Ye Bingxue

Seeing there were no more chickens to kill, Hua Qiang stopped what he was doing and sat down to rest.

He couldn't appear too eager for quick gains, lest everyone grow suspicious.

After an hour of high-intensity work, his body was starting to give out.

Ye Wendao handed him a cup of water. Hua Qiang took it and drained it in one gulp.

Huff—

After letting out a long breath, he summoned the Void Panel.

Name: Hua Qiang

Age: 18

Talent: Slaughter (Hidden, Activated)

Realm: Trash

Blood Qi: 89.4

Cultivation Technique: None

Weapon: None

Combat Skill: Fatal Slash (Yellow Grade) +

Slaughter Points: 152

Looking at his attributes on the panel, Hua Qiang noticed a change in the combat skill section.

It displayed the Yellow Grade martial art Fatal Slash, with a small plus sign after it.

This probably consumed Slaughter Points to upgrade it directly.

Hua Qiang was secretly thrilled. This golden finger was worth keeping!

Just by watching Dad kill chickens, he had comprehended a martial art. Did that mean that if he watched others use combat skills to kill enemies or fight, he could comprehend martial arts of all kinds and grades in the future?

He was really looking forward to it!

Seeing the 152 Slaughter Points, Hua Qiang directly tapped the area behind his blood qi value.

The Slaughter Points on the Void Panel instantly dropped to zero.

His blood qi rose by 15.2, jumping straight to 104.6.

At once, a powerful force surged within him and flooded into his limbs and bones. He felt as if his entire body was brimming with inexhaustible strength.

As he clenched his fists, his knuckles crackled. He felt like he could punch a cow to death.

Awesome!

With 104.6 blood qi, he had crossed the threshold for the Martial Arts Examination.

A month later, he could register for the Martial Arts Assessment.

The exhaustion from killing chickens vanished without a trace. He was bursting with vitality and incomparably alert.

He touched his stomach and felt that it had shrunk a little more. His whole body had slimmed down by a full circle.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before his 280-pound weight returned to a normal level.

The word "fatty" would become history from now on!

Ye Wendao kept examining his son. He felt that Hua Qiang had undergone a tremendous change, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Father, why do you keep staring at me? Do I have flowers on my face?" Hua Qiang felt awkward under Ye Wendao's gaze and asked.

Ye Wendao shook his head and smiled. "No. I just feel like you're a little more handsome than before, and maybe a little thinner too."

Hehehe!

"Maybe it was all that high-intensity work just now. I sweated all over, so there were some changes!"

"But starting tomorrow, I'm going to lose weight!"

"I, Hua Qiang, am going to become the most handsome guy in this world!"

Hahahaha...

The workers resting nearby were all amused by Hua Qiang's words, and the atmosphere immediately turned cheerful.

Everyone began teasing Hua Qiang.

"Qiangzi, your uncle has a daughter, pretty as a flower. If you slim down, I'll marry my daughter to you!"

"Give it a rest, Old Li. Your daughter is already twenty-six, and she looks like Ruhua. Are you trying to let your daughter's old cow eat tender grass and ruin our Qiangzi?"

If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. Maybe it was simply renamed!

"Xi Gou, you still love telling the truth so much. Look, Old Li's face has gone green."

"Hahahaha..."

"You don't need to rack your brains over this. If Qiangzi slims down, he'll definitely be a huge hunk. Would he still need to worry about finding a wife?"

"Wouldn't those girls be throwing themselves onto his bed? Hahahaha!"

A bearded man teased him with a mocking grin.

Ye Wendao's face was also filled with a happy smile. If his son really slimmed down, he would definitely be one handsome young man.

After all, his features were right there. They were very good-looking!

That evening, several rare hearty dishes were laid out on the table. The family sat together, first celebrating Hua Qiang's eighteenth birthday, then happily eating and drinking.

Liu Li also noticed the changes in Hua Qiang and kept studying him.

The longer she looked, the wider her smile became.

Hua Qiang had not originally been this fat. He had even been somewhat thin.

But several years ago, he suddenly fell ill, and after that, things spiraled out of control. His weight shot up from 140 pounds to 280 pounds.

The couple had been worried sick.

They had taken him to the hospital many times, but nothing ever worked.

They had never expected a turning point to come today. Their son had actually lost weight.

Though it was only a little, it was a good sign.

A constant smile also lingered on Ye Bingxue's delicate face.

The moment Hua Qiang returned home, she had noticed the changes in him.

His physique, body shape, personality... all of them were changing for the better.

How could that not make her happy?

The brother who had protected her since childhood, who always charged ahead when something happened, fought ruthlessly, and never allowed anyone to bully her, was about to return...

"Stop smiling. If you keep smiling, you'll turn silly!" Hua Qiang couldn't help teasing her.

"Hmph! What's it to you? I'm happy!" Ye Bingxue scrunched her dainty nose and replied haughtily.

"Alright, alright, as long as you're happy!"

Hua Qiang took out the C-grade Blood Qi Powder from his pocket and handed it to Ye Bingxue.

"Little sister, here. Old brother has a gift for you!"

Ye Bingxue quickly stood up and waved both hands. "Brother, today is your birthday. I didn't even give you a gift, so why are you giving one to me instead?"

"This is too valuable. I can't accept it."

"Brother, where did you get this? How did you have the money to buy Blood Qi Powder? It costs tens of thousands!"

Ye Wendao and Liu Li's expressions abruptly changed as well. They stared hard at Hua Qiang, waiting for an explanation.

"Son, where did this come from?"

"Our family currently can't afford something like this. You didn't do anything bad, did you?" Liu Li asked, her voice trembling.

Hua Qiang inwardly cried that things had gone wrong and hurriedly said, "My desk mate Wang Baoyuan gave it to me. If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask."

Ye Wendao, Liu Li, and Ye Bingxue all let out long breaths.

If Wang Baoyuan had given it to him, then it was fine.

They all knew about the relationship between Hua Qiang and Wang Baoyuan, and Wang Baoyuan's family wasn't short on money.

"Feeling relieved now? Little sister, take what old brother gives you properly. Try to raise your blood qi a little more before the college entrance examination!"

"Old brother believes in you!"

Ye Bingxue was deeply moved. Her eyes reddened slightly as she firmly shook her head. "Brother, my blood qi has already far surpassed the Martial Arts Examination line. You should use this Blood Qi Powder yourself. You need it more than I do!"

"That's right, son. Take it yourself and try to reach the Martial Arts Examination line!" Liu Li hurriedly urged. Ye Wendao nodded in agreement as well.

Warmth surged through Hua Qiang's heart. He was deeply moved. He really liked this family; his sense of belonging was incredibly strong!

"Little sister, listen to your brother. My situation is a little special. I don't need this stuff. I'll give you all a surprise when the time comes!"

"Really?" Ye Bingxue asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's true, truer than real gold!" Hua Qiang was practically ready to swear an oath.

"Alright! I'll accept it."

Ye Bingxue revealed an incomparably beautiful smile, then said viciously, "If you dare lie to me, I'll make sure you die an ugly death!"

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time!
