By then, with two martial arts techniques—one for fists and one for legs—and the enhancement effect of the mountain and sea scroll entering his body, he would definitely be considered a master in the Body Tempering Realm.
The reason he was so eager to improve his martial arts cultivation was naturally to ensure his own safety when undertaking missions in Yangping Mountain.
After all, he hadn't forgotten why the Hunting Beast Hall recruited hunters in advance.
The Yangping Mountain Beast Tide.
Since entering the Hunting Beast Hall, he had gained some understanding of Yangping Mountain.
There is a beast tide outbreak in Yangping Mountain roughly every four years. At that time, the number of mutated beasts in Yangping Mountain will increase significantly, and even some rare Spirit Beasts will appear, such as the Crimson Belly Spirit Snake. Spirit Beasts like that will definitely appear, and there won't be just one.
In fact, most of the Spirit Beasts listed among the top ranks in the hundred beast compendium appeared during beast tides.
Although the range of the Yangping Mountain Beast Tide is basically within Yangping Mountain and doesn't affect the foot of the mountain much, even if some mutated beasts descend the mountain, they are mostly just ordinary wild beasts.
However, Zhenshan Tower naturally won't miss this opportunity. Every time a beast tide occurs, it is the busiest time for the Hunting Beast Hall, which will organize large numbers of hunters to enter Yangping Mountain to hunt rare mutated beasts that are seldom seen on normal days.
But that time is also the most dangerous in Yangping Mountain. Although there will be masters from Zhenshan Tower leading the teams, they naturally cannot look after ordinary hunters like them.
Therefore, before every Yangping Mountain Beast Tide, the Hunting Beast Hall will recruit hunters on a large scale. However, after the beast tide ends, how many of these hunters remain is entirely up to fate.
He had also asked Zhang Ding indirectly, and being able to have half the people survive was considered good.
This was why Lin Sheng was eager to improve his strength, and there was also the threat from the Ya Gang.
Although he felt that he had handled the matter of dealing with Liu Ergou and the others quite secretly, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be any slip-ups. Therefore, improving his strength as much as possible was always the right thing to do.
For two days, Lin Sheng basically stayed in the courtyard, diligently practicing the White Ape Leg Technique.
After that, another mission came. Perhaps he was truly lucky, as this mission was also like the previous Yangjiao Huan (ram-horned badger) one, not a very difficult task.
It took two days to successfully complete the mission, and among the group, only two people suffered minor injuries.
As for Ma Qiang, since that day, he had never proactively provoked him again, as if he had forgotten about it. When he saw Lin Sheng on normal days, he would also actively avoid him.
This surprised Lin Sheng a little, but he was happy with it. After all, it was better to have one less problem than one more. It was best if the other party didn't actively cause trouble for him.
Yangping Town.
On this day, in the courtyard, Lin Sheng's figure moved like an ape, constantly maneuvering and shifting in the courtyard.
The courtyard was now significantly different from before, with over twenty wooden stakes, each about the thickness of a bowl, planted in the ground.
And Lin Sheng was currently standing on the wooden stakes, his figure constantly changing. Suddenly, his legs swelled up significantly, and then he stomped heavily on a wooden stake.
With a muffled bang, the wooden stake immediately split into four pieces, and Lin Sheng leaped off the stake.
"Finally, in three days, I have cultivated the White Ape Leg Technique to Minor Accomplishment."
A look of joy appeared on his face. At this moment, he clearly felt that his strength had improved significantly compared to before.
Especially in terms of speed and reaction, it was roughly equivalent to the 1-point agility increase he got when the Yangjiao Huan (ram-horned badger) entered his body.
Of course, besides that, the White Ape Leg Technique seemed to be a bit stronger than he had imagined.
In addition to the speed enhancement, this leg technique also possessed considerable killing power.
The leg strike with which he just shattered the wooden stake was a killing move from the Minor Accomplishment of the White Ape Leg Technique, called White Ape Hook Moon.
This was something the Raging Bull Fist didn't have at Minor Accomplishment. From this point, it could be seen that the White Ape Leg Technique should be considered quite good among third-rate martial arts. This complete third-rate martial art was enough for him to Cultivate to the Early Stage of Forging Tendons.
Just as Lin Sheng was in a good mood due to his cultivation Breakthrough, someone else was also in a good mood.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Ma Qiang slammed his palm heavily onto a bluestone slab in front of him. Instantly, the bluestone slab, which was two inches thick, shattered.
"Hahaha... I've finally successfully broken through."
Ma Qiang laughed up to the sky, his face filled with indescribable joy.
His talent was not as outstanding as his Brother's, and he started practicing martial arts a bit late, which is why he hadn't been able to enter the Body Tempering Realm until now.
Therefore, he always disliked those so-called geniuses, and so whenever new recruits with good talent joined the squad, he would proactively spar with them and make them suffer a bit to satisfy his vanity.
And today, with the help of a blood enhancement pill, he finally successfully took this step and entered the Body Tempering Realm, which also dispersed much of the frustration he had felt for many days.
"From now on, I, Ma Qiang, am also a true Body Tempering Martial Artist."
He exhaled heavily, his expression suddenly contorting.
"You little brat, just wait. I will definitely return the humiliation of that day with double the interest."
"Xiao Qiang, have you broken through?"
At this moment, a deep voice sounded from outside the room, and then the door was pushed open. A tall, burly man who bore some resemblance to Ma Qiang strode in.
The man saw Ma Qiang's change at a glance and a smile appeared on his face.
"Not bad, you didn't waste this blood enhancement pill. The medicinal effect should not have been completely digested yet. While the medicinal effect is still there, continue cultivating and don't waste it."
The person who came was Ma Qiang's Brother, Ma Long, the captain of the Hunting Beast Hall's Third Squad and a master of the Forging Tendons Realm.
As Ma Long spoke, he took out a small brocade box from his Pregnant and placed it on the table.
"This contains the second blood enhancement pill. Use it only after you have stabilized your blood and qi in the Body Tempering Realm. By then, it should be able to compensate to some extent for the blood and qi obstacles caused by your late start in cultivation."
"Thank you, Brother."
Ma Qiang immediately nodded, a hint of excitement on his face. He knew very well the value of the blood enhancement pill.
Although he seemed quite overbearing on normal days, he was both respectful and afraid of his Brother. He knew that he owed his current achievements to him, otherwise, given his circumstances, let alone entering the Body Tempering Realm, whether he could even Cultivate martial arts would be another matter.
"Xiao Qiang, since you have successfully entered Body Tempering, there is no need for you to stay with Wang Sanyang anymore. I will speak to him in a few days, and you can follow me. I will give you a few people to manage, which will also ensure your safety. The Body Tempering Realm is also enough to silence gossip."
Ma Long spoke indifferently. He was quite concerned about his younger brother, as his achievements in cultivation would also be beneficial to their Ma family in the future.
Hearing this, Ma Qiang was startled. He quickly spoke.
"Next month, Brother. I'll go over next month. I still have some things to deal with here with Team Leader Wang."
"Oh!?"
Ma Long raised his eyes and scanned him. Ma Qiang felt as if he had been completely seen through.
"What, is it about that kid who just joined your Ninth Squad? If I remember correctly, his name should be Lin Sheng."
