Chapter 156: 0135 Iron Crotch Cultivation (3k for monthly ticket, please subscribe)

Back to the main story.

Anyone who advances to the top thirty in the Su City branch’s Hidden Dragon competition can qualify for next January’s Super Hidden Dragon Tournament, held at the Dragon City Martial Arts University headquarters, to compete with the top talents from the five branches and the headquarters for the title of "Top Ten Dragons of Dragon City."

The so-called "Top Ten Dragons of Dragon City" are the top ten from the Hidden Dragon competition, and they essentially represent the highest standard of all students under 35 years old at Dragon City Martial Arts University for that year.

Ten of the strongest Martial Artists and ten of the most powerful fighters!

They are the notable figures of the school this year and the objects of admiration and pursuit for young men and women. They can represent the school in the "Hundred Schools Martial Arts Contest" and the "Peak Martial Arts Tournament" held by the Martial Arts Department and a coalition of 24 schools.

The former is a celebration for all Martial Arts Universities with even higher attention.

The latter is a game for Top-Level Martial Arts Universities with substantial relevance.

The age requirement for both is under 35 years old.

Lu Chenzhou has no chance in the Hundred Schools Martial Arts Contest and Peak Martial Arts Tournament this year.

With his current Eighth Rank Cultivation, he’s far from making the Top Ten Dragons of Dragon City.

According to the information he saw on the school forum, last year’s Martial Artist group in the Top Ten Dragons all had the strength of the "Extreme Limit Realm," and Wang Hongdao has a chance to compete this year.

The Su City branch has just been established and started recruiting, and the students’ foundations are too weak to compete with those geniuses at the headquarters; the other branches don’t have any impressive figures either.

If he really becomes one of the Top Ten, Lu Chenzhou will gain renown at Dragon City Martial Arts University. It’s the same with other top universities. With titles like "Emei’s Ten Heroes," "Dragon and Tiger’s Ten Truths," "Kunlun’s Ten Swords," each one is more formidable than the last.

...

July 1.

Qi-Blood Measurement Room.

[Qi Blood Value 4.66...]

Leaving the measurement room, Lu Chenzhou looked at the 45 Great Merits on his campus card.

"Let’s learn ’Iron Crotch Skill’."

There were several things he remembered vividly.

One was Wang Caiying’s ’Black Dragon Eighteen Hands’ technique called "desperate plunder."

Second was Leopard Woman’s devastating kick to the cultist.

Third was Blood Feather Demoness’s Yin Slash.

From this, it was clear that women, as creatures, tend to attack the groin subconsciously.

Protecting ’little brother’ starts with me!

...

Chen Jiu pushed the door open and asked Lu Chenzhou,

"What’s going on? Are we still scheduling combat training?"

He was perplexed internally; even if the Heavenly King himself came, it was freaking impossible to advance from Great Success to Perfection in the Arhat Skill in half a month.

If someone actually could, they could go suppress the Cangtian Dragon King in the clouds. Cults, Void Things, Black Knights with Prosthetics... smash all their goddamn teeth out!

"Teacher, I would like to learn ’Iron Crotch Skill.’"

As soon as Lu Chenzhou finished, Mrs. Chen laughed out loud as she was playing with the twins in the living room. She came to the doorway, looked at Lu Chenzhou, then glanced at Chen Jiu.

"This kid really is like you."

Chen Jiu said seriously,

"You’ve thought this through, ’Iron Crotch Skill,’ although it is a third-rate Hard Qigong, is quite special to practice and more difficult to learn than ’Iron Sand Palm’ or ’Iron Leg Skill.’

If you do want to learn this Martial Art, before you are proficient, you will need to find a professional for your combat training. If you hit the wrong spot, well, you know..."

"Please teach me, teacher."

"To learn a new Martial Art, the cost is a flat rate of 10 Great Merits, including 8 lessons. With your talent, it should be enough for a beginner. If there are extra lessons, I will allocate them for combat practice."

