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

The guard room.

Jiang Heng used the Disease Corrosion technique, and a mysterious energy quickly cleared away the lesions in his body, which in turn increased his physical strength and immunity.

On the panel, the physical body level, which had reached 1.92, started to jump again.

Level 1.93, Level 1.94, Level 1.95...

The speed at which my physical body level has improved this time is even faster than when I first took the EPC potion!

A few seconds later, Jiang Heng dispelled the corrosive power of the disease.

Only after his body had fully recovered did he truly realize just how vigorous his physical vitality was.

The immense power surging within his muscles seemed capable of destroying everything...

"call……"

Jiang Heng suppressed his urge to give it a try.

We've only been in this guard post for a couple of days, we can't just tear it down now...

He looked up at the semi-transparent panel in front of him.

[Physical Body Level: 1.92 → 1.99]

This transformation from disease to erosion boosted him by a full 0.07 levels, propelling him directly to the peak of level one.

Jiang Heng thought for a moment, then walked out of the guard room and went to the martial arts room on the first floor. He aimed at the metal target of the strength testing device and threw a punch with all his might.

"Bang!"

A heavy, muffled thud instantly exploded in the martial arts room.

The force testing device, fixed underground, trembled violently, causing the entire building to shake slightly.

A line of numbers suddenly appeared on the display screen above the metal target.

[2260 kg]

"That's about what I calculated..."

Jiang Heng nodded slightly.

He then turned and left the martial arts room, went back to his room's bathroom to take a shower, and ordered takeout.

"What comes next..."

Jiang Heng chewed on the pork knuckle in his hand and took a sip of the high-energy nutrient solution.

"I'm still a little short of mastering the Candlelight Breathing Technique and the Heart Tiger Stance. I estimate I can reach perfection in another two or three days. I'm currently at level 1.99. The bottlenecks of other martial artists aren't much of an obstacle for me. I estimate I can break through them within ten days..."

"Heh, come to think of it, I only stayed at the first level of physical cultivation for about forty days..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng couldn't help but smile, then quickly composed himself.

Physical strength level one is still too low. There are too many martial artists stronger than me in Nanjiang City, so I can't let my guard down.

One must reach at least Level 4 in physical strength to have a foothold in Nanjiang City.

"Once I break through to the second level of physical body cultivation, I should start thinking about a promotion..."

Once you reach level two in physical fitness, you can learn breathing techniques without spending merit points, but martial arts and medicines will consume merit points.

The price of an advanced martial art exceeds 10,000 points.

Jiang Heng, following behind Lü Zehai's fourth group, could only obtain a very low number of merit points.

In the past two days, he followed the fourth group on a patrol of five blocks in the vicinity, but in the end, they only caught a few ordinary thieves.

His total merit points were only five hundred, and he only received a little over one hundred.

This efficiency is too low. We must find a way to be promoted to the team leader level and have independent law enforcement power in order to have the opportunity to earn a lot of merits.

However, to be promoted to the team leader level, you need 10,000 accumulated merit points...

He earned 6,000 merit points for killing Chen Chi last time, and he's still 4,000 merit points short...

Jiang Heng fell into deep thought.

……

Meanwhile, inside a residential building on Xibin Street.

Chen Tao, president of the Yangjiang Chamber of Commerce, walked out of the rented house where Jiang Heng used to live with a gloomy expression.

Chen Tao was wearing a black hoodie, his muscles making the thin hoodie bulge, giving him an extremely imposing presence.

At this moment, he had already crushed the door behind him, but the room was already empty.

"That kid actually moved..."

Some time ago, the Wu'an Bureau of Yuquan District attacked the stronghold of their Yangjiang Chamber of Commerce. During their escape, he and his brother Chen Chi had to flee separately and eventually hid in Chongming Street.

When the storm had passed, he learned from the Chongming Street Joint Chamber of Commerce that his younger brother, Chen Chi, had actually died, and that he had been killed by a newcomer who had just joined the Wu'an Bureau.

Chen Tao took out his phone and glanced at the information on it.

He has already contacted caravans that have been smuggled across the border to the Thai-Myanmar administrative region, and they can leave the border of Namjang City at any time.

Now that the Yangjiang Chamber of Commerce is gone, there's no point in him staying here any longer; he can only go back and regroup.

And now the only thing he needs to accomplish is... kill the murderer who killed his brother and avenge him.

Chen Tao tightened his hood and walked towards the stairwell.

……

Five days later, as dusk fell, the setting sun hung low over the distant buildings.

At the entrance of the Wu'an Bureau in Yuquan District.

"Alright, that's all for today. Everyone, go your separate ways."

Lu Zehai, along with Jiang Heng, Fang Hai, and Chen Yao, had already completed a patrol of the jurisdiction and finished their mission for the day.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, team leader."

Jiang Heng nodded, then left the Wu'an Bureau and went to a mutton restaurant near Xichang Street for a meal.

This was the restaurant he ate at most after visiting the entire Xichang Street.

After a hearty meal, we left the restaurant.

As dusk approached, the last rays of the setting sun vanished completely on the horizon, and the streetlights along Xichang Street, having fallen into disrepair over the years, had long since stopped providing illumination.

Jiang Heng walked calmly in the darkness, showing no fear of the deathly silence of the night.

He silently opened the panel and observed the various data on it.

Jiang Heng's physical body level has remained at 1.99 for five days, and he has gradually felt the barrier loosening.

Both the "Candlelight Breathing Method" and the "Heart Tiger Stance" have been elevated to perfection.

After the "Heart Tiger Stance" was improved to perfection, the [shallow physical potential] also reached 90%.

Currently, within the realm of physical strength, it's likely that few other martial artists can surpass Jiang Heng in power...

tread--

Extremely faint footsteps sounded from dozens of meters behind Jiang Heng.

He silently closed the panel in his sight, his expression calm.

After mastering the Heart Tiger Stance, even without activating his Qi, his five senses will still surpass those of other martial artists at the same level.

As soon as Jiang Heng stepped out of the mutton restaurant, he noticed someone following him.

At first, he thought it was just a passerby, but after turning two corners in a row, the person behind him was still following him, which made him realize something was wrong.

The Heart Tiger Stance is activated, and the Qi sensation envelops the eyes.

With his vision enhanced, Jiang Heng casually turned his head and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

My vision pierced through the darkness, and I could see what was happening dozens of meters away.

A tall figure wearing a black hoodie was walking silently along the roadside.

The hood on his head covered the upper half of his face, only revealing the lower half.

Jiang Heng immediately searched his memory, and the half-face gradually overlapped with a photograph in his memory.

He thought for a moment, then took out his phone and sent a message to Lü Zehai.

"Team leader, has the president of the Yangjiang Chamber of Commerce been caught yet?"

The next moment, Lü Zehai's reply popped up on the phone.

"Not yet. This guy is very well hidden; the station hasn't found him yet. What's wrong?"

Jiang Heng calmly typed back, "He came to see me."
