Chapter 50 - 50 Breakthrough
50 Breakthrough
The director of the Night Patrol Division was having a headache. Initially, he only wanted to help this mysterious expert disrupt their vision and use his name to scare the Senluo Organization. Therefore, he announced to the public that the person who killed the bounty hunters was a night patroller who doesn’t want to reveal his name.
However, now that this person was on the Genius Bounty List, not only did the Feiyuan Palace want to know who this person was, but even the Sect Master of the Red Tiger Sect was curious about this night patroller who did not want to reveal his name.
This made the director of the Night Patrol Division feel awkward.
“How the hell would I know who he is!”
Faced with the continuous questioning from all sides, The director of the Night Patrol Division could only brace himself and reply righteously. “I’m sorry! I promised the other party that I wouldn’t reveal his identity. No matter who it is, I won’t tell them. This is a promise I made. I won’t go back on it!”
The captain of team D, who knew the truth, gave him a thumbs up. “Director, you’re righteous!”
…
When Xiao Shi completed the fifth Body Tempering, it was already the latter half of the night.
This Body Tempering was as usual. His body was strengthened in all aspects again. His blood and qi surged. His strength had further improved. Although there was not much change in his size, his skin had become more lustrous and moist, especially at night.
His entire state was very different from during the day. Just like Night Beauty, it bloomed at night.
At this moment, Xiao Shi seemed to be in this blooming state. Originally, Night Tiger’s cultivation had made Xiao Shi feel a sense of affinity with the night. Now, this affinity was even stronger. It made him love the night even more.
He immediately tried to cultivate Night Tiger. He instantly felt that the Night Tiger’s cultivation was much smoother than before! It was even smoother than when he used Night Frost Dew.
This made Xiao Shi extremely excited.
This Body Tempering not only brought about an increase in strength, but it also resolved the problem of Night Tiger’s slow cultivation. With his current cultivation speed, he believed that he would soon be able to cultivate Night Tiger to the ninth level.
He could catch up to the progress of the Red Tiger Technique.
Xiao Shi was very confident about this. Just like that, in the remaining time, Xiao Shi devoted himself to cultivating. During the day, he cultivated the Red Tiger Technique. At night, he would cultivate Night Tiger.
Occasionally, he would drink with Yang Zhen, Wang Changhuan, and the other familiar night patrollers. Then, he bragged to Cen Qingci about their idol.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
In the room, Xiao Shi finally completed the final cultivation of the Red Tiger Technique with the complete circulation of the ninth Heavenly Cycle of the Red Tiger Technique. From there, he directly broke through and stepped into the highest level of the Martial Entry-Level, the ninth level of the Martial Entry-Level!
Xiao Shi felt the surging blood and qi in his body. The moment he broke through, the blood and qi in his body increased terrifyingly.
It was at least four to five times more than before he broke through!
Such a huge amount of qi and blood made him feel that if he faced the two ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level bounty hunters of the Senluo Organization again, he could kill them even without the swamp formation!
Usually, after most Martial Entry-Level Nine martial artists cultivated to the limit, their bodies would reach the limit and they would not be able to improve anymore.
However, to Xiao Shi, who practiced Body Tempering, his body had no limits.
Just at the Martial Entry-Level, he could undergo four more Body Tempering. As long as he reached the ninth Body Tempering, he could cultivate the Nine Vajra Body and break through from the Martial Entry-Level with his physical strength.
“Next is the natural treasures needed for Body Tempering!”
Xiao Shi’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
As the Senluo Organization had already been completely deterred by him, no bounty hunter dared to enter Golden Cloud City. This also caused Xiao Shi to not be able to see the bounty hunter in the city for the past month.
Although he had completed three more missions, these three missions were relatively simple. Two of the missions were successfully completed without any kills. In the end, not only did he not kill any martial artists above Martial Entry-Level Seven, but he only obtained a medicinal pill that could increase his perception. Moreover, the quality was not high.
After consuming it, Xiao Shi did not feel much improvement.
He did not gain anything in the past month.
Xiao Shi mainly cultivated this month. Apart from successfully completing the ninth Heavenly Cycle of the Red Tiger Technique, Night Tiger was about to reach the ninth level. This cultivation speed was unprecedented in the entire Red Tiger Sect. Even if he used Night Frost Dew every day, it was impossible for his cultivation speed to be so fast.
Once he cultivated Night Tiger to the ninth level, Xiao Shi’s strength at night would be three times that of during the day.
Now that his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Martial Entry-Level, Xiao Shi was also prepared to start exterminating the evil forces around Golden Cloud City.
In this month, he had a certain understanding of the surrounding large and small factions. This way, he could choose suitable targets.
To Xiao Shi, he tried his best to kill enemies or evil people. Although this was a chaotic world, Xiao Shi could not kill anyone he saw. He still had a bottom line in his heart.
“Then, let’s start with this Sandstorm Stronghold!”
Xiao Shi quickly had a goal.
The Sandstorm Stronghold was a bandit stronghold. Usually, these bandits in the stronghold were people who committed all kinds of crimes. He would not have any psychological burden when killing them.
According to the information Xiao Shi had found, the strongest person in this stronghold was only at the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level. There was no Qi Martial Realm.
It was just right.
That night, Xiao Shi moved out. Currently, he was in the middle of a mission and had plenty of time.
That night, he went straight to the Sandstorm Stronghold.
This bandit stronghold was not far from Golden Cloud City. It was located in a col. When Xiao Shi appeared in this mountain stronghold in the outfit of a night patroller, many bandits in the stronghold surrounded him with fierce eyes.
Not only were these bandits not afraid of the night patroller, but they were also filled with killing intent and greed. They thought that by killing the night patroller, they could exchange the corpse of the night patroller for a bounty in the Senluo Organization.
All of them rubbed their palms together, eager to give it a try.
“How dare you barge into our stronghold alone?” The Sandstorm Stronghold’s chief’s gaze was cold. Especially when he discovered that the other party’s blood and qi fluctuation was only at the sixth level of the Martial Entry-Level, the killing intent in his heart rose.
However, before he could give the order to attack, this night patroller with a bamboo hat and a black scarf over his face attacked faster than him. His figure flashed. It was like an arc of light flickering.
Wherever he passed, the surrounding bandits fell to the ground.
“You have a death wish!” The chief of the Sandstorm Stronghold growled. He quickly went forward and erupted with his ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level cultivation. Together with the other bandits, he attacked this night patroller.
The killing intent in Xiao Shi’s eyes was intense. There was also excitement and anticipation. In his eyes, these bandits were all items.
As long as this stronghold was destroyed, he would definitely gain a lot!
