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

Chapter 131 The Power of One Dragon!
After feeding Jiang He that "little grass", Qin Jiuzhou's attention was entirely focused on Jiang He!
He "saw" that the little grass transformed into a pure energy the moment it entered the river's digestive system.

That energy spread, flowing through the limbs, flesh, bones, skin, and even internal organs of the river, and then... was absorbed by the river!

This strengthened Jianghe's physical body, boosted his blood and energy, and greatly increased his strength!

The whole process was unremarkable.

This is the process by which body-refining martial artists cultivate and temper their bodies.

However, for ordinary body-refining martial artists, this is a relatively long process. Even if they take elixirs or certain spiritual plants or herbs, they still need to slowly refine them to gradually absorb the energy and use it to temper their physical body!
"The Heavenly Yin Grass grows by absorbing the power of the moon and stars. By the standards of our Great Xia, it is already considered a top-tier spiritual plant, not far from being a spirit of plants."

"It would take a martial arts grandmaster three to five days to fully refine and absorb the power of the Heavenly Yin Grass!"

But the river...

Three seconds!
Qin Jiuzhou secretly changed his mind, and his gaze toward Jiang He became even more ardent!

Special physical constitution... special physical constitution?
Could it be that Jiang He truly possesses some unknown constitution, allowing him to rapidly refine elixirs and similar substances to enhance his power?
Seeing Jiang He staring at him longingly, still wanting to eat the "grass," Qin Jiuzhou laughed and said, "This Heavenly Yin Grass is a top-grade spiritual plant, not an ordinary weed. Where would I get so many?"

"but……"

Qin Jiuzhou flipped his hand over again.

A pill appeared in his palm.

The pill was about the size of a quail egg, and its entire body was jade white. It looked crystal clear, and there were concentric circles of pill patterns on its surface.

As soon as the pill was taken out, Jiang He smelled a peculiar medicinal fragrance.

"What...what kind of medicine is this?"

Jiang He pursed his lips, his Adam's apple bobbing, and said, "It looks delicious!"

Qin Jiuzhou said, "This is a Thousand-Year Jade Marrow Pill. I found it on the corpse of a powerful alien. This pill is very valuable. Normal martial artists can improve their cultivation by taking it, while body-refining martial artists can strengthen their bodies and increase their strength by taking it. This one Thousand-Year Jade Marrow Pill is worth more than three Heavenly Yin Grasses!"

Qin Jiuzhou handed the "Millennium Jade Marrow Pill" to Jiang He and said, "Here, try it."

Jiang He didn't even think before popping it into his mouth.

The pill was smooth and bouncy; when you put it in your mouth and chewed it gently, it burst open with a "pop".

It contains a milky white liquid splashing out.

One drop even trickled down the corner of Jianghe's mouth.

Jiang He wasn't about to waste it; with a swift motion of his tongue, he scooped up a drop of milky white liquid and swallowed it with a gulp.

Jiang He smacked his lips and said, "It has a slightly fishy smell, but the taste is very refreshing."

A cool sensation traveled down my esophagus into my stomach, and then that cool sensation instantly spread throughout my limbs and bones, reaching every part of my body.

"Ding!"

"Consuming the elixir will increase your strength by 10000 kg!"

The system notification sounded in my mind.

Jiang He felt his blood and qi surge instantly, and his physical strength greatly increased. He subconsciously looked at the system attribute panel, only to find...

The familiar panel, which was originally clear with text, now looks like a computer screen with countless static-like patterns.

Jiang He was shocked and exclaimed, "Holy crap... this medicine is poisonous!"

Qin Jiuzhou sensed the changes in Jiang He's body and was secretly surprised. Upon hearing this, his expression changed, and he quickly reached out and gently patted Jiang He's body.

A surge of heat rushed into Jianghe's body, instantly engulfing his entire body and examining every inch of his flesh and blood.

Qin Jiuzhou frowned and said, "You haven't been poisoned."

Jiang He: "Huh?"

"I think I sensed something wrong!"

The attribute panel, which had been flashing with snowflakes, gradually began to recover.

Name: Jiang He

[Age: 20 years old]

Occupation: Mentally ill patient

Strength: 129470kg

The strength value after the [Strength] column flickered a few more times, the font became distorted and blurred, and it took several seconds to gradually recover, finally turning into... a capital "1"!
"kg" has become "Dragon Power"!
The power of a dragon!
Jiang He's mind was racing with thoughts.

He looked at Qin Jiuzhou and asked, "Brother, may I ask... approximately how many kilograms is the power of a dragon?"

Qin Jiuzhou laughed and said, "The alien races behind Tianmen like to measure a person's strength by the power of dragons and elephants. The power of one dragon is equal to the power of ten elephants, and the power of one elephant is 12500 kilograms."

"The ancient martial arts realm classification did not use the terms 'first grade' and 'second grade' but rather divided martial arts into 'acquired' and 'innate'."

"Among martial artists who have acquired their skills, there are also those who are not first-rate and those who are first-rate. The standard for judging whether a martial artist is first-rate is whether his explosive power can reach the power of an elephant. When a martial artist advances to the innate level, his explosive power can approach the power of five dragons."

