The newcomer was shirtless, his muscular physique gleaming with an oily sheen.

It was Zhao Erniu, the hunter from yesterday, who was looking at Lin Feng with anticipation.

He wasn't annoyed by Lin Feng's words, but just smiled sheepishly and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Young Master Lin, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

I came in as soon as the city gates opened, thinking I'd get back as soon as possible.

"Alright, come in."

Opening the gate, Lin Feng couldn't help but ask, "Erniu, what did you hunt this time?"

A smug look appeared on Zhao Erniu's square face, and his two thick eyebrows stood out.

"It's still two wild boars this time, but they're bigger."

"Okay, bring him in."

"Okay!"

Zhao Erniu pushed a cart with two black-bristled wild boars, about the size of calves, tied to it with cow tendons.

He walked steadily, without the slightest strain.

Seeing this, Lin Feng felt even more that Zhao Erniu was no ordinary person.

"The price remains the same as before, 20 coins per jin. How much are your two wild boars?"

"Young Master Lin, when you came, we weighed the two bastards; they weighed a total of 850 jin."

17 taels will suffice.

"Can"

Lin Feng didn't haggle and readily gave 17 taels of silver.

"The money is no problem, thank you, Young Master Lin."

"If you have something good to send, please do so discreetly."

"It's Young Master Lin."

Zhao Erniu was still very happy to do business with Lin Feng.

It's quick and efficient, saving a lot of time.

After Zhao Erniu left, Lin Feng placed his hand on the wild boars, and Black Lotus devoured both wild boars in an instant.

Instantly, a significant amount of Qi and blood flowed back, and Lin Feng felt a warm sensation spread throughout his body, slowly permeating his limbs and bones.

I felt full of energy, as if I had inexhaustible strength.

He took out Ah Gui's hardwood bow again.

Lin Feng easily pulled it behind his ears, tucking it in completely.

The progress is very obvious.

According to the hunter A-Gui's memory, the bow in his hand was an heirloom, a stone bow.

A stone bow, the bow itself weighs 20 jin (10 catties) and is nearly as tall as a person.

This hardwood bow has a draw weight of approximately 120 jin (60 catties).

In order to draw this bow, Ah Gui spent three years just practicing the basics of bow drawing.

Another year of archery practice, another two years of aiming practice, and five years of actual hunting.

That's why we achieved what we have before.

However, Lin Feng inherited all of this.

Is Lin Feng's strength now on par with, or even slightly greater than, that of A Gui?

Lin Feng used to have a lot of trouble pulling, but now it's very easy.

It was even easier than what Aguila did.

Lin Feng took out an arrow and aimed it at the iron ring on the gate.

hum!

Accurate hit.

Seeing the results, Lin Feng was very satisfied; he could now be considered to have achieved some success in archery.

If some more ferocious beasts came, Lin Feng estimated that drawing two stone bows wouldn't be a problem.

In the novel *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, Huang Zhong was able to draw a bow with a draw weight of two stones and hit the target every time.

Lu Bu's "Shooting the Halberd at the Gate" required a pulling force of at least 600 jin.

Archers are actually weakest in shooting, but are much stronger in melee combat.

After all, at a distance of 100 paces, the cavalry would arrive quickly, and at most two arrows would be fired before the cavalry were right in front of them.

No wonder ancient archers were so strong; they were all like Wu Song.

If Lü Bu had always used a bow and arrow to fight his enemies, there would be the famous story of the Three Heroes fighting Lü Bu.

No one even dared to accept the challenge.

The black lotus returned a lot of energy, so Lin Feng had no appetite.

After quickly washing my face, I headed to the charity hall.

Upon arriving at the charity hall, they found that quite a few people had already arrived, and Zheng Hongwen had already begun practicing standing meditation.

Sun Dayong waved to Lin Feng and tossed him a book.

Lin Feng opened it and saw the first sentence: General Principles of Body Refinement: Qi and blood awaken when exposed to heat, and meridians become unblocked when exposed to heat.

Sun Dayong said again:

"The kung fu we practice at the Black Tiger Martial Arts School is called the 'Black Tiger Secret'."

The book you're holding contains the movement guidelines for the first level of the Body Refinement Realm.

There are a total of twelve stances, also known as the twelve "Tiger Stances".

It aligns with the pathways of the twelve meridians, primarily focusing on refining blood and qi to unblock the meridians.

After your Qi and blood are improved, your strength will also increase.

If you can hold each movement for one hour, you are considered qualified and can then practice the next movement.

Did you understand?

"clear"

"Next, I will demonstrate the first movement. Watch carefully, I will only teach you once."

"Yes"

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent as if sitting on a tiger bench, and arms hanging naturally with palms facing your abdomen.

When breathing, gently press the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.

Imagine the morning mist in the mountains seeping into your Baihui acupoint as you inhale...

Exhale and expel stale air from the Yongquan acupoint, while simultaneously slightly contracting the anus, like a tiger poised to pounce.

Sun Dayong spoke and acted simultaneously.

"Alright, figure it out on your own. If you don't understand something, ask someone else."

"Yes, senior brother."

After Sun Dayong left, Lin Feng began to practice the same movements Sun Dayong had just made.

For some reason, Lin Feng felt that his mind was working exceptionally well, and he remembered all the details clearly.

In a short while, Lin Feng felt his whole body getting hot and his blood flow increasing.

I quickly got the hang of it.

Sun Dayong, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback and somewhat surprised.

I never expected Lin Feng to be so talented and have such vigorous blood and energy.

When Sun Dayong recalled Lin Feng saying he was a hunter, he seemed to understand something and thought it made sense.

After a short while, Lin Feng's first meridian was easily opened, but in order not to attract attention, he stopped after a cup of tea.

Before we knew it, the morning glow faded, and the scorching sun began to beat down.

Seeing that everyone was resting, Lin Feng also stopped.

Pretending is still quite difficult.

Seeing Lin Feng standing there in a daze, Zheng Hongwen walked over with a smile and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.

"Junior Brother Lin, what's wrong? Is there something you don't understand?"

"I can't get the hang of it even after practicing for ages, and my breathing always goes wrong."

Zheng Hongwen laughed and said, "Junior brother, this is normal. It took me ten days to figure out the knack back then."

Although you are not as talented as me, don't give up on yourself.

The key to boxing is one word: "practice." The more you practice, the better.

Lin Feng couldn't help but turn around and glance at Zheng Hongwen. The sunlight shone on his face, making it glow with golden light, and his brows were full of confidence.

"Senior brother's talent is amazing, junior brother admires him."

"Haha, easy! Just ask me if you don't understand."

Lin Feng couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, what does this Body Refinement Realm mean?"

Zheng Hongwen smiled slightly, "Body refinement is the foundation, and there are four realms in total."

The human body itself is a universe, incredibly amazing.

External stimulation can unleash the body's internal power.

Blood is the very foundation of human life.

This first realm: the realm of Qi and Blood;

Through standing meditation, one can gather qi and blood, allowing them to flow through the twelve meridians and reach their optimal state.

When your Qi and blood flow smoothly, your strength will increase.

Do you see that stone lock?

Following Zheng Hongwen's gaze, one could see a row of stone locks in the corner of the wall.

"I saw it."

"Once the twelve meridians are connected, your strength will double, and you can easily lift a 200-pound stone weight over your head."

At this point, ordinary people are no match for you; you can kill someone with a mere flick of your wrist.

"I see. What about the next level?"