"Okay."

After deducting 10 Great Merits, Lu Chenzhou was taken by Chen Jiu to the attic.

Mrs. Chen couldn’t help but remind him,

"Husband, you should be careful."

’Iron Crotch Skill’ is not like the others.

With other Cross Training, at most it was a hundred days to heal a bone fracture.

Messing up here could mean the end of one’s lineage, at the lightest.

Though technology has advanced today, prosthetics for delicate parts are still a problem.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got it figured out."

...

Training room.

Chen Jiu first introduced Lu Chenzhou to the acupoints near the crotch area and human anatomy knowledge. He took off his shirt to reveal his upper body, shining with Golden Light, and said,

"The practice of ’Iron Crotch Skill’ is divided into Soft Groin Skill and Hard Groin Skill. Soft Groin Skill is the method of ’Contraction of the Yang into the Belly,’ and it’s best to practice at a younger age, with a Pure Yang Child Body being optimal."

"I’m still a virgin."

"Uh... Although you are a virgin, you are a bit old. It’s extremely difficult for an older virgin to practice Soft Groin Skill, and ’Contraction of the Yang into the Belly’ has some side effects for men. My advice is to follow the path of Hard Groin Skill."

"I’ll listen to the teacher."

Chen Jiu continued,

"The practice of Hard Groin Skill involves working with the body’s acupoints. The stages include pushing the abdomen, separating Yin and Yang, kneading the abdomen, twirling the cord, kneading the spheres, pushing the spheres, twirling the spheres, hanging sands, hammering the spheres, hammering the root, hammering the kidneys - a total of 11 steps. I will teach you the specific practices in these 8 lessons using a human body model. If you understand, you can try it out in the Martial Arts Room next door. As for the combat practice, I will only take care of striking your regular parts; you’ll have to handle the private parts. You can start slower and gentler at the beginning; ’Iron Crotch Skill,’ although a third-rate Hard Qigong, has a difficulty higher than that of Arhat Skill just to begin because it requires tempering private parts. Once proficient, progress will quicken, with no difference from normal third-rate Hard Qigong."

"Thank you, teacher."

This kind of Martial Arts training is, after all, somewhat inconvenient.

In the days that followed,

Lu Chenzhou attended lessons at Chen Jiu’s house every day.

Having practiced ’Iron Crotch Skill’ for so long, Lu Chenzhou was one of the few who wanted to train it. Chen Jiu’s usual teaching focused on Dragon Form, and Hard Qigong was not popular. Consequently, he taught with extra care, as training Hard Qigong in this era was a matter of true love.

It took Lu Chenzhou six lessons to reach the beginner level of ’Iron Crotch Skill.’

He had thought he was pretty useless.

Chen Jiu was shocked when he learned about it.

It had taken him a full ten lessons just to get to the beginner level.

That day, Chen Jiu said,

"Your cross-training talent is... quite impressive. I’ll schedule your remaining two lessons for sparring, and afterwards you can decide whether to purchase more lessons based on your actual situation."

He knew that Lu Chenzhou had no money.

But his own time was precious too, and he couldn’t offer sparring sessions for free.

"Teacher, if you have the time, I’d like to continue with another ten lessons."

Lu Chenzhou didn’t plan on saving his Great Merit. There was no need to hoard it.

Apart from within the school, there was no place to use Great Merit. Whatever could be bought with Great Merit could also be bought with money, and if he really ran short on Great Merit, he could always exchange money for it.

The main concern was his brother’s cultivation; he dared not take it lightly.

At the very least, he needed to become proficient before he could practice on his own.

"Alright, let’s finish up the remaining two sparring lessons first."

Chen Jiu watched the serious Lu Chenzhou, feeling somewhat gratified inside.

Cultivation of Hard Qigong was a lonely path, and it was nice to have company.

...

Su Middle District.

As the Golden Crow set in the west, the horizon was dyed with layers of red glow.

