Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

Find an open space, dig a hole, put a few stones together, and you have a big stove.

After gathering the firewood, the weapons clashed, and with a "clang!", a spark flew out, instantly turning into a raging fire that shot several feet high. The two siblings, who were intently watching Li Xingzhi's movements, were so frightened that they retreated in fear.

"Ah!" Gao Yang cried out in fright, even though the fire was still far away.

Curious, she took the still-sharp short sword from Li Xingzhi's hand and gently struck it with both hands. The sword made a crisp sound, but no sparks flew.

Seeing the half-smile on the girl's face, he was frustrated and angrily threw the short blade in his hand—"snap," with a soft sound, the seemingly ugly black short sword actually cut off the not-so-thick branch above his head with the girl's throw, and with the momentum of falling, it disappeared into the thick tree trunk next to him.

"Thwack!" A tree branch fell from the sky and hit Gao Yang on the head, leaving him looking disheveled, which made the others burst into laughter. Li Xueyan, on the other hand, was clearly a quiet girl, but when she looked at the pair of swords, her eyes lit up, like a military enthusiast in later times looking at those cold metal weapons.

She watched as Li Xingzhi deftly processed the deer thigh with his precious sword, muttering something under her breath, her bright eyes clearly showing a hint of dissatisfaction.

Li Xingzhi used only a dagger to cut off a thick deer leg, removed the hair but kept the skin, prepared the ingredients, wrapped it in lotus leaves, and roasted it over a fire; with his other hand, he took out a few sweet potatoes and potatoes from somewhere and buried them in the ashes.

Apart from Li Linzhi, the others had all been waited on since childhood, and they were filled with curiosity when they saw the burning fire and the large pieces of meat on the fire.

The group kept adding firewood to the fire. Watching the flames grow bigger and bigger, illuminating the area brightly, they felt warm all over and filled with a wonderful feeling they had never experienced before. Perhaps, this was happiness.

Barbecues naturally wouldn't be complete without Li Xingzhi's favorite jade honey. The bright golden honey syrup seeped through the lotus leaves and between the meat pieces, filling the entire thigh meat. The originally gamey venison suddenly exuded a rich and sweet aroma.

In the pot beside him, the water was already boiling vigorously. Li Xingzhi held a few small birds with very little meat, skinned and deboned them, threw them into the pot, covered them, and put them to cook.

The barbecue flames gradually died down, but the surrounding area was scorching hot. The charcoal on the ground glowed red, and sparks occasionally burst out, gleaming brightly.

Li Xingzhi tore open the lotus leaf, revealing the rosy flesh inside.

Under the intense heat of the charcoal fire, the venison's original reddish-brown color turned into an enticing golden hue. The rich aroma, which was previously only detectable by a few people nearby, suddenly spread far and wide, filling the entire forest with a wonderful, sweet, and warm fragrance.

The fire in the stove was about to go out; when the lid was lifted, the milky white broth in the pot was bubbling and emitting a light aroma that was different from that of roasted meat, which diffused the rich sweetness of the honey meat and made people feel refreshed.

Suddenly, under the watchful eyes of several eager viewers, a pair of jade-like hands reached into the boiling soup. With a flick of the wrist and a gentle scoop, they retrieved the undisturbed meat and bones from the pot and tossed it to the large dogs that had been eyeing the pot with predatory intent, their saliva dripping. Among the group focused solely on the soup, only the observant Li Xueyan noticed that this large movement hadn't left a single drop of soup or oil on those hands! She glanced at Li Xingzhi from time to time, a hint of curiosity in her eyes—after all, she was still a young girl full of dreams.

"Brother Li, can we eat now?" a voice asked, and several pairs of eyes followed, filled with longing.

Looking into the several pairs of wet, hopeful eyes, Li Xingzhi suddenly felt that if he didn't nod, he would be committing a terrible sin.

"Ok!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, ringing in the ears of everyone around. Several servants and maids standing not far from Li Xingzhi and the others, their faces completely drained of color, gaped open and shouted loudly as they desperately rushed towards the scene.

Gao Yang and the others turned around and saw a wild bear nearly ten feet long, its body covered in glossy black fur, standing upright and pouncing towards them!

A cold, toothless mouth and a foul, fishy stench descend upon you!

"Roar!"

The people present were all pale. Gao Yang opened his mouth wide, but couldn't utter a sound.

The clumsy black bear moved incredibly fast, but in Li Xingzhi's eyes, who had gathered all his strength, it was nothing special. He pulled a long arrow from the quiver beside him, and with a flash of his eyes, everyone saw a white light streak before their eyes. The giant bear, which had been pouncing, stopped abruptly and was instead lifted up by a tremendous force!

Blood spurted from his chest and back, splashing into crimson blooms in the air!

"Snap! Snap! Snap!" The crowd heard several consecutive sounds and saw a long arrow pierce through the trunks of several large trees, turning into ashes.

"Bang!" The giant bear's massive body crashed heavily to the ground, its thick paws trembling incessantly, its golden, bloodshot eyes bulging out, displaying immense anger and resentment!

