Strength of One Bull

"The rewards have been placed in the system storage space. You only need to think about it to open the system panel."

After saying that, the system fell silent.

Name: Qin Hao
Strength: 300 jin
Technique: Barbarian Bull Fist, not initiated (0/1)
Attribute Points: 10
Items: Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, Divine Thunder Barbarian Dragon bloodline
Bloodline: None

Seeing the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art and Divine Thunder Barbarian Dragon bloodline in the item section, Qin Hao did not hesitate and directly willed them into use.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for learning the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Divine Thunder Barbarian Dragon bloodline."

Qin Hao felt his entire body burn up as his flesh rapidly expanded.

In an instant, Qin Hao's height shot from 1.8 meters to 1.9 meters. His muscles swelled violently as well, and the agonizing pain nearly made him pass out. Only after several minutes did the pain begin to fade. Qin Hao collapsed weakly onto the ground, gulping down air.

It took him quite a while to recover. He opened his eyes and looked at his thick, powerful limbs. He was even more burly than before. A twelve-year-old boy stood taller and more muscular than an adult, yet he still wore a baby face. The contrast was utterly bizarre.

Even Qin Hao wanted to laugh. But none of that mattered now. In this world, only strength was everything.

Qin Hao opened the panel and examined his current attributes.

Name: Qin Hao
Strength: Strength of one bull, 7,800 jin

Technique: Barbarian Bull Fist, not initiated (0/1); Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art, not initiated (0/100)

Attribute Points: 10

Bloodline: Divine Thunder Barbarian Dragon bloodline (0.01%)

He had merely fused a trace of the bloodline, yet his strength had surged by more than seven thousand jin. Qin Hao dared not imagine how far his physical strength would rise if the bloodline fully awakened. Perhaps he could punch a hole through the heavens with one fist. The thought alone made him excited.

Still, he calmed down and carefully studied his system. Qin Hao spent one Attribute Point on the Barbarian Bull Fist, and it leaped directly from not initiated to the beginner level. A surge of power flooded into his limbs. Qin Hao could feel that his strength had increased again. Looking at the panel, he saw that his strength had risen by another five hundred jin. He had now surpassed 8,300 jin.

"Ding, Barbarian Bull Fist initiated."

Attribute Points could be added to techniques, allowing them to rapidly break through and strengthen his physical body.

As for bloodlines, they could not receive points. He could only wait and see whether the system gave him any prompts later, or explore it himself.

Qin Hao could not even be bothered to eat before walking out of his house.

When Qin Hao reached the doorway, his gaze fell on a large boulder. It stood as tall as half a man and looked extremely heavy. Excitement rose in his heart. His physical strength had already reached the enormous force of 8,300 jin. It was time to test just how powerful it truly was.

He drew a deep breath and slowly walked to the boulder. Resting his hands lightly on it, he heard a dull thud. The boulder actually rose into the air in one hand. Surprise flashed through Qin Hao's eyes. He had not expected his strength to be this great.

"This strength is truly astonishing. It seems I've made considerable progress in tempering my body. But this is only the beginning. My goal is to become even stronger."

Qin Hao steadied his breathing, slowly raised the boulder over his head, then fiercely shoved it forward. With a tremendous boom, the boulder smashed heavily into the ground, making the earth tremble. Qin Hao could not help feeling deeply shaken. This power was simply too terrifying.

"It seems I still need to train even harder to gain better control over this power. But with such strength in my hands, I'm full of confidence for the future." Qin Hao took another deep breath and prepared for a second attempt. This time, he would throw the boulder high into the air and catch it again. With a fierce burst of force, he hurled the boulder skyward. Just as it was about to fall, Qin Hao leaped up and caught it with both hands.

"Haha, I'm seriously incredible! Strength like this is simply unimaginable." Although Qin Hao had spent some time in this world, heard all sorts of things, and knew that others possessed strength even more inconceivable than his, he now truly possessed this inhuman power himself.

He could not help feeling as though he were dreaming. The sensation of possessing such tremendous strength was simply too wonderful.

Qin Hao tossed the boulder into the sky again. Then, staring at it, he assumed a stance to gather power. Veins bulged along his right arm. With a fierce shout, he charged toward the falling boulder.

"Barbarian Bull Fist!"

His fist struck the boulder, and it exploded with a boom. Fragments of stone shot in every direction.

After doing all that, Qin Hao looked at his fist. Aside from a slight redness, there was not a single wound. Sure enough, as his strength rose, his defense increased accordingly.

Just as Qin Hao was rejoicing over his strength, he heard a voice from afar.

"Little Hao! Your Uncle Li has come to see you."

The visitor was Li Kang, one of Qin Hao's father's old friends. Mangshan Village was not inhabited solely by the Qin Clan; some outsiders lived there as well.

"Uncle Li, why are you here?"

Seeing the middle-aged man, Qin Hao asked in surprise.

"Haha, I heard from the villagers that your Qin Clan is teaching you martial arts, so I brought some meat to nourish you. You may not be able to cultivate, but you can still practice martial arts."

The middle-aged man laughed.

It would have been fine if he had not looked, but once he did, he was startled. Why did Li Kang feel that Qin Hao had grown taller again? And damn it, he was broad-shouldered and thick-backed, even taller and more muscular than Li Kang himself.

Then he looked at the shattered stones around them. It was obvious they had just been smashed apart. Could Qin Hao have done this?

"This?" Li Kang pointed at the stones and asked.

"I did it. I've been growing quickly lately, and my strength has gotten stronger, so I tested it on some rocks. Hehe."

Seeing the strange look in Uncle Li's eyes, Qin Hao could only scratch his head and answer honestly.

"You brat, you became this strong without making a sound? Then let this uncle of yours test your strength." After saying that, he set down the food in his hands and vanished from the spot.

Before Qin Hao could react, a fist tearing through the air came hurtling toward him. But Qin Hao did not make a move. He merely stood there without budging.

With a bang, Li Kang's fist struck Qin Hao squarely in the chest. Yet Qin Hao did not react at all, merely grinning foolishly at Li Kang before him.

Seeing that his punch had failed to harm Qin Hao in the slightest, Li Kang stared at him in disbelief.

"Good kid, your body's tough enough. Let's see whether you can take your Uncle Li's full-strength attack."

After saying that, Li Kang assumed an attacking stance. True qi burst from his body and wrapped around him. Once he had gathered enough power, he rushed forward even faster than before and threw a punch at Qin Hao.

"Hey, hey, hey, Uncle Li, are you trying to beat someone to death? I'm still a child!" As he spoke, Qin Hao also struck toward Li Kang with his palm.

Li Kang's full-strength punch landed against Qin Hao's palm, yet it still did not force Qin Hao back even one step. Qin Hao merely smiled at Li Kang before him.

"Hehe, Uncle Li, looks like you haven't been training properly lately." Seeing that even Li Kang's full-strength strike could not hurt him, Qin Hao was overjoyed and smugly teased him.

"You brat, you're terrifying. What kind of physical strength is this? Don't tell me you've been possessed?" Li Kang looked helplessly at Qin Hao. This kid had become far too strong. Relying solely on physical strength, he had effortlessly blocked all of Li Kang's attacks. It was hard to believe. Li Kang himself possessed the strength of Body Tempering and Bone Forging.

Qin Hao said nothing, only grinning foolishly at him.
