Don't Wet Yourself Later!

As the progress of Tiger Subduing Fist deepened, Fang Chen felt his strength growing and the toughness of his skin gradually increasing!

This constant positive feedback made him feel completely free from mental fatigue.

On the contrary, he even felt very addicted, wanting only to grind! To constantly experience the feeling of getting stronger!

Fang Chen understood that this was the advantage of the panel.

He could clearly see his progress with every repetition!

Fang Chen continuously ground his proficiency, feeling as exhilarating as leveling up in a game.

[Tiger Subduing Fist Proficiency +2]!

The sky gradually darkened.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Hai and the others, Fang Chen went straight home.

The road he took was different from usual, because his home's location had changed.

Fang Chen looked around, wanting to familiarize himself more with this new route.

At this moment, Fang Chen suddenly spotted a wanted poster.

The poster looked new, It must have been put up today.

It depicted a portrait of a middle-aged man with sinister eyes, stating:

[Wanted Traitor: Xu Yanfeng

Formerly of: Golden Scale Pavilion

Crime: Stole the Pavilion's precious treasure, "Cloud Silkworm Silk Armor," and fled.]

Fang Chen narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "Cloud Silkworm Silk Armor? That sounds like a very expensive type of soft armor."

"I heard it's very lightweight, and when worn for protection, you barely feel its weight."

"As for this Golden Scale Pavilion... I'm not too familiar with it."

Fang Chen continued to read, wanting to see the bounty.

[Reward: 500 taels of silver for capturing him alive or taking his life.

For providing accurate clues, a reward of 20 to 50 taels of silver depending on the value.]

Below, Xu Yanfeng's physical characteristics were also described in detail.

"Whoa... that's a lot of silver?"

Fang Chen was a bit surprised. Ordinary wanted posters didn't usually offer so much silver.

It must be that the Cloud Silkworm Silk Armor is indeed valuable, and Xu Yanfeng's strength is likely also considerable.

Continuing to read, he discovered a line of warning at the end, "This person is a powerhouse in the Sinew and Bone Realm. If you don't have sufficient strength, do not engage him!"

Upon seeing this, Fang Chen immediately dismissed the idea.

"A Sinew and Bone Realm powerhouse. If I fought him, I'd probably be killed easily."

"It seems this silver is not meant for me."

Fang Chen sighed softly, no longer dwelling on it, and continued on his way home.

The next morning, Fang Chen didn't go to the martial arts school. Instead, he planned to buy some self-defense items.

After all, he was going on an escort mission tomorrow, so it was better to be prepared.

Fang Chen first went to a weapon shop and bought a piece of soft armor.

It was an Iron-studded Leather Armor, with tanned cowhide as the base, and refined iron pieces inlaid on vital areas like the chest and back!

This kind of leather armor was more durable and offered better protection than cloth armor. It had good defense against ordinary sword cuts and thrusts, and could withstand most arrows.

This piece of soft armor cost Fang Chen fifty taels of silver. If it were custom-made, it would cost even more.

In addition to this, Fang Chen also acquired some lime, poison, corpse dissolving water, and other items, to prepare for any unusual situations.

After doing all this, Fang Chen then came to the martial arts school to continue his training.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

[Tiger Subduing Fist Proficiency +2]!

[Tiger Subduing Fist Proficiency +2]!

Tiger Subduing Fist steadily improved, and the Whirlwind Blade Technique was not neglected either. Every night, he would practice the technique in the open space in the backyard of his new residence.

His Whirlwind Blade Technique became even more proficient.

Fang Chen felt his combat strength had significantly increased since his breakthrough!

If he encountered demonic creatures, mountain bandits, or other enemies while escorting goods, he would naturally feel much more confident!

Time quickly passed, and the day for the escort mission arrived.

Outside the Tian Yuan Escort Agency, the entire escort team was ready to depart, with the goods already loaded onto the carriages. Fang Chen, wearing the agency's uniform, waited beside an old escort leader.

The chief escort leader gave a few instructions to the two men before ordering the team to set off.

As the carriage wheels creaked and slowly rolled out of the city, If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

Fang Chen gradually became familiar with some of the people.

