Gift of the Vajra Bone Tempering Technique!

Chen Xia pushed the door open and entered.

He saw that the office was simply furnished, with a desk and a few brown wooden chairs on the side. The back wall, on the right, was entirely lined with bookshelves, holding various documents and books.

Several green plants sat on the windowsill facing the street. The room was very soundproof; the sound of cars outside was almost inaudible, making it very quiet.

A young woman in a dark blue uniform, with an olive branch and a four-pointed star insignia on her shoulder, was sitting in a brown chair, looking down at her work.

The woman wore a peaked cap, characteristic of the patrol inspectors, adorned with a silver-white badge. She didn't look up. Her slightly thin body and face conveyed an inviolable solemnity. Her slender, fair right hand was writing something on a document.

"Chief Director!"

Chen Xia, as a subordinate, gave a very standard military salute.

"Mm."

Jiang Xinglan finished writing, put down her pen, and looked up to examine Chen Xia. She then said, "I've reviewed your resume and video. You were at Ningyuan Fourth Stage after graduating from Yijiang University. A few months ago, you were still at Ningyuan Seventh Stage and couldn't advance. But recently, you've broken through two stages consecutively, becoming a Martial Warrior, and even killed Hu Biao, who had taken gene serum. It's a bit peculiar. What technique are you cultivating... to advance to Martial Warrior so quickly?"

Jiang Xinglan explained Chen Xia's life history. As Chief Director, investigating was a simple matter of a word.

It was impossible for Chen Xia to reveal the secrets he held.

However, the Seven Injuries Fist, due to its inherent flaws, was not a commonly circulated technique, so revealing it wouldn't be an issue.

But Jiang Xinglan didn't believe that cultivating the Seven Injuries Fist could make one so strong.

Jiang Xinglan stood up and walked towards Chen Xia. She extended her crystal-clear, jade-like hand and placed it on his pulse, then his chest and abdomen, tapping a few points between them.

Chen Xia instinctively wanted to resist, but the other party was too fast. He only felt a numbing sensation in several places on his body, causing him to shiver. He thought to himself, This woman is so powerful! He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Chen Xia felt a sense of awe. He had heard that Chief Director Jiang Xinglan was the daughter of a genius from a prestigious university. Upon graduating, she was already a Grade 3 Martial Master, from a wealthy conglomerate family with high status throughout the Federation.

She had been parachuted into the Patrol Inspection Office and was a key figure being groomed from above, destined for high positions in the future. Her strength now was likely even greater.

With just a few simple moves, Chen Xia had to admit his admiration. A genius daughter from such a prominent family and prestigious university was indeed very strong.

"Hmm?..." Jiang Xinglan's eyes flickered. After examining Chen Xia, she was somewhat surprised.

Her aura had entered his body, and she indeed sensed fist force. As for the specific reason for his rapid advancement, she couldn't discern it.

But for someone like Chen Xia to advance so rapidly in a short period, becoming a Martial Warrior and defeating Hu Biao, such astonishing progress, when it happened to an ordinary person, made Jiang Xinglan consider a possibility.

"Have you felt any unusual changes in yourself recently?"

Jiang Xinglan returned to her seat and looked at Chen Xia with her dark, bright eyes.

Chen Xia looked slightly suspicious and said, "Unusual... I just feel that my progress in martial arts has been faster lately, and I've gained some insights compared to before."

Hearing this, Jiang Xinglan nodded and said, "Martial Warriors have a kind of talent awakening. It can be innate or awakened after reaching a certain stage, such as amplified strength, speed talent, Star Essence talent, or rare mental talent!"

"Talent? You mean, Director..."

"For ordinary people, becoming a Martial Warrior is one in a thousand. For those who awaken talent, it's one in ten thousand."

"I examined you just now, and there were no other abnormalities, nor were you cultivating any evil techniques. But for someone to be stuck at a bottleneck for a long time and then suddenly make rapid progress in martial arts is very consistent with an acquired awakening Martial Warrior. You should have some kind of mental or physical talent that allows you to advance so quickly."

Jiang Xinglan smiled and said, "But this is a good thing. It means you can advance to a Grade 2 Martial Warrior in the future, and you have a promising future."

As she spoke, Jiang Xinglan took a book and a commendation letter from the documents on her desk.

"This is your bonus for completing this mission. I'll have Xiao Lin notify the finance department to transfer the 100,000 yuan bonus to your account. Also, this book, Vajra Bone Tempering Technique, is a gift from me to you."

Chen Xia took the book with "Vajra Bone Tempering Technique" written on the cover and was somewhat astonished.

"Director, this..."

He never dreamed that someone would give him something so precious. And it was a woman, his superior.

He knew a little about martial arts. Grade 1 and Grade 2 involved training the entire body and accumulating strength.

At Grade 3, one needed to specifically temper the bones, forging all the bones in the body into silver bones according to a special technique, along with silver dust, to become a more powerful Martial Warrior.

The foundation of a person's strength is their bones. Without the leverage of bones, one cannot exert strength, like a ball of soft flesh. But if a person's bones are as strong as steel, the strength they unleash will naturally be greater.

Martial Warriors rely on their physical bodies, so bone-tempering techniques are fundamental for Grade 3. Those at this stage can be called Martial Masters.

But a technique related to Grade 3 bone tempering, which costs over 200,000, was being given to him for free?

Seeing Chen Xia's reaction, Jiang Xinglan understood. She could see that he had made rapid progress recently and had great potential, belonging to the category of acquired geniuses. She had studied the video of him killing Hu Biao.

What shocked Jiang Xinglan the most was that Hu Biao's internal organs were pulverized. This was a special kind of fist force, something even a Grade 2 Martial Warrior might not be able to master.

She could only say... Chen Xia might possess a talent for martial arts, and this talent had potential.

Regardless, Hu Biao was not someone Chen Xia's current stage should be able to kill, yet Chen Xia had done it.

This was an open scheme.

It was intended to win people's hearts, and it usually had an excellent effect.

Jiang Xinglan had been in the Patrol Inspection Office for less than a year but had managed to secure the position of Chief Director, not solely through authority. A technique worth 200,000 yuan was nothing to her.

Jiang Xinglan said, "Take it! You are approaching Grade 2 Martial Warrior now, and you'll need Grade 3 bone tempering in the future. You urgently need a technique like this, but you must build a solid foundation at Grade 2 first before you can cultivate it. When all your bones are tempered like silver bones, that's when a Martial Warrior's true strength begins."

"Of course, this technique isn't given to you for free. I've already ordered the South City Branch Office to appoint you as captain. There's a conflict between mercenary groups in your area, and I suspect the Gathering Justice Mercenary Group is colluding with a cult."

"So, when you return, if you detect any anomalies there, you can report the situation directly to me. As the Chief Director of Patrol Inspection, I will not allow any cult organizations to commit crimes within my jurisdiction. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand! I will keep an eye on the movements of the Gathering Justice Mercenary Group. Please rest assured." Chen Xia looked at the Chief Director, whom he had never met before, and a flicker of emotion stirred within him.

Regardless of the other party's motives, he felt that Jiang Xinglan's actions were a form of considerate care.
