Chapter 33 Rising to Fame
Fengyang Mountain has a rugged mountain road.

This is the only mountain near Ankang County without bandits, and many people rely on it for their livelihood.

For example, hunting, collecting herbs, etc.

As for why there are no bandits here, the reason is very simple, because the caravans will never pass by here, they will only take the road to Heiming Mountain.

It’s not that the government protects them well, but that the bandits are not stupid either.

There's no benefit in this. There's nothing wrong with just guarding the hill.

"Master Lin, there is a tiger on this hill. It is very strong. Someone saw it with his own eyes. It fought with more than a dozen hungry wolves. Not only was it fine, but it killed all the hungry wolves. It was terrifying."

While chatting on the road, the hunter felt relieved when he learned that Lin Fan was the owner of the martial arts school. He thought that sending him in might not be so dangerous.

Based on the hunter's description, Lin Fan already had an image of the ferocious tiger in his mind.

"It seems that this tiger is really scary."

"It's really terrible."

Under the guidance of the hunter, they soon arrived at the area where tigers often appeared. The hunter bent down and looked around. In the deep mountains, if you want to know if there is any danger, you have to look around to see if there are footprints or feces.

"Master Lin, I won't go any further." The hunter stopped and didn't want to go any deeper. If they really met that tiger, and Master Lin was no match for it, then the two of them would just be there to feed the tiger.

Everyone wants to make money.

But you have to be alive to spend it.

Otherwise everything you say is false.

Lin Fan said, "If you go back now, what if you encounter a tiger on the way?"

This kind of scenario happens all the time. As the saying goes, accidents always happen unexpectedly.

The hunter thought about it and agreed. He then walked to a tree and climbed up the tree swiftly, using his hands and feet like a monkey. He then said, "Master Lin, I'll just wait here."

Lin Fan looked at the hunter who had already climbed up the tree and couldn't help but praise him. It was really amazing. It seemed that the prerequisite for becoming a qualified hunter was to be able to climb trees.

In response, Lin Fan walked forward with a knife in hand.

The hunter refused to go in no matter what, and it was obvious that the tiger was nearby.

Looking around, it was very quiet and there was no sign of the tiger.

Waiting for the tiger to come to you on its own initiative?
Who knows when that will happen.

"There is."

Suddenly, Lin Fan's eyes lit up and an idea came to him.

"Ouch..."

This is what a little tiger's roar should sound like. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Now pretend that a little tiger enters your territory, can you still tolerate it?

Ouch!

Ouch!

Lin Fan yelled.

The hunter who had already climbed up the tree in the distance had a complicated expression on his face when he heard the cry. He had a vague feeling that maybe the owner of the forest museum was not doing well in the head.
Why do you think this is called...

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a tiger roared in the forest, scaring the hunter so much that he almost fell off the tree. A look of horror suddenly appeared on his face. It was the sound of a tiger. It was really the sound of a tiger.

Grass, is it really useful?
An experienced hunter like him knows how terrifying this tiger is. Even if he has never encountered a tiger, sweat will come out of his palms.

at this time.

Lin Fan was staring at the tiger. The tiger in front of him was indeed extraordinary. It had a strong and ferocious body, dazzling yellow stripes draped over its body, crystal-like eyes flashing with wildness, and thick claws and sharp teeth that were enough to tear anything apart.

Roar!
The tiger roared, and hot air came out of its mouth and nose.

call!
Lin Fan let out a breath and adjusted his mentality. This was his first time to have such a close contact with a tiger. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.

Although wild beasts cannot practice cultivation, their bodies are naturally strong, not to mention that the tiger in front of them is much stronger than ordinary tigers.

Can a warrior at the Qi and Blood realm be its opponent?

It’s hard to say. We’ll know the result when we take action.

There are only two types.

One who kills a tiger and gets the title of tiger-killing hero.

The other option is to serve as a buffet for the tigers, solving their food problems for the day, and even that may not fill them up.

There was no nonsense between the two sides. The tiger pounced and slapped Lin Fan with its heavy front claws. The power of this claw was extremely strong. If an ordinary person was hit by it, his internal organs would be shattered.

