After taking the blood pill, the dog fell asleep.
“Okay, guys, let’s give it some rest. That will be the end of our stream, and it’s time for me to go offline for now. I’ll see you guys tomorrow,” Su Yu said to his viewers.
He then turned off the stream, leaving his viewers whining for more.
After that, Su Yu moved the dog to the living room for a more comfortable resting spot. He then went to have dinner.
After dinner and a quick wash-up, Su Yu hopped onto his bed and checked his character status in the system.

…
After browsing for some time, Su Yu decided to buy the above-mentioned items.
Buying all the selected items cost him 340,000 Popularity.
He extracted all of the items after the purchase.
The knowledge of [Taichi Fist], [Torrential Palm], [Freezing Technique], and [Fireball Technique] were transferred to his mind.
Su Yu easily absorbed and mastered all of the knowledge.
As for [Dragon Blood], it appeared as a bottle in front of Su Yu. The bottle was almost the size of a mineral water bottle, and inside it was gooey red liquid.
Su Yu took the bottle for a closer look.
“So, this is Dragon Blood? It doesn’t look that special.”
He then twisted the cap open, and the moment it opened, a heavy fishy stench assaulted his nostrils.
Su Yu found it repulsive at first but got used to the smell soon after.
According to the system description, the blood was meant for topical use, not oral. All he needed to do was apply the blood on his skin.
He poured a little on his hand and applied it on his arm but did not feel anything special after applying the blood. It only felt a little chilly.
Then, Su Yu removed his clothes and applied the [Dragon Blood] all over his body. The bottle of blood was just enough to cover his entire body.
According to the system description, the effect would only come into play after 8 hours. In other words, he would see the effect after a night’s sleep.
In order to keep his bed clean, Su Yu had to spend the night on the chair instead. He then sat down and closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, on the internet, things were getting a lot more interesting.
Some of Su Yu’s viewers took his stream and made a compilation video out of it. The compilation video was then posted on all the other different video-streaming platforms, like Tiktok, Kuaishou, Bilibili, Tencent Video, Youku, and so on.
The video was like a rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand ripples on the surface upon impact.
In less than three hours, the compilation video went viral. It received more than 3 million likes, 960,000 comments, and 1.4 million shares!
“Holy sh*t! Am I seeing this right? Is everything in the video real? Is this guy that strong?”
“Is it some compilation from some drama series? Is this another one of those business promotion accounts?”
“Honestly, I believed it at first, but when I saw the guy shoot the arrow at a wild boar and punch the tiger, I laughed. If this is real, I’ll eat everything in my toilet bowl.”
“It’s real! I saw the stream today! The guy is a streamer in Lion Fang. His name is Su Yu. He has been only streaming for two days and he already got 700,000 Popularity on the site! A lot of us saw him punch the tiger live! It’s a live stream after all!”
“Yeah! I was there as well! I am a witness!”
“Witness +1! Cheers for Master Su!”
“If you don’t believe it, you can go search for Master Su’s streaming room on Lion Fang. He carried the wild boar back from the mountains today, so I think he’s going to show us how to cut the wild boar up tomorrow!”
“Yeah! I also bore witness to that!”
…
The next morning, when Su Yu opened his eyes, he noticed that the blood on his body had hardened into an armor of sorts, enveloping his body.
He walked into the bathroom for a bath to wash the hardened blood away.
When he came out of the bathroom, he felt that his body had grown stronger. He simply punched the air and to his surprise, his little punch caused a tiny air bust.
Then, he realized his cultivation state had also risen to the next level because of the [Dragon Blood].
He had reached Qi-refining Stage 4.
“Which means, I can use the [Fireball Technique] and [Freezing Technique]!”
Su Yu was surprised by the several great news early in the morning. He called up the system and signed in for the day.
“Sign in!”
[Ding Dong! Congratulations on signing in! Acquired King Kong Knife]
Su Yu pouted.
“A knife? What is it for? Cutting vegetables?”
He was not overly concerned, thus he simply took it out from the system.
A black hole appeared in front of him, and the knife fell out. It fell blade-down, and when it reached the floor, it shocked Su Yu.
The blade plunged deep into the brick floor as though the brick was a piece of tofu.
Su Yu was forced to rethink and reevaluate the knife as he picked it up.
“This is no ordinary knife!”
He then kept it away and headed downstairs. He walked to the living room and saw the dog that he rescued yesterday had been nursed back to health after taking the pill. It was playing with Little White happily in the yard.
Su Yu sighed a breath of relief after seeing the dog’s recovery.
However, the blood pill was not an ordinary recovery pill. It was made from the blood of a Tengu.
After taking the pill, the dog also underwent some changes physically. The most obvious change was a lock of white fur at its forehead that had not been there last night. The white fur made the dog look a lot more dynamic.
Su Yu walked to the yard where Little White and the dog noticed him.
The dog ran to him immediately. It clearly remembered that it was Su Yu who had rescued it from the tiger yesterday, hence it showed him a high level of affection.
The dog nuzzled against his hand and also licked his fingers.
Su Yu patted the dog’s head before proceeding to start his stream for the day.
The moment he went online, he was shocked by the number of viewers. There were already 150,000 viewers on the stream!
“Holy sh*t! What happened? Why are there so many people here? I’m just starting the stream! Are you guys camping for me?”
“Wow! Finally, Master Su! I’m so anxious! How’s the dog from yesterday?”
“I’m here, Master Su! Feels great to watch your stream after I wake up!”
“I came from Tiktok! Are you the one who punched the tiger yesterday?”
“We are from Kuaishou!!! I just want to say ‘BRO, YOU ARE AWESOME!’”
“Bilibili folks here! Where are my brothers?”
“Su Yu, show us the wild boar you hunted yesterday! We want to see how you cut it!”
