[Name]: Gu Sheng
[Age]: 16
[Realm]: Blood Refining Realm (small success)
[Martial Arts]: Chop firewood (Tier 1 Rend), Archery (First-order Penetration), Iron Stone Fist (Tier 1 Mighty Strength), Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art (Tier 1 Body Strengthening), Snake Breathing Technique (perfect 0%), Flying Thunder Leg (small success 64%)
I saw that on the panel, the martial arts column had transformed again.
The first is Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art, which has reached the level of special effects!
Tier 1 Body Strengthening!
This is a special effect that surprised even Gu Sheng. Originally, he thought that Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art's special effect should be an auxiliary special effect related to disguise and transformation, but he never expected that this special effect was more focused on combat.
"Once I enter the strong state, my body can reach a height of two meters! Not only does my body become taller and stronger, but most importantly, my strength and body strength have also been greatly improved."
"At least at this stage, it can increase by about 50%!"
Five percent!
What kind of concept is this? It means that if Gu Sheng enters a strong state and then uses Iron Stone Fist, its own strength will be close to 5,000 kilograms!
It's simply a ferocious beast in human form.
"Tier 1 Body Strengthening plus Tier 1 Mighty Strength, the combination of these two special effects is my strongest combat state! Now my archery skills are a bit behind."
Gu Sheng is a little regretful, but there is nothing that can be done about it. Without Archery Martial Art, just relying on ordinary archery skills, as his cultivation level gets higher and higher, he is destined to slowly be unable to keep up.
However, it is still very useful for shooting low-level warriors.
In addition to the surprise brought by Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art, the perfect state of Snake Breathing Technique also surprised him.
"It's not in vain that I waited a few days to cultivate Snake Breathing Technique to the state of perfection!"
Originally, after Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art reached the level of special effects a few days ago, Gu Sheng was thinking about whether to become Blade Hunter, but in the end he suppressed his impulse and decided to cultivate Snake Breathing Technique to perfection.
"After completion, Snake Breathing Technique can indeed enter the state of suspended animation!"
"The state of suspended animation is not used to pretend to be dead, but all vitality, pulse, qi and blood and other body functions will be converged to the extreme. It is no different from a dead person. Even if Bone Refining Realm is in person, don't even think of detecting the fluctuations of my qi and blood!"
This is important to Gu Sheng.
As long as he doesn't want to show it off, no one will know that he has become a master of the Blood Refining Realm Xiaocheng!
More importantly, becoming a Blade Hunter hunter and killing gangsters will definitely be more efficient with the help of Snake Breathing Technique.
As for Flying Thunder Leg, it has also reached the level of success.
This increases the speed of Gu Sheng a lot.
At least against most Blood Refining Realm warriors, speed will not be his shortcoming. After all, many Blood Refining Realm warriors' martial arts realm is only a small success.
"Furthermore, based on my current liver experience, Flying Thunder Leg will improve even faster next time!"
Gu Sheng The corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
Now that Iron Stone Fist and Body Shifting and Bone Changing Art have developed special effects, there is no need to spend a lot of time gaining experience, which means that he only needs to work hard to practice Snake Breathing Technique and Flying Thunder Leg, and his efficiency will naturally increase greatly.
The only thing that gives Gu Sheng a headache now is the blood refining progress.
It's not that the progress is too slow. In fact, since I started practicing Flying Thunder Leg, new power has appeared and transformed into the power of qi and blood. Gu Sheng's flesh and blood transformation has become faster!
It's because the effect of Blood Nourishing Powder has become much weaker.
"According to the comparison of previous experiments, my current income from using Blood Strengthening Powder will be higher. It is better to use the same money to purchase Blood Strengthening Powder."
"But the price of Blood Strengthening Powder is not low, one portion costs twenty-five taels of silver!"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but shake his head.
If you continue to sit back and do nothing, your subsequent cultivation will really stagnate.
It is imminent to become Blade Hunter to earn money. Fortunately, the observation during this period has allowed Gu Sheng to basically know the advantages and disadvantages of Blade Hunter's position.
