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

Chapter 127 The Strongest Person in Great Xia, Qin Jiuzhou!
Hong Wanli blinked.

His insight was even sharper than Zhao Feng's, a ninth-rank grandmaster; he saw it at a glance...

The river is truly weak!
Shui Qianyun said angrily, "Director Hong, Jiang He has arrived. What instructions do you have?"

Hong Wanli stood up and said, "I didn't expect Jiang He to be so badly injured... This was something I didn't consider carefully. The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique is an explosive secret technique. Even if Jiang He has a special physique, how could he possibly be completely without any aftereffects?"

He approached Jiang He, placed his hand on Jiang He's chest, and channeled his inner energy into Jiang He, intending to heal him.

Jiang He only felt...

Inside one's own body.

It felt like a stream of heat was shooting in.

then……

The heat "exploded" and dissipated without a trace.

"Cough cough cough."

"Director Hong... there's no need to waste... waste my vital energy. My meridians and dantian are completely destroyed, so my vital energy is useless to me."

The river appeared very weak.

He often pauses several times before finishing a sentence, and then he breathes heavily, as if he has expended a great deal of energy.

After catching his breath, Jiang He said again, "Director Hong... there's no need to worry. We body-refining martial artists don't have many advantages, but we are physically strong. This little injury should be able to heal if I go back to bed and stay there for thirty to fifty days."

"Yanchen... help me up."

Yun Yanchen immediately stepped forward and helped Jiang He up.

Jiang He, trembling slightly, clasped his hands and said, "Director Hong, farewell."

He gives the impression that a gust of wind could blow him over.

Hong Wanli helped him up and said, "After you get back, take good care of your injuries. If you need anything, just let me know, and my Jiangnan Base City will definitely meet your needs."

"Thank you so much, Director Hong."

I said thank you.

With Yun Yanchen's help, Jiang He, his legs trembling, slowly left the conference room.

"Humph!"

Shui Qianyun snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Director Hong..."

An employee of the Jiangnan Base City Martial Arts Administration Bureau was about to speak when Hong Wanli stopped him with a look.

After waiting a few minutes until he was sure Shui Qianyun had really left, Hong Wanli said, "Tell me, what happened?"

That staff member was one of Hong Wanli's subordinates.

He was also one of the main people in charge of the specific matters of this martial arts competition. He was an A-level Awakener. He said, "Director Hong, I request that the brothers in the intelligence department intervene and thoroughly investigate this matter... Being able to kidnap a half-step grandmaster silently, no matter what the reason, is an extremely terrifying thing!"

They were able to kidnap Xie Kun.

That way, they could kidnap the other contestants...

If the cause is not found out, I'm afraid everyone will be in a state of panic.

"Investigate my ass!"

Hong Wanli cursed, "This must have been done by Jiang He. Xie Kun, a dignified half-step Grandmaster, would he mistake someone else for someone else?"

"what?"

The staff member was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Jiang He, in his current state, could possibly kidnap a half-step Grandmaster?"

The way he looked.

The ball is almost dead!
Let alone a half-step grandmaster, even an ordinary person could probably kill him!
Hong Wanli said, "Jiang He's situation is indeed not a pretense, but I always feel that there is something strange about this matter... If Jiang He really did not do this, given Shui Qianyun's personality, how could she let Zhao Feng leave so easily if he dared to frame Jiang He?"

"And the fact that she just snorted and left shows that she has something to hide."

"Go to the intelligence department and have them check the surveillance footage near the Red Romantic Bath Center... By the way, especially the alley behind the club. A shop across the alley has installed its own surveillance camera, so it should be able to capture that area."

"........."

The staff member's eyes flickered slightly, and his admiration for Hong Wanli intensified!

Check it out!

This is the top official of our Jiangnan Base City!

How dedicated!

He even knows the layout of the back alley of a small bathhouse by heart. With such a leader, my Jiangnan Base City will surely develop even better!

…………

And rivers.

With Yun Yanchen's help, he returned to the hotel.

Seeing Jiang He like this, Yun Yanchen felt extremely distressed. She told Jiang He to sit down on the sofa and hurriedly ran to pour him some water, saying as she did so, "Why are you torturing yourself like this?"

"And Xie Kun... He's practiced martial arts for many years, it hasn't been easy for him, why did you tie him up..."

"Forehead?"

Turning around, I saw Jiang He grabbing a handful of pills and stuffing them into his mouth.

then……

Jiang He's weak breathing quickly recovered, and his emaciated figure returned to normal.

Yun Yanchen's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

"Ding!"

"Swallow the pill, strength +10Kg".

"Ding!"

"Swallow the pill, strength +10kg".

