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

Chapter 145 Send you on your way!
Place your order.

payment.

Purchase successful.

But soon, Jiang He became uneasy.

"A single drop of the Golden-Armored Tortoise King's essence blood costs 2.8 million, which is no small sum... What if it doesn't work well after we buy it?"

2.8 million.

You can buy 1400 Bone Tempering Pills.

It is enough to increase the force by 14 kilograms.

Jiang He is considering whether or not to return the goods...

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Jiang He got up and opened the door.

Outside the door stood two men in black trench coats.

One of them showed Jiang He their identification and asked, "Are you Mr. Jiang He? You just placed an order for a drop of Golden Armored Tortoise King's essence blood in our Martial Arts Administration's official online store. We need to verify your identity before we can sign for the delivery."

Jiang He: "???"

So you're playing this game?
I was still considering whether to return the item, and you just delivered it to my house?
After muttering a few complaints to himself, Jiang He took out his ID card.

Since it's already been delivered, let's give it a try first.

"Identity verification successful."

The man in the black trench coat returned the ID card with both hands and smiled, "Mr. Jiang, please don't be offended. Verifying identity is a standard procedure of our Martial Arts Administration. Actually, with your current reputation, we all know you."

"Oh?"

As Jiang He signed the papers, he laughed and said, "Am I that famous now?"

"Of course!"

The man in the black trench coat said, "At only 20 years old, you can overwhelm the younger generation... Even Grandmaster Ilham of Xijiang Base City said that you are not just a Grandmaster, but even surpass a Grandmaster."

After Jiang He finished signing the document.

The man in the black trench coat handed Jiang He a small alloy box.

Jiang He opened the box and found a glass test tube inside. Inside the test tube was a drop of golden blood, which was wrapped in a special plastic membrane, somewhat resembling "cod liver oil".

This membrane is to prevent the energy in the essence and blood from leaking out.

Glass test tubes offer double protection.

Even if that membrane is damaged, it will ensure that the power of this drop of essence will not dissipate.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang."

The man in the black trench coat took out another box and said, "This is the remaining stock of the Bone Tempering Pills you bought last time, a total of 620 pills. We transferred them from headquarters. Please take a look."

The goods have been received.

After watching the two men in black trench coats leave, Jiang He locked the door and went to the sofa.

He put away all the Bone Tempering Pills.

Including the 50 he still had, Jiang He now had 670 Bone Tempering Pills.

He planned to keep a batch of these Bone Tempering Pills to replenish his "blood and qi loss" when the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique was unleashed later. As for the rest... he would leave them for a few days and consume them later.

Let's hold off for a bit!
no way.

Jianghe has been taking Bone Tempering Pills every day for the past few days, and he's almost vomiting from it.

Even after a full burp, my mouth still tasted of bone-strengthening pills.

Jiang He's gaze fell on that drop of "Golden Armored Tortoise King" blood essence.

The Golden-Armored Tortoise King evolved from the "tortoise".

The "land tortoise" is known for its strong defense.

The Golden-Armored Tortoise, which has evolved into a ferocious beast, has almost invincible defense among ferocious beasts of the same level. Ordinary ferocious beasts of the same level can hardly even break through its shell!

The reason it is named "Golden Armor" is because the ferocious beast "Golden Armored Tortoise" is uniquely endowed with the power of metal after advancing to the seventh rank. They do not use this power to attack, but to defend!

High-grade Golden-Armored Tortoises continuously absorb the metal elemental power of heaven and earth, integrating it into their shells and even their flesh, making their defenses stronger and stronger!

And one can imagine how formidable the defense of the King-level Golden Armored Tortoise King is!

"I hope this drop of Golden-Armored Tortoise King's essence blood will not disappoint me."

Snapped!
Jiang He crushed the test tube, took out the drop of golden blood wrapped in special plastic, and gently put it into his mouth.

click!
The plastic diaphragm ruptured.

