I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 116 Let me see where your limits are?
"........."

Chen Jingzhou hesitated, biting his lip, feeling a slight toothache.

He tried his best to persuade him.

Jiang He on the other end of the phone swore he would never touch the electric fence again, which relieved Chen Jingzhou. He said, "I have already reported your request to my superiors."

"Two portions of earthworm blood each month, until you no longer need them."

"As for the two portions of earthworm blood that were given as a gift, it seems that the Jiangnan Base City has some in stock. Headquarters will negotiate with the Jiangnan Base City to send the earthworm blood to you as soon as possible."

He gave a few more instructions.

Chen Jingzhou then hung up the phone.

But I was very worried.

Once this kid is let out, he'll be like a donkey that's been let off the leash. What if he accidentally angers some young talent and gets injured or crippled?
…………

at the same time.

In the Jiangnan region, there is the city of Suzhou.

Enforcement Team.

As Jiang He signed the guarantee, he muttered to himself, "I just got an electric shock... why did you guys pull the switch?"

The entire city experienced a power outage.

This is no small matter.

But if you don't turn off the power, don't cut off the power... then you won't have to cut off the power, right?
However, Jiang He also knew that these people meant well and were trying to "save" him.

After he signed the guarantee, the enforcement team drove him out of the Martial Arts Administration Bureau, intending to take him to the base city.

Jiang He said, "Brother, there's no need to trouble you... Does your Suzhou city have a night market street? Just drop me off at the night market street, I'll have some late-night snacks, and then I'll run back myself."

Otherwise, the man in the black trench coat escorting Jiang He shook his head and said, "Our captain said that you must be sent to the base city... Our Suzhou city is too small to withstand any trouble."

"........."

Depend on!
I've already signed a guarantee!
What about the most basic trust between people?

And now that I'm covered in charred soot, how am I supposed to get back to the hotel?
How embarrassing would it be if someone I know saw us?

He took out Compound Snow Lotus Ointment and applied it to his body, saying, "Then can you buy me a late-night snack? By the way, brother, can you help me apply this medicine? I can't reach my back by myself."

The black trench coats worn by the Suzhou law enforcement team are quite considerate.

Not only did they apply compound snow lotus ointment to Jianghe, they also bought him a late-night snack.

Eat and drink enough.

"Ding!"

"A balanced diet can increase your strength by 10kg."

Jiang He glanced at the system attribute panel—

Strength: 73370kg

"This trip to Suzhou was not a waste... I gained 3000 kg of strength, which is equivalent to half of the Black Flame Spirit Root."

Jiang He's mind raced with thoughts.

Sitting in the back seat of the car.

Open the car window.

She let the night wind blow against her body, accelerating the absorption of the compound snow lotus ointment.

The two men in black trench coats from the Suzhou City law enforcement team were chatting animatedly.

"By the way, who did you bet on?"

"Li Wanqing!"

"Li Wanqing is quite powerful, but I think she is still a bit inferior to Duanmu Feng... A 24-year-old half-step Grandmaster, and her father is a martial arts genius, so he must have taught her profound martial arts!"

"How much did you bet? 500 million?"

"Listen to my brother, back off now! Bet everything on Duanmu Feng. Even though the odds are low, every little bit helps, right?"

Jiang He couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Brothers, may I interrupt?"

The driver in the black trench coat said impatiently, "Stop!"

Jiang He said, "That Duanmu Feng and Li Wanqing's odds are ridiculously low. Even if you bet millions and win, it's not very meaningful... If you ask me, it's better to find someone with high odds, go all in, and make a fortune in one go!"

The two of them were stunned.

They immediately burst into laughter, and one of them joked, "Then who do you think we should bet on?"

"Clouds, smoke, and dust."

Jiang He said seriously, "Water-type extraordinary awakeners, we Western Xia people... to be honest, I've already bet 8000 million."

The man in the black trench coat in the passenger seat found Yun Yanchen's information and said, "Yun Yanchen... 20 years old? He awakened his extraordinary abilities two years ago? Brother, your money is probably going to go down the drain."

