Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

The Dursleys observed all these changes.

They didn't think too much about it, simply assuming it was because Harry Potter's body was starting to develop.

Some boys develop early; it's around this time that they start growing.

As Harry Potter progressed through his training, he noticed that Dudley was bullying him less and less.

It's not that I don't want to, but rather that I'm already somewhat afraid to.

However, his aura changed after he began cultivating.

Harry Potter's physical abilities alone far surpass those of other children his age, and are almost comparable to those of adults.

If you take into account the subtle internal energy within him, ordinary people really wouldn't be a match for him.

Under these circumstances, when Dudley bullied him for the last time, he simply stood there without moving and easily broke free from Dudley's grasp.

With a gentle pinch, he subdued his little follower.

Having felt the overwhelming power emanating from Harry Potter, Dudley, that somewhat cunning chubby boy, wasn't stupid.

Naturally, he wouldn't be stubborn anymore, and instead started looking for ways to deal with Harry Potter from his own parents.

However, with Lin Yu's guidance, Harry Potter is now flawless in everything he does.

Even if Dudley is being spoiled or acting out, there's not much reason to punish Harry Potter.

Snitching and making a fuss might have an effect once or twice.

If this happened every time, even the Dursleys felt somewhat helpless and annoyed.

He would coax Dudley with words and scold Harry Potter a few times, and that would be the end of it.

Harry Potter doesn't care anyway, as long as he's full every day and it doesn't affect his training the next day, nothing else matters.

In Harry Potter's mind, he would wait a few more years until he grew up and became an adult, then he could leave this place.

With his skills, whether he joins the army, or goes into boxing or participates in competitions, he can easily stand out and never have to depend on others again.

Based on such expectations and aspirations for a better life, Harry Potter's feelings for Lin Yu, who had carefully taught him, grew even deeper.

"Master, what do you think I should do next? Being a boxer seems like a good fit for me. If I could win the championship belt, making a name for myself would be no problem at all."

'Rich and glamorous.'

night.

Inside the small closet, Harry Potter spoke to Lin Yu with anticipation.

Even though he was still a child, and no matter how precocious he seemed, he still had a childlike side.

'These are all things for the future; there's no use thinking about them now.'

Lin Yu, of course, wouldn't tell him that he would be going to magic school in a year.

'Take what I asked you to prepare yesterday, let's go out now.'

"Things? Master, do you mean this?"

Somewhat embarrassed, Harry Potter pulled out a headgear-like object made of plastic strips, transparent tape, and some pieces of cloth from under his pillow.

Calling it garbage wouldn't be an exaggeration; it looks exactly like something a kindergarten child would do.

Harry Potter looked at the hood with a bit of helplessness. Lin Yu had suddenly asked him to prepare this yesterday.

He had neither the money to buy them, nor the right materials, nor the necessary skills.

It took me a lot of time last night to finally make this thing.

It's really a bit too ugly.

'Okay, let's go. Take this with us, let's go out.'

'Oh. '

Harry Potter nodded obediently. Over the past year, he had become accustomed to following Lin Yu's arrangements.

Harry Potter tiptoed to the closet door, carefully opened the main door, locked it again, and then left the house.

'Master, where are we going?'

Chapter 210 The first actual combat

Harry Potter, wearing a hood, spoke in a somewhat muffled voice.

Cultivation is not just about practicing in isolation; it also requires considering practical application.

"Your training has begun to show results; you can consider putting it into practice."

Lin Yu was teaching him in his mind.

Harry Potter didn't have any objections to Lin Yu's arrangements, but he was a little curious.

'So, Master, have you arranged an opponent for me?'

'Or do you mean you can summon powerful creatures from another world, like Cerberus or something?'

Since Harry Potter saw Lin Yu's illusory figure during his last apprenticeship, he has taken it upon himself to place Lin Yu in the ghost form of a martial arts master who is no longer alive.

Naturally, their ideas became somewhat skewed.

'Have you been reading too many fantasy novels?'

"With your current rudimentary skills, you think you can deliver midnight snacks to people?"

Harry Potter smiled sheepishly and scratched his head as he spoke.

'Where are we going?'

"Just wander around casually. You don't actually think your country is very safe, do you?"

Upon hearing that it was about dealing with people, Harry Potter's expectations immediately dropped, and he shook his head.

"The security situation is terrible. At night, there are drug addicts and thugs loitering around. Right now, the streets are practically deserted."

'But how are we supposed to find them? Are we just going to patrol like this?'

Harry Potter wasn't worried about the danger of dealing with the robbers; he trusted Lin Yu wouldn't harm him.

I'm just curious how to find these people.

"Don't worry about that. Now, just keep going straight. At the third intersection, turn left, then right. You'll see a burger joint. There's a robbery happening in the alley right now. Go and take care of it."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Harry Potter's eyes lit up, and he immediately started running.

"Really, Master? You're amazing! How did you know that? Did you see it, or is there some other method?"

'Can I learn this in the future?'

"Focus on mastering your skills first; don't be overly ambitious."

With Lin Yu's guidance, Harry Potter soon arrived at the alley behind the hamburger shop.

"Hurry up and give me the money, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Harry Potter peeked out from around the corner, and could be seen in the dim light.

The robber was a raggedly dressed Black man, who appeared to be a homeless person or something similar, and he didn't have any weapons.

Opposite him was a woman wearing a hamburger shop uniform, who looked like she was the last one to leave after get off work and got stuck there.

'This is the guy. Go and take him down. Be a champion of justice.'

'I understand, Master!'

Although Harry Potter was facing an adult, he was still a little nervous.

But at the same time, I also felt a sense of excitement and anticipation.

Having never fought with anyone before, not even at school, he felt his blood inexplicably begin to heat up.

Humans are a combative species.

This instinct is ingrained in our genes.

This has nothing to do with region, race, or culture; it is simply human nature.

Harry Potter mentally prepared himself for a moment, then rushed out.

"stop!"

Watching his reckless behavior through Harry Potter's perspective, Lin Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

He's still just a kid; he doesn't think things through much before he acts.

In this situation, the best approach is not to blindly rush in.

Instead, they take advantage of the fact that the other party hasn't noticed them, then circle around behind them before making their move.

But that's precisely why he brought Harry Potter along.

Honing combat experience refers not only to experience gained in actual combat, but also to experience gained in current combat.

Upon hearing the voice, the homeless man was startled and tried to run away.
