Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 748 - : Bell World (Part 3)
Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Bell World (Part 3)
Chen Ergou forcefully pinched a handful of flesh on his arm.
As a result, the texture was extremely resilient, just like a well-tanned piece of old cowhide.
This was the most prominent characteristic of the Skin Refining Technique’s success!
Am I now a Martial Artist?
Chen Ergou couldn’t even believe this fact himself, feeling like he was in a dream.
It was too fast, far too fast!
...
The thing he hadn’t managed to achieve even with tremendous effort under Chen Qiaoshan’s painstaking instruction all those years ago, had he actually accomplished it with such ease today?
Chen Ergou pinched himself hard again.
This time he chose his face.
It hurt a bit.
Just a little bit.
Chen Ergou finally confirmed that he wasn’t dreaming, but had instead realized his dream!
He jumped three feet high with excitement.
However, in the next moment, his extreme joy turned to sorrow as he thumped down on the ground.
His legs were powerless.
In fact, it wasn’t just his legs; Chen Ergou felt like his entire body was on the verge of collapse, and with a thunderous growl from his stomach, the strong sense of hunger made his vision darken.
Food!
He needed a large amount of food.
Chen Ergou immediately struggled and flung himself toward the kitchen.
It was already too late to boil water and cook sweet potatoes, so he grabbed a piece of cured meat hanging on the windowsill and stuffed it into his mouth to chew vigorously.
This ten-pound piece of cured meat was the only stock in the house, which was usually sliced thinly and mixed into the sweet potato porridge, allowing it to last a long time.
But right now, Chen Ergou couldn’t care less; all he wanted was to fill his belly.
He was just so hungry!
Chen Ergou didn’t know if it was because he had broken through to become a Martial Artist, but the tough cured meat was easily torn apart by his teeth, then ground into mince, and swallowed down with his saliva.
In the time it took to brew a pot of tea, a ten-pound piece of cured meat was completely devoured by Chen Ergou!
“Urp!”
He let out a satisfied burp and wiped his mouth, feeling like he could eat another piece.
However, there was no more meat left in the house, the last bit of cured meat had been wiped out!
Chen Ergou suddenly felt a sense of panic.
How was he going to explain this to his old man when he got back?
But then he immediately thought that with his success in Skin Refinement, his old man would be too happy to care about a mere piece of cured meat, wouldn’t he?
Thinking this, Chen Ergou felt like his mind had become sharper!
He joyfully took a bath and then contentedly went to bed.
He slept until morning.
Upon waking, Chen Ergou felt both his spirits and physique were in top shape, and all the things he could see, hear, smell, and perceive seemed different.
They became sharper and more transparent!
He cooked a pot of sweet potatoes for breakfast and ate it all up.
And then went to work the fields as usual.
However, halfway there, Chen Ergou was stopped by someone.
The one blocking Chen Ergou’s path was the burly teenager he had beaten up the day before yesterday.
Today the teenager didn’t bring his gang of young companions, but was accompanied by a young man with an expressionless face.
“Big Brother!”
The burly teenager pointed at Chen Ergou and indignantly said, “He’s the one who hit me the day before yesterday!”
Chen Ergou ignored the guy, turning his gaze to the young man instead.
The aura exuding from the other party put him on alert.
The young man said indifferently, “Kneel down, knock your head on the ground three times for my brother, say sorry three times, and we’ll let it go.”
Chen Ergou laughed.
If it had been the him from before, faced with such a person, he would have certainly cowered on the spot.
Yet today, Chen Ergou found it all rather amusing.
He actually knew the person.
Lu Bao of the Lv Family, Flesh Refining Realm!
In the entire Little Stone Village of four to five hundred people, there were about a hundred martial artists, and the strongest among them was the village chief, Shi Laowu, a martial artist of the Bone Refining Realm.
There were twenty-seven in the Flesh Refining Realm, including Lu Bao and Chen Qiaoshan.
Indeed, had it not been for Chen Qiaoshan’s face, Lu Bao would have directly taught Chen Ergou a harsh lesson.
It was only the pain of flesh and blood that could be spared, but avenging one’s cousin was a must!
“Hmm?”
Seeing Chen Ergou remain indifferent, Lu Bao frowned and said, “Are you deaf?”
Chen Ergou couldn’t be bothered with a drawn-out argument and simply took a detour, “Sorry, I’m quite busy, I have no time to waste on your nonsense.”
“You’re asking for it!”
Flying into a rage, Lu Bao made an impulsive grab at Chen Ergou without a second thought.
His fingers formed into a claw and struck like lightning, tearing through the air with a terrifying whooshing sound, fierce and swift with impressive force.
As a martial artist of the Flesh Refining Realm, Lu Bao thought it would be easy to ambush Chen Ergou from behind, capturing him effortlessly with little effort.
But against all odds, Chen Ergou suddenly turned around and threw a punch to meet the claw.
Snap!
Fist and claw collided, causing Lu Bao to involuntarily shudder and take a step back.
Chen Ergou also stepped back.
They were evenly matched.
However, Lu Bao’s eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed in disbelief, “Skin Refinement? You’ve become a martial artist too!”
His cousin, a stout young boy standing nearby, listened with immense jealousy.
Chen Ergou had become a martial artist too?
How would he face this!
“What’s so great about the Skin Refining Realm!”
A flicker of cruelty flashed in Lu Bao’s eyes as he slapped his waist fiercely.
A pair of metal gloves with sharp spikes suddenly appeared in his right hand.
Amidst the gasps of the onlookers, Lu Bao pounced on Chen Ergou with the ferocity of a tiger attacking a rabbit, his right hand clad in the metal glove opened like an eagle’s claw and targeted the latter’s vital points!
The metal glove on Lu Bao’s hand was obviously custom-made, it shimmered cold and Thorn gleamed brightly; one could imagine the consequences if hit by it.
Although Chen Ergou hadn’t expected his opponent to resort to using such a tool over a trivial matter, he couldn’t dare to underestimate its edge and immediately retreated to dodge, putting distance between them.
But Lu Bao wouldn’t give up and insisted on pursuing Chen Ergou, forcing him to dodge left and right!
Having sparred with his opponent for a moment, Chen Ergou became annoyed as well.
He didn’t expect this guy to be so relentless!
He thought to himself, if only he had Flying Sword on hand, he would slash this pest to death!
Wait a second?
Chen Ergou paused in confusion, “What’s Flying Sword?”
Just as Chen Ergou was momentarily distracted, Lu Bao seized the opportunity to swipe at his face, clearly intending to ruin his appearance!
But before Lu Bao’s claw could touch Chen Ergou, the latter’s fist, which was launched later, arrived first, landing heavily on his chest.

Boom!
Lu Bao was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, spewing blood from his mouth.
A martial artist of the Flesh Refining Realm was unable to withstand a punch from someone in the Skin Refining Realm?
Lu Bao, lying on the ground, couldn’t believe it himself, yet the power contained in the opponent’s fist was undeniably real.
There was no room for falsehood!
At this very moment, a good number of villagers, having heard the commotion, gathered around to see what was happening.
Feeling ashamed, Lu Bao didn’t bother to cleanse his disgrace and leaped up from the ground before turning around and running away.
His cousin stood dumbfounded: “Second brother, wait for me!”