"In recent times, Blade Hunter has become a hot topic in Canghe County. Whether it is for fame or profit, many warriors who feel they have extraordinary abilities have embarked on this path. Okay, naturally they will gain both fame and fortune, but the end will be tragic, that is, no bones left!"
Canghe County The gangsters who have survived for so many years are not soft persimmons. Even if they have certain intelligence information, it does not mean that they will definitely win.
Many Blade Hunters rolled over and died, and many hot-headed people began to gradually wake up.
Anyone who dares to take on the Blade Hunter mission now basically has two brushes.
Gu Sheng knows this very well.
So he observed for a long time and only considered becoming Blade Hunter after improving his strength to the extreme.
"But it's not that easy to become Blade Hunter. If there is no threshold, anyone can try. Liu Yuanhu is very smart. He will post some wanted criminal lists from time to time outside the city."
"Want to become a real Blade Hunter? You must hold the heads of wanted criminals. In a sense, this also proves your ability. Only after becoming Blade Hunter can you use the government's intelligence to hunt down the real murderers."
Gu Sheng A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, this test is not very difficult, at least not for him.
"Take a day off today and enter the city tomorrow!"
The next day, Gu Sheng walked on the official road early in the morning. After practicing Flying Thunder Leg, his running speed greatly increased, and the time required to travel to and from the county town became shorter.
soon.
He stepped into the gate of Canghe County City.
At the city gate, there were many people gathered in front of the notice board. The list of wanted criminals would be updated from time to time, and they were all villains.
However, their cultivation levels are not very high. Most of them are physically stronger than ordinary people. A few are Stone Skin stage warriors. Iron Skin stage warriors are very rare and will almost never appear here.
Gu Sheng glanced at it, remembered this issue's wanted list in his mind, and turned around to leave.
He was in no rush to complete the qualification tasks.
Before that, he needed to do one more thing, get his customized weapon.
Although the black market opened again half a month ago, Gu Sheng had already contacted the stall owner who originally set up a stall in the black market in advance, and he customized a giant ax for himself!
In the future, Blade Hunter, Gu Sheng didn't want others to think of him, so he simply disguised himself and tried not to use his signature archery skills. Even Iron Stone Fist had to use it as little as possible. Fortunately, the power of the first-level firewood chopping should not be underestimated, and it was enough to meet the needs of Gu Sheng.
After walking around the outer city for a few times, Gu Sheng soon stopped in front of an alley. In the distance, one could see ragged beggars and homeless people, and there were faint prying eyes, but Gu Sheng glanced at them and immediately made those eyes retreat in fear.
The current Gu Sheng is naturally not his true appearance.
The face is full of flesh, the muscles are swollen, the height is 1.8 meters, the eyes are fierce, and he has the image of a reckless man. This body shape is the limit that can be achieved without using the Tier 1 Body Strengthening state, and it is also the Blade Hunter image that Gu Sheng created for himself.
"Blacksmith, I'll get the axe."
Gu Sheng spoke in a deep voice with a rough voice.
Not long after.
The door lock shook, the door opened, and a woman in plain clothes with an ordinary face came out. The only thing that impressed people was the two exposed arms outside the short sleeves. The muscles were strong and even more prominent than Gu Sheng's arms.
It was the weapons stall owner in the black market.
I don't know her real name, Gu Sheng just calls her blacksmith.
After the two of them have collaborated more often, they have developed some mutual understanding and trust.
The woman glanced at Gu Sheng.
"Over there, go get it yourself."
He said as few words as ever. After saying that, he walked to the weapon on the other side and started playing with it.
Gu Sheng is not surprised. After taking a look at the yard, there are a lot of weapons scattered here and there, which can be called high-quality products in the outside world. The 'blacksmith''s craftsmanship is indeed good and reliable, and he has many regular customers.
His eyes lingered on a giant axe.
I saw that the huge ax was completely black and was two meters long. The broad ax blade shone with cold light. The ax surface was as smooth as a mirror. The tip of the pole stretched out and was extremely sharp. It was a big killer at first glance!
You can imagine how brutal this ferocious giant ax must be when used to chop firewood.
Gu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and took the giant ax in his hand.
He felt the heavy weight instantly. With his current strength, he could use it just right without tiring his hands.
