Hunting Tiger Gang

Half a year of grueling training had also earned him 3 Free Attribute Points.

But Xu Qing was in no hurry to spend them.

He planned to wait until he broke through in Ancient Martial Xing Yi through his own insights before adding points.

He would directly break through two levels at once!

By then, his understanding of Xing Yi Fist would reach a terrifying realm.

Even Liu Zhankun might not be able to surpass him in Fist Technique!

As for spear technique, there was no rush.

The further he progressed, the harder breakthroughs became.

Only then would points become more valuable!

And sure enough.

One morning after Xu Qing's birthday.

As a burst of crackling rang out from his bones and muscles.

Xu Qing's Xing Yi Fist broke through once more.

It reached the same realm Liu Zhankun had once attained!

Xu Qing excitedly opened his Attribute Panel.

He saw that the status of Ancient Martial Xing Yi had changed from "Peak Mastery" to the sixth realm—"Divine Skill."

"Hmm, I can feel that my Xing Yi Fist is only one step away from Perfection. I suppose I can be considered a Fist Technique master now?"

Xu Qing asked himself with a smile.

At this point, he believed that his Fist Technique realm was no longer beneath Liu Zhankun's.

Of course, in an actual fight to the death, Xu Qing knew he was probably no match for Liu Zhankun.

After all, the other man was in his prime and vastly experienced.

The number of life-and-death crises he had survived was beyond anything Xu Qing could compare to.

Besides, Xu Qing still did not know what realm of Martial Artist Liu Zhankun was.

His exposure to the martial world was simply too limited.

But it did not matter. He had the panel.

"Whew!"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Qing calmed himself.

For that final step his Xing Yi Fist lacked.

He intended to use points to break through!

With a thought, Xu Qing focused his mind on the "+" sign and lightly tapped it.

"Add points!"

Pop—

It was as though countless colors had blossomed before his eyes.

Xu Qing felt his entire body jolt.

The familiar sensation of dizziness swept over him again.

But this time, no chaotic flood of information appeared.

It took only an instant.

For an insight to arise within his heart.

Every process, experience, and memory he had accumulated while training Xing Yi Fist merged into that single insight.

And on the panel.

"Divine Skill" after Ancient Martial Xing Yi changed to the seventh realm—"Perfection"!

"So that's how it is!"

Xu Qing abruptly opened his eyes, as though he had truly comprehended the true essence of Xing Yi Fist!

The way of the six harmonies.

Integrating the strength of the entire body and unleashing it in an instant.

Using one hundred percent of the body's power.

Liu Zhankun's words surfaced in Xu Qing's mind once more.

"This fist technique was also called the Heart and Mind Six Harmonies Fist in ancient times: the heart harmonizes with intent, intent harmonizes with qi, qi harmonizes with force, the shoulders harmonize with the hips, the elbows harmonize with the knees, and the hands harmonize with the feet."

"When you truly achieve the six harmonies, you can unleash all the power of the human body wherever you wish to use it."

Xu Qing casually threw a punch.

The next moment.

A piercing shriek abruptly tore through the air.

It came from the wind of his fist.

It seemed to have punched straight through the air itself.

"This casual punch of mine carries as much force as the Crushing Fist I used with all my strength half a year ago."

Xu Qing felt his changes with utter shock.

As he performed stance after stance and punch after punch, the trees in the forest let out unbearable creaks.

Using only ten percent of his strength, he could match his former full power.

"What a pity I can't fully unleash it here. Otherwise, just imagining how terrifying my current strength would be at full force excites me!"

Xu Qing withdrew his fist and stood still, shaking his head as he muttered to himself.

"Panel."

With a thought from Xu Qing.

The Attribute Panel appeared before him.

Name: Xu Qing

Lifespan: 16/80

Fist Technique: Ancient Martial Xing Yi (Perfection)

Spear Technique: Xing Yi Five Elements Spear (Slight Achievement) (+)

Cultivation Method: Three Yuan Gene Method (Perfection)

Available Attribute Points: 2

"Oh? My lifespan limit has become 80? Good! That's probably equivalent to half an ordinary person's lifespan!"

Xu Qing nodded calmly and satisfactorily.

After a year of hard training.

His lifespan limit had increased by a full twenty years.

That was his greatest gain.

Besides that, whether in strength, speed, Fist Technique, or spear technique.

Xu Qing had made tremendous progress.

It filled him with anticipation and drive for the future.

Just as Xu Qing happily savored his progress and prepared to add points to his spear technique.

A long, piercing alarm suddenly rang out through the compound.

"Doo—"

"Doo—"

"Doo—"

"All employees, please enter the buildings immediately, close the anti-theft iron doors, and take measures to protect yourselves!"

"All employees, please immediately—"

"Please!"

As the three urgent announcements sounded.

Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately recalled what the veteran employees had said.

Whenever this kind of alarm sounded in the compound.

It meant the company had either been attacked by bandits or encountered a major crisis.

Of course, there was one other possibility.

A local gang had come to collect protection money.

Although he did not know which situation it was.

As a Martial Artist, Xu Qing naturally would not hide like everyone else.

He quickly returned to his dormitory and took a long, narrow black backpack from the wardrobe.

Slipping it onto his back, Xu Qing secretly ran against the panicked crowd toward the company walls.

Before long, he saw more than ten rugged Hummer jeeps parked on the street beyond the wall, each fitted with iron spikes.

There were also around thirty gang members in suits, carrying all kinds of weapons.

They looked extremely strange.

A glaring scarlet emblem of an arrow piercing a tiger was painted on the jeeps.

These people surrounded the entrance of Tianshen Company.

Every one of them looked vicious.

But what made Xu Qing narrow his eyes was the Steel Gate lying collapsed at the entrance.

He remembered the veteran employees boasting that even Gene Martial Artists could not open this specially made gate.

Only a full-force collision with a heavy vehicle might be able to break it open.

It had cost as much as one million Alliance Coins to build.

Yet he did not see any heavy vehicles at the scene.

So how had the gate collapsed?

Could it be...

Xu Qing carefully looked toward a young man standing at the front of the gang members, dressed in a black Combat Suit.

He held a jet-black metal rod as thick as an arm.

He merely stood there with a faint smile, yet no one around him dared approach casually.

Boss Zhou Yu and all the security personnel stood solemnly opposite this group.

The two sides faced each other across the collapsed iron gate.

But their expressions clearly revealed the situation.

As Xu Qing knew, the security team Zhou Yu had assembled contained real Gene Martial Artists, three of them.

Though they were not as strong as Liu Zhankun.

Two of them were retired soldiers who had returned from outside the Solar System.

And the other, the security captain, was said to possess the strength of a Second-Order Martial Artist.

Yet now, facing that young man with the rod, not one of them dared step forward.

That clearly meant.

They were inferior in skill.

And when he saw Zhou Yu take out a golden Dragon Scale Card with an ugly expression and hand it to the smiling young man with the rod.

Xu Qing knew the company had compromised.

He tightened the spear case on his back and gave up the thought of helping.

He did not know his exact strength.

But he was not confident that he could destroy a specially made gate worth hundreds of thousands with a single strike.

And even if he could defeat the young man with the rod.

What about the others behind him?

Were there other experts as strong as the young man with the rod?

He did not know.

Making a move like that would be meaningless.
