Iron Shirt

Chen Shi is the most inconspicuous young man outside Zhenbei City. His daily livelihood is to chop firewood and carry water for the martial arts gym in the city in exchange for two copper coins and a meal of brown rice. The apprentices in the martial arts school always made fun of him, laughing at him for being as thin as firewood and wanting to join the martial arts group. Chen Shi never refuted, but when no one was paying attention, he secretly imitated the stance of the martial arts masters. Even if his calves were shaking like chaff, he could still hold on until the moon was in the sky. His secret is hidden in the half-written piece of music he picked up when he was seven years old. On the yellowed page, the three words "Iron Cloth Shirt" penetrated through the back of the paper, and underneath were drawn a clumsy method of luck. If others practice this hard skill, they will be unable to move even an inch due to stasis of Qi and blood within three months, but Chen Shi is different - he can clearly feel that every time he runs the skill, the meridians in his body are as if they are widened by an invisible hand. After the pain, the muscles and bones become stronger. This is his innate ability: as long as he keeps practicing, he can keep getting stronger without any upper limit.
