Transformation

Martial Arts Academy.

Gu Jinlai, people have opened their eyes.

His injuries were severe, but...

The new version of the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Technique has an extraordinary self-healing effect. As long as the injury is not so severe as to be torn to pieces, even the most serious injury can be healed.

This is still his own self-healing power. The most important stage from Martial King to Martial Saint is the transformation of the physical body, reshaping and rebirth.

Once this process is completed, limb reconstruction is not difficult.

Some individuals, with their natural ability to regenerate, can even achieve rebirth from a drop of blood if they are well-prepared.

He estimated that his current injuries would recover in about three to five days.

"Recovering in three to five days isn't the main point. The main point is that, under the power of the Eternal Furnace, I myself was severely injured and fell into a coma. At that time, my life and death were completely out of my control. In a sense, I had already died once, but I was lucky enough to come back to life..."

The Way of the Heart, from Gu Jinlai.

This is also why he has never dared to easily use the power of the Eternal Furnace.

It's too difficult to control.

Without the Cheng Ying mech, even the slightest fluctuation would cause the burst of energy to obliterate him as well.

"The power that the Eternal Furnace at full power can unleash is comparable to a great Divine Ability, that is... the power of a great Divine Ability power master. I am at most a high-level Martial King at the moment. Such power is really too early for me."

Gu Jinlai, let us feel the two new beams of clear light that have been added to our spiritual world.

Then...

Without hesitation, he plunged into the Chaotic Thunder Essence Body.

Suddenly, he gained a new understanding of the Chaotic Thunder Essence Body.

If we were to describe the stages of the Chaotic Thunder Body from Lesser Completion to Greater Completion using percentages, it would be approximately...

Small success rate 39% → Small success rate 42%.

"We still need thirty-eight to thirty-nine more beams of light."

This data has been derived from Gu Jinlai.

"My previous hunting of out-of-control individuals and cultists was mainly to quickly obtain enough contribution points. Contribution points are equivalent to the currency issued by the Holy Dynasty. Currency is quite useful in a stable world, but in a society where the upper class does not abide by order and rules and is full of power classes, currency is completely meaningless."

Wind and Rain City is clearly such a world.

Therefore, instead of hunting down the cultists and out-of-control individuals on the dangerous lists, his real target should be the ordinary lists, hunting down generals, martial masters, and Primordial Spirit True Lord in order to obtain more Qingguang.

At that moment, he heard some noise.

A short while later, the door was pushed open, and a faint, sweet fragrance of a young girl wafted out.

It was Zhao Yushu.

Seeing that Gu Jinlai had opened his eyes, Zhao Yushu was both surprised and delighted. "Senior Gu, you're awake, that's great!"

Then, as if remembering something, she quickly said, "I'll ask a doctor to come and examine you right away."

Gu Jinlai at her and quickly realized what was going on.

He was unconscious for a whole day, and she was the one who took care of him.

That makes sense, though, since he doesn't have any relatives in Wind and Rain City.

Yan Lie, who brought him back, might arrange for someone to treat him, but he couldn't possibly stay by his side every step of the way.

After all, he also has his own things to do.

Soon, Zhao Yushu invited a doctor to conduct another round of examinations on Gu Jinlai.

After preparing some medicine to speed up his recovery, Yan Lie and Hei Jian also rushed over.

Seeing that Gu Jinlai was unharmed, Yan Lie breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright."

Do you remember exactly what happened?

Black Sword then directly asked a question.

"I had to discuss some things with Jin Yuhai, but after meeting him, I was suddenly attacked. Jin Yuhai reacted and ran away immediately, while I didn't even have time to see who the attacker was before I felt a burst of intense and destructive energy erupt, and then I was thrown away and lost consciousness."

They used pre-prepared excuses Gu Jinlai.

The reason he dared to directly kill Jin Yuhai was partly because he had learned from Zhuang Ying's example and had the best scapegoat.

On the other hand, he saw through the indifferent attitude of the upper echelons of Fengyu City.

There is almost no sense of unity or overall perspective among the upper echelons of Fengyu City.

They seem to care only about their own present and future, completely unconcerned about what the future holds.

The same applies to middle and senior management.

For them, the titles of city lord, demon-slaying hall master, or even martial arts academy master are merely means to grant them greater power and greater benefits.

With great power comes great responsibility?

These people only think about power.

Responsibility?

Let those who are capable bear the burden.

Looking back through the Gu Jinlai, I'm reminded of the hopeful light in the eyes of those people...

They formed an extreme contrast with the upper echelons of Fengyu City.

"Is that so?"

Black Sword nodded.

What has been said Gu Jinlai is roughly the same as what they have investigated.

After a moment, he said, "The person who attacked Jin Yuhai should be Ji Lie. He is an extremely dangerous member of the Demonic Cult. Fortunately, his main target was Jin Yuhai, and he fled before he could check on you after your aura weakened to the extreme. As a result, he did not notice that your evolutionary direction is actually self-healing."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

The thought of the danger of unleashing the power of the Eternal Furnace without the Shadow Mech and Eternal Properties fills me with lingering fear.