"Ding……"

Before the system notification in his mind had finished ringing, Jiang He stood up, took the water from Yun Yanchen's hand, and laughed, "Didn't I say I would help you win the championship? ... I tied up all your opponents, preventing them from going on stage, so you can naturally advance all the way."

Yun Yanchen: "???"

"good idea!"

Sudden.

Shui Qianyun's voice came through.

Jiang He was startled and exclaimed, "Sister Shui...where are you?"

Then I saw...

A puddle of water trickled in through the crack in the door.

The water droplets were crystal clear, and as they flowed, they quickly transformed into the shape of Shui Qianyun. Yun Yanchen was also surprised when she saw this and asked, "Teacher, you can already elementalize your body?"

Shui Qianyun smiled smugly and said, "This is just a little trick that I learned after advancing to S-rank. It's nothing. You'll be able to do it when you advance to S-rank in the future."

Jiang He looked on with curiosity.

He circled around Shui Qianyun.

Unable to resist, he poked Shui Qianyun's shoulder and asked in confusion, "Sister Shui, then...then you've turned into a water person now?"

Shui Qianyun said, "I can only temporarily transform my body into elemental form. After I recover, I will still be a flesh and blood body."

Ah this...

Jiang He found it somewhat incomprehensible.

This is so unreasonable.

Wait… Jiang He blinked and asked again, “Then, Sister Shui, can you only elementalize your body, or can you elementalize your clothes as well…”

If only the body can be elementalized...

So, are the clothes Shui Qianyun is wearing now... a figment of her imagination?
Shui Qianyun could see right through Jiang He's thoughts. She rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, stop overthinking... I think the idea you just mentioned is brilliant. It can help Yan Chen win the championship in one fell swoop and bring glory to our Western Xia!"

No!

Yun Yanchen was both amused and exasperated, saying, "Teacher, please don't make things worse... What's so good about it? Aren't you afraid that doing this will cause public outrage?"

Shui Qianyun sneered, "What's there to be afraid of?"

"If they're capable, they can do that too... As long as it's the younger generation who can wipe you all out, I won't say anything."

"If you ask me, this martial arts competition is becoming less and less interesting."

"What's the point of all these ridiculous rules and restrictions... Back in the first Martial Arts Tournament, that was a real tournament. Once you stepped onto the stage, you were on your own to live or die. Only champions decided in that way could grow into true powerhouses!"

"Bear the consequences of your own life?"

Yun Yanchen was somewhat puzzled and said, "The contestants are all selected from various base cities. The death of any one of them would be a loss for our Great Xia."

"That's why I say your generation has experienced too little; you're no different from flowers in a greenhouse."

Shui Qianyun said, "In this day and age, how difficult is the human living environment?"

"Ferocious beasts, the Heavenly Demon Sect... the alien race behind the Heavenly Gate..."

"In such an environment, what use is a large number of mediocre people?"

"It's a pity that the person in charge has been sitting in Tianmen for more than ten years, and the martial arts competitions in recent years have been getting worse and worse... When we participated in the martial arts competitions back then, there were no grandmasters leading the teams."

Where can I get airport transfer?

"If you want to participate in the competition, you must first cross the wilderness and reach the city where the competition is held alive before you are eligible to register..."

"The martial artists and awakened individuals back then were very hot-tempered."

"They're constantly arranging fights. Before the competition even starts, many of the participants are already injured or disabled."

With a sigh, Shui Qianyun said, "But Yan Chen is right. The rules have changed. All the contestants are being pampered like flowers by their teachers and elders. Although the competition rules do not explicitly state this, it is still inappropriate to do so."

Jiang He, however, did not take it seriously.

Since the competition did not stipulate this.

What else is wrong with that?
After seeing Yun Yanchen and Shui Qianyun off, Jiang He went for a night run, bought some late-night snacks, and returned to his room to begin studying the second level of the Great Sage Fist.

"Once the second level of the Great Sage Fist is mastered, it can unleash three times the combat power."

"At that time, my combat power will increase significantly when I am in extreme condition. Even if I encounter an ordinary Grandmaster, I will be able to put up a fight."

While watching the video explanations accompanying the second volume of The Great Sage Fist, Jiang He noted down the tricks. After having a midnight snack at 12 o'clock, he picked up his knife and headed straight for the wilderness.

Practicing boxing in a room is restrictive and restrictive.

Instead of burying yourself in a room and practicing hard, go to the wilderness, find a group of ferocious beasts, and hone your combat skills. The effect will be dozens of times better than practicing hard in your room.

"Director Hong!"

Office of the Director of the Martial Arts Administration Bureau, Jiangnan Base City.

A staff member rushed over and said, "Director Hong, your judgment was correct... I have had the intelligence department retrieve all the surveillance footage near the Honglangman Bath Center, and the surveillance cameras did indeed capture Jiang He before the incident."

