From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a powerful martial arts demon god!

three days later.

Jiang Heng woke up on the soft bed in the second-floor room of the garrison and habitually glanced at the panel.

There weren't any major changes; my physical body level increased by 0.01 levels, to 1.71.

My proficiency with the Candlelight Breathing Technique has increased to 91%, and I'll reach perfection in a few more days.

My proficiency with "Heart Tiger Stance" has also increased to 82%, and it's only a few days away from perfection.

"It's time to go to the Wu'an General Bureau..."

Jiang Heng took a taxi to the Wu'an General Bureau in the city center. After passing through a metal passage, he met Li Minglang in the laboratory.

"Professor Li."

Li Minglang was filling out documents at his computer desk when he looked up at Jiang Heng and asked, "Little Jiang, you're here. I have some official business to attend to, please wait a moment."

"Okay," Jiang Heng replied.

Li Minglang nodded and casually asked, "Well, how's your Heart Tiger Stance training going lately?"

"It has reached a high level of mastery."

Generally, a proficiency level of over 60% can be considered as having mastered martial arts.

Li Minglang paused slightly as he filled out the form, then looked up at Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng understood the meaning in Li Minglang's gaze and calmly said, "Let me practice for you."

After speaking, he stood still, and the Qi in his body quickly gathered and surged, locking the muscles of his dantian, waist, abdomen, and legs, forming a highly explosive structure in his lower body.

Then his right leg stepped out instantly.

His figure suddenly left a dark shadow in the laboratory, his extremely fast burst of speed leaving a trail of afterimages.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Heng was already standing in front of Li Minglang's desk.

Li Minglang raised an eyebrow slightly; this was indeed the culmination of the "Heart Tiger Stance".

The key to mastering the "Heart Tiger Stance" lies not in the speed, but in the ability to control the dynamics between stillness and movement.

Jiang Heng's ability to unleash such speed over such a short distance and then precisely stop and stand still in front of the desk demonstrates that his mastery of the "Heart Tiger Stance" is extraordinary.

It seems the last time he used the "Eight Vajra Forms" wasn't an accident; this kid really is a martial arts genius...

"Very good... Wait here for a moment, I'll go get the potion for you."

"OK."

Li Minglang put down the documents in his hand, turned around and went to the room at the back of the laboratory. He took out a transparent test tube of medicine about the thickness of an index finger and placed it in front of Jiang Heng.

The test tube contained a bottle of pale blue liquid, which refracted a faint halo under the overhead lights in the laboratory.

"Is this potion capable of increasing physical body level by 0.2 to 0.3?"

Li Minglang said, "That's right. However, the higher the physical body level, the weaker the effect of this potion."

With your current late-stage level 1 physical body, you probably won't achieve the effect of level 0.30.

Additionally, I need to remind you that this medication has strong side effects and is extremely neurotoxic, requiring at least three months of treatment to gradually recover.

For the next three months, you must come to see me every three to five days. I will then help you cleanse your blood and remove toxins.

Jiang Heng nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any further questions.

Li Minglang said, "Alright, stick your arm out now."

Jiang Heng pulled up his sleeve, revealing his muscular arm. Li Minglang took a tungsten steel needle from the medical kit and injected the pale blue medicine into Jiang Heng's arm vein.

A faint coolness flowed through my veins and throughout my body.

"That's enough. The medicine will start to take effect in five hours and reach its limit in twelve hours. Go back and get some rest during this time."

"Alright, then I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, go ahead."

Li Minglang watched Jiang Heng's departing figure and fell into deep thought.

"You actually mastered the 'Heart Tiger Stance'? Alright... I'll try to see if I can secure you a spot as a prospective Dao Seed cultivator..."

He turned on his computer and began composing an email.

……

Jiang Heng left the Wu'an General Bureau and took a taxi back to the guardhouse on Xichang Street.

After eating a little something, he sat cross-legged on the bed, waiting for the EPC-type physical body-level potion to take effect in his body.

Five hours later, as time went by...

The chill within my body grew increasingly clear and piercing, gradually freezing my entire body from the inside out, enveloping my blood, organs, and even muscles.

The drug was rapidly stimulating the growth and expansion of his muscle and nerve cells, while at the same time, the high toxicity of the drug was also polluting his body.

Jiang Heng opened the panel and observed his current state.

[Current condition: Mild candlestick disease, mild biological muscle syndrome, EPC-type neurotoxicity]

[The EPC-type neurotoxicity is worsening...]

[Physical Body Level: 1.71 → 1.72]

"My physical body level is starting to increase..."

Jiang Heng was overjoyed, but then he watched the data on the panel rise little by little, while his nerve poisoning became more and more serious, and the sore and numb feeling quickly eroded his body.

[Physical Body Level: 1.80 → 1.81]

[The EPC-type neurotoxicity is worsening...]

……

Time passed slowly, and twelve hours later, it was already late at night.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Heng coughed violently and sat up straight, his body feeling somewhat numb.

At this moment, the chill in my body had gradually dissipated, but the numbness throughout my body remained in every muscle.

"This toxicity is really potent."

Nowadays, Jiang Heng's immune system has long surpassed that of other martial artists at the same level.

Even a level three martial artist might not have a stronger immune system than him.

The fact that this EPC-type physical-grade drug could poison him to such an extent demonstrates its potent toxicity.

Jiang Heng looked up at the panel in front of him.

……

[Physical Body Level: 1.92]

[Current status: Mild candlestick disease, mild biological functional syndrome, severe EPC-type neurotoxicity]

……

His physical level increased by a full 0.21 levels, and his physique, nerve reaction speed, and other qualities all increased dramatically.

His strength at this moment exceeded two tons, enough to easily lift a car over his head.

Jiang Heng moved his body slightly, but although he was poisoned and his body was numb, the toxins were constantly eroding his nerves, making him almost unable to move.

However, he could still feel the strengthening of his own flesh and blood cells and the extreme vitality within his body.

But I still felt a little regretful.

"Only increased by 0.21 levels..."

He had hoped that the potion would raise his physical level to 1.99 in one go, but the effect was still a little lacking.

But that's normal.

Li Minglang had previously told him that the higher the physical body level, the lower the enhancement effect of the EPC physical body potion would be.

Jiang Heng's physical body level has reached the late stage of level one, so it's normal for the EPC potion to have this effect.

Moreover...

Jiang Heng lowered his gaze to the [Current Status] line on the panel.

The text "[Severe EPC-type neurotoxicity]" is clearly visible.

"Since this toxin is capable of making EPC-type drugs banned, its toxicity must be extremely high..."

The effects of the [Disease Erosion] transformation should be quite good...

A smile appeared on Jiang Heng's lips, and a sense of anticipation rose in his heart. He then sat cross-legged on the bed and immediately began to silently recite in his mind.

"Disease erodes, transformation occurs!"
