Shattering Stars, Microscopic Perception

"A two-hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Ginseng—not bad. I'll take this treasure ginseng when I break through to Transformation Force."

The thought flashed through Fang Xing's mind.

A two-hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Ginseng could not be wasted.

It was exceptionally suited for breaking through to Transformation Force.

Though he had already reached the peak of Dark Force, the Dragon Gate of Transformation Force was not easy to cross.

One step of change meant the difference between heaven and earth.

Transformation Force made one's force perfectly blended, fusing the ferocity of Bright Force with the restraint of Dark Force.

Hard and soft working in harmony, unified as one.

[Enhancement level increased. You may randomly enhance one of your own attributes.]

At that moment, a crimson prompt suddenly appeared before Fang Xing's eyes.

Looking at the prompt before him, Fang Xing froze. Joy instantly spread through his heart.

Other than enhancing his comprehension when he had first transmigrated, he had never found a way to enhance himself.

He had tried pressing his hands and feet against it.

There had not been the slightest response.

Now, he had finally triggered his second self-enhancement.

Though it was only a random enhancement of one attribute, being able to enhance any part of himself would surely allow him to climb another level.

His enhanced comprehension was the best proof of that.

Without comprehension blessed by heaven, reaching his current cultivation and strength would likely have taken far longer.

Fang Xing suppressed the excitement in his heart and calmed down.

"So, as long as my enhancement level rises, I can enhance one of my own attributes..."

The thought flashed through Fang Xing's mind. Now, he had found a way to enhance himself.

Raising his enhancement level not only expanded the range of things he could enhance, but also granted him one random self-enhancement.

And it was free.

Coming back to his senses, he swiftly summoned the Crimson Panel and saw a prompt at the bottom.

"Enhance!"

With a thought, a peculiar sensation instantly enveloped his body.

[You have enhanced your perception. Enhancement successful. Your perception has reached the microscopic level.]

"?"

"Microscopic perception?"

Fang Xing stared at the crimson prompt before him in astonishment.

This random enhancement had strengthened his perception, which truly caught him off guard.

Last time it had been comprehension; this time, perception.

The range was far too erratic.

"Microscopic perception..."

Fang Xing felt it out. He seemed able to perceive the entire courtyard, even the street outside it.

He could even clearly sense every single leaf in the courtyard.

"This is... Spider-Sense?!"

Fang Xing rose to his feet and experienced it again. Microscopic perception seemed rather similar to Spider-Sense.

It had greatly heightened his body's sensory abilities.

"If used in battle, this ability would be an excellent aid."

The thought flashed through Fang Xing's mind.

With such powerful bodily perception applied in combat, it would surely produce miraculous results.

Much like Spider-Sense, it meant he could clearly catch any trace; even the slightest movement could be sensed with perfect clarity.

This was different from simply seeing with his eyes.

His bodily perception—his pores, even every inch of his skin—had become many times sharper than before.

"Not bad either. For the next enhancement, I'll need to reach three stars."

Fang Xing let out a breath.

He now had a clearer understanding of enhancement levels.

The first was comprehension; the second was perception.

"Too bad I can't choose for myself." Fang Xing sighed.

If he could choose what to enhance, he would definitely choose his innate physique.

With comprehension blessed by heaven, coupled with powerful innate talent—

His cultivation would soar straight into the sky.

But with random enhancements, there was no way to guarantee anything.

Random enhancements were beyond prediction.

Still, as long as it could be improved, enhancing any attribute was good.

If an ability was ordinary, then once enhanced, its transformation would surely be astonishing.

Microscopic perception was an excellent example.

After calming himself, Fang Xing returned to his room.

He looked at the enhanced Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng and Blood Spirit Ginseng.

"Now that my enhancement level has broken through, does that mean I can perform a second enhancement?"

The thought flashed through his mind. When he focused his gaze on it, crimson text appeared again.

[A one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old enhanced Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng. Second enhancement requires 15,000 Enhancement Points.]

"...?"

How many?!

Fang Xing shot to his feet. He even suspected his eyes were playing tricks on him.