"Moreover, the surveillance camera across from that back alley you provided captured the entire process of Jiang He committing the crime..."

"I just received news that Jiang He has already left the city... I think his previous weakness was all an act!"

Hong Wanli glared at his subordinate and said, "What do you mean by 'committing a crime'? Young people are like this, it's normal for them to have some grudges and beat each other up in private. You keep saying 'committing a crime,' making it sound like Jiang He is some kind of criminal."

The staff member was taken aback.

He sensed something different in Hong Wanli's words.

What do you mean?
Is Director Hong trying to protect Jiang He?

then……

He asked cautiously, "Director Hong, Jiang He's actions are clearly disrupting the competition's order... Shouldn't we intervene?"

Hong Wanli said, "He kidnapped Xie Kun to settle a personal score because Xie Kun had insulted him behind his back... How does that affect the order of the competition?"

"But...but we found out that Jiang He placed a huge bet on Yun Yanchen on the Martial Arts Home Forum. I suspect that this kid might be trying to kidnap Yun Yanchen's opponent so that Yun Yanchen can win without a fight, thus manipulating the competition to make money."

Hong Wanli said calmly, "You don't need to worry about this. Just do your job well."

Wait until the staff member leaves.

hum!
Inside the office, the light distorted, and a figure dressed in a black combat suit appeared.

The young man looked to be around 27 or 28 years old, with a buzz cut, about 1.8 meters tall, and had an ordinary aura, like an average person.

however……

His ability to distort light with a flick of his wrist, making it impossible for a seventh-grade grandmaster to detect him even standing half a meter away, is enough to demonstrate his prowess.

As the youth appeared.

Hong Wanli quickly stood up, hurriedly brought over a teapot, and said, "Minister... please sit down."

Pour in the tea.

Hong Wanli presented the teacup with both hands and said, "Please try this... I personally picked this tea from that tree on our old tea mountain in Jiangnan. That old tea tree has improved in strength over the years and has become even more powerful. I almost lost half my life picking this little bit of tea."

The young man took the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Bring me Jiang He's information so I can take a look."

Hong Wanli quickly retrieved Jiang He's information.

After reading the information, the young man couldn't help but laugh and said, "This Jiang He is quite interesting. He can use explosive secret techniques like the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique as if it were commonplace... I didn't expect that after guarding Tianmen for ten years, I would find such a promising talent as soon as I returned. It's just that his style of doing things is a bit strange."

Hong Wanli stood beside the young man and said, "Minister, I've investigated carefully, and I suspect that the boy's behavior might be a lingering effect of the evil poison he was poisoned with years ago, perhaps..."

He pointed to his head and said, "My condition may still be unstable."

Hong Wanli is the top leader of Jiangnan Base City and a martial arts master at the Celestial Realm!
In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there was only one person whom he addressed as "Minister" with such respect...

Qin Jiuzhou, founder of the Martial Arts Administration Bureau and the strongest person in the Great Xia Dynasty!
"minister……"

Hong Wanli asked, "Jiang He does things completely unpredictably. I've checked, and Yun Yanchen is his fiancée; they're engaged... I suspect he might really want to put Yun Yanchen on the champion's throne."

Qin Jiuzhou took a sip of tea and smiled, "As long as he has the ability, then let him be... However, judging from the strength this kid has shown, there probably aren't many of the contestants in this year's competition who can stop him. Go ahead and spread some word about it to put some pressure on this kid."

"I know many of the younger generation in the base cities, and some even more outstanding geniuses, who have either already reached the realm of martial arts grandmasters or are A-level awakeners. Some are in seclusion, while others are serving in the Heavenly Gate."

"Tell the older generation not to make a move... Let these young people fight it out. If no one can stop Jianghe, then pull a few out from behind Tianmen."

brush!
Qin Jiuzhou's figure disappeared from the conference room.

His voice rang in Hong Wanli's ears, saying, "Your tea is quite good. Prepare some for me, I'll come back for it later... I'm going to see this Jiang He."

Hong Wanli's expression shifted slightly.

Minister Qin...

Why do they value rivers so much?
Is this a case of using this generation of outstanding young people as stepping stones for the river?

Or...

Is Minister Qin not satisfied with the martial arts tournament I organized?

Yes!

That must be it!

Otherwise, wouldn't it have been simpler for Minister Qin to give the order and have Jiang He participate in the competition halfway through?
Thinking of this, Hong Wan's expression changed again. He quickly turned on his computer, logged into the Martial Arts Home forum, and posted a message using his alternate account—

[A shocking conspiracy behind the National Youth Martial Arts Competition... Jiang He of Xixia secretly kidnaps Xie Kun, a contestant from the Liaoning Province base city, in order to help his fiancée win the championship!]
