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

"How to artificially create a beast tide... I still need to go to the base city and find Ding Zhaoyi."

"But before that, I need to test my current physique to see how much explosive power it can withstand!"

This is crucial and must be understood.

When Jiang He sparred with Liu Feng at Tianmen Pass, his basic physical strength was only 25 Dragon Force, and even at his maximum burst, it was only 375 Dragon Force. He was unharmed by that punch, but now his basic physical strength has increased to 32 Dragon Force!
Next, it will quickly increase to 40 Dragon Power!
He must ensure that his physique can withstand the most extreme bursts of power.

Otherwise, if you enter the [White Horse Mystic Light Heaven], you might not even kill the disciples of the Other Heaven Holy Sect and the Crimson Blood Tower, but instead explode with one punch, making you a laughing stock!

Jiang He took the medicine.

Then he popped a few sprigs of *Heliotropium indicum* into his mouth and walked to the parking lot behind the inpatient department.

Unlike other hospitals.

The parking lot at the mental hospital has relatively few vehicles; it's almost entirely occupied by doctors and nurses.

Jiang He stood in the center of the parking lot, got into position, took a deep breath, and was about to test his "limits" when suddenly...

"Jiang He!"

Dean An's voice came from the gym. He was exercising on the equipment when he saw Jiang He and walked over, saying, "I heard from the hospital that you were back, but I didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to actually come back!"

Before Jiang He could speak, Dean An added, "By the way, I saw you striking a pose just now... were you about to practice your boxing?"

Jiang He nodded.

Dean An looked pleased and said, "Not bad, you've become more sensible after going out for a while... You even know to practice boxing outside now, that's good. Remember not to practice boxing in the dormitory in the future, or you might damage the dormitory."

Jiang He slapped his forehead and said, "Dean, I almost forgot! You can't practice boxing in the hospital!"

"Of course you can practice, why can't you?"

Dean An glared at him and said, "As long as you don't practice your boxing in the ward, inside the building, or on the rooftop, you can do whatever you want anywhere else... That's what I said!"

Jiang He: "Is that really true?"

Dean An thumped his thin chest loudly: "Of course, within this small area of ​​the Anning Mental Health Rehabilitation Center, I, the dean, still have the authority to make decisions... What are you doing?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang He's entire body was enveloped in a crimson glow!
boom!
The scorching heat, mixed with the burst of energy from the explosion of blood and qi, sent Dean An flying!

While others were in mid-air, they saw Jiang He clench his fist, throw a punch, and blast it towards the sky.

The dean subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Then a blood-red fist shadow shot straight into the sky, tearing apart the white clouds in an instant. A huge, ferocious bird-like beast, which had been hiding behind the clouds and flying over Wu City, suddenly let out a piercing scream...

then……

boom!
It shattered into pieces and exploded!
boom!
Dean An also bumped into the wall, and then slid to the ground with his bottom while still pressed against the wall.

"what……"

Jiang He withdrew his fist and rushed to Dean An: "Dean An, are you alright?"

"Sorry, sorry, I was negligent."

"Ouch..."

"My back... my butt!"

Dean An shouted, "Don't practice boxing in the hospital... whatever you do, don't practice boxing in the hospital, do you hear me?"

Jiang He quickly agreed, saying, "Dean, please don't say anything. I'll take you to the hospital first."

After taking Dean An to the orthopedics department of the neighboring Wucheng People's Hospital for an examination and X-ray, Jiang He found that Dean An was fine. He then took him back to the hospital and hailed a taxi to go to the base city.

"what!"

"Mr. Jianghe?"

As soon as Jiang He got into the taxi, he was recognized.

Jiang He recognized the driver as the one who had run him over before, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Sir, we really are destined to meet... Shall we go to the base city?"

"Go, of course!"

The driver laughed and said, "Although I'm just an ordinary person, with Mr. Jiang in the car, what do I have to be afraid of?"

The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties.

Very talkative.

Like many ordinary people, he once dreamed of becoming a martial artist, but due to limitations in his own aptitude and talent, he was unable to embark on this path.

"But my son is very talented."

“He is currently a senior at Wucheng No. 3 Middle School. He is in the top 20 in academic subjects and ranks among the top in martial arts. Last week, I paid for him to take the martial arts assessment at the Martial Arts Administration Bureau. His punching power is already 880kg, his nerve reaction speed is qualified, and his 100-meter burst speed is close to the martial arts standard.”

The driver's face beamed with smiles when he talked about his son.

They left Wucheng.

