Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Chapter 89: The Brave Beheading of the Tiger! Seeking a Marriage Alliance?_3

Everyone had different thoughts, knowing that Er Gou was provoked by Gu Sheng and decided to risk it all in a gamble.

Gu Sheng proceeded forward.

Occasionally, he drew shocked and envious gazes. Everyone speculated whether Gu Sheng had already become a Martial Artist. Gu Sheng only smiled without responding. After all, no one would force him to prove it. Once he breaks through to the Jade Skin Realm as a Martial Artist in a few days, he wouldn’t have to worry about revealing any flaws.

Anyway, in the eyes of the Gu’s Manor higher-ups, he was considered close to becoming a Martial Artist.

Gu Sheng understood the thoughts of the clan elders of the Gu family. As long as the strength he displayed remained within a controllable range, even if he wasn’t entirely devoted, the clan elders would accept it. At most, they would withhold resources to support his continued growth.

A Stone Skin Realm marksman was still more advantageous than disadvantageous to Gu’s Manor.

Gu Sheng avoided crowded places and quickly returned home.

He took out a short blade and began processing the corpse.

Tiger skin, tiger bones, tiger blood, tiger meat, tiger penis, tiger tail...

By the time Gu Sheng finished handling everything, it was already dark.

Looking at the haul piled high before him, Gu Sheng felt content. Hunting down a fierce tiger yielded almost as much as an entire year’s worth of harvest in normal times!

Gu Sheng hid the spoils, then adjusted his appearance to mimic injuries.

As expected.

Not long after, Gu Erniu came running over first, followed by Zhang Ze and the rest.

"Asheng! I heard you caught a big tiger?"

Seeing their expectant eyes, Gu Sheng only smiled, nodded, and modified the story a little before recounting the process to them. The tale left them breathless and repeatedly amazed.

Unable to hold back, Zhang Ze remarked:

"Even a lame tiger isn’t something ordinary people can handle. Asheng, you’ve silently become a Martial Artist and didn’t even share how it feels. What is being a Martial Artist like?"

Gu Erniu also smiled lightly at Gu Sheng, knowing his low-profile demeanor well.

Gu Sheng laughed heartily:

"Once my injuries heal, I’ll show you all. Killing that tiger wasn’t easy."

Noticing Gu Sheng’s wounds and bandages, the group wisely refrained from pressing further. A young Martial Artist, especially a marksman, wasn’t someone they dared offend lightly unless they were asking for trouble.

The hunters’ respect for him deepened.

Gu Sheng’s status became something entirely different in their eyes—a Martial Artist and marksman was far more formidable than the average Martial Artist.

"Take care, Asheng. We’ll gather again another day."

The group left one by one, with Gu Erniu staying behind a bit longer to offer a few more words of concern. In return, Gu Sheng handed him some tiger meat and tiger bones to bring back and strengthen Gu Wan’s health.

As the courtyard fell quiet again, Gu Sheng shook his head with a smile.

He pondered for a while before deciding to focus on breaking through to the Jade Skin Realm in the coming days.

The higher-ups of Gu’s Manor would likely have their responses ready upon learning that he had become a Martial Artist.
