Twice the Comprehension, Eidetic Memory!

Zheng Renxin remained unmoved, merely examining the corpses on the ground one by one.

Facing everyone's righteous indignation, Zheng Renxin calmly said, "Judging from their wounds, many were killed by a single palm strike from the bandits. A martial artist capable of unleashing such palm force must be an Organ Refining martial artist."

"An Organ Refining martial artist?"

"There was an Organ Refining martial artist among the bandits?"

"Family Head, are you certain you weren't mistaken?"

Upon hearing the words "Organ Refining martial artist," those who had just been clamoring to personally lead a team to capture the criminals fell silent.

Every one of them shut their mouths.

Clearly, the "deterrence" possessed by an Organ Refining martial artist made even Miraculous Garden's upper ranks feel extremely troubled.

Miraculous Garden also had Organ Refining martial artists.

Zheng Renxin himself was even an Organ Refining martial artist.

However, Miraculous Garden had only a handful of Organ Refining martial artists. If they fought the bandits and suffered any losses, who would be able to hold down Miraculous Garden's vast enterprise?

Risking their lives against bandits with nothing to lose?

Miraculous Garden would never do such a thing.

"Have the Guard Team step up their patrols and assign additional guards to every pharmacy."

"Then go to the yamen and have the constables search the entire city."

Zheng Renxin made his arrangements in an orderly fashion.

In truth, such orders were merely meant to calm people's hearts.

There was simply no way they could catch the bandits, nor could they guard against them.

Zheng Renxin only hoped that after pulling off such a major crime, those bandits would flee as soon as possible.

As for revenge?

It was utterly impossible. Miraculous Garden could only swallow this grievance themselves!

Lu Changsheng watched how Zheng Renxin handled the matter.

He immediately understood Zheng Renxin's intentions.

Such a vast Miraculous Garden actually intended to endure it?

There was only one reason: there was an Organ Refining martial artist among the bandits!

A single Organ Refining martial artist could intimidate all of Miraculous Garden.

"What use are more silver, a larger estate, or more guards?"

"One Organ Refining martial artist can leave Miraculous Garden helpless. What if it were a Divine Strength Realm martial artist?"

"Perhaps a single Divine Strength Realm martial artist could make Miraculous Garden bow its head and grant whatever was demanded..."

At that moment, Lu Changsheng understood the importance of a martial artist's strength more deeply than ever.

This was, after all, a world where strength reigned supreme.

Martial arts were the foundation!

After nightfall, a large iron cauldron sat in Lu Changsheng's room.

The cauldron was filled to the brim with iron sand.

Lu Changsheng had gone to great lengths to obtain this special iron sand, which was specifically used to practice the Iron Sand Palm.

Because he had lacked this crucial iron sand, his Iron Sand Palm had remained at Major Accomplishment and could not reach perfection.

Lu Changsheng then began training with both hands in the iron sand.

Once, twice, three times...

The rustling sound of sand echoed through the room.

After an unknown length of time, a line of small words suddenly appeared before Lu Changsheng's eyes.

"Iron Sand Palm perfected. Comprehension increased by 2."

"The Iron Sand Palm has reached perfection?"

Lu Changsheng was slightly stunned.

The Iron Sand Palm was merely a Second Rank Martial Skill, yet reaching perfection increased his comprehension by 2 points.

Under normal circumstances, an increase of 2 points in comprehension would not be much.

But things were different now.

Lu Changsheng's comprehension had reached 198. With these additional 2 points, it would become 200—roughly twice that of an ordinary person!

Twice the comprehension!

That would surely bring an enormous improvement.

"Buzz."

The next moment, Lu Changsheng felt a coolness wash over his mind.

And perhaps it was an illusion.

He felt that his thoughts had become much quicker.

It was as though he had undergone a qualitative leap!

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes, as though something was brewing in his mind.

"Whoosh."

The next moment, Lu Changsheng abruptly opened his eyes.

The Dagger in his hand flashed and vanished. His body moved like a phantom, seeming as though he had never moved at all.

Yet the table not far before him had already lost a corner.

"Instant Kill Technique perfected. Comprehension increased by 5."

Another line of small words appeared before Lu Changsheng's eyes.

"The Instant Kill Technique has also reached perfection..."

Lu Changsheng's gaze remained calm.

This was within his expectations.

