Zhang Lin was shocked. He observed closely and discovered a small caterpillar at the center of the green energy.

At this moment, it was slowly growing, reaching an inch in length!

He didn't know what had happened, but it was clearly not good.

Having undergone the Great Body Tempering four times, his blood and qi should have been surging, powerful enough to crush any parasites.

Yet, this small caterpillar had managed to evade that, proving it wasn't ordinary.

With a thought, the White Tiger in his dantian opened its eyes, raised its front paw, and a blast of lightning qi spread out, enveloping the small caterpillar.

After much deliberation, he dispatched three more strands of blood qi to wrap around the remaining three markers.

Having done all this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He just needed to lay low for two more days!

That afternoon, the most talked-about event was the public beheading at the market.

The destruction of the Mass Grave Hill outside the city the previous night was also blamed on the Wild Boar Demon.

The remaining topic of conversation was the return of Widow Wang to her stall that afternoon, which was reportedly doing incredibly well.

The tofu shortage in Xiaolin City had temporarily eased. Otherwise, some restaurants would have had to purchase it from neighboring towns, which was quite inconvenient.

Nothing noteworthy happened that day. After eight in the evening, seeing that no one was around, Zhang Lin closed up early.

He continued to secretly discard the meals provided by the Delicious Restaurant.

After stopping to buy a few steamed buns, he once again exited the city through a secret passage, rushing to the Mass Grave Hill without delay.

At the same time, officials and members of the Demon Suppression Division were deployed in groups, led by an old Daoist, and began their arrangements within the city.

The forest outside the city was tranquil, punctuated by the occasional chirping of insects and birds.

Due to the frequent appearance of malevolent spirits, few people traveled outside at night, let alone ventured into deep mountain forests.

This world also had a moon at night, and its moonlight was much brighter than in his previous world.

Zhang Lin ran all the way and reached the Mass Grave Hill in no time.

Looking out, he saw dense clusters of lantern monsters had appeared again.

Without hesitation, he charged straight in, commencing his reaping.

His hands formed claws, and with each swing, large numbers of lantern monsters vanished.

At times, he opened his mouth and emitted several powerful sonic waves, causing the lantern monsters in his path to explode and perish on the spot.

It was a slaughter!

He was like a humanoid tiger, charging and crashing through the Mass Grave Hill, reaping wave after wave.

There were slightly more lantern monsters tonight than last night, resulting in a bountiful harvest of blue-white energy!

He was fortunate enough to encounter three mutated lantern monsters that night, which yielded even more effective blue-white energy.

It was these three mutated monsters that allowed him to undergo the Great Body Tempering twice in one night.

By his calculations, he was already at the sixth stage of the first realm!

Shortly after midnight, all the lantern monsters in the Mass Grave Hill had been eliminated without a single one remaining!

Just as Zhang Lin was about to sit down and rest, a massive figure suddenly lunged out from the forest again.

It was the Wild Boar Demon from last night!

The Wild Boar Demon's tusks had regrown, now less than a meter long. Compared to its previous tusks, which were over two meters long, they seemed insignificant.

The Wild Boar Demon's eyes were blood-red, mist spewing from its nostrils. It kept scraping its front hooves on the ground, its eyes fixed on Zhang Lin, its killing intent unreserved.

"You escaped last night, and now you've delivered yourself to my doorstep tonight!"

Zhang Lin stared at the Wild Boar Demon, noticing it was much stronger than last night.

He could tell from the demonic energy it exuded.

His guess was indeed correct!

After escaping last night, the Wild Boar Demon had run around blindly like a headless fly, desperate to get away from Zhang Lin.

However, while running, it stumbled upon a nearly thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma growing on a moss-covered rock face.

After digesting the Blood Ganoderma, it broke through its cultivation realm, equivalent to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm for humans.

Its greatly increased strength instantly gave it renewed confidence.

So, under the cover of night, it crept back and arrived near the Mass Grave Hill where it had fought Zhang You the previous night.

It hoped to find Zhang You, tear him to shreds, and then devour him to sate its hatred.

It hadn't expected fate to be so kind; the target was indeed at the Mass Grave Hill.

With enemies meeting, their eyes blazed with fury, and it charged forward on sheer anger.

It noticed Zhang You looked exhausted, feeling that its chance for revenge had greatly increased!

But what the Wild Boar Demon hadn't anticipated was that the opponent would launch a proactive attack again!

Isn't this asking for death?

The Wild Boar Demon was furious. With a couple of grunts, it charged forward.

"Bang!"

A powerful rush of air spread outwards from the point where they clashed.

A large pit had already appeared on the ground, with dust scattering everywhere!

Zhang You hadn't used his full strength just now, and the result was a stalemate!

"Interesting! Four Forms: White Tiger: Shatter Void!"

Zhang You increased his power and charged forward, directly using a martial skill he had just learned.

Seeing that he had fought to a draw with Zhang You, the Wild Boar Demon's confidence soared.

As he saw the opponent charge, it let out a loud roar and stomped down with its hoof, showing no signs of weakness.

But it had miscalculated. It didn't expect Zhang You to fight dirty and use a martial skill!

After all, martial skills were much stronger than brute force.

The two stances of the White Tiger that Zhang You had comprehended were martial skills.

"Crack!"

Without a doubt, with Zhang You deliberately holding back, the Wild Boar Demon's front hoof was instantly broken.

"Four Forms: White Tiger: Thunderclap!"

Before the Wild Boar Demon could recover, another silent sonic wave struck. Its head instantly turned into a mess. Its eyes rolled back, foam dripped from its mouth, and its massive body fell. After twitching twice, it died on the spot without even letting out a sound.

The overlord of Fanghu Forest, the Wild Boar Demon, perished!

Fanghu Forest was the name of the forest where Mass Grave Hill was located.

The Wild Boar Demon had been terrorizing the area for a long time. It was heard that over a dozen people from Xiaolin City and nearby villages had been eaten.

The blue-white energy provided by the Wild Boar Demon was of higher quality.

He was still some distance away from the next Great Body Tempering, but this wisp of blue-white energy allowed him to immediately undergo his seventh Great Body Tempering.

With experience, this Great Body Tempering finally passed, though not without some struggles.

This Great Body Tempering was much more intense than the previous two, but the pain was significantly less.

He sat on the ground, recovering his strength, and looked at the Wild Boar Demon's corpse ahead with some difficulty.

The corpse was currently emitting a strong demonic aura. Ordinary people who came into contact with it would likely be in mortal danger.

Besides, he didn't know how to handle such a large Wild Boar Demon.

He often heard that every part of a demon was a treasure, but Zhang You didn't know which parts were useful, let alone their specific functions.

"Troublesome!"

During his leisure time, Zhang You took out the unknown beast hide from his怀.

He hadn't examined it closely before. Now, aside from its toughness, it seemed to have no other notable features.

"Could it be that I need to drip blood to recognize it as my master?"

He thought about it, cut his finger, and dripped a drop of blood onto the beast hide.

"Huh! Something's happening!"

The beast hide suddenly flashed with a red light, then went silent again!

"That's it?"

He picked up the beast hide and looked at it from all sides. He even held it up to the moonlight, but still couldn't figure anything out.

Just then, the beast hide seemed to sense something. It instantly detached from Zhang You's hand and flew towards the Wild Boar Demon.

"Hmm?"

Soon, the beast hide stopped above the Wild Boar Demon's corpse and descended with strands of red light!

Then, an incredible scene unfolded!
