Reviewing the Accounts

"Driven by electric current".

Gu Jinlai, people have bowed their heads, looking at their outstretched arms.

He could clearly feel the electric current surging within his body.

When his Chaotic Thunder Body is in full operation, the electric current generated by the friction of all cells, driven by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of volts, can release a power no less than that of a thunderstorm.

However, this kind of energy release is the crudest form of application.

The power of electricity can strengthen oneself, giving one a more powerful physique.

Then, by stimulating himself with electric current, he activates his bio-electromagnetic field, enabling him to charge at extreme speeds, like a projectile fired from an electromagnetic cannon.

Furthermore, through the resonance between their own magnetic field and the magnetic fields of stars, they can soar through the void, achieving a True Lord akin to Primordial Spirit...

No, it's like Celestial Person, flying through the air.

The greatest obstacle that King Wu faced in his battle against Celestial Person and even the True Lords of the Primordial Spirit was thus crushed by him!

"Bioelectromagnetic fields... have far more functions than just this."

Gu Jinlai took a deep breath.

Driven by electric current.

In an instant, every cell and nerve in his body seemed to be electrocuted and completely activated.

Electromagnetic force flows throughout the body.

He stayed in the training room and threw punches with all his might...

At this moment, he himself was equivalent to a bio-electromagnetic force field, and when he threw a punch, the speed was extremely fast!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Faster than ever before!

In addition to pure power, the bio-electromagnetic field within his body amplifies the speed of his punches, making them faster than ever before.

"Whoosh!"

In the void, lightning flashed.

The frenzied bombardment and superposition of the fist force instantly tore apart and shattered the airflow in the training room. A visible hurricane compressed the air, forming a fist aura that reverberated in all directions.

Even though each training room in the Martial Saint Academy was built with tremendous effort and was extremely sturdy, the constantly exploding and booming fist energy and fist aura still caused the entire training room to tremble continuously. Centered on it, it was like an earthquake, with numerous cracks filling every corner of the training room.

Three seconds later!

The power of the punches, Gu Jinlai, came to an abrupt halt.

The hurricane raged, constantly swirling through the training room, its power enduring.

"Three hundred and thirty-three punches!"

Gu Jinlai, people have exhaled a long breath.

The powerful energy surged and swirled throughout the training room, stirring up large amounts of dust.

Powered by the electric current, he threw 333 punches in three seconds.

This speed is nearly double what it was before.

Double!

It may not sound like much, but it's like an average person going from a 10-second sprinter to a 5-second sprinter. The difference is more than double!

It's an evolution unlike anything we've ever seen before.

"The evolutionary direction of the Chaotic Thunder Body... is even better than I expected. Right now, without relying on the power of the Eternal Furnace, my combat strength has at least reached the level of a top-tier Martial King."

This Gu Jinlai.

Although there seems to be some difference between electric current driving and strong electromagnetic fields, in reality, the difference is not that significant.

He had a premonition that once he had truly perfected the cultivation of the Chaotic Thunder Body and developed even more powerful characteristics, it would not only significantly amplify his own power, but also elevate his guidance of the Eternal Furnace's power to an unprecedented level.

It is entirely possible for it to be fully compressed, forming a magnetic confinement force with a strength of thousands of Tesla.

By then, the power to precisely control the eternal furnace will be no longer a pipe dream.

The Eternal Furnace at its perfect stage has an output power that surpasses that of ordinary terrestrial immortals.

Back then, relying on the Dao artifact Panwu Spear, he only needed to gather his strength in a single breath to unleash an energy that utterly crushed the three-headed Demonic Beasts king into dust.

In the terms of the Book of Changes, that is a power comparable to a great Divine Ability being.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about consuming a Dao artifact with each attack.

"Although the Chaotic Thunder Body is not yet perfect, my control over the Eternal Furnace has increased significantly. If before, when I released the energy of the Eternal Furnace, 65% was directed at the enemy and 35% was borne by myself, then now... the part directed at others has reached 75%, or even 80%."

Gu Jinlai have pondered this.

The Eternal Furnace's regular energy release exceeds that of peak Celestial Person.

80% energy...

It is no less destructive than that of a peak Celestial Person.

That is, the sixth stage of the Celestial Person.

Even a peak Martial King cannot stop him.

The only thing to be careful about is that once the energy of the Eternal Furnace is used to kill the enemy, the target must be silenced, otherwise the news will definitely attract the attention of the Jin family.

"We still need to gather those eight or nine hundred portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold as soon as possible. When the Chaos Thunder Essence Body is fully cultivated, even if Jin Fantian finds out that I killed Jin Yuhai, I will not be afraid in the slightest."

Gu Jinlai have pondered this.

However, even if we calculate based on 800 portions of Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold, at 6 million taels per portion, that's still 4.8 billion, equivalent to half a Dao artifact.

Outside the training room, Gu Jinlai found the person in charge and made compensation for the damage to the training room.

Then, he swaggered out of the Martial Saint Academy.

However, as he was leaving the Martial Saint Academy, a staff member called him to Yan Lie's room.

Upon seeing Gu Jinlai, Yan Lie first asked, "I've heard about the Zhang family's affairs. Zhang Chongshan is not easy to deal with."

"I know."

Gu Jinlai said, "However, the academy master should have heard that I recently bought some Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold. After refining this Thunder Magnetic Essence Gold, my cultivation will increase significantly."

Yan Lie listened and nodded.

Gu Jinlai, their combat strength should be at the level of a high-ranking Martial King, with hundreds of portions of Thunder Magnetic Essence...

This was enough to elevate his strength to a level close to that of a top-tier Martial King.

Although a top-tier Martial King is still a step below a peak Martial King, if he is determined to escape, Zhang Chongshan might not be able to kill him.

