Fierce Tiger Fist Simplified to Touching Tiger Skin [Seeking Support]

"Fierce Tiger Fist is created by imitating the ferocity of a fierce tiger hunting, pouncing, and tearing. Its moves are powerful and domineering, its aura sharp, and it is divided into five forms..."

"While practicing Fierce Tiger Fist, you can also temper your body and blood..."

Liu Hao explained the names of the Fierce Tiger Fist moves as Qin Shuang practiced, and corrected Qin Shuang's posture.

Fierce Tiger Fist has five forms: Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain, Fierce Tiger Pounces, Tiger Tail Sweep, Fierce Tiger Tear, and Fierce Tiger Returns to the Mountain. It also trains the body's muscles and bones to temper blood and qi.

The stronger the blood and qi, the greater the power of Fierce Tiger Fist.

"Huh? The system panel is up?"

Under Liu Hao's corrections, Qin Shuang practiced Fierce Tiger Fist twice. He heard a prompt sound in his mind. He immediately stopped Fierce Tiger Fist, looked at Liu Hao, and said, "Senior Brother, I need to go to the latrine."

There were too many people here, so it wasn't convenient to view the system panel. He had to do it somewhere private.

"It's over there, go ahead."

Liu Hao pointed to a corner of the wall in the distance. Qin Shuang quickly headed towards the latrine.

[Great Dao Simplification System]

[Host: Qin Shuang]

[Function: The Great Dao is simple. Any martial art or cultivation technique can be simplified for rapid mastery!]

[Martial Art: Fierce Tiger Fist]

[Fierce Tiger Fist: (Beginner, 20 practices daily, mastery in one month)]

[Simplified Advancement Condition: Pet a tiger skin ten times]

In a corner of the latrine, Qin Shuang looked at the panel with a thoughtful expression. He secretly thought, "I can master it by petting a tiger skin ten times?"

He remembered there was a market on East Gate Street. Hunters from the mountains would bring their prey there every few days. He wondered if they sold tiger skins.

"Senior Brother, my stomach is upset. Can I come back tomorrow?"

Since he needed to get a tiger skin to simplify Fierce Tiger Fist, Qin Shuang didn't delay. He came before Liu Hao and said.

"Alright."

Liu Hao looked at Qin Shuang helplessly and reminded him, "If you haven't mastered Fierce Tiger Fist in three months, you'll have to pay another ten taels of silver to learn it. Get better soon and come to the martial arts school to practice."

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Qin Shuang cupped his fists at Liu Hao and turned to leave.

"Senior Brother, why did that junior brother leave?"

Just then, a vibrant young girl in a red outfit walked over and asked curiously.

"The new junior brother Qin just practiced twice, and now he's either going to the latrine or saying he's unwell and wants to go back. He has no perseverance at all!"

Liu Hao looked at Qin Shuang's retreating back and sighed. To succeed in martial arts, one must persevere. He couldn't even endure two practices and already wanted to give up. Wasn't this a waste of ten taels of silver?

Jin Qiao'er looked in the direction Qin Shuang had left and sighed, "He's probably from a wealthy family and hasn't suffered much! Someone like that won't be able to learn. It's a waste of money; it's better if he didn't come!"

"Indeed!"

Liu Hao nodded.

Baishi City, East Gate Long Street.

"Candied hawthorn! Delicious candied hawthorn!"

"Roe deer, freshly hunted roe deer!"

"Steamed buns, freshly made steamed buns!"

"..."

Three miles from the Golden Tiger Martial Arts School, at the East Gate market, pedestrians and vendors came and went, their calls rising and falling.

Qin Shuang arrived at the market and saw a hunter selling roe deer by the roadside. His heart stirred, and he walked up and asked, "Brother, do you know where I can buy tiger skins?"

"Tiger skins?"

The hunter, about forty years old, dressed in coarse linen and with a sturdy build, heard Qin Shuang's question and said with some regret, "A month ago, our hunting team did take down a White-Browed Tiger with Fiery Eyes, but the skin wasn't complete. I got a piece, and my son used it to make a vest... If you really want one, I can ask around tomorrow? See if anyone else has used theirs?"

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Qin Shuang's gaze fell on the package next to the hunter. He noticed that the handle of the package was sewn with a palm-sized piece of black and yellow tiger skin. He immediately asked, "Brother, is this sewn with tiger skin?"

"These are scraps of tiger skin. My wife sewed them on here."

The hunter nodded.

"Can I take a look?"

