Chapter 34 - Dragon Scale Swirling Armor

  Huh!

It was as if a flame rushed down his throat, and Chen Ke's internal organs seemed to be ignited.

Rumbling, gurgling, the blood boiled and rolled, and Chen Ke almost fell off the bed in pain.

The heat surging in the body turned into countless red-hot steel needles, stabbing his body fiercely, causing Chen Ke to twitch all over.

That's not all, air masses bulged out from under his skin and flesh, as if they were hiding mice, and began to run around.

I'm going to die!

Chen Ke's chin arched up with two big lumps, like a butt.

In a blink of an eye, the two big lumps ran to his forehead, and it was still a butt.

It's over, the mouse has run into the crotch.

Chen Ke was so scared that he quickly stood up and jumped around on the bed.

The heat spread throughout his body. He was like a cooked prawn, glowing red, with even the texture of his muscles clearly visible.

  Hot, hot!

Chen Ke jumped off the bed, opened the door, and ran towards the martial arts training ground.

  Ten laps, twenty laps, thirty laps...

one hundred laps, two hundred laps,... Chen Ke finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell on the stone slabs of the martial arts training ground, gasping for breath.

His whole body was wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Fortunately, the group of mice in his body disappeared and the temperature dropped.

Although his whole body was sore and exhausted, Chen Ke still struggled to get up and staggered towards the courtyard.

With his small body, if he caught a cold again, all the maintenance he had done some time ago would be wasted.

Back in the room, Chen Ke threw himself on the bed and fell asleep the next second.

  In his dream, the blood essence of the elders of the academy and his blood essence blended together.

On Chen Ke's skin, ripples were blown up, like ripples on the water.

Dense golden scales flashed on the surface of the skin.

After the scales covered his whole body, they quietly sank down.

The next morning, Tie Niu was dressed in tight clothes, standing at the door and shouted:

"Master, get ready to go!"

After a while, a half-dead voice came from the room: "Not going today."

Tie Niu shook his head helplessly and turned away.

Yesterday, the young master told him enthusiastically that he was going to practice driving and archery outside the city.

Although Tie Niu expressed doubts, he still arranged the itinerary.

Sure enough, the lazy young master's words were not accurate at all.

In fact, Tie Niu wronged his young master. Chen Ke really couldn't get out of bed at this time.

  His whole body felt like it was falling apart, and there wasn't a single muscle that didn't hurt.

He only said five words before his jaw was dislocated.

Although it was excruciatingly painful, this feeling was not unfamiliar at all.

When Chen Ke was in middle school, he would help his grandfather with farm work every weekend when he went home.

Every time he worked for a day, he couldn't get out of bed the next day.

People are like this, if they don't exercise for a long time, their skin and flesh will become tight, and if they suddenly do strenuous exercise, their whole body will ache.

This is actually a good thing, when the body is fully active and the blood circulation is smooth, the pain will go away.

  It's time for breakfast.

Lichun and Liqiu walked in happily, put breakfast by the bed, and began to feed Chen Ke mouthful by mouthful.

Chen Ke had a dark face the whole time, and he was too lazy to open his eyes.

Damn it, are you feeding the young master or the puppy?

  After breakfast, his face and body were covered with rice grains.

Something had fallen into his neck, a sticky mass that was disgusting.

After breakfast and changing into pajamas, Chen Ke still couldn't get out of bed.

He simply asked Lichun to take all the books on the table and put them beside the bed.

He picked up a test book and flipped through it.

This was a collection of arithmetic questions, and also a mock test for the monthly exam.

After all, Chen Ke had been tortured by the Mathematical Olympiad, and he felt sorry for the physical education teacher if he got a question wrong.

He finished all the mental arithmetic in a short while, and knew that they were all correct without looking at the answers.

He picked up another test book of "Book of Rites" and flipped through it quickly.

The content of the monthly exam in the academy this time is "Six Arts of a Gentleman".

The six arts of a gentleman are ritual, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Li refers to the etiquette recorded in the Book of Rites. Students must not only answer questions but also demonstrate on the spot.

Yue refers to music. Students must not only understand the ancient music that has been passed down, but also master at least one musical instrument.

Yu refers to driving an ancient chariot. The most difficult one is "Zhu Qin Zuo".

Not only must you drive the chariot to complete the charge, but you must also complete three rounds of charge and point shooting.

She refers to archery, which is also very difficult. The most difficult one is "Jing Yi", one of the five archery techniques.

You need to pull a strong bow weighing 100 kilograms, shoot four arrows in a row, and hit the target with every arrow.

Shu refers to calligraphy and articles. Students must master at least three ancient fonts and be able to write smooth articles.

Shu refers to logic. Students must have a solid foundation in mathematics and master the algorithms and reasoning of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

Among these six courses, Chen Ke's weakest points are "Yu" and "She", that is, driving a chariot and archery.

Archery requires physical strength, otherwise you can't even pull a longbow.

As for "driving", the ancient chariots are very difficult to control, and they will overturn if you are not careful.

And to drive the chariot while stabbing with a spear or shooting with a bow and arrow, this requires not only superb skills, but also great strength and courage.

Therefore, the gentlemen in ancient times were the elites of society, and not just anyone could be called that.

The gentlemen at that time were really gentlemen, who could write with a pen and kill the enemy on horseback.

Although the ancient chariots that charge the battle formation have long been eliminated in today's imperial wars, this tradition full of martial spirit has been maintained.

Since you are a gentleman, how can you not have great strength and extraordinary courage?

It's just that Chen Ke, a poor student who doesn't want to be a gentleman at all, has no room for laziness.

In one morning, he went through all the preparation materials and test questions, and the written test was not a big problem.

It was time for lunch.

After being fed a lot of food by Lichun and Liqiu like a puppy, Chen Ke had no desire to live, so he simply called two servants to throw him into the bathroom sink.

Sure enough, after soaking in the warm water, the pain in his body was greatly reduced, and he felt much more comfortable.

By the afternoon, Chen Ke was able to stand up and stroll around the garden.

As it got dark, Chen Ke sat cross-legged on the bed, poured out the second Blood Spirit Pill and put it into his mouth.

Many things hurt the first time, but not the second time, and you even enjoy it.

That's why there is the idiom "bitterness before sweetness".

Chen Ke thought he should enjoy it.

Unfortunately, he was wrong, and the second time it hurt even more.

Chen Ke felt like he was on fire, and he ran out of the door with half his clothes on, and began to circle around the martial arts training ground again.

Just as he was running around with his tongue sticking out, a crisp bell suddenly rang in his head.

Ding!

"Congratulations, you have mastered the skill "Dragon Scale Swirling Armor",

which increases your mental power limit by 500 points and rewards you with 200 points of mental power limit."
