29: Chapter 29 The Helper Who Came to Our Door

Seeing Chen Hu acting so calm, the three He brothers subconsciously assumed there was an ambush here.

However, after listening carefully, they discovered that apart from themselves and Chen Hu, there was no one else here.

"Kid, do you think you can escape with your life by putting on a show?"

The eldest of the He family snorted coldly, "Second, Third, take action and slaughter this kid!"

"Go to hell!"

The second He brother and He Third received the order and pounced toward Chen Hu in unison.

However, the moment they approached Chen Hu, their feet stumbled, their bodies went limp, and their heads became drowsy.

"Not good, we've been tricked!"

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Four steel needles shot out, instantly piercing the eyes of the second He brother and the third, He Third.

"Ah!"

The two let out miserable screams and retreated rapidly.

"Second Brother, Third Brother!"

Seeing this scene, the eldest He brother was greatly shocked, then his figure flashed in front of Chen Hu, and he threw a punch.

"Bang!"

Chen Hu raised his hand to meet it.

The two fists collided in mid-air.

Accompanied by a muffled grunt, the tall body of the eldest He brother was suddenly sent flying backward.

Chen Hu, stepping on the Wind and Cloud Step, followed like a shadow.

"Pfft!"

A Heart-Destroying Claw landed on the eldest He brother's chest. Not only did it directly tear away a piece of flesh from his chest, but a sharp burst of Qi also drilled into his body, bombarding his heart.

Attacked by the Qi, the eldest He brother immediately fell to the ground in pain.

Seeing this, Chen Hu kicked the opponent's head. The Qi seeped into his body, directly destroying the brain tissue inside, and the eldest He brother also ceased to breathe.

Then, he easily dealt with the second He brother and the third, who had become blind.

He began to loot the corpses.

He found 3,500 taels of silver banknotes and over 30 taels of broken silver on the eldest He brother.

He also searched over 230 taels of silver from the second He brother.

He found over 180 taels of silver on the third He brother.

"Store!"

With a wave of his hand, he stored the bodies of the three He brothers into his Storage Ring.

He cleaned up the scene.

Chen Hu sat back on the chair and pondered to himself, who had hired these three He brothers.

His public cultivation was only at the Late Skin Refining Stage.

Yet someone sent two at the Refining Flesh Mid-Stage and one at the Meat Refining Stage to assassinate him.

How much that person must want him dead.

After some contemplation, he locked onto two forces: the Venomous Snake Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang.

Last time the Wild Wolf Gang and the Venomous Snake Gang joined forces to raid the Third Battle Hall; if it weren't for him, they would definitely have succeeded.

It was because of him that the two gangs not only failed to take the Third Battle Hall but also suffered heavy losses.

It was normal for them to want to retaliate against him.

Moreover, this time the other party hired the three He brothers to assassinate him.

If they found out it didn't succeed, then next time, would they hire someone from the Tendon Refining Realm?

For a moment, the sense of crisis in Chen Hu's heart deepened.

"Forget it, don't think about these things, Cultivating is important!"

Calming his mind, Chen Hu entered the state of Cultivation again.

The next morning.

Chen Hu hadn't been to the Slum Area to see that group of children for a while.

So, he decided to go over and take a look.

However, when he arrived, he discovered a group of children gathered outside the courtyard.

He ignored them.

After entering the courtyard, he found the middle-aged woman who cooked and took care of the children and asked, "What's going on with those children outside?"

Mrs. Liao said, "Master Tiger, those children outside are all from our Slum Area. It's just that their families are too poor to afford food, so they gathered here, hoping to be taken in by you, Master Tiger!"

"Go call them all in!"

Chen Hu said with a calm expression, but inwardly he was happy; weren't these underlings delivered to his doorstep?

Soon, the more than ten children gathered outside were brought in.

"Greetings, Master Tiger!"

These children immediately saluted obediently.

"Do you want to be taken in by me?" Chen Hu asked directly.

"Master Tiger, please have mercy and take us in. We can help you with work!" The group of children immediately knelt before him and begged.

