The night was full of silence in the Yang's household, though, inside of this, a man on the couch sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed tightly.
It was none other than, Lin Haoran.
He was more focused on meditating, his profile seems to be serene, as with his aura was radiating around him.
While he was sitting in a lotus position, there seems to be a transparent energy flowing around him, making him charming at the moment.
Lin Haoran was simply absorbing Qi energy from this mortal plane, in his surroundings, even though it was not that rich and thick, doing this also help him advance a little on the breaking through.
He knows it himself that couldn't possibly just rely on the system, having a Golden Finger is already good, but he also wants to work harder, as it will only be just for himself.
He has a mindset that, if he relies too much on the system, then if one day it got removed from him, wouldn't he become useless then after?
Demotivation and one's laziness can cause one's death, after all, he is the Villain, and the World itself was against him.
Huff—
Lin Haoran took a deep breath, as he concentrated himself on circulating the Qi that he absorbed directly toward his Dantian.
Dantian—
This is where Qi is stored, if one's Dantian was destroyed, without a doubt, he'll be a cripple in life, a useless dog.
While Lin Haoran was immersed in circulation and absorbing the energy around him, his whole body become sweaty.
It was a little hard, as he needs to absorb Qi without mixing the other energy around the surface...
It was simply another matter, that he already knows.
Lin Haoran focused on meditating, his deep black hair which was quite long moving in an arched motion.
He seems to be in his own world.
.

Just like that, the night quickly passed, as Lin Haoran opened his obsidian gem-like eyes.
He look at the clock pinned to the wall, and he released a heavy sigh.
"It's only past 4 am." He commented as he fixed his sitting position, breaking the lotus-style position.
"Absorbing Qi through meditation can no longer help me on advancing the next Martial Realm." Lin Haoran said and continue, "The Dantian if I remember has three levels, Low, Mid, and High. This is also a part of Martial Practioner, as they are based on one's Dantian capacity and on how fast one's absorption of Qi energy."
"In the Book, Yang Chen has a High level of Dantian, he only discovered this in the middle of the story..." He was calm, and not that surprised or envious of Yang Chen, as a Son of Heaven favored by Luck, isn't it expected that Yang Chen is gifted?
Lin Haoran wasn't envious, though he can see the different treatment, he, the Dragon King of War before he became like this, a leader of a Mercenary group.
He faced hardship, he was an orphan, and he grew up until he was 5 years old in the orphanage, being treated as a garbage in society.
That only changed when a certain Oldman adopted him, and that of course part of the dog Author's script. It turns out that the Oldman was the leader of the Mercenary Group called, the Ancient Dragon Mercenary Group, which was a very dominant group, suiting its arrogant name.
He was raised by the Oldman, not by gentle care that a parental figure should have done.
He was simply trained to become a killer on the battlefield, in the age of 10, his hands were tainted by blood.
At first, it was unpleasant, but he become used to it, as time passed.
Fun times though did not last long, as at the age of 18, Lin Haoran was asked for a duel to the death by the leader of the group, and in the end.... It could be said that it's tragic.
Lin Haoran did not feel guilt, a killer since childhood did not feel that emotion right now, he look at his hands, it was the ones that ended the life of the leader of the Ancient Dragon Group, and also the father-like figure to him...
".... Sigh— Past occurrences are trying to hunt me..."
Lin Haoran open the system interface, not bothered by the bad past that he remember.
Then, when he opened it, he as expected saw that nothing changed to it, though he didn't close the interface.
"System, use that Skill Upgrading Card for the acupuncture skill." Lin Haoran said under his breath, he has a plan to slowly disposed of and maybe make a use of his Father-in-law, Yang Wei.
Then, the system's notification sounded inside of his head, and then as usual a color violet panel emerged.
[Ding! 'Skill Enhancing Card'(Low-Grade)→ has successfully consumed by the host's 'Acupuncture skill'— Acupuncture(Lvl4)]
Seeing this, Lin Haoran suddenly felt that his proficiency in the acupuncture was refreshed, as some new information emerged.
After that, he held his forehead, as he couldn't help but think of the plan, he made for Yang Wei.
