Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Neighbor and Upgrade Again

Wutong Village.

"Just stop here."

Chen Sheng lightly pats the moto-taxi driver's shoulder.

The motorcycle stops at the entrance.

These past two days, due to the construction team laying underground pipelines, the road has become bumpy and uneven.

As a result, Chen Sheng decided to walk the last 200 meters of the road.

Thus saving himself from listening to the moto-taxi driver's complaints.

After paying, he walks down the road.

Reaching the end.

This is where Chen Sheng's home is located.

Although it is at the end of the road,

There is also a muddy path next to it.

Walk about 50 meters along the path, and you'll pass a graveyard.

That's right.

The vegetable market of Wutong Village is built not far from the graveyard.

Just like the vegetable market, Wutong Primary School is also built close to the graveyard.

At first, Chen Sheng found this quite bizarre.

But over time, he got used to it.

At the entrance of the muddy path, just next to Chen Sheng's home, there is an old wooden house.

The wooden house used to be inhabited by the tomb keeper.

However, since Chen Sheng returned, he has never seen anyone entering or leaving the wooden house, as if it has been abandoned.

The tombstones in the graveyard, due to lack of care, have become dirty and messy.

However, today,

When Chen Sheng arrives downstairs, he sees that the door of the wooden house is open.

There are even sounds of rummaging coming from within.

A thief?!

This is Chen Sheng's first reaction.

This thief is really desperate, coming here to steal stuff.

This is his second thought.

Just as Chen Sheng hesitates, wondering if he should go and investigate,

A person who is holding a wooden box walks out of the wooden house directly.

This man is wearing a white shirt, has gold-framed glasses on his face, and looks refined.

It doesn't look like he's a thief.

As Chen Sheng sees him, he too sees Chen Sheng.

Their eyes meet in mid-air.

"Hello."

After a brief silence, the bespectacled man shows a friendly smile and nods at Chen Sheng.

"Do you live here?"

He points to Chen Sheng's home.

"This is my home."

Chen Sheng nods, relaxing his previously tense body slightly.

The other party does not look like a thief.

His appearance here may have other reasons.

Hearing Chen Sheng's reply, the bespectacled man's eyes light up, he quickly puts down the wooden box in his hand, and walks toward Chen Sheng.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Xu Ziwen."

"I am a new teacher at Wutong Primary School, and I just moved in today."

"We are neighbors from now on, please take care of me."

Xu Ziwen seems to want to shake hands with Chen Sheng.

But as soon as he stretches out his hand, he notices the dust on it and immediately becomes a little embarrassed.

"Hello, my name is Chen Sheng."

Chen Sheng doesn't mind, shaking his hand with a smile.

"It's just, why do you live here? I remember this place..."

He wants to say that this is the tomb keeper's house, but he hesitates, afraid of frightening the other party.

Hearing this,

Xu Ziwen touches his nose.

"Actually, the tomb keeper used to be my grandfather."

"When I was a child, I also lived in Wutong Village, but then I moved away."

"Now that my workplace is nearby, I might as well clean up this place."

However, Xu Ziwen seems to see what Chen Sheng is thinking.

"Of course, this is just part of the reason."

"The main reason is that living here doesn't require paying rent, and I don't have to share a room with others."

"Also, I see that those lonely tombs are neglected all year round, it's quite pathetic. It gives me something to do in my spare time."

Toward the end, Xu Ziwen scratches his head sheepishly.

An interesting person.

This is Chen Sheng's first impression of him.

Later,

Chen Sheng asks Xu Ziwen if he needs help.

After being tactfully declined, he doesn't say much and bids farewell to the other party directly.

Chen Sheng returns home.

Chen Sheng immediately took out the pot and put a bag of herbs in it.

Tonight, he plans to upgrade the Three-body Stance to improve the effects of his training.

Before that, he decided to try the effects of the Vitality Soup in case he becomes qi-deficient later on.

"I don't know what realm that guy called Wu Ran is in, but he looks quite amazing."

While waiting for the water in the pot to boil, Chen Sheng suddenly thought of something.

Starting tomorrow, he would go to the Martial Arts Hall to practice, but he was still unclear about the Martial Arts Realms.

He had only seen a rough outline in the news before.

Thinking of this,

Chen Sheng immediately picked up his phone and started searching.

As of now, the Martial Arts Association's latest realm classification was still a hot topic online.

Chen Sheng only typed in the four words of Martial Arts Association, and the result he wanted came up automatically.

"The untrained are divided by tiers."

"Those who pass the initial test are at Tier 10, after which they can be promoted by defeating those of the same tier, up to the highest of Tier 1."

"Above that, they are divided by realm in ascending order: Hidden Element Realm, Clear Understanding Realm, Yao Light Realm, Kaiyang Realm, and Saint Realm."

So this is how the martial arts realms are divided?

Unfortunately,

only the most basic realm divisions were posted online.

How to distinguish between realms,

What Tier 1s must do to enter a realm,

This information was not available online. fre enovelkiss.com

Chen Sheng did not dare to ask Li Chenghu about this trivial matter through WeChat.

Fortunately, he wasn't the kind of person to be overly-focused on the details.

He knew he would find out eventually, so he didn't stress over it for the time being.

After putting his mobile phone back in his pocket, the water in the pot was just boiling.

Chen Sheng turned the induction cooker to low heat and set the timer for two and a half hours.

"This way, it shouldn't boil dry."

For the time being, he decided to take a nap.

After setting his phone alarm, Chen Sheng laid down on the bed.

In a short time, he fell into a deep sleep.

-----------------

Ring ring ring~

Accompanied by the phone ringing, Chen Sheng opened his eyes.

He quickly jumped out of bed and hurried to the kitchen to check on the progress of the herbal concoction.

There was about one-third of the water left in the pot, and it would take about half an hour longer to boil it down to a bowl's worth.

Chen Sheng looked at the time.

It was almost dinner time.

He began preparing the ingredients in the kitchen right away.

Half an hour later,

As the Vitality Soup finished simmering, Chen Sheng also finished preparing the ingredients.

He poured out the soup and set it aside to cool down before drinking.

Another half hour passed.

Chen Sheng had finished preparing dinner and picked up the Vitality Soup, pinched his nose, and poured it directly down his throat.

With a few gulps,

The entire bowl of soup was all gone.

As long as I drink it fast enough, the bitterness of the medicine won't catch up with me!

That's what they say,

But when Chen Sheng put down the bowl, he still couldn't help but grimace at the bitterness.

"Better eat my dinner quickly to suppress the bitterness." 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝒎

After all, it would take some time for the medicine to take effect after being ingested.

Chen Sheng used this time to finish his dinner.

After dinner,

As Chen Sheng was about to clean up the leftovers, his body suddenly stiffened.

"Hoo——"

His face turned red, and he took a deep breath.

The warm air instantly turned into white mist in the air.

Feeling the increasing heat in his body, Chen Sheng hurried to the bathroom.

"Holy shit!"

Chen Sheng couldn't help but shout in surprise.

In the mirror, he looked like a cooked shrimp, his entire body flushed red.

Just then, the Vitality Soup he had drunk turned into a heat flow circulating in his body, making Chen Sheng feel an urgent need to vent his energy.

Unable to bear it any longer, he quickly went to the balcony and summoned his skill panel.

[Three-body Stance Lv1: 3/500]

[Skill Points: 0.55]

He concentrated and pressed the plus symbol behind the skill.

Upgrade!

The next second,

The words representing the Three-body Stance changed quickly.

[Three-body Stance Lv2: 3/5000]