"This giant ax weighs one hundred and eight kilograms. The main material is fine iron. I have specially treated the ax blade and added cold stone. It is tough and sharp and will not bend easily. You can use it with confidence."
The blacksmith's voice came from the side.
Only when she was describing her work did she talk more. Gu Sheng turned around and saw a satisfied look in the blacksmith's eyes, not looking at herself, but at the giant ax in her hand.
He grinned, the flesh on his face piled together:
"Thanks, blacksmith."
The blacksmith shook his head indifferently.
"The balance is eighty taels of silver, you're welcome."
Gu Sheng couldn't help but laugh. He took out the banknote from his wallet and handed it over. The blacksmith's character was still as unique as ever. The cost of this giant ax was very high, but Gu Sheng felt it was worth it. With this giant ax in hand, his combat power would be stronger!
He picked up the giant ax and left voluntarily.
Both of them are of a no-nonsense nature.
The blacksmith glanced at Gu Sheng's back, with a trace of thought flashing in his eyes:
"Being able to easily pick up a giant ax weighing 108 kilograms, he should be Blood Refining Realm. Even if not, he must be born with great strength, and his strength is pretty good."
"But it has nothing to do with me. I'm just a blacksmith who makes weapons."
She put away some distracting thoughts and continued to concentrate on handling the iron material in front of her. Those who could see her true appearance basically came here after dealing with her for a period of time and had a certain degree of trust.
She is not worried about Gu Sheng being greedy. After all, she is not a weak person who is powerless.
Gu Sheng walked out of the alley, carrying a giant ax behind him. He was even taller than others. Combined with the muscular image of his face, it was even more awe-inspiring and made people afraid to peep at him.
"Another eighty taels of silver have been spent. If I don't make money well, I won't have any money for my cultivation."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and walked towards the outside of the city.
He had already made a plan to select a wanted criminal as his target. During this period of time, besides practicing, he had not been idle. He had gained a better understanding of the Canghe County world. It was not difficult for him to find such a wanted criminal.
The sun sets over the western mountains.
A sturdy figure stopped at the gate of the county government office, carrying a giant ax on his back and holding a bloody head in his left hand, which made people feel scared when they saw him.
The detectives on duty looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat, and they quickly stepped forward and asked:
"May I ask if this hero is here for the Blade Hunter assessment?"
Gu Sheng said in a deep voice:
"Yes, this is the head. Please check it."
As he said that, the bloody head was thrown over and rolled down on the ground, stained with dust, and looked even more ferocious. The policeman picked it up hurriedly, not daring to show any anger. This strong man looked like a vicious man and could not be easily offended!
If a police officer didn't have this kind of vision, he wouldn't be alive today.
"Wait a minute, good man."
A police officer grabbed the head and quickly entered the county government office. Soon, he returned, his expression becoming more respectful.
"What do you call a good man?"
"Butcher."
"Sir Butcher, please come here. This is your Blade Hunter waist card and silver reward. You can use this waist card to enter and exit to accept tasks in the future."
Gu Sheng took the red wooden waist tag. The front was engraved with the three gilded characters Blade Hunter, and the back was the characters A, 69, which seemed to be a serial number. The reward was only a dozen or so taels. After all, this wanted criminal was not strong.
The policeman was respectful and led Gu Sheng into another courtyard next to the county government office.
Gu Sheng looked fierce, but he was actually quietly looking at the surrounding environment.
This courtyard is quite quiet. After walking around for a few times, there is Grotto-Heaven. It is a lobby with several wooden tables. There are servants sitting in front of the tables and there is a book.
"Sir Butcher, if you want to take on tasks in the future, you can do it here. Just explain your needs to them."
The policeman finished speaking, confessed his crime, and turned around to leave.
Gu Sheng nodded secretly in his heart. Besides him, there were two or three warriors with unique temperaments who were asking questions at other wooden tables. It was not difficult to tell from the wooden plaques around their waists that these were Blade Hunter.
The arrival of Gu Sheng attracted a lot of attention.
After all, the exaggerated shape of the giant ax combined with the current aspect of Gu Sheng can easily make people fearful.
Gu Sheng walked to an empty wooden table without squinting his eyes.
