[Attribute Points: 2.5]

Before coming here, Lin Yuan had gained a total of 12 attribute points over three days at home. 8 points were directly used to master Yang Style Tai Chi, and the remaining 2 points were used to raise Arhat Fist to proficiency.

Each level Tai Chi increased, Agility, Stamina, and Flexibility would increase by 1 point, while Strength and Speed would increase by 0.5.

Arhat Fist increased Strength and Speed by 1.5 each, Agility by 1, and nothing else.

Now, his physical attributes, any single one of them, could be said to completely surpass that of an Olympic champion specializing in the same event, reaching a realm that humans could hardly attain.

Lin Yuan had already put on a pair of gloves.

The bristles on a wild boar were exceptionally hard. If he fought it barehanded, his hands would likely be twisted into knots. After all, he was still flesh and blood.

Lin Yuan's legs bent slightly, his Qi sank to his dantian, his arms lifted slightly, and his whole body relaxed, like willow catkins swaying in the wind.

In terms of aura, Lin Yuan's presence was clearly not as imposing as Han Housheng's had been earlier.

But at this moment, he seemed to have merged with everything around him.

The saying, "Others do not know me, but I alone know them," was precisely this.

Even a master who had immersed himself in martial arts for many years could not discern Lin Yuan's true state, let alone a mere wild boar.

The wild boar that charged straight at him did not slow down; in fact, it even accelerated by another three points.

Just as the boar was about three meters away from Lin Yuan, it suddenly leaped, its massive body lunging towards him.

One must know that a wild boar's sudden charge speed can reach 40 miles per hour. At such a speed, its impact could theoretically reach about 3 tons.

In the blink of an eye, the distance from the wild boar's head to Lin Yuan was no more than half a meter.

The people in the trees dared not watch the scene that followed.

At this moment, Lin Yuan made his move. He raised his right hand from bottom to top, in a scooping motion, and with lightning speed, grabbed the wild boar's chin.

Then, he drew his right leg back in a semicircle on the ground, retreating with the wild boar's chin held in his right hand.

This action alone had dissipated more than half of the wild boar's charging momentum.

Lin Yuan guided the wild boar, retreating another two steps. By this time, the wild boar's momentum had been mostly dissipated.

Just as the wild boar was about to hit the ground.

Lin Yuan swept his left hand through the air in an arc, like a gentle breeze brushing willow branches, and struck the wild boar's right ribs.

When there is Yang, there is Yin; when there is Yin, there is Yang.

Although this palm strike looked light and gentle, it contained a powerful force.

The current Lin Yuan, after mastering Yang Style Tai Chi, had long since comprehended the principle of Tai Chi's Yin and Yang, switching between Yin and Yang energy at will.

The moment the palm touched the wild boar, a bone-cracking sound could be heard.

The wild boar immediately let out a piercing scream.

But this was not the end.

The force of that palm strike was directed straight at the wild boar's internal organs; it was Yin energy, also known as hidden energy.

With this kind of force, the wild boar's body would not be deflected in another direction by an external force, as it would be with Yang energy striking it.

Therefore, Lin Yuan did not stop his attack.

The instant the palm strike ended, he suddenly lifted his right foot and fiercely kicked the wild boar in the abdomen.

This kick was a variation of a leg technique from Arhat Fist.

This kick was not Yin energy, but an extremely powerful Yang energy.

With this force, the wild boar was directly kicked several meters away.

The wild boar, which landed heavily on the ground, did not get up again. It writhed on the ground, emitting pained howls.

"Jiji—jiji—"

This scene stunned the people in the trees, who found it hard to believe that flesh and blood could accomplish such a feat.

"This…"

"Is this the Tai Chi you were talking about?" Xun Ruobing's eyes were filled with shock.

"Brother, do you think Tai Chi really has this kind of power?"

Xun Haotian was still immersed in the scene he had just witnessed and hadn't snapped out of it yet.

"I don't know either. I've seen many Tai Chi masters with my dad before, but I've never heard of anyone being able to fight wild boars with their bare hands."

Meanwhile, Han Fei, perched on another tree, was already incredibly excited.

"A Yuan sent the wild boar flying, he sent it flying, hahaha."

After finishing off one wild boar, Lin Yuan didn't stop. He casually used a rope to tie up Liu Shan, who was on the ground.

The sudden action made Liu Shan cry out.

"You... What do you want to do?"

Lin Yuan didn't have time to waste talking to him. He quickly and thoroughly tied Liu Shan up, then tossed him up as easily as if he were carrying a chick.

"Ah—" Liu Shan screamed.

Unlike when he tossed Zhao Youjia before, Liu Shan's body spun around a tree branch in the air. Then, Lin Yuan grabbed the other end of the rope and secured it to the main trunk of the tree.

This left Liu Shan suspended in mid-air, held only by the rope.

The reason he didn't use the previous method was that he didn't think this good-for-nothing could grab onto the tree trunk.

This maneuver completely stunned everyone.

Xun Ruobing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After dealing with this one, Lin Yuan didn't dare to linger. He quickly moved to Han Housheng's side, who was dodging and weaving, fending off the remaining two wild boars.

At this moment, Han Housheng was already covered in wounds.

Besides multiple abrasions, there was a shocking gash on his thigh.

Seeing Lin Yuan approach, the two wild boars stopped their assault.

Lin Yuan patted Han Housheng on the shoulder.

He said softly, "Uncle Han, you've worked hard. Please step aside for now."

Han Housheng looked at him and nodded. He had naturally seen the scene of Lin Yuan dealing with the wild boars with a single move.

He knew that if he stayed, he would only be a burden.

"A Yuan, be careful."

After speaking, he handed his Pudao to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan took the Pudao with one hand, signaling him to rest assured.

Han Housheng stood up with difficulty, dragging his bleeding leg, and slowly walked towards his younger brother.

"Brother!"

Han Shusheng agilely descended from the tree and rushed towards his brother.

"Brother—" Han Shusheng didn't know what to say when he saw his brother, only that tears streamed down his face.

A faint smile appeared on Han Housheng's pale face. "I'm not dead yet!"

Lin Yuan stood holding the Pudao in one hand, scanning the two wild boars before him and the wild boar king standing on the slope.

The wild boar king was also staring at him.

Silence fell upon the valley once more, and everyone held their breath.

Even the birds in the forest seemed to sense something and dared not chirp.

Around them, only the sound of the autumn wind flowing through the valley and the rustling of leaves could be heard.
