The old man was now completely certain that the claw marks left on the tree last night were caused by it. It seemed that the big yellow dog in front of him had already reached the realm of skin tempering. A month ago, it was still a stray dog in dire straits. How long had it been before it reached the Skin Toughening Realm? It was unbelievable. This dog must have had some fortuitous encounter and eaten some great tonic. Otherwise, its Vitality would not have increased so quickly.
Being poor in literature and rich in martial arts was not just a talk. Practicing boxing was a physical activity and consumed the most energy. If one did not have money, they would not be able to eat well, and their nutrition would not be able to keep up. They could only use up the Vitality in their bodies. It was fine to practice some light fist techniques like this, but it was impossible to practice fierce martial arts. In the end, it would definitely hurt the body because of the loss of qi and blood.
Many people who practiced the Iron Palm died of coughing up blood before they were fifty years old because they did not have the money to buy good tonics to replenish their blood essence. In the end, they injured their hearts and lungs.
He really guessed that Xu Lei had been jumping into the lake to catch fish, turtles, shrimps, and crabs every day to eat. Under the nourishment, his Qi and blood were naturally vigorous, which was why he had progressed so quickly.
The old man was even more confused about the murderous aura that the yellow dog carried. In a peaceful and prosperous world, let alone animals, it was very rare for people to carry murderous aura. The most common one was the butcher at the meat stall. This kind of person slaughtered pigs and sheep every day. The white knife went in and the red knife came out. After a long time, it naturally carried a murderous aura.
Ordinary people would feel weaker and would not be able to sense this killing intent. However, martial artists were different. After reaching the realm of Tendon Tempering, they were more sensitive to the surrounding aura.
In fact, compared to humans, animals had more obvious senses. In the late 1980s, the old man went to the countryside of Qiannan for a period of time to do research. He met a butcher there. Although this person was not a martial artist, every time he approached the cowshed of the production team, the livestock raised inside would tremble and not eat grass for several days.
When he saw the big yellow dog the day before yesterday, it didn't have any killing intent. It had changed so much after only one day. What exactly happened in between?
After the old man retired, he usually did not interact with outsiders, so the news around him was much slower. If he asked around a little, he would know about the major events that had happened in the city these two days. Naturally, he could guess where Xu Lei's murderous aura came from.
Looking at the murderous aura released by the big dog in front of him, it was already gradually showing the aura of a ferocious beast. If he did not restrain it, when the ferocious aura counterattacked his mind, he would lose his rationality and eventually escape the fate of being hunted.
The Crouching Tiger Fist that the old man had been practicing while doing research in the countryside had encountered a bottleneck. He had specially asked an old hunter if there were still South China tigers in the area, hoping to observe the tiger form to break through the realm.
The result was very regrettable. The locals had not seen a South China tiger for more than ten years. In the end, the old hunter talked about his experience in killing a South China tiger.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the country was at its peak in eliminating the "four pests". At that time, the instructions of the Ministry of Forests classified South China tigers, bears, leopards, wolves, and other animals as pests, and called on hunters in the mountainous areas to go all out to kill them.

The place where he conducted his research had also organized a tiger hunting team. The militia and hunters worked together to hunt wild beasts in the mountains. At that time, the hunting team was armed with modern weapons. As they went, the wild beasts either fled or were killed.
However, once they encountered a South China tiger that had turned into a ferocious beast. An average South China tiger was less than two meters long from head to tail and weighed no more than four to five hundred pounds.
However, the South China Tiger was different. It was nearly four meters long and weighed more than 700 pounds. More than half of the hunting team was killed in a single move. After that, the tiger rushed down the mountain and bit dozens of local people to death. The local government was shocked and specially mobilized the army to capture it. In the end, it cost a lot to kill it.
When the old hunter talked about that experience, his tone was still filled with fear. He said that he would never forget it in his life.
Although the dog in front of him could not be compared to the South China Vicious Tiger, it was more dangerous in a big city. Once it became vicious, it would be a disaster. It was best to nip this possibility in the bud.
However…the old man was a little hesitant. The action that the yellow dog used when it jumped back was very similar to the " Tiger Shocking Wind " of the Crouching Tiger Fist. Combined with the scratch marks left on the big tree, he could think that this big dog should have some intelligence. It was very likely that it secretly imitated it when it watched his granddaughter practice.
Animals had intelligence, which most people might think was nonsense. The old man's cultivation had reached the level of being able to see through one's nature, so he was more sensitive to the things around him than ordinary people. From the reaction of the animals 'blood and Qi, it could be seen that they did not live in ignorance and chaos. On the contrary, they all had a certain level of intelligence.
There was an old saying,"All things are born from goodness, and those who obtain it will naturally have a spiritual connection. They will understand the original body, and everything will be understood." Foxes could become immortals, turtles and snakes could become gods. These were all recorded in Buddhism.
He could be considered half a master to this dog. The dog in front of him had not lost its mind. It was better to see what kind of good fortune it had. It would not be too late to kill it when that day came.
Xu Lei didn't know what the old man was thinking, but he could feel that although the old man was smiling, his killing intent hadn't diminished. He could attack again at any time.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that he had been rash. He should not have left a mark on the poplar tree last night. He bent his body slightly, his tail drooping to the ground, and continued to maintain an attacking posture. He knew that he had no way to fight back in front of the old man, but he couldn't just stand there and let the old man kill him with one punch.
