As they were walking,the older of the little boys turn his face up to Xi Chen and suddenly said "Big Brother you look different today and your hand is smooth and tough at same time".
This caught Xi Chen off guard.'To think that this little one can feel it.He may some talent in martial arts'.Then he look at the youngest going with curious eyes darting left and right.Xi Chen shacks his head with a smile.
'May be when they turn 15, I can teach them the techniques' Xi Chen suddenly thought of the technique he received when he breakthroughs to the skin tempering realm(Fiery Body Tempering Technique).
Imagine Cloud Restaurant.
The group of three enter the restaurant and looks around to find a table.After finding a table near a window of the restaurant and order a set of dishes with three bowls of rice for each one.
When they are eating,Xi Chen also listened to some rumors and simple informations.
One man from nearby table spoke to his companion "Do you know the genius from the Li family breakthrough to the Organ Strengthening Realm yesterday"
"What he is already at that realm. Man it's not fair. I heard he is only 19 this year"
"But I also heard he is chasing Miss Lin.And he will propose in the spring lantern festival".
"You mean the genius from the Lin family,one of the two famous beauty"
'Li family and Lin family' Xi Chen thought as he eats.
'Man he is only 19 and already at Organ Strengthening Realm damnn..' Xi Chen then look at himself,he is only at Skin Tempering Realm.Then he thought of the panel and regain he simple confidence.
He the urges his siblings "Eat quickly,I have things to do at the home".
The two little boys node and eat quickly like they would not left even a single strain of the food.
On the way home,Xi Chen bought some wild boar meats even though they are expensive he needs it.Then he looks at his money pouch now hanging without a single soul inside it and sigh.
'Martial arts is expensive' he sigh 'May thats why riches in martial arts and poor in study.That saying really true in this world of chaos'.
As he complained about the expenses,the trio return home unknowingly.
As soon as he reached home, Xi Chen put the meat in the kitchen and starts cooking dinner even though its early.After cooking dinner,he said to his little siblings to eat themself when they are hungry.As he is going to prepare for his breakthrough,the thought of forgetting dinner crossed his mind.Thats why he cooked the dinner in case he takes too long,so that his younger siblings would not go hungry.
Then he went to the now repaired practicing sac and start to prepare for his breakthrough.He looks at the panel.There his combat Power is too low.Even though he is a skin tempering realm,his combat power is a simple one.
"May be this simple fist art will evolve into a greater combat power fist art" he said to himself.'I really hope so' he hoped.
Xi Chen start punching the sac.As he started punching he was surprise to find that his force and power is way greater than before his breakthrough.He feels like he can take out 15 of himself before the breakthrough.
'So thats why even skin tempering realm martial artist looks at common people with the eyes of disdain' he thought as he keep punching the straw-sand sac.
He keeps punching for 4 hours then stop to take a breath.'How long will I have to keep punching this thing'. His knuckles are red like blood from all the non-stop punching.
'No I have to breakthrough today.Who knows when something bad will happen at this town or at my own home.I can not risk that.I must have some power to protect me and my family from trouble' with this sudden urges of the thoughts Xi Chen start punching fiercely at the straw-sand sac.
Xi Chen now punched the straw-sand sac non-stop for 5 hours already.As he punches the sac his body start to be red all over his body. And steams rises from his body as he feels like his body in a pool of hot lava.But he keeps punching through the pain as he knows this is the moment of breakthrough he is waiting for.
As he keeps punching,suddenly everything went still and silent.Even his punching stops with his fist one inch away from the harden sac.Then his face lit up with joy as new information of a new technique transfers to his mind.
"Huh... now I am through the first tough layer of this fist arts" he murmured. Then he call out the panel.
Panel-
Martial Technique:Ten Fist Arts(1/200).
Cultivation Technique:Fiery Body Tempering Technique(1/100).
Martial Realm:Skin Tempering Realm.
Combat Power Realm:Top Skin Tempering Realm.
'Ten Fist Arts..huh. Capable of defending and attracting at same time.And when punch it feels like ten fist punch at same time.Nice one' Xi Chen his fist art.
"Now how I should prepare to reject the proposal at the lantern festival" Xi Chen starts planning how to reject the girl from the neighbouring street.
