Pa!

Just as Guo Zhong thought he had victory within his grasp, he suddenly felt a sharp gust of wind from a palm strike, lightly landing on his head.

In an instant, a tremendous force surged like a tide, and his head immediately buzzed with a series of booming sounds.

The world turned upside down in that instant, the sun, moon, and stars flashed by one by one, and finally, everything went black, as if he had crashed into the sea. His body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes rolled back, and his head was heavy and dizzy.

In the eyes of the crowd, however, it was a very strange scene. Just a moment ago, Guo Zhong was still full of vigor and aggressive, but the next moment, after they heard a "pa" sound, they saw Guo Zhong's body fly out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so that Guo Hao and the others only reacted after Guo Zhong fell to the ground.

"Father!"

"Master!"

Guo Hao and the others were shocked and rushed to Guo Zhong's side, asking with concern, "Father, are you alright?"

"Don't move, it's, it's going to break!" Guo Zhong said dazedly.

Hearing this, Guo Hao and the others immediately stopped moving.

"You lost!" At this moment, the strong man's voice rang out.

Hearing this, Guo Hao opened his mouth, but finally fell silent and did not speak.

"Cough cough, wait a moment, I'm fine, help me up, I can still fight!"

However, Guo Zhong, hearing these words, was unwilling to accept it. He braced himself, wanting to fight the strong man again.

He stood up shakily with the support of Guo Hao and the others, and then pushed away their hands. But as soon as he pushed them away, his body slumped down like a pile of mud.

"Forget it, we admit defeat!"

Seeing this scene, Guo Hao sighed helplessly and conceded defeat for Guo Zhong.

Guo Zhong did not speak, a trace of unwillingness appearing on his face. If he had known that this guy had so much strength, he would have directly used his jingli.

Although he might not have been able to defeat the opponent, he wouldn't have lost face so badly as he did now!

The strong man nodded, accepting Guo Hao's concession.

Then, in front of everyone, he bent down and put the hundred taels of silver that Guo Hao had taken out into his pocket.

At the same time, he took out the ten taels of silver note from the money bag he brought and left triumphantly.

Seeing this scene, whether it was Guo Zhong or Guo Hao and the others, they were all filled with question marks, looking at each other, somewhat not understanding the strong man's intention.

Could it be that the other party was being merciful, knowing that making money was not easy, so he deliberately left ninety taels of silver?

For a time, all kinds of guesses floated in everyone's minds, but overall, it was stable and positive, with joy amidst the shock.

"Go and take a look."

At this time, Guo Zhong, who had recovered slightly, spoke. Although a hundred taels had been taken away, if they gained another ninety taels, overall, they would not have lost much.

He could accept it!

Guo Hao nodded, got up and picked up the money bag, opened it, and his face suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?"

Guo Zhong immediately noticed this change, causing his heart to tighten as he hurriedly asked.

Guo Hao didn't speak, but instead placed the money bag in front of Guo Zhong. Guo Zhong took a closer look and immediately exclaimed, "It's all rocks!"

"Outrageous!" Guo Zhong, realizing what had happened, was furious. His eyes turned red, and his nostrils flared with anger as he roared, "Insolent fool, how dare you deceive me!"

As he cursed, his Qi and blood rushed to his head, causing Guo Zhong to feel dizzy. He fainted on the spot.

"Father!"

Su Chen, having left the Guo Family Martial Hall, was in a cheerful mood, clutching the unexpectedly acquired one hundred taels of silver.

He had originally intended to only challenge the Martial Hall to avenge Hong Ming, but they insisted on a wager.

Left with no choice, he had to use a silver note and some rocks to impersonate one hundred taels of silver.

Fortunately, they didn't examine it closely, allowing him to get away with it. In the end, he even won their one hundred taels of silver, which was an unexpected delight.

"With this one hundred taels of silver, I can upgrade my Ape Arm Skill."

Finding a secluded corner, Su Chen changed back into his original clothes, then turned and left, planning to return and top up his Ape Arm Skill.

Half an hour later, Su Chen returned home from the Money Shop, impatiently recharged, and activated Easy Mode:

[Easy Mode Activated: Swing your arms five hundred times to train the Ape Arm Skill to its limit.]

An hour later, the panel refreshed:

[Martial Arts: ... Ape Arm Skill (Limit)]

Like the Turtle Shell Skill, the Ape Arm Skill, having reached its limit, could no longer be upgraded through topping up.

"Only the Bone Shrinking Skill is left!"

Su Chen looked at the panel, lost in thought.

On the panel, besides the Iron Cloth Skill, only the Bone Shrinking Skill had not reached its limit. It also required one hundred taels of silver, but Su Chen wasn't in a hurry. For now, the Bone Shrinking Skill was sufficient.

Immediately, Su Chen turned his attention to the Raging Wave Saber Technique. As his strength increased, he used the saber technique less and less.

Although he had initially learned the saber technique with the intention of ambushing, if he continued like this, he might not use it in the future.

"Moreover, as long as I find a complete saber technique, maybe I can create a new saber technique like the Iron Wire Fist merged with the Iron Sand Palm. But a complete saber technique is really not easy to find!"

Su Chen pondered, but couldn't think of where to find a complete saber technique.

After all, even fist and foot techniques could be closely guarded secrets of small Martial Halls, let alone methods involving weapons.

"Forget it, I'll think about the saber technique later when I have the chance. For now, I should focus on improving the Iron Cloth Skill."

Now that the Ape Arm Skill had reached its limit, Su Chen only needed to find ten portions of Qi Blood Powder to directly activate Easy Mode.

Compared to finding a complete saber technique, this was obviously faster, so he would naturally choose this first.

"As for the Qi Blood Powder, Master Hong probably won't be able to provide it to me in the short term, but it doesn't matter, I have the nameless pill formula. I just don't know if the Red Blood Grass is still in short supply. I'll ask about it tomorrow."

Su Chen felt a little guilty about always asking Hong Ming for Qi Blood Powder, so he planned to find the medicinal materials himself to concoct it.

After making up his mind, Su Chen lowered his head to look at his arm. There wasn't a very noticeable change in the skin, but the degree of hardness made Su Chen look at it with new eyes.

He gently patted his arm, and immediately felt a slight rebounding force on his palm.

"What strong defense!"

Touching the skin on his arm, Su Chen felt as if he was touching a layer of copper skin.

With a little force, the skin instantly tightened, as if countless pieces of steel were connected to each other to create the skin, the defense was amazing.

With a tearing sound, a strike of his arm hit a rock, and the rock instantly cracked and scattered on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Su Chen was secretly shocked: "Not only has the defense become stronger, but even the attack power and strength have become stronger."

Then he used the Turtle Shell Skill, and a layer of Black Armor immediately covered his body.

Although there was no Black Armor on his arms, the power of attack and defense was not weaker than the Black Armor at all.

After another round of testing, Su Chen contentedly stopped and thought to himself:

"In combination with the Turtle Shell Skill, now my whole body, except for my head and feet, has almost no weaknesses, so my next goal is to improve the attack and defense power of my head and feet!"
