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

"Ring ring..."

A crisp cell phone ringtone sounded, and Jiang Heng took out his phone to find that it was Li Minglang calling.

"Hello, Professor Li."

"Xiao Jiang, didn't I tell you before that you should come here every three to five days?"

Otherwise, the neurotoxins in your body will continue to cause great damage to your body.

"What's your condition right now? Are you still able to move? If you can't move, tell me your address and I'll come find you."

Jiang Heng was slightly taken aback. He came over in person?

Professor Li's attitude towards me was a little too kind...

After thinking for a moment, he replied honestly, "Professor Li, I have already advanced to the second level of physical body, and those neurotoxins have been digested."

"...Level two physical body?" Li Minglang asked, somewhat puzzled.

He was the inventor of the EPC-type physical body-level potion, and he knew best about its efficacy and effects.

Logically speaking, this potion should at most help Jiang Heng reach level 1.90, and it's unlikely to directly help him reach level 2...

Li Minglang couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm planning to go to the Wu'an Bureau in Yuquan District to apply for a promotion to team leader."

Li Minglang remained silent for a while, but ultimately felt that Jiang Heng wouldn't lie to him about something like this.

"...Okay then, come visit me again sometime when you have time."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Professor Li."

Jiang Heng hung up the phone, feeling quite grateful to Professor Li.

They were offering him free medicine and even offering to personally treat his injuries; they were truly being incredibly kind to him…

Pulling himself back to reality, Jiang Heng opened a ride-hailing app, hailed a taxi, and headed to the Wu'an Bureau in Yuquan District.

……

Jiang Heng entered the Wu'an Bureau and went straight to the Internal Affairs Section office on the third floor of Building No. 2.

"Section Chief Liao."

Liao Junhui, the head of the Internal Affairs Section, nodded to Jiang Heng: "Little Jiang, you're here to collect your merit, right? Wait a moment, I'll process it for you right away."

Jiang Heng nodded: "Thank you, Section Chief Liao."

Liao Junhui then operated on the computer for about two minutes, and a transfer message for an internal account popped up on Jiang Heng's phone.

[Payment Collection Merit Points: 6000]

[Merit Points: 7110]

I still have 1000 merit points left from purchasing "Eight Forms of Vajra" and "Heart Tiger Stance". I also gained 110 merit points from patrolling with Lü Zehai these past few days.

Adding the 6,000 points gained from killing Chen Tao, the total is 7,100 merit points.

Jiang Heng put his phone away and then asked, "Section Chief Liao, there's something else I need to ask you first."

My accumulated merit points should be over 10,000 now, so can I apply for a promotion?

Liao Junhui was slightly taken aback: "That's possible... You've broken through to the second level of physical body cultivation?"

He hadn't looked closely before, but now that he did, Jiang Heng's aura was indeed much calmer and more ferocious.

Jiang Heng nodded: "Yes, I just broke through yesterday."

An eighteen-year-old with a level two physical body...

Liao Junhui paused for a moment, then replied, "There's no need to apply. The application process is too complicated. I'll contact Director Jiang directly for you..."

He then picked up his phone and made a call.

"Director, there's a new recruit in the bureau who has met the requirements for promotion to team leader... Yes, a new recruit, who just transitioned from the reserve team to a full member."

After a brief chat, Liao Junhui hung up the phone.

"Director Jiang is in his office. He wants you to go there now."

"Okay, thank you, Section Chief Liao."

Jiang Heng left the Internal Affairs Department office and headed to the director's office on the fifth floor.

……

Jiang Yunliang, director of the Wu'an Bureau of Yuquan District, is a middle-aged man wearing glasses, around fifty or sixty years old, with a slightly hunched back, and his blood and energy are already declining.

Jiang Yunliang is a veteran of the Wu'an Bureau in Yuquan District, and it is rare for someone to have worked there for thirty years.

When the previous director, who was at the fourth level of physical strength, retired, the Nanjiang Martial Security Bureau did not have any other martial artists at the fourth level of physical strength available, so Jiang Yunliang, who was at the third level of physical strength, took over.

Although Jiang Yunliang was always conscientious in his work, his level three physical strength was ultimately no match for the monsters and demons in Yuquan District...

Jiang Yunliang carefully reviewed Jiang Heng's resume, then looked up and scrutinized Jiang Heng.

After watching for a while, he smiled and said, "Sorry, it's been too long since I've seen an eighteen-year-old with a level two physical body, so I'm a little curious."

Jiang Heng asked, "Director, is it rare to see an eighteen-year-old with a level two physical body?"

"It's very rare. They might be found in downtown Nanjiang or in Tianfu provincial capital, but they won't appear in the Wu'an Bureau."

Jiang Heng understood.

Even if there are geniuses in the Wu'an Bureau, they must follow the principle of "earning rewards for merits" and gradually start to grow.

If the sons of politicians and businessmen in the city center are martial arts geniuses, they will certainly not lack resources and will naturally have the opportunity to break through to the second level of physical body at the age of eighteen.

"You have now broken through to the second level of physical body and accumulated more than 10,000 merit points, which meets the requirements for promotion. I will help you apply for promotion to the General Administration. It will probably take about half a month."

Jiang Yunliang continued, "Under normal circumstances, it will definitely pass."

You can first think about which area you want to be in charge of. Currently, there are thirteen areas to choose from in Yuquan District. You can think about it carefully.

As for the reassignment of your team members, the bureau will reassign them from other teams.

Jiang Heng nodded and prepared to take his leave.

At this moment, Jiang Yunliang suddenly remembered something and spoke up:

"By the way, you can start practicing the Level 2 Breathing Technique at the armory ahead of time. I'll contact Captain Bai of the reserve team; there's no need to wait until half a month later."

The breathing techniques in the Wu'an Bureau do not require spending merit points to learn, but you need to reach the corresponding rank and military grade.

To practice the Level 2 Breathing Technique within the Armory, one must reach the rank of Sergeant, which is equivalent to officially becoming a team leader in the Armory Security Bureau.

Jiang Yunliang's words essentially gave Jiang Heng the convenience of practicing the second-level breathing technique ahead of time.

Jiang Heng was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Director Jiang."

"Okay, go ahead."

Jiang Yunliang adjusted his glasses and said with a kind smile, "Focus on your cultivation. I'm no longer useful, but the future of the Martial Security Bureau still rests on you young people."

……

Jiang Heng left the office and then contacted Bai Yong, who told him that he would be at the martial arts room in the bureau at 2 p.m.

Then, at 2 PM, Jiang Heng arrived at the entrance of the martial arts room.

At this moment, in the martial arts room, Bai Yong was instructing Qin An on his martial arts training.

Seeing this, Jiang Heng asked curiously, "Is this... special treatment?"

Qin An said irritably, "I paid Captain Bai to instruct me in martial arts. Do you think everyone is as freakish as you?"

Bai Yong also stopped instructing Qin An and turned to look at Jiang Heng: "The director has already contacted me. In such a short time, he has broken through to the second level of physical body..."

The candlelight breathing method seems to work perfectly for you, without any side effects. It seems you're really suited to this breathing method.

Bai Yong shook his head and walked out of the martial arts room: "Qin An, you wait in the martial arts room for a while. I'll take Jiang Heng to the armory to get the breathing technique."

Qin An stood silently in place, without replying.

Of all the long things Bai Yong said, he only noticed one key point—

"To break through to the second level of physical body in such a short time..."
