Chapter 79

Bang, bang, bang...

In the small training ground, a series of explosive sounds, like firecrackers during the New Year, echoed.

The guards at the gate paid no attention to this, not even blinking, as if they were accustomed to it.

Even the maids and servants who occasionally passed through the back yard showed no surprise, only a look of awe in their eyes, a reverence for great power and authority!

They had long grown accustomed to such scenes and sounds, which occurred daily without fail. Sometimes, when Lin Sha was in a mood, it could happen several times a day.

Not only the guards and servants in Lin Sha's residence, but even the neighboring martial officials' households had become accustomed to the daily explosions from Lin Sha's residence. If they didn't hear them one day, they would feel uneasy, as if waiting for the second shoe to drop, a modern internet joke.

Especially when they knew that these sounds were from Lin Sha's daily training, their attitudes became even more friendly and harmonious. Some, with more flexible minds, were even preparing to act as matchmakers for Lin Sha, the "golden bachelor," to find a suitable match for their own descendants.

On the small training ground, a massive sandbag weighing nearly 200 pounds swayed like a small boat in a storm under Lin Sha's fierce kicks, the supporting wooden poles creaking as if they might collapse at any moment, making the onlookers feel nervous and break out in cold sweat.

Whip kick, sweeping kick, stomping kick, straight kick...

One kick after another, each accompanied by a sharp explosive sound. If an expert in internal martial arts were present, they would immediately recognize these as sounds of overt force attacks.

With the continuous practice of the Hidden Force Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound, Lin Sha's internal organs were being exercised, and with sufficient food and medicinal supplements to nourish his body, his physical strength gradually increased. The power of his overt force attacks grew stronger and stronger.

If he were to face the first martial expert of the Mu王府, 'Iron-Backed Azure Dragon' Liu Dahong, he could rely on his powerful overt force attacks and abundant vital energy to wear the old man down to death!

The leg shadows and explosive sounds continued, each kick lifting the heavy sandbag high, lasting for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick before finally stopping. By then, he was drenched in sweat, with a visible mist of steam rising from his head.

Phew!

He took a deep breath, walked to a nearby small stone table, and drank the cold water in the teacup in one go. He then picked up the wet towel and wiped his face, feeling refreshed.

After resting for about fifteen minutes, he stood up again and approached the 200-pound sandbag, which had stopped swaying. He took a deep breath and kicked it with his right leg, landing a heavy blow on the lower middle part of the sandbag.

There was no explosive sound, no loud thud, and the sandbag did not rise high. However, in the next moment...

The 200-pound sandbag suddenly emitted a muffled sound from within, expanding outward and stretching the extremely tough hemp fabric to its limits.

Lin Sha did not follow up with another kick but waited for the sandbag to return to its normal shape before kicking it with his other leg. Again, there was no explosive sound or overt force boom. After a moment, a muffled sound came from inside the sandbag, and the hemp fabric was stretched to its limits before gradually returning to normal.

Thus, with two consecutive kicks, there was no explosive sound, but the effect was equally shocking. The sandbag, filled with sand, exploded internally each time, stretching the fabric to the point of almost bursting, a completely different display from the overt force attacks he had shown earlier.

Hidden force, this is the true manifestation of hidden force!

If you were to hit a watermelon, overt force would smash it to pieces, while hidden force would leave the skin intact but turn the inside into a mush!

Phew!

Another incense stick's time passed, and Lin Sha exhaled deeply, stopping his kicks and standing still. His short, tight-fitting martial attire was drenched in sweat, revealing a well-defined, strong physique.

"Master, breakfast is ready!"

At this moment, a maid approached cautiously, her cheeks blushing as she looked at Lin Sha with heart-shaped eyes.

"Alright, I'll be there!"

Lin Sha nodded slightly, his leg muscles trembling slightly, feeling as if his thighs were filled with lead. He walked step by step to the front courtyard's flower hall.

This was the price to pay for mastering the use of hidden force. His leg muscles, which had been trembling for a long time, felt numb and tight, and the flow of vital energy to his calves was sluggish.

By the time he slowly walked to the front courtyard's flower hall, a fine layer of sweat had formed on his forehead. He took the wet towel and basin from a nearby maid, cleaned himself roughly, and then sat down at the dining table. He took a sip of the strangely flavored hot sheep's milk and slowly enjoyed the hearty breakfast.

After finishing the nutritious breakfast, he did not rush to continue his training but called for a resident acupuncturist. He applied a secret medicinal wine to his tight calf muscles and indicated for the acupuncturist to help stimulate the acupoints to accelerate blood flow, gradually relieving the fatigue in his legs.

After all, he had learned some excellent medical skills in the world of Wong Fei-hung, and he remembered the recipes and production processes of some secret medicines from Baozhi Lin that were beneficial for internal martial arts cultivation. His master, Wong Fei-hung, had also explained some key points and secrets of hidden force cultivation in advance, which greatly helped him quickly master the techniques and delve deeper into the hidden force level!

After resting for about half an hour, Lin Sha got up, dressed neatly with the help of a maid, and led a team of guards to the headquarters of the general to sign in and discuss some urgent matters and military affairs.

Originally, it was just a formality, but unexpectedly, just as the meeting began, General Hu Guozhu dropped a bombshell: the prince, Wu Yingxiong, who had been staying in the capital, would soon return to Yunnan Province and prepare for his wedding to Princess Jianning.

The deputy generals, colonels, and commandants present all wore strange expressions, whispering and exchanging information. Lin Sha was first stunned and then genuinely surprised!

It was already time for Wu Yingxiong to marry Princess Jianning, which meant that the events of "The Deer and the Cauldron" had been underway for some time. This made him both excited and feel immense pressure.

He was excited because it wouldn't be long before he could meet the protagonist of this world, Wei Xiaobao, and with proper planning, he might be able to gain many benefits from this young man.

What made him feel immense pressure was that, as he remembered from the TV series of "The Deer and the Cauldung," Wei Xiaobao, as the imperial envoy sent by Emperor Kangxi, was accompanied by many experts!

Like the Heaven and Earth Society's members, the Fat Bodhisattva from the Divine Dragon Sect, and the most formidable of all, the One-Armed Nun, Master Jiunnan, who was an absolute top expert in the world of "The Deer and the Cauldron." She possessed exquisite Iron Sword Sect internal martial arts and had an ambiguous relationship with the protagonist of the "Bixue Jian" world, a former royal princess, making her a very difficult opponent to deal with!