The weather was hot at the end of July. Before the sun came out at five or six in the morning, the ground was already like a steamer, making people sweat. At this moment, Xu Lei felt a chill down his spine.
"Why did you try it out for no reason? Look at how scared it is.”The young girl glared at her grandfather in dissatisfaction, then squatted down and stroked the big yellow dog's head.
Sun Yanyu didn't like these stray dogs in the past. They would always have an unpleasant smell of sweat on their bodies in the summer. However, the big yellow dog in front of him was different. It was clean all over and didn't even have a fishy smell in its mouth. It gave people a very comfortable feeling.
Under the girl's caress, Xu Lei's stiff body gradually softened, and the wariness in his eyes also quietly faded.
"Haha!" The old man laughed dryly and looked away. It seemed that he wasn't going to find trouble with the big yellow dog for the time being.
" Phew." Xu Lei took a light breath and finally calmed down.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the old man had deliberately added a lot of knowledge on the Skin Toughening level when he taught his granddaughter boxing. There were even a few times when he stretched out his hand to demonstrate. The girl had practiced for nearly two months and had just mastered the stance of the Crouching Tiger Fist. It was far from skin tempering, so she naturally did not need it.
Sensing that the old man had the intention to teach him, Xu Lei naturally took note of it.
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. In addition, Xue Zhongming's death was not deliberately covered up, so it soon caused a small earthquake in the city. Many people secretly clapped their hands in joy, saying that this person had suffered retribution for doing so many bad things. It was not a secret that Xue Zhongming was killed by a big yellow dog in the circle of noble children, but it revealed something strange inside and outside.
It was originally a simple matter, but the answers were naturally different from different perspectives. The Xue family first thought that their enemy was taking revenge. After all, the Red Sun Hotel was their territory. The back door was made of alloy steel. Without a password, it could not be opened, and few people knew the password. How could a big yellow dog sneak into the building without any intelligence?
The Xue family had been growing in the past few years, like a giant leech firmly entrenched in the province, and had offended many people. Although the opponent would not usually use such an underhanded method, he still had to be on guard. For a moment, the bodyguards around the Xue family's children changed.
Seeing the abnormal phenomenon of the Xue family, other forces also moved, one after another urging their children to not go out and cause trouble.
After receiving the warning from the family, the noble children had been keeping a low profile recently. No one ran to the south of the city to race anymore.
As the cause of the earthquake, Xu Lei's life returned to its previous state. For the next few days, he practiced his stance at night and rested in his nest in the morning. After lunch, he went swimming in the lake to catch fish.
During this period of time, his body had grown rapidly, and his appetite had also increased day by day. The originally high bowl of food was no longer enough to eat. Every time Aunt Xu cooked, she would deliberately make more, but he would finish them all.
Xu Lei's current body was like a bottomless pit that could not be filled no matter how hard he tried.
After his previous experience in the deep hole at the bottom of the lake, Xu Lei naturally knew that the big fish in the hole could threaten him. However, he was very curious and had always wanted to find out where this deep hole led to. Therefore, he knew that there was danger, but he dived down happily.
This black hole was indeed a blessed land. Not only were there a large number of aquatic creatures inside, but they were also huge in size. Therefore, Xu Lei always had a harvest. Father Xu and Mother Xu were also enjoying themselves. Mother Xu's originally white hair had actually returned to black.
Xu Lei was leisurely, but Mu Changqing was filled with anger. That day, he was reprimanded by the bureau chief in front of everyone.
For this reason, he put in a lot of effort and continued to search for clues. He was determined to find this beast.
In fact, it didn't take much effort to find Xu Lei. When he returned home at night, he took off his shoes and leaned on the sofa with a droopy face to watch TV.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Don't tell me you went out behind Sister-in-law's back again and got scolded by Dad?”Not long after, Mu Changqing's younger sister, Mu Siyu, who was in high school, also walked into the house. She saw her brother's sad face and immediately ran up to ask.
" I'm thinking about the case. Go away." Mu Changqing knew his little sister's inquisitive personality, so he didn't give him a chance to ask and directly chased her away.
"What case is it? Tell me about it.”As expected, Mu Siyu began to ask him questions and shook his arm vigorously.
"Did you know that Xue Zhongming was killed last night?”Mu Changqing had a headache from her pestering, so he had no choice but to briefly describe the matter.
"It's true. That scumbag is finally dead.”The moment Mu Siyu heard the news, she started cheering. When she saw that her brother's expression wasn't right, she swallowed her tongue and asked,"" Is that big yellow dog really that powerful? It managed to escape from your encirclement. You police are really stupid. You're all good-for-nothings…"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and go back to do your homework.”Mu Changqing shouted angrily, grabbed the sofa cushion and threw it at her, but the girl nimbly dodged it.
"Stop, brother…you said that the big yellow dog disappeared at the edge of the Golden Lake?”Mu Siyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She recalled a video she had seen online a month ago.
"Yeah, why? You don't know any clues, do you?”Mu Changqing asked when he saw his sister's eyes flashing.
"I might really know, but it depends on how someone says it.”Mu Siyu rubbed her fingers, looking like a moneygrubber.
" Can't you just buy whatever you want?" Mu Changqing shook his head helplessly and threw his wallet on the sofa.
"We should have done this a long time ago. I know where to find that big yellow dog. Come with me to watch the video online.”Mu Siyu grabbed her brother and ran upstairs.
