A warm current surged into his muscles, and Li Minghong felt his body's strength gradually become full.
Soon, the warm current disappeared.
Li Minghong raised his hand and made two grasping motions in the air.
"This feeling of physical enhancement is really great."
His strength had increased by about 50% compared to before.
"Continue!"
[Dungeon Activated]
Soon, he continued to clear the remaining two dungeons using the same method.
[Successfully killed young Xiao Wu, dropped spirit power increase.]
[Successfully killed young Xiao Wu, dropped physical enhancement.]
Soon, the enhancements were complete.
His spirit power had increased to rank seven, and his physical fitness had directly doubled compared to before unlocking the young Xiao Wu dungeon.
"The current Xiao Wu doesn't have anything else that can drop."
Li Minghong thought to himself, closing his eyes and experiencing the changes in his physical fitness.
The current Xiao Wu only seemed to have useful things like soft skills, spirit power, and physical fitness.
As for whether spirit rings and Spirit Bones would drop, Li Minghong felt that the system wouldn't be so kind.
Compared to him, Tang San was simply a treasure; almost all the opportunities in the original work were on him!
'What a pity, what a pity, I'll probably be stuck on that young Tang San for the next few years. I should focus on cultivating for now.'
Without further thought, Li Minghong opened his eyes and began circulating Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Because he had seen Li Minghong before, Tang San paid a few more glances to him.
'He's really diligent. He's still cultivating late at night. He just fell asleep while cultivating, and now he's awake and continuing to cultivate. But it's not very useful, after all, in this World, talent is very important.'
Tang San secretly shook his head. He mistakenly thought that the period when Li Minghong had just entered the dungeon and was unconscious meant that Li Minghong had fallen asleep.
The night passed without a word.
Only a dark figure outside the window stood on a tree branch, quietly watching this scene.
"Why did this kid's physical fitness and spirit power both break through after he just fell asleep and woke up?"
Looking closely, that person was none other than Tang Hao.
"Moreover, he has a faint scent of Ah Yin on him, just like Little San."
The bright moonlight shone through the window onto Li Minghong's face. The soft light, combined with his gentle features, made Tang Hao momentarily stunned.
"He looks so much like her, too much like her. Ah Yin, is this child…ours?"
Tang Hao's eyes revealed a hint of sorrow. He wasn't sure, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
"Have you still not forgiven me for the mistakes I made back then, Ah Yin?"
Leaning against the tree trunk, Tang Hao looked up at the sky. Above the bright full moon, Ah Yin's face seemed to slowly emerge, but another woman's face also slowly appeared.
"No!"
Tang Hao quickly shook his head, got up, and flew away. He needed to investigate Li Minghong's identity.
The next day.
Ever since his Purple Demon Eye broke through to the Observation realm, Li Minghong's mental force had greatly increased, allowing him to feel refreshed after only six hours of sleep each day.
He woke up early, deliberately avoided Tang San, found a secluded spot, and sat down quietly, waiting for the sun to rise.
A few minutes later, the sun began to rise.
A misty purple aura appeared, and Li Minghong circulated Purple Demon Eye to absorb it.
The time for cultivating Purple Demon Eye each morning was very short; the purple aura only existed for one or two minutes.
After absorption was complete, he began to jog around Notting Academy for his most basic physical exercise.
Although he had the dungeon space, it didn't mean he didn't need to work hard.
He met Tang San along the way and nodded slightly, greeting him.
'Sigh, what a pity.'
Tang San shook his head again after seeing Li Minghong.
Li Minghong ran while thinking about his next plans.
"I remember in the original work, Tang San seemed to have joined the blacksmith shop around this time."
He casually wiped the sweat rolling down his forehead and thought, "If I also join the blacksmith shop, can I secretly learn Tang San's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method?"
Thinking of this, Li Minghong's eyes lit up.
He might not need the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method right now, but such an advanced force exertion technique would always be useful once learned.
What's more, what if the dungeon space dropped a Clear Sky Hammer Spirit one day?
Li Minghong couldn't help but grin foolishly at the thought.
"It's decided then! I'll work part-time at the blacksmith shop!"
Soon, the morning passed like this.
It was the scorching summer, the hottest dog days.
After walking on the street for a while, he felt parched and was constantly sweating, his shirt already soaked at the chest.
"On such a hot day, I really want to stay in the Extreme North Land!"
On a street in Nuoding City, a wave of heat immediately hit him as he arrived.
This street was full of blacksmith shops. Looking inside through the open doors, he saw tall, burly strong men.
Li Minghong didn't know which one was Tang San's employer.
But he wasn't in a hurry. Based on his usual observation of Tang San's schedule in the dormitory, at this time, walking at a normal pace, Tang San would soon arrive on this street.
Sure enough, after a while, Tang San arrived.
Tang San saw Li Minghong lingering there from a distance, paused slightly, and walked forward.
"Minghong? Why are you here?"
Hearing Tang San's voice, Li Minghong's eyes subtly brightened, then quickly returned to normal.
"Tang San? I came here to find a part-time job." Li Minghong scratched his head and gave a simple, honest smile.
Upon hearing Li Minghong call him directly by his name, Tang San's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure. After all, the other work-study students usually called him Brother San!
But he didn't show too much emotion on his face and directly said, "It's hard to find work here. Blacksmithing requires a lot of strength."
"It's fine, I think I'm quite strong. Tang San, have you already found a job here?"
Li Minghong asked, feigning ignorance. Seeing Tang San nod, he continued.
"Can you take me to the place where you work to try?"
Hearing this, Tang San was a bit disdainful, but he prided himself on being a gentleman, so he still chose to help Li Minghong.
"Come with me. Whether you can get hired depends on yourself."
Clang!
Clang!
Li Minghong heard the rhythmic, continuous sounds of hammering from the entrance of the blacksmith shop.
Tang San pushed the door open and entered.
"Stone Uncle! I brought a friend. He also wants to work part-time at the blacksmith shop!"
Tang San walked over to a dark-skinned, honest-looking strong man.
Stone Uncle heard Tang San's words but didn't stop immediately, choosing to finish his current task first.
After all, once hammering began, it couldn't be easily stopped.
After a while, he finished his work. Stone Uncle picked up a towel hanging on a nearby rack and wiped the sweat from his face.
Then he looked at Li Minghong and grinned, "Oh, look who it is, a pretty boy?"
Stone Uncle's voice was mostly teasing, so Li Minghong wasn't angry. Instead, he stepped forward.
"Uncle, I want to join your blacksmith shop."
Hearing this, Stone Uncle walked to a rack with many forging hammers and picked up an eighty-pound iron hammer.
"Lift it with one arm and hit this iron block."
Li Minghong exerted a little force and found that the forging hammer wasn't as heavy as he imagined.
Then he directly swung it and smashed it down onto the iron block.
Clang!
Sparks flew, and a hole was directly smashed into the top of the iron block.
Seeing this, Stone Uncle and the others were only slightly surprised, after all, they had Tang San as a precedent.
Tang San was also a bit surprised. He hadn't expected Li Minghong, who only had rank one innate spirit power, to be so strong.
"Your strength is very good, but you probably don't know forging techniques, right? How about this, you can come to my shop as a forging apprentice for now, one silver coin a month, and food provided. When we're hammering, you can help out and learn more. When your skills are good enough, I'll make you a full-time worker. How does that sound?"
Hearing Stone Uncle's words, Li Minghong was very satisfied.
One silver coin was higher than many people's monthly wages, so he quickly agreed.
"When do you want to start working?"
"This afternoon!"
