Chapter 23

After changing in the forest, Han Zhao returned to Blackrock City.

He had gained a lot today, so he decided to eat something good.

After entering the city, he went straight to the Yejiang District and came to a small restaurant that specialized in selling haggis soup.

The shop wasn’t big, and the decorations were ordinary. However, the ingredients were real and the taste was very good. A bowl of haggis soup cost five copper coins, and the price was also affordable.

After his strength had increased greatly, his appetite also increased.

Although Han Zhao could afford a big restaurant now, there was no need.

This kind of life was not rich, but it was also very fulfilling.

Every cent he spent and every day of hard work would be reflected in the progress bar of the system interface and the changes in his body.

This feeling was very good.

“Han, you have a good appetite.” The owner of the small restaurant served another big bowl of haggis soup and a plate of pancakes.

Because Han Zhao had been coming to eat every month for the past year or so, they became cooked after a while.

There were four empty bowls in front of Han Zhao, and the dozens of fried dough cakes on the plate were also eaten by him.

“It’s alright, it’s alright.” Han Zhao placed the empty bowl in his hand at the side and drank the new bowl of haggis soup. He grabbed the pancake with his left hand and stuffed it into his mouth. As he ate, he muttered, “It’s mainly because Uncle Li’s haggis soup is delicious. It’s indeed the best in Blackrock City!”

“Of course.” The boss was all smiles when he heard that. He returned to the kitchen and filled a small bowl with haggis before placing it on Han Zhao’s table.

“Han, this is for you.”

“Thank you, Uncle Li.”

“Hey—you’re welcome.” The boss waved his hand.

After eating and drinking her fill, Han Zhao put down thirty copper coins. “Uncle Li, I’m leaving!”

“Alright, come again next time!”

“Of course!”

Han Zhao waved his hand and walked out of the door. He looked at his round stomach and patted it gently. “Digest it well. Don’t lose to the system!”

After taking a few steps, Han Zhao stopped in his tracks. He thought that this place was quite close to the martial arts school and planned to make a trip to the martial arts school to see if Zhao Yuantu was around. Then, he would arrange a time to spar with him.

After his Life Nurturing Technique’s Body Strengthening special effect was raised to Level 3, once the strength of his internal and external cultivation was unleashed, he felt that it would be like killing a chicken against ordinary Bone Tempering martial artists.

There was no need to play dirty. He could just crush them.

Only Zhou Han, who had reached the Perfected Bone Tempering Realm, could struggle against him.

A few days ago, after the Body Strengthening Special Effect was upgraded to Level 4, Han Zhao felt that his strength had increased a lot.

Therefore, he wanted to directly experience the strength of a Blood Tempering Realm martial artist and use Zhao Yuantu as a reference to see how strong he was.

Han Zhao had just turned around when he saw a man and two women walking toward him on the street. They were Xu Ling, Su Yun, and Zhang Tianwen.

‘Looks like they’re out for lunch.’

“Junior Brother Han!” Xu Ling waved at Han Zhao as soon as she saw him.

Han Zhao walked up and asked Xu Ling if Zhao Yuantu was at the martial arts school.

“Senior Sister Xu.” He smiled and greeted Xu Ling. Then, he looked at Su Yun and Zhang Tianwen.

“Senior Sister Su, Senior Brother Zhang.”

Su Yun nodded, but Zhang Tianwen ignored him.

Because of Zhao Yuantu, Zhang Tianwen hated Han Zhao.

A few days ago, when Han Zhao returned to the city, he specially asked around and found out that there was only one Zhang family in the city. He also understood which family the Flying Dragon Stockade was backed by.

In order to be safe, he decided to wait until he could destroy the Zhang family. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous.

“Junior Brother Han, why haven’t you come to the martial arts school recently? Teacher Lu has asked a few times.” Xu Ling asked doubtfully.

Han Zhao spread his hands helplessly. “I have no choice. I have to think of a way to earn money. Otherwise, I can’t maintain my cultivation progress.”

Xu Ling was a little embarrassed. She felt that she had asked a stupid question.

“I’ll return to the martial arts school in two days. By the way, is Eldest Senior Brother in the martial arts school?” Han Zhao changed the topic.

Xu Ling replied, “Eldest Senior Brother went to Yufeng City with our Xu family’s caravan. He will probably only be back in a few days. Is there something urgent that you want to talk to him about?”

“There’s nothing urgent. I’ll look for him when he comes back in a few days.” Han Zhao smiled.

“Alright then.” Xu Ling nodded slightly and suggested, “Junior Brother Han, we’re going to eat. Do you want to join us?”

“No, I just had five big bowls of haggis soup. There! That’s the one.”

Han Zhao pointed at the small restaurant behind him.

Zhang Tianwen chuckled. He opened his fan and fanned himself in a confident manner. He said, “Junior Sister Xu, Junior Brother Han already said that he’s thinking of a way to earn money. Do you still want him to eat at the Prosperous Moon Restaurant with us? Isn’t that forcing him?”

“Xu Ling, since Junior Brother Han has already eaten, let’s go,” Su Yun said. Although she did not have a good impression of Han Zhao, she could not stand Zhang Tianwen targeting Han Zhao like this. It was too ungentlemanly.

“It’s nothing, Junior Martial Brother Han. Let’s go, it’s my treat!” Xu Ling patted her flat chest.

“Next time.” Han Zhao would not stand on ceremony. If Zhang Tianwen was not around, he would be able to eat another meal.

If Zhang Tianwen continued to spout nonsense, he would probably not be able to help but ask for compensation for mental damage tonight.

“Is that haggis soup really that delicious?” Xu Ling changed the topic.

“I think it’s delicious, but I don’t know if you…” Just as Han Zhao was saying that she was not used to it, he remembered that she had eaten more than him at the snack street last time and paused.

“Let’s go! We’ll have haggis soup for lunch today,” Xu Ling said as she clenched her fists.
