Past few days, Wei Zhao spend his time creating the contribution system, but every night still continued to focus on his cultivation, pushing himself to reach the next level. He spent hours every night in meditation, refining his energy and expanding his cultivation base. He also made sure to maintain his physical fitness, practicing his martial arts and running through the forest to build his endurance.
Despite the demands of starting the contribution system, Wei Zhao remained disciplined and focused on his goals. He knew that improving his cultivation would not only benefit him personally but also make him a more valuable asset to the village.
As the days passed, Wei Zhao began to feel a shift in his energy, a sense of power building within him. He could feel himself getting closer and closer to breaking through to the next realm of cultivation.
Finally, after weeks of hard work and dedication, Wei Zhao felt a surge of energy rush through his body. He had broken through from the middle stage of the foundation-building realm to the peak stage of the foundation-building realm.
Wei Zhao was ecstatic, feeling a sense of accomplishment that he had never experienced before. He knew that he had pushed himself to his limits and that his hard work had paid off.
But he also knew that there was still much work to be done. He couldn't afford to become complacent or satisfied with his progress. He had to keep pushing himself to become stronger, to reach new heights of cultivation and mastery.

"I must say I am kinda strong now. should I try fighting a level 20+ beast?", said Wei Zhao to himself.
When the thought surfaced in his mind he couldn't stop it, and he also has the Heavenly Beast Devouring Technique which can weaken beasts. so He headed deep into the forest.
Wei Zhao ventured deep into the forest, his senses sharpened as he searched for the presence of a powerful beast with the system.
Wei Zhao carefully made his way through the forest, keeping his senses alert for any signs of danger. Suddenly, he heard a low growl from the bushes ahead. He unsheathed his sword and braced himself, ready for whatever might emerge.
Out from the bushes stepped a fierce-looking wolf, its fur bristling with aggression. Wei Zhao could tell that this was no ordinary wolf - it was at least a level 18 beast.
The wolf charged at him, but Wei Zhao was ready. He dodged its initial attack and struck back with a lightning-fast strike of his sword. The wolf howled in pain and lunged again, but Wei Zhao parried its attack and delivered a powerful punch to its snout.
The beast staggered back, dazed and confused. Wei Zhao saw his chance and delivered a final blow, striking the wolf with a bolt of punches that crackled through the air. The wolf fell to the ground, defeated.
Wei Zhao encountered quite a few beasts, like this one but he quickly took care of them. He also received a few good rewards from the system.
As he approached the clearing, he spotted a large and ferocious-looking beast, with razor-sharp claws and teeth. It was a level 23 beast, a formidable opponent for anyone a Rhino.
Wei Zhao felt his heart race as he took a deep breath and steadied himself. He knew this would be a tough fight, but he was determined to test his strength. He looked above the beast's head and saw its stats.

"Fuck, a beast with Qi and level 20+ sure are another level!", Wei Zhao shouted.
The Thunderhorn Rhino charged at him with a loud, thunderous roar. Wei Zhao leaped out of the way, dodging the massive horns that were aimed at him. He swung his sword in a wide arc, striking the beast's side, but it hardly seemed to notice.
"Chank!", As Wei Zhao's sword struck the Thunderhorn Rhino's tough hide, it created a sharp, metallic sound, like a hammer striking an anvil.
Wei Zhao knew that he had to find the Thunderhorn Rhino's weakness if he was going to have any chance of defeating it. He watched carefully as the beast charged again, studying its movements and looking for any signs of vulnerability.
"Slash!", With each swing of his sword, Wei Zhao created a whooshing sound as he sliced through the air and struck the beast. He activated Heavenly Beast Devouring Technique and the Thunderhorn Rhino beast slowed down considerably it's its strength also decreased.
"ROAR!", The Thunderhorn Rhino bellowed in rage as it charged at Wei Zhao, creating a low rumbling sound that echoed through the forest the beast used its skill thunder charge.
"Thud!" When the Thunderhorn Rhino's massive body collided with Wei Zhao's sword, it created a heavy thud that could be felt in the ground beneath their feet. Wei Zhou felt like all his bones crashing as he hit a tree from the impact.
"This fuking thing!, such powers up after using skills", Wei took out a bottle of Forest Healing Elixir made with all rare healing herbs and "gulped!" the whole thing down. He could feel his body healing fast and becoming ready for another clash with the beast.
"ROAR!", a rumbling sound echoed through the forest the beast used the skill thunder charge again.
"Thud" - When the Thunderhorn Rhino's massive body got close to Wei Zhao, it created a heavy thud using other skill Thunder Stomp the ground beneath their feet thunder came from the ground and attacked Wei Zhao.
"Fuck!", Wei Zhao jumped out of the way and the thunder barely missed him.
"Crack, go to hell!", As Wei Zhao's Blazing Sword Technique sword struck the Thunderhorn Rhino's horn, it created a loud cracking sound, like a tree branch snapping in half.
He noticed a small spot under the beast's belly the weak point from the system description. It looked like a weak point in the Rhino's armor. Wei Zhao knew he had to strike it if he was going to have any hope of winning this fight.
He braced himself as the Thunderhorn Rhino charged at him once again. He waited for the perfect moment, then leaped forward, his sword held high above his head. With a mighty strike, he plunged the blade under the Rhino's belly, hitting the weak spot.
"Groan!" - The Thunderhorn Rhino groaned in pain as Wei Zhao's attacks hit the spot.
The beast let out a deafening roar of pain, thrashing and kicking wildly. Wei Zhao struggled to keep his balance but managed to keep his grip on his sword.
"Whimper!" In its final moments, the Thunderhorn Rhino let out a whimper as Wei Zhao delivered the final blow. After a few tense moments, the Thunderhorn Rhino finally collapsed, its massive body shaking the ground as it hit the dirt.
Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief as he panted, feeling the rush of adrenaline course through his veins. He had faced a formidable opponent and emerged victorious.
As Wei Zhao stood victorious over the Thunderhorn Rhino, he felt a surge of energy coursing through his body. Suddenly, a notification popped up in his mind from the system:
"Congratulations! You have defeated a level 23 Thunderhorn Rhino and absorbed its soul. As a reward, you have gained a new skill: Thunder Strike."
Wei Zhao didn't have time to hear the system notification and quickly put the body of the beast in the system storage and left in a hurry as he knew he is deep in the forest power full beast can come at any moment.
Wei Zhao continued to run through the dense forest, his heart pounding with adrenaline. He knew that he had to get out of there quickly, as there could be even more powerful beasts lurking in the shadows. As he ran, he heard the sound of twigs snapping and leaves rustling behind him, causing him to pick up the pace.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Wei Zhao emerged from the forest and into the bright sunlight. He took a deep breath and looked back at the dense canopy of trees, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over him.
But just as he was about to celebrate his victory, he remembered the Thunderhorn Rhino's body in his system storage.
