Iron Yak

"It seems that besides the stamina boost marked on the scroll, my other attributes also improved somewhat after the rock sheep entered my body. It's just that the extent of this improvement wasn't enough to be recorded on the Mountain Sea Scroll, but the enhancement to myself is real."

While thinking, he once again assumed his boxing stance.

With something in his belly this time, coupled with the stamina boost effect, Lin Sheng clearly felt his condition was much better than before.

Lin Hong and Xie Guilan, seeing Lin Sheng practicing, didn't disturb him and returned to their rooms to rest early.

Lin Sheng only felt a hint of fatigue after practicing until late into the night. He didn't continue, quickly washed up, and went to bed.

The next day, as dawn broke, Lin Sheng opened his eyes. He felt invigorated all over. Even though he had been so engrossed in practice until late last night, he didn't feel tired at all.

He went to work at the slaughterhouse, and by the afternoon...

Finishing his work and practicing martial arts, Lin Sheng's schedule was very regular.

Another three days quickly passed. During this time, Tian Hu also came to check on everyone's progress. After briefly answering one or two questions from Wu Gang, he left in a hurry.

The initial joy of the skinners being able to practice martial arts had also faded considerably. After a week of practice, they realized that practicing martial arts was not as easy as they had imagined.

No, it was much, much harder than they had imagined.

After a week, most of them were already exhausted. Forget practicing, they couldn't even complete their work quota in the slaughterhouse. The wages deducted over the week felt like pieces of flesh being ripped from them.

And if they focused their energy on work, they wouldn't have much time to practice martial arts, causing their already slow progress to stagnate further.

Therefore, quite a few of the skinners were starting to have second thoughts about continuing.

Lin Sheng, however, paid no attention to any of this. Over the past three days, he clearly felt his progress in the Raging Bull Fist.

It was progress he could genuinely feel every day, and he was not far from achieving mastery.

After finishing work, Lin Sheng went to Crock Street and arrived at the butcher's stall.

"Little Brother Lin, I've brought your bull's blood."

Seeing Lin Sheng appear, the butcher smiled, put down the cleaver in his hand, wiped his hands with a greasy rag, and took out a sealed crock from under the counter.

"Here are 10 jin of bull's blood for you."

"Good."

Lin Sheng took the heavy crock, a smile appearing on his face. He took out 20 large coins from his pocket and handed them directly to the butcher. He also bought 5 jin of pig offal before quickly heading home.

"The bull's blood has finally arrived."

The 15 jin of items felt quite heavy in his arms. If he had carried this much before, he would have been gasping for breath from exhaustion. But now, he ran all the way home without feeling any fatigue.

He hung the offal on the eaves of the house and carried the crock back to his room.

Taking a deep breath, he then opened the seal of the crock.

"Let's see if it works."

As the seal was opened, a bloody smell wafted out. Lin Sheng reached out and gently submerged his hand into the viscous blood within the crock.

The next moment, a hazy, blood-red mist appeared in the void space within his consciousness.

The blood-red mist converged and twisted, transforming into a massive wild bull in the blink of an eye.

It was a giant bull, nearly four meters long and three meters tall.

Its chest was broad, its limbs thick, its head large with long horns, and its two curved legs resembled spears. Its entire body was dark brown, covered in extremely dense fur.

Although this wasn't the first time he had seen the beasts of this world, and he had naturally seen other beasts in the slaughterhouse besides rock sheep, he could say that the beasts in this world were noticeably larger than those on Earth in his previous life.

The giant bull formed by the blood mist was almost comparable to some elephants from his previous life.

[Beast Name: Iron Yak (Common)]
[A common bovine beast, relatively more irritable than ordinary domesticated cattle, strong and durable. Classified as Common grade.]
[Assimilation Requirement: None]
[Assimilation Effect: Strength +1, Stamina +1]

"It has two special attributes!?"

Seeing the information about the Iron Yak from the Mountain Sea Scroll, Lin Sheng was both surprised and delighted.

He naturally knew about the Iron Yak.

It was an excellent helper for farming.

However, this was a prerequisite if the Iron Yak had been artificially domesticated. The Iron Yak in his consciousness space was clearly not domesticated; it was a wild Iron Yak.

This Iron Yak was clearly much larger than the domesticated ones he had seen, and untamed Iron Yaks were quite ferocious, with ordinary people not daring to provoke them.

"It seems the bull's blood Butcher Zhang got for me is quite good."

Thinking this, Lin Sheng didn't hesitate and directly chose to assimilate the Iron Yak.

As his consciousness fluctuated, the image of the rock sheep in the space blurred and then completely dissipated, turning into nothingness.

The Iron Yak then occupied the space where the rock sheep had been.

After a while, when Lin Sheng opened his eyes and his consciousness returned, the crock filled with blood before him was already empty.

Ten jin of yak blood was completely absorbed by him, but thankfully it was just enough for the Iron Yak to enter his body.

"It seems that next time I undergo the process, I'll need to prepare more blood. Otherwise, if the body's blood requirements aren't met, it won't be worth the effort."

As the integration completed, Lin Sheng felt his body lighten. With a slight exertion, the black ceramic pot in his hand shattered.

He quickly stopped, feeling his body fill with strength, as if he could punch a giant crater into the ground with a single blow.

He understood that this sensation was due to the sudden surge in his strength.

He paused, adapting to the surging power within his body, and finally went into the yard. His gaze fell upon the stone roller in the center. He then grabbed the stone roller with both hands and, with a surge of effort, lifted it directly.

It was important to note that this stone roller weighed a full two hundred jin, yet he lifted it with such ease.

After holding the stone roller up and moving it back and forth a dozen times, Lin Sheng finally felt he had reached his limit and placed the stone roller back down.

"Hoo..."

He exhaled heavily, his eyes filled with emotion.

"I didn't expect my strength to increase so much."

Before awakening the Mountain Sea Scroll, even if he could move the stone roller in the yard, he wouldn't have been able to lift it more than a few times. It was only after the rock sheep entered his body that he could barely lift it, and even then, he certainly couldn't do what he just did.

His strength had likely surpassed the limits of ordinary people.
