Chapter 159 The Golden Body Soars, Thunder Strike Perfected! (Chapter 15 of 2 words, please vote!)

The time that followed was like the flowing water of the river in Qingjian City.

A month passed seemingly peacefully, still carrying the lingering smoke and blood of the war.

Fang Qingyu's life was divided into two distinct parts.

Most of their lives are spent within the Sanctuary Bureau.

Do only two things.

Practice martial arts, or dissect the corpses of dead ghosts.

The core of martial arts training is naturally the three hard skills I recently acquired.

Among them, the Thunder Drum Heavenly Sound Body successfully advanced from the Transformation Realm to the Perfection Realm. With the daily material tempering, the thunderous sound within the body is no longer limited to the popping of muscles and bones, but penetrates deep into the internal organs, transforming into a deep, continuous life rhythm.

With each heartbeat, it felt as if tiny arcs of lightning were coursing through my veins.

As the final, perfectly round lightning pattern appears beneath the skin.

Fang Qingyu clearly felt that his body was transparent and light, yet contained explosive power, and his Golden Body attribute jumped by 3 points.

The second essential skill.

Lin Kang gave himself the power of the Immovable King.

The story begins with the description of a wrathful king, his body as large as Mount Sumeru, who protects against all calamities and suppresses inner demons.
It's obvious at a glance that it's not simple.

Later, Fang Qingyu also consulted Lin Kang.

"The wise ruler is not angry, but composed. The diamond is not hard, but resilient. Remember, it is your flesh and blood that are being hammered, but it is your will that is being forged."

His words were of great help to Fang Qingyu.

He also learned from Duan Ling that this martial arts manual was passed down from Lin Kang's ancestors.

It is not included in the records of the Bureau of Divine Religion.

You could say they struck gold.

The Immovable King is a method of body refinement that embodies a state of profound stillness and indestructibility.

It does not pursue ultimate attack power, but focuses on forging its body into an indestructible fortress, and is particularly good at physical or elemental defense.

During cultivation, the circulation of Qi and blood becomes exceptionally steady and profound, like molten lava surging deep within the earth, forming an invisible layer of "Ming Wang Gang Jin" on the body's surface.

This technique is extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring a very high level of willpower, and every step forward is accompanied by a tearing, heavy feeling.

However, Fang Qingyu relied on the strong foundation he had built with the Extinction Transformation Body and his inhuman will.

They forcefully pushed him from the very beginning to the second level, adding 3 more points to his Golden Body attribute.

As for the third hard skill.

The Annihilation Transformation Body is undoubtedly the core of Fang Qingyu's cultivation over the past month.

The body-refining technique given by Jiang Wei was extremely domineering, and every time one practiced it was like walking on the edge of life and death.

Amidst the intertwining of ice and fire, the pain of being forged by stars never lessened.

However, with the improvement in physical purity brought about by the perfection of the Thunder Drum Heavenly Sound Body, and the reinforcement effect of the "container" brought about by the Immovable King Technique, Fang Qingyu's ability to withstand tempering intensity increased day by day.

The medicinal bath consumes a huge amount of materials, each one costing a fortune, but Fang Qingyu spares no expense.

Compared to becoming stronger, money
Not worth mentioning!

Beneath the skin, the icy blue and dark red patterns became deeper and more restrained through repeated extreme tempering, no longer ferocious and outwardly displayed, but transformed into the most resilient veins deep within the flesh, bones, and muscles.

The Annihilation Transformation Body broke through from the beginner level to the master level.

As a result, the Golden Body attribute also skyrocketed by 7 points!
A total of 13 points of Golden Body attribute.

This is what Fang Qingyu has gained in the past month in the three hard skills.

of course.

Significant progress has also been made in the decomposition of the Fate Ghost.

As one of the few professions that can provide attribute points, Fang Qingyu has never neglected it.

Fang Qingyu practically regarded the underground division as his second home, spending all his free time in that cold space filled with blood and resentment.

Under the guidance of the experienced Zou Lingzhu, students systematically learn the physiological structure of various types of spirits, the distribution of energy nodes, and the most efficient and safest decomposition methods.

From the initial encounter with the large corpse of the dead.

Today, their techniques are precise and their efficiency is astonishing; each dissection is like performing a meticulous surgical operation.

Within this month.

The Executioner profession and the Resentment Mark both broke through to level 2.

it's here.

Fang Qingyu has accumulated some attribute points and skill points.

As for the other part of life.