The golden blood splattered into his mouth.

A strong, metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.

As Jiang He swallowed the essence blood of the Golden-Armored Tortoise King, he felt as if a volcano had erupted within his body. A terrifying power surged forth from the essence blood, impacting his limbs and bones!

A king-level ferocious beast is equivalent to the Martial Arts Celestial Realm!
The essence blood of a king-level ferocious beast is the condensation of its life source, and one can imagine how enormous the energy contained within it is!

Under normal circumstances.

Only grandmasters with a certain level of strength have the ability to refine the blood essence of king-level ferocious beasts!
The essence blood of various king-level ferocious beasts is now an extremely important cultivation resource in any country on Blue Star... For a grandmaster, being able to refine a few drops of king-level ferocious beast essence blood is equivalent to saving a year of arduous cultivation!
If an ordinary body-refining martial artist dared to swallow the essence blood of a king-level ferocious beast at Jiang He's level, he would probably explode and die instantly.

Fortunately, rivers have a "special constitution".

Almost the instant that drop of blood essence unleashed its power...

It will be absorbed!

"Ding!"

"Consuming essence blood increases strength by 5000kg."

A system notification sounded in his mind, and Jiang He could clearly feel the increase in his strength, as well as the growth of his qi, blood, and physique!

This is the effect of increased power!
He sat cross-legged on the ground, carefully sensing the changes in his body.

I noticed that my skin seemed to have turned a little golden...

The gold was so faint that it was almost invisible.

"wrong!"

"It seems there's a hint of gold in my flesh and blood!"

"Is the change caused by the properties of the Golden-Armored Tortoise King's blood essence?"

Jiang He licked his lips.

If that's the case... then the 2.8 million was well spent!

If all 2.8 million were exchanged for Bone Tempering Pills, the power increase would indeed be more than twenty times that of the Golden Armored Tortoise King's essence blood. However, I don't need that much power, as my physical body can no longer keep up with the burst of power at its limit!
We must also improve our physical strength.

Strength and physique.

Grab it with both hands, both hands must be hard!
When the time comes, you can unleash your full potential however you want!

Rivers circulate qi and blood.

I discovered that my blood and qi also had a faint golden hue.

He drew his sword, wanting to test his defense, but then he thought again…

In the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

So he picked up his knife, went out the door, found Tian Jie who hadn't gone to watch the game that day, and said, "Brother Tian, ​​could you do me a small favor?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Jie immediately laughed and said, "Brother Jiang, if you ask, I'll help you no matter how small the favor is, even if it's ten or a hundred times over... So, what is it?"

Jiang He shoved the S-grade Shadow Alloy Battle Blade into Tian Jie's hand and said, "Brother Tian... come on, slash me with your blade."

Tian Jie: "..."

Urged on by Jiang He, Tian Jie cautiously slashed Jiang He with his knife.

Zheng!
A faint clanging sound of metal striking metal rang out. Jiang He's clothes were torn at the chest, but not a single white mark was left on his skin. He ripped off his shirt and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you're a half-step Grandmaster, and you only have this much strength?"

"Come!"

"Go ahead and chop! With your skills, you can't hurt me!"

"!!!"

Tian Jie was, after all, one of the best among the younger generation. These hurtful words made his eyes redden instantly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine...fine, I want to see if Ni Jianghe's physique is really as powerful as the rumors say!"

He channeled his inner energy, unleashed his sword intent, and slashed down with all his might!

Zheng!
Tian Jie's strike felt as if he had cut into solid steel.

The immense recoil caused his hand holding the knife to shatter, and the S-grade Shadow Alloy battle knife was knocked out of his hand, spinning twice in the air before embedding itself in the wall.

Jiang He lowered his head and looked at his chest.

But then I noticed that there was a small scratch on the skin of his chest.

The broken skin was red and it looked like blood was seeping out...

Jiang He rubbed his thumbs together twice.

