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

That night.

Moon stars are rare.

In November, the night air in Wucheng was already quite chilly.

Liu Feng, dressed in a suit and tie, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Wucheng Martial Arts Administration Bureau's office. The window was wide open, yet the cold wind still blew into his face.

He put his hands behind his back and asked, "Has there been any news from Guyuan City yet?"

Behind him.

Zhou Tong brought over a cup of tea and said, "Reporting to Director Liu... there's still no news from Guyuan City. Presumably, the beast tide at Guanshan hasn't broken out yet."

"What Director Liu?"

Upon hearing the title "Director Liu," Liu Feng immediately became displeased and said, "I have already submitted my resignation, and your appointment will be finalized in the next three to five days. From now on, I should call you Director Li Zhou."

Zhou Tong's face lit up with joy, but he quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare!"

Liu Feng rolled his eyes in exasperation.

That guy Zhou Tong.

He followed me when he was just a young man of the fourth rank 18 years ago.

How could I not understand him?

This kid has good martial arts talent, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to the eighth rank. But he's also a complete power-hungry person... Of course, I don't mean he's greedy for power, he just simply wants to be an official, and he definitely has the ability to do so!
Therefore, while submitting his resignation, he also recommended Zhou Tong.

In fact, no recommendation is needed.

Zhou Tong has the qualifications and the ability.

He has been at the eighth rank of martial arts for some years now, and with a little more practice, he will surely be able to step into the ninth rank.

I sat down on the sofa.

Liu Feng took a leisurely sip of tea, while Zhou Tong said, "Director Liu, should I call the Guyuan City branch?"

Liu Feng knew Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong naturally knew Liu Feng as well.

How could he not understand Liu Feng's thoughts?
They're definitely waiting for the beast tide to break out so they can take action, intercept and kill the newly crowned ferocious beast king, and show off!
Just then, Liu Feng's phone, which was on the coffee table, pinged.

Liu Feng picked it up casually and looked at it, then said in surprise, "Old Chen sent me a video... Could it be that something's happened in Xishan?"

He clicked on the video.

Then he was stunned.

Zhou Tong poked his head over, his expression instantly turning blank. He exclaimed, "Is this Guan Shan? Who is this person in the black combat suit? He's incredibly brave, charging into Guan Shan alone to fight the beast tide!"

"Jiang He!"

Liu Feng gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words.

Especially when he saw Jiang He take out the "Sacred Intent," startle the Black Panther King, and then force the Black Panther King to knock the Golden Crowned Black Eagle King down from the sky, Liu Feng was completely dumbfounded!
Oh shit!

Jianghe has stolen all the limelight, what am I supposed to do?
When Liu Feng saw the scene of Jiang He killing the Golden Crown Black Hawk King with two punches, his expression changed again.

Zhou Tong exclaimed in disbelief, "Director Liu, is this really Jiang He? When did he become so powerful? He killed a newly promoted ferocious beast king with two punches... Could this strength mean he has already advanced to the Vajra Body Refinement Realm?"

Liu Feng refused to believe it and watched the video again, muttering, "No, he hasn't advanced to the Vajra Body Refinement Realm yet... it's just that his combat strength has reached the Vajra Realm level."

Zhou Tong felt dizzy and disoriented, as if in a dream, and found it hard to believe.

Two months ago, the little guy was running around in a mental hospital gown all day long. Now he has grown up to this extent.
He couldn't help but ask, "Director Liu, who's stronger between Jiang He and you now?"

"???"

Liu Feng's eyes widened, and he slammed his hand on the coffee table, cursing, "What the hell are you spouting? Is there any need to say anything? Of course I'm stronger... Although I'm only a beginner in the Celestial Realm, I've already killed a mid-stage Celestial Realm expert. If Jiang He wants to compete with me, he'll have to kill a mid-stage Celestial Realm expert first!"

That being said.

But in Liu Feng's heart...

It's a bit drumming!

When he killed Xu Runming, the true disciple of the Crimson Blood Tower, he used every means at his disposal, even breaking a leg with a death wish, to successfully kill him. But Jiang He killed the Golden Crown Black Eagle King with just two punches, which seemed effortless...

If the two of them were truly going all out in a fight...

Can I really take down Jianghe?
Even if I could defeat him, given the speed at which this kid is improving, I might not be able to beat him in a few days!
The thought of being surpassed by his nephew and younger generation filled Liu Feng with a sense of urgency!

