What Does Little Uncle Want?

There was actually a cheat!

Li Chengfeng opened his eyes in disbelief at the panel before him, waves crashing in his heart as surprise and exhilaration surged forth uncontrollably.

He might have been obsessed with martial arts, but that did not mean he was out of touch with the world. As a veteran novel reader, Li Chengfeng had devoured countless classics of every kind. How could he fail to understand that the indispensable divine artifact for transmigrators had arrived!

Without a cheat, how was he supposed to get by?

Li Chengfeng was overjoyed. The instant the words rose up, he immediately sensed the power in his waist and back with unprecedented clarity, able to mobilize it at will. His heart could not help but swell with excitement.

Unable to resist, he lowered into a squat, then lifted his buttocks and fiercely thrust his hips forward.

He arched his waist.

"Whoosh~"

[Bear Waist Stance Proficiency +1]

The panel message drifted past. Li Chengfeng instantly felt his control over the strength of his waist and hips deepen, and a spark of brilliance flashed through his eyes.

It really was a proficiency cheat!

"Now, I really have a much better chance of surviving in this world!"

Light bloomed in Li Chengfeng's eyes.

The reason Master Zheng and the Black River Gang could run rampant and dominate one region was precisely because martial artists existed.

"In my previous life, although I was obsessed with the martial path, my talent and knowledge were ultimately limited. With no one to guide me, there were inevitably places where I trained wrong, trained crooked, or went astray. And once I reached a certain point, I would fall into a bottleneck. But now that I have this panel, as long as I work hard, I can keep improving. Becoming a martial artist may not be impossible."

Li Chengfeng's heart stirred. Martial artists represented absolute control, power ordinary people could never resist. So long as one's realm was high enough and one's strength great enough, ethics and morals, principles and laws would all have to give way!

If he could become a martial artist too...

Li Chengfeng's heart skipped lightly. He could not help looking at Liu Yuniang, who was boiling a clay pot in the room, then heavily sank his hips and arched his waist.

"Phew~"

Li Chengfeng immediately thrust his hips forward.

[Bear Waist Stance Proficiency +1]

"Phew~ Phew~ Phew~ Phew~"

Li Chengfeng lifted his hips and arched his waist again and again, continuously thrusting at the spot in a natural stance.

With every repetition, the Bear Waist Stance's proficiency increased, his mastery of it deepened another layer, and the flexibility of his waist and hips steadily grew.

"Glug, glug, glug~"

The sound of boiling water came from the pot. Beside it, Liu Yuniang tended the fire while sneaking glances at Li Chengfeng thrusting his hips nearby, her pretty face flushing red.

Why was her younger brother-in-law always thrusting that thing?

Covering her pounding heart with one pale hand, Liu Yuniang recalled what her younger brother-in-law had come to persuade her about. The embarrassment on her face deepened. Lowering her head, she did not dare look at Li Chengfeng and could only keep feeding scraps into the fire.

Before long, the porridge in the pot was done, and the two blackened buns had warmed through as well.

Seeing that her younger brother-in-law was still making that shameful motion, Liu Yuniang blushed and lowered her head as she carried one large and one small lump of black dough, along with a large bowl of mixed-grain porridge streaked white and brown, to the stone by the bed.

She then went back and returned with a broken clay bowl filled with thin mixed-grain porridge. Setting the bamboo-strip chopsticks atop Li Chengfeng's bowl, she turned to call to the energetic Li Chengfeng, "Chengfeng, it's time to eat."

"Coming."

In the small open space inside the ramshackle wooden hut, Li Chengfeng immediately answered with a smile. Yet even as he spoke, he could not help fiercely arching his waist once more.

The moment he thrust, a sense of ease welled up within him. He could not help glancing at the panel before him.

[Skill: Bear Waist Stance]

[Realm: Proficient (1/200)]

[Effect: Integration; Flexibility (increased waist and hip flexibility)]

Feeling out his waist and hips, Li Chengfeng found that they really had become much more flexible. A strange gleam appeared in his eyes.

He then walked to the bedside and looked at the large black bun on his side, and the small black bun on Liu Yuniang's side.

Then he looked at the thick porridge in his bowl and the thin porridge in Liu Yuniang's bowl, his body pausing.

"You're injured, so eat more. I only wash clothes every day. Eating this much won't hurt me."

Still too embarrassed to lift her head because of Li Chengfeng's last motion, Liu Yuniang spoke softly, her face red.

As she spoke, she held the broken clay bowl and began eating the black bun with the thin porridge.