The power of one dragon is equal to the power of ten elephants.

The combined power of the five dragons is 625000 kilograms.

Jiang He did some mental calculations and said, "So, the Innate Realm in ancient martial arts is equivalent to a seventh-rank Grandmaster in our Great Xia?"

I'm currently at my peak.

He has just barely reached the threshold of the Grandmaster realm.

After listening to the explanation from the young man in black combat uniform, Jiang He roughly guessed that the system panel must have triggered some mechanism and changed after his strength exceeded 125000 kilograms.

Although the value has become much smaller, there is only one "1".

Can……

The power of one dragon sounds amazing!

Jiang He snapped out of his thoughts, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you for the medicine, brother... By the way, brother, you're a really nice person. I haven't asked you your name yet."

Let's set aside for now what his reasons were for ordering the Earthly Fiends of the Heavenly Demon Sect to "kill" him and test him.

With just that one "Heavenly Shade Grass" and one "Millennial Jade Marrow Pill", he deserves Jiang He's title of "Big Brother"!
Upon hearing this, Jianghe inquired.

A smile involuntarily appeared on Qin Jiuzhou's face.

boy!

I'll scare you to death if I say my name... and you'll keep calling me "Big Brother"!
He straightened his chest and said with a faint smile, "I am Qin Jiuzhou."

"So it's Brother Kyushu! I've heard so much about you!"

Jiang He clasped his hands in a fist salute once more.

His face wore an expression that said, "I've heard so much about you."

In movies, this is how it's always portrayed when martial arts figures meet. Regardless of how famous they are or whether you've heard of them, once they introduce themselves, you have to say "I've heard so much about you"... You can't exactly say, "Qin Jiuzhou? Never heard of him," can you?

That's so rude!
Qin Jiuzhou was stunned.

Seeing Jiang He's expression, he immediately realized what was going on...

That bastard doesn't even recognize himself!
Damn it!
Qin Jiuzhou felt like he'd been screwed over.

Is there anyone in Great Xia who doesn't know Lao Tzu?

Lao Tzu's name appears in textbooks from elementary school to university, doesn't it?
Even when taking the civil service exam every year, there will always be at least two questions related to himself... such as explaining the significance of a certain battle he fought for the development of the Great Xia Dynasty, or his achievements in establishing the Martial Arts Administration Bureau, vigorously promoting martial arts, and making martial arts a part of the "twelve-year compulsory education".

Or perhaps we could redefine the martial arts realms and establish nine ranks of martial arts...

Even kindergarten children, if you ask them who the strongest person in the Great Xia Dynasty is, will most likely be able to say "Qin Jiuzhou".

Can……

This bastard doesn't even recognize himself?
And they even pretended to say "I've heard so much about you"?
Qin Jiuzhou was furious and pinned Jiang He down, giving him a good beating.

Jiang He, enraged by the beating, clutched his head and cried out, "Big brother... stop hitting me, big brother! Ahhhhh... it hurts, it hurts, it hurts... I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

Qin Jiuzhou then stopped.

Jiang He stood up, his face bruised and swollen, and angrily said, "Damn it, why did you hit me? This matter won't be over until we get three or five thousand-year jade marrow pills!"

"Ignorant!" Qin Jiuzhou sneered, "You think I'm just hitting you? Do you know that you've taken too many pills, leaving a lot of impurities in your body? I hit you to help you detoxify. Don't you feel refreshed and energetic now?"

Jiang He: "..."

He tried it.

I'm not sure if I feel comfortable or not, but it's definitely quite painful.

However, Qin Jiuzhou's words seemed to make a lot of sense, and Jiang He didn't know how to refute them, so he could only say, "I forgive you for the sake of that Heavenly Yin Grass and the Thousand-Year Jade Marrow Pill... But I just thought about it, and I can't call you Big Brother."

Qin Jiuzhou's eyes flickered slightly.

Could it be that this kid recognizes me?

Jiang He then said, "To be honest, I have a third brother, a fourth brother, and a fifth brother. They have gone to Tianmen to fight. I am the sixth oldest, so I can only call you Seventh Brother."

"???"

Qin Jiuzhou was somewhat bewildered.

You're the sixth one...

So you have to call me Seventh Brother?

What the hell is that called?

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What about your eldest and second eldest brothers?"

Jiang He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. My third, fourth, and fifth brothers never told me. Maybe they're all dead, or maybe we started grading from the third brother!"

Qin Jiuzhou's lips twitched as he asked, "Where did you meet your previous brother?"

Jiang He: "The hospital... Our Wucheng Anning Mental Health Rehabilitation Center, my third, fourth and fifth brothers and I originally shared a ward, and we became sworn brothers over time... By the way, seventh brother, you just said that you picked up your Millennium Jade Marrow Pill from the corpse of an alien powerhouse behind Tianmen Pass?"

Qin Jiuzhou nodded.

Jiang He looked on with longing and said, "Those alien races behind the Heavenly Gate are quite good; you can find all sorts of things on their corpses."

at this time.

Qin Jiuzhou glanced into the distance and said, "Someone's coming... Alright, I have something to do, I'll leave first, I'll find you for a drink later."

