Water Ghost, God Hunter, Immortal Healer, and the Great Xia's Number One Martial Saint!

The Li family was his mortal enemy from the beginning.

Before he regained consciousness, he had seized his family's property by trickery and force, taking over his family's land for himself.

The fact that they nearly starved him to death, even though he had regained his memories, is enough to make them mortal enemies, to the point that it wouldn't be an exaggeration for Li Xingdao to kill them.

Now that I've vaguely guessed that my parents' death was also caused by their family, I find it even more intolerable.

At this point, Zhang Cui's matter became a minor detail.

"Soon. I'll chop down another month or so of trees, level up my woodcutter profession to the maximum, and then everything will be at the necessary level. It will be time to settle things with them."

As Li Xingdao pondered this, he gently touched Zhang Cui's soft cheek to reassure her.

Then he spoke a few words to Zhang Cui in a soft voice.

However, even though he had already resolved to kill, he still pretended to be simple-minded.

As the saying goes, "He who travels a hundred miles is only halfway there at ninety," meaning that when it comes to the moment of success, the worst thing you can do is be impatient.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance that Zhang Cui is pretending to be gathering information, he still needs to be wary of that.

Therefore, Li Xingdao remained calm and continued to present himself as honest and simple. While this made Zhang Cui feel warm, she was also a little worried, fearing that he might be frightened by Li Lai and abandon her.

Fortunately, she was relieved to see that Li Xingdao really liked her body.

Seeing that she was at ease, Li Xingdao lay down in the shade of the tree and fell asleep under her care.

After waking up, Li Xingdao acted as if nothing had happened. He picked up his axe again and went into the forest, still sweating profusely as he chopped down the trees.

Zhang Cui was still by his side taking care of him, and everything was as usual.

However, unlike usual, Li Xingdao now has a spirit attribute of 5.7, making him incredibly strong. Combined with the power and skill of his wood-chopping technique, he can easily chop down trees one by one.

Although sweating is inevitable during exercise, the amount of energy consumed is much less than before.

With that terrifying power, he could cut down 30 trees a day without feeling particularly tired.

Instead, after returning home that day, he took a shower with a silly grin, then took Zhang Cui to the kitchen to play with her.

Zhang Cui's legs were so weak from his teasing that she only stopped when he finally did. She quickly got up to wash up and then used a fan to coax him to bed.

Fortunately, no one else knew about the things between the two of them, and outsiders were unaware of them.

Even though Li Xingdao played around with Zhang Cui every day after that, no one found it strange or inappropriate.

And in this way of life, thirty days passed by unnoticed.

"..."

Winter arrived before we knew it, but the brick kiln was still firing bricks.

That morning, Li Xingdao, accompanied by Zhang Cui whose complexion was much rosier and more radiant than before, cut down another tree in the forest.

[Lumberjacking +1]

[The lumberjack's experience points have been met; Lumberjack Lv4 has been upgraded to Lumberjack Lv5 (awaiting job advancement)]

[Attribute Points +0.5]

[Skill level 4 Woodchopping has been upgraded to level 5]

[New effect added at Woodcutting Lv5: Combo Axe Technique (allows for skillful, continuous swings using chopping force)]

[The woodcutter profession has reached its maximum level. You can now switch to any mountain-based or combat profession. The specific profession you will choose will be determined the next time you encounter new profession powers.]

[Please note: The higher your host attributes before changing jobs, the stronger the randomly acquired skills will be after the job change!]

As the information flashed across the panel, Li Xingdao instantly felt that the force he had been gathering through his muscles and bones had suddenly become much stronger, several times more powerful.

At the same time, a technique for using an axe, employing chopping force, and delivering smooth and light continuous strikes with considerable destructive power also emerged in his mind, as if it had been honed through countless trials and tribulations.

Noticing this change, a glint of light appeared in Li Xingdao's eyes.

The woodcutter profession has finally reached the maximum level!

"After the woodcutter profession reaches the maximum level, the basic skills are enhanced to the point that they are almost like martial arts moves. Not bad, really not bad."

Li Xingdao sensed the information about this continuous axe-slashing technique, and his heart surged with excitement. In particular, he felt an even more powerful force gathering in his body than before, which made him even happier.

When he finally checked the newly acquired 0.5 attribute points, his expression was even more remarkable.

If this 0.5 attribute point is added, his spirit attribute will exceed 6 points, reaching more than 6 times that of an ordinary person.

In addition, with the axe skills he acquired as a woodcutter, he was even more confident that he could kill all of Li Lai's group in this small Peach Blossom Village!

Besides, he doesn't necessarily have to wait until they're all gathered before he makes his move!

"You big idiot, dinner's ready."

Just then, Li Gou's shouts came from the brick kiln next door.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingdao's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. He picked up the long-handled axe beside him, took Zhang Cui, who was wearing a cotton-padded coat and was following him, and walked towards that place.

When winter came, the weather became much colder.

Although Li Xingdao wasn't dressed very warmly because he was chopping wood, Zhang Cui had already changed into a thin jacket.

However, she had a good figure, fair skin, and a gentle face, so even though she was wearing a padded jacket, she still had a lot of feminine charm.

After being led by Li Xingdao, she obediently followed him and sat down with him in the dining shed.

Upon entering the food stall and sitting down, he was greeted by a large bowl of pork belly, along with vegetables and rice, which was placed in front of him.

The portion of pork belly was very generous.

Li Xingdao knew this was the reward he deserved for cutting down 30 trees every day to keep the brick kiln business afloat.

Of course, in order to avoid attracting too much attention, he gradually reduced the number of firewood he chopped by one or two as winter approached, which is why he didn't reach the maximum experience value for woodcutters until noon today.

Once the food was served, Li Xingdao didn't stand on ceremony and picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat heartily.

Zhang Cui, who had been enjoying the good food and drinks with him, also had an embarrassed smile on her face as she ate with him.

She simply gently served Li Xingdao food from time to time during the meal.

The food at the brick kiln was nothing like what she ate at home. Zhang Cui knew that the reason she was able to eat this meal was because Li Xingdao was honest and hardworking, and the people at the brick kiln didn't mind him and just brought her here to eat.

Otherwise, if a woodcutter who couldn't do the work were replaced, he definitely wouldn't receive this treatment.

Therefore, she became increasingly gentle and obedient towards Li Xingdao.

Li Xingdao didn't pay attention to these things. After eating until he was about 70% full, he had a slight thought and immediately put 0.5 attribute points into the spirit attribute.

[Energy Attribute: 5.7 → 6.2]

The Spirit attribute suddenly broke through the 6 attribute point limit, reaching 6.2.

It was as if a furnace was burning inside Li Xingdao's body, and his physical strength suddenly increased by a significant margin.

As the stove burned, the food he had eaten, which was about 70% full, was quickly digested.