The girls, along with Li Zhi, looked away from the ferocious appearance of the dead bear, unable to look directly at it.

Everyone looked at Li Xingzhi with shock on their faces!

The giant bear had just died, and the group was still reeling from their near-death experience when another roar came from afar.

Its roar was like thunder, bringing with it a whooshing sound, and its power was a hundred times greater than that of a black bear!

A chill ran through everyone's hearts!

My heart began to race as the giant beast scurried through the grass and trees.

"Roar—!" A foul wind swept across their faces, causing the branches of trees several meters away to rustle and sending chills down their spines.

Li Xingzhi, long arrow in hand, was about to strike when a rustling sound came from the woods to his right, accompanied by the neighing of horses. Suddenly, a group of young men and women, like Li Xingzhi, were out hunting, chasing dogs and falcons. There were dozens of them, all dressed in fine clothes, carrying large bows and long arrows. They dismounted, heads held high, and their prized horses, rarely seen in ordinary times, galloped forward in unison. Even the large, yellow-skinned tigers poised to pounce tensed their hind legs, as if facing a formidable enemy!

"Why is Sister Gaoyang here?" A woman in a yellow dress next to a slender, scholarly young man in the middle looked at Gaoyang in the arena and suddenly asked.

Gao Yang was about to reply when a loud roar made his ears ring. It was the large, white-browed tiger with piercing eyes that had been crouching low beside him. As if it was dissatisfied with being ignored by everyone, it roared like thunder, carrying the force of a howling wind!

Caught off guard, the men on horseback also swayed precariously.

"Take this arrow!" A burly young man drew a large bow, and a long arrow, gleaming with a cold light, shot straight toward the giant beast's head.

A flicker of disdain crossed the tiger's eyes. It tilted its head slightly, and the arrow missed its mark. It raised its head and looked at the group of people riding towards it. It seemed to understand that these people posed a great threat, but then its eyes darted away, and it looked at the large piece of meat in Li Xingzhi's hand with a hint of reluctance. Only then did it widen its eyes, glare angrily at the young man who had shot the arrow, and pounce on him!

The young man hurriedly shot an arrow.

"Roar!" The enormous roar, perfectly matching the chilling wind in the sky, sent the incoming arrow flying back.

Seeing the arrow hurtling towards his face, the young man leaped off his horse. The arrow tore off his hair, leaving him disheveled, his face covered in dirt, and he looked utterly wretched!

Just as the giant beast was about to pounce, the three young men at the front simultaneously fired three long arrows, forcing the giant tiger back.

The young man lying on the ground was pale, his eyes filled with horror.

The giant beast felt the wounds inflicted by the arrows grazing its body, glared at the group with wide, angry eyes, filled with resentment. Suddenly, it leaped up, its tail like a club, and lashed out at the group below.

Instantly, the horses fell silent, and the riders reared up, dodging the tiger's massive attack. The men hurriedly grabbed the reins to prevent themselves from falling.

At this moment, a strange, human-like glint appeared in the giant tiger's wide, golden eyes. The instant its giant tail slashed out, it pushed off the ground with its two legs and pounced towards Li Xingzhi!

"You beast!" These people, usually so proud and arrogant, never imagined they would be so easily toyed with by a beast. They were even more horrified as they watched the tiger turn and pounce – if Princess Gaoyang, who was usually pampered by the emperor, were to be eaten by a tiger in front of them, they would all be held responsible, and their families might even be implicated.

Li Xingzhi watched the giant tiger pounce on him and was about to shoot the long arrow in his hand when suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. His eyes fell on the fragrant, steaming venison in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the entire male deer thigh was thrown away.

The giant tiger looked at the thigh that Li Xingzhi had thrown out, ignoring the people standing beside it. Before its body even hit the ground, it used its legs to propel its massive body forward again.

In that instant, the group could clearly see the giant beast's muscles twitching and its foul-smelling saliva dripping uncontrollably from its mouth; the wind it generated stung their faces. Watching the giant tiger leap out so close, their faces turned deathly pale, and their hands and feet went cold.

Li Xingzhi glanced at Li Linzhi beside him, who looked just like the others, her face pale. He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly—she possessed a powerful weapon, had an excellent foundation, and her body was brimming with vital energy. If they were to truly fight, she might be able to kill this tiger.

The tiger bit the deer's leg with its sharp teeth, glared fiercely at the group, and then turned and retreated.

The few people on horseback who were about to come to help were stunned for a moment, but their expressions softened considerably. Only the young man who had fallen from his horse and was in a sorry state remained indignant as he watched the direction the giant beast had gone, and he even hated Li Xingzhi for it, shouting, "How could you let that beast go?!"

Li Xingzhi glanced at the young man in front of him, who was clearly physically strong but mentally simple, but did not answer him.

