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

West Bin Street.

The night was dark when a car screeched to a halt on the side of the road.

"Your place is fucking a mess!"

Zhang Qing stared at the bullet holes in the car window, his face ashen, huddled in the driver's seat, trembling.

Just now, he drove Jiang Heng back to Xibin Street, and crossed a street intersection along the way.

As it turned out, a gang fight broke out there, and some members of the motorcycle gang even pulled out handguns and fired repeatedly.

Just then, a bullet pierced through the window of Zhang Qing's car, grazed past his eyes, and nearly hit Jiang Heng...

Jiang Heng opened the car door, got out, and calmly glanced at the bullet in his hand.

"Brother Zhang, are you alright? Should we go to the hospital to get checked out?"

The shards of glass from the broken car window cut Zhang Qing's face.

Zhang Qing recovered and shook his head: "I'm fine. I didn't hit anything. I'll just apply some ointment when I get back."

He looked up at Jiang Heng and couldn't help but say, "The place you're living in is too dangerous. You'd better move out as soon as possible."

Jiang Heng nodded: "Yeah, I know. I'll move out when the lease expires. Brother Zhang, you should go back early too, it gets more dangerous here the later it gets."

Zhang Qing's face tightened upon hearing this, and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, then you should go back quickly too."

He then quickly started the car and drove away.

……

Watching Zhang Qing's car disappear from sight, Jiang Heng threw the scrap metal in his hand into the overgrown weeds beside the road.

In the distance, the sounds of shouting, cursing, and fleeing could still be heard, occasionally interspersed with a few gunshots.

Jiang Heng frowned slightly, and the joy he had felt from being admitted to the Wu'an Bureau faded considerably.

They actually have guns...

Guns have always been banned in Nanjiang City, so firearms are very rare in the city.

The reason he ignored the gangs on West Beach Street before was largely because they posed no threat to him.

But now that this group of people has handguns, the situation is different...

A strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in Jiang Heng's heart.

If one day I'm walking down the street, someone suddenly shoots me from behind.

Even if he were only at level 0.99 in terms of physical strength, he still wouldn't be able to withstand it.

No one can guarantee that these gangsters won't suddenly go crazy.

A gun is only a good thing when it's in your own hands.

As for moving... Jiang Heng had this idea at first, but now he doesn't really want to move.

The original owner's social network from the past six years is right here. If he wants to prepare various poisons for himself, he still has to go through the original owner's channels.

Therefore, we cannot move out for the time being.

Thinking of this, he slowly narrowed his eyes: "Those motorcycle gang members who opened fire must be the Fiery Wolf Gang from the south side of West Bund Street..."

……

Back to the rental house.

Jiang Heng first took out his phone and sent a message to Uncle Chen.

[Jiang Heng: Uncle Chen, I successfully passed the exam and got into the Wu'an Bureau.]

After waiting for several minutes, Uncle Chen did not respond.

Jiang Heng wasn't surprised. Uncle Chen often did this before, disappearing for ten days or half a month without replying to messages.

Turning off his phone, Jiang Heng tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, pondering his future path.

Getting into the Wu'an Bureau is not the end, but just the beginning.

A physical body level of 0.99 does not mean that he now has the ability to protect himself.

Take what just happened as an example.

Organized crime is rampant in Nanjiang City, with some powerful groups even able to operate openly within the city limits.

The city may seem peaceful and stable on the surface, but who knows how much darkness and filth lurks beneath the surface.

Let alone those at the first or second level of physical strength, those gangs and enterprises in the city center probably have experts at the fourth level of physical strength, who are capable of withstanding rocket-propelled grenades.

My own abilities are really not enough to compete with.

Moreover, the ruling power of coalition governments has declined, and local separatism and warlord conflicts have emerged around the world.

The Thai-Myanmar Administrative Region, located several hundred kilometers south of Namjang City, was Southeast Asia two hundred years ago.

This period was marked by a chaotic battle between the government forces and local separatist forces.

From time to time, martial arts criminals would smuggle themselves across the border and infiltrate Nanjiang City, attracting the attention of the martial arts security bureau to apprehend them.

Based on the various heated discussions and analyses online...

If a full-scale war breaks out in the Thai-Myanmar administrative region, the flames of war are likely to spread northward, engulfing Nam Giang City, which will inevitably lead to widespread devastation.

His current physical body, at level 0.99, can't withstand a single 5.56 bullet.

Thinking about this...

Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes, extended his five fingers, and slowly clenched his fist.

A powerful force surged between his knuckles, bursting forth with a series of rapid, popping sounds.

"Get stronger, you still need to keep getting stronger..."

Before officially becoming a member of the Martial Security Bureau, one must break through to the first level of physical strength!

……

For the next few days, Jiang Heng no longer needed to go to work at the Urban Management Bureau.

So he retreated to his rented room to practice his spiritual cultivation.

Practicing meditation for 8 hours a day brought the intensity of my chronic complex lung disease to its peak.

Then, through the [Disease Erosion] harvest, I will prepare to break through the physical body level to level 1.0.

When your physical body level is stuck at 0.99, there are two ways to break through to 1.0.

The first method is to force a breakthrough by using auxiliary drugs to push beyond the limits.

Its advantages are speed and efficiency.

However, the downside is that the breakthrough is not perfect, and there may be a small number of cases where the physical body does not reach the corresponding strength.

The second method is to let things take their natural course, gradually breaking through this barrier through continuous practice.

The only drawback of this method is its slow speed.

For a martial artist with average talent, it might take several months to advance to the first level of physical body cultivation.

However, Jiang Heng can speed up and skip this step through [Disease Erosion].

……

Four days later.

Jiang Heng opened his eyes after finishing his cultivation.

His skin was slightly red, and his breathing was unstable.

Now, his physical strength is approaching the zero-level limit.

Even without the erosion of the body, the chronic complex lung disease in the body begins to be suppressed by the body's strong resistance, making it difficult for it to continue to worsen.

"That's about it, I should be able to break through to level one today..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng had a sudden thought.

"Disease erodes, transformation occurs!"

Then, a warm and mysterious power surged from his body, quickly clearing away his severe chronic lung disease and transforming and strengthening his physical body.

The physical strength, which was already at its limit, began to increase again under the impetus of this force.

It's like adding more water to a pool that's already full.

Hundreds of muscles rippled all over his body like a swimming python, causing his shirt to bounce as well.

Finally, it broke through the limits and entered a new realm.

An indescribable sense of exhilaration flowed through my entire body, as if every cell in my body was resonating with joy, my spirit trembled, and even my soul seemed to be sublimated.

The change gradually disappeared after a few minutes.

Jiang Heng opened his eyes, still savoring the feeling from just now.

The joy of this evolution of life is indescribable; it seems to be the most wonderful pleasure in the world.

He gradually processed this feeling, got up and went into the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror, and took off his shirt.

A half-naked body is displayed in the mirror, with smooth and clear muscle lines and a tall and upright physique.

Every muscle is as tough as steel wire, containing explosive power.

"Cool……"

Jiang Heng admired his perfect body for a while with satisfaction, then a thought occurred to him.

A series of crisscrossing rays of light converged into a semi-transparent light curtain in the field of vision.