Qin Shuang's heart stirred, and he asked.

The system only said to pet tiger skin, not how large the tiger skin had to be. It wouldn't hurt to try.

"Sure."

The hunter was surprised and handed the package to Qin Shuang.

In his package, there wasn't anything valuable, just a few baked flatbreads made by his wife.

[Touched tiger hide +1!]

[Touched tiger hide +1!]

[Touched tiger hide +1!]

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

Qin Shuang took the package, holding the strap made of tiger hide, and examined it. Suddenly, a system notification chimed in his mind.

"It really works?"

Qin Shuang was overjoyed. Such a small piece of tiger hide, and the system indicated he successfully touched it. This was great!

"Brother, can you sell me this piece of tiger hide?"

Qin Shuang held the package and asked the hunter, looking at him.

"This..."

The hunter scratched his head. He hadn't expected the young man in front of him to want to buy such a small piece of tiger hide. It was already sewn onto the package, not even enough to make gloves if he took it off!

[Condition to touch tiger bone ten times met!]

[Fierce Tiger Fist: (Beginner, fifty practices daily, proficient in one year)]

[Simplified Advancement Condition: Touch tiger hide one hundred times]

Seeing the hunter hesitate, Qin Shuang suddenly heard a system notification in his mind and immediately said, "Brother, how about this, two hundred copper coins, and you tear off this piece of tiger hide and sell it to me?"

"Deal!"

Hearing Qin Shuang's words, the hunter nodded and immediately tore off the tiger hide from the strap, handing it to Qin Shuang. This piece of tiger hide was just an embellishment; its absence wouldn't affect the package's use. Getting 200 copper coins for it was a no-brainer!

"Deal!"

Qin Shuang took out two hundred copper coins from his embrace and counted them to the hunter. He took the palm-sized piece of tiger hide, feeling very satisfied.

"Brother, I set up my stall here every few days. Come find me if you need anything!"

The hunter stuffed the copper coins into his pocket, looking very pleased.

200 copper coins could buy his two children some rattles and candied hawthorns.

"Okay!"

Qin Shuang nodded and turned to leave.

Fusheng Restaurant, back courtyard.

Qin Shuang sat in the empty private room, looking at the panel in his mind, constantly stroking the palm-sized piece of tiger hide in his hand.

[Ding! You have met the condition of touching tiger hide one hundred times! Fierce Tiger Fist has advanced to the Proficient realm!]

Suddenly, a system notification chimed in his mind.

A stream of information surged into Qin Shuang's mind, which was the technique for executing the Proficient realm moves of Fierce Tiger Fist!

At this moment.

He felt as if he had practiced Fierce Tiger Fist diligently for a year!

Simultaneously.

Qin Shuang felt his blood surge, a powerful warm current sweeping through his limbs and bones. His entire skeleton was nourished by the warm current, crackling and popping, and his bones gradually became stronger. A sense of immense power filled his body!

"My strength has more than doubled!"

"I'm no longer a frail scholar!"

Qin Shuang extended his hands, excitement gleaming in his eyes.

He felt full of strength, as if he could punch through a wall!

Qin Shuang's gaze swept around, landing on a wooden door in the back courtyard. He walked up to it and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the one-inch-thick wooden door was smashed to pieces by his punch!

"Not bad!"

Qin Shuang rolled up his sleeves and saw the bulging biceps on his arms. He was very satisfied. Before, his arms were flat; now, with bulging muscles, he looked forward to the perfected Fierce Tiger Fist even more.

Qin Shuang opened his system panel.

[Great Dao Simplification System]

[Host: Qin Shuang]

[Realm: Blood Condensation 6%]

[Function: The Great Dao is simple. Any martial arts or cultivation technique can be simplified for rapid mastery!]

[Martial Art: Fierce Tiger Fist]

[Fierce Tiger Fist: (Proficient, Practice 100 times daily, 5 years to master)]

[Simplified Promotion Conditions: 1. Pet tiger hide 1000 times, 2. Five bowls of Qi and Blood Soup]

"Five bowls of Qi and Blood Soup?"

"Looks like I'll have to head to the martial arts school."

Qin Shuang looked at the panel, his eyes thoughtful.

As far as he knew.

Both the pharmacy and the martial arts school sold Qi and Blood Soup. Because the martial arts school specially supplied it to their disciples for cultivation, the price of Qi and Blood Soup was a bit cheaper than at the pharmacy.

Although he still had over six hundred taels of silver and some gold leaves, he'd save wherever he could.
