Tiger Roar Fist, Entry Level

Li Qiming looked at the entry options:

[1, Tiger Roar Fist Entry Level: Martial Arts Experience/Common.]

[Tiger Roar Fist: One of the foundational fist techniques of the Dragon Roar Martial Hall. Reaching Minor Accomplishment allows one to open the Ren and Du Meridians and become a person above others!]

"This one is actually quite good. My Tiger Roar Fist has been stuck, unable to reach entry level... this would save me years of bitter training..."

Li Qiming felt tempted and excited, but he did not act yet. He looked further down.

[2, Ten taels of broken silver: Wealth/Common]

[Ten taels of broken silver: Protection money collected by Wang Ba, never spent.]

Li Qiming had just secretly searched Wang Ba's body and found neither a Qi Nourishing Pill nor a single copper coin. However, he had an intuition that Wang Ba must have hidden his private money somewhere. After all, he was fond of snatching the wages of other laborers, calling it "protection money."

"Ten taels of silver... Wang Ba, you really are a dark-hearted one to have snatched so much..."

To be honest, Li Qiming was somewhat tempted, but it still didn't hold the same appeal as the Tiger Roar Fist entry level.

After all, as long as he became strong, money wouldn't be much of a problem.

He looked at 3.

[3, Laifu Tavern laborer: Identity/Valuable]

[Laifu Tavern laborer: Possessing this identity allows you to learn Tiger Roar Fist and potentially turn your life around.]

"What does this mean? If I choose this entry, do I directly obtain the identity of a tavern laborer?"

Li Qiming was a bit puzzled.

What if the person who died was an emperor? Would I become an emperor directly?

He shook his head slowly. If he couldn't understand it, he wouldn't choose it for now. Besides, he was already a laborer at Laifu Tavern; choosing this would be redundant.

He looked at the last entry.

[4. Fine "Qi Nourishing Pill": Pill/Rare]

[Fine Qi Nourishing Pill: Even a master alchemist only has a one-in-ten success rate. Consuming it increases Blood Qi to a certain extent. Recommended for use during breakthroughs.]

"I know what a 'Qi Nourishing Pill' is, but what is a fine 'Qi Nourishing Pill'?"

Li Qiming murmured slowly. He didn't understand, but even from the literal meaning, it was clearly superior to the inferior "Qi Nourishing Pills" that Laifu Tavern distributed to the laborers just now!

However, the reason I want a Qi Nourishing Pill is to break through in my martial arts, so why wouldn't I just choose the Tiger Roar Fist entry level?

Thinking of this, Li Qiming made his decision immediately. He chose entry 1, Tiger Roar Fist entry level.

The next second.

A memory of diligently practicing the Tiger Roar Fist surfaced in his mind.

It was as if he had truly practiced the fist technique arduously for many years.

The Tiger Roar Fist that he had practiced bitterly for three months without any progress reached the entry level in an instant.

Li Qiming felt some obvious changes in his body.

For instance, his muscles bulged slightly, his height increased by two centimeters, and his arms grew two sizes thicker.

His whole body felt like it possessed an inexhaustible amount of strength!

"I could take on ten of my former self right now!"

Li Qiming punched at the air. The feeling of martial arts improvement was truly wonderful!

No wonder Wang Ba was so arrogant on a daily basis. With this entry-level skill, he could take down ordinary laborers with a single punch; he certainly had the capital to be arrogant.

"It's a pity I still can't call myself a martial artist. A true martial artist must circulate Blood Qi through their arms, open the Ren and Du Meridians, and generate Dark Force!"

"It is said that one must practice the Tiger Roar Fist to Minor Accomplishment to open the Ren and Du Meridians!"

Li Qiming glanced at Wang Ba's mangled corpse and shook his head. Be a better person in your next life.

He secretly warned himself that this world was too dangerous and he must keep a low profile.

Suddenly, Li Qiming froze.

He discovered that the entries were still there.

They hadn't disappeared because of his choice.

[First time looting a corpse, one free entry selection granted.]

Looking at the text prompt before him, Li Qiming was overjoyed. He hadn't expected his Golden Finger to be so humane!

