Vitality, Breakthrough!

[Skill: Taiji Fist]

[Level: Proficient (1/2400)]

[Effect: Whole-Body Power; Clear Power (qi and blood stimulation, fierce and forceful power)]

"Clear Power!"

On the panel, the skill information broke through, and Li Chengfeng's eyes brimmed with sharp light.

"Splash~"

Inside his body, Whole-Body Power surged and churned. An incomparably fierce force was born from within him, and corresponding to it was a thread of power like a loach, flowing through the muscles and tendons of his body.

"This is qi and blood?"

Li Chengfeng felt the thread of miraculous power born inside him with the breakthrough of Taiji Fist, as well as the incomparably fierce force generated within him under this power's urging. His heart thudded, and he could not help throwing a punch.

"Crack!"

In an instant, a crisp sound rang out in the air, as if someone had set off a firecracker from a distance!

But this was merely Li Chengfeng mobilizing the qi and blood in his body and throwing one Clear Power punch at the air!

"In the martial arts of my previous life, there was a saying that a thousand gold could hardly buy a single sound. Perhaps it referred to this kind of Clear Power!"

A gleam appeared in Li Chengfeng's eyes. Feeling this fierce force, his heart filled with delight.

Qi and blood were the standard for judging whether one had become a martial artist. Now that qi and blood had been born in his body, he could even use it together with the Whole-Body Power within him to strike out with this unique, fierce force.

All of it proved that he had already become a martial artist of this world!

He had truly been allowed to become a martial artist!

Sister-in-law... no, his wife's safety!

Their long-term livelihood from now on—he had it!

All sorts of emotions surged in his heart. Li Chengfeng's insides roiled wildly!

But after that extremely dense surprise calmed down, he discovered that with this one punch, the thread of qi and blood that had just been born in him had actually been depleted by more than thirty percent!

"Looks like Clear Power can't be struck out casually either, or it'll consume a lot of qi and blood."

Li Chengfeng's heart paused slightly, but then an intense hunger welled up from within his body, and his expression changed a little.

Raising Taiji Fist to the proficient level, producing the Clear Power effect, and cultivating qi and blood extracted even more energy from the body!

Li Chengfeng felt the thick hunger born within him, and his expression shifted.

Then he could not help looking toward the courtyard, at the large basin of pork and vegetables Liu Yuniang had finished cooking and carried out, covered with steaming cloth. He swallowed, then strode over impatiently, picked up his rice bowl, and began eating in great mouthfuls.

"Eat slower. Don't choke."

Liu Yuniang looked at Li Chengfeng wolfing down his food, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. Then she brought him a bowl of water and set it beside him, so that if he ate too quickly, he could wash it down.

"Gulp~"

Li Chengfeng stuffed great mouthfuls of pork and garlic shoots into his mouth, chewed them up, and swallowed. He picked up the teacup, tilted his head back, and washed down a mouthful, then lowered his head again and continued eating like mad.

Only after filling his stomach in one go did Li Chengfeng recover, slowly letting out a long breath.

But what made his brows crease slightly was that even after eating his fill, that faint sense of emptiness inside his body still remained.

"Breaking through to Clear Power consumed too much energy, and the speed of digesting food can't keep up with the speed of absorption?"

Li Chengfeng's heart gave a slight jump. Then he realized that before this energy his body lacked was replenished, he would probably have to nourish his body for two days and could not madly practice martial arts like before.

"That's just as well. I can take a breather and teach Yuniang martial arts."

Li Chengfeng's heart stirred slightly. Then he let out a breath, wiped his mouth, and went to one side to move his body around, lest he had eaten too much and sitting would make digestion difficult.

Seeing that the food had been eaten, Liu Yuniang pursed her lips in a smile and got up to clean up the bowls and chopsticks. After she had finished tidying them away, she saw that Li Chengfeng was still moving around to digest, so she first fetched water and washed herself.

