Socially anxious me transmigrated to a world of cultivation.

The sudden breath caught Pingfan off guard, and he hurriedly raised his hand to defend himself.

"Ah~"

The next moment, Pingfan let out a pig-like scream, and then quickly looked at the back of his hand.

The skin on the back of his hand was bright red and emitted a faint meaty aroma.

Upon seeing this scene, Pingfan was filled with disbelief; he knew better than anyone the strength of a physical body.

Unexpectedly, the breath exhaled by this half-dragon could actually injure his body.

Before Pingfan could react, the half-dragon unleashed another breath attack towards him.

Upon seeing yet another breath attack, Pingfan quickly dodged to the side. The breath grazed past him, causing a burning pain to the skin closest to it.

After dodging the half-dragon's breath, Pingfan didn't dare to think too much and rushed towards the half-dragon, trying to close the distance in the battle.

This is all we can do now. Although we don't know how many more times this half-dragon can unleash its breath attack, as long as we can shrink the battle area...

Even if the half-dragon wanted to unleash its breath, it would be immediately detected by Pingfan and interrupted.

Half-dragon seemed to sense Pingfan's intentions and kept dodging, preventing Pingfan from getting close to it.

At this moment, a comical scene unfolded in the forest: a human attempted to approach a monster, but the monster kept keeping its distance.

After a stick of incense had burned, the half-dragon seemed somewhat weak. Pingfan moved closer to him and then began to frantically punch and pound on the half-dragon's body.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

With each punch, the half-dragon's body was repeatedly struck until, after a wail, it slowly collapsed to the ground and fell still.

Looking at the half-dragon that had finally fallen silent, the ordinary-looking body could no longer bear it and plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

After Pingfan regained some strength, he stood up, walked to the half-dragon, kicked it hard, and said slowly.

"I never expected you could use breath control. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I would have been done for."

After saying that, he looked cautiously at the top of the tree. Only after finding nothing amiss did he begin to cut off the fattest piece of meat from the half-dragon's body.

Then Pingfan looked at the top of the tree again before turning and leaving.

A moment later, Pingfan returned to the lakeside and began to clean the half-dragon meat, start a fire, and put it on the shelf.

As the enticing aroma of meat wafted out, Pingfan immediately took off half a dragon's body and began to show it off in large bites.

Pingfan held meat in his right hand and an unknown wild fruit in his left, eating with great relish, taking bites of meat and munching on the fruit.

After eating and drinking his fill, Pingfan patted his bulging belly, let out a rather loud burp, and slowly lay down.

Looking at the azure sky, Pingfan was filled with emotion. Such a life was something he could only dream of in his world.

Although life here is carefree, it is also fraught with danger.

If you are not strong enough, you will be bullied or even killed by others.

Pingfan thought that after he avenged Li Tiansheng and his wife, he could live in seclusion in the mountains and spend the rest of his life there.

Suddenly, Pingfan remembered the back of his injured hand, raised his arm, and looked at the back of his hand.

The back of his hand was no longer red, but it looked like it had been burned; the skin was wrinkled and looked rather frightening.

Recalling the half-dragon's breath, Pingfan frowned and murmured.

"It seems that monsters that have advanced to the third tier not only possess intelligence but can also use magical attacks."

Although this half-dragon is between the peak of the second tier and the third tier, it has already touched the threshold of the third tier, so it is not surprising that it can exhale.

Thinking of this, Pingfan slowly sat up, lowered his head to think, and then frowned and said.

"I feel like the power of flesh and blood I absorbed hasn't been fully digested yet; I'll still need to fight demonic beasts later."

"But a peak second-tier demonic beast is a bit too easy for me right now."

"Even a third-tier demonic beast nearly lost its life in its battle against that half-dragon."

As he spoke, Pingfan sighed softly and said slowly.

"Fortune favors the bold. As long as we're careful of the monsters' magical attacks, we should be fine."

After saying that, Pingfan stopped thinking about these questions. After all, a half-dragon is a type of dragon, so it's understandable that it's stronger.

As for the other third-tier monsters, no matter how strong they are, can they be stronger than a dragon?

After resting by the lake for a while, Pingfan began looking for a new target.

Time slipped away silently amidst the battles between the ordinary and the demonic beasts.

During this time, Pingfan didn't dare to look for those demonic beasts that had already advanced to the third rank for a long time. He only looked for demonic beasts that had just advanced to the third rank or were at the peak of the second rank.

As Pingfan continued to fight against the demonic beasts, the residual power of the demonic beasts' flesh and blood within his body was gradually integrated into his flesh.

That day, as usual, after killing a monster, Pingfan cut off the fattest piece of meat from its body and headed towards the lake.

However, due to the location of this monster, a third-tier monster appeared on the way from the lake at some unknown time.

When Pingfan was passing by, he almost came face to face with it, but luckily he noticed in time, which avoided a fight.

So now, when returning normally, they can only go back around that area.

When Pingfan passed by the swamp, he glanced over and discovered that the monkeys that should have died had miraculously appeared there.

This made Pingfan immediately stop and hide behind a big tree, peeking out to look.

The monkey was seen squatting on the ground, holding an unknown piece of meat in its hand, and eating it in large mouthfuls.

Upon recognizing that it was indeed the same ape from before, Pingfan frowned slightly and spoke slowly.

"What's going on? Wasn't this ape already dead?"

"Could it be that it wasn't completely dead back then? And now it's alive again?"

After saying that, Pingfan couldn't help but nod; it must be just as he thought.

Otherwise, how could a monster that was already dead suddenly come back to life for no reason?

Recalling his encounter with the ape, Pingfan's gaze towards it gradually hardened as he spoke.

"I've now reached the peak of the tenth level of Body Tempering, and this ape is also at the peak of the second tier. It's perfect for me to use as an opponent."

Moreover, this ape is not strong in attack but has an exceptionally strong defense, making it perfect for honing one's skills.

With that thought in mind, Pingfan put down the piece of meat in his hand, slowly walked out from behind the tree, and headed towards the edge of the swamp.

When Pingfan reached the edge of the swamp, he stopped, looked at the ape squatting in the center, and shouted loudly.

"You beast, look here! Grandpa's here to find you again!"

The ape crouching in the center of the swamp suddenly heard the shout, turned its head and saw Pingfan standing at the edge of the swamp.

Pingfan was giving it the middle finger. Although the ape didn't understand what it meant, it remembered that this person was one of the people who had surrounded and killed it.

After seeing Pingfan's appearance clearly, the ape roared angrily and leaped towards him.
