No words all night!
He spent a day in reality and reported to Sun Bingchen. Before going to bed, he entered the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm and spent another day. There were no major ups and downs in life in both worlds and it was basically peaceful.
In the Divine Realm of Heavenly Dao, Yan Liqiang was still doing his duty on Tianqiao Peak, taking inventory of the warehouse every day and practicing in his spare time. Originally, Yan Liqiang thought that Manager Qiu would look for opportunities to cause trouble for him, but the situation was temporarily calm in the past few days. Manager Qiu was sent out by Hall Master Su to do something, and he had not appeared on Tianqiao Peak in the past few days, so Yan Liqiang could be said to have had some peace for the time being.
The vinegar he made in the Sword God Sect can be used in the next few days. Gu Zexuan has sold a lot of it in advance according to his method, but the goods have not been delivered yet. Gu Zexuan has been very excited every day these days, and he feels like his hands are cramping from counting thousands. According to the current trend, the silver that Yan Liqiang, Gu Zexuan, and Zhao Huipeng can share is about 4,000 taels. For several young people, this is a "huge sum of money", which makes Gu Zexuan and Zhao Huipeng very happy.
Similarly, Huo Bin and a few others who had made money with Yan Liqiang, after this cooperation, had a completely new respect for Yan Liqiang. Yan Liqiang gradually gathered a few people around him in the Sword God Sect, and he had initially gained a foothold.
Yan Liqiang has established a firm foothold in the Sword God Sect, but as a newcomer to Sun Bingchen, he still has to prove his strength among the guards around Sun Bingchen. Otherwise, even if he is an attendant beside Sun Bingchen and has a higher status than others, his days around Sun Bingchen will be difficult in the future.
In such an environment, a person cannot survive unless he shows some ability.
After Liang Yiji's reminder, Yan Liqiang took the opportunity of walking the dog that night to take a walk around the place where the people in the manor practiced martial arts in the morning. After looking at the environment of the place, he had an idea in his mind.
The next day, Yan Liqiang got up early, and after finishing his morning lessons on the internal and external exercises of the I Ching Xisui Jing, he brought his dog, dressed in training clothes, and came to the backyard of the manor.
It was still early at this time. Although there were already people waiting for an audience with Sun Bingchen outside the manor, the manor had not yet opened its doors, so there was no need to pay attention to them. Those waiting for an audience with Sun Bingchen also knew the rules and would not come to hand in business cards so early in the morning. The guards and ceremonial guards around Sun Bingchen, as well as Liang Yiji himself, had all gotten up at this time and were exercising on a lawn in the backyard of the manor.
Next to the lawn in the backyard is a garden. The garden and the lawn are full of people practicing martial arts. Some are practicing boxing, some are practicing weapons, and some are exercising their strength. There are some exercise equipment such as stone locks and iron locks on the ground next to the lawn, which are used for people to exercise. It is very lively with people laughing and joking.
There were only about a hundred people following Sun Bingchen, and the backyard was big, so it didn't feel crowded.
Liang Yiji himself was sitting on the top of the rockery in the garden, facing east, practicing breathing exercises.
As soon as Yan Liqiang walked into the backyard, countless eyes looked at him.
However, basically no one took the initiative to greet him, and everyone was not very warm. This was also the treatment for newcomers.
No one spoke, but many people's eyes fell on Yan Liqiang. They exchanged glances, ready to see what skills Yan Liqiang could show.
After wandering around the garden and lawn for a while, Yan Liqiang came to the place where a pile of stone locks and iron locks were placed next to the lawn.
Those stone locks and iron locks were of different sizes and weights and were placed in two rows. The lightest stone lock weighed 50 kilograms and the heaviest weighed several hundred kilograms.
Several guards were shirtless, revealing their muscular bodies. They were swinging a few stone locks around, looking quite strong. One of them, a sturdy man about 1.9 meters tall, was holding two iron locks, each weighing 100 kilograms, and dancing in a dazzling and vigorous manner.
However, among those iron chains, the two heaviest ones were placed on the ground and no one moved them.
The two iron chains were shiny black, each weighing 300 jin, or 150 kilograms. Among the guards beside Sun Bingchen, there were some who could lift iron chains of this weight, but, except Liang Yijie, there was hardly anyone who could wield them. And when training and building up strength with these stone and iron chains, the requirement was certainly not to be able to lift them like weightlifting, but to be able to wield them. Naturally, those who were not strong enough would not come to make a fool of themselves at this time.
When they saw Yan Liqiang coming to the iron and stone locks where he was training to build up his strength, many people who were training in the distance narrowed their eyes and slowed down their movements, preparing to see how heavy Yan Liqiang could lift. There were also a few people who even showed disdain when they saw Yan Liqiang preparing to build up his strength here.