The blood droplets disappeared, and the small tear in the skin healed.

Tian Jie stared in disbelief, exclaiming, "Holy crap... is this even human?"

Jiang He, on the other hand, seemed somewhat disappointed and sighed, "It seems my expectations were too high... A mere drop of Golden Armored Tortoise King's essence blood has limited effect. My physical body is still too weak. Even a half-step Grandmaster can break through my defenses. If I were to encounter a true Grandmaster, wouldn't he be able to injure me with a single strike if I stood still?"

He returned to his room and ordered six more drops of the essence blood of the Golden-Armored Tortoise King.

Of the 21.3 billion yuan he had, only a little over 5000 million yuan remained.

Order completed.

A phone call came in; it was from the Martial Arts Administration Bureau. She said, "Mr. Jiang, you just ordered 6 drops of Golden Armored Tortoise King Essence Blood from our Martial Arts Administration Bureau's official website store, right?"

"Here's the thing... We found that your location is at the XXXX Hotel in Jiangnan Base City."

"There is currently only one drop of Golden Armored Tortoise King's essence blood left in the Jiangnan Base City. We will send someone to deliver that drop to you shortly. We will transfer the remaining 5 drops from headquarters to you. It will be delivered to your door in three days at most."

Jiang He had no objection to this, but urged them to hurry up.

hang up the phone.

A short while later, the second drop of the Golden-Armored Tortoise King's essence blood was delivered to the hotel.

"Ding!"

"Consuming essence blood increases strength by 5000 kg."

Refine the essence and blood.

Jiang He discovered that his physique seemed to have become stronger, and when he exerted force, faint golden light would appear on his body.

The remaining 5 drops of essence blood cannot be delivered in the short term.

Jiang He wasn't in a hurry.

He eats on time and takes his medicine regularly, and his daily basic strength of 230kg has not been neglected.

After mastering the basic strength, Jiang He would take time to practice the "method of condensing qi and blood," while pondering Shui Qianyun's words, "the mind and intention unite, the intention and qi unite, and the qi and strength unite," but unfortunately, he could never comprehend them.

Furthermore, he did not abandon his cultivation of the second level of the Great Sage Fist.

soon.

Ten days have passed.

The time came on September 10th.

The martial arts tournament has reached the fifth round of elimination matches.

Now, all participants from the Western Xia have been eliminated...

Unlike in the past, no one from the Xixia Base City won a place this time, but everyone had a smile on their face and showed no sign of disappointment. In particular, when they were in front of Jiang He, they all behaved with great respect!
No matter how many years older they are than Jiang He, they always call Jiang He "Brother Jiang" as soon as they meet.

On the afternoon of June 10th.

The remaining 5 drops of "Golden-Armored Tortoise King's Essence Blood" were delivered.

After finishing his dinner, Jiang He returned to his room and refined the five drops of blood essence one by one.

His strength has been greatly enhanced. With a total of 7 drops of Golden Armored Tortoise King's essence blood and the improvement of his basic attributes over the past three days, his physical strength has reached 30 kilograms, which is not far from the power of the Three Dragons.

That day at 10pm.

Jiang He, who had just returned from a night run, was summoned to Shui Qianyun's room by Yun Yanchen.

Inside Shui Qianyun's room, all 12 participants from Xixia were present.

Including Jiang He, there are 13 young people.

"Is everyone here?"

Shui Qianyun asked a question and then said, "Everyone, pack your things. We'll set off early tomorrow morning to return to Xixia."

"what?"

Tian Jie said, "Master Shui, the sixth round of the martial arts competition doesn't start until tomorrow... Should we leave before the competition ends?"

Shui Qianyun said, "I just received news that the higher-ups are going to send you young people to Tianmen Pass... Staying here to watch the competition won't be too much of a burden for you. Director Chen's idea is for me to take you back, prepare well, and send you on your way in half a month!"
