Chapter 227 Ferocious.
Hao Ren punched away the rock tiger, and the beast snarled at him in fury. The battle continued, and Yan watched it from the side. She was surprised when she saw how quickly Hao Ren was improving. His movement technique was increasing, and his punches were becoming stable and lethal with every attempt.
It was not like he was overpowering the tiger. He was here to get used to his new enhanced power. The Rock Tiger was moving around very quickly and it was trying to kill Hao Ren with all seriousness. The young man was not careless.
After fifteen minutes of the stalemate. The Rock Tiger roared, and the cracked stone spikes, began to levitate in the void. Hao Ren was surprised, when the shards began to fly towards him at a high speed.
The young man exclaimed, "Shit!"
He was not prepared for this, he dashed around quickly and avoided as many shards as he could. The surrounding trees were riddled with holes from the shard bullets. Hao Ren had cold sweat dripping from his forehead when suddenly a shard that he thought had been dodged changed its trajectory and hit him in the back.
Hao Ren felt as if he had been stabbed, but the pain only lasted a few seconds before it vanished completely. The young man took cover behind a boulder, and sensed his body, it turned out apart from a slight bruise, there was no impact on his body.
Hao Ren understood that not only did his special physique provided him with strong force, but also defence. He hurriedly dashed out from behind the boulder, and found the Rock Tiger to brutalize the boulder with its claws.
Watching its prey getting away, the Rock Tiger roared, and another round of stone bullets was fired at Hao Ren. However, the young man did not stop, he circled the beast, and while doing that he zeroed out the distance. Hao Ren carefully used his arms and sideward movement to protect his head and vital parts.
Even if the stone bullet did not do any serious damage, being hit in any vital location would cause him to suffer more pain and he did not want that.
As soon as he came close to the Rock Tiger, the beast raised its paw and clawed at the young man. However, Hao Ren seemed to have known this, and rolled on the ground, before he regained his footing, jumped off the ground and his kick landed on the Rock Tiger's face. The beast was shaken and the attacks were disrupted.
This time Hao Ren did not give the beast any time to fight back, and used his hard punches to bludgeon the beast to death. His punches were compact and they were very ferocious. Hao Ren did not stop until the a few drops of blood splattered upon his face.
Yan appeared from the side and stood there silently. Hao Ren came back to his senses and said, "Let's head back. This guy is enough for me to train and understand the extent of my strength."
Hao Ren was not lying, was he to fight a human with his full strength they would die in a very gruesome manner. The young man took a deep breath before he stuffed the Rock Tiger body inside his space ring and the duo walked up to a small stream where Hao Ren cleaned himself up the blood on his face and fists.
The two then returned home. Xi and Reni had also came back with the kids and the kids were practicing martial arts in the courtyard.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
When Hao Ren came in they began to discuss the situation around the city and the chances where they could make use of other people to strengthen themselves.
...
Han Lingshi was sitting in the forest with her hair scattered all over her face. She had just finished a battle with a creature that looked like a scorpion but it was as big as a bull. If someone was to ask how she felt. She would reply, 'I have no idea what was that thing.'
Tang Zen did not come over to help her, but she did not make things difficult and let her eat the food and water she had on her person. A sword was standing before Han Lingshi, stained in black blood.
It appeared very menacing in the subtle surroundings of green and brown. The sound of the sea tides colliding with the land made her calm down a little. She finished eating her food and used her Yin and Yang eyes to check the surroundings. Han Lingshi had just finished her first day in the island, and she had no idea how she was going to last nine more.
However, people have to work hard when they wish to achieve more as well. Thinking about how Hao Ren does not even have the protection of the strong people around him made her think that her troubles were nothing compared to that.
She picked up her sword and went to rest on top of a tree crown. She slept very lightly, the spiritual energy relieved her stress and she did not need rem sleep to recover the fatigue, but the psychological impact of this place was going to hit her like a hammer.
Whether she crumbled under the hits or came out as a sharp sword, depended on her own will and desire.
...
Time passed in a blink, in the past ten days, Han Lingshi has killed eight beasts, and stored them in her space ring. She was covered in wounds, big and small. Last night when she was fighting a lion, she was almost ripped to shreds by his claws but she used her spirit flame to freeze the beast and managed to tame it.
She now had a small white cat walking beside her. Although this action of hers made Yang displeased, he did not say anything. Han Lingshi sensed that the little black snake did not like the cat and said, "I have just tamed it. Han Lingxue will bind a contract with it. I will not take another Spirit Beast as my companion."
Her words made the snake raised its head but then it went back to its slacking pose as if saying, 'I don't care.'
Han Lingshi was tired from all the hustle and decided to let things be. When they reached the shore, Tang Zen was sitting on a chair with a coconut in her hand. She looked at her daughter-in-law, and stood up before she said, "Now you look the part of a cultivator."
She did not mind that the girl was injured, but happy that Han Lingshi had steeled her heart to look things through. Then she looked at the cat on the side that was cowering behind the girl, and said, "Come here."
The beast was scared of Tang Zen, ten times more than it was scared of Han Lingshi. The old lady commanded and the beast came forward. Han Lingshi said, "This guy can accompany Xiao Xue. She is now in body refining, this guy can serve as a good training partner."
Tang Zen picked up the cat from its neck, as if a chick. She nodded and said, "This guy will be good. Let's go back."
She opened the tunnel with a wave of her hand and the two of them vanished from the place.
...
The first thing Han Lingshi did after getting back home was to clean up and take a nice hot shower before hitting the bed and talking to Hao Ren, who told her that he has awakened a special physique and it gives him good strength. He also told her that he was now accumulating a lot of things for their future.
...
For Hao Ren, it had been more than four months since he came to the spirit shimmer continent. Out of the twenty two cities, in the Warring Nation, his restaurant was not operating in eighteen cities. They all followed the same model, and they also had a very effective information gathering network. Discover more stories at empire
Today, Hao Ren and his clutter was moving to the capital of the Warring Nation. The Primus City, this place was bustling, even some metropolitans on the blue star might not be put to shame.
The group traveled in three phrases. Hao Ren was the last to come after making sure that the hand over in the Salt Wind City was smooth. The people from the Tower Of Light were very efficient, they found a few talented chefs from various restaurants, they poached them, and Hao Ren trained them with a few soul patches.
They saved children from slavery and gave them a new place. All of them were stunned but Hao Ren and his first batch of rescues worked in and they adapted very quickly. The flow of information in the eighteen cities made things very easy. The only reason Hao Ren did not enter the other four cities was because they were military capitals.
He did not wish to touch those places, and this was an obvious move on his hand, to attract attention of a big player, and acquiring a better chess piece. Hao Ren was a ferocious general, who did not mind using all methods at his disposal to deal with threat.
