The Spirit Snake Body Method (Beginner) is combined with the Breaking Limit Skill: Shrinking Step Heavy Mountain.
Available Attributes: 4.
"Finally, I've mastered the basics of the Spirit Snake Body Method, and I have enough Attribute Points."
Looking at the increasingly long Attribute Panel, the entire attribute display almost took up his entire field of vision.
This is quite inconvenient.
Zhang Rongfang's heart stirred slightly.
'I might practice more low-level martial arts in the future as a supplement. If I keep listing them like this, the Attribute Panel will definitely become quite cluttered.'
If martial arts techniques from the same school could be combined.
The idea had just flashed through his mind.
The Attribute Panel changed immediately.
Zhang Rongfang – Life 24-25.
Skill: Returning Spring Purifying Time Talisman Classic - Third Grade.
Leg technique - Second Grade.
Fist Palm Claw: First Grade.
Breaking Limits: Spirit Snake Body Method (Beginner) Breaking Limit Skill: Shrinking Step Heavy Mountain.
Available Attributes: 4.
All skills were immediately reduced by more than half.
Low-level martial arts techniques were all grouped together and categorized into leg techniques, fist techniques, Fist Palm Claw, and claw techniques.
The Returning Spring Purifying Time Talisman Classic has also been merged, directly displaying only the Third Grade, which is the Three Gates Breaking Limits Talisman Art.
Zhang Rongfang noticed that there were still ellipses after these summarized skills that could be clicked.
Once you open it, you'll find a detailed introduction to the martial arts techniques.
And as long as you don't open it, the entire Attribute Panel is undoubtedly much cleaner.
"That's right!" He now roughly understood that this Attribute Panel was probably completely controlled and influenced by his own consciousness.
"Then, next up is the Spirit Snake Body Method."
He had sensed in actual combat that the fusion of this low-grade movement technique would have a certain impact on his original movement technique.
So at this moment, he also felt a certain amount of anticipation.
After calming down, Zhang Rongfang imagined adding a plus sign after the Spirit Snake Body Method.
Hiss.
Four points in a row, pile them all up.
The brackets following the movement technique blurred for a moment, but became clear again after a few seconds.
'Spirit Snake Body Method (Breaking Limits)'.
With a loud bang.
Countless pieces of information, insights, and memories flooded into Zhang Rongfang's mind.
In that instant, it was as if he had been practicing the Spirit Snake Body Method for over ten years, from the very beginning to Breaking Limits.
Without missing a single detail, day and night.
Inside the room.
His entire body was trembling and writhing violently.
Even the specially changed, oversized robes couldn't conceal the intense muscle contortions.
Soon, Zhang Rongfang's legs visibly swelled up.
The muscle fibers rapidly expanded and became stronger.
The muscle groups that were not previously trained by other movement techniques are now rapidly healing from their tears, becoming thicker and stronger.
Zhang Rongfang clearly felt that the Spirit Snake Body Method was like a flexible rope thread, connecting the previous Eight Steps Catching Cicadas, the Dragon Snake Movement Technique, and the Bewildering Smoke Step.
At this moment, all the footwork techniques were eliminated from his mind, leaving only the most suitable legwork and light-body skills for him.
This change lasted for a full half hour.
Only after his body had completely calmed down Zhang Rongfang slowly open his eyes and exhale a long breath.
He looked down at his legs.
Her originally long and strong legs had become even larger, with her thighs almost as thick as a small bucket.
"It's too conspicuous."
He frowned, took off a long robe, and completely covered his legs.
"It seems I'll be wearing robes for a long time to come."
The changes in the legs result in a clear increase in explosive power.
Increased explosive power means increased burst speed over short distances.
Zhang Rongfang took a deep breath and suddenly pushed off with his foot.
Whoosh! His figure rushed forward rapidly, touched the wall next to the bed, flipped in mid-air, and returned to the original position.
The entire process was completely silent, and the speed was about 30% faster than before.
When he reached this level, his speed suddenly increased by 30%, a boost so great it was practically like having a cheat code.
'Isn't this just cheating?' Zhang Rongfang suddenly chuckled.
'My speed was already comparable to that of Fifth Grade master of lightness skill before. Now, it's probably even more exaggerated.'
Immediately, he began to integrate and adapt his greatly enhanced movement technique with the rest of his martial arts skills in the room.
If martial arts techniques are not coordinated properly or the rhythm is off, the result may be a decline in strength rather than an increase.
Therefore, how to coordinate is also a problem.
The faster the speed and agility, the more simplified the offensive and defensive moves must be.
Because of the excessive speed, there is simply no time to perform complex moves.
When there is a large speed difference, many deceptive tricks can be completely eliminated and replaced with fast-paced, charged-up moves.
He didn't come out of his room until late afternoon.
None of the members of Ninth Squad were there.
Having just received a windfall, a group of people are probably celebrating.
Zhang Rongfang strolled out of the small building, greeted the other team Captain, and then headed towards the main gate of the Ministry of Justice.
"Captain Zhang Ying, please wait."
Suddenly a voice drifted over.
Zhang Rongfang glanced over and saw Zhang Xiangyang from the brigade and a middle-aged scholar with a three-inch-long beard walking towards him.
"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief." Zhang Rongfang quickly bowed.
"Team Zhang is over twenty years old now, and has no relatives. He must live alone, right?" Zhang Xiangyang asked with a smile.
"No, I am currently residing in the Ninth Squad's quarters."
The team residence is the small building belonging to the Ninth Squad.
"That won't do. Why not stay outside? The team accommodations are only used during temporary closed missions. They don't feel like home here," Zhang Xiangyang said with a smile.
