I Use My Secondary Job To Add Talents

Chapter 15: Silver Bones

In such a short amount of time, it was impossible for Song Fulu to string his bow again, so he directly discarded the steel bow and drew his fifty-refined Goose Feather Knife, charging forward.

Lowering his head, kicking his legs, swiftly darting, and raising his long knife... a series of movements were completed in the blink of an eye, with astonishing speed. He rushed past the belly of the heavily injured Qingfeng Wolf.

"Chi..."

The knife light was like a whip, piercing through the belly and cutting open a long gash. The innards of the Qingfeng Wolf fell down like raindrops, some of them landing on Song Fulu.

"Pa..."

At this moment, Song Fulu heard the sound of tree branches breaking in the distance. Following the sound, he looked over and saw Song Baoshi, his face filled with worry and astonishment.

Looking at the Qingfeng Wolf, which had fallen to the ground and struggled a few times before becoming motionless, both Song Fulu and Song Baoshi fell silent.

After dozens of minutes, the two of them cleaned up the corpse of the Qingfeng Wolf and arrived at the hidden cellar of Song Fulu.

"Xiaofu, is your strength already this strong?" After a long silence, Song Baoshi couldn't help but ask.

Song Fulu already knew why Song Baoshi appeared here. It turned out that a few days ago, Song Baoshi had noticed something unusual about Song Fulu. Worried about his safety, he had been secretly following him. Unexpectedly, he happened to catch up with Song Fulu hunting the Qingfeng Wolf.

Song Baoshi's actions of secretly following at the risk of his own life made Song Fulu completely acknowledge him as his foster father.

After thinking for a moment, Song Fulu explained, "Ever since I woke up after falling into the water, I felt that my mind had opened up. Many things that I didn't understand before, I can now understand. When I cultivate, it feels like I have divine assistance. Even in blacksmithing and alchemy, my progress is unstoppable, and the speed of improvement is astonishing. That's why I didn't dare to tell you directly."

"I have also noticed, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly." Song Baoshi sighed. "Will you stay in Stone Bull Village forever?"

Song Fulu shook his head. "My Mountain Fist is about to reach the fourth layer of perfection. By then, I will definitely need further cultivation methods. So, in the near future, I will go to Passing River City. Please forgive me, Father. Once I establish myself in Passing River City, I will bring you over to enjoy a comfortable life."

"It's time to leave. Stone Bull Village is too small for you. Don't worry about me, I'm fine here. You can come and get me whenever you want." After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on Song Baoshi's old face. In order to not make Song Fulu worry, he didn't show any reluctance.

It is often said that children are raised to support their parents in old age, but many times, children are far away in distant lands.

Hearing Song Baoshi's insincere words, Song Fulu understood. However, for the sake of his own future and a better life for his family, he had to leave this place.

Moreover, in situations like the Qingfeng Wolf, who knows if there will be a next time? Song Fulu was able to handle it this time, but if a more powerful beast or monster comes next time and Song Fulu can't handle it, wouldn't he be waiting for death?

In this chaotic era of rampant monsters and a turbulent country, only by possessing enough strength can one control their own fate and protect the people around them.

Although the meat of the Qingfeng Wolf was not delicious, it could provide more vital energy. Moreover, it weighed over two thousand catties, so Song Fulu naturally wouldn't let it go to waste.

In the following six months, Song Fulu steadily improved his strength, step by step. His Beast Taming Technique also leveled up twice, reaching level six. However, just like the Weapon Refining Technique, Alchemy Technique, Seed Planting Technique, and others, it was approaching stagnation. Relying solely on experience accumulation, progress was slow.

Basic Movement Technique, Basic Knife Technique, and Basic Archery Technique did not have any sudden breakthroughs either. Although they continued to improve according to the attribute panel, progress was slow, and they were slow to transform.

Only his strength improved rapidly, along with Song Fulu's wallet.

During these six months, Song Fulu gradually exchanged a large amount of stone beef jerky for precious medicinal materials. He refined them into convenient and portable pills. In just a short six months, he accumulated over a thousand pills of medium-grade Mortal Level, enough for him to use for a long time.

The two Free Talent Points gained from leveling up Beast Taming Technique were both allocated by Song Fulu to Cultivation Talent, further enhancing his Cultivation Talent.

Exterior Forging: One Layer Skin Tempering, Exterior Forging: Two Layer Flesh Tempering, Exterior Forging: Three Layer Tendon Tempering, and Exterior Forging: Four Layer Bone Tempering.

At this moment, every muscle in Song Fulu's body was extremely strong and resilient, capable of erupting with astonishing attacks. His bones were extremely hard, with powerful penetrating force. Once he fully activated his blood and qi, every bone would become silvery, a sign that Bone Tempering was approaching its peak.

With a single movement, a force close to a thousand jin suddenly erupted, easily shattering large rocks. Even the largest stone bull couldn't withstand the might of Song Fulu's fist.

It was also time to leave. Song Fulu looked at the attribute panel in front of him and made a decision.

However, just before leaving, a tragic incident occurred nearby. Zhen Zhuang was destroyed by a yellow-spotted tiger.

Zhen Zhuang was only a dozen li away from Stone Bull Village and was home to several hundred villagers. Although its strength couldn't compare to Stone Bull Village, it still had about one-third of Stone Bull Village's strength. The villagers were known for their ferocity, mostly surnamed Zhen.

The village chief of Zhen Zhuang, Zhen Le, was even stronger than Lu Wenshan. However, faced with the yellow-spotted tiger, he had no resistance and was swallowed directly.

It was said that the reason this yellow-spotted tiger came down the mountain to massacre the village was mainly because one of Zhen Zhuang's hunters had set a trap that killed its cub, causing the yellow-spotted tiger to go into a rage and slaughter the entire village.

The yellow-spotted tiger was a mid-level fierce beast, corresponding to a Martial Artist in the Interior Refinement realm. It was said to be able to contend with a Martial Artist at the fourth layer of Interior Refinement, comparable to a second-rate expert and already close to first-rate.

Not to mention that Zhen Zhuang couldn't withstand it, even if the yellow-spotted tiger broke into Stone Bull Village, whether it could withstand it was still unknown.

Although the yellow-spotted tiger had returned to the depths of Stone Bull Mountain, who knew if it would come back and vent its anger on the surrounding villages? Such incidents had happened before.

With Song Fulu's current strength, even if he used all his means, he would probably be helpless against the yellow-spotted tiger and would ultimately meet a fatal end.

Unless Song Fulu could step into the Interior Refinement realm, there was no possibility of resisting the yellow-spotted tiger. However, there was no method in the surrounding villages to break through to the Interior Refinement realm.

Only Passing River City had the cultivation method for the later layers of Mountain Fist. If Song Fulu wanted to continue improving, he had to hurry to Passing River City and obtain the cultivation method for the later layers of Mountain Fist before reaching the perfection of Exterior Forging: Four Layer.

After revealing his current strength to the village chief and elders, they no longer obstructed him. They even gave Song Fulu some precious medicinal materials, hoping that if he could rise in Passing River City in the future, he would take care of the people in the village.

Without letting anyone accompany him, Song Fulu carried a large bag, along with weapons and poison powder, and left Stone Bull Village under the morning sun.