Just as the young man was about to continue speaking, Gao Yang, who had recovered from her shock, turned her anger on him, shouting, "Fang Jun, you almost killed me! Do you want me dead? Humph! If I die, Father will make sure your Fang family doesn't get away with it!"

Upon seeing Gao Yang, the young man immediately cowered like a mouse before a cat; his previous arrogance vanished completely.

The people around seemed unsurprised by Gao Yang's words. Only the man behind Fang Jun frowned deeply. He bowed to Gao Yang and said, "Yiai was reckless and frightened the princess. I apologize on his behalf. When we get back, I will have my father teach him a lesson!" As he spoke, he also gave a slight bow to Li Xingzhi.

Gao Yang looked at Fang Yizhi, who was bowing before him, with impatience on his face and a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Looking at the timid young man in front of Gao Yang, Li Xingzhi suddenly realized—this was none other than the legendary cuckolded king, Fang Yi'ai. He'd never heard of Fang Jun before. Judging by his appearance, he wasn't particularly handsome. However, he had no idea that these two sworn enemies were already so familiar with each other.

The people behind them were getting impatient watching the Fang brothers and Gao Yang entangled. One of them, a burly man with a simple and honest face, stepped forward and examined the black bear that had been shot dead beside him, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement.

"Tsk tsk tsk, even my old man couldn't shoot that arrow. I'm afraid only Uncle Qin back then had such strength and accuracy!" Several young men were drawn over by the big man's voice, and looked at the giant bear's wound with shocked expressions.

The burly man looked around, his gaze finally drawn to a towering figure standing at the edge of the position. It was Zhou Da, whom Li Xingzhi had brought with him. The earlier incident had been dangerous; if Li Xingzhi hadn't given prior orders and hadn't known his master's abilities, Zhou Da would have already rushed out.

"You're quite the hero. Why don't you come with me? I, Old Cheng, will recommend you to my father. What do you say?" The big man looked at Zhou Da's bulging muscles, each one like an iron plate, full of explosive power. He was like a lecherous man seeing a stunning beauty, almost drooling.

However, his actions were nothing short of flirting with the blind man—a complete waste! Zhou Da remained unmoved, staring at the fawning face before him, and swung his iron fist!

"Well done!" Cheng Huaimo shouted, and then threw a punch as well.

A muffled thud. Zhou Dali remained motionless, his body trembling slightly; Cheng Huaimo stumbled back three steps.

"Okay! Come again!"

……

Cheng Huaimo was having a great time, as if he had met a kindred spirit, while Gao Yang was introducing everyone to Li Xingzhi and the others.

Seeing the young man dressed in hunting attire, thin and frail, the crowd felt disdain. Hearing Gao Yang say he was merely the son of a merchant, their hidden disdain was revealed in their eyes, and even with Gao Yang present, they hesitated to nod in greeting. However, the refined young man beside the woman who had previously called Gao Yang "sister," and two other aloof and virtuous individuals beside him, nodded to Li Xingzhi.

At this moment, Cheng Huaimo returned, looking disheveled. Seeing Li Xingzhi, he seemed to remember something, and his nose twitched unusually. "What was that thing you just threw out? Did that thing lure the bear and that tiger here? Too bad, they're all food for the beasts!" he said, his face full of regret. Suddenly, he turned and sized up Li Xingzhi for a moment. "You're not bad, kid! I'll protect you from now on!" he said, his eyes already glancing at Zhou Da's towering frame.

Li Xingzhi understood what he wanted to say, but pretended not to. Ignoring the somewhat anxious Cheng Huaimo, he called Zhou Da and walked in the direction the giant tiger had left.

Cheng Huaimo didn't know what Li Xingzhi was planning to do, so he looked at Zhou Da and followed him.

They hadn't gone far when the three of them saw a huge yellow-skinned beast nestled in the grass, its chest and belly heaving, and its snoring sounding like thunder!

"Good heavens! How did you know this beast would sleep here?" Cheng Huaimo looked at Li Xingzhi, his eyes filled with doubt.

Ignoring him, Li Xingzhi walked directly to the giant tiger while Cheng Huaimo was still in shock. He touched the tiger's fur and occasionally tugged at its thick, hard tail. Finally, under Cheng Huaimo's horrified gaze, he patted the tiger's rump.

No matter how Li Xingzhi tried to manipulate it, the tiger continued to snore loudly and refused to wake up.

Cheng Huaimo walked curiously to Li Xingzhi's side, nervously touching the giant tiger while muttering in awe. He had seen many tigers, but they were all either killed or skinned and dismembered. This was the first time he had touched a living one. The might of the king of beasts, even in its sleep, was awe-inspiring!

“Let’s carry this beast and go back.”

Zhou Da walked to the giant beast's side, and under Cheng Huaimo's horrified gaze, he exhaled and shouted, grabbed the giant tiger's two thick hind legs, and lifted it up, carrying the huge insect weighing nearly a thousand pounds on his body. He then followed behind Li Xingzhi and walked back.

"He actually let me win just now," Cheng Huaimo thought, recalling his earlier match with Zhou Da.