The middle-aged scholar beside him smiled and sized up Zhang Rongfang without saying a word.
Zhang Rongfang felt uneasy under his gaze.
"What you say is absolutely right, sir. I was also thinking about whether we should move out on our own, but it's still quite expensive to buy a place outside."
"With your current salary, it shouldn't be a problem. Besides, now that you've been officially hired, someone should be coming to you soon," Zhang Xiangyang said with a smile.
Zhang Rongfang was somewhat puzzled by what he heard.
But we chatted casually for a few minutes with the team leader before leaving together.
Following the old custom, he went to Wang Bude to learn Talisman Art.
However, Talisman Art has now basically mastered the details, and the deal between the two is about to be completed.
This Superior Martial Arts must be taught step by step, but once you master the details and start practicing, you can eventually learn it on your own.
It was evening.
Just as they were about to assemble for patrol duty, Zhang Rongfang suddenly remembered the suggestion that Zhang Xiangyang from the brigade had made earlier, about him moving out to live elsewhere.
Moving out is definitely much more convenient.
Many times, he was even worried that others would discover him if he made a little too loud noise while practicing martial arts.
It's quite inconvenient to get in and out at night, and you have to build a good relationship with the guard First Squad in advance.
Now that he's the team Captain, he can arrange his own morning training session. He can even cancel it.
Anyway, all we need to do is gather for one patrol in the afternoon.
He immediately went to the real estate agency to inquire about the market rates.
The cheapest house near the Ministry of Justice costs several hundred taels of silver, and the location is also very bad.
But renting is much cheaper.
It only amounts to less than ten taels a year.
He quickly found a detached house with a small yard, totaling about 200 square meters, with an annual rent of eight taels.
The building is located at the rear of the Ministry of Justice, less than 100 meters from the side gate.
After settling on accommodations, Zhang Rongfang quickly moved his luggage over.
As the team Captain, he simply gave the order, and more than ten team members immediately offered their 'generous' assistance.
It was all moved in less than fifteen minutes.
In the following days, the Ministry of Justice launched a series of operations to apprehend the so-called "Sea Dragon" organization's strongholds.
Zhang Rongfang led his team on two separate missions, arresting and eliminating small-time Entering the Ranks and low-level gang members who weren't even considered high-ranking members.
Despite the large number of people working in Government Office offices and from both Daoist and Buddhist circles, Entering the Ranks is actually not an easy task.
Unless a person has exceptional talent, it generally requires at least ten years of full-time training. That is, a training model that completely removes them from production and focuses solely on consumption.
They also need teachers to instruct them, and a constant supply of various nourishing and blood-tonifying substances.
Martial arts practitioners also need to maintain perseverance and determination.
Therefore, most true martial arts practitioners come from well-off families.
The lower-level labor gang members are mostly older and able to earn money before they have the opportunity and time to practice.
These types of people miss the best time to learn martial arts, and the vast majority of them will not be able to Entering the Ranks; at most, they can only reach the level of Tendon Forging.
Zhang Rongfang arrested mostly people like this.
And in the entire Tanyang, such people make up the vast majority.
And just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye.
***Squeak.
The courtyard gate was gently pushed open.
Zhang Rongfang moved his hands, wearing a black robe with red trim that covered his overly strong legs.
The morning air was a little chilly and damp.
Outside the door is a clean night market street.
The neighborhoods adjacent to the Ministry of Justice are mostly bustling with vibrant nightlife.
The only quiet time is now in the morning.
The garbage trucks used for cleaning were dragged along by the slaves, stopping and starting frequently.
In front of several courtyards, servants were sprinkling water from willow branches, seemingly to ward off bad luck.
On the right-hand sidewalk, in front of a public bathhouse, two children were already helping to wash the bath tubs.
The two children were dressed in tattered clothes, and their trouser legs were quite wet. They looked somewhat alike, so they were probably relatives.
On the other side, a young woman with a child in ponytails, her pregnant belly protruding, slowly walked by.
The child held a rattle drum in his hand, shaking it back and forth, making a sound.
Turning his gaze away, Zhang Rongfang's nerves, which had been tense for some time, relaxed slightly.
Isn't this the peaceful life he's always been pursuing? Unfortunately, such peace is just an illusion, a bubble that bursts at the slightest touch.
He walked a short distance down the street and bought three pancakes from a pancake stall for breakfast.
He was eating as he walked, but when he returned to his own courtyard gate, he stopped in his tracks.
In front of the courtyard gate stood a gaunt old man wearing a black robe.
The old man turned around, facing Zhang Rongfang, and gently removed the black hood from his head.
"Team Zhang, it's been a few days. You seem to be doing quite well."
Zhang Rongfang paused, and the gentleness on his face slowly faded.
The newcomer was none other than Basali, the Black Ten Sect's Grand Elder whom he had almost killed just a few days ago.
The other person's neck was still bandaged from the previous wound.
"I didn't expect the Grand Elder to come in person. What? You want revenge?"
Zhang Rongfang's residence was only a hundred meters away from the Ministry of Justice. Once he made his move, none of Basali and the men behind him present would be able to escape.
"How could that be? I came here just to give Team Zhang a heads-up." Basali's expression remained unchanged.
He moved forward step by step, getting closer.
They stopped when they were less than half a meter away from Zhang Rongfang.
"Recently, Sea Dragon seems to be looking for the murderer who framed them before. Hehe, who could it be?"
Who framed Sea Dragon and ruined the Lin Family's daughter? That's quite a tactic!
Basali's eyes darted around, staring at Zhang Rongfang with a cold smile.
"You agree, right? Team Zhang Ying, who pretended to go to a brothel at night but never made a move."