Then she lit the oil lamp and was just about to move around by the bed along with Li Chengfeng to digest as well, when she saw Li Chengfeng stop his digestion exercises and come in to bathe quickly.

So Liu Yuniang stretched her arms and legs in the room. She had just finished bathing, and to avoid sweating fragrantly again, she had undone two buttons at her collar for air.

A glimpse of slender, creamy-white skin showed through the open buttons of her collar, connected to her snowy, delicate neck and cheeks, the softness vivid before his eyes.

"Splash~"

Li Chengfeng wiped himself down one last time, tossed the towel into the washbasin, then took a dry towel and wiped the water droplets from his body. When he turned back and saw the softness revealed on Liu Yuniang, heat rose faintly in his eyes. He stepped forward and pulled Liu Yuniang into his arms.

Her unique body fragrance surged into his mind with his breath, making his heart pound. Li Chengfeng pressed his mouth hard against that delicate snowy whiteness exposed within her loosened collar.

"Mm, Chengfeng, we still haven't digested yet~"

Liu Yuniang felt Li Chengfeng holding her and kissing her wildly with force. She tilted her head back, her eyes narrowing slightly. As her tender white neck stretched out, she spoke softly, and as she spoke, her tone and body both softened.

"Hehe, Yuniang, I'll help you digest right now."

Li Chengfeng raised his head, kissed Liu Yuniang's rosy lips hard, then looked at her flushed face and chuckled. He scooped her up and carried her straight onto the bed.

"Mm, Chengfeng... Chengfeng... mm..."

"..."

The next morning.

The sun rose, and Li Chengfeng got out of bed feeling refreshed.

Liu Yuniang could not get up with him. Only after Li Chengfeng had finished making the meal did she rise, wash up, and eat.

"Looks like it'll take another two days of rest."

After Li Chengfeng ate his fill, he looked at Yuniang sitting in front of him, eating in tiny bites, and sensed the state of his own body. Emotion stirred in his heart.

After a night of digestion, his physical condition had improved quite a bit, but there was still a sense of emptiness. He was afraid he would not be able to practice Taiji Fist today, so he could only silently endure the urge to start training at once.

"Yuniang, after you finish eating, I'll teach you martial arts."

As Li Chengfeng's heart stirred slightly, he lifted his stool and sat down beside Liu Yuniang, close against her, then looked at her with a beaming smile and spoke.

"Teach me martial arts? Can women practice martial arts too?"

Liu Yuniang froze, unable to help raising her head. She looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion.

"Everyone can practice martial arts. If you move your body more, in the future, if nothing else, your body will be lighter and healthier."

Li Chengfeng nodded and said seriously. As he spoke, he could not help letting his gaze drift toward Liu Yuniang's legs. He reached out and slowly lifted her trouser leg, revealing a stretch of fair, tender calf, smooth and delicate as jade.

His eyes shone. His palm reached out and gently stroked it, following the trouser leg up until he touched the even softer, smoother flesh of her thigh.

"All right, I'll listen to you."

Hearing Li Chengfeng's words, Liu Yuniang nodded, very obedient.

Then, seeing Li Chengfeng's hands roaming back and forth over her legs, she could not help pursing her lips. Her long, slender legs pressed together, and she said to him in a low voice, "When the weather gets a little warmer, I'll put on a skirt, and Husband can touch as much as he likes."

"What are you saying, my wife? Am I, Li Chengfeng, such a man as to be obsessed with beauty?"

Li Chengfeng spoke with a solemn expression. After saying that, his palm kneaded Liu Yuniang's leg. "I'm massaging my wife's muscles and tendons, clearing the flow of qi and blood!"

After saying that, he quickly added, "But if you could wear a skirt, then naturally I could help my wife massage the acupoints on her legs and clear her qi and blood even better."

"Husband is right."

Liu Yuniang pursed her lips in a smile and nodded obediently. "Then I'll eat more slowly, and Husband can take his time kneading."

"Good wife!"
