Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 8 - Kill Two More
A year passed in an instant. When Lin Le came to his senses, he glanced at his fist and then threw a punch.

Three snaps.

He swung his fist again, four times.

He swung his fist again, five times.

Lin Le kept throwing punches, and the number of punches kept increasing until the eighth cracking sound rang out, at which point Lin Le stopped.

The White Ape Tongbei Fist has reached its peak, just one strike away from perfection.

'Indeed, physical constitution greatly accelerates the practice of boxing,' Lin Le thought to himself.

Both are considered to have reached the pinnacle, but Tongbei Quan is only one step away from perfection, while Baiyuan Qiang is only just crossing the threshold.

The gap may seem small, but it takes an average person several years or even more than a decade to make up for it.

Next comes one's own strength.

The lotus leaf swayed gently, and a drop of blood-red dew fell.

A deep warmth emanated from his heart. Lin Le began practicing Tongbei Fist. The difference between beginner and advanced levels of the fist technique was quite significant. After only two practice sessions, Lin Le had completely digested the elixir refined from the White Ape Pill.

He practiced the strengthening elixir four or five times before he could fully digest it.

'He gained about ten pounds.'

Lin Le's mastery of boxing techniques made him more sensitive to his own physical condition.

Go ahead.

Lin Le continued practicing his fist techniques until he had completely refined the elixir formed from the five White Ape Pills.

"My current strength," Lin Le said, placing a heavy object on his hand to better sense his strength, "should be around 360 jin."

His original strength was a little over 310 jin, so the five White Ape Pills increased his strength by nearly 50 jin.

The final estimate was that I had gained about eight pounds of strength, which was two pounds less than the first time.

"Therefore, I can take about fifteen more White Ape Pills and gain another fifty catties of strength," Lin Le judged.

However, the Strengthening Powder became ineffective against him after 300 jin, and 400 jin should be the limit for White Ape Pill.

In other words, he still needs to find a better elixir.

'What a natural talent!' Lin Le couldn't help but exclaim.

The advantage of having good physique lies in this: the reason why it's harder to break through the limits for those with poor physique is because their potential is lower, forcing them to spend more resources to forcibly break through that limit.

If he had superior physical constitution and the same resources, he would probably already have a strength of over 400 jin, approaching the peak of ordinary people.

Fortunately, one's innate constitution can be changed. Although it is not an easy task, it is much easier than the heaven-defying feat of growing spiritual roots.

Lin Le gripped the dagger; it was time for him to settle scores with someone.

In a corner, two thugs were whispering amongst themselves.

"Xiao Hua, why do you think Brother Wang told us to keep an eye on that kid?" one of the thugs asked his companion. "Everyone knows he practices martial arts at the White Ape Martial Arts School, why bother him?"

The White Ape Martial Arts School is one of the largest martial arts schools in Baishan County. Its students are all from families with some wealth, and the network of relationships they form behind them is something to be wary of.

Therefore, Lin Le was not a good target in his eyes.

"You know Old Ox and Rat, right?" Xiao Hua rolled his eyes. "They're dead, most likely from that kid's hands. Those two were Brother Wang's right-hand men. If he doesn't avenge them, do you think he can still stay in the gang?"

Those who are involved in gangs are all concerned about their image.

They care about saving face because they need to maintain it to benefit themselves.

Lin Le killed Wang Ge's men, which offended Wang Ge. If this offender doesn't get his revenge, others will rebel, which will greatly damage Wang Ge's interests.

Therefore, revenge is imperative.

"Oh." His companion nodded, then suddenly realized, "Then we're in big danger! That kid dared to kill Old Ox and Rat, he'll definitely dare to kill the two of us!"

“We’re just lookouts, not surveillance officers. What danger could we possibly be in?” Xiao Hua shrugged, about to say something more, when he saw the target’s door open and Lin Le come out.

"The target has been spotted, keep up!" Xiao Hua patted his companion and followed Lin Le.

Lin Le had a clear goal and quickly arrived at a mansion. He then climbed over the wall and went inside.

Xiao Hua and his companion watched from outside.

Soon after, Lin Le climbed over the wall again.

Xiao Hua, with her sharp eyes, seemed to see something white fall out of Lin Le's sleeve.

Once Lin Le had walked a little further away, he and his companions immediately went forward and, without much looking, they immediately spotted the little silver treasure that had fallen to the ground.

silver!

The two looked at each other and both saw the greed in each other's eyes.

"Should we go in or not?" his companion whispered to Xiaohua, glancing at the wall beside them.

Lin Le didn't look much different. It seemed he had hidden a large sum of money here and would come to collect it periodically, so there must still be a lot of silver inside.

"Go!" Xiao Hua nodded vigorously.

As for surveillance, we can just find an excuse to get by. They're all just ordinary people who can be killed with a single stab. Why would he be afraid of Brother Wang?
The two climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.

They looked around; it was very quiet, and judging from the dust, no one had lived there for a long time.

"You go left, I'll go right," Xiaohua said to her companion.

"Okay." His companion nodded and immediately began rummaging through drawers and cabinets to find Lin Le's secret stash of money.

Just as they were searching with great enthusiasm, a figure climbed over the wall and came in. The movement was so subtle that neither of the two thugs noticed.

With a leap, the man chopped down with a single chop.

boom!
Xiao Hua collapsed limply.

The sound of Xiao Hua falling immediately alerted his companions, who turned around to see a teenager rushing towards him.

Before he could even speak, the man unleashed a White Ape Offering Fruit, slapping the thug's chin with his palm.

Snapped!
The thug looked up, his vision blurred from the shock, and then a sharp pain shot through his neck, causing him to faint completely.

Wow!

A bucket of cold water was poured over him, and Xiao Hua suddenly woke up, only to see his target sitting opposite him, looking at him indifferently, as if he were looking at a pig rather than a person.

"Who sent you?" Lin Le asked, tossing the dagger at Xiao Hua, who was now fully conscious.

"Brother Wang." Xiao Hua didn't resist and told him everything she knew.

After listening, Lin Le nodded slightly: "You're more clever than the last one."

"Then, sir, could you just ignore me?" Xiao Hua said with a fawning smile. "I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a three-year-old child to raise. I really can't die!"

"You must have had a very hard time, right?" Lin Le nodded slightly, got up and walked over.

"It's been tough! But for..." Before Xiao Hua could finish speaking, a toe rapidly grew larger in her field of vision.

*Crack!* Lin Le put his leg down, looked at Xiao Hua lying on the ground, staring at him in disbelief, and said, "Since you've worked so hard, I'll help you this once so you won't have to work so hard anymore."

"Cough cough!" Xiao Hua looked at Lin Le, his mouth wide open, wanting to say something, but his Adam's apple had been crushed by Lin Le, and his throat was already blocked by blood and flesh, so he couldn't make a sound at all.

In the end, he had no choice but to lower his head.

A little merit and a little killing karma entered Lin Le's inner vision of supernatural powers.

The reason I say "again" is that Xiao Hua's companion had already gone before him.

"The Wolf Gang, what a name for trashy bastards." Lin Le chewed on the information and sneered.

However, miscellaneous fish are just right for miscellaneous fish.

Lin Le turned and left. As for the corpses, he didn't care. They were just two thugs; the constables wouldn't bother to investigate them.

Lin Le had connections with the government in this life, so he knew all too well what kind of constables they were.