In the end, Yang Wei could only blame himself, the daughter and the wife have a part of role in the script.
Lin Haoran could be said that he's going to plunder some points with Yang Wei's use.
Then, at this moment, footsteps could be heard, as Lin Haoran look at the person who arrived in the area where he was.
Looking at the certain individual, he maintains his blank facial expression.
Then, their eyes met, and immediately furious eyes settled in his existence.
"A—Ahh! It's very early in the morning and the first thing my eyes could see is a trashy dog!" Yang Wei with disdain in his eyes said, eyeing Lin Haoran.
He walked near him, and he pointed a finger at his face, he was trying to poke his forehead.
"Also, you thought that I forgot what you bastard has done! Didn't I say that a dog should greet the owner and open the door for us? Huh? Where are you? How dare you make my precious daughter disturb her sweet sleep! How ungrateful of a dog you are!"
Yang Wei told Lin Haoran poking his forehead strongly, but Lin Haoran did not even move from his position.
Though, Yang Wei did not notice Lin Haoran that was smirking under his could-n't-be-seen expression.
Yang Wei continue to scold Lin Haoran, "Did you not hear what I said? A poor dog like you belongs to the street, a garbage that needs to dispose of..."
Crack—
"A— Ahhhk—!" Yang Wei yelled, but Lin Haoran put a cloth inside of his mouth.
"Kahmm!—" Yang Wei has fearful eyes, he saw his the finger that has been poking Lin Haoran was broken, it was now hanging, as Lin Haoran before breaking it forcefully up motion, he did not stop there, and he continue to twist it.
Yang Wei screams but, the cloth inside his mouth was preventing his loud noise.
"Early in the morning, all I heard is a dog that keeps barking, did you not get tired of barking at me every day, right father-in-law?" Lin Haoran strangle Yang Wei by the neck, lifting him up in the air, while a cloth was still inside his mouth.
Though, Lin Haoran was careful in choking Yang Wei, making sure that there will be no trace that he was strangled.
Kah—
Ahhck—
Yang Wei has watery eyes, looking at Lin Haoran's cold obsidian eyes, he was smirking as if he was mocking him.
He was clutching the left arm that was lifting him, and choking him at the same time.
Yang Wei continue to struggle, his eyes were going to roll back, and he did not see Lin Haoran retrieving a needle.
Swish!—
Then Lin Haoran's left arm that was lifting, as it choke Yang Wei, his right hand with the Ancient Healing Needle.
With a swift and fast smooth motion, Lin Haoran poked Yang Wei's abdomen, as he inserted his Qi in the needle.
Then, after that, Lin Haoran stabbed Yang Wei in the heart area and inserted the Qi energy.
Thud—
After that, he dropped Yang Wei on the floor, and as his body lay with foam on his mouth, he lost consciousness, he couldn't endure the pain.
"You're lucky, in the past, I already have killed your kind, but since you still have a use, I'll let you live as a cripple that can only lay on the bed." Lin Haoran then dragged Yang Wei inside the bathroom.
He stripped all of his clothes, and then poured water onto his body, while he was inside the bathtub.
Then, after that, he slammed Yang Wei's head into the floor of the bathroom, blood leaked but it wouldn't kill him.
Then, before leaving Lin Haoan let all of his Qi energy spread all over the bathroom, as he cleans the evidence of a third person possible with him.
He makes sure that there will be no evidence of him, such as a finger print's, etc.
His Qi energy spread, all around Yang Wei after footprints as such, and other possible evidence was cleansed.
Even Yang Wei's clothes were cleaned off by his Qi, the same with his naked body that was laying on the bathroom floor.
Then, after that Lin Haoran walk away going to his couch, while his Qi followed him, cleaning the footstep that he made.
When he arrived at the couch, he also let his Qi do the thing, cleaning Yang Wei's trail towards him...
Lin Haoran withdrew the Qi, and as he stopped the circulation, he did not even change expression after what he has done.
Rather, he look at the certain room, where Yang Wei's wife was, his eyes beamed with a certain light, as he grin maniacally.
Finally, he settled down on the couch, and close his eyes.
Then, he only woke up when someone scream loudly, resounding all over the house.