"Ancient Martial King, this injury is considered a work-related injury. I have applied to the captain for a month's leave for you. Take good care of yourself."

Black Sword also said something.

"A month?"

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

"It's mainly for your safety."

Yan Lie said, "Your identity has probably already been exposed. To avoid being attacked by out-of-control individuals and demonic cultists when you're alone, like Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Wu Wang, you'd better stay home for the next month..."

After a moment's thought, he said, "Or you could simply stay in the Martial Saint Academy. In the next month, our Wind and Rain City will launch a massive Thunder Operation against the out-of-control individuals and demonic cultists. After the Thunder Operation ends, the number of out-of-control individuals and demonic cultists will inevitably decrease sharply. In addition, after the operation, the identities of all the purgers will be known to the world. I believe that if the demonic cultists and out-of-control individuals really want to do something again, they won't just target you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Headmaster."

Gu Jinlai said in a deep voice, "However, these out-of-control individuals and demonic cultists are so rampant, launching attacks against me in broad daylight. If I were to hide for a month and do nothing, I would be truly unwilling. Therefore, once I recover, I will use the Thousand Faces magical Spirit Artifact to hunt down those out-of-control individuals and demonic cultists that I am capable of hunting, and make them pay the price for their attacks."

"Are you going to operate covertly as before?"

Black Sword nodded in agreement. "Alright, actually I don't really agree with the idea of the Purifiers stepping into the limelight. It puts us in a passive position where the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light... However, it seems that the out-of-control people and cultists in several cities have caused too much trouble, so the higher-ups issued this order to bring the Purifiers into the open, to deter the out-of-control people and cultists, and to invite more powerful people to join the Purifiers with great rewards."

"I still have some contribution points, and I want to use them to exchange for a technique of concealment."

This Gu Jinlai.

"The technique of concealing one's aura..."

Black Sword pondered for a moment, "You only have 13 million contribution points, so the level of the concealment techniques you can exchange for are all very average. How about this, I'll exchange a Hidden Dragon Technique for you first, you can use it for now, and I'll give you the rest when you have enough contribution points. What do you think?"

Hidden Dragon Technique?

Gu Jinlai.

This method is worth 80 million contribution points.

It is not much inferior to the Thunder Primordial Spirit Body and the Great Thunder Sword Technique.

The black sword actually...

"Thank you, Captain."

Gu Jinlai.

"No need to thank me. Just hunt down more out-of-control individuals and cultists, and do your best to maintain the stability of Wind and Rain City."

Black Sword said, "I will bring you the Hidden Dragon Technique in a moment."

Gu Jinlai nodded and glanced at Yan Lie: "The Purifiers have now stepped into the limelight, but I am not acting with the Purifiers team. To make things easier, please arrange a public identity for me, Dean."

"Okay, I'll get you an advisor title from the city guard."

Yan Lie readily agreed.

For a King Wu, getting a regular advisor title from the city guards was simply a matter of a word.

"Thank you for your trouble, Headmaster."

"You're too kind. You should get some rest."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yan Lie bid farewell to Hei Jian and left.

Watching the black sword disappear, Gu Jinlai remained silent.

The Karma on the black sword...

Although it didn't reach the level of being pitch black, it was still at the level of being Bright Red like blood.

For more than a month, he had not had much contact with Black Sword, but judging from his way of doing things, he was not a bad person, but the Karma he carried was by no means small.

The main reason for this situation is...

His superior's orders forced him to do some shady things.

He couldn't help but think of some of the truly remarkable figures he had encountered in the Gu Jinlai month, figures who could be considered to stand at the pinnacle of Wind and Rain City.

Each one has already surpassed the level of Dark Red as ink.

Pitch black as flame.

The "evil" within them can be clearly seen through spiritual perception, even Gu Jinlai.

It was as if countless vengeful spirits were lurking around them, constantly wailing and screaming, wishing they could devour them whole.

Four days later, Gu Jinlai finished his recuperation.

During this time, someone asked him again about the specific reasons for Jin Yuhai's death.

This includes a peak Martial King from the Jin family.

As for the Lord of the Demon-Slaying Hall, Jin Fantian, a Saint at the peak, he never appeared before him.

Perhaps he inquired about Jin Yuhai's cause of death through other channels, but the Gu Jinlai he did not personally "interrogate" him shows that he did not value his son, who followed the path of martial arts.

They are not even as good as some younger, talented Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord.

Even so, Gu Jinlai, after recovering from his injuries, still dared not relax.

"Although Jin Fantian did not come forward to inquire about the cause of Jin Yuhai's death, it does not mean that I can completely relax. After all, he is the son of a Martial King..."

He didn't linger and began searching for potentially hidden out-of-control individuals and cultists, starting with "Karma."