Moreover, those who have been purged Gu Jinlai are the ones who have done so.

Zhang Chongshan dared to openly confront a purger, but given that the Purge Department had just been established, he absolutely could not afford the consequences of doing so.

"You still need to be careful. Don't go to remote places. If there is any danger, go straight to crowded places. Under the watchful eyes of many people, Zhang Chongshan will never dare to harm you."

Yan Lie said.

"I see."

Gu Jinlai nodded.

Yan Lie immediately took out a document from the drawer. "This is your appointment letter, Deputy District Chief of the Southeast Region of the Outer District, concurrently Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau."

"It was processed so quickly?"

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

"Hehe, do we martial artists have to hold meetings and discuss things for months like those people in the dynasties? You are a high-level martial king. If you were to take up a post in the outer city, you could not only be a deputy district head, but you could even compete for the position of district head."

Yan Lie said.

Gu Jinlai, it has been known that this was a polite remark made by the abbot of Yanlie Academy.

As the top official in charge of the district, he is still being watched by quite a few people.

Although the outer city is dangerous, having experience as the district lord of an outer city will give you an advantage over others when you are transferred to the Inner City as the deputy district lord in the future.

"The district lord of the southeast outer city is Fang Jianfei, a junior of Fang Yan, the Martial Saint. Due to the dangers of the outer city, he only holds the title and rarely goes to the district lord's mansion once a month. He is either in meetings in the Inner City or in seclusion somewhere cultivating. You don't need to report to him. Just find another deputy district lord, Zhen Chuanzong. He is also a Martial King like you and will definitely welcome your arrival."

Yan Lie said with a smile.

Gu Jinlai nodded. "Thank you, Dean Yan."

"Don't."

Yan Lie waved his hand. "Go take up your post. As a Martial King, you don't need anyone to send you off to show off your background. And a Martial King going to the outer city as the deputy district head doesn't have any background to show off. I just hope you won't blame me later."

"Definitely not."

He remembered this kindness from Gu Jinlai present, and then bid farewell to Yanlie's courtyard.

Every person in charge should, in principle, bring some trusted confidants with them when they take office.

Gu Jinlai, considering what they need to do next...

They decided against bringing Zhao Yang, Zhao Qiao, and the Feng family along.

He left the Inner City and headed straight for the lord's mansion in the southeast outer city.

However, not long after leaving the city, he sensed something.

Someone is watching us!

Gu Jinlai smiled.

It's obvious which faction is watching him.

He ignored them and, after arriving at the district lord's mansion, introduced himself and was quickly led to Zhen Chuanzong's house.

Fang Jianfei, the district head, was clearly just there to gain experience; Zhen Chuanzong was in charge of all the big and small matters in the southeast outer district.

He didn't show much enthusiasm when facing the Gu Jinlai King Wu, but simply said politely, "King Wu has arrived. Perfect timing. There's a meeting tomorrow, so I'll let King Wu introduce himself to everyone."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and paused, "However, given what the Ancient Martial King did in front of the Heavenly Silver Pavilion, I estimate that there aren't many people in our District Lord's Mansion who don't know the Ancient Martial King."

From this perspective, he seems quite dissatisfied with the practices of Gu Jinlai times.

After all...

He is in charge of matters in the southeastern outer city area.

Even if someone were to embezzle and break the law in the southeast outer city, whether or not to deal with them is their business. In the Gu Jinlai, it was clearly overstepping their bounds for someone who was just a city guard advisor to rashly interfere.

Gu Jinlai understood this point, but he never revealed it. "I hope to join forces with District Chief Zhen to make the Southeast Outer District the most orderly of the eight outer districts."

The following day, at a meeting of the district government, Gu Jinlai officially took office.

Besides the two of them, the deputy district chiefs of the southeast outer city also include Primordial Spirit True Lord Qiu Mengsheng and peak Martial Grandmaster Qu Yuan.

However, it is said that Qu Yuan, the peak Martial Grandmaster, encountered the opportunity of becoming a Martial King and went into seclusion to cultivate.

Primordial Spirit True Lord Qiu Mengsheng stayed at the district lord's mansion every day, but since he didn't have much to manage, he was very free every day and was completely in a state of just passing the time.

Gu Jinlai made a brief appearance at the meeting and then went directly to the Enforcement Court.

Upon arriving at the Enforcement Court, he summoned Vice Chiefs Tang Zhengxiao, Fu Youguang, and An Yu, saying, "Bring me all the major and important case files that have been piling up in the Enforcement Court."

After saying that, he took out several documents. "Here are three reports. I need you to send someone to verify them. I want to see a detailed report by this time tomorrow."

Tang Zhengxiao, An Yu, and Fu Youguang exchanged glances, somewhat unsure of Gu Jinlai's true intentions.

But they obeyed their superior's orders, submitting case files of major and important cases and investigating the three whistleblower reports he had produced.

These three reports were naturally materials secretly delivered to him by the victims after the battle at Tianyinlou.

Although he believed the information to be authentic, he believed that listening to both sides would lead to a clearer understanding.

Necessary investigations are essential.

The next day.

After reviewing case files from Gu Jinlai for a day and a night, three were selected.

"This is what we will do next."

Gu Jinlai handed the case files to the three vice presidents.

The three of them changed color after just one glance.

"The Liu family relocation case?"

"The Bai family harboring out-of-control individuals?"

"This is... a case suing the Fang Family!?"

As veterans who have spent at least three years in the law enforcement agency, they are very familiar with these three cases.

Behind each of the three cases lies the shadow of a powerful Lineage or force.

The Bai family, which is involved in the out-of-control individuals, has Celestial Person serving in the Inner City, and their influence is even greater than that of the Zhang family.

Is the newly appointed head of the academy stirring up a hornet's nest?!
