Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

"Tasted the flavor of love?" the woman asked.

Zhao Junyu picked up the wine on the table, poured himself a cup, downed it in one gulp, and said,

"Love? With a position like mine, a status like mine, where do those things fit in? — I was naive."

Zhao Junyu put down the wine glass, shook his head, yet a smile appeared on his face.

He picked up a piece of pastry with his chopsticks and began eating it with relish.

The woman had been watching him, and only then did a touch of warmth appear in her demeanor, as she pondered and said, "Your age is indeed right; I'll arrange a blind date for you next month."

"No need," Zhao Junyu said.

"Why not?" the woman asked.

"I've temporarily lost interest in these matters. Instead, I want to get to know that Guardian," Zhao Junyu said.

The woman looked at him, somewhat unsure, and asked, "Why?"

"The world is about to change, and I was born unable to practice martial arts. I should be making connections with these future heroes," Zhao Junyu said.

The woman showed a look of satisfaction, nodded, and said, "Go then, I support you in this."

Zhao Junyu stood up, ready to leave.

He walked to the outside of the pavilion, about to step on the small boat, when he suddenly stopped.

"Sister, there's one more thing."

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for people to capture that Li Zheng, and we must find out the mastermind behind him," the woman said.

"No, sister, I meant—actually, you're also at the age to go on blind dates."

"Get lost."

"Yes, sister."

...

Outside the university campus, on the pedestrian street.

The Black Book appeared in the void in front of Wu Xiaode, displaying rows of ice crystal small characters radiating a cold aura:

"Iron Wire Fist is an extremely ancient martial art practiced in ancient times to strengthen the body and enhance power."

"Pay attention!"

"You have fully mastered Iron Wire Fist."

"Previously, when you executed the boxing technique, your muscles and blood resonated in harmony, and your Soul Power had infused into your body, about to help you temper your flesh."

"This tempering process requires a large amount of food for sustenance to prevent failure in power enhancement."

No sooner had Wu Xiaode finished reading than his stomach let out a long growl.

Hungry!

Unimaginably hungry!

MUST eat something immediately!

Wu Xiaode could no longer care about walking slowly and immediately started sprinting.

Power enhancement failure?

Are you joking? My painstakingly acquired chance for enhancement, possibly failing due to a lack of food!

Wu Xiaode sprinted while rapidly thinking.

What to eat?

What can be the fastest thing to get?

His gaze swept across the street, and he immediately rushed into a fast-food restaurant.

It was not yet mealtime, so the restaurant was quiet, almost empty.

Wu Xiaode rushed to the counter and shouted:

"Give me a family bucket!"

"Ah... okay, please order on your phone," the cashier said.

"I'm ordering now, but prepare it for me first, I'm in a hurry," Wu Xiaode said.

"Are you catching a plane or a train?" the cashier asked with a smile as she began quickly preparing Wu Xiaode's meal.

"I'm short on time," Wu Xiaode said.

In just a few minutes, the family bucket was served.

The family bucket was large, arrived fast, high in calories, suitable for three people to eat, truly the best choice.

Wu Xiaode was so hungry he could barely stand; text also appeared in the void, reminding him to eat immediately.

No longer caring about anything else, Wu Xiaode took the family bucket to a corner, sat down, opened it up, and started devouring it.

As he ate, he realized something was off.

His digestive system seemed somewhat unfamiliar—

The food he swallowed was immediately digested.

If he had such a digestive system, this family bucket would be gone quickly, and the energy provided might not even be enough!

While he continued to eat, Wu Xiaode opened his phone and placed another order.

Still a family bucket.

The cashier gave a surprised "Oh" and got busy once again.

When she finished preparing all the food and turned around, she saw Wu Xiaode standing right in front of her, already extending his hands, ready to take the tray.

"You..."

"Thank you!"

Wu Xiaode grabbed the tray and ran back to his seat, restarting his furious eating spree.

He ate while placing another order.

Still a family bucket.

The lady behind the counter looked at the rows of food on the ordering screen, her face displaying a look of disbelief.

This person... must have been a hungry ghost in his past life.

How can one person eat so much?

Is he here to eat himself to death?

Although she thought this way, due to professional habit, she still prepared the food properly.

The meal trays were just ready when the young man was already standing at the counter again.

"Thank you, I've had enough to eat, this is for my brothers in the dormitory," Wu Xiaode nodded and smiled.

—He had considered the impact and did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

The lady looked relieved and whispered, "Your meal is ready, I'll help you pack it up."

The food was quickly packed.

Wu Xiaode thanked her again and turned to leave the fast-food restaurant.

As soon as he stepped out, he immediately started running with the food.

For some reason, during his run, he felt as light as a feather.

—His body felt like it had endless strength!

A few minutes later.

He arrived at another fast-food restaurant.

He pushed the door open.

At the counter, a plump man was shouting, "Customer with the last digits 1396 on their phone, your family bucket is ready."

"Coming!"

Wu Xiaode shouted loudly, picked up the meal, and found a corner seat to devour the two family buckets like a storm.

He replicated his technique and shifted to seven or eight other fast-food restaurants, eating for over an hour.

Finally, the sensation of hunger disappeared.

Wu Xiaode felt his body filled with an indescribable strength, even giving him the illusion he could smash anything.

Wu Xiaode wiped his mouth, stood up, walked to the sink, and looked at himself in the mirror as he washed his hands with soap.

His usually somewhat frail body looked "thicker," his eyes were bright, and he looked very spirited.

He seemed to have grown a few inches taller.

Is this the transformation brought by Iron Wire Fist?

Silently, rows of translucent letters made of Ice Frost appeared in mid-air:

"Congratulations!"

"The profound secrets of Iron Wire Fist have refined your body, causing a transformation similar to rebirth."

"Your physical quality is five times that of an ordinary person."

"Special note: Using Soul Power to perform Iron Wire Fist will induce earth-shattering changes to this boxing technique."

"—The more your Soul Power, the more powerful the boxing technique becomes."

"Current Soul Power: 3/3."

Wu Xiaode silently turned off the tap and walked out of the fast-food restaurant, stopping at a street corner.

No one around.

Wu Xiaode took a running start and lightly leaped over the fence, landing inside the park.

"That was so effortless..."

Instinctively, he stretched out his hand and lightly scratched the wall.

A block of brick was directly crushed, and the shattered pieces were squeezed into powder in his hand.

Five times the normal body quality.

Tsk.

This was already impressive.

What would it look like if he used Soul Power?

With a thought, Wu Xiaode immediately summoned the Soul Power within his body.

As he prepared to strike again, a gray, swirling mist seemed to emanate from his hand.

This was the enhancement of Soul Power.

Wu Xiaode glanced around and saw no one and no cameras, then stretched out his fist and forcefully punched the wall.

Iron Wire Fist·Power Thrust!

Thud!

A loud, dull sound.

The wall was directly punched through, leaving a huge hole!

Wu Xiaode was stunned.

This power was like something out of a martial arts movie.

In mid-air, a few lines appeared on the black cover of the Book of the Dead:

"The complete Iron Wire Fist consists of six types of force: thrust, burst, sling, grind, pound; each with its unique power. The sixth form, Iron Hand Blocks the River, is the ultimate secret and infinitely powerful."

"You have used 1 point of Soul Power to perform Iron Wire Fist·Power Thrust."

"Current Soul Power: 2/3."

"Reminder:"

"Rest and eating can restore Soul Power but will not exceed the limit."

"Special reminder:"

"You need more Soul Power to fully unleash the true power of Iron Wire Fist."
