Ultimate Method: Practice your fist a hundred times, and use violence to control violence.

When he touched the two tiger tallies, a cool current suddenly flowed into his body through his skin.

The Thunder Breathing Technique started operating on its own.

Wan Ze was startled.

This is?

He quickly looked at the data frame, trying to find any subtle changes.

But before he could figure out what was happening...

Suddenly, the world before him seemed to distort for a moment, and then he seemed to be pulled to a strange state point, and the world before him changed!

……

The camps stretched for dozens of miles, with banners fluttering in the wind, each bearing a large "Win" character.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood in square formation, their armor gleaming, their imposing presence awe-inspiring, a truly fierce and powerful sight.

The two halves of the tiger fit together perfectly, as if they were made by nature itself.

The general raised the tiger tally, turned to face the army, raised his arms high, and proclaimed loudly, "His Majesty has ordered us to reinforce Shangjun, drive out the barbarians, and display the might of our Great Victory!"

"Drive out the barbarians! Display the might of Heaven!"

Thirty thousand divine soldiers shouted in unison!

A powerful and majestic aura shot straight into the sky!

……

Wan Ze remained lost in thought for a long time.

Until the distant alarm bells rang.

He came to his senses.

Looking at the tiger tally in his hand, his eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.

He couldn't be sure whether what he had just seen was an illusion or something that had actually happened.

but……

"The Kingdom of Ying..."

"Tiger tally..."

"Thirty thousand Xuanjia Divine Soldiers!"

Wan Ze let out a long breath.

While frowning in thought, his gaze suddenly paused.

……

[Illustrated Guide: Thunder Breathing Technique] (Ultimate level mastered)

【Effect 1: Enhanced Perception】

[Effect 2: Combined with Iron Mountain Fist, it enhances power and ferocity]

【Effect 3: Concentrate and Focus】

【Effect 4: Stealing Heavenly Secrets (Stealing the Creation of Heaven and Earth)】

[This time, the secrets of heaven are stolen: the power of tigers and wolves]

……

Wan Ze was slightly stunned.

"The force of tigers and wolves?"

He suddenly recalled the 30,000 Xuanjia Divine Soldiers he had seen in that instant; their aura was indeed vast and imposing, a thousand times, ten thousand times more powerful than the tiger he had imagined.

If he were to unleash his full power during a fight, he was certain it would be enough to intimidate any villains!

The sound of an alarm bell soon came from nearby.

However, before they could get close, military vehicles from the garrison command drove in first and blocked the intersection.

"Snapped!"

The gate of the military vehicle was pushed open, and a figure jumped out and walked quickly towards it.

"Junior brother?"

"Senior brother, I'm here."

Wan Ze emerged from the woods, looked at Zhai Jia, and subtly beckoned.

Seeing this, Zhai Jia turned around and shouted, "Be on guard! No one is allowed to approach!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

A company of soldiers raised their guns and surrounded the area, instantly turning the faces of the people in the police car green.

"Junior brother, what's going on?" Zhai Jia walked over quickly.

Wan Ze led him to the corpse and whispered quickly, "This person is Lie Hu from the Secret Palace."

"Fierce Fox? That's the guy A-Ming encountered before?" Zhai Jia asked in astonishment. "He was specifically lying in wait for you? And then you killed him?"

"Yes." Wan Ze nodded and handed over the tiger tally: "I also found this."

Upon seeing the tiger tally, Zhai Jia was dumbfounded: "So this idiot tried to kill you with that thing, but you ended up killing him instead..."

"right."

"This is hilarious! They tried to steal a chicken but lost the bait instead. But it's normal, the people in the Secret Palace are just that stupid..."

Zhai Jia returned the tiger tally: "Keep this yourself, do whatever you want with it."

After Wan Ze stole the secrets of heaven, he knew that this thing did indeed come from the Ying Kingdom, but... he also found it troublesome.

If the imperial tomb truly contains the inheritance method of Qi Refiners, then his cultivation level of only the second stage of Blood Tempering is simply not enough to contend with it.

