With just one palm strike now, he could easily defeat and kill a peak Xiantian Realm martial artist.

His current strength already placed him among the top experts in a small place like Qingzhou.

He was in the same realm as Commander Feng and the White Lotus Envoy.

From the Xiantian Realm Ninth Layer to the Grandmaster Realm Second Layer, it wasn't just a realm advancement, but also a transformation of one's very life essence.

Su Fei looked inward at himself. His skin felt much smoother, his blood and qi were surging, and his strength had increased by several thousand jin.

His True Qi had surged dozens of times compared to before his breakthrough.

It seemed that ordinary people didn't experience such a significant increase when advancing to the Grandmaster realm.

What was going on?

Su Fei pondered for a moment and arrived at a conclusion.

He possessed the Nine Yang Divine Art, along with several Perfection Martial Arts.

Each Perfection Martial Art could increase his foundation and underlying potential.

One had to know that for ordinary martial artists, cultivating a single martial art to the Great Accomplishment Realm was already considered very good.

He still had twenty years of cultivation power left, which he would use to improve the Finger Flicking Divine Ability.

[Year 1: You practiced the Finger Flicking Divine Ability day and night, focusing on familiarizing yourself with the control of energy output by practicing against candlelight every day!]

[Year 10: You practiced tirelessly under a waterfall day and night, enduring the impact of the water flow on your arms. The energy from your fingertips grew more condensed, capable of piercing bluestone ten feet away. The Finger Flicking Divine Ability broke through to Minor Accomplishment!]

[Year 15: You used your fingers to manipulate objects, practicing against flying birds in the sky day and night. The energy output and retraction were under your control, allowing you to accurately strike down insects from a distance of thirty feet. The whistling sound of the finger wind was like tearing silk. The Finger Flicking Divine Ability broke through to Great Accomplishment!]

[Year 20: You achieved complete mastery. When the energy from your fingertips was condensed but not released, it was imperceptible and formless. However, when flicked out, it was like thunder splitting the sky, capable of piercing refined iron within twenty feet. The Finger Flicking Divine Ability broke through to Perfection!]

[Cultivation result feedback is being processed...]

Su Fei opened his current status panel.

[Host: Su Fei]

[Talent: God-tier Insight Technique]

[Realm: Grandmaster Realm Second Layer]

[Martial Arts: Nine Yang Divine Art - Level 6, Finger Flicking Divine Ability - Perfection, Fleeting Light Shadow - Perfection, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms - Perfection, Thunderous Saber Art - Perfection, Dragon Capturing Skill - Perfection]

[Current Cultivation Power: None]

What a luxurious panel, excellent.

Several half-man-high refined iron targets stood in the training ground, which Su Fei had specially ordered to be made. They were perfect for testing martial arts power.

He stood twenty feet away from the targets, took a deep breath, and slightly bent his right index finger.

The Nine Yang True Qi flowed through his body, circulating according to the Finger Flicking Divine Ability's cultivation method, transforming into a surge of True Qi that he released.

A faint sound of air being broken occurred, so fast it was almost impossible to react.

An almost imperceptible surge of energy flashed, instantly crossing twenty feet and accurately hitting the center of the refined iron target.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a soft "thud."

Su Fei walked over slowly to examine it. He saw a pinhole-sized hole in the refined iron target.

"The power is good, and the attack speed is also very fast."

Su Fei nodded in satisfaction.

The Perfection Realm Finger Flicking Divine Ability not only had a much longer range than ordinary hidden weapons but could also conceal its energy, allowing for surprise attacks to defeat enemies. It could be considered a formidable weapon for ambushing opponents.

Su Fei practiced for a while longer.

Seeing that the sky had already brightened considerably, he stretched and decided to head to the Thousand Households Office today.

Although he hadn't slept all night, he was still energetic, with no sign of fatigue on his face.

He hadn't reported to the Thousand Households Office for several days.

If he didn't go now, wouldn't it seem a bit too much?

As Su Fei entered the Thousand Households Office, he saw several Strongmen outside the duty room whispering to each other, their expressions filled with excitement.

Upon seeing him, one of them quickly stepped forward, his tone filled with reverence.

"Officer Su, you're finally here. Commander is waiting for you in the duty room since this morning. We heard that you, Sir Su, captured the Plum Blossom alone. We are all incredibly impressed with you."

Su Fei nodded, not saying much, and walked directly towards Commander Feng's duty room.

He had barely knocked on the door when Commander Feng's urgent voice came from inside.

"Is that Su Fei? Come in quickly."

Pushing the door open, he saw Commander Feng pacing inside the room with his hands behind his back. He suddenly turned around, his gaze locking onto Su Fei like lightning. His usually steady face showed a hint of disbelief and urgency.

"You actually captured Plum Blossom? That dead eunuch Wang Meng brought back, he really is Plum Blossom."

Su Fei's explanation was brief and to the point.

"Yes."

"I apprehended him last night near the household registration office. I've confirmed his identity, and there are no issues."

Commander Feng stared at him for a long moment, then suddenly strode forward, grabbing his arm. His voice was filled with excitement.

"Do you know what this means? That scoundrel has been on the run for five or six years, and has killed so many innocent women. The combined bounties from various regions are not a small sum, and you just caught him."

He recalled his own excitement when he first received the news.

"By the way, how did you emasculate him?"

"For scum like him, there's no need to adhere to any chivalrous code."

Commander Feng was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, patting Su Fei's shoulder repeatedly.

"Well said, 'no need to adhere to any code.' That's exactly how you should treat these Flower Picking Thieves. Let's see if any other Flower Picking Thieves dare to commit crimes in the future."

He walked to his desk, picked up a freshly written memorial, his excitement still palpable.

"I just received Wang Meng's report this morning and thought he had the wrong person. After all, Plum Blossom's Lightness Skill is so advanced that even Grandmasters can't catch him."

At this point, Commander Feng suddenly realized something. He looked Su Fei up and down, his eyes growing increasingly astonished.

"No, how did you catch Plum Blossom? Has your Lightness Skill surpassed that of a Grandmaster?"

"Besides your profound internal energy cultivation and powerful palm techniques, you're also skilled in a Lightness Skill, aren't you?"

Facing the question, Su Fei's expression remained calm as he replied.

"I just enjoy cultivating martial arts. I simply spend a few extra hours practicing each day."

"Spend a few extra hours practicing each day? So you really are skilled in Lightness Skill. I truly don't know how you managed it, kid. Never mind, I won't ask. You must be a martial arts prodigy."

"You apprehended the criminal in just three days, from taking on the case to capturing him."

"Tell me what you did during those three days and how you caught him."

Su Fei briefly explained how he reviewed all of Plum Blossom's case files, discovered the age range of the female victims, identified the inconsistencies, and investigated the clues. He then began actively staking out the area until he finally caught Plum Blossom.

Commander Feng listened, growing more impressed with each word.

"Su Fei, your case-solving ability is truly divine. But you must have worked hard this time, staking out the area for three days."

Su Fei looked at the undisguised shock and admiration in Commander Feng's eyes.

This was the respect that came with strength.

"Your subordinate merely did his duty."

Commander Feng waved his hand, unable to hide the smile on his face.

"Your duty? If everyone could perform their duty like this, Plum Blossom wouldn't have been at large for so many years."

"So many people have tried to capture Plum Blossom and make a name for themselves, but none have succeeded."
