Drip, drip—

In the mountain forest, water droplets fell from the leaves.

Last night's heavy rain heralded the arrival of winter, and the temperature dropped sharply.

After the rain, the sky was clear.

The golden sunlight fell, bringing a touch of warmth in the winter.

Roar!

Boom, boom, boom—

Early in the morning, the forest was filled with thunderous roars and fierce collision sounds from battles.

The roar of the fierce beast was full of intense anger and frustration.

On the other side, Xiaohei leaned against the slightly damp tree trunk, munching on wild fruit picked from who knows where, watching the battle ahead with keen interest.

He had seen such battles several times.

Though each time ended with a retreat, Xiaohei still watched with great enthusiasm.

Seeing the beast, which once had a grudge against him, roar so helplessly under Lin Zheyu's fists made him very happy.

Hiss—Chirp—

Seeing Lin Zheyu land a punch on the beast's nose, prompting a furious roar, Xiaohei excitedly cheered, seemingly supporting Lin Zheyu.

Bang—

Caught off guard, Lin Zheyu was slapped away by the beast's paw, crashing through several tree trunks before stopping.

He had wanted to seize the opportunity to attack the beast's neck, its weak point.

But unexpectedly, the beast was cunningly prepared, drawing Lin Zheyu to attack the weak point and then slapping him away in the moment.

"Can't hit it, this guy is too vigilant, it's protecting its weak spot well."

Lin Zheyu rubbed his chest, feeling some pain from the paw strike.

Fortunately, his physique was now as strong as a Bone Marrow Refining Realm beast, with tough skin and thick flesh, a mere paw strike posed no threat.

Roar!

The beast roared angrily, its eyes filled with cruelty.

Being entangled by this small creature despite clearly being weaker, yet unable to kill it, frustrated it greatly.

It roared, not waiting for Lin Zheyu to attack again, and charged first.

Lin Zheyu rolled to the side, dodging the beast's charge.

He then sprang up from the ground, continuing to rely on his superb Lightweight Skill to entangle with it.

Nine days had passed since last time.

Lin Zheyu had completely elevated the tenth level of Golden Swan Skill to perfection, enhancing his Body Technique even further.

Even without using Qi and Blood Burst Skill, relying on his ghostly agile skill, he could easily tangle with the beast.

A few minutes later.

The Qi blood power within his body was less than fifteen percent.

"Land a punch and then retreat," Lin Zheyu thought.

Continuing to fight would deplete his Qi blood power and leave him at the beast's mercy.

With a thought, his aura subtly intensified, as the Qi and Blood Burst Skill activated, concentrating six times his Qi blood power into his right arm.

Simultaneously, the momentum enhanced his fist, and the three-fold power Wild Bull Fist struck out viciously, with impressive might.

After this period of tempering, he could freely unleash the three-fold Wild Bull Fist, albeit only for four punches.

The punch force coupled with the fist skill, exceeding his normal output, greatly consumed his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Boom!

An eighteen-fold power punch landed on the beast's skull; Lin Zheyu felt as if he hit extremely hard black iron, his arm slightly numb.

The beast's skull was incredibly hard, with terrifying defense, impervious to his attacks.

The colossal force didn't cause lethal damage, but it did send the beast flying.

The enormous body flew backward for over ten meters, snapping several big trees before stopping.

Roar!

The beast let out an angry roar, not looking at Lin Zheyu as it turned to flee.

Now, Lin Zheyu did not need to escape; it was the beast trying to escape.

After several battles, it knew it couldn't defeat the person before it.

Though not very strong, he was incredibly annoying, with agile movements making him unkillable, making battles with Lin Zheyu utterly frustrating.

Seeing Lin Zheyu now, it wanted to turn and escape.

But how could Lin Zheyu let it run away so easily? He chased it every time, engaging in fierce combat to refine his Wild Bull Fist and punch momentum.

After an exhausting fight, when he had almost depleted his Qi blood, he would let it go.

"Its skull is really hard," Lin Zheyu couldn't help but exclaim.

With his current physique, that punch couldn't affect the beast, and instead made his own fist feel slightly numb.

If he could tame this beast as a mount, it would be a great choice.

Unfortunately, Lin Zheyu couldn't defeat it.

"Xiaohei, go hunt a beast and bring it back for roasting."

"Remember not to go to the wrong place, back to Cave 3."

Lin Zheyu glanced at the comfortably leaning Xiaohei munching on wild fruit, and directly commanded.

Hearing about roasted meat, the little creature's eyes lit up, it leapt up, letting the fruit roll out of its paws, not caring.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the forest.

After so much time, Lin Zheyu and Xiaohei were becoming increasingly synchronized.

Lin Zheyu didn't need to manage the beast for roasting or firewood; he just instructed the little guy, while he focused on roasting the meat.

Once Xiaohei was out of sight, Lin Zheyu picked up the Golden Scale Blade stuck in the ground and headed towards the cave safe zone.

Through time in the mountains, he had prepared multiple cave hideouts in this forest for sheltering during rain.

Gurgle, gurgle—

Taking out the water pouch from the bundle, he gulped several mouthfuls of high-concentration Blood-Nourishing and Bone-Strengthening Herbal Soup, instantly warming his belly.
