect that both of them were too busy to see anyone.

Arriving at the yard, Su Chen couldn't help but be startled when he looked at the piles of gift boxes.

After asking the maid, she found out that these were gifts from the major forces in the city.

Although the deputy leader of the Sihai Gang is a sinecure, no one dares to ignore Qiao Qiliang's connections easily.

Big forces like the Luo Family have the confidence not to give gifts, but for some small and medium-sized forces that want to develop in Fengbei City, they dare not not give gifts.

The gifts were not particularly valuable. Su Chen only accepted some of the more honest gifts (bank notes) and let the slaves divide the rest among themselves.

Back in the room, Su Chen picked up the messages left by Qiao Qiliang and read them, which showed the changes in various forces in the recent period.

The conflict between Hong and Yingsha was also mentioned.

Although the personnel from the Shadow Kill headquarters have not arrived yet, the relationship with the Hong family has become increasingly cold, and the two sides have been secretly competing with each other even during the New Year.

Neither of them had a good year.

In addition, there was another piece of news that caught Su Chen's attention, which was about the planning of Dafeng City and the four surrounding cities.

Qian Santong summoned the four city lords of Fengdong City, Fengxi City, Fengnan City, and Fengbei City in the name of the palace lord to discuss the construction of a new palace city after the year.

It is planned to use Dafeng City as the inner city and extend to four cities in all directions. These four cities will be connected to form the outer city of Xinfucheng.

This is a very large project that requires a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources.

This is also the reason why Qiao Renzhou has been so busy these days. He almost lives in Dafeng City and rarely goes home.

And Qiao Qiliang is more busy with the affairs of the Sihai Gang. The leader of the Sihai Gang is nominally Qiu Sihai, but the real decision maker is Qiao Qiliang.

So he needs to sit in the Sihai Gang and handle all matters.

Fortunately, his status as the son of the city lord made it easier for him to handle many things.

After reading these messages, Su Chen left again.

In the next few days, Su Chen went to Li Mo's, Fang Rou's, and Tie Rang's homes to eat and drink for a day respectively, and spent the rest of the time at Hong Ming's home.

It wasn't until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year that Su Chen returned to the courtyard.

Like last time, Su Chen opened the gifts and read the message.

"The Hong family and Ying Sha have stopped fighting?"

When he saw the latest news about the Hong family and Yingsha, Su Chen was stunned for a moment. The two parties actually compromised so quickly.

This made him slightly disappointed. He still thought that the two sides could fight.

It's best to have a fight like the three elders of the Hong family, where both sides fight to the death, so that he can benefit from it.

It's a pity that big forces like Hong's and Yingsha are all aligned with their own interests and will not fight to the death over such petty quarrels.

But Su Chen didn't care. Anyway, the fuse had been laid, and sooner or later it would be lit.

In the following time, Su Chen seemed to live in seclusion, paying little attention to outside news. Except for asking Li Mo to help him practice, he rarely went out.

He stayed in the yard every day, reading medical books, refining Qi and Blood Pills, improving the Fourth Generation of Ecstasy, and looking for a new critical point of Vajra Power.

Such madness has produced remarkable results.

First of all, he became more and more skilled in refining Qi and Blood Pills.

Nowadays, the number of Qi-blood pills produced is basically stable at five per batch, and the efficacy of Qi-blood pills is also stable at about 80%.

Secondly, the soul-inducing incense was further improved. It not only improved the time, but also broke through the twenty-meter distance limit. It also found a bug that only targets the soul-inducing incense and can be tracked based on the scent of the soul-inducing incense.

Su Chen named it the soul-attracting insect. As long as the distance is no more than one kilometer and the time is no more than half an hour, Su Chen can use the soul-attracting insect to find the target. And unlike the incense-inducing insect, which will die after use, he can Use the soul attracting insect until it dies naturally.

Finally, there was the breakthrough of the Diamond Iron Cloth Shirt. After half a month of practice, Su Chen finally met the needs of the panel and upgraded the Diamond Iron Cloth Shirt to the second level.

Its own realm has also reached the level of the second realm of moving blood, and its qi and blood have increased significantly, and when it rises, it is as thick as smoke.

However, what Su Chen didn't expect was that this should have been a happy thing, but after it was improved, the critical point he had found earlier no longer applied.

Not only that, the power of the diamond iron cloth that was promoted to the second level was doubled again, and it was doubled several times in a row, making Su Chen suddenly go against the grain in the use of power.

For example, if he mobilizes ten points of strength now, he can only score six points, but his power is still ten points.

The power becomes stronger and stronger, and the power used becomes stronger, but only about half of the power is really effective.

If he continued to improve, Su Chen couldn't believe what would happen to his strength.

You can't mobilize 10% of your strength. If you only hit one point, the power is still 10%, right?

Although this sounds powerful, the usage rate is frighteningly low.

This is obviously not the effect Su Chen wants.

However, until now, the Shadow Killing Headquarters has not yet completed its migration, and he has no channel to purchase the Mysterious Heart Magic Style.

