Chapter 43 Sorry, I chose the flashbang.
The breakthrough in the Skin Smoothing Realm was even faster than Ding Yi had imagined.
On the second night, while taking a medicinal bath, Ding Yi noticed that the outer layer of skin on his body began to peel off layer by layer, and gradually sank to the bottom of the water as the medicinal water in the tub rose and fell.
This strange feeling made Ding Yi feel like an onion, and he couldn't help but hum a tune.
"If you're willing to peel back the layers of my heart, one by one..."
The successful breakthrough in the Skin Refinement Realm relieved Ding Yi's constant tension, and he even began to feel that he had finally gained a foothold in this world.
"What a nice night."
Ding Yi lay timidly in the medicine tub until the blackness in the medicine had completely faded. Only then did he suddenly stand up from the tub and look at his smooth, milk-like skin. A smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"All the makeup has been removed, and the skin smoothing is complete!!"
Ding Yi chuckled, and without caring that he was naked, he jumped out of the bucket and landed steadily on the ground.
His body and legs were spread apart, his arms were outstretched, and he twisted his waist to generate power. Ripples could be seen on his skin, like water waves, which traveled from his waist to his arms.
"Good!! As expected, only by breaking through the skin barrier can this Ape-Python Strength be better utilized!!"
Ding Yi shouted excitedly in his heart, and then unleashed the first few moves of the White Ape Fist in succession. For a moment, the entire room was filled with the heavy sound of stomping on the bricks, as muffled as drumming.
Although he had been practicing the White Python Turning Fist for almost a month, Ding Yi had never felt so wonderful as tonight. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a real ferocious ape, and the thunderous force of his fist seemed to tear the air in front of him and cleave a bright opening in this chaotic world!
"Hoohoo!!"
After completing a set of punches, Ding Yi felt a sense of fatigue, but at the same time, the Evergreen True Qi within his body arrived as expected, watering his tired body like sweet rain, making Ding Yi energetic again.
"Not bad!!"
Ding Yi chuckled, quite satisfied with his punches just now. He took a bath towel from the shelf next to him and draped it over himself before going into the inner room to rest.
As is customary, Ding Yi has been taking out the quicksand diagram to look at it before going to bed recently, but this one glance made his hair stand on end and he jumped up from the bedside.
"Idiot!!"
On the quicksand map, a small red cross appeared next to Ding Yi's area.
Moreover, the red cross was so close that Ding Yi almost thought the enemy was hiding under his bed.
At this moment, Ding Yi's hands, which were holding the Flowing Sand Map, were trembling slightly, not because of fear, but because of anger.
"You son of a bitch, are you ever going to stop?! I've already been being very discreet, and you still come at me?!?!"
Ding Yi gritted his teeth, the joy of breaking through the skin barrier vanishing instantly, replaced by endless frustration and anger.
But as the saying goes, "a scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation." Ding Yi, having traveled from the past to the present, has learned to face things. At this moment, he took a few deep breaths and calmed down.
The red cross wasn't large, not even as big as Qingyunzi's back then, which was enough to show that this person had murderous intent towards him, but the threat was limited.
There's a lot of room for maneuver here.
But Ding Yi also noticed something else: the location of the red cross was quite subtle.
"It's Miao Buzhen from next door?! Wait, did I offend him? But no matter what, this quicksand map is definitely not wrong. I felt there was something wrong with this guy a long time ago, and now it seems my sixth sense was right."
Ding Yi put down the quicksand diagram, quickly put on his clothes, and carefully placed the evil-dispelling talisman close to his body, preparing for Miao Buzhen's sudden attack.
Then, Ding Yi lit the oil lamp, hurried to the table, and began to think of a solution.
First of all, I'm not sure what path this seedling is really taking.
A worshipper? Or a warrior?
If it's for worshipping gods, judging by the size of the red cross, it should be about the same size as Qingyunzi, so the evil-repelling talisman in my hand should be enough to handle it.
But if it were a martial artist, Ding Yi would be in a bit of a predicament.
Although he had broken through the skin barrier and entered the bone forging stage, he had very little experience fighting against martial artists, or even none at all.
From this perspective, extra preparations are needed.
Fortunately, Ding Yi himself has now stepped into the threshold of becoming a martial artist. In addition, after studying diligently at the martial arts school for more than a month, his understanding of martial arts is far superior to what it was a month ago.
At that moment, Ding Yi rubbed his temples and began to think.
A moment later, Ding Yi suddenly remembered something. He hurriedly went to the kitchen, took out a bamboo tube for holding chopsticks, and then scooped a finger's worth of lard from the oil jar and put it in.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Yi took the bamboo tube to the table, casually crushed some dust from the ground and put it in, then used a brush to write the three characters "flashbang" on the bamboo tube.
As is well known, the main materials of flashbangs are magnesium powder, gunpowder, and grease.
Ding Yi was certain that there was no magnesium powder here, and he might not even know the concept of magnesium.
Gunpowder was a product strictly controlled by the military in ancient times on Earth, and Ding Yi didn't expect to be able to obtain it in this world.
Therefore, the only thing that can make do with reducing the lifespan required for enhancement is oil.
At this moment, amidst Ding Yi's tense state, a line of text gradually appeared in Ding Yi's eyes.
[Currently, the required lifespan for enhancement is 2 months and 6 days. Enhance now?]
"You know what, you really can strengthen it!"
Ding Yi stared at the words in front of him, speechless with astonishment.
Perhaps because this flashbang doesn't have offensive properties, its lifespan is shorter than when Ding Yi upgraded his pistol, but this still surprised Ding Yi greatly.
"Yes!! Strengthen me!!"
Ding Yi gritted his teeth and directly chose to enhance. How could he feel at ease with the red cross appearing next to him?
Ding Yi really can't sleep tonight if he doesn't kill Miao Buzhen.
A flash of light, and the bamboo tube on the table instantly transformed into a slender, dark green cylinder.
[Bamboo and Wood Flashbang]
[A scientific achievement from another world seems to have some effect on low-level martial artists?]
Ding Yi picked up the flashbang on the table and examined it closely.
It has to be said that seeing something so evocative of memories in this world is truly strange. Ding Yi even had a strange feeling that he might have traveled through time.
But the ancient surroundings constantly reminded Ding Yi that he had indeed arrived in a strange and dangerous place.
"Let me show you the technology from Earth."
Ding Yi stuffed the flashbang into his pocket, then thought for a moment, went into the room, picked out a set of dark clothes, and brought them to the table.
Ding Yi laid the clothes flat on the table, then dipped a wolf-hair brush in ink and began to apply it to some key areas, trying to make the whole outfit look as black as possible.
Before long, Ding Yi looked at the makeshift "night clothes" on the table and frowned with some disdain.
"It's not that my lifespan is insufficient, I really want to enhance it."
Ding Yi sighed, then took off his clothes and put on the set of clothes that were still dripping with black water.
After moving around a bit, Ding Yi didn't feel anything was wrong. He then prepared everything, picked up the long sword that had been hanging on the beam, and pushed open the door to go out.
