Chapter 60 Ultimate Thunder Kick, Iron Shirt Third Layer
dong dong dong.

Su Chen was already used to Tao Wenxuan's bureaucratic tone, so after Tao entered, Su Chen immediately showed Wei Jie's head.

"what!"

His head rolled to the ground with a dull thud, revealing Wei Jie's lifeless face. A strange smell, a mixture of blood and stench, filled the air.

Upon seeing this, the maidservant instinctively screamed, covered her mouth and nose, and showed a look of horror on her face.

The advisor, who was sitting and talking with Su Chen, suddenly stood up the moment he saw Wei Jie's head. His expression changed several times before finally becoming tense.

Tao Wenxuan was in slightly better condition at this moment. He stared at Wei Jie's head for a long time before looking at Su Chen and chuckled, "Hero Yang, you are truly amazing. Even someone like Wei Jie has lost his life at your hands. This is a great joy for our county government!"

"Here comes someone!"

After praising him, Tao Wenxuan summoned a servant to bring out the three hundred taels of silver he had prepared, but this time it was not silver but silver notes.

After checking the silver notes, Su Chen stuffed them into his pocket and bid farewell to Tao Wenxuan, saying, "Magistrate Tao, I have other important matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer. If you need this kind of job again in the future, as long as the price is right, you can always come to me."

Three hundred taels at a time—this price was indeed tempting to Su Chen. So, against his will, he said something to Tao Wenxuan. Upon hearing this, Tao Wenxuan smiled and said, "Of course, of course. Master, go and see Yang Zhuangshi off!"

"Yes!" the clerk nodded.

Su Chen didn't pay any attention. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Tao Wenxuan.

"Brother Yang, is there anything else?" Tao Wenxuan asked upon seeing this.

Su Chen replied, "Regarding the killing of Wei Jie, I inadvertently obtained some information. I wonder if Magistrate Tao would be interested in knowing it?"

"What news?" Tao Wenxuan blurted out, but quickly realized his mistake and chuckled, "I am willing to offer ten taels of silver for the information that Yang Zhuangshi has. Is that acceptable?"

"This news is related to the Rebirth Sect."

"Twenty taels!" Tao Wenxuan pursed his lips and held up two fingers.

Su Chen smiled upon hearing this, concealing the details of his fight with Wei Jie, and told Tao Wenxuan about Wei Jie's encounter with the two men in black.

After hearing this, Tao Wenxuan pondered for a moment, his expression gradually becoming serious. However, he did not delve into the details, but instead said to Su Chen, "Thank you, Warrior Yang. This news is very important to me. I will personally escort Warrior Yang out."

After saying that, he walked out with Su Chen, with the clerk following closely behind, without saying a word.

As the three walked out of the county government office, Su Chen waved his hand and said, "Wait!"

Then, under the watchful eyes of the two, he turned and left. Tao Wenxuan watched Su Chen's departing figure and said softly, "Send someone clever to follow him and find out his background."

"Yes!"

Not long after leaving the county government office, Su Chen realized that someone was following him.

The other party's tracking methods were far more sophisticated than those of the group in Blue Leaf Town; they maintained a certain distance at all times, making them difficult to detect.

If Su Chen hadn't been so cautious, even he probably wouldn't have noticed.

After leading the other person around the streets for a while, the other person suddenly disappeared, which puzzled Su Chen. Did they give up so quickly?

Fortunately, Su Chen was cautious and did not leave immediately. Before long, he discovered that another stranger was following him.

"It seems the other party guessed that I had already discovered him, so he changed his clothes and followed me." Su Chen shook his head, secretly amazed. If it were someone else, they would probably have fallen for this kind of tracking method long ago.

However, he didn't care. Instead, he found an inn, ate and drank to his heart's content, and then got up to leave.

After spending the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to shake off the other person, Su Chen changed his clothes, disappeared into the crowd, and returned home.

On the table was a pile of silver, all of which was his earnings over the past two weeks.

"Wei Jie's head is worth 300 taels, the information is worth 20 taels, looting the corpse is worth 39 taels, plus the silver I have on me, totaling 377 taels!"

After counting the silver, Su Chen turned his attention to the manual he had obtained. It was called a manual, but it was really just a few pieces of paper.

After studying it for a while, Su Chen finally learned the name of this secret manual: "Thunderbolt Leg".

This name isn't accurate either; it's something Su Chen saw in the manual's contents, so he gave the manual his own definition.

Even if it's not that name, it should be similar, since he personally experienced Wei Jie's leg skills, which were very strong!

"The order of these papers seems to have been scrambled; it must have been Wei Jie who deliberately rearranged them."

After reviewing it several times, Su Chen concluded that fortunately, only the order was disrupted, not missing. He spent an hour organizing the manual and only breathed a sigh of relief when it was displayed on the panel.

"This technique perfectly compensates for my legwork, not only improving my speed but also enhancing my offensive capabilities. For me, it's a pretty good technique!"

Su Chen thought to himself that with his current level of understanding, he could naturally tell the quality of this technique, and that his strength would increase significantly after mastering it.

"First upgrade Iron Shirt, and if there's any extra, then upgrade Thunder Kick."

After a brief moment of thought, Su Chen made a plan. After recharging 200 taels, Su Chen activated the easy mode, soaked in warm water for half an hour, and upgraded his Iron Shirt skill to the third level.

Panel refresh: [Martial Arts: Iron Shirt - 0 uses (Ultimate Tortoise Shell Technique + 20 Qi and Blood Powder per use)]

This change surprised Su Chen. He didn't expect that the next time he upgraded Iron Shirt, it would revert to Blood and Qi Dispersing and Limit Technique. After a slight surprise, Su Chen felt a little annoyed. If he had known, he would have bought more Red Blood Grass.

"There are only six portions of Red Blood Grass left. I can only make a maximum of six doses of medicine, so there are fourteen doses left. Sigh, I'll have to go to Medicine Town again later."

Su Chen felt somewhat helpless, but ultimately reluctantly accepted it. Since he had already been there once, he didn't care about going a second time. As long as he could become stronger, what was wrong with going a few more times?

"I still have plenty of money left, let's max out the Thunder Kick skill."

Looking at the silver on the table, Su Chen started to spend money on Thunder Kick. The easy mode of Thunder Kick is kicking, which is 50, 100, and 150 kicks. For Su Chen, this is as easy as drinking water, and he completed it in no time.

To master the Thunderbolt Kick technique, gold was required. Su Chen went to the bank and exchanged ten taels of gold, then used that money to push the Thunderbolt Kick to its limit.

Hu Hu Hu.

yard.

Su Chen was testing the power of his Thunderbolt Kick. He kicked out, and a series of whooshing sounds rang out. A blur flashed past his eyes, and then Su Chen withdrew his leg.

Su Chen was very satisfied with the power of the Thunderbolt Kick. In terms of power alone, the Thunderbolt Kick was comparable to the combination of Iron Sand Palm and Iron Wire Fist, but in terms of speed, the Thunderbolt Kick was obviously superior.

"Next, let's test the power of the third layer of Iron Shirt!" Su Chen said with a hint of anticipation, feeling the increasing strength within his body.