A escort hand named Xu He said with a smile, "Brother Fang, since you're new here, you might not understand Old Master Liu's temperament."

"Although he speaks sternly, it's all for our own good."

Old Master Liu was what this group called the old escort leader.

Xu He whispered, "Old Master Liu used to have a nephew who also worked as an escort at the Tian Yuan Escort Agency."

"Later, due to a lack of practical combat experience, he had all the skill but died at the hands of mountain bandits."

"After that, Old Master Liu became even more strict, only wanting the escort team to be safer."

Fang Chen hadn't expected the old escort leader to have such a story.

No wonder his attitude had been so cold before...

He must have thought that someone like him, who got in through connections, lacked real strength, just like his nephew back then.

Firstly, he was concerned about the safety of the escort team, and secondly, he was concerned about Fang Chen's safety.

At this moment, the old escort leader rode his horse over. Upon seeing this, the escort hand Xu He quickly shut his mouth.

The old escort leader said to Fang Chen, "Come here, with me. I'll teach you some experience."

Fang Chen nodded and followed the old escort leader to the front of the team.

The old escort leader said, "If we encounter danger later, and you can't win, just give up. Don't force yourself."

"Someone like you, who hasn't experienced danger, usually can't perform at your normal skill level when encountering mountain bandits or demonic creatures."

"It's very possible to lose your life if you panic."

Fang Chen muttered to himself inwardly, "I've killed several people... although there wasn't much danger..."

Seeing Fang Chen's expressionless face, the old escort leader couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He felt that Fang Chen hadn't taken his words to heart and didn't realize the dangers of escorting goods.

"I hope this child won't be too arrogant when the time comes, or he'll lose his life for nothing."

The old escort leader shook his head and continued, "I've seen many people wet themselves the first time they saw a demonic creature."

"Don't be so undignified and bring shame upon us escorts."

Fang Chen, hearing something that interested him, took the opportunity to ask, "Old Master Liu, what do demonic creatures look like?"

The old escort leader replied, "Adult demonic creatures are very similar to us, except they retain some beast-like features."

"They like to eat people and are bloodthirsty by nature. Although they look similar to humans, they appear ferocious and terrifying, extremely ugly."

Fang Chen nodded and continued to ask for more information.

Old Master Liu patiently explained every question, hoping Fang Chen would gain more experience.

Listening to Old Master Liu's eloquent speech, Fang Chen felt his horizons broaden and listened even more attentively.

Some people in the escort team whose positions were not so important also quietly gathered around, listening to Old Master Liu recount various experiences.

Seeing that Fang Chen's attitude had finally become serious, Old Master Liu's expression improved slightly.

They continued on their way, chatting as they traveled.

Time quickly arrived at the afternoon of the second day after departure.

They had already reached their destination.

To Old Master Liu's delight, they hadn't encountered any major dangers along the way.

At most, they encountered some hungry wild beasts, but they were easily dealt with by others.

Fang Chen didn't even get a chance to make a move.

It was good that there was no danger. This trip, which only took four or five days, allowed him to earn a full hundred taels of silver. Silver truly came in quickly!

Just as Fang Chen thought there would be no more danger, time reached the evening of the third day.

Fang Chen and the others were making a fire, preparing to roast something to eat. However, they seemed to be short on firewood, so Old Master Liu sent a group of people to find some dry branches and fallen leaves in the nearby woods.

After a while, a sudden shout was heard!

"Demonic creatures! Prepare for battle!"

Everyone turned their gaze towards the woods, seeing several people from their group running back quickly.

Fang Chen frowned, observing carefully, but found nothing unusual.

It wasn't until that group had run a certain distance outwards

that some red lights suddenly appeared behind them!

To their horror, these red lights were becoming more and more numerous!

And they were rapidly closing in!

Old Master Liu shouted, "It's Red-eyed Bats! Everyone prepare to fight!"

"Those without combat strength, move to the center. Those with torches, stand on the perimeter and hold your torches high!"

Old Master Liu turned to Fang Chen and said, "Kid, don't you wet yourself from fear later!"