Li Chengfeng said nothing. He bit into the throat-scraping black bun and silently swallowed the thick porridge that was hard to choke down, relying only on the original body's instincts to force it all into his stomach.

He needed food to build strength now.

Once his body recovered, there would be plenty of good days for his sister-in-law.

"I'm done eating."

After quickly cleaning out the bowl and the food in his hands, Li Chengfeng felt he had regained some strength. He said something to Liu Yuniang, then returned to one side and continued arching his waist.

[Bear Waist Stance Proficiency +1]

Lines of information that only he could see floated out before his eyes one after another as Li Chengfeng trained with complete concentration.

This feeling of continuously improving intoxicated him.

He still knew quite a few martial arts techniques, but building a solid foundation was what mattered most now.

And the waist and hips concerned one's core strength—they were the most important!

Liu Yuniang cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks in the room. Seeing Li Chengfeng's movements, she immediately lowered her head, blushing as she went to wash the clay pot and bowls.

"Chengfeng, I'm going to wash clothes for Master Liu's household. A full day of washing earns half a bowl of coarse flour—enough to make two steamed corn cakes."

Before long, after washing everything, Liu Yuniang shyly came over and said this. She added with some concern, "You only just got out of bed. Don't push yourself too hard and damage your body."

"Yu Niang, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

Hearing this, Li Chengfeng turned his head to look at her and spoke earnestly.

He knew that during the days he had been sick, the reason he still had those black buns to eat was because Liu Yuniang had exchanged laundry work for coarse flour.

So he did not stop her, nor was he qualified to stop her. He merely told her to be careful in everything.

"I'm going together with Auntie Zhang and the others. It'll be fine."

Hearing Li Chengfeng's concern for her, Liu Yuniang revealed a gentle smile. After speaking, hesitation flashed through her eyes, but in the end, she said nothing. She only secretly looked at Li Chengfeng before turning and leaving the house.

"Phew~"

Watching Liu Yuniang leave, Li Chengfeng let out a breath, steadied himself, and continued gritting his teeth as he arched his waist.

[Waist and Hip Proficiency +1]

Standing beside the bed, he continuously arched his waist.

At last, he thrust once more.

[Skill: Bear Waist Stance]

[Level: Mastery (1/400)]

[Effect: Integration; Flexibility; Foundation Fortification (nourishes vital essence)]

"Phew~"

Looking at the panel information, Li Chengfeng could not help rubbing his waist. He found that the soreness in his waist and hips had suddenly eased with the appearance of the new effect.

Instead, they felt warm and comfortable.

"Another 400 thrusts isn't hard!"

Li Chengfeng's motivation instantly surged. He scooped up a ladle of warm water to drink, then returned and fiercely arched his waist.

Arch his waist, arch his waist, thrust his hips, thrust his hips.

The gangs were squeezing them dry. No money, no power—yet the opportunity was right before him. Only by thrusting with all his might could he make his sister-in-law happy!

I thrust, I thrust, I push, I push...

Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and silently thrust his hips with all his strength. His proficiency rose again and again, but even when he felt tired, he did not stop.

"..."

Time passed. Just when Li Chengfeng felt that his waist was aching from all the arching and his legs were so weak that he needed to hold the wall to walk...

[Skill: Bear Waist Stance]

[Level: Perfection (1/3200)]

[Effect: Integration; Flexibility; Foundation Fortification; Essence Cultivation (increases vigor); Force Transmission (your strength is transmitted more easily); Center of Gravity (your center of gravity becomes more stable)]

Another stream of information surfaced. Li Chengfeng instantly felt that his entire body had become much steadier.

Only then did his strength finally run dry. Clutching his incomparably sore and swollen waist, he bared his teeth in pain and lay down on the bed to rest.

"If it weren't for the panel's added effects, there's no way I could arch my waist this many times in one day."

As he lay on the bed, this thought emerged in Li Chengfeng's mind, giving him a completely new understanding of the panel's wonders.

Lying there, his waist and hips felt warm. At first, they were still painfully swollen and sore.

But after more than ten minutes, the swelling faded, leaving only the soreness.

Another half hour passed, and even the soreness had eased. He was simply out of strength.

After another half hour, Li Chengfeng felt that some strength had returned to him.

"This panel is truly miraculous. It can actually give martial arts basics—which in my previous life only had the effects of ordinary exercise—such miraculous results."

Li Chengfeng could not help getting down and walking around. Feeling that much of his strength had recovered, his eyes shone brightly.

But after looking at the panel information, he did not continue mindlessly thrusting his hips. Instead, he thought it over and decided to use the time to go out and try hunting.

"If I can catch some game and get a taste of meat, it can nourish my body too."