Damn, how much strength can a kid who hasn’t even grown all his hair have
Fight him! We need to let this kid know that being with Lord Sun is not such a good thing, or he will act arrogantly in front of us in the future!
Several people in the distance winked at the big man who was dancing with the 100-jin iron chain, and the big man who was dancing with the iron chain immediately understood what he meant.
"Ah, Guard Yan is here to train himself as well..." The big man grinned at Yan Liqiang, "Guard Yan, how about trying this iron lock?"
The big man waving the iron chain said this, and without waiting for Yan Liqiang to say anything, he directly threw the iron chain in his hand towards Yan Liqiang.
The 100-jin iron chain drew an arc in the air and fell towards Yan Liqiang.
Fortunately, the big man still had some sense of propriety. The iron chain did not hit him directly, but fell from bottom to top in a parabolic trajectory. Although it was heavy, the speed was not fast.
If you are not strong enough, you will naturally dodge when you see the iron chain thrown at you, and you dare not reach out to catch it. In this way, Yan Liqiang's face will be smashed by the iron chain. But you can't find a reason to get angry with others. You probably don't even have the face to complain, and you can't catch anyone's handle. This is the method used by these old hands who have been in the army for a long time.
How could Yan Liqiang not understand what these people were thinking
Seeing the 100-jin iron chain falling, Yan Liqiang did not move at all. He stretched out a hand and grasped the handle of the iron chain firmly.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, he weighed the iron lock with one hand, then shook his head, "Hahaha, thank you very much, but this one is too light and not suitable for me. I'll give it back to you and I'll try another iron lock!"
As he spoke, Yan Liqiang threw the iron lock over with one hand.
The big man took the iron chain thrown by Yan Liqiang, but the force of the iron chain knocked him back several steps before he could stand firm. His face changed immediately.
As everyone looked on in disbelief, Yan Liqiang came to the two iron chains, each weighing 300 kilograms. He lifted one in each hand without any effort, and the two iron chains left the ground in an instant and were held in Yan Liqiang's hands.
Yan Liqiang slowly raised his hands holding the two iron chains, and then in everyone's eyes, he slowly lowered his hands and made a signature move similar to the cross rings in the rings exercise.
Seeing this scene, the surroundings fell silent, because everyone knew that playing with this iron lock is not difficult, it is not difficult to be fast, but it is difficult to be slow, and among all the movements, the movement of raising both arms horizontally requires a terrifying amount of strength.
Under the gaze of everyone, Yan Liqiang maintained the posture of holding the cross rings with the iron locks horizontally for about twenty seconds. Then, Yan Liqiang started to swing the two iron locks.
In just a moment, the two iron chains in Yan Liqiang's hands seemed to be alive, with a fierce sound of wind blowing on their faces, causing pain. Several people nearby who were gathering their strength quickly dodged, fearing that if Yan Liqiang let go of the iron chains, they would fly towards them and their lives would be in vain.
Yan Liqiang had never done such strength training before. At the beginning, he just wanted to show off his skills, pretend to be cool and shock everyone. But when he really started to swing, Yan Liqiang found that it felt great. He didn't feel any effort. Instead, he felt extremely comfortable all over. His whole body was like a dusty engine that was refueled and started again. He felt that all the muscles and bones in his body loosened up at once, just like taking a sauna. A force came out from his body, from every cell of his body, and the strength function of his whole body seemed to be rearranged and optimized in such exercise. He felt that he was getting more and more energetic as he danced.
Yan Liqiang danced for a full twenty minutes, sweating all over, and felt so comfortable that he almost wanted to roar.
"Bang..." With the last blow, he threw the two iron locks to the ground, and two large holes were instantly smashed into the ground, with smoke and dust billowing out.
After stopping, Yan Liqiang looked around and found that while he was immersed in the pleasure of dancing with the iron chain, a large group of people had gathered ten meters away from him. Everyone looked at him with an indescribable look. Even Liang Yiji, who was breathing before, stood in the circle, touching his chin with one hand, looking at him with a strange look...
The silence among the crowd was eerie.
“Cough… cough…” Yan Liqiang coughed twice, his pretentiousness kicking in. He looked at the two iron chains on the ground, shook his head gently, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, smiled bitterly, and said, “Alas, it’s still a little light, but it’s barely enough. It’s enough to make me sweat, but it took too long. I’ll just go take a shower. Let’s go, Huangmao…”
After saying this, Yan Liqiang calmly left with the yellow-haired man, leaving only his back to everyone.