Lin Fan moved his feet and dodged instantly, slapping the tiger's body with both palms. The Wind and Thunder Palm was not only agile but also powerful.

The tiger roared in pain, its wildness completely aroused, and its eyes revealed a fierce look.

"The leather is thick and the flesh is thick."

The brief contact did cause damage to the tiger, but it was not enough to be fatal.

"With my current strength, if I really want to kill this tiger, I'm afraid I'll have to pay some price."

Lin Fan analyzed that it was indeed not enough to fight such a ferocious beast with bare hands.

But one thing that distinguishes humans from beasts is that...

Humans use tools.

For example, this knife.

Or maybe it could be this entry-level Vajra Talisman.

Holding a knife in one hand and a talisman in the other.

"Big bug, come here."

Roar!
The tiger attacked fiercely, even more ferocious than before.

Lin Fan remained motionless and calm. Just when the tiger was about to pounce, he crushed the talisman with two fingers, and with the Vajra protection on his body, he resisted the tiger's heavy palms. Its sharp nails scratched his clothes, and it even bit Lin Fan's head.

Sonorous!

There was a sound of metal rubbing against each other.

Lin Fan stabbed the knife into the tiger's neck, then slapped it with both palms, which fell on the tiger like a violent storm. The tiger screamed in pain and was knocked to the ground.

The knife in the neck continues to cause harm.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan took a step forward, sat astride the tiger, raised his arms and clenched his fists, punching it again and again. His tiger-fighting posture was quite domineering. When encountering a ferocious beast, the blood in his body boiled and his whole body seemed to have endless strength.

Punch after punch fell, bang bang. Even if the tiger stopped moving, they still didn't stop. The vitality of animals is very tenacious. You thought it was dead, it might be pretending.

After a moment, his fists were stained with hot tiger blood.

The tiger's eyeballs were smashed out by the hammer.

Dead as hell.

"Phew, luckily I used the entry-level Vajra Talisman, otherwise I would have been injured even if I had withstood it, the force was really strong."

Lin Fan exhaled fiercely with a breath of burning air, and looked back to see the hunter standing there stupidly, staring with his eyes wide open, stunned, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Dead, dead..."

When he arrived, he only saw Master Lin riding on a tiger, punching the tiger one after another, and all he could hear was the tiger's screams.

Such a scene really scared him.

"Yes, it's dead." Lin Fan wiped the blood on the tiger's fur, then carried the tiger on his shoulder, "Let's go down the mountain. Lend me this knife first, and you can come to the martial arts gym to get it back later."

"Oh, oh." The hunter came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly. When he saw the tiger in full view, he was really dumbfounded. This was a large and terrifying tiger, at least twice the size of an ordinary adult tiger.

Can one person really kill it alone?

Lin Fan carried the tiger down the mountain, and the hunter followed behind. His eyes were always on the tragically dead tiger. When he looked into its burst eye sockets, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

……

The gate of Ankang County.

Suddenly, exclamations were heard.

"Big bug, big bug."

"What a big tiger."

"Master Lin, he is the Master Lin of the Lin Clan Martial Arts School. He was the one who killed the giant bug."

When the people entering and leaving the county saw such a huge tiger, they all exclaimed in surprise, then gathered around, pointing and talking. Some of them had never seen a tiger in their entire lives, let alone such a huge one.

Even the soldiers guarding the city gates were the same.

"I saw with my own eyes how Master Lin beat the tiger to death. He was riding on the tiger and hammering it to death. The scene and the situation are simply unbelievable if you didn't see it with your own eyes." The hunter said loudly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

This greatly satisfied the hunter's vanity.

Although I didn't kill him, I saw it with my own eyes.

Carrying such a huge tiger carcass does seem a bit ostentatious, but how else can you take it back if not like this?

Besides, this is not a bad thing.

It's also good to build a reputation for yourself.

He headed towards the martial arts gym, and the number of people following him increased instead of decreasing.

"Master Lin is truly a god."

"Yeah, I get scared just looking at a tiger this big. How terrifying would it be if it were alive?"

"If you want to learn Wu Liu Men, you can't get in. I think you have to go to Lin's Martial Arts School."

"By the way, what is the current fee for Lin's Martial Arts School?"

"The price has gone up. It's not cheap anymore."