That would be the Bureau of Sanctions' duty assignment.

Fang Qingyu will continue to lead Qin Hui, Lao Qiao, Qi Hao, Lü Chen and others to carry out some missions to eliminate newly emerging ghosts around Qingjian City.

These tasks are far less demanding than the Abyss Weavers event; they are more like routine cleaning work.

Thanks to the team's increasingly skilled teamwork and Fang Qingyu's own formidable abilities, the mission was completed cleanly and efficiently.

It's worth mentioning that Qi Hao and Qin Hui, perhaps due to being provoked too many times during this month, or something else entirely.

Both of them broke through to the Martial Artist level.

Among those at the Breaking Mortal level, his combat strength is not considered weak.

Furthermore, after breaking through to the Martial Realm, neither of them chose to leave Fang Qingyu's reserve team.

Instead, they chose to continue following.

There really seems to be a tendency to develop Fang Qingyu's team into a top-tier elite squad.

In that case, only Lao Qiao and Lü Chen, the last two to join the team, remain, still struggling as martial arts apprentices facing the Heavenly Gate.

As for the official members of the Divine Management Bureau and the True Sight Eyes, they have all successfully broken through to level 3.

The accumulated skill attribute points.

Fang Qingyu hasn't used it yet.

Because of a hidden injury, it wasn't until today that Jiang Wei confirmed it.

Completely disappeared!!
Early morning, on the eighth basement floor of the Qingjian City Shenguan Bureau.

Fang Qingyu stood in the center of the field, his torso bare and muscular.

A month of almost self-torturous training gave his body a perfect streamlined shape; his muscle lines were not exaggeratedly bulging, but contained a mountain-like, solid power.

Beneath the skin, the terrifying cracks left by the clash between ice and fire are no longer visible. In their place is a gentle, understated resilience with a subtle jade-like luster.

That was a terrifying golden body forged from the combined power of three domineering body-refining techniques.

The gold price has now surged to an astonishing 32 points!
Fang Qingyu slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the depths of his mind.

"It's time," I thought to myself.

The focus is first on the visualization method.

[Core Professional Skill: Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Visualization Technique - Three Realms Lv.1 (0/200)]

"Add the atlas to my collection!"

Om-!
The diagram glowed, and the 2 skill points vanished instantly.

【Nine Heavens Primordial Contemplation Method - Three Realms Lv.2 (0/400)】!
A stellar power far more powerful and pure than before was drawn from the void and poured into Fang Qingyu's sea of ​​consciousness!
The vortex of spiritual energy, which had been slowly rotating like a dazzling nebula, suddenly accelerated!
But this is just the beginning!
"Add more!!!"

With unwavering focus, another 4 skill points were invested!

【Nine Heavens Primordial Contemplation Method - Three Realms Lv.3 (0/800)】!
Boom——!
It was as if a mental supernova had been detonated in the sea of ​​consciousness!

The liquid star core expanded, collapsed, and expanded again in an instant!

When it finally stabilized, it had transformed into a fist-sized, slowly spinning, silvery-blue star!

Liquid starlight flowed across the surface of the celestial body, emanating a heavy, mercury-like, cold, and domineering immense pressure! The total force surged several times over.

The level of refinement has reached an unbelievable level!

hum!
The Zhou Tian Star Field was activated in response, but its range only expanded slightly, to a limit of about twenty meters.

But inside the force field, the air was as viscous as a mercury swamp.

Fang Qingyu even had a feeling that if he fully opened the force field at this moment, the movements of a normal person would be slowed down to almost a standstill!

The qualitative change in visualization brought about a terrifying leap in the strength of the force field!
However, before the soul tremor brought about by the breakthrough in visualization had subsided, Fang Qingyu's will turned towards the core of the Qi and Blood Furnace like thunder!
[Core Skill: Crimson Light Nine Revolutions Jade Scripture - Second Revolution Lv.1 (0/200)]

"More maps, please!!!"

2 skill points burned.

【Crimson Bright Nine Revolutions Jade Scripture - Second Revolution Lv.2 (0/400)】!
"Roar--!"

A deep, molten roar seemed to echo from within Fang Qingyu's body!

His boundless energy and blood surged forth like a dormant volcano suddenly ignited! Dark red lava patterns instantly lit up beneath his skin, like a rushing underground river of fire, radiating scorching heat!
"continue!"

I'll invest all 4 skill points without hesitation!
【Crimson Bright Nine Revolutions Jade Scripture - Second Revolution Lv.3 (0/800)】!
boom! ! !
This time, it's a true furnace eruption!

