White Ape Snatching the Moon

With that, one punch and one kick, two cultivation methods at my disposal, plus the amplification effect of the Mountain and Sea Scroll entering my body, I believe I will definitely be considered a master among those in the Body Tempering realm.

The reason he was so eager to improve his martial arts cultivation was naturally to ensure his own safety when undertaking missions in Yangping Mountain.

After all, he hadn't forgotten why the Beast Hunter Hall was recruiting hunters ahead of time.

The beast tide in Yangping Mountain.

Since entering the Beast Hunter Hall, he had gained a certain understanding of Yangping Mountain.

Yangping Mountain experienced a beast tide roughly every four years. During these times, the number of exotic beasts in Yangping Mountain would increase significantly, and some rare Spirit Beasts would even appear. Spirit Beasts like the Red-bellied Spirit Snake would definitely appear, and not just one.

In fact, most of the Spirit Beasts ranked highly in the Hundred Beasts Scroll had appeared during beast tides.

Although the scope of the Yangping Mountain beast tide was generally confined to Yangping Mountain and didn't greatly affect the areas below the mountain, even if some exotic beasts descended the mountain, they were mostly ordinary wild beasts.

However, the Town Mountain Tower would naturally not let this opportunity pass. Every beast tide was the busiest time for the Beast Hunter Hall, as they would organize a large number of hunters to enter Yangping Mountain to hunt rare exotic beasts that were usually hard to find.

But that was also the most dangerous time in Yangping Mountain. Although experts from the Town Mountain Tower would lead the way, they naturally couldn't look after ordinary hunters like them.

This was why the Beast Hunter Hall recruited hunters in large numbers before every Yangping Mountain beast tide. However, after the beast tide ended, how many of these hunters would remain was entirely up to fate.

He had also indirectly asked Zhang Ding, and it was considered good if half the people survived.

This was why Lin Sheng was desperately trying to improve his strength, and there was also the threat from the Tooth Gang.

Although he believed he had dealt with Liu Ergou and the others very discreetly, there was no guarantee there wouldn't be any slip-ups. Therefore, improving his strength as much as possible was always the right thing to do.

For two days, Lin Sheng basically stayed in his courtyard, diligently practicing the White Ape Leg Technique.

Later, when another mission came, perhaps it was his good luck, but this mission was the same as the previous one with the horned badger; it wasn't a particularly difficult task.

He completed the mission successfully in two days, with only two people sustaining minor injuries among the group.

As for Ma Qiang, he hadn't provoked anyone actively since that day. It was as if he had forgotten about it, and whenever he saw Lin Sheng, he would actively avoid him.

This surprised Lin Sheng a little, but he was happy with it. After all, it was better to have one less problem than one more. If the other party didn't actively cause trouble, it was best for him.

Yangping Town.

On this day, in the courtyard, Lin Sheng's movements were like a monkey's, constantly shifting and evading within the yard.

The courtyard had changed significantly compared to before. About twenty thick wooden stakes, as thick as a bowl, were planted in the yard.

Lin Sheng was currently standing on one of the stakes, his body constantly changing. Suddenly, his legs bulged by a circle, and then he stomped heavily on a wooden stake.

With a muffled thud, the wooden stake immediately split into four. Lin Sheng then leaped off the stake.

"After three days, I've finally cultivated the White Ape Leg Technique to minor accomplishment."

A hint of joy appeared on his face. He could clearly feel that his strength had improved considerably compared to before.

Especially in terms of speed and reaction, it was roughly equivalent to the agility boost of 1 when he entered the body of the horned badger.

Of course, besides this, the White Ape Leg Technique seemed to be even stronger than he had imagined.

In addition to the boost in speed, this leg technique also possessed considerable lethality.

The kick he used to shatter the wooden stake just now was a killing move from the minor accomplishment stage of the White Ape Leg Technique, called White Ape Snatching the Moon.

This was something the minor accomplishment stage of the Raging Bull Fist lacked. From this point, it could be seen that the White Ape Leg Technique should be considered quite good among third-rate martial arts. This complete third-rate martial art was enough for him to cultivate to the early stage of Muscle Forging.

Just as Lin Sheng was in high spirits due to his cultivation breakthrough, someone else was also in a good mood on the other side.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Ma Qiang slammed his palm onto a bluestone slab in front of him. In an instant, the bluestone slab, which was two inches thick, shattered.

"Hahaha... I've finally broken through."

Ma Qiang threw his head back and laughed, his face filled with unspeakable joy.

His talent wasn't as outstanding as his elder brother's, and he had started learning martial arts a bit late, which was why he hadn't been able to enter the Body Tempering realm.

Therefore, he always disliked those so-called geniuses. This was why whenever a new recruit with good talent joined the team, he would proactively spar with them and give them a hard time to satisfy his vanity.

And today, with the help of a Blood Cultivating Pill, he had finally crossed this threshold and entered the Body Tempering realm, which relieved much of his pent-up frustration from the past few days.

"From now on, I, Ma Qiang, can also be considered a true Body Tempering martial artist."

He exhaled heavily, and his expression suddenly contorted.

"You little brat, just you wait. I will definitely repay the humiliation from that day tenfold."

"Xiao Qiang, have you broken through?"

At this moment, a deep voice sounded from outside the room, and then the door was pushed open. A tall man, who bore some resemblance to Ma Qiang, strode in.

The man immediately noticed the change in Ma Qiang and smiled.

"Good, you didn't waste that Blood Cultivating Pill. The medicinal effects should not have been fully absorbed yet. Take advantage of the remaining efficacy and continue cultivating; don't waste it."

The person who came was Ma Qiang's elder brother, Captain Ma Long of the third team in the Beast Hunter Hall, a master of the Muscle Forging realm.

As Ma Long spoke, he took out a small brocade box from his bosom and placed it on the table.

"This contains the second Blood Cultivating Pill. You should only use it after you've stabilized your Blood Essence in the Body Tempering realm. At that time, it should help to some extent to compensate for the Blood Essence obstacles caused by your late start in cultivation."

"Thank you, Brother."

Ma Qiang immediately nodded, a hint of excitement appearing on his face. He knew very well the value of the Blood Cultivating Pill.

Despite his usual arrogance, he felt both respect and fear towards his elder brother. He knew that his current standing was all thanks to him; otherwise, given his circumstances, let alone reaching the Body Tempering realm, it was questionable if he could even practice martial arts at all.

"Xiao Qiang, since you've successfully entered Body Tempering, there's no need for you to continue staying with Wang Sanyang. I'll speak to him in a few days, and you can stay by my side. I'll assign you some people to manage and ensure your safety. Reaching the Body Tempering realm should also be enough to silence any gossip."

Ma Long said calmly. He cared quite a bit for his younger brother, as his achievements in cultivation would greatly benefit their Ma family in the future.

Upon hearing this, Ma Qiang was taken aback and quickly spoke up.

"Next month, Big Brother. I'll go next month. I still have some unfinished business with Captain Wang."

"Oh!?"

Ma Long raised his eyes and swept a glance over him. Ma Qiang felt as if he had been completely seen through.

"What is it? Is it about that new kid in your ninth team? If I recall correctly, his name should be Lin Sheng."
