Of course, the algorithm here does not include the bonuses from martial techniques or bloodline. With those bonuses, the strength would be even greater.

"The Dragon Tiger Pill is already used up, but I'm not in a hurry to buy more. My cultivation has improved too quickly these past few days, so I need some time to consolidate it, and also practice some martial techniques."

Martial cultivation is a step-by-step process. Advancing too quickly can lead to an unstable foundation and impure true energy. Therefore, David Walker planned to spend some time consolidating his progress before buying more Dragon Tiger Pills to continue attacking the remaining two divine veins.

Next, David Walker began to practice the Flame Dragon Fist and Dragon Snake Step.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

On this day, taking advantage of the fact that both Sarah Thompson and Autumn Grace were not around, David Walker practiced the Flame Dragon Fist in the courtyard.

Whoosh! Whoosh!...

The wind from his fists howled as David Walker's body twisted like a great dragon. With every punch, the air exploded with a bang.

Hah!

Finally, David Walker exhaled sharply and punched a stone in the courtyard the size of a human head. With a bang, the stone was shattered into pieces by David Walker.

"The fourth level of the martial technique—mastery."

David Walker finished his practice, a look of joy on his face.

After seven days of training, he had finally cultivated the Flame Dragon Fist to the fourth level.

"Y-Young master, you... you've become so powerful?" Suddenly, a clear voice came from the doorway, full of disbelief.

"Autumn Grace!"

David Walker was startled. He hadn't expected that the rare occasion he chose to practice martial techniques in the courtyard, Autumn Grace would see him.

At this moment, Autumn Grace looked at the shattered stone, then at David Walker, tears welling up in her eyes. She rushed over to David Walker, tightly grabbing his hand, and said, "Young master, this is wonderful! You're so powerful now, you've finally become a martial arts expert. If madam knew, she would be so happy."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Although Autumn Grace was physically frail, she was a true beauty in the making. Now, with tears on her face, she looked so pitiful that David Walker couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. He reached out to wipe the tears from Autumn Grace's face and said, "Autumn Grace, I've succeeded in my cultivation. Shouldn't you be happy? Why are you crying?"

"Young master, I am happy for you!"

Autumn Grace pouted playfully, then suddenly realized her small hands were still tightly holding David Walker's hand. Feeling the warmth of his palm, her heart raced like a startled deer. She jumped back a few steps, her face blushing red.

Looking at Autumn Grace's shy, tearful face, David Walker blurted out, "Autumn Grace, you're so beautiful."

At that, Autumn Grace's face turned even redder, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head deeply and whispered, "Young master, w-what are you saying?"

"Ahem! Haha, Autumn Grace, I've had some fortuitous encounters recently, which is why my cultivation has improved so much. But I can't tell you the details for now."

David Walker coughed awkwardly, quickly changing the subject.

Autumn Grace blinked her big, tearful eyes, looked deeply at David Walker, and said, "Young master, then can you tell madam?"

"Not for now!" David Walker said.

"Alright then, I promise you."

After saying this, Autumn Grace hesitated for a moment, as if making up her mind, and said, "Young master, I want to ask you for a favor."

"What is it?" David Walker asked.

Autumn Grace bit her lip and said, "Young master, c-could you teach Autumn Grace martial cultivation?"

David Walker was taken aback. "Autumn Grace, you want to practice martial arts?"

"Yes, young master. Autumn Grace wants to cultivate martial arts, so I can repay my parents in the future. Also, I hope that one day I can use my own strength to help you and madam."

Autumn Grace said.

David Walker nodded. He knew a bit about Autumn Grace's background. Her parents were a poor family outside Windfire City, and Autumn Grace was not their biological daughter, but was picked up from outside.

Because they were so poor, Autumn Grace was sold to the Lu family at the age of eight, becoming Sarah Thompson's personal maid. She grew up with David Walker, was a year older than him, and they were as close as siblings.

"Alright, Autumn Grace, but your body is too weak. You'll need to take Blood Supplement Pills to replenish your energy and blood, and then I'll try to help you awaken your bloodline."

David Walker smiled and agreed to Autumn Grace's request.

"Young master, you agreed? That's wonderful." Autumn Grace was overjoyed, almost throwing herself into David Walker's arms, but managed to hold back, blushing.

David Walker smiled and said, "Autumn Grace, I happen to need to buy some things too. Let's go to the market together and buy some Blood Supplement Pills while we're at it."

Chapter 8: This Is Too Low-Level

The Divine Weapon Pavilion was the place to buy weapons in the Windfire City market. Inside, there were not only ordinary weapons for commoners, but also spirit weapons for martial artists.

Spirit weapons are forged from precious materials, incomparably sharp, able to cut through iron like mud, and can even enhance a martial artist's combat power. That's why spirit weapons are the best weapons for martial artists.

For example, the longsword left by David Walker's father, which was later taken by James Walker, was a spirit weapon.

Spirit weapons are mainly divided into nine grades, and each grade is further divided into lower, middle, and upper tiers.

This time, David Walker wanted to buy a spirit weapon to practice sword techniques.

David Walker and Autumn Grace walked into the Divine Weapon Pavilion together.

Inside the Divine Weapon Pavilion, two rows of young and beautiful women stood, the female attendants who greeted customers in the pavilion.