The young official suddenly became nervous:
"My lord, what kind of bounty mission do you want to take? Please tell me your requirements."
Gu Sheng crossed his arms and said calmly:
"The strength is around Jade Skin stage. The target is alone. Please provide more detailed information."
Although he is very strong now, even if he is perfect against the Blood Refining Realm, he still doesn't plan to be too aggressive in the first mission.
"Okay! Wait a moment, sir!"
The clerk hurriedly lowered his head and opened the book, searching carefully for fear of being neglected in the slightest. Not many of these Blade Hunter had good tempers, and those who dared to kill people to earn a living had some abilities and quirks.
After a while, the clerk finally raised his head and said respectfully:
"Sir, there are three people who can meet your needs."
"Tell me more about it."
"The first person is rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. His name is Xiong Jianmei. He is good at swordsmanship. He appeared in Blackwater Town three days ago. He once killed a family of thirteen. He was extremely vicious. An adult Blade Hunter died in his hands before..."
"The second person is rewarded with seventy taels of silver. His name is Yao Jiu. He is good at movement. Half a month ago, he used smoke to destroy the innocence of a waiting girl. He appeared in Baishi Town five days ago..."
"The third person is rewarded with eighty taels of silver. His name is Ying Ming. He is good at disguise..."
Gu Sheng Listen carefully.
The reward of nearly one hundred taels of silver is already very rich for the Skin Refining stage warrior.
The second and third people are good at movement and disguise respectively. They are a bit slippery, difficult to deal with, and require time and effort.
The first person seems to have the highest force value, but to Gu Sheng, there is not much difference.
"I'll take the first bounty mission."
After saying that, he took out his waistband and handed it over.
The clerk took it respectfully, lowered his head and started recording, and then returned the badge.
"Sir, this Xiong Jianmei is not a good person. Please be more careful. If something cannot be done, each Blade Hunter has two opportunities to cancel the mission a year. After two times, he must complete the previous mission before he can accept a new mission."
"In addition, Blade Hunter's mission is not unique. If another adult completes the mission first, you will have to change the mission again."
Listening to this rule, Gu Sheng nodded slowly.
In a short period of time, this Blade Hunter turned out to be decent.
"I understand. Is there a time limit for this task?"
"No, as long as no one else completes it, you can continue. After completion, just come here with the target's identity certificate to collect the reward. This is Xiong Jianmei's information."
The clerk respectfully handed over a pamphlet.
It contains detailed records of Xiong Jianmei's appearance, life, what he committed, what he is good at in martial arts, etc.
"This information may not all be true. You still need to identify the details yourself."
Gu Sheng naturally knows this. Just like if Liu Yuanhu searches for information about himself, he must be just a stone-skinned warrior who is good at archery. But who knows that his actual combat power is comparable to that of the Blood Refining Realm.
This is also the reason why Gu Sheng only chose Jade Skin stage warrior as his target for the first time.
Let's get familiar with the process first.
If you encounter any old Yinbi, there is still room for change.
These criminals can still get away with it after committing crimes, so they must not be simple things.
Gu Sheng turned and left under the awed eyes of the clerk.
Three days later.
Blackwater Town, a strong figure carrying a giant ax stepped here.
Blackwater Town is a small town under Canghe County. It is not bad at all. At least it has all the basic restaurants, pawn shops and gambling houses. The people on the street look better than the people in Gu Family Village, but they are obviously not as good as Canghe County. There are also more homeless and beggars.
After the new emperor came to the throne, although no major turmoil occurred, the people's life was still not easy. Many people became homeless slaves after their fields were occupied.
"This Xiong Jianmei is quite courageous. If an ordinary person knows that he is wanted by Blade Hunter, he would probably disappear without a trace. But he is lucky enough to have returned to Blackwater Town."
Gu Sheng was secretly amazed.
After searching for several days, I didn't expect to finally find his traces at Blackwater Town.
He slowly stepped into the city. His strong body carrying a huge ax made people afraid to look directly at him, and they all retreated.
He kept going.
Before walking to a slum, there, a short swordsman was holding a child's body, his head lowered, as if he was immersed in sadness.