Snapped!
He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

Zhou Tongdao: "Director Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu Feng said, "The crisis at Guanshan has been resolved, so why stay here? I plan to return to Tianmen Pass tonight to cultivate at the Inheritance Stele Forest and see if I can obtain a powerful inheritance!"

…………

at the same time.

in the wilderness.

Jiang He stood in an abandoned orchard, holding two fruits in his hands.

Wild berries are eaten.

Crisp, sweet, and juicy.

"Ding!"

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

Fruit after dinner

"Delicious...it's so delicious."

Jiang He's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but say, "These days I've been refining marrow pills, using the essence blood of king-level ferocious beasts and Heavenly Yin Grass every day. I never thought that occasionally changing my taste to eat some wild fruit would be so enjoyable."

Northwest side.

There are many orchards.

Especially before the spiritual energy revival, many rural households had courtyards of two or three acres, or even more than ten acres, with orchards planted in them.

After the spiritual energy revival, people moved into the base city and the acropolis.

The countryside has been turned into wilderness.

Most of the orchards have long been abandoned, either ravaged by battles or destroyed by ferocious beasts, but many orchards have grown even better thanks to the nourishment of "spiritual energy"!

Take, for example, the orchard in front of Jianghe.

It's already November.

The fruit trees in the orchard are lush and green, showing no signs of shedding their leaves as winter approaches. The bright red fruits among the branches are as tempting as a young girl's face. When the night breeze blows, the whole orchard is filled with the fragrance of fruit.

pity……

No spiritual fruit was born.

Jiang He deliberately took out an empty storage ring, used it as a fruit cellar, and began picking apples.

He kept track of the time, and around midnight, he ate two more apples as a "midnight snack".

"Ding!"

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

The orchard is very large.

There were many fruits. Jiang He didn't pick them all; he picked about seven or eight hundred pounds in total before returning to the hospital.

Back at the hospital, they found the light in room 207 still on.

Zhuang Shuai, nicknamed "Little Yellow Hair," was live-streaming, sitting in front of the camera, incredibly excited, spitting as he spoke, "Family members, has anyone seen the video just posted on the Martial Arts Administration Bureau's official Weibo account?"

"Our Western Xia has produced another powerful figure!"

"Alone, he stormed into Guanshan, slaughtered over ten thousand low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade ferocious beasts, forced back a royal-level ferocious beast, and killed the newly promoted king-level ferocious beast, the Golden Crown Black Eagle King, with two punches. He single-handedly resolved the Guanshan beast tide crisis!"

"such a pity……"

"This person's identity has not been released."

"In several shots taken from the front, their faces were blurred out with mosaics..."

He didn't even notice Jiang He coming in.

Listening to what Huang Mao said in his live stream, Jiang He couldn't help but think to himself, "The Martial Arts Administration Bureau is pretty fast. They released the video so quickly?"

After removing his SSS-level combat suit and storing it in his storage ring, Jiang He went into the bathroom in the ward. The bathroom had a showerhead and 24-hour hot water, so Jiang He immediately took a nice shower.

Zhuang Shuai was completely absorbed in the live stream.

He was wearing headphones.

Currently, she is live-streaming with a female "fan" and still hasn't noticed Jiang He.

After Jiang He finished showering, he passed by him from behind and asked in a cocky manner, "Yellow Hair...did you see my clothes?"

Zhuang Shuai then realized what was happening and quickly said, "Mr. Jiang, I've put it away for you... it's under your pillow!"

"Thank you."

Jiang He turned back from in front of the camera, found his "hospital gown" and put it on, while Zhuang Shuai slammed his fist on the table and yelled, "What the hell is going on now?"

His live stream screen went black again.

Jiang He cursed, "You little brat, how come you get banned every other day for running a live stream? Did you say something inappropriate?"

Zhuang Shuai's live stream room was banned.

It didn't cause much of a stir.

Jiang He was actually quite happy... because this way he could finally get a good night's sleep.

I slept until 7:30 in the morning.
Jiang He's powerful biological clock woke him up on time and started his morning run. After the run, he enjoyed the breakfast that Nurse Zhou Yue had personally brought him.

"Ding!"

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

"Ding!"

"Rational use of medication, strength +10kg."

"Ding!"

"Rational use of medication, strength +10kg."

After breakfast, take your medicine.

