Chapter 061: Boiling Water Foot Soak
Seeing that it was already past 5 p.m., Chen Jue stopped working, wiped the sweat off his face, put on his newly bought flip-flops, and slowly walked to the beach.
The turquoise sea is rough. Although Dongdao County is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the Oujiang River with a high sand content is a hindrance in the back, so the water is not as clear and blue .
Only by rowing a boat several kilometers away from the coastline can you see the deep dark blue sea. The water closer is turbid and yellow, or it is the turbid blue sea like the one Chen Jue saw.
Moreover, the time when you can see the blue sea water is extremely short throughout the year, only in summer and autumn. In winter and spring, this beach is only washed by turbid and yellow sea water, and few people are willing to come here to play.
After taking a stroll on the beach and admiring the magnificent sight of the sunset into the sea, Chen Jue slowly walked onto the main road and took a taxi to the county town for dinner again.
After dinner, he returned to the villa to rest for a while. While it was dark outside, Chen Jue took the stone ball weighing over 100 pounds and slipped to the rocky coast behind the cliff to continue diving and practicing.
Practicing martial arts under the sea is particularly effective for accumulating free attribute points.
Moreover, Tai Chi and Thirteen Postures Meditation have improved very quickly under the influence of the undercurrent of the sea water, and have reached a proficiency of (1356/2000).
As long as you insist on going to the seabed twice a day, morning and evening, you can break through and upgrade again within three days.
…
With a splash, he jumped into the sea holding the stone ball. This time, Chen Jue's diving depth was much more aggressive than in the morning.
Relying on the newly perfected Paida Kungfu, his defense power increased greatly! Chen Jue held the stone ball and moved step by step to the deeper seabed, until it was dark all around and the sea water under his feet became colder and colder. When the water pressure squeezing his chest was almost unbearable, he swam back more than ten meters to stabilize his body.
“This position is about right.”
"If we continue forward, we will have to endure it and won't be able to practice martial arts at the same time." Chen Jue put on diving goggles and took a look at the pitch-black underwater environment around him.
Because he dived too deep, the moonlight on the sea surface could no longer reach the place where he stepped.
The silent and dark environment is a great test of a person's willpower.
Fortunately, there were many schools of sea fish, shrimps and prawns moving around, and Chen Jue was not the only living creature. Standing still with the stone ball in his arms, Chen Jue felt the undercurrent washing around him. With the improvement of Tai Chi stance, he had slowly figured out how to let the dark energy flow throughout his body.
During the day, because of the perfection of his Paida Kung Fu, his physical attributes were greatly improved, allowing him to hold his breath a little longer!
After practicing for nearly 25 minutes under the sea, he finally managed to slowly walk and crawl up to the rocky shore holding the stone ball.
"It's better to leave this stone ball here. It weighs more than 100 pounds. No fisherman should be so careless as to take it away." Thinking so, Chen Jue found a crevice in the reef and stuffed the stone ball inside.
Then he quickly ran back to the villa on the cliff. Due to his perfect Paida Kung Fu, the skin on his hands and feet was tougher than before, so he did not slow down even when rushing through the weeds.
When I returned to my place to take a hot shower, I found that several thorns had deeply penetrated into the sides of my thighs. It didn't hurt, but after I pulled them out, a trace of blood seeped out. I rinsed them with hot water, and they healed on their own after a while.
" Even a thorn can break through the defense!"
"It seems I have to continue practicing hard skills!" Chen Jue felt a little dissatisfied.
In his opinion, if he has not trained himself to block attacks from kitchen knives and bullets , he would be doing a disservice to this awakened attribute panel.
But everything has to be done step by step!
It hasn't even been a month since he awakened this panel, and it's not easy for him to progress to this level.
…
After taking a hot shower, I practiced the Yi Jin Jing technique in the room to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and drank some Shi Quan Da Bu Soup. It took me more than an hour to recover some of the strength I had consumed under the sea.
At 8:30 in the evening, Chen Jue took out the teaching video on his mobile phone, and continued to practice the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Technique while watching and comparing it.
When I reached level 9, the last 20 points on the level 0 skill scale were also passed.
The Thirteen Guardians have upgraded their skills!
The unfamiliar muscle memory once again spread throughout his body like an electric current. Chen Jue felt the heat surging all over his body, his skin became hot and red, and as he exerted his strength, his whole body emitted a crackling resonance like a string of cannonballs. Then he felt his stomach and intestines moving violently, and the bowl of tonic soup that he had drunk in advance was quickly digested.
He ran to scoop up two bowls of medicine soup and drank it, then practiced the Thirteen Guardians' Horizontal Training Technique several more times before the changes finally stopped.
I turned around in front of the mirror and found that my muscles and skeleton seemed to have grown a little bigger. Fortunately, the clothes I bought in the county town in the afternoon were big and loose enough, as I had taken into account the physical changes that would occur after a breakthrough in martial arts.
In addition, the skin is as tough as jade, and has a texture similar to white jade under the transparent warm white light.
He ran to the back garden of the villa, pulled out a thorn branch, and whipped it against his skin. He found that the thorns that could pierce through the skin before were now stuck in the skin and could not move an inch!
Unless Chen Jue was foolish enough to press the tail of the thorn and push it inwards, it would be possible for it to pierce the skin and cause bleeding.
"The skin is tougher!"
Chen Jue was somewhat happy. He went back to the room and practiced a few more rounds of the Thirteen Guardians Horizontal Exercises that he had just learned until he was exhausted. Then he wiped the sweat off his body, filled a bucket of hot water for himself, leaned back comfortably on the sofa in the living room, searched for a documentary about nature, and then stretched his legs into the bucket of hot water filled with boiling water.
"hiss!"
"call!"
"So good! So hot!"
"But I can still accept it!"
Chen Jue made a sound of comfort. You know, most people would just pour 40℃ to 50℃ warm water into a bucket to relax their feet.
Older people have more dead skin and calluses on their legs. If they like it hotter, they can only use hot water at around 60℃.
If it’s any higher, your feet will be burned and injured!
But what about Chen Jue?
After practicing the two hard skills of Paida Gong and Shisan Taibao Henglian, the skin's resistance increased dramatically, so that soaking feet in hot water below 100 degrees felt uncomfortable.
The only thing you can do is pour freshly boiled, still boiling 100℃ water into the bucket!
At this temperature, a live chicken would have its feathers scalded off if it went in, and a live pig would scream in pain if it went in. Only a dead pig... No, it should be that only an abnormal human like Chen Jue could withstand such a temperature of boiling water that could scald blisters on an ordinary person's skin.
Moreover, he soaked in the water for a little too long and felt unsatisfied as the water temperature cooled, so he went to boil another pot of water and continued soaking in the water. He did not even lift his feet from the bucket, allowing the boiling water to pour over him. His eyes were fixed on the documentary playing on TV.
He is becoming less and less like a normal person!