Outside the Beautiful Life Plastic Surgery Hospital, pedestrians gradually thinned out. Because of the Taihu Virtual Calamity, people’s daily rhythms had changed from the past. All organizations and schools arranged for early departures and returns, trying to prevent citizens from going out at night.

Around the hospital, in the office buildings, apartments, and malls... armed special police dispersed the crowds, found their positions, and silently set up sniper rifles. On the rooftops of buildings around the hospital lay eight figures. Their shapes varied, all harboring a terrifying aura, coiled and ready to strike, clearly Martial Artists. And all passages leading out of the hospital were blocked by police cars, with at least a hundred armed officers surrounding the hospital completely, including masters of Dark Force and the Hua Realm.

A modified anti-Void police car slowly stopped, and a towering figure clad in uniform stepped out, wearing heavy alloy-embedded boots.

Lufang stretched lazily like a tiger, looking at the hospital in front of him.

Suddenly, a deadly aura enveloped the outside.

The hospital staff were bewildered by the situation.

A portly Mediterranean hospital director ran out with a smile,

"Officer, what’s going on?"

Lufang showed his badge and said calmly,

"We received a tip-off that someone here is trafficking human organs. Starting now, all staff members of the hospital are not allowed to leave and must submit to our inspection."

The director’s face turned panicked, clearly startled.

"Trafficking human organs? Impossible, we are a cosmetic surgery clinic."

Moreover, seeing such a deployment, it couldn’t possibly be over something minor like trafficking organs. The police only mobilized to this extent for major incidents involving the three harms.

"Just cooperate with our work, Director."

Lufang ordered his team to take temporary control of the director.

He walked into the hospital alone, looking at the panicked figures.

"Don’t worry. Everyone just stay put."

The doctors and nurses were already paralyzed with fear; they saw behind the towering man a massive black beast with glossy fur that stood taller than a human.

The beast raised its head, a ghastly face with sharp fangs.

Drooling, it sniffed around.

Lufang walked step by step. Without him needing to act, all the medical staff who saw him naturally collapsed to the ground, unable to move their limbs.

He went upstairs to an office in a corner.

[Gilded Doctor Chen Yongjing].

Lufang heard someone inside.

He knocked on the door and counted down from three seconds, but no one opened it.

He extended his finger and flicked.

Bang!

The sturdy wooden door instantly shattered, cracks spreading across the surrounding walls. Lufang stepped in, seeing the figure standing by the balcony.

"Is this how an officer breaks the law and damages our hospital’s property?" Chen Yongjing turned around, lifted his gold-rimmed glasses, and said with a smile.

Seeing this man’s demeanor, Lufang had a sure answer in his heart. It seemed Chen Zhen’s guess was correct; the real culprit behind the scenes was this seemingly refined Dr. Chen.

He said calmly,

"Dr. Chen, please come with me."

Chen Yongjing’s mood shifted slightly, and with a shrugging and open palm gesture, he laughed,

"But I’m about to have a surgery soon."

Seeing Chen Yongjing’s attitude,

Lufang had no patience for nonsense. He snapped his fingers.

The Evil Tiger ghost behind him roared, and an invisible force actually shattered the office windows. With a display of ferocious teeth and claws, the Evil Tiger lunged directly at Chen Yongjing.

"Lufang, attacking me, a law-abiding citizen, for no reason? Until now, I don’t even know what I’ve done wrong!"

While he spoke of being wronged, the seemingly weak and refined Chen Yongjing had an elusive figure, dodging the tiger’s attack in a blink. Seeing this, Lufang had his answer.

A smirk appeared on his lips as he said,

"Now I have evidence."

The evidence was this man’s ability, which had nothing to do with Martial Arts.

Lufang’s style of handling matters differed from Chen Zhen. In his view, if an enemy could potentially be involved in the three harms, then the order was to execute first and report afterward. If it turned out to be a wrongful accusation, compensation afterward would suffice.

Efficiency above all!
