Chapter 18

Lu Xiao only used 70% of his strength in the first punch.

“Boom!”

The fist hit the iron screw with a loud bang.

It was clearly his first time using it, but Lu Xiao could already feel its domineering strength and accuracy!

At the same time, the Qi Blood in his body was released by his fist like flowing water.

If not for the support of the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique, Lu Xiao would have fallen to the ground after two punches.

The iron screw was smashed forward by an inch and a half.

After his Qi Blood recovered, Lu Xiao took a deep breath.

He suddenly punched again!

“Boom!”

This punch was even more powerful than the first, directly smashing the iron screw forward by 1.4 inches!

At the same time, the air around him began to flow.

Lu Xiao was gradually getting better. He kept waving his fists until he completely punched the iron black screw in.

Ding! Completed one screwing task. Combat strength increased by 1.5!

The system notification sounded, and Lu Xiao smiled.

He could earn money and increase his strength at the same time.

No job suited him better.

Lu Xiao became braver as he fought. He was immersed in excitement and kept swinging his fists.

Every time he felt his arm ache, he would recover after feeling a warm current in his body.

This was the domineering aspect of the Grand Heaven Devouring Technique!

An ordinary worker had to take a break after completing the screws of an iron robot.

Lu Xiao did not have this worry at all. After finishing one robot, he immediately switched to another.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

The factory continued to rumble like thunder.

Ding! Completed one screwing task. Combat strength increased by 1.5!

After a while, Lu Xiao finished all the screws he had to do tonight.

But he still had a lot of time. There was nothing to do back home now.

He looked around.

The surrounding workers were focused on their work. Compared to Lu Xiao, their progress was very slow.

Usually, everyone treated him well and would even bring food for Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao began to help them do iron screws.

Every day, everyone’s quota was fixed. Doing more screws wouldn’t get them more money.

But to him, money was secondary.

Every iron screw could increase his combat strength by 1.5 points, which was even more precious than money.

After nearly a full hour.

Lu Xiao was covered in sweat as he focused on the last punch.

“Boom!”

Ding! Completed one screwing task. Combat strength increased by 1.5!

Now that Lu Xiao had punched out, one could already clearly feel the fluctuations in the air around him.

The continuous smashing of the screws had indeed improved his expertise in the Nail Fist.

“Phew…”

Lu Xiao took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Although he was drenched in sweat, he had never felt so refreshed!

Now, his combat strength had successfully exceeded 100, which was equivalent to a Level 1 Martial Artist.

As he cultivated, the Qi Blood in his body became more and more vigorous.

His muscles also became tighter, and at the same time, they contained explosive power that could not be underestimated.

The Grand Heaven Devouring Technique could also relax his muscles that were tired from the cultivation process.

Lu Xiao placed the towel on his shoulder and walked out of the iron work area.

The moment he stepped out, he saw his two workmates sitting on the ground.

“Sigh, these bronze screws are really tiring.”

“Isn’t that so? I really can’t help but admit that I’m old. If I were young, I would have driven one of them in no matter how hard it is!”

“Haha, keep bragging.”

The two workmates chatted with each other. It seemed that the work was not going well.

Lu Xiao walked to the door curiously.

Inside, his workmates were smashing their fists at the screws. With each punch, the movement of the bronze screws was minimal.

Even the experienced worker had a hard time doing it.

His breathing began to become chaotic. He needed to rest for a while before he could continue.

The teacher turned around and saw Lu Xiao. A bitter smile appeared on his face.

He felt a little embarrassed to let this new worker see him in such a sorry state.

“Little Lu, how’s the progress on your side?”

“Get off work after that.”

“The bronze screws here are really tiring.”

“They’re even more difficult than the last batch.”

The old worker adjusted his breathing as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It was obvious that this batch of bronze screws was indeed quite challenging for him.

“Senior, I’ve already finished those three batches of iron screws.”

Lu Xiao finished speaking.

The old workmates around him froze.

“Are you serious?!”

“Little Lu, don’t tell me you’re starting to play tricks too? How long has it been?”

Some of the unbelieving workers ran over to take a look and laughed when they returned.

“Holy sh*t, Little Lu is really something. He really finished it!”

It might not be something even if he finished it. What mattered was that he finished it in such a short time and his breathing was so steady.

He was definitely a promising genius!

“Senior, this bronze screw looks quite difficult.”

“Yeah, it looks like I’ll have to work overtime tonight. I might not be able to handle it.”

“Why don’t I help?”

Lu Xiao walked up to the bronze robot and was already eager to try.

The higher the difficulty, the higher the improvement of combat strength.

When the old worker heard this, he shook his head and advised, “This batch of bronze robots is not something ordinary people like us can handle.”

“At the very least, only Martial Artists can…”

While the old worker was trying to persuade him, Lu Xiao had already arrived at the bronze screw. He began to activate his Nail Fist and punched.

“Boom!!”

A loud bang sounded. Lu Xiao actually drove in the bronze screw that everyone had been working hard on for a long time without making any progress!

Ding! Completed one screwing task. Combat strength increased by 3.3!

Everyone who saw this could not help but swallow their saliva, but they could not hide the shock on their faces.

“Little Lu, are you a Martial Artist?”

“One punch… This punch is worth dozens… No, at least a hundred punches from us old fellows!”

“No wonder he finished three batches of iron screws so quickly!”

Everyone had a whole new level of respect for Lu Xiao, and the old worker was even more impressed.

Lu Xiao was also quite surprised.

The bronze screws were far more rewarding than the iron screws.

“You guys rest first. I’ll help you do them!”

With that, Lu Xiao plunged in and began to swing his fists continuously.

The old workmates looked at the rapid progress of the bronze screws and sighed.

“Not only is he hardworking, but his heart is also good. Little Lu will definitely be able to stand out in the future.”

“That’s right. Little Lu is much more practical than those young people from before.”

“Hahaha, if we were half as good as Little Lu, we wouldn’t have been unable to even do one screw until now.”

While everyone was chatting and laughing, Lu Xiao’s progress was still increasing.

Every punch gradually revealed the sharpness of the Nail Fist.

After this batch, Lu Xiao’s uniform was completely drenched, but there was no sign of fatigue on his face.

His combat strength had increased from 100 to 200!

Just as he changed into the new work clothes that his old workmate handed over enthusiastically, he suddenly heard news from outside the door.

“Something bad has happened over there. Everyone, come and help!”

A workmate left in a hurry without saying what it was about.