Ultimately, it's because they're too weak.

However, the fact that the ancient artifacts from the Ying Kingdom could steal secrets from the heavens did indeed tempt him.

"I'll handle this..."

"Senior brother, I'm in trouble."

The garrison command escorted Wanze, and the police station's procedures proceeded quickly, with no intention of making things difficult for Wanze at all.

When Wanze returned home, his parents were in the living room, looking at the crowd gathered downstairs, both of them somewhat nervous.

"Xiaoze, what's going on downstairs? Why are there so many people?"

The parents were unaware that Wan Ze was the person involved.

He casually remarked, "I was too far away to see clearly..."

Mr. Wan said worriedly, "I don't know if it's because of the layoffs, but there was a brawl at the east end of the bridge this morning... This world is terrible."

Wan Ze: "..."

He coughed lightly: "It's getting late, I'm going inside to sleep."

The crowd gathered downstairs then dispersed.

Zhai Jia sent Wan Ze a message: 【All done. It's a coincidence, nobody noticed you.】

Thanks, senior.

It's nothing.

Wan Ze put down the communicator, took out the tiger tally again, and fell into thought.

"Stealing secrets from heaven...any old object will do...or specific items?"

He decided to visit an antique shop first thing tomorrow morning.

Let's confirm our approach.

A cold night breeze blew into the half-open window, causing the curtains to sway slightly.

The room quickly quieted down.

Wan Ze sat cross-legged on the bed, calming his mind to cultivate.

……

After a night of continuous rain, the water on the ground had not yet disappeared by early morning. Vehicles sped by, splashing water and drawing angry curses from pedestrians waiting at the bus stop.

The chilly autumn wind whipped Wan Ze's hair back. In previous years, he would always catch a cold and fever due to the sudden drop in temperature at this time. But now, after practicing martial arts, he felt no chill despite wearing only thin clothes. He had only put on a decent coat to avoid attracting attention.

He walked along the sidewalk for about ten minutes until he stood in front of a round archway with a brass plaque.

The shop door was open.

The shop was dimly lit. At this hour, there were hardly any customers, so much so that when Wanze appeared, even the bespectacled old man at the front desk, who was dusting the counter with a feather duster, was taken aback.

"What would you like to order?"

"Just look around, you don't need to entertain me."

The old man nodded and smiled, "Then take a look for yourself. Most of the items in my shop are rare treasures I collected from the countryside, and some fine pieces were sold to me by impoverished nobles..."

Wan Ze casually looked around and then reached out to touch a wood carving.

no response.

I touched several old objects in succession, and without exception, they did not react.

He fell into thought.

"If these are all genuine items and cannot reveal the secrets of heaven, then it means there's a threshold for triggering this reaction..."

"What if all of these are fakes..."

He looked at the old man.

The old man was also watching him.

Their eyes met, each harboring a degree of suspicion towards the other.

"Authentic?"

"A rare find!"

"Authentic and genuine?"

"Looking for trouble?"

The old man became alert and looked behind Wan Ze, seemingly worried that several strong men might rush in.

Wan Ze remained silent, thinking how troublesome it was. However, since these all looked like distressed old objects, he simply turned around and left.

On the way, I called Lei Ming to ask if I could visit Professor Song.

Professor Song definitely has the genuine article.

He then mentioned the Tiger Tally, which nearly made Lei Ming extremely excited.

"Really? Aze, you can't be lying to me!"

"Really," Wan Ze said with a smile.

"Damn it!" Lei Ming jumped up excitedly. "That son of a bitch, Lie Hu! I regret not being able to kill that kid myself... But this bastard didn't expect this. He probably thought that bringing a few more people would be enough to deal with you... Hahaha, that's awesome! Where are you? I'm coming to find you!"

Not long after Wan Ze gave his address, Lei Ming drove over. His previous gloom vanished, and he grabbed Wan Ze, saying urgently, "Ah Ze, tell me everything in detail... That was so damn satisfying!"