Because the moment his comprehension reached 200, he had vaguely grasped the key to the Instant Kill Technique.

When he tried it, he had actually reached perfection in one go.

With 200 points of comprehension, his ability to comprehend had shown immediate results, directly bringing the Instant Kill Technique to perfection.

"The Instant Kill Technique increased comprehension by 5 points. That means it is a Fifth Rank Martial Skill, not the Third or Fourth Rank Martial Skill I previously guessed it to be."

"I never expected that I would create a Fifth Rank Martial Skill while still in the Blood Strengthening Realm."

Even Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

He had never seen a Fifth Rank Martial Skill before.

The Instant Kill Technique was the only Fifth Rank Martial Skill Lu Changsheng had encountered so far!

Lu Changsheng then checked the Attribute Panel.

Host: Lu Changsheng

Comprehension: 205 (Considerable Potential)

Instant Kill Technique: Perfected

Iron Sand Palm: Perfected

Six Heavens Blood Strengthening Technique: Fourth Layer

On the Attribute Panel, once his comprehension reached 200 points, even its evaluation had changed from "Average Talent" to "Considerable Potential."

Clearly, this was a kind of comprehension "transformation."

Previously, when Lu Changsheng's comprehension had transformed from "utterly ordinary" to "Average Talent," the effect had already been excellent.

Now that it had transformed from "Average Talent" to "Considerable Potential," the effect was even more terrifying.

"When comprehension doubles, it undergoes a qualitative improvement."

"Then how many comprehension points will the next improvement require?"

Lu Changsheng shook his head. He did not know.

Perhaps 300 points, perhaps 500 points.

However, even with his current 205 points of comprehension, it felt as though Lu Changsheng had "relearned" the entire world.

The world was still the same world, and he was still the same person.

Yet Lu Changsheng's understanding was completely different from before.

The feeling could not be clearly explained, yet he could distinctly sense that he was utterly different from his former self.

Lu Changsheng thought of a way to test it.

He took a Medical Sutra from the bookshelf.

The Medical Sutra contained over three thousand kinds of medicinal herbs, and Lu Changsheng had not finished memorizing it before.

But now, he merely gave it a rough glance, his eyes sweeping over ten lines at once as he kept turning page after page.

"Snap."

After about two hours, Lu Changsheng closed the book.

He closed his eyes.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng actually recalled the contents of the Medical Sutra he had just skimmed through in his mind.

Though some parts were not yet entirely clear, most of the contents had appeared in his mind.

"Eidetic Memory..."

Lu Changsheng's eyes were filled with astonishment.

He was now certain that he possessed eidetic memory.

This was the terrifying ability brought by comprehension reaching 200 points.

Yet even such an ability was merely considered "Considerable Potential."

Moreover, eidetic memory was only an ability related to memory.

The improvement in comprehension was far more than an improvement in memory.

It also included comprehension, observation, and many other aspects.

"Whew..."

Lu Changsheng calmed his emotions slightly.

The rise in comprehension had stirred his emotions as well.

"If I want my comprehension to keep improving, I must continue practicing Martial Skills."

"However, there are not many Second Rank Martial Skills left in the Black Market."

"Once I finish practicing the Second Rank Martial Skills, I'll have to practice Third Rank Martial Skills. And the price of Third Rank Martial Skills is not something Second Rank Martial Skills can compare to."

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly.

Silver again!

Previously, Lu Changsheng had needed to spend a great deal of silver to buy Medicinal Cuisine.

Now, buying Martial Skills also required a great deal of silver.

There were not many medicinal herbs left in the Valley, either.

How was he supposed to earn silver from now on?

"During the day, Miraculous Garden's people said those bandits looted the pharmacies and took more than three thousand taels in cash alone."

"If I can find those bandits and kill them..."

A trace of coldness flashed through Lu Changsheng's eyes.

However, he hurriedly shook his head.

"Not yet. I am only in the Blood Strengthening Realm, while that group of bandits includes an Organ Refining martial artist."

"Even though my Instant Kill Technique has reached perfection, I still have little confidence against an Organ Refining martial artist."

"Unless my Six Heavens Blood Strengthening Technique reaches the Sixth Layer. Or I enter the Bone Forging Realm..."

Lu Changsheng murmured softly.

For the time being, Lu Changsheng suppressed this dangerous thought.

Yet the idea had taken root in his mind, impossible to dispel.