The crimson tribulation jade in his dantian shone with boundless light and burned fiercely!

The surging blood and qi were no longer simply a long river of lava, but transformed into countless roaring red dragons, which roamed and clashed wildly within Fang Qingyu's body!
The dark red lava patterns beneath his skin seemed to burst forth, radiating a terrifying heatwave that could extinguish the eight wastelands!
Fang Qingyu's body temperature was rising rapidly!
The 32-point Golden Body physical strength created a terrifying vessel that perfectly contained the surging, violent blood energy, restraining, compressing, and condensing it.

Ultimately, it transformed into an even purer and more domineering power of calamity fire!
With every gesture, it seemed as if he could shatter mountains and split the earth!
Visualization and Qi and Blood: Both core systems have achieved breakthroughs to mastery!

This caused Fang Qingyu's aura to surge wildly, as if it were on a rocket.

It is this feeling.

Fang Qingyu held back for a full month.

Jiang Wei said a long time ago that he could only practice body techniques recently, and he had to temporarily stop practicing qi and blood techniques and visualization techniques.

If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer.

Fang Qingyu was not in a hurry, so he waited until now.

But this is not the end.
The accumulation over the past month is not just a matter of 12 skill points.

Fang Qingyu finally fixed his gaze on the ultimate sword technique that represented the ultimate offensive skill.

[Core Class Skill: Thunder Strike Eight Slashes Lv.5 (211/1600)]

"The diagram, let me see the true perfection of this swordsmanship!!!"

Fang Qingyu thought to himself, "This is a low shout."

14 skill points, evaporated instantly!
【Thunder Strike Eight Cuts Lv.6 (Limit Break Perfection)】!
"Qiang——!!!"

A sharp, piercing sound, as if it could shatter the entire underground space, erupted from Fang Qingyu's body without warning!
hum!
Fang Qingyu suddenly opened his eyes!

Deep within the pupils, there was no longer starlight, lava, or black flames, but countless fine, leaping, and perfectly condensed purple lightning arcs!

Rampage, speed, destruction, judgment!
All sorts of sword intents intertwined and surged before my eyes!
Fang Qingyu's body moved!

"Buzz!"

Under the glaring incandescent light.

Fang Qingyu's figure flashed like a ghost, and the Dragon Sparrow Blade in his hand was not drawn, but only swung with the scabbard.

However, as the scabbard passed, the air shrieked and twisted under the strain!
With the speed to startle the heavens, the precision to slay calamities, the explosiveness to annihilate, and the refinement to return to stillness, the eight forms of sword intent flowed freely, sometimes like leaping starlight, sometimes like surging lava, and sometimes carrying a chilling blue aura. In the end, they all returned to a trajectory of returning to simplicity, yet containing the true meaning of destruction!
Without a target, the sheath points to the target!

"Hey!"

The tip of the scabbard lightly touched the specially made alloy floor.

A charred mark, winding like a dragon, was instantly imprinted on it!

At the edge of the mark, dark red lava patterns intertwined and flickered with leaping, ghostly blue starlight arcs, radiating terrifying high temperatures and aura that lingered for a long time!

Eight Thunderstrikes, Limit Break Perfection!
Where the sword's intent reaches, all things fall silent!

Fang Qingyu stopped and stood still.

In the corner, Jiang Wei sat on a bench with her knees drawn up to her chest, taking small bites of a newly bought roasted sweet potato. Her clear, large eyes were fixed on Fang Qingyu, who was sheathing his knife in the arena, noticing the hideous scorch mark at his feet and the lingering scent in the air.

She tilted her head, her rosy cheeks bulging from being stuffed with sweet potato, and mumbled something indistinctly:
"monster"

The 28th floor of the Qingjian City Divine Management Bureau in the early morning.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the river mist had not yet dissipated, and the room was filled with the aroma of coffee mixed with disinfectant.

Fang Qingyu leaned back on the sofa, his combat uniform sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing smooth, jade-like skin.

Close your eyes and feel the new energy surging within you.

Even after the upgrades, Starlight Force, Crimson Blaze, and the fully-powered Thunderstrike Eight Slashes remain his strongest offensive combat abilities as a martial artist!
However, compared to before, apart from the increase in attack power...

His physical body has also improved by several levels!

Although it cannot directly cause an attack, it is of great help in battle.

If we only consider the strength of the martial artists...

