More than half an hour passed, and Li Chen vigorously performed the Tiger Roaring Fist more than a dozen times outside the hospital, and a faint heat spread out from his body.

"Hey, Junior Brother Li is very good at practicing this boxing technique. Do you want me to come and try it with you?"

When Chen Songtai returned from an outing, his eyes lit up when he saw Li Chen moving with a serious look on his face.

"Senior Brother Chen is joking. With my meager martial arts skills, how can I be a match for Senior Brother?"

"Haha, I have nothing to do anyway. Senior Brother He is refining elixirs. I won't blame you for being lazy. Come on, come on!"

Chen Songtai smiled heartily and pulled Li Chen involuntarily and walked away. He was also afraid that the noise would affect He Kongming who was refining elixir.

"Okay! Senior Brother Chen, you have to let me order it!"

Although he knew that Chen Song looked down on him, Li Chen believed that it would be good if the other party could sincerely point him out.

The two sides stood still, and Chen Songtai nodded casually. With his cultivation at the fifth level of the Inner Breath Realm, Li Chen, who had never even condensed his inner breath, really didn't need to be taken seriously.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a vague light flashed in his eyes. He exhaled loudly, stepped forward, and punched hard.

This punch did not use any inner breath, but after practicing Tiger Roaring Fist for many years, there was an inexplicable power in it. Even the dust on the ground was stirred up by the wind of the punch.

The disdain in Chen Songtai's eyes flashed away, and he stretched out his right hand, bent his elbow and bent his arm inward, trying to dodge Li Chen's charging fist to the side.

What surprised him slightly was that the force on Li Chen's fist was astonishingly strong, no less powerful than when a fourth-level warrior in the Condensation Realm struck with all his strength.What's more, there was a faint tremor on the fist arm.

Chen Songtai's face turned green and red, and a look of shame and anger flashed in his eyes. If he hadn't stopped forcibly because of his inner breath, he would have fallen to the ground and made a fool of himself.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed through him. Before Li Chen, who was in a daze, could say anything, he tapped his foot lightly and slid over.

The human-level intermediate body skills, when practiced to a high level, are enough to walk sideways among warriors of the same level. Of course, the opponent must not have higher-level martial arts close by. Chen Songtai obviously has not practiced it to an advanced level. He is just at the beginning of a small level, which is far from being a great level or even perfect.

Li Chen's eyes blurred, and Chen Songtai rushed forward. He screamed secretly, his body suddenly bent, and he twisted to the side.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned over, he felt his waist tighten. From the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Songtai holding his belt with one hand and suddenly throwing it away into the distance.

Li Chen's body was light, but he could not withstand the full force of the fifth-level warrior in the Condensation Realm, and flew out immediately.

He secretly cursed himself for not revealing his strength. He was about to say a few words to make the other party look good, but he saw that Chen Songtai was unwilling to let him go. He hit the ground hard with his feet, rose into the air, and kicked him in the stomach.

The belly dantian is the foundation of a warrior. Chen Songtai's attack here was already a heavy blow.

Li Chen didn't dare to neglect. He couldn't use any strength in the air, so he had to curl up his body and contract his arms to protect him. His inner breath suddenly surged, forming a layer of defense in his body.

There was a muffled sound, and Li Chen's body was like a kite with broken strings, and he fell seven or eight meters away, rolling around for ten times before stopping.

"Hey, Junior Brother Li, are you okay? Because of brother's temporary interest, I lost my sense of control. Don't be angry!"

Chen Songtai landed and hurriedly rushed forward, pretending to help Li Chen up.

"Ahem! It doesn't matter. It's my younger brother who is not good at studying. How can I blame my senior brother?"

Resisting the severe pain in his arm, Li Chen bit the tip of his tongue, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, he coughed several times with a difficult expression, and shook his head weakly.

After all, it was because he had too little experience against the enemy. Although he had accumulated a lot of experience under the beatings of the third lady for many years, the third lady was ultimately not as good as a real martial artist who had practiced martial arts for many years and had actual combat experience.

Chen Songtai patted the dust off his body, let go of Li Chen, and walked into the hospital with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

In his opinion, Li Chen had no inner breath in his body. Even if his body was special, he should have vomited blood and fallen to the ground after being kicked by him.

But there was a hint of regret in his heart. If he was really injured and unable to work, I am afraid that all the work in the courtyard would fall on him. Not to mention the time wasted, he would definitely be scolded by He Kongming.

Suddenly, two loud noises passed by in succession, startling Chen Songtai and Li Chen to look into the courtyard and hurriedly ran over.

I saw that in the room where He Kongming made alchemy, the entire window was broken, and thick smoke billowed out, mixed with a pungent smell.

Angry shouts came, and He Kongming kicked open the door with a disgraceful face. He glanced at Chen Songtai and Li Chen with a gloomy face, and shouted coldly with slightly narrowed eyes: "I asked you why there was such a big movement just now. You are so brave. Do you know how much effort this furnace of pills cost me?"

Chen Songtai knelt on the ground, swallowed his saliva, and pointed at Li Chen: "Senior brother He, it's none of my business. It was junior brother Li who insisted that I teach him how to practice boxing. I refused at first, but I couldn't resist his begging, so I agreed to teach him a few moves. It affected senior brother's alchemy, please forgive me!"

The inner disciples have no right of life or death over the outer disciples, but if the outer disciples make a big mistake, they can abolish it first and then report it, which Chen Songtai cannot tolerate without fear.

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure shook, a muffled sound mixed with the sound of cracking bones came out, and then a figure flew up and rolled to the ground.

Li Chen felt the energy and blood in his body churning, stars popping up in front of his eyes, and severe pain in his chest. Based on his experience of being beaten for many years, at least several ribs were broken, and with the injury to his arm, it was really serious.

He glanced coldly at Li Chen, who was lying on the ground, and He Kongming rolled up his sleeves and left.

To him, Li Chen was just a slave who tested medicine for him and even provided him with the properties of failed elixirs. He could beat and scold him at will.

Li Chen opened his mouth and vomited out a ball of blood foam, and almost fainted, but this time he actually vomited blood. He forced his body to stand up, but fell down again.

"Junior Brother Li, are you okay? Look at me, I talk so fast..."

"No...it's not in the way. I didn't...no, I shouldn't have asked Senior Brother Chen to teach me boxing!"

Forced to breathe, Li Chen covered his chest, staggered to his house, closed the door tightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and resumed his meditation.

He Kongming is a ninth-level warrior in the Inner Breath Realm. Even if he doesn't use his full strength, this kick is not something he can bear.

His arm and ribs were broken. Even with medication and internal breath support, it would still take at least half a month for Li Chen to be able to work with his strong body that had been tempered for many years.

"Huh, it's a good thing that this waste is on top of the tank, otherwise I would never be able to eat it and walk around with it this time!"

Chen Songtai slapped his palms, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, patted his chest with lingering fear, and returned to his room uneasily.
