Excavating the treasures of the human body, enhancing physical strength.
This is exactly what Shano desires most at present. Hesitating for even a second is disrespecting his body, so he directly added it to the cart.
As for this last item...
[Peter Griffin's Jeans]
[Type: Equipment]
[Price: 500 points]
[Description: After wearing, intelligence decreases slightly, and there's a chance of increasing your hatred value in others' eyes]
[Seller's Note: Suitable for big eaters as well]
This item's effect is somewhat interesting, but the cost-performance ratio is not high. Shano thought about it for a bit, shook his head, and decided it was unnecessary to waste points on something like this.
Submit the cart and checkout.
The items in this batch were quite to his liking; there were four in total, costing 3500 points altogether.
The remaining points: 39525, still quite ample.
...
Shutting down the trade market, Shano opened the backpack and took out the black training suit that could adjust its weight.
The default initial setting is the lowest at 1KG, similar to ordinary tight-fitting wear.
It fits well, with extremely high resilience and elasticity, yet has quite decent breathability.
The tactile sensation was very comfortable. After he simply moved his hands and feet, he immediately began trying to adjust the weight.
"Better to start cautiously and take it slow at the beginning, let's try 250KG first..."
Thunk!
With a dull thud, the pressure on his body increased sharply. Shano's body sank slightly for a moment, but then he stood firm as if nothing had happened.
He did a set of push-ups upside down, jogged around the garden once, and then used "Soru" several times between several wooden stakes—
The landing point was still accurate, just slightly slower in speed.
"Not enough, far from enough."
Shano shook his head. The weight of 250KG might have been some pressure before he went out to sea.
But for him now, he could quickly adapt to it, which would not have much effect.
Continue to adjust upwards bit by bit.
300, 350... until it was added to 500KG.
Shano finally felt that kind of stagnation where every move consumed a lot of energy, as if walking in dense liquid.
But not to the point where the muscles couldn't bear it.
It can be said that he found a perfect balance point.
"Let's set it at this number for now."
Shano was very satisfied with the current effect.
After a while, when he has fully adapted to this pressure and can treat it as nothing during training, then he will start to increase the weight further.
Then he opened the "Copper Head" secret scroll.
After a rough browse, he pondered for a moment and decided to practice it together with Tekkai.
Both are body training techniques with compatible elements; practicing them together won't cause conflicts or delays.
However, in terms of practicing methods, there are some essential differences between the two.
Although the name "Copper Head" seems simple, it belongs to the "Blood and Flesh Melting Furnace Technique," which is a formal Inner Power Manual.
It focuses more on comprehension and skill. High-intensity training of the body must be accompanied by continuously exploring and understanding its mysteries to truly master it.
As for Tekkai,
In comparison, it's purely an external skill with a simpler and more brutal practice method.
As the only defensive technique among Rokushiki, its principle is to control the flow speed of blood, gathering it into the muscles to enhance hardness.
To achieve this, besides constantly increasing muscle strength through various daily physical training,
the most critical content is actually strike-resistance specialized training!
Essentially, it's about using various hard implements to keep pounding the body, gradually improving strike resistance.
In Navy and CP Department training, this is done in pairs, swinging at each other with wooden sticks; when one gets tired, they switch, repeating the cycle.
Meaning, to ensure the efficiency of Tekkai's practice, one cannot do it alone; a partner is required.
Luckily, right now, Shano does have people around him.
The workshop will not open until next year, and currently, the refugees he brought over only have tasks in the Orange Garden, which keeps them relatively idle.
He can indeed select a few young and strong individuals from them every day to accompany him in training Tekkai.
He does not like to procrastinate until tomorrow. Since he made the decision, he would not delay.
So, after spending the entire morning practicing "Copper Head," it was time for Tekkai in the afternoon.
—Scar and the "Fat Mountain Bandit," who was once punched by him into a tree, were brought to the training field, each holding a hard wooden stick and looking at Shano nervously.
"Sir, let me confirm once more, did I hear you correctly?"
Scar looked at the wooden stick in his hand and swallowed, "Do you really want me to hit you with full force, five hundred times?"
"Mmm, start with the back. But not just five hundred; that's just the first round. It's in case you get too tired to exert strength."
Shano stretched his back muscles and instructed, "After hitting five hundred times, switch to Fatty Ox. You can rest by the side, then switch when Fatty Ox gets tired."
Fatty Ox was the "Fat Mountain Bandit's" name. Simple-minded, he nodded enthusiastically after hearing the instructions: "Alright! Got it, boss!"
"But..."
Scar was still hesitating.
It wasn't until Shano turned around and glared at him that he finally dared not delay, gripping the hard wooden stick tightly, and suddenly struck towards Shano's back.
Shano had already stabilized into a horse-riding stance, composed and calm, following the key points mentioned in the Tekkai secret scroll, accelerating the blood flow in his back muscles as much as possible, waiting for this blow to arrive.
Thud, with a dull sound, Scar's tiger mouth was a bit numb from the shock, making him somewhat uneasy inside; did he use too much force?
"Hmm?"
Shano turned back, looking dissatisfied, "I told you to use full force; why are you holding back? Does it itch? I don't feel a thing!"
Scar gritted his teeth, finally putting all his strength into the next hit, seeing that Shano didn't turn back, he immediately followed with another hit, one after another—
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The dull sounds, like war drums, echoed continuously in the orange grove but didn't last long. After roughly twenty or thirty swings, there was a crisp 'crack' as the hardwood stick suddenly broke into several pieces.
"Huh?"
Scar raised the half-stick that was left in his hand, dumbfounded.
This was the hardest wood he found in the Korbo Mountain Range!
But it shattered this quickly?
Shano sighed as well, turning around, looking at the fragments on the ground with a headache.
His current muscle strength was indeed very high, making it challenging to have much effect using wooden sticks to strike the body.
"Throw away the wooden stick."
Shano's gaze turned to Fatty Ox, "Try your Wolf Fang Club."
"Huh?"
Even someone as simple-minded as Fatty Ox was dumbfounded, and Scar couldn't help but intervene, "Sir, Fatty Ox's Wolf Fang Club weighs sixty or seventy kilograms. It's a genuine combat weapon."
"It's fine. I like this weapon."
Shano eyed the massive Wolf Fang Club that was nearly his height, grinning, "Let's treat it as early adaptation for the Thundering Hakken."
"Alright, but... shouldn't we blunt the sharp parts a bit?"
Scar hesitantly suggested.
Fatty Ox's Wolf Fang Club had quite a few spikes. Without modification, a few hundred hits would turn into Swiss cheese.
Shano nodded; this suggestion was reasonable.
A moment later, the spikes were modified.
Scar and Fatty Ox took turns stepping up, swinging the Wolf Fang Club like blacksmiths forging weapons, continually bashing it against Shano's back.
Shano remained expressionless, his gaze fixed forward. Occasionally, when he truly couldn't bear it, he grimaced, but he quickly endured it again.
Does it hurt? Of course, it hurts, but if even this pain can't be endured, how can he quickly grow stronger?
In his eyes, there was an almost maddening anticipation, just like this! It must be like this!
—With the blessings of statues and training suits, continually using high-intensity practice on the body, day in and day out, once Tekkai and "Copper Head" are fully mastered, what level will his physical strength reach?
