Chapter 105: Secret Martial Arts Initiation
Chapter 105: Secret Martial Arts Initiation
A sweet potato vendor killed his trusted subordinate and eight or nine of his underlings? If this was true, it would be a laughingstock if it got out.
Wang Weisen strongly suspected that the two men before him had found a scapegoat to cover up their incompetence.
"Sen Ge, I know you don't believe it, but what if this information was leaked to me by a core disciple of the Flying Eagle Martial Arts Academy?" The man's face lit up.
As his words fell, Wang Weisen's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Who was it?"
"Xiao Yuanqing."
The man spoke the three words.
"Him? The third disciple of Tang Pavilion Master?"
Wang Weisen's mind immediately conjured up Xiao Yuanqing's appearance.
"That's right, Sen Ge. It was him, and he even took the initiative to find me and reveal this information. Otherwise, I would still be in the dark."
The man recounted the situation, feeling a chill down his spine.
He had initially thought that the other party had discovered his secret investigation and was looking for trouble, but unexpectedly, the person proactively provided intelligence, greatly helping him.
"Oh? What did he say?" Wang Weisen asked eagerly.
"He said that their Martial Arts Academy recently had a new member named Jiang Cheng, who had reached a proficient level in double sticks. If their core disciples didn't fight with full force, it would be difficult to defeat him. He heard that Leopard Brother and the others were killed by blunt instruments, so he reminded me that Jiang Cheng might be the murderer we're looking for."
"Is this true?" Wang Weisen stood up abruptly.
"Sen Ge, I'm telling you the truth," the man affirmed without a hint of doubt.
"Okay, okay."
Wang Weisen sat down.
The core disciples of the Martial Arts Academy were top-notch even without using Secret Arts. After drawing blood, they could easily take on ten or more opponents with weapons.
The sweet potato vendor named Jiang Cheng, who could match them, was no ordinary man! He might very well be the murderer of Leopard Brother.
"So, we've been investigating the wrong direction from the start?" Wang Weisen muttered to himself.
"Sen Ge, I think that kid is hiding his true abilities. Who would've thought a street vendor would have such skills?" the other man spoke up.
"Yeah, Sen Ge, if it weren't for Xiao Yuanqing's reminder, we would never have suspected him."
"Hmm."
Wang Weisen nodded in agreement. "If that kid is as skilled as Xiao Yuanqing claims, then he's most likely the murderer. Even if he isn't, we don't have much time to investigate."
Upon hearing this, the two men in front of him exchanged a glance, relieved.
"By the way, do you know why Xiao Yuanqing shared this information with you?"
"He didn't answer when I asked, but I could tell that there's definitely bad blood between them."
"No wonder."
Wang Weisen nodded.
"Go and find out where that kid lives."
"Yes, Sen Ge."
"Sen Ge, finding that kid shouldn't be difficult, but if he's truly the murderer, we might not be a match for him."
"Don't worry, I'll invite some experts to help. Go ahead and take care of it."
Wang Weisen chuckled coldly.
If the murderer was from the Iron Fist Gang or a Martial Arts Academy, he would have to be cautious. Even if they were to kill, it would have to be done discreetly.
But for a street vendor, there was no need for such caution. What could they do, even if they killed in broad daylight? Moreover, after this task, he would leave and reside in the Outer Borough.
Even if the Flying Eagle Martial Arts Academy found out, they would pretend otherwise.
The next day, after finishing breakfast, Jiang Cheng began his morning martial arts practice. For him, there was no need to go to the martial arts academy; after all, he couldn't very well go and practice the secret martial arts there.
As for whether or not he would go to his stall in the afternoon, considering that the Iron Fist Gang had just issued a notice yesterday, it was likely that business would be severely affected. So, he decided it was acceptable to stay home.
Time passed slowly.
Around 10:30 in the morning, after completing a set of martial arts techniques, the experience bar for the Shattered Jade Fist finally filled up.
At that moment, a flood of information rushed into Jiang Cheng's mind.
It seemed that after practicing the Shattered Jade Fist for three months, his memory of it had become much clearer.
He now had a basic understanding of the meridians and acupoints on his arms and could even name them, knowing which acupoints were located in which general area.
What surprised him even more was that he felt a slight cool breeze, like a living creature, wandering through his arms.
"Is this the Primordial Force?"
Jiang Cheng's eyes widened in amazement.
He was both shocked and delighted.
The Primordial Force was everywhere, but ordinary people's constitutions were often too weak to even sense it.
By absorbing secret medicines and practicing secret martial arts, one could strengthen their constitution in a short time, making it possible to sense and absorb the Primordial Force into their body.
The stronger the constitution, the more Primordial Force one could absorb and contain.
However, if the absorbed force was not refined or stored in the acupoints, it would gradually leak out of the body.
Therefore, once a beginner successfully absorbs the Primordial Force into their body, they must begin to cultivate inner arts to refine it, further strengthening their constitution.
This is not only to absorb and contain more Primordial Force but also to sense the acupoints.
It should be known that acupoints are subtle and difficult to capture, and while their approximate locations are fixed, they often shift with the flow of qi and blood.
Once the physical body is strengthened to a certain degree, one's perception of the internal flow of qi and blood will become clearer, allowing one to naturally sense the precise locations of the acupoints and continuously consume the Primordial Force to impact them with their mind and soul.
With each acupoint opened, one's strength will increase accordingly.
Moreover, once an acupoint is opened, it can absorb the Primordial Force on its own, creating its own little world. The absorbed force cannot escape.
In other words, in addition to absorbing the Primordial Force through meditation, there is another method to absorb it without consuming a lot of mental energy, and the speed of strengthening the constitution is naturally faster than others. If one opens ten acupoints, they can obtain more Primordial Force, or if they are stuck in a stagnation period, many will quickly increase their qi and blood, making it easier to sense the next acupoint and impact it with the Primordial Force. Secret medicines work in a similar way.
Jiang Cheng rested for a while, took a sip of water, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and focused his mind, following the methods of the Shattered Jade Technique to sense the Primordial Force.
Before long, a strange scene unfolded. Although his eyes were closed, he "saw" countless points of light surrounding him, passing through walls, and even entering through his front and exiting from his back.
These were all Primordial Forces.
Jiang Cheng's mind moved, and those points of light seemed to be drawn by some kind of force, inching closer and closer.
Just then, a message appeared on the panel.
[Shattered Jade Technique Experience +1]
Every second, this message reappeared.
Countless points of light surged towards his arms, and the second hand on the wall ticked by.
Jiang Cheng's forehead began to bead with sweat, and his frown deepened.
The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and began to breathe heavily.