"and many more……"

Jiang He stopped Qin Jiuzhou and said, "Seventh Brother, we don't even have each other's contact information, why are you asking me to drink?"

"Come on, come on..."

"Add me on WeChat... Scan my QR code!"

"........."

Qin Jiuzhou added Jiang He on WeChat with a dark expression, and then...

"Whoosh"!
The person has disappeared!

Jiang He was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "Such speed... It seems my seventh brother is quite capable!"

Licking his lips.

Savoring the taste of the "Millennial Jade Marrow Pill," Jiang He sighed, "What a pity... Seventh Brother is too stingy. If he had given me a few more of these Millennial Jade Marrow Pills, wouldn't I have been able to take off on the spot?"

At this time.

The sound of car horns could be heard in the distance.

Jiang He retrieved a "Di Sha Token" from the ashes of the corpse burned by the Heavenly Demon Sect's Earthly Fiend God, and then took out a new set of clothes from his storage space and put them on...

He had previously fought with ferocious beasts and then engaged in a fierce battle with the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and his clothes had long been shattered to pieces.

finish dressing.

The river returned to the foot of Mount Lulong.

The convoy of "Iron Bull" and his martial arts team also arrived just in time, consisting of four pickup trucks and a 13-meter trailer.

"Jiang He!"

A middle-aged man stepped forward, greeted Jiang He, and shook hands, saying, "I am Li Tie, and my ID on the Wuzhezhijia forum is Tie Niu."

"Hello, Boss Tie Niu!"

Jiang He was very grateful to Tie Niu, saying, "I didn't know anything before, and it's all thanks to your guidance that I would have taken so many detours."

Ah this...

Tie Niu took Jiang He's words as mere politeness and immediately introduced the rest of their martial arts team to Jiang He.

Their martial arts squad is called the "Flying Dragon Martial Arts Squad".

Their captain is named Wang Feilong, a martial artist at the peak of the sixth rank.

The martial arts squad is quite strong overall. Today, just the "second team" alone has more than 20 combat personnel. It is said that there are also a first team and a third team. It is one of the top-ranked martial arts squads in Suzhou City.

The Flying Dragon Warriors were stunned by the sight of the beast corpses scattered all over the ground.

"This is……"

A martial artist exclaimed in surprise, "A sixth-grade mutated ferocious beast, the Crimson-Scaled Jackal..."

The other warriors of the "Flying Dragon Squad" all gathered around, especially Wang Feilong. After a quick inspection, he confirmed that the sixth-grade mutated ferocious beast "Crimson Scale Jackal" had been beaten to death with fists. His gaze towards Jiang He immediately changed!

The strength of a sixth-grade mutated ferocious beast far exceeds that of an ordinary sixth-grade beast, and it can even be compared to a half-step grandmaster!

Jiang He's ability to kill the "Crimson Scaled Jackal" amidst so many ferocious beasts demonstrates that he already possesses the strength to kill someone at the half-step Grandmaster level!

The 10% commission rate had already been agreed upon.

The Flying Dragon Warriors team offered to forgo payment, hoping to befriend Jiang He and do him a favor. Jiang He refused, saying, "I can't take away 10% of the commission. You all earn your money through hard work... Besides, so many brothers left their wives and children behind in the middle of the night. How can I explain to my wife if I don't get paid?"

"There are quite a few ferocious beast corpses, so you can collect them slowly. I'm going to cultivate now."

Jianghe arrived at Mount Lulong.

He found a flat spot and began practicing the second level of the Great Sage Fist.

It wasn't until after noon the next day that the Flying Dragon Warriors team finished collecting all the ferocious beast materials. The entire corpse of the sixth-grade mutated ferocious beast, the "Red Scale Jackal," was carried onto the vehicle.

Jiang He still had some packed food left in his storage ring. He had breakfast and lunch in the wilderness, took his medicine, and finished his morning run and post-lunch exercise. After that, he hitched a ride with the Flying Dragon Warriors team back to Jiangnan Base City!
The first round of the National Youth Martial Arts Competition is still ongoing today. Although Yun Yanchen has already "finished" the first round, he still went to watch the competition today.

Jiang He returned to the hotel, took a shower, and then went downstairs.

"Anyway, I'm bored..."

"Let's go see what's going on..."

I hailed a taxi.

Jiang He arrived at the competition venue.

He was accompanying Yun Yanchen to "watch the game," so he naturally had the right to enter the venue.

As Jiang He entered the venue through the passageway, he had just made his appearance...

"Look!"

"Jiang He!"

A reporter called out, and immediately countless eyes turned to look. Reporters swarmed over, and even the on-site director focused the camera on Jiang He.

On the arena, two martial artists exchanged a single blow and each took two steps back.

"How to do?"

"Should we still fight?"

"What's the point of fighting... The director has moved the camera away. Wait a bit... until the camera comes back before you fight!"

PS: Thank you to Qian Shixian for the 500 Qidian Coins reward!
PS: I checked and found that the strength of one dragon is equal to 125000 jin, which is a bit too weak, so this book sets the strength of one dragon to be equal to 125000 kilograms!