In order to quickly find the best critical point for the current force to take effect, Su Chen thought of other ways and kept doing experiments on Li Mo, torturing Li Mo to pain and pleasure.

The painful thing was that Su Chen gave him more and more strength each time. In order to help him assimilate the strength as quickly as possible, Su Chen accompanied him in sparring.

The happy thing is that I can see my progress every day. As the energy in my body becomes more and more, my strength becomes stronger and stronger.

Today, although Li Mo is still a little accomplished at practicing Jin, his strength and concentration of strength have reached the level that should be achieved when practicing Jin at a high level. It can be said that he has made rapid progress.

Time soon came to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

The entire Dafeng City became extremely lively, and the streets and alleys were crowded with people, forming an endless sea of ​​​​people.

Qinzhou heavyweights such as Xinghai, the main branch of the state, Santong, the main branch of Dafeng City, and Qiao Renzhou, the lord of Fengbei City, all gathered at the gate of the city. Behind them, there were representatives of top forces such as the heads of the five major clans.

At this moment, they all stood solemnly, staring forward eagerly. Even if they waited for a long time, they did not show any signs of impatience.

When they saw the huge team not far outside the city, everyone's expressions became solemn.

"coming!"

Like a long dragon, it lay at the end of everyone's sight.

As the team poured into the city in a steady stream, everyone's eyes were focused on the carriage with a black python engraved on it.

"Welcome to the Palace Master."

The carriage stopped, and the air around it seemed to become quiet. Countless eyes looked at the majestic figure walking out of the horse, and they all lowered their heads and said respectfully.

The head of the mansion, Gan Ruyuan, has a kind and gentle face, with a calm look on his eyebrows, and an elegant and calm aura around him, but no one present can despise him.

He slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked around, his calm eyes scanning the whole place, bringing an abyss of pressure to people.

"Get up."

Immediately, he turned his eyes to Qian Xinghai and others and said lightly.

"yes!"

When everyone heard this, they all felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

The palace lord arrived in Dafeng City. This day was destined to be an extraordinary day, which meant that from today on, Dafeng City would open a new chapter.

However, this day had little impact on Li Mo.

Zhang Mansion, in the courtyard.

The two figures intertwined, their fists and kicks clashed, and the sounds of contact came and went.

Bang bang bang!

Li Mo's face was solemn, and he punched his face, but Su Chen caught it with his palm and forced him back a few steps while his arm trembled.

"Junior brother, the more I fight with you, the more unfathomable I feel." Li Mo shook his soft and numb arms, shook his head and laughed.

Su Chen obviously didn't use any strength, but the blow left him unable to resist.

This was because Su Chen deliberately let him do it. I really don't know how powerful Su Chen would be if he went all out.

Su Chen did not pay attention to Li Mo's words, but said: "Tomorrow is the competition between you and Huang Li. With your current strength, you are not afraid of Huang Li."

After a month of hard training, Li Mo's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Just a few days ago, he even made up for his final shortcomings.

Now he has successfully reached the peak of his strength training, and with Su Chen as his training partner, he has become extremely powerful both in terms of strength and actual combat ability.

According to Su Chen's estimation, in a one-on-one situation, Li Mo could win even if he had perfect training.

With such strength, not to mention one Huang Li, it is no problem to deal with three Huang Li.

"Thanks to you."

Li Mo said with a hint of gratitude, without deliberately saying any words of gratitude. He had already kept this kindness in his heart.

Su Chen waved his hand, not intending to continue sparring, and asked Li Mo to have a good rest. He would accompany Li Mo to participate in the competition tomorrow.

After the two had a conversation, Su Chen returned to Qiao's mansion, but he didn't expect that Qiao Qiliang had been waiting for a long time.

After not seeing each other for many days, Qiao Qiliang became a little thin. When he saw Su Chen, he smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the competition between Li Mo and Huang Li. How is the situation with Li Mo?"

"It shouldn't be a problem to deal with Huang Li." Su Chen replied. Seeing Qiao Qiliang's serious expression, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Qiliang rubbed the bridge of his nose and said with a worried look on his face: "The Luo family has been a little aggressive recently. Although it is said to be a bet, in fact they have not stopped expanding their power. I am worried that they will cheat tomorrow."

Su Chen said that Li Mo would win the martial arts competition tomorrow, and Qiao Qiliang naturally believed it. However, based on Luo's recent actions, he did not think that Luo would be so willing to admit defeat tomorrow.

"Then let's see what tricks they will use tomorrow." After a pause, Su Chen asked again, "By the way, are you going tomorrow?"

Qiao Qiliang nodded without hesitation.

Luofu.

With a creak, the door opened and Luo Sheng walked in.

"Uncle Yu, are you looking for me?"

Luo Yu heard the sound and hummed, then raised her head, looked at Luo Sheng, and asked, "I heard that you made a bet with Qiao Qiliang?"

"I thought Uncle Yu, you were looking for something from me, but it turned out to be this!"

