Ten Realms of Martial Dao, Innate Body!

Jinyiwei Baihu Office.

Chen Fan's residence.

By the time Chen Fan returned to the Baihu Office, the eastern sky was already showing the color of fish belly. With his improved strength, staying up all night was no trouble at all.

With his sleepiness gone, he activated his status panel with a thought, deciding to enhance his strength.

He hadn't practiced the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist since he deduced it last time!

Yesterday afternoon, killing seven Wolf Demons in Black Bear Gully Village had earned him over seven hundred years of Demon and Devil lifespan.

Combined with the one hundred and seventy-seven years of Demon and Devil lifespan gained from killing the White Ape and his two subordinates in Wangchun Tower, he now had a total of nine hundred and fifty-seven years of Demon and Devil lifespan!

[Name: Chen Fan]
[Realm: Spirit Concealment Realm (Fifth Level: Marrow Asura)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Body Tempering Fist (Mastered), Draw Sword Slash (Mastered), Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist (Uninitiated)]
[Current Remaining Lifespan: 58 years]
[Current Demon and Devil Lifespan: 957 years]

"Both are Spirit Concealment Realm techniques, but the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist's grade is significantly higher than the Body Tempering Fist. If I replace the Body Tempering Fist with the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist to re-cultivate the Spirit Concealment Realm, my own strength might even increase."

"Ping'an County is fraught with danger now, with demons and devils rampant. Cao De also sees me as a thorn in his side. Today, he'll likely announce my appointment as a Jinyiwei Zongqi Officer, and it's hard to say he won't make a move against me like Sun Jian did."

"Although it's rumored he's at the fifth level of the Spirit Concealment Realm, who doesn't hide some of their strength? He might have already become a Spirit Aperture Realm martial artist."

"Therefore, I must become even stronger!"

"If that's the case, then let's deduce!"

With a thought, Chen Fan began to infuse his Demon and Devil lifespan into the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist, initiating the martial art deduction.

[First year, you begin learning the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist. Because the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist was deduced from the Body Tempering Fist based on your own conditions, and you already possess considerable martial arts attainments, you quickly achieve initial mastery!]

[Third year, through diligent practice, you finally cultivate the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist to the Minor Accomplishment stage. You feel your strength and physical body strength improve.]

[Tenth year, you continue to relentlessly practice the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist. One day, on a whim, you suddenly have an epiphany and break through to the Major Accomplishment stage. Your physical body undergoes significant improvement, and you are now as robust as a young ferocious beast!]

[Twentieth year, you continue practicing the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist, but due to limitations in your aptitude, you are slow to cultivate it to the Perfected stage.]

[Thirtieth year, you remain stagnant, feeling like a blubbering fool. Whenever you practice the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist, your head buzzes.]

[Fiftieth year, you've become somewhat disheartened, thinking of giving up. The Major Accomplishment stage of the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist has already placed you in an invincible position within the Spirit Concealment Realm. You can easily slay even demons and devils of the same realm, yet your heart remains unwilling.]

[One hundredth year, you grit your teeth and persevere. You still remember that if the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist can be cultivated to perfection, it can communicate with the world's vital energy, using it as a grinding disc to temper and strengthen oneself, ultimately condensing the Innate Body!]

[Two hundredth year, while persistently practicing the Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist, you suddenly feel a wisp of mysterious energy enter your body. Subsequently, more and more mysterious energy enters your body, and you realize this is the world's vital energy.]

[This vital energy continuously tempers your physical body, and you ultimately reach the realm of refining strength like silk, skin like bronze, flesh like a bell, bones like iron, tendons like steel, blood like mercury, marrow like frost, organs like vessels, viscera like jade, and meridians like membranes. You name this the Ten Realms of Martial Dao, surpassing the traditional Five Divine Treasure Gates!]

[Finally, your physical body undergoes a transformation, condensing the Innate Body, and your own aptitude improves. Heaven and Earth Grinding Disc Fist perfected!]

[Remaining Demon and Devil Lifespan: 757 years!]

Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes, countless insights from practicing the fist surging into his mind. With every breath, he could draw upon the world's vital energy, and his physical body felt like it had reached its absolute limit.

He now felt capable of killing martial artists of the same realm with a single punch, and even demons and devils of the same realm!

"I'm terrifyingly strong now!"

Chen Fan stood up, like a ferocious beast awakening, his entire being exuding a terrifying oppressive aura!

With his current strength, even if Cao De was a Spirit Aperture Realm martial artist, and even if Cao De truly intended to make a move against him, he would be completely fearless!

"Time to report for duty!"

Chen Fan rose, donned his Flying Fish Robe, sheathed his Embroidered Spring Blade, pushed open the door, and headed straight for the front courtyard of the Baihu Office.

The Jinyiwei of the Baihu Office nodded politely when they saw him, but there was a hint of distance in their politeness.

Yesterday, he had suppressed the Xiaoqi Officer Sun Jian, publicly embarrassed the Zongqi Officer Li Mo, and was now set to take the position of Zongqi Officer Huang Chengyue.

This position was highly sensitive. It was originally intended for Sun Jian, as Sun Jian was Li Mo's capable subordinate, and Li Mo was Cao De's right-hand man.

However, Chen Fan was clearly not aligned with Cao De, the Centurion. But his qualifications were undeniable, and with the recommendation of Zongqi Officer Huang Chengyue, he was more qualified than Sun Jian to be the flag officer.

It could be said that he and Huang Chengyue had put on a play yesterday in front of all the Jinyiwei, cornering Cao De, who had yet to appear.

If Cao De agreed to let him be the flag officer, it would be like inviting trouble upon himself. If Cao De refused, it would be like trampling on the rules of the Jinyiwei.

It would indirectly prove that the entire Jinyiwei Baihu Office was his domain, and whoever he wanted to promote, could be promoted.

In that case, it would completely chill the hearts of all the Jinyiwei.

"The Baihu Master has ordered an emergency assembly at the Training Ground!"

After the reporting time had passed, none of the Jinyiwei were dispatched on missions. Instead, they gathered at the Training Ground.

Cao De sat in the stands of the Training Ground, while Zongqi Officer Li Mo stood beside him, serving him tea.

As the direct superior of the Ping'an County Jinyiwei Baihu Office, the original body had seen this Centurion Cao on some occasions.

However, since Chen Fan's transmigration, this was the first time he was seeing Cao De in person.

Cao De had a full chin, a scar, a high forehead, but a low nose bridge, and an aquiline nose. His face was wide, plump, and he was not tall. He looked at everyone with a smile, but this smile was not warm, but rather somewhat sinister.

Those familiar with him behind his back called him a smiling tiger!

The sweeter the smile, the heavier the scheming, the deeper the hidden agenda, the more ruthless the methods, the more vacant the eyes, the harder the heart!

This was Cao De!

"Who is Chen Fan?"

"Step forward and let me see!"

Cao De held his tea, took a gentle sip, set down the cup, and looked at the assembled Jinyiwei below the stands with a kind smile, saying.

"Your subordinate Chen Fan, greets the Baihu Master!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan strode forward like a tiger, cupped his fists in greeting, and said loudly.

"Riding fine horses, a young talent, neither servile nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impatient."

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"My Jinyiwei needs talented people like you!"

"I heard that yesterday you killed seven Wolf Demons in Black Bear Gully Village, accumulated ten thousand great merits, and also broke through to the fifth stage of the Spirit Concealment Realm. Today, Old Huang also found me early, wanting to resign and have you take over his position as Zongqi Officer. What are your thoughts?"

Cao De narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Chen Fan, and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
