Family's Shock!

In Falling Leaf Forest, the very place where Hua Qiang had slain Tan Guoqiang and his two companions, a man in his early thirties, thin and gaunt, with a black mole covered in a single strand of hair on his right cheek, stared at the three corpses with a look of dread.

Tan Guoqiang and his men had intended to use Hua Qiang to lure the two giant apes into a trap, buying themselves time to escape.

Later, Hua Qiang had confronted the two giant apes, killing them both single-handedly. It was then that Tan Guoqiang and his two lackeys had shamelessly attempted to loot the spoils, only to have their heads severed by Hua Qiang's blade. This entire event had been witnessed by the man who was currently observing the scene.

At the time, he had been hiding in the forest, perched atop a tree.

The actions of the first three men had made him feel a sense of disdain, but Hua Qiang's subsequent display of power had nearly made his eyes pop out of his head.

This person is too strong!

It was only after Hua Qiang and Mo Yanran had been gone for a long time that he finally descended from the tree, emerged from the forest, and approached the three corpses.

His gaze was complex, and his expression was incredibly vivid.

Finally, as if having made a decision, he collected the three bodies into a storage bag and then sprinted rapidly in the direction of the city.

Hua Qiang, however, was unaware of any of this.

It was precisely because of this man's appearance that Hua Qiang would later face much trouble, though he would also reap considerable benefits.

Sitting in a taxi, Hua Qiang brought up the Void Panel to check his own attributes.

Name: Hua Qiang Age: 18 Talent: Slaughter (Hidden, Activated) Blood Qi: 524.6 Realm: High-level Martial Artist Cultivation Method: Brute Ox Strength (Perfected) Combat Skills: Killing Strike (Perfected), Savage Blade Slash (Perfected), Prediction (Perfected) Weapon: Dark Gold Great Saber Slaughter Points: 3960

Seeing the Slaughter Points, Hua Qiang's heart burned with anticipation.

If he were to invest all of them into Blood Qi, he could directly leap past the peak Martial Artist stage and enter the Martial Master realm.

He suppressed the urge to advance. He had only just been certified as a low-level Martial Artist yesterday, and now, just one day later, he had become a Martial Master. The speed of his growth was too astonishing!

If anyone were to find out, they would surely capture him and dissect him.

He suspected he had stumbled upon an incredible fortunate encounter, and greedy individuals might covet what he possessed, bringing him immense trouble.

After some thought, he added 100 points to the Blood Qi stat.

Instantly, his Blood Qi became 624.6.

The moment he added the Blood Qi, a surge of aura flashed and vanished from his body.

The feeling of power intoxicated him.

The taxi driver, seemingly sensing the change in the person sitting in the back seat, was startled and then filled with envy.

This young man is definitely a Martial Artist!

They are the kind of people we ordinary folk dream of becoming.

Hua Qiang disembarked near his home at a local farmers' market. After paying the fare, he went inside and made a substantial purchase.

His storage bag still contained meat from some Level 1 Exotic Beasts, like rabbits and wild chickens. Tonight, he would let his family taste the flavor of these exotic beasts.

At 8 PM, Ye Bingxue was the first to return home.

Standing at the doorstep, she caught the enticing aroma wafting from under the door. She couldn't help but swallow, then eagerly pushed the door open and hurried to the table.

Her mouth fell open at the sight of the numerous dishes, exuding color, aroma, and flavor, laid out on the table.

Drool streamed down the corners of her mouth.

Braised Rabbit Meat, Pheasant Stew with Mushrooms, Braised Pig Trotters, Sizzling Pork Intestines, Lobster…

One impressive dish after another was presented before her. These were all delicacies she loved but rarely got to eat.

Except for during the holidays!

"Brother, did you go to the slaughterhouse again today? How much did you earn?"

Ye Bingxue's first thought was that Hua Qiang had earned some money at the slaughterhouse and bought these delicious ingredients, meaning she could feast once again.

Hua Qiang emerged from the kitchen, carrying a bowl of savory soup.

Seeing Ye Bingxue's ravenous expression, he couldn't help but smile.

If you find this book enjoyable, please add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it.

"Little sister, go wash your hands. Dinner is almost ready!"

"Brother, wait! Mom and Dad aren't home yet!"

"No need to wait. They'll be home by the time you finish washing your hands."

Hua Qiang's hearing was sharp; he had already heard the footsteps of Ye Wendao and Liu Li coming upstairs.

Ye Bingxue was obedient and ran to the kitchen to wash her hands and face.

When she came out again, she indeed saw her parents standing in front of the table, looking at the food with the same expression she had earlier.

"Son, where did you get the money to buy such good ingredients?"

"This is exotic beast meat, that must have cost a lot!"

"Dad, Mom, it's time to eat. I didn't spend any money on this exotic beast meat."

"What? Didn't cost any money? Did someone kindly give us exotic beast meat to eat?"

"Heh, let's chat while we eat!"

"Oh, right!" He seemed to remember something and looked at Ye Bingxue, asking, "Little sister, have you used that Blood Qi Powder yet? What's your Blood Qi level now?"

Hearing Hua Qiang ask, Ye Bingxue immediately got excited.

"Brother, my Blood Qi has reached 162 points, which already surpasses the threshold for a low-level Martial Artist."

"I plan to go for testing tomorrow to see if I can be certified as a Martial Artist."

"From then on, I can receive subsidies for the family, and even earn money to improve our family's life!"

Heh heh!

Hua Qiang chuckled twice, then said seriously, "Congratulations, little sister. Tomorrow after school, I'll go with you for the certification to cheer you on."

"With your lucky charm, your brother, here, you'll definitely be certified successfully!"

Hee hee hee!

"Thank you, brother. Xue'er will take your good words to heart. I'll pour you a spoonful of soup!"

The family of four sat down, the atmosphere very pleasant.

Ye Wendao took a couple of bites, his eyes staring blankly at Hua Qiang, waiting for his explanation.

Liu Li also looked at Hua Qiang anxiously. They were eager to know what had happened today.

The value of this meal alone exceeded their combined monthly salary!

Their family's circumstances were not enough to afford such a delicacy.

Ye Bingxue, on the other hand, was heartily devouring the food without a care in the world, because she knew her parents were even more anxious than she was about the things she wanted to know.

Seeing the situation, Hua Qiang knew he had to explain; otherwise, it would be difficult to proceed with the move and related matters later.

He reached into his pocket and took out the hexagonal badge, a symbol of a Martial Artist's status, and placed it on the table.

Ye Wendao and Liu Li's eyes immediately widened, and a surge of ecstasy washed over them.

"Son, this is your badge, you've become a Martial Artist?"

Hua Qiang nodded. Before he could speak, Ye Bingxue jumped up on the spot.

"Wow!"

"Brother, you're amazing! You actually became a Martial Artist?"

"Oh! We have a Martial Artist in our family now, our family has produced a dragon!"

The girl couldn't contain her excitement and cheered joyfully.

Her voice was so loud, it felt like everyone in the entire building, the entire residential area, could hear it.

"Son, when did this happen?"

Hua Qiang smiled and said, "I was certified yesterday!"

The expressions on Ye Wendao and Liu Li's faces were complex.

They knew that their son had been overweight and had low Blood Qi before.

In the past two days, they felt as if everything had changed!

Their son's temperament had changed, and his demeanor and actions were different from before.

Most importantly, his Blood Qi had risen, and he had successfully been certified as a Martial Artist.

This indicated that his strength and Blood Qi had undergone earth-shattering changes compared to before.

What unknown events had transpired in between?