After driving for about forty or fifty miles, Jiang He looked outside and noticed a small hill in the distance. He immediately said, "Master... can we stop the car for a bit? I have something to take care of, I'll have to wait a few minutes..."

Jiang He got out of the car, and in a flash, he ran towards the small hill.

The driver also got out of the car.

He thought Jiang He was going to relieve himself and shouted, "Mr. Jiang, there's no need to go that far... just find a bush by the roadside and hide behind it to do your business..."

But the river has already flown far away.

Where can you hear his words?

The driver turned his head and looked around. Seeing that there were no ferocious beasts around, he was relieved.

It's a wilderness area after all.

Although the road from the Acropolis to the base city is regularly "cleaned" by relevant departments, what if one or two fish slip through the net?
Light a cigarette.

The driver was about to go back to his car to wait.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" was heard, followed by a violent tremor, as if an earthquake had occurred!
He turned his head sharply and saw that the small mountain in the distance had suddenly exploded, with all sorts of boulders, pebbles, and flying sand scattering in the air...

Jiang He ran back, glanced at the dumbfounded driver, and said, "Let's go!"

The driver snapped out of his daze, got into the car, started the engine, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Jiang, that mountain we just saw..."

Jiang He: "I destroyed it... My strength has improved recently. I saw that small hill and was tempted to go and try it out. Did I scare you?"

Driver: "..."

He found his heart completely still, but for some reason he wanted to light a cigarette... The cigarette he had just smoked had fallen outside.

It's just blowing up a mountain, right?
What is this?
In the documentary clips released by the Martial Arts Administration and the promotional videos produced by various martial arts academies every year, aren't those powerful figures all capable of flying through the air and easily slicing off a mountain with a single sword strike?

but……

The taxi driver couldn't help but recall his first encounter with Jiang He.

That day I was working the night shift.

I just dropped someone off at Wucheng People's Hospital, and when I passed the Wucheng Anning Mental Health Rehabilitation Center, Jiang He stopped me... He even forced me at knifepoint to take him out of town! What a jerk...

What a beautiful encounter!

The taxi driver smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, my child is almost there to pass the martial arts assessment. Do you have any suggestions or guidance?"

"I?"

Jiang He gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying, "Strictly speaking, I'm not really a martial artist. I'm just a body cultivator. At most, my strength is only slightly greater than that of an ordinary person..."

He paused for a moment, then added, "However, the path of a martial artist is nothing more than diligent study and hard training, and of course, cultivation resources are also very important."

When it comes to spiritual practice resources...

Jiang He suddenly remembered that he still had a bottle of "Qi and Blood Pills" left over from the purchase. He immediately searched through his storage ring and said, "This is the bottle of Qi and Blood Pills I have left over. It's useless to me now, but your son is a beginner in martial arts, so it's perfect for him to build a foundation."

"His punching power is already close to the standard for martial arts assessment. He should be able to reach it after taking this bottle of Qi and Blood Pill."

…………

Around 6 p.m., the taxi entered the Xixia base city.

"Master, let's find a place to eat first, and then go to the Martial Arts Administration Bureau."

Dinner is not to be missed.

This is one of the essential attributes that you must check every day.

I randomly picked a restaurant and ordered two servings of knife-cut noodles.

While waiting for the noodles, Jiang He first ate three "Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pills", and then took out the Tianyin Grass and ate it.

The driver exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Jiang... why are you eating grass?"

Jiang He explained, "This is not grass, it is the Heavenly Shade Grass, a kind of spiritual creature."

Taxi driver: "That must be very expensive, right?"

Jiang He laughed and said, "It's bound to be expensive, but I didn't spend any money. These Yin Grasses were all given to me by a cow."

One...

ox?
The driver felt as if his worldview had expanded significantly.

"Ding!"

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

"Ding!"

"Rational drug use, strength +10Kg".

After finishing his meal, Jiang He took another dose of "psychiatric medication" before having the taxi driver take him to the Xixia Base City Martial Arts Administration Bureau. There, he met Ding Zhaoyi, Chen Jingzhou's only disciple, in the director's office!
Ding Zhaoyi is quite an extraordinary person.

His talent and aptitude are evident from the fact that he was able to become Chen Jingzhou's disciple.

Three years after he became a disciple of Chen Jingzhou, he was given a "blood kill order" by the Heavenly Demon Sect. At that time, many people thought that Ding Zhaoyi was doomed... Who would have thought that he would turn around and join the Heavenly Demon Sect, and later become one of the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Guardian Generals of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the "Earthly Darkness General".

