Chapter 129: Breakthrough to Spirit Refinement, Shocking the World

Chapter 129: Breakthrough to Spirit Refinement, Shocking the World

"Twenty years ago, the Blood Transformation and Preheaven Masters of that time, aside from those from prominent families, only had two paths to choose from."

"Join the Secret Police!"

"Or die!!"

"What do you think, in such a situation, how many experts does the Secret Police have?" Fire God Evil God asked with a hint of a smile.

Zhao Zheng nodded in understanding.

In this environment, those masters who didn't want to die had no choice but to join the Secret Police and become the Imperial Court's lackeys.

Fire God Evil God continued, "As for you, ordinary experts are not a concern. You need to be cautious of the Secret Police's Six Divine Messengers, the Inspector General, and the Commander."

"All Six Divine Messengers are Preheaven Masters, and each of their strengths surpasses mine."

"As for the Inspector General and the Commander, they are even more so unparalleled experts in the Spirit Refining Realm!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng's expression remained calm as he clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for the information."

...

Name: Zhao Shanhe (Zhao Zheng)



Age: 19

Martial Arts: Dragon Roar Iron Shirt (Supreme Mastery), Iron Sand Palm (Supreme Mastery), Cloud Chasing Steps (Supreme Mastery), Ninefold Sun Divine Skill (Supreme Mastery), Eighteen Palm Dragon Subjugation (Supreme Mastery)



Current Realm: Preheaven Apex

Current Martial Arts Points: 75630

Available Spirit Energy Points: 21995

As Zhao Zheng walked out of the mental hospital and saw his Martial Arts Points and Spirit Energy Points on the attribute panel, he couldn't help but smile.

This trip's harvest was the most he had ever gained.

He glanced at the time on his pocket watch.

It was already past ten in the evening.

There were hardly any people on the streets.

After some thought, Zhao Zheng didn't return to the hotel but went back to the place where he had previously fought with Fire God Evil God.

It had to be said that the place he chose was very secluded.

Zhao Zheng was about to break through his realm here! After observing the surroundings and confirming that no one was around, he utilized his Spirit Energy Points.

Upgrade!

Instantly, the once starry night sky became engulfed in rolling dark clouds.

The clouds blocked out the sun, reducing visibility in the night to pitch blackness, where one couldn't see their fingers in front of their face.

An indescribable sense of oppression shrouded the earth.

This strange phenomenon was still evident even in the darkness...

...

Inside the mental hospital, Fire God Evil God, who had just rested, seemed to sense something. He quickly rushed out of the ward and onto the rooftop terrace.

He looked towards the direction of their previous fight and saw that the area was covered in dark clouds, and thunder rumbled.

"Is... someone breaking through to the Spirit Refining Realm?"

Fire God Evil God seemed to have realized something and couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock, "Could it be that boy?"

"An unparalleled genius! An unparalleled genius!!"

Fire God Evil God was full of admiration, and there was also a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

...

At the same time, many martial arts experts felt something and quickly climbed to higher ground, gazing towards the direction of the dark clouds.

After a while, seven or eight martial artists dressed in court official uniforms swiftly moved through the night, running towards the location of the anomaly.

However.

When they arrived, they couldn't find anyone.

"Your Excellency, there are signs of a fight here!"

"With such destructive power, it must have been two Preheaven experts fighting here."

"It seems that someone gained something during the fight and successfully broke through to the Spirit Refining Realm."

"Quickly report to the Divine Messenger..."

...

Zhao Zheng had returned to the hotel.

A smile remained on his face.

After breaking through to the Spirit Refining Realm, the world he saw seemed to have transformed.

Firstly, his five senses and six perceptions had significantly enhanced.

He could see the floating particles in the air, hear the movements of the sewer rats, and smell the lewd scent coming from the neighboring room...

He had just seen a late-night customer.

With just a glance, the robust Qi and blood within the person's body became clearly visible to Zhao Zheng.

This was the Qi and blood of a Bright Essence martial artist!

It could be said that in Zhao Zheng's perception, nothing could escape his notice.

No wonder the Imperial Court was determined to hunt down Spirit Refining experts.

Indeed, the "Divine Sense" of Spirit Refining experts was incredibly powerful, allowing them to easily see through the demons hiding beneath human skin.