Upon hearing that Jiang He had pledged 8000 million, they were shocked.

The driver in the black trench coat couldn't help but ask, "Brother, just who is this Yun Yanchen? You trust her that much?"

Jiang He said, "I don't believe her, I believe in myself."

The two were stunned again.

You're not even participating.

Do you believe you have any use?
However, considering Jiang He's behavior and the little red book on his body, I felt relieved.

On the road.

Jiang He applied the compound snow lotus ointment twice more.

Just as they were about to enter the Jiangnan base city, Jiang He stopped the car and said, "Brothers, wait a moment..."

He jumped out of the car.

With a surge of energy, the charred, dead skin on his body instantly peeled off, revealing a clean and sturdy body.

"For a body-refining martial artist like me to look so fair and delicate is simply outrageous!"

Jiang He touched his head again and sighed, "What a pity, my newly grown hair has turned into a bald head again... I can take a good look around Jiangnan Base City tomorrow and see if I can get a few wigs."

Not just hair.

His eyebrows were burned off.

However, the eyebrows are not a big problem; I can just have Yun Yanchen draw them on for me.

Jiang He took out a set of clothes from his storage space, then got into the car and said, "You two... let's go."

Jiang He returned to the hotel at 1:30 a.m.

In the room, Tian Jie was not asleep, but was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating.

True Qi circulated around him, and he exuded a faint martial arts essence. Although he had not yet advanced to the half-step Grandmaster realm, the fact that he had already comprehended a trace of martial arts essence meant that he was not far from the "half-step Grandmaster realm".

As one of the 12 people who could represent Western Xia in the competition, Tian Jie must have some skills.

Hearing Jiang He's footsteps, Tian Jie stopped his cultivation, stood up, and asked with a smile, "Brother Jiang, are you out shopping?"

"Ah."

Jiang He replied.

He found the suit he had left in the room and put it, along with his ID card, into his storage space.

The two weren't familiar with each other. After a few awkward words, Tian Jie resumed his cultivation.

Jiang He then took out the Shadow Battle Blade and began practicing his swordsmanship.

Since I have nothing to do at night and can't fall asleep anyway, I might as well practice a little longer. Maybe I can find the secret to integrating the "hidden strength" of the Great Sage Fist into my swordsmanship?

A gust of wind blew.

Seeing Jiang He slashing at the air repeatedly without making any other movements, Tian Jie asked curiously, "Brother Jiang, what kind of swordsmanship are you practicing? Why do you keep slashing?"

Jiang He was a little embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "Brother Tian is joking... I am a body-refining martial artist, how could I know anything about swordsmanship? I just wanted to try to integrate the hidden force of the Great Sage Fist into my swordsmanship."

"Great Sage Fist..."

Tian Jie thought for a moment and said, "Brother Jiang, have you practiced the Great Sage Fist? Are you already able to spread the hidden energy of the Great Sage Fist throughout your body?"

Jiang He nodded.

Tian Jie asked in surprise, "Since you can spread internal energy throughout your body, it shouldn't be difficult to integrate it into your swordsmanship. Brother Jiang, I also practice swordsmanship and have already cultivated a trace of sword intent... If you don't mind, could you tell me about what it feels like when you practice swordsmanship?"

Jiang He's eyes lit up.

They immediately took out a dozen beers from their storage space, and the two sat down on the sofa and began to talk about "the way of the sword".

They said it was a discussion...

Actually, most of the time Tian Jie was the one talking, and Jiang He was the one listening.

He would occasionally chime in with a question, usually to address his own doubts.

Gradually, Jiang He had a sudden realization and said, "Brother Tian, ​​do you mean that I don't need to force myself to pursue the state of perfect harmony between man and sword, but only need to make the sword as easy to use as an extension of my own arm?"

Tian Jie nodded and said, "For swordsmanship, this method is a trick, but Brother Jiang, you are a body cultivator. Your physical body is the most important thing. There is no need to care about these trivial details."

As for how to master the sword to the point of being able to control it as easily as one's own arm...

This brings us back to the issue of "weapons being an extension of the hands and feet".

