Intelligence updates daily; I achieve sainthood in the martial arts of the public service.

5:30 a.m.

Tu Yuan had already gotten up and dressed.

At this moment, he was radiant, and even his eyes seemed more profound.

This added a unique charm to his already handsome appearance.

Tu Yuan stood by the bed, looking at his 1.8-meter-wide double bed.

Then slowly bend over, hook one hand on the bed beam, and exert a little force.

The entire wooden bed, along with its heavy mattress, was lifted half a meter high by him with ease.

Moreover, he did not feel any effort was required.

You should know that although he could lift this double bed before, he could never do it so easily.

"My current strength is probably at least 600 jin (300 kg)."

"Of course, my current physical condition cannot be simply measured by strength. Apart from strength, I have made great progress in speed, endurance, and resistance to blows."

"With the help of police grappling techniques, police combat techniques, and police wrestling techniques, I can easily take on six or seven strong adult men on my own."

"Even without considering the risk of injury, I could probably take on at least ten strong, adult men single-handedly."

"According to the Federation, this martial arts practitioner's physical abilities have surpassed the limits that ordinary people can achieve."

"This is a transformation of the body from the inside out, hence the saying 'one-transformation martial artist'."

"Throughout the entire federal government, there are probably at least tens of millions of martial arts practitioners like me."

"Add to that the million martial artists, hundreds of thousands of mentalists, and numerous individuals of extraordinary strength, and the resulting power structure—just thinking about it is terrifying!"

"Those at the very top of this pyramid of power, every word they utter carries immense power!"

Tu Yuan's eyes held a hint of longing and anticipation.

However, that position is too far away for him now.

He has three goals right now: to improve his skills, to get promoted, and to build his own network of relationships!

Putting his thoughts aside, Tu Yuan went to the living room to begin his cultivation.

With his current physical condition as a martial arts student, his body is already able to withstand two hours of training without the aid of drugs.

So he got up an hour earlier this morning than usual.

He used to get up at 6:30 most of the time.

Now it has been changed to 5:30.

Standing in the empty space of the living room, Tu Yuan assumed a fighting stance, and his breathing began to take on a strange rhythm.

This breathing rhythm is different from the breathing rhythm Tu Yuan used when he was cultivating.

However, his body movements remained the same as before.

The 13th edition of the Federal Basic Body Training Method has three breathing rhythms.

Each breathing rhythm corresponds to a cultivator of different strength.

Now that Tu Yuan has become a first-stage martial artist, his breathing rhythm must naturally be the same as that of a first-stage martial artist.

As Tu Yuan practiced this breathing rhythm, he immediately sensed a difference.

The flow of heat generated within his body was twice as fast as it had been during his previous cultivation!

This means that his current cultivation efficiency is twice as high as before!

Ten minutes later, the heat flow completed a full cycle within Tu Yuan's body.

The previous Sunday's time was twenty minutes.

More importantly, he can now sustain a single training session for an hour longer than before.

Now he can practice for four hours a day.

By this calculation, he can now cultivate for the equivalent of four days in the past in just one day.

Wouldn't that mean you could increase your progress by 1 point a day and still have some left over?

But why is it that many of the regular police officers who have the strength of a first-level martial artist are stuck at this level for five or six years and have not been able to become a second-level martial artist?

Perhaps after becoming a martial arts practitioner, it takes more cycles of cultivation to increase one point of progress?

With these thoughts in mind, Tu Yuan continued his practice of the Body Tempering Technique without any pause.

Two hours passed quickly.

7:35 a.m.

Tu Yuan looked at the cultivation progress displayed on the Heavenly Coins.

[Thirteenth Edition Body Tempering Method: 0/100 (Transformation into a Martial Artist)]

"Before becoming a martial arts master, completing eighteen cycles of the Heavenly Cycle will increase your progress by 1 point."

"In just two hours, I completed twelve cycles of the circulatory system. I can complete twenty-four cycles in a day."

"After advancing in realm, the requirement to accumulate 1 point of progress will be higher. I don't know how many cycles of cultivation it will take to increase 1 point of progress."

Tu Yuan then went into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and then fed Huru cat food.

He then put on his uniform and headed towards the police station.

Tu Yuan arrived at the police station and, as usual, took three large meat buns, two fried dough sticks, and a bowl of soy milk.

After finishing his meal, Tu Yuan felt he hadn't had enough, so he went and got two more meat buns and a fried dough stick.

Aunt Xie from the Zhenghe Police Station canteen laughed when she saw this:

"Xiao Tu, you have quite an appetite today! You're almost as big as a regular police officer in the station!"

Tu Yuan smiled but didn't say anything.

After he broke through to become a martial arts student, his appetite also increased.

After finishing my meal, it wasn't yet 8:30, the start time for work.

After he starts work, he has to go to the general management office to update the "ability" section of his personal information form.

8:25.

Tu Yuan was resting at his desk in the large office.

Just then, He Chengjun walked in from the door.

Then his gaze swept around, finally settling on Tu Yuan.

"Tu Yuan, Ma Xiaolian, you two come with me, we have a police call!"

After Sun Guangrong's responsibilities were changed to routine police work.

He Chengjun, who had just gotten close to Sun Guangrong, was also implicated.

The regular police officers who had become close to him a few days ago have become distant again.

It seemed as if saying a single word to him would bring bad luck upon you.

Therefore, He Chengjun has been quite depressed these past two days.

He also harbored resentment towards Sun Guangrong, who had offended the director just to protect his brother-in-law.

That's just mindless behavior.

But he could only keep these words to himself and dared not say them aloud.

At this moment, Ma Xiaolian muttered a curse under her breath:

"Damn! This guy's calling for the two of us again!"

"What a problem!"

He was cursing, but he had already stood up.

"Here he comes, Brother Jun!"

After Tu Yuan stood up, he remained motionless.

He looked at He Chengjun and said:

"Brother Jun, I need to go to the general management office on the second floor later."

"Why don't you find someone else to respond to the call?"

Tu Yuan naturally cannot go on duty right now, because he needs to update his personal strength information, but he must pass the strength verification first.

The competence verification process requires going to the Xingsheng District Branch Office, where a competence test will be conducted using specialized equipment.

Police stations at that level are not equipped with that kind of equipment.

Therefore, you need to submit your application to the general office first, and then wait for approval and a review period.

If you submit your application as early as possible, he will most likely be able to review it in the afternoon.

If the application is submitted after the police response, it might be afternoon by the time it's approved, and the performance review might be scheduled for next Monday.

Not today.

We should definitely start the formal internship period as early as possible.

Therefore, Tu Yuan refused this police mission.

This is normal; not everyone has the time to respond to calls.

In the past, He Chengjun probably wouldn't have thought anything of it.

But at this time, he was extremely sensitive, and Tu Yuan's words took to heart.

That's just an excuse to reject him.

He Chengjun's eyes suddenly turned hostile as he looked at Tu Yuan.

It's one thing for the other regular officers to side with the station chief and distance themselves from him, but you, a trainee officer with no connections, no background, and nobody cares about you, are also trying to play this game?!

He Chengjun had been harboring anger and resentment for the past two days.

He dared not do anything to others, but he couldn't tolerate a trainee police officer like Tu Yuan.

"What could you possibly need to go to the general management office for?!"

"I think you're just trying to shirk your duties and avoid going out on duty, aren't you?"

"Hurry up! You have one minute to pack your things and come with me! Don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

He Chengjun spoke with anger, his tone carrying a sense of command and threat.