Luo Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and then chuckled, "To be honest with Uncle Yu, this is indeed the case. That kid Qiao Qiliang is targeting us everywhere, and has also established a Sihai Gang to restrain the Luo family. I want him to see this competition. We are awesome!"

"Are you sure?" Luo Yu asked after being silent for a while.

Luo Sheng was full of confidence: "Uncle Yu, don't worry. Recently, Huang Li's strength has made a breakthrough. He has made a breakthrough from Jin Jin Dacheng to Perfect Jin Jin. Li Mo is just a newbie in Jin Jin training. He wants to compete with Huang Li. To strike an egg against a stone."

Hearing this, Luo Yu nodded lightly: "This matter is of great importance. No matter what, we can only win and not lose. I will take time to watch the game with you tomorrow. If I win, you will make a contribution to my Luo family."

"Yes." Luo Sheng said happily.

Although he is one of the direct descendants of the Luo family, there are many direct descendants of the Luo family. If you want to stand out, you have to rely on your own abilities.

This is also the reason why he traveled thousands of miles to Fengbei City in advance, hoping to build a career for the family, accumulate merit, and improve his salary and status.

Only in this way can you become stronger, have a higher say in the younger generation of Rock family, and enjoy more resources.

If he can win this competition, his status in the Luo family will definitely rise a lot, far surpassing the other direct descendants of the Luo family. Maybe he can also become one of the 'seeds'.

Afterwards, Luo Yu gave Luo Sheng a few simple words, and Luo Sheng stood up and left.

The next morning.

Qiao Qiliang, Su Chen and Li Mo went to Luo Mansion. The people from Luo Family had been waiting for a long time.

Everyone followed the slaves to the front yard, where a special arena for martial arts competitions was set up.

Huang Li was currently sitting on the ring with his eyes closed as if concentrating. When he saw Li Mo, he looked at him slightly provocatively.

"Uncle Yu, he is Qiao Qiliang."

When Luo Sheng saw Qiao Qiliang and his party, he lowered his voice and introduced them to Luo Yu who was standing beside him.

"Who's that guy next to him?"

Luo Yu frowned and stared at Su Chen. He was surprised to detect a dangerous aura from Su Chen's body.

Luo Sheng was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Luo Yu was asking Li Mo. After seeing Luo Yu's eyes, he suddenly said: "His name is Su Chen, and he is the deputy leader of the Sihai Gang."

"To be able to sit in the position of deputy gang leader at such a young age must be something special." Luo Yu said with a hint of surprise.

Luo Sheng didn't reply, Qiao Qiliang and others were already walking towards them.

"Everyone is here, the game can begin." Qiao Qiliang said straight to the point.

"Okay!" Without the cynicism before the competition, Luo Sheng just responded with a smile.

Li Mo nodded to Su Chen, and then walked onto the ring. Upon seeing this, Huang Li stood up from the chair. His not-so-tall body was impressive.

After the two sides sat down, one of Luo's men shouted: "The competition begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Li, who was ready to make a move, took action suddenly.

Although he was confident that he could defeat Li Mo, this competition was crucial to both him and Luo Sheng, so he spared no effort from the beginning and must strive to defeat Li Mo in the shortest time.

Li Mo also didn't dare to be careless. The moment he saw Huang Li take action, he mobilized the strength in his body. The strength like a stream instantly surged into his arms, making the ordinary iron fist show extraordinary power.

boom!

The two of them punched each other head-on, and the impact of their fists made a sound like the roar of a golden bell.

Under the strong rebound force, the two of them each took a few steps back and came to the edge of the ring, barely able to stabilize their bodies.

"Achievements in practicing strength!" Huang Li said almost losing his voice, ignoring his slightly numb palms.

He couldn't believe it at all. The guy who was invincible a month ago was now only one level below him.

Li Mo didn't speak, his face was solemn, and he also expressed Huang Li's state: "Practice your strength to perfection!"

Offstage.

Luo Sheng, who was still confident of winning, frowned slightly when he saw Li Mo showing off his strength.

"Hmph, even if you hide your strength, you will still be defeated today!"

After a while, Huang Li calmed down and rushed out like a cheetah, attacking Li Mo with increasingly fierce moves like a violent storm.

Li Mo snorted coldly, his momentum was like a rainbow, his arms danced, and he walked around like a spiritual dragon, shaking the world with his fists.

Bang bang bang!

The two figures flashed vertically and horizontally, and the battle was fierce. It took more than ten breaths to fight for hundreds of rounds.

There were traces of the battle between the two people everywhere on the ring.

The experience of hard training for many days was like a tide of blessing to the soul, and then it all turned into instinct, integrating with Li Mo at this moment.

He just heard him yell loudly, his eyes were calm, he seized the opportunity in subtlety, and punched suddenly.

The punch was surging with force, stirring the air and making a crackling sound.

In just an instant, the sound suddenly stopped, and then the sound of fists and flesh clashing resounded.

Bang!

Huang Li groaned, and suddenly retreated, dragging a long trace on the wooden board. He was only a few centimeters away from landing on the ring!
