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

It would be bad if someone else blocked it.

One against two is an absolute certainty of defeat.

Before he could even take a step, he saw a short figure, only about 1.4 meters tall, rushing towards him.

Seeing this, the thought of escaping immediately stopped, and an angry look appeared on the face that was even somewhat unclear in the light.

I initially thought it was someone important, but it turned out to be just a little kid wearing a hood. Even if it wasn't a child, this guy's height posed no threat to me at all.

"Kid, if you want to play hero games, you've come to the wrong person!"

The shop assistant who was being robbed nearby saw that Harry Potter had attracted the robber's attention and immediately turned around and ran away without saying a word.

They showed no gratitude for being saved, and had no intention of turning back to help.

The hurried footsteps were decisive, and when they passed by Harry Potter, the short figure was slightly taken aback.

The homeless man became even angrier when he saw the duck that was supposed to fly away.

"You damn brat, I'm going to send you to meet your maker!"

A tall, adult figure charged toward Harry Potter.

The enormous difference in size made Harry Potter feel an unprecedented sense of oppression, something Dudley could never provide on a normal day.

In a daze, Harry Potter felt as if a hippo was crashing into him.

Fortunately, after more than a year of persistent training, Harry Potter has grown greatly in all aspects.

As the other person swung a punch at him, Harry Potter suddenly bent down, his already short stature becoming even shorter, and nimbly slipped under the other person's armpit.

The homeless man missed his punch and was about to turn around when he felt a force strike his knee from behind, causing him to stumble and lose his balance, taking two unsteady steps.

In that brief moment, Harry Potter swiftly closed in on his opponent, raising his fist and repeatedly punching him in the lower back.

Every punch was crisp and clean, delivered with full force.

Due to the height difference and the angle, it's unrealistic to expect to cause further damage.

After throwing several punches, Harry Potter knew when to stop and retreated, continuing to create distance.

Through their recent interaction, he already had a clear understanding of the situation.

Given the huge difference in size, it would be absolutely not worthwhile to fight head-on with the opponent.

He had to do what he had done before when facing Dudley: use his agility and speed to deal with him.

Only in this way can one have a chance of winning.

He was outmaneuvered by a little brat and took several punches, which left his lower back and sides sore, feeling like his kidneys were about to burst.

This feeling fueled the homeless man's anger, which intensified under the stimulation of pain.

Both of his eyes were slightly red.

Right now, all he wants is to kill this brat here so he can vent his anger.

The homeless man charged at him again, and Harry Potter tried to use his old trick, taking advantage of his smaller stature, to evade the attack.

But this time the opponent was well prepared, their hands were firmly in defense, giving Harry Potter no chance at all.

They kept closing in on him, trying to corner him and reduce his space to move.

Harry Potter also realized that he was in a bad situation. While dodging, he kept looking around, trying to see if there was anything or no environment that he could use.

But in that moment of distraction, a dark fist came crashing down.

Although the physique after exercise is basically not much different from that of an adult.

However, physical appearance cannot be compensated for by this.

A punch came flying at Harry Potter, who blocked it with his arm, and a sudden pain shot through him.

Before he could react, huge fists rained down on him.

If he was still relatively in control before, now that he's been dragged into the opponent's rhythm, Harry Potter, who had fought before, suddenly became flustered in this situation.

His steps became disordered, and his hand movements lost their rhythm.

Lin Yu watched this scene from Harry Potter's perspective, but showed no intention of intervening.

Watching Harry Potter grit his teeth and forcefully stand trembling with the other person, only to be pinned to the ground and brutally beaten.

"You brat, go and die!"

The homeless man pinned Harry Potter down, his hands around his neck, ready to kill him.

At this moment, Lin Yu finally made his move.

A subtle spiritual force entered the other person's mind.

The guy who was just a moment ago looked fierce and menacing, but suddenly became still, passed out, and collapsed on top of Harry Potter.

"Huhu."

Having been rescued, Harry Potter lay on the cold, damp ground, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.

He felt waves of intense pain all over his body, causing him to gasp in shock.

'Get up, you can go home now.'

Lin Yu spoke in Harry Potter's mind.

Harry Potter lay on the ground for a moment before struggling to his feet. The back of his clothes was torn from the fight.

Now, a slight chill comes with the breeze.

There were still some chafed areas on my body, and the stinging pain made my nerves throb.

Walking home with a limp, Harry Potter no longer seemed as excited as he had been when he arrived.

After a while, just as he was about to get home, Harry Potter felt guilty in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Master, I've disappointed you."

Lin Yu didn't care too much about Harry Potter's apology. He was satisfied with the result of letting a ten-year-old fight against an adult, even if the child had been training for more than a year.

After all, Harry Potter didn't go for the kill. Otherwise, if he had punched the waist or the balls in the first encounter, the fight would have been over long ago.

However, these things need to be cultivated slowly, just like today.

Harry Potter needs to suffer a bit so he can grow up better.

'It's normal to fail the first time; as long as you learn from the experience, it's valuable.'

He tiptoed back home, then lay down in his closet, feeling the soreness in his body.

Although there was no mirror in the closet, he knew that he must look terrible on his body and face right now.

"Oh no, Aunt Penny is going to scold me again tomorrow."

Harry Potter was somewhat dejected. This first and most painful defeat was even harder for him to accept than the bullying he had suffered at home and school.

After all, this was a force he had painstakingly cultivated for a full year to finally acquire.

Instead of worrying about that, I think you should reflect on where you fell short today.

Lin Yu's voice rang out, and Harry Potter slapped his forehead, but the movement aggravated his injuries, causing him to wince in pain.

'I was still a bit timid. I should have done better the second time I faced that guy, using my agility to restrain him.'

"As he kept getting closer, I panicked, and he seized the opportunity to beat me up. I should have created distance immediately."

Harry Potter spoke quickly, clearly having thought about these things on the way back.

'That's true, but the fact is you made a mistake right from the very first step.'

'first step?'

Harry Potter looked completely bewildered, not knowing what he had done wrong.

'Have you been watching too many superhero movies?'

'If the other person doesn't notice you, go behind them and pick up a rock, or something else, or even just punch them in the back of the neck with your bare hands.'

'Either option allows you to subdue your opponent quickly and at minimal cost, instead of acting like an idiot, yelling and reminding them, and starting a so-called superhero fight against crime.'

Harry Potter couldn't help but blush when he heard Lin Yu's words.

I hadn't felt anything before, and I even felt a little bit of pleasure at the time.

This sense of heroism is something that exists to some extent in both children and adults.

It can also be understood.

"Also, what exactly is the internal energy you cultivate for?"

'Although your current internal energy can't sustain this use many times, it's still one of your trump cards. Why didn't you use it when fighting your opponent?'

'I...I forget when I get nervous.'

Harry Potter looked ashamed and spoke softly.

'That's fine, it's something you'll understand after I remind you.'

But you must remember this next point.

"In your first encounter with him, you did a great job dodging his attacks and then turning the tables, landing several hard punches."
