22 Uninvited guests

Listening to the words from this familiar voice he did not seem that relaxed at all as this is one of the thugs he beat up and it seems like they found this place. 

"What are they doing here this late in the evening?" As he asked this, his attention was mainly focused on the men behind them seemingly carrying some boxes. Instead of panicking, he just observed the group of people silently.

He was sure this was not the attitude of those wanting to get payback for being beaten up, besides, at that time he had already hidden his face.  The chances of being recognized were close to none, and seeing the boxes he somehow relaxed slightly. He continued to check their details clearly such as facial expressions. 

The argument at the gate was initiated and each of the people seemed to have something they wanted to say but in the end, even Wang couldn't help but want to curse.

This group reminded him of a bunch of old women in a fish market, each time one speaks the others speak even more. Instead of buying it seems more like a competition for those with sharp tongues. But he could still tolerate it as he was more curious as to what they were up to and the fact that they had the courage to come to this place at such a time. 

  In the same way, he was even more puzzled as to why the group brought the boxes with them, and Ago beside him that was standing like a servant looked at them in a confused manner and then observed Wang who was acting like this had nothing to do with him.

"Don't look at me like that! It's not like I am the one that invited them to share my drink, when did I become so foolish as to give away something precious for a loss? I'm not suffering from some mental issues yet."

He did not even bother with the group, as they seemed to lack the guts to sneak in from their actions at the main gate. If one is sneaking in then the best way is to avoid even accessing the main gate and the boxes they were carrying seemed more of a burden than anything. 

Shifting his attention from the situation outside, he looked at Ago that seemed to have regained that glow in his eyes, and currently could be said to be alive. But his face was expressionless. He sighed," You eventually are willing to hang around with me when those two have left home. By the way how about our meals from now on?" 

This was a serious thing he had not considered before and now realizing that only the two of them were left alone he pointed out his biggest concern instantly.

This was by overlooking those that seemed to be out to cause trouble. This was also the same way Ago was thinking but seeing that Wang did not pay them any attention he also could only go along with the situation. In the house indeed only the two of them were around and the supplies will be brought that was a sure thing but he realized the person next to him was also seemingly unaware of their plight.

Turning his head toward the group below he decided to go back and rest, as early in the morning, he had plans for his training schedule undergoing some changes. He was going to give most attention to the technique that was being improved faster, or ahead of the rest in level. 

He could see that the state of things in this city is not as simple as he thought, in fact without Ruruo's assistance, the two might have found it hard to enter this city let alone survive in it. With such a thought he went back to the room and closed his eyes on the bed. Wang put away all their thoughts after thinking about the people that were standing at the gate, only to come to the conclusion that their visit probably was for Ruruo.

In that way, he did not try to meddle in these issues, as it is not something he is willing to play along with all this time. He knew that he could barely deal with the ones outside the gate so instead of wasting time trying to open the gate for them, it was more bothersome especially when he assumed this group had come to bother him about someone that had already left.

"Well, ignore that my head is indeed feeling some drowsiness at the time so it is best to just sleep and everything else can it can be sorted out the next day." As he thought of this the torch in the room was extinguished.

When he opened his eyes in the morning he discovered it was very cold for some reason, going out the first thing he saw was the snow falling. Wang could feel the cold air when the door was opened and the snow-white courtyard seemed very beautiful at this moment. It was also the first time he had experienced snowfall in this world. But the admiration only lasted for a moment, as he had to go out and practice in this cold environment. That feeling seemed like unwillingness but he knew in this world having a day of peace was already good enough and he should take advantage of it.

"After this training, my body will be very hungry and as such, it is better to visit the kitchen first." After moving towards the kitchen and realizing that someone else was in charge he went on to exercise. He had not expected that Ago had already woken up even earlier than him. And he thought the food he made was still edible so he went to the area of practice. 

" Bang Bang bang bang!"

He kept practicing two fist techniques consecutively, and the area around him was no longer as cold and one could see steam coming from the surface of his body. 

With the passage of time and the interchanging of the boxing arts he was practicing, his body temperature seemed to rise and even his face was flushed in the end. At the same time, he took out some medical materials and put them in his mouth, the energy was less compared to when he takes medical baths with it but at the moment he was interested in developing fast.

He practiced for close to two hours before going back and setting up a medical bath that he sat in, and relaxed. His aching and tired muscles seemed to start to recover slowly with the medical power slowly flowing through his bones and muscles, and eventually, he heard something like a roar in his body.

At this time the medical power in the huge tab was being absorbed faster by his body that had taken another step into the blood-forging realm. In this way, the level White Tiger Fist seemed to have entered the fifth level. But the Biyun fist was still at level four.

The heat in his body was also increasing as well as his physical fitness, and he was delighted. At this point, he had thought that the White Tiger Fist would have reached perfection but who would have thought it actually still was improving slightly on the fifth level?  Though the improvement was minimal, it was still there as it had changed by 0.22. In the way he could observe things, he clearly felt that his fist was way more overpowered compared to before and the improvement in strength might perhaps continue for this period so he should take advantage of it.

He was not far from the level of grandmaster being talked about by almost everyone, but he knew that was just some illusion since every realm he has stepped in seemed very different from this level onwards. 

After breakfast, he went ahead to test his strength, by picking up some stones arranged in the practice area weighing close to three hundred kilograms. The amount of force he applied was more than what he could utilize in the past just to shake the stone. In this way, he could be sure that the changes that have happened to his body from the step up in the realm are enormous. 

"My strength has increased by more than five times, this can be attributed to the technique I practiced. In that way, it seems that technique really matters more than I thought. In that case with the Biyun fist taken to the fifth level perhaps then some changes could also be expected."

He could indeed feel the blood in his body seemed to have undergone some change and it was still happening. In this level, blood Qi seems to be accumulating and even methods of manipulating it came into play. In that case, he was very happy knowing that he would be able to improve his strength in this stage more and that the other new and unique skills he learns at this level might perhaps be very useful.

On the same day at night, blood was dripping on a figure covering the face, he seemed to have blood trails leading to Ruruo's residence. After that, the trail stopped. It did not take long for some men to approach, looking at it they followed in.
