Second Level Perfection

Early in the morning, after finishing his Iron Cloth practice, Chen Ping'an ate breakfast and headed to the South Spring Neighborhood Pacification Office for duty.

At today's pre-duty meeting, all five Constable Heads were present because Deputy Constable Director Tian Fulang was participating.

Tian Fulang, speaking from the high platform, seemed to be in a good mood.

Not long after the South City Pacification Office's bounty list was issued, the South Spring Lane had already killed Mottled Fish, a remnant of the Green Fish Gang. Reporting this matter to the South City Pacification Office was a huge face-saver.

Tian Fulang still remembered that when he reported yesterday, the Constable Director and Deputy Constable Director of Green Willow Lane had faces that turned green.

"Zheng Shiyong and Tan Huacong jointly killed Mottled Fish, a remnant of the Green Fish Gang. Among them, Zheng Shiyong delivered the final blow, earning Middle Merit and a reward of ten taels of silver. Tan Huacong assisted effectively, earning two Small Merits and a reward of five taels of silver. Chen Ping'an provided useful clues, earning one Small Merit and a reward of five taels of silver."

Tian Fulang announced the results of the bounty commendation.

"Zheng Shiyong, Tan Huacong, Chen Ping'an, you are all the elite of our South Spring Lane! I am very happy," Tian Fulang praised the three profusely. "Especially Zheng Shiyong, who hasn't been with our South Spring Neighborhood Pacification Office for long but has already achieved such a greatcontribution! The matter of being officially registered has already been reported to the South City Pacification Office. I think highly of you! Your future potential is limitless!"

Tian Fulang's words made Zheng Shiyong below ecstatic.

Being praised by Tian Fulang in front of so many constables was truly an immense honor. With Tian Fulang leading the way, the surrounding constables also didn't spare their praise. The sounds of praise made Zheng Shiyong feel a bit lightheaded.

"It is all thanks to the guidance of the Constable Director, Lord Tian, and all the Constable Heads that Shiyong has achieved thiscontribution today."

Zheng Shiyong's face was flushed with excitement, and his voice was high-pitched.

"Good, not bad." Zheng Shiyong's reply satisfied Tian Fulang. This young man was quite capable and could be nurtured!

Zheng Zhenwu stood behind Tian Fulang, also in a good mood. With Zheng Shiyong'scontribution, his face also shone with glory.

Tan Huacong stood among the many constables, his face full of smiles.

With Zheng Shiyong taking the lead, he had merely fabricated a bunch of nonsense and gained two Small Merits for nothing. It seemed that this matter had no risk whatsoever.

Clearly, that kid Chen Ping'an had come to his senses!

Thinking this, Tan Huacong looked at the corner where Chen Ping'an was. He saw the young man's face was calm, his eyes deep, wondering what he was thinking.

The bounty commendation at the South Spring Neighborhood Pacification Office concluded smoothly. At the end, Tian Fulang even called Zheng Shiyong over separately.

"Ping'an, the five taels of reward silver have been issued! Quick, treat us!"

Monkey Head said excitedly, as if he himself had received the five taels of silver reward.

"Okay, I'll treat," Chen Ping'an said with a smile.

"Five taels of silver, that's several months' salary! I have to really fleece you, hmm, let me think..." Monkey Head pretended to lower his head in thought.

"Da Shan, what about you? What do you want to eat?" Chen Ping'an asked.

"Anything is fine," Da Shan said with a simple smile.

The atmosphere was relaxed, and the few of them left the South Spring Neighborhood Pacification Office.

The entire morning, Monkey Head clamored about wanting to thoroughly fleece Chen Ping'an. But when noon actually arrived, they just ate a bowl of noodles.

Chen Ping'an had wanted to treat them to something good, but Monkey Head insisted that a noodle stall they passed by was fated to him and he had to eat there. Da Shan also chimed in, and finally, reluctantly, they followed their wishes and ate a bowl of noodles.

While eating the noodles, Monkey Head was still shouting loudly about eating Chen Ping'an into bankruptcy. When ordering his noodles, he very generously asked the boss to add a Spare Rib.

Just a few days after the pre-constable meeting, Zheng Shiyong's registration matter was fully approved by the South City Pacification Office.

