Warrant Issued!

In the following days, Chen Xia took one Third Grade Lingpo Pill daily.

The potent medicinal effects refined Chen Xia's physical body, meridians, blood, and the strength and quality of his Dantian.

After consuming multiple pills, Chen Xia's strength underwent further changes.

Half a month later, one morning.

He stood in his room, arms crossed, legs planted like pillars. This was a Zhanzhuang Method, the foundational exercise for the Seven Injuries Fist.

As Chen Xia opened his eyes, he threw a punch.

This time, a surge of energy in his Dantian, nearly doubled in size, rose abruptly, coursing through his meridians and infusing his shoulders, arms, and wrists, finally reaching his palms and extending to his fingers.

Externally, his right fist showed no difference, but with a special light-measuring instrument, one could scan Chen Xia's right fist emitting a faint halo. This was the Fist Force of the Seven Injuries Fist.

It was done!

With the medicinal power of Lingpo Pills worth millions and recent hard training, Chen Xia had finally cultivated the Fist Force.

He then tried his left fist, practicing repeatedly, all smoothly. The Primal Qi within him had reached this magnitude, enough to be channeled to his palm.

However, he couldn't maintain it; it required focused exertion. One exertion could produce one strike, but it was still incredibly powerful.

"With this, in future battles, I can use Fist Force to injure opponents. This is also the characteristic of the Seven Injuries Fist!"

Chen Xia was overjoyed. Cultivating Fist Force was a rare feat among Martial Warriors.

And the Fist Force of the Seven Injuries Fist, capable of harming both oneself and the enemy, was even rarer.

The reversed Seven Injuries Fist had no side effects and its lethality was comparable to high-level advanced techniques, perhaps even stronger.

This was Chen Xia's confidence.

Coupled with the medicinal effects absorbed by his body during this period, Chen Xia's physique and punching power had increased significantly.

Although his Panel hadn't shown an increase in the Seven Injuries Fist's level, Chen Xia could feel it.

That noon, Chen Xia took advantage of his lunch break to go to the Martial Arts Hall to test his stats.

Clang! Chen Xia landed three consecutive punches on the punching target, then checked the data.

"1443kg!" "1440kg!" "1444kg!"

Recently, by taking pills and practicing the Seven Injuries Fist, Chen Xia's strength had surged by nearly half. Although he had anticipated it, his pupils still contracted deeply, and he was extremely excited.

"For an ordinary person to reach Grade 1 Martial Warrior and achieve this punching power, it would take at least several years, or even longer."

"I achieved this in half a month by consuming millions worth of medicine and with the aid of the Seven Injuries Fist. Indeed, money is paramount; having money makes things much faster."

"However, besides money, the reversed Seven Injuries Fist is also key; otherwise, it wouldn't have been this fast!"

Chen Xia opened his Panel to check.

[Cultivation: Grade 1 Martial Warrior (4th Stage)]

Seeing his Martial Warrior stage, Chen Xia became even more confident. The medicinal effects of the Lingpo Pills had been fully absorbed by his body during this period.

He still had 92,800 yuan on hand, but Chen Xia didn't plan to use it for now. His body had been overused with medicine and needed a break.

Next, Chen Xia needed to consider the issue of his position.

He intended to report his status as a Martial Warrior.

Only by improving his status could his family's dire situation be alleviated. He also needed cultivation resources, and the higher his position, the wealthier he would surely be.

Although he had a Panel, he still needed resources to fuel it.

Of course, besides his position, now that he was a Martial Warrior, he could also take on some missions to earn money.

With that thought, Chen Xia opened his electronic watch and took a look.

After joining the Martial Warrior Alliance, he could use facial recognition with his ID card to access the Martial Warrior Alliance's official website.

This information was introduced on his electronic watch when he was promoted to Martial Warrior, but Chen Xia had been busy cultivating and hadn't paid much attention.

Now, he needed to understand it better.

Upon entering the Martial Warrior Alliance's official website, Chen Xia saw many bounty missions for Martial Warriors.

Usually, dangerous missions involved the official Patrol Inspection Office and City Guard Office. Some missions were released externally, such as by the Martial Warrior Alliance, allowing Martial Warriors from all over to complete them for higher efficiency.

Additionally, squad leaders in the Patrol Inspection Office had the authority to check minor cases on the Patrol Inspection Office's official website.

However, they generally wouldn't get involved. Most dangerous cases were handled by Martial Warrior squads established by the Patrol Inspection Office.

Most low-level teams were only responsible for cases that ordinary citizens could handle.

Chen Xia looked around. There were quite a few missions posted, such as the recent disappearance of a young woman in the southern district; someone walking at night never returned. There was also a reward of two thousand for finding a lost cat.

After looking through them, either the missions were too difficult, involving Grade 2 or higher Martial Warriors, or they were too simple.

There were also suitable cases, but most were not in the southern district but in other areas, which was too far and inconvenient for Chen Xia.

With this in mind, Chen Xia left the Martial Arts Hall and returned to work first.

On the way, he sent a message to his captain, reporting his breakthrough to Martial Warrior.

The captain might be busy. He finished breakfast at the Patrol Inspection Office, and hadn't received any messages back. He decided he should tell him in person.

This matter would have to be tested by someone anyway before it could be confirmed.

But as soon as he returned to the squad's barracks, he saw Captain Jiang Bing with a grave expression, holding a document and summoning everyone for a meeting.

"Everyone, this is a wanted notice from the General Office!"

The Eighth Squad gathered, and Captain Jiang Bing pointed to the image on the document.

"The murderer Hu Biao has been committing crimes in Yijiang City for the past three months. He came from the neighboring Changmen City."

"This person is extremely brutal and cunning. He is now wanted throughout Yijiang and Changmen Cities. The suspect is agile, skilled in disguise, impersonation, and hypnosis. He is very dangerous."

"Within three months, he has repeatedly killed civilians, assaulted women, and robbed them of their belongings. According to intelligence, the suspect might be trying to pass through Yijiang City towards the Dragon Mountain Forest Zone to the west to hide and evade capture. The General Office has now ordered the blockade of the Dragon Mountain Zone entrance, trapping him within the city. He is currently in the southern part of the city."

"Furthermore, the murderer Hu Biao has a prior record of robbery and has been to prison. It is said that after his release, he took a gene potion, which caused a drastic change in his temperament, turning him into a Devil."

"He is a Grade 1 Martial Warrior. The mission assigned is to discover his whereabouts, with a reward of ten thousand yuan. If you capture or kill him, the reward is sixty thousand yuan and 2 merit points."

"However, you are only responsible for investigating suspicious individuals. Do not confront him directly. That is a matter for Martial Warriors," Captain Jiang Bing repeatedly warned.
