Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

It hasn't snowed much these past few days, although the temperature is still cold.

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this harsh winter is almost over.

Sweep the snow off the ground in the courtyard clean so that you won't get covered in mud when you practice your boxing later.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Yu checked the cloudy liquor that was being distilled next to him. Seeing that there were no problems, he began to practice his boxing seriously.

Speaking of the Crimson Fiend Fist, over the course of several days, Lin Yu's tireless efforts rapidly improved the level of this fist technique.

Now he has successfully advanced to LV.3, not only mastering all the moves and footwork in the manual, but also extending his skills to include several other punching techniques.

In terms of combat experience and mastery of boxing techniques alone, he is more than capable of overwhelming ordinary people who have been immersed in this art for decades.

However, compared to the Mighty Bull Technique, the improvement of the Crimson Fiend Fist is really not that impressive.

It is important to know that each upgrade of the Mighty Bull Technique will greatly enhance Lin Yu's physique.

Whether it's the skin before or the muscles after.

It can almost be said that it brought about a qualitative change in the person.

It is said that one force can overcome ten skills, and now Lin Yu has a deeper understanding of the reliability of this person's words.

Take him for example. If he were an ordinary person who had mastered the LV.3 Crimson Fiend Fist, it would be virtually impossible for him to defeat an opponent with the LV.3 Mighty Bull Technique.

Even with the Crimson Fiend Fist and extensive combat experience.

Being able to spot the opponent's weaknesses at a glance and predict their attacks.

But the fundamental differences remain unchanged.

Greater strength, faster speed, more agile reaction, and greater resilience.

These are things that an ordinary person cannot possess.

'I can make a hundred mistakes, but you can only make one.'

While practicing his boxing, Lin Yu fell into deep thought.

The distillation process went smoothly, and there was nothing to expend energy on.

Improving his strength has now become Lin Yu's top priority.

Towns are only relatively safer than villages, not absolutely safe; one's own strength is the most important factor.

Physical strength is more important than skill.

[You have diligently practiced the Crimson Fiend Fist and gained some insight; proficiency +3!]

As he practiced his punches, Lin Yu gradually slowed down, his brows furrowed as he pondered something.

Demons excel in strength, humans excel in wisdom.

Now, it seems he's about to follow the path of the demon race.

It wasn't that he looked down on martial arts, but rather that martial arts were really just too rubbish.

Skills like the Mighty Bull Technique are alright; at least they can enhance physical strength, making the improvement visible to others.

However, apart from having more combat experience and a deeper understanding of fist techniques, this Crimson Fiend Fist has no additional effects or value whatsoever.

In comparison, the difference in quality is immediately apparent.

However, giving up so easily is somewhat hard to accept.

After all, it's understandable that we can't see any obvious effects at this level, because this martial art is really too low-level.

But what if one's thinking continues to improve?

Reaching the pinnacle of boxing techniques.

There are three thousand great paths, each leading to the heavens; there's no reason why martial arts wouldn't work.

But how to have both fish and bear's paw is a problem.

Gradually, Lin Yu stopped moving and stood still like a statue.

A bold idea began to slowly emerge in my mind.

His system is based on the principle that hard work pays off, meaning that as long as you work hard in one direction, you will definitely be rewarded.

Regardless of the amount of the reward, at least it can be considered that they always grant requests.

'If that's the case, could I combine the Mighty Bull Technique and the Crimson Fiend Fist to create a new martial art?'

'In this way, while cultivating in the future, I can simultaneously utilize two different techniques and obtain varying degrees of improvement, without having to worry about progress issues.'

The more Lin Yu thought about it, the more sense it made.

Even if you don't have a clue right now, as long as you do it, you'll definitely gain something.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu smiled and was just about to give it a try when Feng Qi's voice came.

"The wine in the pot is about to boil dry, aren't you going to take a look?"

Coming to his senses, Lin Yu quickly grabbed a jar of wine and added it in, while looking at Feng Qi, who was lying on a rocking chair and leisurely eating melon seeds, with an annoyed expression.

"If you see this, can't you get up and do something about it?"

"If I didn't know better, I would have thought you were in a rocking chair during your postpartum confinement."

Feng Qi glanced sideways at her, parted her red lips slightly, and spat out the melon seed shell.

"When I saved you back then, someone said they had no way to repay you and wanted to offer themselves to you."

"To pledge oneself to another is to pledge oneself to another; what does it have to do with this?"

Lin Yu spoke confidently, without feeling ashamed at all.

"You're acting like this just because I haven't laid a hand on you yet. If I had agreed in the first place, wouldn't you be hitting and scolding me now?"

"You're framing me, using baseless accusations to frame me."

"Urgent, urgent!"

Looking at Feng Qi's mocking expression, Lin Yu truly regretted why he had taught this guy those sarcastic remarks in the first place. Wasn't he just trying to annoy himself?

There's no meat for dinner tonight.

After leaving a comment, Lin Yu ignored the guy and turned to stare at the distilling furnace, beginning to think about cultivation techniques.

These bickering incidents happened frequently as they spent more time together and became more familiar with each other, so Lin Yu didn't really care.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's threat, Feng Qi, who was sitting in the rocking chair, became restless.

These days are uneventful; the biggest thing I look forward to each day is mealtime.

Chapter 27 Knowledge Deficiencies

I thought about it.

Feng Qi lifted her cloak and came to Lin Yu's side.

"Cough cough."

He cleared his throat to indicate his arrival.

Want some sunflower seeds?

Feng Qi tentatively reached out her hand towards Lin Yu.

"Don't try that on me. Don't think you can win me over with these little favors. I'm busy."

Lin Yu pushed Feng Qi's hand away, his mind racing.

Having failed in her attempt, Feng Qi thought for a moment and then simply pulled Lin Yu towards the room.

Lin Yu was focused on figuring out how to combine the two techniques and didn't pay attention to anything else.

Back in the room, Lin Yu sat down in a chair, and Feng Qi poured herself a cup of tea.

"Tell me, what are you thinking?"

"You don't understand it."

Lin Yu waved his hand, saw some paper and pen on the table, and picked them up to start writing and drawing.

Feng Qi glanced at the paper and asked, "Are you writing a secret manual?"

"Do you still remember me?"

Lin Yu spoke without looking up, assuming that Feng Qi was just glancing around casually, but he didn't expect her to remember.

"of course."

Feng Qi said casually, watching for a moment before speaking with a somewhat strange expression.

"You want to combine the two manuals?"

"Hmm, if you know, then don't bother me. This is very important."

Lin Yu spoke earnestly, continuing to write with focused concentration.

"Although I don't know much about martial arts, I know that with your current level, you simply can't do it."
