Kashu felt a little awkward. He was already in his forties in his two lives, and it was somewhat embarrassing to take off all his clothes in front of a woman. However, he couldn't beat Lisha, so he could only take off his clothes obediently.
Kashu was a little embarrassed, but Lisha looked calm. She even nodded and praised: "You have a nice muscular body. It seems that you have been training a lot. Keep it up. Now go in."
With a plop, Kaxiu sat down in the wooden barrel.
Suddenly, the scalding hot water enveloped me, and the intense heat was continuously penetrating through my skin into my body.
Is this a bath? It seems like there is nothing added to the water…
As soon as Kaxiu had some doubts in his mind, a surge of heat surged up from his stomach. It went up from his straight spine and rushed to his head. His brain suddenly made a buzzing sound.
He was slightly dazed, and his vision became blurry. After a moment, he came to his senses and felt as if there was a stream of water flowing through his body. It flowed rapidly along the veins, and was pumped vigorously every time it passed through the atrium. It circulated throughout the body at a faster speed than the previous time, and this cycle repeated over and over again.
"Steady your spirit and concentrate! The ninth move of the Elephant Soul Secret Technique!"
Suddenly a voice came as a wake-up call.
Kaxiu's vision was blurry and his consciousness was a little unclear. But he still subconsciously did as he was told, posing his whole body in a special posture.
As a result, the water flow around him seemed to speed up even faster. Kaxiu gradually became hot.
The burning sensation in my throat grew stronger and stronger, as if a line of fire was climbing up from my stomach to my mouth.
I don’t know how long this situation lasted.
Until a certain moment.
When the ball of heat passed through the heart again, the atria pumped and the water flow exploded. Instantly it spread to every corner of the body, scattering like stars in the sky.
Kaxiu felt that something in his body was being surrounded and nourished, and something was being squeezed out from the surface of his skin.
The confusion passed and he opened his eyes again.
In the quiet room, two dim rays of light shone through the windows onto the floor. A stream of fresh air slowly blew in through the gaps. Lisha, wearing a yellow combat outfit, sat cross-legged opposite.
Kaxiu could clearly feel that his five senses seemed to have become much sharper. He could even see the tiny dust in the air by focusing on some things, and he could also hear every move on the martial arts training ground more than a hundred meters away from the quiet room.
I stood up subconsciously, and the water fell down with a splash.
Suddenly remembering that he was naked and Teacher Lixia was still sitting opposite him, Kashuu sat down again with some embarrassment.
"it's over?"
Lisha, who was sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes.
"If you're ready, then why are you still sitting down? Look at how dirty the water you're soaking in is. Now hurry up and take a shower in the bathroom."
Hearing this, Kaxiu lowered his head and glanced at the wooden barrel. The originally clear and hot water inside had now turned cloudy and cold. The color had also turned black and red, as if a lot of debris had dissolved inside. There was also a layer of muddy dirt floating on the surface.
It must be very smelly, but he just couldn't smell it after staying there for so long. After all, it seems that Teacher Lisha opened the window...
"Go quickly." Lisha repeated again. She seemed to know that Kasu was a little shy because of being naked, so she closed her eyes and rested.
Kaxiu stepped out of the barrel, immediately took the clothes from the corner and ran to the bathroom and took a cold shower.
While taking a shower, he glanced at the upper right corner of his vision.
"Elephant Soul Secret Art: Spikes 68.2% (three layers in total)" → "Elephant Soul Secret Art: Spikes 74.0% (three layers in total)"
"Wind Fist: Gale 34.2% (three layers in total)" → "Wind Fist: Gale 37.5% (three layers in total)"
The change was not huge, but it was enough to equal Kaxiu's months of hard training. After all, improving the physique and the level of training in the Elephant Soul Secret Technique were just the side effects of the Wind Elephant Pill. Its main effect was to cleanse the essence and marrow, and improve one's aptitude and bones.
This magical pill is probably quite rare in the secret martial arts world. It is definitely a blessing for Kaxiu to get one.
After drinking cold water, he clenched his fist. The strength did not increase much, but it seemed that... Kaxiu punched out fiercely.
The arm moved forward rapidly and suddenly stopped in mid-air!
The water droplets above flew out under the action of inertia, and finally hit the wall with a loud bang.
From punching to retracting his fist, there was no warning. His control over his limbs and strength had greatly improved!
Suppressing his joy, Kashu dressed and returned to the quiet room, but Lisha was not there. After a few minutes, she came over with a clean wooden bucket and gently placed it beside him.
"Come here, I'll test your physique." Lisha waved her hand with a smile, seeming to be even more impatient than Kasu himself.
"Yes." Kaxiu walked over immediately.
Five minutes later, Kashu, who had been touched all over, stood there in a daze. Lisha walked around him and nodded.
"Not bad, not bad, really not bad! I originally thought that after you took the Wind Elephant Pill, your aptitude would be able to leapfrog one stage to the upper and lower root bones, which was already the limit. I didn't expect that you would leapfrog one more small stage and reach the upper and middle root bones! Well done!"
Lisha patted Kasu's shoulder vigorously to show encouragement.
Kaxiu complained in his mind: "It seems that the effect of the Wind Elephant Pill is not subjective. How much it can be improved depends on luck."
But I'm lucky and it seems to be working well.
Levi's aptitude has always been good, he is at the upper middle level. The real Kaxiu is not so good, at best he is only at the lower middle level.
If the effect of the Wind Elephant Pill could be brought back, the original body's aptitude might also be improved to the upper level? When Kaxiu thought of this, he had a question: Is there a bottleneck period in his martial arts practice? After all, the effects of his return to reality are directly superimposed.
Or is it that I don’t have a bottleneck, and the more I backtrack, the stronger I am…
This is a problem, but improving one's qualifications is obviously a good thing, as he will have to spend quite a bit of time in the real world.
Kashu came back to his senses. Lisha was looking at him with an expression of a proud disciple. "Although your physique has been improved to a superior level, you still need to practice regularly. Talent alone is not enough to achieve great things. You also need to study hard and practice hard! So, starting tomorrow, you don't have to be like your junior brothers and sisters. Just follow me and practice. I'll teach you something..."
"Yes." Kaxiu seemed to be the only one who could say this. He was not good at expressing his emotions. But he would remember whoever was kind to him, and when he was able, Kaxiu would repay them with gratitude.
"Okay, that's all for today. You can go back. Go back and have a good sleep." Lisha waved her hand, and Kasu nodded and left.
"Oh, right, prepare yourself in the next few days. The sect's leaders will most likely promote you to a core disciple, and you will need to go through a process."