He didn't hesitate and chose the most valuable item: the "Fine Qi Nourishing Pill."

The next moment, a pill appeared in his pocket. He reached in and pulled it out to look. The fingernail-sized "Fine Qi Nourishing Pill" emitted waves of medicinal fragrance. Its entire body was like amber, looking quite beautiful.

"Wang Ba, you died for a good cause!"

The next day.

Li Qiming was chopping wood in the backyard when Shopkeeper Wang passed by. He suddenly narrowed his eyes and stopped to size him up.

That gaze seemed very surprised, making Li Qiming's skin crawl.

After a long while, Shopkeeper Wang nodded. "Kid, what's your name?"

"Li Qiming."

"You're not bad. From now on, you are the head laborer. Manage this group of laborers for me. Be smarter in your work; don't be like Wang Ba, who was annoying and brought death upon himself."

Shopkeeper Wang instructed.

"Thank you for your cultivation, Shopkeeper."

Li Qiming was surprised. He hadn't expected Shopkeeper Wang to have such sharp eyes, seeing at a glance that he had reached the entry level of Tiger Roar Fist.

Moreover, after reaching the entry level of Tiger Roar Fist, he could see that Shopkeeper Wang's entire body was filled with Blood Qi like a burning furnace!

Standing before him, the man exerted endless pressure.

He estimated that Shopkeeper Wang could probably crush him like a fly with just his little finger.

This was a true martial artist!

It was said that martial artists had three major realms: Blood Refining, Bone Refining, and Organ Refining.

Shopkeeper Wang was a Blood Refining realm martial artist.

Li Qiming felt envious in his heart.

He wondered when he would be able to reach Shopkeeper Wang's level?

Only by reaching that level could he truly have some self-preservation power in this world.

After Shopkeeper Wang left.

The seven or eight laborers in the courtyard immediately threw down their work and walked toward Li Qiming with ill intent, surrounding him completely.

The two leaders were Wang Ba's subordinates, the same two laborers who had intercepted him yesterday and prevented Li Qiming from receiving his pill.

The square-faced laborer and the long-faced laborer.

"Kid, you really got lucky!"

"Yeah, why should it be your turn to be the head?"

"This position of Brother Wang Ba isn't something just anyone can hold!"

Facing everyone's questioning, Li Qiming frowned slightly. He said mockingly:

"Oh? And what do you want to do about it?"

The long-faced laborer and the square-faced laborer looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

"Heh, such a sharp tongue? Looks like we have to teach you a lesson!"

"Get him!"

"Right, let him understand who the real boss is!"

Their faces darkened with viciousness.

Simultaneously, they threw punches and kicks, attacking Li Qiming at the same time.

The next second.

Thud, thud.

The long-faced laborer and the square-faced laborer flew backward, their faces deathly pale, blood spilling from their mouths.

Li Qiming calmly retracted his fists.

The surrounding laborers watching the show were stunned and bewildered. What was going on?

The square-faced laborer stared at Li Qiming in horror, his voice trembling:

"You... you reached the entry level of Tiger Roar Fist?!"

As soon as these words fell, the surrounding laborers widened their eyes, looking at Li Qiming in disbelief.

Li Qiming did not answer, only smiling slightly:

"Now, tell me, who is the boss?"

"You! Brother Li, of course you are the boss. We were just joking with you earlier!"

The square-faced laborer said hurriedly.

The long-faced laborer stood up, picked up the broken axe next to Li Qiming, and said with a serious expression:

"Boss, from now on, leave dirty and tiring work like chopping wood to me. You must never touch it again! Otherwise, I won't have the face to be your underling!"

The two men's attitudes had done a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn. Li Qiming was stunned, secretly thinking it was spectacular.

However, this was the way of survival for these bottom-tier laborers.

Whoever had the bigger fist was the boss.

Li Qiming nodded slightly.

Not having to do dirty and tiring work anymore was quite comfortable.

This way, he could free up plenty of time to figure out how to improve his martial arts.

Opening the Ren and Du Meridians early and becoming a Blood Refining realm martial artist was the real priority.