Ever since Chen Hu rented this courtyard and took in dozens of children, the news had gradually spread in the Slum Area.

At first, many people thought Chen Hu had bad intentions.

But some time had passed.

Chen Hu hadn't done anything to this group of children.

He even provided them with good food and drink every day.

For a time, many parents who couldn't afford to raise their children had ideas.

Someone deliberately let their child wait outside the courtyard, thinking they might be taken in by Chen Hu and thus not have to worry about food and clothing.

Then others followed suit.

Therefore, by today, the number of children running over to wait outside had increased to 17.

"If you are willing to agree to one condition, I can take you in!" Chen Hu said, looking at this group of children.

"As long as you are willing to acknowledge me as your Big Brother, I can take you in and let you not worry about food and clothing!"

"Greetings, Big Brother!"

The seventeen children did not hesitate at all and shouted without hesitation.

As the saying goes, children from poor families become independent early.

This group of children couldn't get enough to eat at home at all.

On the contrary, the group of children Chen Hu took in could eat their fill and had new clothes to wear.

They had long been envious.

Therefore, facing Chen Hu's condition, they didn't even think about it and agreed.

"Good!"

Chen Hu smiled with satisfaction, "I am very gratified that you can acknowledge me as Big Brother. As your Big Brother, I cannot treat you poorly. Mrs. Liao, go buy some meat and make meat buns to properly reward these little brothers of mine!"

"Yes, Master Tiger!"

"Mrs. Chen, you go and purchase some fabric, and then hire someone to make a new set of clothes for this group of little guys!"

After giving the silver, Mrs. Liao and Mrs. Chen hurried off to buy meat and fabric.

Chen Hu gathered all the children together.

He used the copy card to test their talent.

Most of these children were of Mortal Body, but three of them had Yellow Grade talent.

Directly teaching them Yellow Grade Cultivation Technique had certain risks.

After a while, he would go and purchase an unranked Cultivation Technique to teach them.

He dismissed this group of children.

Chen Hu brought up the lottery interface.

Sure enough, there was another Elementary lottery.

"System, use Elementary lottery!"

"Ding, Elementary lottery started!"

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining a martial arts cultivation card. The prize has been stored in the System space. Please claim it yourself, Host!"

With a thought, a white card appeared in Chen Hu's hand.

Corresponding information also appeared in his mind.

"Damn!"

After understanding the function of this card, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Because this card could yield cultivation, at least one day of cultivation, and at most 100 days of cultivation.

"Activate!"

Chen Hu held the martial arts cultivation card and ordered.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining 10 days of cultivation. Do you want to claim it?"

"Do not claim for now!"

The ten days of cultivation rewarded by the martial arts cultivation card were the results of his ten days of practice.

After Fusion of these 10 days of cultivation, Chen Hu felt that he might be able to directly Breakthrough to the Tendon Refining Realm.

Therefore, he did not choose to immediately perform Fusion.

Instead, he planned to wait until he returned to his own small courtyard at night to perform the Fusion.

Time flashed by.

It was evening.

Chen Hu had dinner outside and returned to his own small courtyard.

Thinking that he had just encountered an assassination last night, he entered his own cellar.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed in the cellar, he took out the martial arts cultivation card and claimed the cultivation.

Suddenly, a burst of Qi like a trickling stream fell into his Dantian and merged perfectly into his own Qi.

Soon, his Qi reached saturation.

And the trickling stream also stopped flowing in.

Instead, it began to refine his muscles.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Hu's muscles were refined to the extreme.

But the ten days of cultivation were still not exhausted.

It appeared directly in his Meridians and began to open up acupoints.

These acupoints were all hidden in the Meridians. Before opening the acupoints, the Qi flowed outside the acupoints.

Once an acupoint was opened, the Qi would enter from one end of the acupoint and flow out from the other end.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

The remaining cultivation directly opened up 52 acupoints. He only needed to open another 56 acupoints.

After cycling his cultivation once, he would officially step into the Tendon Refining Realm.