Now, Fang Qingyu is no longer afraid to challenge a Xuan-level martial artist.

Just
I still don't have much confidence in withstanding the lightning tempering of that divine profession.

"Qingzi! Old Qiao and the others went to the entrance to grab the new braised pork buns, and they brought you three!"

Qin Hui's loud voice rang out with the sound of footsteps as he walked in with Qi Hao, Li Hu, Qu Zhe, and others, all of them full of energy.

After breaking through to the Martial Realm, Qin Hui and Qi Hao became much more composed, and their brows showed a sharper edge.

Qu Zhe was fiddling with the tactical tablet, while Li Hu rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Fang Qingyu opened his eyes, took the still-steaming oil paper package that Qin Hui tossed to him, and nodded casually: "Thanks."

"Tsk, your aura has deepened again?" Qi Hao took two steps closer, looked Fang Qingyu up and down, and clicked his tongue. "I just felt like I was doing a bit better after my breakthrough, but when I stood in front of you, well, I'm an apprentice again."

"Nonsense, how can you compare to Qingzi?" Li Hu took a swig of strong coffee to clear his head. "He risked his life for that! You didn't see the commotion Qingzi caused in the underground training room. If we weren't outmatched by Qingzi, we would have filed a complaint already. Oh, right!" He seemed to remember something and slapped his thigh. "Have you guys seen the forums? Songdu City is in an uproar!"

Fang Qingyu was taken aback.

Qu Zhe immediately handed the tablet to Fang Qingyu, and the screen still showed the pinned post from the internal forum of the Divine Management Bureau.

However, this time the scarlet headline was shocking.

[A molting-level life-destroying ghost's lair has been confirmed in the western suburbs of Songdu City! The pit continues to expand! Requesting emergency assistance from surrounding cities with combat forces of level three or higher!]

Below are still those same few chilling images.

A massive pit, as large as a beast's jaws, churning purple poisonous miasma, the afterimages of pale limbs twisted within the miasma, crimson flesh and blood vessels clinging to the rock walls, and most strikingly, two giant blood moon eyes floating in the darkness.

Fang Qingyu's gaze swept across the picture, landing on the three characters "Songdu City," and his eyes narrowed slightly.

A month ago, in the hold of the cargo ship Glorious, the cold voice of that Chosen One seemed to echo in my ears again: "Notify headquarters to prioritize the allocation of major resources and attention to Songdu City. The 'incubator' there cannot be lost."

"Damn it, could it be those crazy guys from Creation again?" Qin Hui mumbled through a steamed bun, "Last time they threw a queen insect into Qingjian, and this time they're setting up a 'hatching farm' in Songdu?"

“It looks somewhat like it.” Qu Zhe pointed to the slimy patterns on the rock wall and the humanoid creatures in the photo. “Master Xuan Chengzi of the Demon Subduing Department analyzed it. These characteristics are similar to the path of the ‘Corpse Seed’ ghost. It is extremely insidious, has strong regenerative ability, and also carries corpse poison. An underground nest of this scale could not have been formed without external intervention and long-term management.”

Qi Hao looked at Fang Qingyu: "Qingzi, do you think the General Administration might transfer us there? After all, it's close by, and your combat strength is more than enough."

The words are not finished yet.

Buzz! Boom!
The solid ground beneath our feet suddenly shook violently without warning!
It looked as if a prehistoric behemoth had violently turned over deep within the earth's crust!

"Crash!" The potted plant by the window fell to the ground, scattering dirt everywhere.

"Crash!" The water glass, documents, and tactical tablet on the desk suddenly jumped up and fell back down, the screen flickering.

The emergency lights on the ceiling emitted a piercing hissing sound, flickering on and off!
The entire SOCSO building shook violently, as if gripped by an invisible giant hand!
"Earthquake?!" Li Hu exclaimed, instinctively grabbing the filing cabinet next to him to steady himself.

The shaking of the building lasted for a full seven or eight seconds before it gradually subsided, but the piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire building in an instant!

"W-W-W-W-!"

Red warning lights spun and flashed wildly in the corridor and on the ceiling, casting a blood-red glow on the bewildered expressions on everyone's faces.

"Attention all combat personnel! Attention all combat personnel!" Director Wu Yu's deep, urgent voice rang out through the ubiquitous loudspeakers, carrying an unprecedented gravity. "All squad leaders, assemble in the top-floor emergency command center within three minutes! Repeat!"

The command, like a cold steel needle, pierced the morning's clamor.
