The Fierce Little Black Tiger

Archery skill +1

The insights and experiences gained from archery quietly flooded into Chen Changqing's mind.

"Be careful!" Chen Changqing shouted in a low voice, while quickly riding away and nocking an arrow and drawing his bow. His movements were fluid and seamless.

He drew back the Dragon Gold Treasure Bow with lightning speed time and time again, and arrows shot towards the little black tiger like lightning.

Xiao Hei is shaped like a black lightning bolt, moving swiftly and nimbly to dodge attacks.

Both the man and the tiger moved at terrifying speeds, like two afterimages ravaging the wasteland.

Amidst the swirling dust, the figures of the man and the tiger were almost invisible.

Half an hour later.

The man and the tiger took a short rest.

They went to the slaughterhouse and killed five fat pigs and five chickens.

They engaged in battle on the open ground.

"Little Black, be careful!" Chen Changqing's Qi Refining Level 2 spiritual power surged and shot towards the little black tiger at lightning speed.

"Awoo!" The little black tiger roared, and the spiritual power of the third level of the Lesser Demon Realm surged out of its body, accelerating suddenly as it pounced towards Chen Changqing!

Its speed was astonishing, like a black lightning bolt, instantly covering a distance of tens of meters, heading straight for Chen Changqing's face.

A fierce fighting spirit flashed in Chen Changqing's eyes. He dodged the little black tiger's pounce with a swift movement.

His right foot moved with lightning speed, carrying an extremely sharp and terrifying force, and slammed hard into Xiao Hei's buttocks.

Chen Changqing's strength was astonishing. With the support of his fourth-level Body Tempering physical strength and the spiritual power of his second-level Qi Refining, he could easily smash through boulders.

Xiao Hei's burly body was blasted away, flying more than thirty meters.

However, Xiao Hei had thick skin and incredibly strong defense. Chen Changqing's full-force kick only caused him a slight pain in his buttocks.

The little black tiger landed steadily, incredibly lightly.

"Roar..." After landing, Xiao Hei roared and suddenly exerted force with its four hooves, rushing towards Chen Changqing at lightning speed, its figure like a black lightning bolt.

Undeterred, Chen Changqing moved even faster and pounced on the little black tiger.

The little black tiger's claws were as sharp as knives, and it swiftly slashed towards Chen Changqing's face.

Chen Changqing dodged easily with a swift movement.

The little black tiger reacted extremely quickly. After missing its first attack, it immediately adjusted its posture and pounced on Chen Changqing again.

Its sharp claws flashed through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, aiming straight for Chen Changqing's chest.

Chen Changqing moved like a ghost, dodging the attack once again.

His speed, strength, and agility were on full display at this moment, as he engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the little black tiger.

Boom boom boom...

Physical Fitness +1

A moment later, the little black tiger flew away into the distance once again.

Chen Changqing did not give it a chance to catch its breath. With a flash, he approached the little black tiger again.

His movements were incredibly fast, his fists and feet raining down on the little black tiger's body.

Every punch and kick carried immense penetrating power, making the little black tiger's whole body go numb.

"Awoo..." the little black tiger roared, meaning it wanted to test its strength against Chen Changqing.

"Come on." Chen Changqing was not afraid at all. During this period, Xiao Hei's progress was extremely terrifying, but his progress was not much less.

The little black tiger pounced at lightning speed, raised its paw, and slammed it down on Chen Changqing's face.

Chen Changqing also threw a punch.

"Bang!"

Chen Changqing's fist collided with the little black tiger's claw, producing a dull thud.

Both were incredibly powerful, creating a visible shockwave in the air.

Although the little black tiger was powerful, Chen Changqing's strength was in no way inferior.

Boom boom boom...

The man and the tiger clashed repeatedly.

Chen Changqing's fist was as hard as an iron hammer, and each swing carried an extremely strong impact.

Little Black Tiger's strength was in no way inferior to Chen Changqing's.

A terrifying aura spread out, stirring up the dust on the ground.

Dust filled the air, obscuring Chen Changqing and Xiao Hei's figures.

Ten minutes later, Chen Changqing's remaining spiritual energy was exhausted, and Xiao Hei gained the upper hand.

With a single claw strike, Xiao Hei sent Chen Changqing flying more than fifty meters away.

Chen Changqing's defense, tempered by the gentle energy of the Soul-Devouring Creation Black Lotus, was also exceptionally formidable.

Xiao Hei's terrifying strength, capable of shattering steel bricks, only caused Chen Changqing's arms to ache slightly.

Chen Changqing bent his knees slightly, landed steadily, and pounced on the little black tiger again.

Boom boom boom...

After that, Little Black Tiger knocked Chen Changqing away time and time again.

This fierce battle lasted for a full hour before it ended.

Chen Changqing rubbed his numb arms and chuckled as he gently rubbed Xiao Hei's head.

Divine perception.

"Soul-Devouring Black Lotus"

"Owner: Chen Changqing"

"Cultivation level of magic power: Qi Refining Level 2".

Physical Cultivation Level: Body Refinement Level 4 (26/1600)

"Spell: None"

「技能：箭术4级（4/1600），爬树1级（83/200），书法1级（28/200）」

"Talisman: Fireball Talisman Level 1 (135/200)"

In two months, his physical cultivation and archery skills broke through from level two to level four.

His spiritual power cultivation also broke through from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level of Qi Refining.

This made his combat power far exceed that of before.

Most importantly, the spiritual energy in his body is more than twice as much as before.

I can now draw fireball talismans fifteen times a day.

Moreover, the success rate is extremely high.

It reached over 90%.

It might fail once in a while.

The reason for the failure was the same as before: the talisman was completed, but then it caught fire again.

Now, he can draw fourteen fireball talismans in a day.

Based on the price of 120 copper coins, that's 1,680 copper coins.

The speed at which they make money is absolutely terrifying.

You should know that being a patrolman in Qing Shi Town is a job that many people envy, because it guarantees a minimum income of one thousand copper coins per month.

There are subsidies for duty and such.

After a month, I earned about 1,500 yuan.

He can now earn in a day what a patrol guard earns in a month.

However, despite the soaring income, he still didn't have much money.

These past two months.

He first returned 10,300 coins to Zhao Yanchang.

Afterwards, they went to Qingshi Town to return the money owed to the farmers for their pigs.

Afterwards, all the debts owed to the Wang family's shop in Qingshi Town were also settled.

Moreover, ever since he successfully drew the talisman, he has been buying Qi and Blood Pills for Xiao Hei.

At first, Xiao Hei refined one every two days.

Now, I can refine two a day.

One Blood Qi Pill costs four hundred copper coins.

Two copper coins, each worth a full eight hundred.

Xiao Hei's progress is so terrifying, not only because of the blessing of the Black Lotus of Creation, but also because he spent money to achieve it.

Chen Changqing's eyes flickered: "I wonder how much of a chance we have against Zhao Erhu."

"Awoo." The little black tiger came forward and rubbed its big head against Chen Changqing's leg.

It means he's very hungry.

"Let's go to the slaughterhouse."

Upon arriving at the slaughterhouse, Chen Changqing instructed the workers to bring two large basins of chopped wild boar meat to Xiao Hei.

The little black tiger devoured everything in a flash, like a whirlwind.

Xiao Hei has grown much taller and stronger, and its appetite has also increased dramatically.

They eat more than 20 kilograms of meat in one meal.

Three meals a day, weighing over 60 jin (30 kg) and costing over 200 copper coins.
