Rescue

"Shit, i actually forgot that i was here to buy rice"

"I'll go later, now it's the perfect time to train with the Tempered Body Record!"

...

After half an hour

"I finally reached the peak of this stage, a little more of training and i could have advanced but now the time for the Tempered Body Record has passed."

"I guess i'll go later home and train in the incense, now it's time to buy rice!"

"Roarrr..."

"Guess, i should hurry!" He said while his stomach was constantly roaring.

So he left the forest and headed to his slave's rice shop.

Once there, he entered the shop and saw Mr He, his slave's husband, and Mei Ling crying.

"What happened, Uncle He, Aunty Mei?" He asked as he was worried about his slave.

"Young men... you can do nothing about it..." said Mr. He while crying.

"Nie Yong... you are a cultivator... right?" Said Mei Ling with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, Ma'am, i am! So please tell me what happened" he asked seriously worried.

"Our Daughter... she... she... was kidnapped by some thugs... please help us, please!" She said while crying even more hardly.

"I'll do it! But first explain how did this happen" Nie Yong said.

She then explained that the day before, a young man named Su Mu tried to scam them into thinking that he was a hero because he took a fancy to their daughter.

His plan was beating some thughs that were threatening the shop according to his plan.

The thughs were paid by him, but his plan was stopped by a young man called Yang Kai and so he felt shamed and went away.

She then continued to explain that it wasn't Su Mu that kidnapped his daughter but the thughs that he hired.

"So this is what happened... Do you perhaps have something that could help me find them, Ma'am?" Nie Yong asked.

"Yes, they have left a message that said that we have to meet them alone this night on the West Side of the Black Wind Forest and to bright 200 silver taels of we wanted our daughter again, which we don't have!

"Don't you worry Ma'am, i'll save her!"

"Thank you, hero!" The both of them shouted with gratitude from the bottom of their heart.

Nie Yong then left the shop and headed to his house "Since i don't have anything to do until midnight, let's train!"

...

After the entire day.

[The host has reached the Peak of Tempered Body 3rd Stage!]

[The host has acquired the Martial Skill Kung Fu lv. 12!]

[The host combat power has risen to Peak Tempered Body 8th Stage!]

"This training was really helpful and this heavenly talent made me progress so much in Kung Fu in so little time"

"Now, it's time to be a hero!" He said while strengthening his fist.

...

He reached the West Side of the Black Wind Forest and while approaching to the exact location that they told him, he started hearing voices.

It was the voices of the two thughs that the day before threatened the rice shop.

He reconized them because they were exactly like Uncle He described, but near him there was a young beautiful girl, that was tied, and an unkown man.

"So that should be He Xue, but who is that man?" Nie Yong was asking himself, while being distracted bu He Xue's beauty.

"Let me go, you stupid bitches! Assholes! Pussies! Pieces of Shi-" He xue, that had a bery aggressive character, was shouting this before being interrupted by a slap of one of the two thughs.

"Shut up a little bit! You stupid bit-" The thugh that slapped her was saying, but was interrupted because he got himself a hole in his heart.

It was Nie Yong that swiftly got behind him and with his new strength made a hole in his chest with only his hand.

"Brother!" The other thugh was shouting as he approach the other thugh and held his dead corpse with his hands.

When the other thugh approached, Nie Yong that was right next to him, throw him a kick to the thugh's head, making the head fly away.

Then Nie Yong, tha was covered in blood, shouted to He Xue to run.

Now he was face to face with the last thugh.

"Well, what do we have here? A little 3rd Stage Tempered Body acting like a hero against two thughs at the 1st Stage! Wow, truly heroic!" Said the so called Fang while laughing.

"But what does this little hero gonna do against me, a cultivator of the 8th Stage Tempered Body, hahaha" The ugly Fang continued to say while evily laughing.

Then Fang immediately rushed to Nie Yong with an incredible speed and after reaching Nie Yong, he throw a punch to him, which was blocked by Nie Yong, thanks to his newly learned Kung Fu's moves, that were much more powerful than his opponent's.

His Kung Fu's move combined with his Special Physique, that made is body much stronger than average, made him barely conquer the battle.

"You're pretty good! I didn't think i would have to use my best moves against you though!" He said while flames were appearing on his hands.

"Scorching Arts" he shouted while dashing to Nie Yong.

Fang then throwed a flaming punch with all his strength and Yang Qi, throwing Nie Yong far away, hitting a tree.

"Ah... so strong! But wait it doesn't hurt so much, maybe it's the effect of the Golden Skeleton! And i did not even get burned! So, it's time to counterattack!"

"Hahaha, You thought you could win against me, you are a funny one, sorry, you were!" Fang said while thinking that Nie Yong was dead.

Then suddendly from the smoke that his scorching art caused by burning the grass, Nie Yong appeared and threw a punch right into Fang's face.

Fang wasn't able to avoid it due to the surprise, from the fact that he was tired and didn't have any Qi after using the Scorching Arts and so he took the strong punch straight in his face.

The punch was so powerful that Fang was knocked out.

"I beat him! I did-" He screamed in enjoy before being interrupted by the system!"

[Do you wish to copy Fang Mo's abilities?]

"Yes!" Nie Yong immediately replied.

[Copying in progress...]

[The Copy has been successfull!]

[You have acquired the Martial Skill Scorching Arts!]

[You have acquired the secret art Yang Heart Secret Art!]

[The Secrets Arts True Yang Secret Art and Yang Heart Secret Art are compatible. Does the host wish to merge them?]

"Merge? Sure... why... not" He said before falling due to the injuries that Fang Mo caused him.

The last thing he saw before closing his eyes and losing consciousness was a screen and a beautiful young girl coming towards him.

...

...

[The Merging has been successfull]

This was my first battle, so sorry if it wasn't exactly one of the best.

And another thing, the image of He Xue is Yang Xue, Yang Kai's little sister.

I chose her picture because i don't think that the marriage of Yang Kai's parents will continue for long, maybe due to someone...
