Xia Qingxue revealed a bitter smile. “It was clearly when we were young. Why do you remember it so clearly?”

With Xia Qingxue’s beauty, figure, and family background, there was naturally no lack of people who wanted her the most. However, she would reject them every time because she understood that these people only liked her appearance and her family background. They didn’t really like her at all.

Whenever this happened, the image of the boy’s smile would always appear in her mind. It was so innocent and warm.

This made her miss the boy from back then even more. Hence, one day, she could no longer hold it in and used her family’s connections to find out who the boy was.

In the end, all the information was locked onto Su Hao. At that time, Su Hao had already applied for high school. He wanted her to come to Shanghai to study by herself.. When she received this news, she spent some effort to get Su Hao to rent her house. After that, she moved over and began to silently observe him for a few years.

“Ah ah ah ah! This idiot! Stupid idiot! Damn straight man! Why doesn’t he know anything!”

Xia Bixue grabbed the pillow with resentment written all over her face and punched at it to vent her resentment towards Su Hao.

…

“Eh… I’m full.”

Su Hao sat comfortably in his chair and burped. He crossed his legs and picked his teeth with a toothpick in his right hand.

“System, open the interface.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a personal information panel appeared in front of Su Hao.

[Host: Su Hao]

[System: 140]

[Agility: 140]

Power: 140

Combat Strength: Level 7 Qi Refinement

After looking through it once more, a question arose in Su Hao’s heart, then he immediately asked: “System, if I remember correctly, most cultivators cultivate spirit, then after reaching the realm, they will conveniently strengthen their physical body, right? Then this physical body strength of mine, is it the kind that others conveniently strengthen?”

At this moment, the system had already unlocked the answer function. The cold female voice sounded again.

“Host, no. There are two types of cultivation systems in this world. One is spirit cultivation and the other is body tempering. The former’s spirit energy is strong and can cast many powerful spells, but the physical body is weak. The latter’s spirit energy is weak and cannot cast powerful spells. However, the physical body is enough to match the spells cast by the spirit cultivators. To put it simply, it can break all spells with one force.”

“The enhancement that the system has given the host is based on the standard enhancement of body cultivators. Therefore, the host’s current strength is truly at the seventh layer of the Aura Refining realm and is not weaker than other cultivators.”

Hearing that, Su Hao nodded happily. Although he had already guessed that this might be the case, after hearing the system’s explanation, he could finally be at ease.

“How many points does the eighth level of Qi Refining require?”

“In order to answer your questions, I will make a list for you. Please wait a moment.”

A moment later, the system’s voice sounded again.

“Because the host is too weak, I only have a list of Refinement Stage Cultivators.

A form appeared in front of Su Hao.

[Spiritual Cultivation Constitution Table: Level 1 Qi Refinement 10-20, Level 2 Qi Refinement 20-30, and so on, increasing by 10 points. Level 12 Qi Refinement 120-130 points]

[Physique Tempering Table: Level 1 Qi Refinement 20-30, Level 2 Qi Refinement 40-50, and so on, increasing by 20 points. Level 12 Qi Refinement 240-260 points]

“If the strengthening of my physical body is based on the body cultivator’s words, then I will advance 160 points next time?”

Su Hao looked at the body-tempering table and slowly calculated.

“No! Due to the uniqueness of the host, the points required to advance to the eighth level are 240 points for Constitution, 240 points for Agility, and 240 points for Strength.”

“So many?!”

Su Hao was dumbfounded. A body cultivator had advanced to 160 points, but he had 240 points. This was equivalent to a body cultivator reaching the 12th level of the Aura Refining realm! This was a little ridiculous!

However, he immediately felt relieved. So be it. He could rely on the system’s special method to become stronger. He should be content!

Su Hao felt that it was because he could not cultivate that he needed more physiques to fill his body when he advanced. Hence, he did not complain.

After asking what he wanted to know the most, Su Hao had nothing else to do. He turned on his phone and played some games for a while. Then, he laid on his bed and planned to rest. Although he had received the system’s reward today, after practicing for so long, people would get tired.

…

The next morning, following the concept of birds having insects to eat, Su Hao once again went to the Demonic Beast Forest to find a place to practice.

“Is it going to rain?”

Su Hao looked at the darkening sky not far away, but he quickly said, “No, that’s not right! There’s no dampness in the air, and…”

“Only that small area is filled with dark clouds.”

He looked at the sky and sharply noticed that apart from the small area in front of him, the rest of the place was sunny.

Just when Su Hao’s heart was filled with doubts, he suddenly discovered that the ground was shaking! Very quickly, he discovered a bunch of demonic beasts appearing in front of him. The surrounding trees were broken by huge figures. As they ran, dust and gravel flew everywhere.

In the next instant, Su Hao’s pupils slightly contracted, and without the slightest hesitation, he placed his right hand on the hilt of his blade. In the next moment, the blade light flashed, and fresh blood sprayed out! A huge elephant-shaped demonic beast was split into two by him.

As the elephant-shaped demonic beast fell to the ground, the demonic beasts that continuously ran out from behind, although they did not have any intelligence, their instincts told them that this human was not to be trifled with. All of them avoided Su Hao, fearing that this malefic star would leave them here.

“Ahem…”

Su Hao hurriedly covered his mouth and nose. The dust that this group of demonic beasts stirred up was too great, even choking him.

After a moment, the tremors on the ground stopped. Su Hao frowned. He understood that something big must have happened for a group of demonic beasts to be fleeing so frantically.

“Should we go over and take a look?”

Su Hao was a bit hesitant, because the unknown was the most terrifying enemy. He didn’t know what was happening ahead, whether or not he could deal with it with his own strength.

“F*ck! I can ask the system!”

Su Hao slapped his head and suddenly remembered the existence of the system. He hurriedly asked, “What’s going on in front of the system?”

“Reporting to host, there are demon beasts with extremely powerful bloodlines advancing to the Building Foundation Stage ahead.”

“D*mn, Foundation Establishment, then I’d better run. With my strength, I won’t even be able to withstand a slap from him.”

When Su Hao heard this, he immediately planned to leave first. This was not cowardice, but a strategic retreat.

What nonsense! His current strength was only at the seventh layer of the Aura Refining realm. If he were to go over, the other party would slap him to death. Wasn’t he going to retreat and fight head-on? What a tough guy!

Just as he was about to turn around and leave without looking back, the cold female voice of the system sounded in his mind again.

“According to the data, the species of the Monstrous Beast is the Amethyst Winged Lion. When the Amethyst Winged Lion advances, if it doesn’t have the right timing and geographical advantage, then its advancement will definitely fail, and it will even suffer heavy injuries, causing its cultivation to fall. If it doesn’t have a great fortuitous encounter, then it can only stop at the Refinement Stage.”

“Right now, the advancement of this Purple-Golden Winged Lion did not have the right timing and geographical advantage. Instead, its advancement was rushed, so its advancement will definitely fail.”

“Let’s go! Let’s go!”

As soon as the system finished speaking, Su Hao immediately turned around. He was so excited that it was as if he had been injected with chicken blood! It was as if he wasn’t the one who wanted to run away.
