Chapter 20

From thirty meters to ten meters, from one ball per second to five balls per second.

Lin Xiao continuously improved his control, with astonishing progress accompanied by countless hardships and sweat.

Apart from eating and sleeping, all his time was spent in the training ground, and the sweat he sweated every day would amount to at least two basins if collected.

Ninety-nine percent sweat plus one percent talent equals success.

The one percent talent had already merged with Lin Xiao, and with the current ninety-nine percent sweat, Lin Xiao was on the path to success.

In the training ground, Lin Xiao fired five balls per second from the launcher. Every second, Lin Xiao's movements changed, doing backflips, bending over, raising his buttocks, iron board bridges, splits, and various other actions.

During this time, Wu Zuoli came several times, seeing Lin Xiao training so recklessly, worried that his body couldn't take it, and tried to stop such life-risking training several times.

Seeing Wu Zuoli's concern, Lin Xiao felt warm inside and explained to her for a long time, saying he could handle it and that she didn't need to worry.

Wu Zuoli, seeing Lin Xiao's determination, had no choice but to tell him to rest if he couldn't take it anymore.

Lin Xiao silently remembered Wu Zuoli's concern in his heart.

Gradually, the micro-step was starting to get the hang of it. As soon as his eyes saw an attack, his body would automatically start to dodge.

If those two words didn't tremble.

Lin Xiao heard his phone ring, picked it up, and saw it was Ye Ding. After thinking for a moment, he answered.

"Little Brother Lin, I want to ask about that..." Ye Ding was actually a bit unsure about putting all his hopes on Lin Xiao. Although he believed Lin Xiao was extraordinary, the matter of the hundred-year-old ginseng was too important to be taken lightly.

Lin Xiao already knew why Ye Ding was calling and interrupted him bluntly, "Hehe, Brother Ye, you're getting anxious, right? My friend has already gone to gather the herbs. The ginseng is in the deep mountains, only marked for when it's needed, and it's expected to take ten to fifteen days. Brother Ye, please wait a bit longer."

"Little Brother Lin, it's not that I don't trust you, but this matter is too important, concerning the life of an elder in my family. I just need to confirm it again. Please bear with me," Ye Ding said.

"No problem, it's only natural. After all, we haven't known each other for long. It's understandable," Lin Xiao replied.

"Alright, since you say so, I'm a bit more at ease. I'll wait for your good news, Brother."

"Give it another week at most. My friend has already been gone for a week and should be coming back soon." Lin Xiao thought for a moment. Now that his micro-step was almost ready, he should set out. A week should be enough time.

"Alright, I'll wait for the good news. I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Little Brother Lin." Ye Ding, getting a specific time, sighed in relief.

After hanging up, Lin Xiao continued his training for the day. Even with five balls per second, he still got hit one or two times out of ten.

A day later, Lin Xiao finally left the training ground. The training ground could no longer improve him, so he decided to pack his things and prepare to set out for the Taiyuan Mountains.

He said goodbye to Wu Zuoli, telling her that he no longer needed the help and that the employees on leave could return to work. He also thanked Wu Zuoli for her assistance.

Wu Zuoli scolded Lin Xiao for not listening, telling him to be more careful and not to train so recklessly. She lectured him for an hour before letting him go, but Lin Xiao felt warm inside, enjoying the feeling of being cared for.

The next day, Lin Xiao, having learned from his experience, took a plane to Taiyuan. A few hours later, he arrived in Taiyuan from City H.

This time, he didn't waste any time and headed straight into the depths of the Taiyuan Mountains.

Unlike the first time, he wasn't curious about unfamiliar things but went directly to the marked location.

Thanks to the markers he left last time, he easily found the place with the giant meteorite.

Last time, he only reached the second layer and didn't dare to get too close. This time, with his improved strength, he wasn't too concerned about the circle of fierce beasts around the meteorite.

He moved slowly, controlling the sound of his footsteps, inching closer.

He was close, only twenty meters away from the outer circle of fierce beasts. He quietly climbed a tree about twenty meters tall.

Hiding in the tree, he observed carefully. The outer circle of fierce beasts consisted of hundreds of tigers, bears, leopards, wild dogs, and wolves, forming small groups. It would be very difficult to break through.

Fifty meters away from them were the two major bosses this time: the giant python and the giant bear.

The situation was the same as before, with the energy naturally attracting so many fierce beasts.

Wild beasts have a high sensitivity to energy, and their instincts tell them it's beneficial, so they gather around the meteorite.

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao, squatting in the tree, was amazed.

Last time, due to his insufficient strength, he didn't get this close. Now, he saw that behind the giant python, which was over twenty meters long, there were many other pythons, slightly smaller, coiled up a few dozen meters away.

This made the success rate of obtaining the giant meteorite even lower.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment. It seemed he needed to re-plan. This journey was more difficult than he imagined.

He couldn't understand why they could coexist without conflict, and even if they didn't fight, wouldn't they go hunting for food? They just stayed there.

The answer came quickly. In each group, there were some weaker members who dragged the food they caught and gave it to the fierce beasts gathered there.

Lin Xiao had hoped to wait for the beasts to leave before attacking, but this outcome left him frustrated.

Although he wasn't afraid with his current strength, there were too many of them. Too many ants can kill an elephant.

Moreover, the two bosses in the middle were of unknown strength, with too many unknowns. He needed to observe for a longer time.

Adjusting his mindset, he observed until nightfall, but there was no significant change. The giant bear in the middle was always sleeping, while the giant python went out once, returning with a much larger girth, coiling up next to the meteorite to digest.

Seeing no other gains, Lin Xiao decided to set up a tent and rest near the tree.

Lying in his sleeping bag, he couldn't sleep, calculating how to obtain this large piece of meat. It would be enough to satisfy him, and no matter what, he had to take a chance. Time was short, and he didn't have much time to search. Even if he found it, whether he could obtain it was another question.

The roar of tigers, the howl of wolves, the bark of dogs, and the growl of bears disrupted the quiet morning. Lin Xiao, who had slept late the previous night, was startled awake.

He quickly packed up his tent and sleeping bag and went to the place where he observed the meteorite yesterday.

Lin Xiao was stunned by the scene in front of him.

He stammered, pointing at the scene, "This... this... this..."