Listening to the conversation of the people, Lin Fan smiled inwardly. Not long after, when he returned to the martial arts hall, the apprentices were shocked to see the hall master carrying a tiger back.

"Master, this tiger..." Li Dana stepped forward.

Lin Fan waved his hand, "It's okay. Go find a skilled craftsman to prepare the tiger's flesh, skin and bones for me. Especially store the blood in a jar for me."

"Master Lin, can I take care of it?" The hunter volunteered. "We hunters are not only good at hunting, but we also have a lot of experience in handling wild animal carcasses."

"You, well, thank you." Lin Fan thought about it and believed that the hunter must be more familiar with this aspect.

Then he seemed to have thought of something.

“There is no processing fee.”

Orion:......

……

The next day.

Formerly the Hongquan Martial Arts School, now the Lin's Martial Arts School.

clap clap clap...

The sound of firecrackers rang out and gunpowder smoke rose up.

Countless people were watching.

Lin Fan stood on the steps and bowed to the people on the street to express his gratitude.

"Brother Lin, congratulations." Han Wei arrived with a smile on his face. The martial arts school relocation was a big deal, so he naturally had to come. "I heard that the master of the Lin family martial arts school, Lin, who was a tiger-killing hero, is now known throughout the city and is very popular."

"Haha, Brother Han, please stop teasing me. These are just what ordinary people say. If this kind of tiger met Brother Han, it would have been dead long ago." Lin Fan smiled helplessly.

He was telling the truth. With Han Wei's level of cultivation, it was easy for him to kill such a ferocious tiger. He could probably kill it with just one punch.

"By the way, has the apology from Kongming Martial Arts School been delivered?" Han Wei asked.

"Delivered."

"That's good."

"Brother Han, please come in."

"No, I have something important to deal with later. I came all the way here to congratulate you. I don't have anything else to give you, so I'll give you this bottle of medicine."

Han Wei took out a wooden bottle from his arms and handed it to Lin Fan.

"Here is..."

Lin Fan seemed to have thought of something.

Han Wei said, "Twenty pieces of Strengthening Pills in total. Brother Lin has many apprentices. If we want to speed up their cultivation, we need some pills. These Strengthening Pills can strengthen their Qi and blood, which is very useful."

"Thank you, Brother Han." Lin Fan clasped his fists in gratitude. It was true that what he needed came to him. Once he refined the Blood Tiger Pill, he could try out the difference between the two pills.

"Farewell."

Han Wei did not stay long and left in a hurry, and so did his subordinates who followed him.

Lin Fan looked at his departing back, and seeing that he left in such a hurry, he knew that it must be something important.

"Uncle Lin." Qiu Cai came with his younger brother, carrying two big fishes. The smile on his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

"Acai."

Lin Fan nodded towards Qiu Cai. He attached great importance to this person whom he wanted to train.

It just needs to grow, and growth takes time.

His younger brother Qiu De looked at Lin Fan with admiration, and Lin Fan rubbed the little guy's head.

"Is the situation at the fishing station okay?" Lin Fan asked.

"Master Lin, everything is fine. Thanks to you, everyone respects me."

Qiu Cai felt that life was truly magical and changes came and went. He used to be an insignificant little figure in the fishing area, but after working for Master Lin, he suddenly became the person he once thought he was.

People who used to fish with him always surrounded him and said compliments.

He knew that these were all brought by Master Lin.

"That's good, take your brother inside and sit down." Lin Fan said.

"Yes, Master Lin."

Qiu Cai brought his brother and walked in with his head held high, carrying the fish. Some of the onlookers knew Qiu Cai, who was just a fisherman. They didn't expect that he could attend the Lin family martial arts school's migration banquet. They were full of jealousy.

Once inside, Qiu Cai immediately started to get busy.

He just wanted to work hard on the stage given by Master Lin, and after doing what Master Lin asked him to do, he would give his younger brother a good life.

Lin Fan looked at the people on the street outside, and then at the busy apprentices in the courtyard.

He felt very happy, although he had not achieved everything he wanted, but he was able to gain a foothold in Ankang County. All this was due to his own efforts.

Sure enough, as long as people work hard, they will reap great rewards.