At the time, major media outlets launched a scathing attack on Ding Zhaoyi, cursing his ancestors for eighteen generations.

Even Chen Jingzhou has faced a lot of criticism, with many people believing that he has poor judgment in judging people.

But I never expected...

Ding Zhaoyi, who had borne the infamy for twelve years, was actually one of the executors of the [Infiltration] plan. Over the years, he had also shown great talent in the Heavenly Demon Sect and received great support from the deceased "leader" of the Heavenly Demon Sect. He cultivated all the way to the peak of the ninth rank and became a high-ranking and powerful Heavenly Gang Guardian God Venerable in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

It's not what I imagined.

Ding Zhaoyi looks very young, probably around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.

His appearance is refined and gentle, giving people a sense of "culture".

"Jiang He!"

Upon seeing Jiang He, Ding Zhaoyi took the initiative to greet him, even giving Jiang He a hard punch on the shoulder, and laughed, "You kid... impressive, you've become famous throughout Tianmen Pass after more than ten years."

Forehead!
Jiang He looked completely bewildered...

This Ding Zhaoyi... seems to know me quite well?

However, after a moment's thought, he understood the key point!

Ding Zhaoyi is Chen Jingzhou's disciple, so he must be very familiar with me!

Upon seeing Jiang He's expression, Ding Zhaoyi couldn't help but laugh, "I almost forgot... you have amnesia. When I became my master's apprentice, you were only five years old. For a while, my master brought you to the base city, and you shared a dormitory with me. Every night, you would only go to sleep if I told you a story, and you wet the bed several times..."

"Cough cough!"

Jiang He quickly coughed a few times and said, "Brother Ding, let's not talk about what happened when we were kids. I came to see you today because I need your help."

Since we're so close...

Jiang He didn't bother beating around the bush. He asked how to "gather the beast tide." Ding Zhaoyi frowned and asked in confusion, "Why would you gather the beast tide? This is no small matter. If it gets out of control, it will inevitably cause unpredictable consequences."

"To hone oneself."

Jiang He laughed and said, "What's more, I'm getting stronger and stronger... I might reach the Vajra Body Refinement Realm someday. As a martial artist, if I can't wipe out a beast tide on my own before I undergo tribulation... that would be too regrettable!"

Ding Zhaoyi was both amused and exasperated, saying, "To wipe out a beast tide all by myself?"

"It's not as simple as you think!"

"Not to mention that every large-scale beast tide is driven by a king-level ferocious beast... There are hundreds of high-grade ferocious beasts in the beast tide alone, including many top-tier mutated ferocious beasts. Any martial artist below the Celestial Realm would appear very pale and powerless when facing the beast tide alone."

The two were chatting.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure rushed into the office.

It was Ding Zhaoyi's "secretary." She was sweet-looking and a sixth-rank martial artist. She hurriedly said, "Director Ding, Guyuan City is requesting reinforcements... Deep in the Guanshan Mountains, ferocious beasts are gathering. In addition, a lightning tribulation erupted deep in the Guanshan Mountains a few days ago, which may have given birth to a new king-level ferocious beast. There will be a beast tide!"

Ding Zhaoyi's expression changed.

Jiang He was overjoyed and laughed heartily, "Speak of the devil, and he appears...and here comes the beast tide!"

He stood up and said, "Brother Ding, take me to Guanshan. I need to stop the beast tide!"

Ding Zhaoyi was extremely frustrated...

When he returned, he already knew that Jiang He had "mental problems," but he never expected the kid to be so crazy. He immediately declared righteously, "No... Guanshan is not like other places; it's too dangerous there!"

"Over the years, Guanshan has given birth to many king-level ferocious beasts, which is something that other ordinary mountain ranges do not have..."

"Moreover, the Black Panther King deep in the Guanshan Mountains has been a king-level ferocious beast for more than ten years, and its strength is now unfathomable. Not to mention, there is also a powerful plant life in the Guanshan Mountains, whose strength is even greater than that of an ordinary king-level ferocious beast!"

Ding Zhaoyi rejected Jiang He's suggestion and gave instructions to his secretary: "Immediately notify experts in various regions to hold an emergency video conference... Contact the military and have them dispatch troops to Guyuan City overnight!"

Guyuan City was one of the garrison cities of the Western Xia base city.

And Guanshan...

Formerly known as "Lushan" or Liupanshan, it is a spur of the northern Qinling Mountains, traversing the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Xixia. Countless ferocious beasts reside within, including many high-level ones. If a beast tide were to erupt over Guanshan, it would be a colossal catastrophe! (End of Chapter)