A second enhancement required fifteen thousand points!

This was robbery!

There was absolutely no value for the cost.

With fifteen thousand Enhancement Points, he could enhance a hundred Dragonblood Ginseng with points to spare.

Looking at the crimson prompt, Fang Xing turned his gaze to the Blood Spirit Ginseng. Its second enhancement required twenty thousand Enhancement Points.

Then he took out the enhanced martial arts manuals. The situation was the same.

Any item that had already been enhanced required a massive amount of Enhancement Points for a second enhancement.

Seeing this result, Fang Xing immediately gave up on the idea of a second enhancement.

There was no need to think about it—he definitely could not enhance them.

Wouldn't it be better to enhance other things with those Enhancement Points?

Trying to use his left foot to step on his right foot and fly into the sky was impossible.

The cost of a second enhancement far exceeded the normal range.

It was even more outrageous than enhancing gold or silver.

Coming back to his senses, Fang Xing put away the enhanced Treasure Medicine and entered the bedroom.

Summoning the panel, he inspected it.

Name: Fang Xing

Cultivation: Peak Dark Force

Enhancement Level: Two Stars (0%)

Enhancement Points: 8

"One-star enhancement required a total of one thousand points. Then how many will it take for two-star enhancement to rise..."

Fang Xing looked at the panel and fell into thought.

Two stars!

He had risen by an entire step.

"I won't think about it for now. I don't even have any Enhancement Points left." Settling his thoughts, Fang Xing closed the panel and turned his gaze to the cowhide scroll.

When he opened the cowhide scroll again, a prompt appeared.

[A superior Inner Elixir Art. Enhancement requires 1,000 Enhancement Points.]

"One thousand points..."

"That's much more expensive."

Fang Xing sighed inwardly, but he could understand why a superior martial art required one thousand points.

After all, even a basic martial art like the Grappling Art required sixty Enhancement Points, let alone a superior martial art.

"One thousand... Looks like I'll have to consider it after breaking through to Transformation Force."

Fang Xing calmed down.

With so many Enhancement Points needed, accumulating them at his current pace would take a long time.

Though he had a cleanup plan, the Enhancement Points from those cleanup operations were all intended to prepare for his breakthrough into Transformation Force.

Once he crossed this Dragon Gate, it would not be too late to enhance it.

Strength was what mattered most.

Even if a superior martial art was enhanced, it could not be mastered overnight.

It required daily accumulation and long-term cultivation to improve.

After glancing at the Long-Life Inner Elixir Art, Fang Xing put away the cowhide scroll.

There was no need to rush over a dedicated internal cultivation method. His Demon Subduing Technique could be cultivated as well.

"I should rest first."

Closing his eyes, Fang Xing went to sleep.

The night passed until dawn.

After practicing two martial arts for a while, Fang Xing headed to the County Yamen.

In the Central Ward Office, Fang Xing sat in a Grandmaster Chair, reviewing information on the major factions of North City.

The cleanup plan had to proceed step by step.

He would deal with the weak ones first, then eliminate the powerful ones.

From weak to strong!

But before making a move, he had to obtain the most detailed information possible.

North City's underworld factions were chaotic.

There were dozens of factions, large and small.

All of them were targets of his cleanup.

"The Golden Wolf Gang has the most detailed information... Mm, they can be the first target."

After reading for a while, Fang Xing swiftly selected a target.

The Golden Wolf Gang!

The gang leader, the strategist—there were three Bright Force martial artists in the Golden Wolf Gang altogether.

Fang Xing had already encountered them when he became a Deputy Constable.

The Golden Wolf Gang had plenty of sordid dealings in the shadows.

Basically, not a single one of these underworld factions was clean.

He would not feel the slightest softness toward these underworld factions.

Eradicating them would not only earn him Enhancement Points, but also rid the people of harm and clean up public order—killing two birds with one stone!

He would not touch the major factions for now; he could not swallow them yet.

Especially the five great factions. They were powerful and deeply rooted.

With his current strength, confronting them head-on would be no different from seeking death.

Without the strength of Transformation Force, he would absolutely not consider it.