Temporary Constable of South Spring Lane Pacification Office, Zheng Shiyong. His name was entered into the register, and he was officially promoted to Constable of South Spring Lane Pacification Office.

He was granted a wearing knife, which he did not need to return after his shift, giving him the right to wear it at all times. He was granted a waist tag, which proved his identity as a formal constable. In addition, he was also granted the Public Gate Thirteen Blades.

Zheng Shiyong's original temporary constable's soap uniform was also replaced with a formal constable's public uniform: a blue cloth garment, with a cross-collared, narrow-sleeved long robe, and a red woven belt tied around his waist. Standing among the other constables, he looked quite imposing.

Many temporary constables were extremely envious, and they gathered around Zheng Shiyong. Even the seasoned formal constables showed a desire to befriend him.

In terms of current status, Zheng Shiyong was already on par with them. What's more, he not only had the connection with Head Constable Zheng, but he had also gained the favor of Deputy Constable Director Tian Fulang in the past few days. His future prospects were bright!

Given time, he might very well become a powerful Head Constable in the South Spring Lane Pacification Office.

However, none of this had anything to do with Chen Ping'an.

Formal Constable

Chen Ping'an's mood was not affected in the slightest. He still patrolled the streets with Monkey Head and Da Shan, practicing his Iron Cloth.

In the following days, Chen Ping'an lived an extremely fulfilling life. In between, he even took a day off, accumulating a few more points of Iron Cloth cultivation experience than on normal days.

One evening, Chen Ping'an was practicing Iron Cloth in his small courtyard.

A familiar experience symbol appeared before Chen Ping'an's eyes.

"It's done!"

Looking at the faintly visible plus sign on the panel, a look of joy flashed across Chen Ping'an's face.

Without the slightest hesitation, he focused his mind and clicked on the plus sign.

Whoosh~

The experience points stirred, and specks of starlight surged towards his glabella.

The familiar feeling surged again, and incredibly complex information continuously poured into his mind.

These insights and experiences regarding Iron Cloth felt as if he had gained them through continuous day and night arduous cultivation, practical combat insights, experience reviews, and his own understanding.

Everything was natural!

Name: Chen Ping'an

Realm: Qi Blood Second Level Perfection

Martial Art: Iron Cloth Perfection

The changes in Chen Ping'an were not just about the insights and experiences of Iron Cloth, but also the changes in his qi blood and skin. At this time, Chen Ping'an's qi blood was full, and his strength had increased again. His skin, which was originally comparable to cowhide, had become even more solid. It was as if two layers of extremely thick cowhide were stacked together.

Iron Cloth Perfection! Qi Blood Second Level Perfection!

Little Tiger Lord of the Tiger Head Gang was only at the Martial Path realm of Qi Blood Second Level Perfection.

In less than a month, Chen Ping'an had gone from an ordinary person who knew nothing about the Martial Path to being on par with Little Tiger Lord.

Among the many constables in South Spring Lane, Chen Ping'an's strength had also reached its peak, representing the pinnacle of a formal constable. Any higher would be the level of a constable head.

"After delaying for so many days, with Qi Blood Second Level Perfection, it's time to go to the black market."

Chen Ping'an wiped his body clean and put on the clothes he had prepared.

With Iron Cloth perfected but no martial arts techniques, his martial path cultivation would stagnate. Based on this, Chen Ping'an had naturally made preparations early.

Five nights ago, he went to the black market. After some effort, he found a suitable channel. Within his limited budget, he ordered a handwritten copy of a low-grade martial art technique from the black market.

In reality, if he weren't short on money, Chen Ping'an would definitely have chosen to buy martial arts techniques at the Treasure Pavilion in the city.

That way, he could practice martial arts openly and honestly.

What a pity!

He didn't have enough money!

Compared to the martial arts prices in the Treasure Pavilion, which easily cost ten or even dozens of taels, the black market was undoubtedly much more cost-effective!

The agreed time for the transaction was tonight.

PS: Don't rush, don't rush, the protagonist will definitely have a blast later. He will kill in all directions and suppress all who dare to disobey! I am the rule, I am the general trend of the world, who dares to defy! Kill without mercy!

It needs a little time. The outline and detailed outline have already reached beyond three hundred chapters, and I am also looking forward to the later plot.
