Martial Disciple Fifth Heaven

Hearing the voice, Zheng Cheng did not turn his head, standing with his hands behind his back: "Speak, what news do you have?"

"Reporting to Supervisor Zheng."

Song Hui immediately said: "We haven't found the target yet, but someone came to report that we have lost five or six men. They were all experts at the fourth heaven of the Martial Apprentice realm, killed in a single blow."

"What?" Zheng Cheng frowned, "Killed in a single blow? Tell me in detail."

Song Hui thought for a moment and said: "The places where they died were abandoned buildings, secluded alleys, and so on. They were all caught off guard, ambushed, and had their hearts shattered by a single punch, their lungs pulverized, and some even had their necks snapped."

"From this, we can see that the opponent has extremely strong combat power, is experienced, ruthless, and calculating, but I estimate their strength does not exceed the fifth heaven of the Martial Apprentice realm, otherwise they wouldn't have needed to ambush."

From these clues, he immediately deduced several conclusions.

"Indeed, I see it too. Judging from the wounds on the traitor he killed, the attack power is very strong, but the cultivation level is not high; the fifth heaven of the Martial Apprentice realm is the absolute limit."

Zheng Cheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "However, that guy is experienced and has powerful combat techniques, so he cannot be underestimated. We must dispatch an expert at the sixth heaven of the Martial Apprentice realm to deal with him."

"But the company also needs to guard against ambushes from other gangs and protect the company's assets, so we cannot casually dispatch too many strong individuals. Let's do this: call Zheng Hua over, have him find the enemy, and kill him on the spot!"

What, Zheng Hua?!

When Song Hui heard this, his eyes flickered. This Zheng Hua was none other than Zheng Cheng's own son. At only eighteen years old, he already possessed the cultivation of the sixth heaven of the Martial Apprentice realm and was considered a genius of Black Bear Company.

Moreover, despite his young age, he had already been mixing in the underworld and possessed quite a bit of combat experience. He could be said to be very powerful, but this Zheng Hua was, after all, Zheng Cheng's son, and his only son at that.

If any accident were to happen to him during the pursuit, he feared he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

"Supervisor Zheng, this matter is extremely dangerous. The opponent is a desperate man who is ruthless and vicious; I fear this is not appropriate." Song Hui's eyes flickered as he couldn't help but remind him.

Zheng Cheng waved his hand: "No need to worry. He is merely a person at the fifth heaven of the Martial Apprentice realm; how could he possibly do anything to my son? Even if he can't defeat the opponent, he can at least escape."

"Besides, in a few months, he will be applying for university. His current strength is still a bit insecure, and I hope he can gain a little more combat experience so that his chances of getting into a top-tier university will be slightly higher."

"Yes, Supervisor Zheng."

Since it had been put this way, Song Hui had no reason to refuse and immediately went to handle the arrangements.

At night, in an abandoned warehouse in Black Moon City, the surroundings were desolate and uninhabited.

Xia Ping was hiding in a secluded room of this warehouse, very secretly; no one could find him.

To escape the pursuit of Black Bear Company, he had constantly broken through their lines, subsequently killing five or six underworld thugs. He had also sustained some injuries, and only after finally breaking out of the encirclement did he arrive at this warehouse to rest temporarily.

However, after so many intense battles, he felt more or less exhausted, and he hadn't really eaten anything until now; he was practically starving and freezing.

"This won't do. If things continue like this, I, Xia Ping, will surely die an untimely death." Xia Ping clenched his fists. He never expected that group of underworld figures to be so vicious and ruthless; every one of them was a desperate criminal.

Even when they saw their companions die, they didn't even frown, instead attacking even more fiercely. One moment of carelessness, and he had been slashed by one of the thugs.

Of course, he had backhanded a palm, shattering the other's skull and leaving him bleeding from all seven orifices. But regardless, he had sustained some injuries, and his combat power had diminished somewhat.

"Although it's a bit dangerous, I must take the Golden Potion and advance to the fifth heaven of the Martial Apprentice realm." Xia Ping's eyes flickered, and he finally made up his mind. Given his current strength, continuing like this was a dead end.

Snap. He opened the package he was carrying and took out a Golden Potion.

Gulp, gulp.

Without a second thought, Xia Ping swallowed the bottle of Golden Potion. Immediately, he felt an energy like molten lava enter his body, then merge into his blood, flowing through countless blood vessels.

His heart beat like a drum, his veins bulged, his muscles swelled, and it felt as if molten lava was flowing within him, as if he were about to explode.

"Too violent."

He finally understood why the Golden Potion required at least someone at the seventh heaven of the Martial Apprentice realm to consume it; the medicinal power was too intense. If an ordinary person consumed it, their body would explode in an instant, leading to an untimely death.

Xia Ping felt that after the Golden Potion entered his body, the golden liquid and the violent energy were rampaging crazily; it was so violent that his heart, blood vessels, and even his head felt as if they were about to burst.

Pure Yang Indestructible Art!

Boom! He immediately circulated this mental cultivation method, assuming the five-hearts-toward-the-sky posture. As the massive true qi flowed within his body, his dantian seemed to transform into a furnace.

This violent golden energy rampaging through his body seemed to be attracted by a mysterious force, pouring into his dantian one after another. Then, through the refining and purification of the furnace, impurities were expelled, the violent medicinal power was thoroughly cleared away, and only the purest and most gentle energy remained, which then surged into his countless meridians.

"As expected of the Pure Yang Indestructible Art, it is truly powerful." Xia Ping sighed with emotion. Sure enough, after this circulation of true qi, these violent energies became as docile as tamed wild wolves.

In fact, this was normal. A top-tier cultivation method like the Pure Yang Indestructible Art could easily refine even violent energy like solar essence, so a mere Golden Potion was nothing at all.

He felt this gentle energy surge into his body, and every cell in his body seemed to be cheering and leaping for joy, absorbing this energy like a greedy glutton, growing and evolving.

Bang!

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when this energy reached its peak, a meridian was instantly pierced through. Immediately, Xia Ping felt the true qi within his body grow stronger by a significant margin.

In this instant, his muscles, meridians, bones, and skin were all greatly strengthened. The previous wounds also shrank rapidly, recovering as if he had undergone a transformation.

The massive true qi flowed around his body like a rushing river, making a splashing sound. A huge air current vibrated around his body, clearing away all the dust in the vicinity.

"Success, I've advanced to the fifth heaven of the Martial Apprentice realm!"

Xia Ping clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and endless joy surged in his heart. He had finally pierced through the fifth meridian and advanced to the fifth heaven of the Martial Apprentice realm; the true qi in his body was more than fifty percent stronger than before.

Bang! He couldn't help but throw a punch, and an air explosion immediately occurred in the air. His muscles transmitted force inch by inch, like a tiger or a bear, with qi energy radiating everywhere; the power was terrifying.

This punch reached at least three thousand jin of force, far surpassing Xiong Batian!