Jiang He then opened the video explanation of the third level of the "Great Sage Fist" cultivation method and began to study it.

He has now completely mastered the second level of the Great Sage Fist, and can control it at will, unleashing three levels of hidden power. If he can cultivate the third level of the Great Sage Fist before entering the [White Horse Mysterious Light Heaven], Jiang He's combat power will increase significantly again, allowing him to unleash four levels of hidden power and deliver a four-times stronger Great Sage Fist!

soon.

Until noon.

Zhou Yue delivered lunch on time, and thoughtfully added two chicken legs and two servings of ribs for Jiang He.

"???"

Zhuang Shuai: "Where are my chicken legs and ribs... What? You gave them to Jiang He? That's alright then... Mr. Jiang, you're a body-refining martial artist, it's only right that you eat more!"

A leisurely and simple day at the mental hospital passed quickly.

On May 11th.

Early in the morning, Jiang He received a call from Chen Jingzhou, who said that Xiahou Wu had come out of seclusion and that Jiang He should prepare himself so that he could come to Wucheng immediately and take him to Xijiang Base City.

I've had breakfast and taken my medicine.

call out!
A flash of sword light landed outside the inpatient building.

soon.

A flash of sword light appeared, and Jiang He left the hospital, heading straight for Xijiang.

Skyrim.

Chen Jingzhou asked, "Jiang He, be honest with your uncle... what level has your cultivation reached now?"

Jiang He glanced at the system attribute panel.

[Strength]: 42 Dragon Power.

He truthfully replied, "Uncle Chen, my current physical strength is only less than 43 Dragon Force, which is barely enough to compare with a peak eighth-grade martial artist..."

"........."

Chen Jingzhou chuckled and said, "How can you compare? The maximum burst combat power of a top-tier eighth-grade is only around 50 dragons. Your physical strength is already 43 dragons. You can easily unleash a Great Saint Fist and crush all eighth-grades. 43 dragons of physical strength... should be considered the mid-stage of the ninth grade."

"its not right!"

Jiang He said, "Senior Xiahou said that the sign of mastering the eighth grade of body refinement is refining the marrow like frost, and the sign of entering the ninth grade of body refinement is blood exchange... I have neither refined the marrow like frost nor exchanged my blood, so how can I be considered to be in the middle stage of the ninth grade?"

He paused, then added, "As for why I can defeat all the eighth-ranked beings, it's simply because those eighth-ranked beings are too weak."

Nima!

You can now kill king-level ferocious beasts head-on.

Still shamelessly pretending to be an esteemed person?
You body-refining martial artists value strength above all else, how could you have such detailed ranking systems?
Chen Jingzhou was speechless for a long time.

Jiang He then inquired about Luo Yuanzhou's situation.

Mentioning Luo Yuanzhou, Chen Jingzhou's expression turned solemn. He said, "Senior Luo has not yet come out..."

Jiang He said, "The three days are almost up. Could Senior Luo have died inside?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Chen Jingzhou glared at Jiang He and said, "Senior Luo is a water-type transcendent awakener with strength comparable to the mid-stage of the Fish-Dragon Realm. His ability to protect himself is unparalleled in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. He won't be in trouble so easily."

"You don't need to concern yourself with Senior Luo's affairs."

"In three days, it will be the day we agreed with the seven major powers to open the [White Horse Mystic Light Heaven]... We need to discuss how to deal with those true disciples of the seven major powers!"

Jiang He laughed and said, "This is simple... I just need to see Senior Xiahou and have him guide me to master the third level of the Great Sage Fist. Then I alone can sweep away the thirty-five worthless disciples of the seven major forces!"

Thirty-five!
They are all at the Celestial Realm!
Killing one dragon will increase your dragon power by 1!
If they were all killed, my physical strength would instantly be guaranteed to reach nearly 80 Dragon Power... At that point, with all sorts of buffs stacked up, not to mention that the restrictions within [White Horse Mystic Light Heaven] could suppress their control over the power of heaven and earth, even if they weren't suppressed...

Jiang He felt that he could finally compete with top-tier Celestial Realm experts!

soon.

We've arrived at Xijiang Base City.

Jiang He cut to the chase, saying, "Please, Senior Xiahou, instruct me on the Great Sage Fist!"

Xiahou Wu, of course, was generous, saying, "No problem, let's set off now for Tianmen Pass... I'll teach you along the way!" (End of Chapter)