Tian Jie is indeed a man of strong emotions.

The only problem is that he has a very low alcohol tolerance.

After drinking five bottles of Xixia X5 liquor, he became somewhat drunk. He slammed his hand on the coffee table, stood up, and said, "Brother Jiang, swordsmanship is honed through practice and honed in real combat!"

"The night is long, and I can't sleep anyway, how about we take a trip into the wilderness?"

"Besides, what kind of sword practice are you doing in a hotel room... You're too restricted, you can't even use your full strength properly, how can you integrate internal energy?"

"go!"

"Go to the wilderness, and I'll teach you how to use your sword!"

I rub!

He's a peak sixth-rank expert, almost a half-step grandmaster.

You're already slightly drunk from such a small amount of beer?
Jiang He said, "Brother Tian's words are exactly what I was thinking... Let's go out and see how the ferocious beasts of Jiangnan compare to those of our Western Xia."

The two left the hotel arm in arm.

I flagged down a taxi and got in.

As soon as Jiang He got into the carriage, he drew his sword and said, "Master, take me to the outskirts of the city..."

"you again?"

The taxi driver was startled and exclaimed, "Brother, why are you going out again? Wait...you're not dead, are you?"

Jiang He recognized the taxi driver.

It was the same person who had escorted him out of the city earlier. He cursed, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me outside the city for a while? How come you ran away while I was getting an electric shock... Alright, escort us out of the city."

Out of the city.

Please settle the previous fares together.

Get out of the car.

Tian Jie let out a few loud shouts, shouldered his battle sword, and headed straight for the depths of the wilderness.

Since it was Jianghe's first time in the wilderness of Jiangnan, he was afraid of getting lost, so he followed closely behind Tian Jie. This guy was agile and fast, and in just over half an hour he had covered 100 kilometers and entered a ruined city.

Sudden.

Tian Jie stopped in his tracks.

He shivered, looked around, and listened to the distant roars of ferocious beasts. He exclaimed, "Holy crap... Where am I? Brother Jiang, how did I get here?"

"???"

Jiang He was shocked and said, "No... Brother Tian, ​​what are you doing? Didn't you bring me here?"

Tian Jie slapped himself hard across the face.

"Brother Jiang..."

"You shouldn't have made me drink!"

"I get confused when I drink... Master Shui said in the meeting today that during the National Youth Martial Arts Competition, no contestant can run around without her permission."

"If Master Shui finds out about this, I'm finished."

Jiang He: "..."

Seeing Tian Jie's flustered expression, he could only comfort him, "Brother Tian, ​​we've already come all this way... Besides, we came to the wilderness to kill ferocious beasts, practice our swordsmanship, and improve our strength."

Tian Jie sighed, "That's all we can do."

He glanced around and said—

"There aren't many ferocious beasts in this ruined city, so it's relatively safe... Brother Jiang, draw your sword and let me see your swordsmanship. Only in this way can I point out the shortcomings in your swordsmanship."

Jiang He drew his sword and attacked.

With one hand holding the knife, Tian Jie easily deflected all of Jiang He's attacks.

"Too slow, too slow!"

"Moreover, the swordplay lacks momentum and power... and the moves are completely disorganized!"

Tian Jie said sternly, "Jiang He, show me your full strength... spar with me, what are you still holding back for?"

"Do you really think you can hurt me?"

"Come!"

"Let me see where your limits are."

Jiang He was forced back by Tian Jie's knife.

He steadied himself and looked at Tian Jie. Tian Jie was surrounded by a bright yellow aura of true energy, and his sword intent was rising. The battle sword in his hand gleamed with a cold light under the enhancement of true energy and sword intent. He looked like a war god who had stepped out of a painting, full of imposing presence!

This……

Is he one of the twelve strongest young people selected from the entire Western Xia?
It’s really amazing!
"In that case..."

boom!
Jiang He's blood and qi surged, then burst into flames, his aura instantly escalating as he said in a deep voice, "As you wish!"

"no!"

"Brother, wait a minute..."

Tian Jie panicked. "I told you to use all your strength, not to fight to the death, damn it!"