Moreover, in terms of strength, the current Zhao Zheng was even stronger than his original self.

Because after spending 2000 Spirit Energy Points to upgrade to the Spirit Refining Realm, he further spent 10,000 Spirit Energy Points to reach the Spirit Refining Peak!!

Name: Zhao Shanhe (Zhao Zheng)



Age: 19

Martial Arts: Dragon Roar Iron Shirt (Supreme Mastery), Iron Sand Palm (Supreme Mastery), Cloud Chasing Steps (Supreme Mastery), Ninefold Sun Divine Skill (Supreme Mastery), Eighteen Palm Dragon Subjugation (Supreme Mastery)



Current Realm: Spirit Refining Peak

Current Martial Arts Points: 75630

Available Spirit Energy Points: 9995

...

This was Zhao Zheng's current attribute panel.

Logically, his Spirit Energy Points should have been enough to reach the Earthly Immortal level.

Unfortunately, he couldn't upgrade further!

He had tried, but whenever he attempted to improve his realm, the message 【Realm Upgrade Failed】 would appear in his left eye.

It seemed that the limit of Spirit Energy Points for upgrading was the Spirit Refining Peak, and to reach the Earthly Immortal Realm, he would have to rely on his own comprehension...

Zhao Zheng acknowledged that he didn't have the ability to comprehend it.

He was content with his current martial arts realm.

With his eyes closed, he could clearly sense the true Qi in his Dantian, burning like a sea of fire.

Indeed, he had achieved "Inner Vision."

The current Zhao Zheng no longer needed to rely on specific techniques; every strike he made possessed over a hundred tons of destructive power.

A true monster in every sense of the word! If he were to fight Fire Cloud Evil God again, he could defeat him with a single strike.

"I still have almost ten thousand Spirit Energy points left, but I don't know how to use them," Zhao Zheng muttered as he looked at his attribute panel.

Other Extraordinary Beings were struggling with insufficient Spirit Energy points, but he was the only one with an abundance of them.

Currently, all the upgradeable aspects on his attribute panel were already maxed out.

The 9,995 Spirit Energy points had no immediate use for now.

He could only wait for the right martial arts technique to come along and then utilize them.

...

The next day.

Early morning.

Zhao Zheng went to the hotel's front desk, canceled his room reservation, and then left Shanghai with his luggage.

His next destination was Tianmen! Like Shanghai, Tianmen was a port city invaded by foreign powers, and the Japanese forces had a significant presence there, almost occupying the entire city.

Upon arriving in Tianmen, it took Zhao Zheng just three days to earn the title of "Tianmen's Number One" among his martial arts peers.

The previous holder of this title was Master Huo, a master of the Drunken Fist.

Master Huo had publicly admitted on multiple occasions that he was no match for Master Song (Zhao Zheng's alias).

Soon after, a mysterious "Night Walker" began to appear in Tianmen! This Night Walker remained unseen during the day, but at night, he would emerge and hunt down the enemy forces.

Within a few days, over a hundred Japanese soldiers had fallen to the Night Walker's hands.

These soldiers were not ordinary; they were high-ranking officials with significant power.

Most shockingly, an important Japanese general, despite being heavily guarded, was killed by the Night Walker! This general had committed numerous crimes and was a key figure in the invasion of Yannuo.

The news of his death spread like wildfire, causing a sensation across the land.

Countless patriots cheered and applauded the Night Walker's actions.

The Night Walker's reputation soared, and he was hailed as a great hero by the masses.

The Japanese, who had been arrogant in Tianmen, suddenly became meek and their bullying and intimidation in the city ceased, improving the overall atmosphere in Tianmen.

...

Ten days later.

On a train bound for Foshan.

Zhao Zheng, dressed in a suit, looked like a wealthy businessman returning from abroad.

Yes.

He was heading back to Foshan to find Song Haitang.

In her previous letter, Song Haitang had mentioned that she would come to him, but she hadn't left yet.

A few days ago, news had spread that the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was about to marry Song Haitang.

Zhao Zheng suspected that Song Haitang had encountered some trouble and couldn't get away.

Upon receiving this news, he didn't hesitate. He immediately boarded a train to Foshan.

Name: Zhao Shanhe (Zhao Zheng).

Age: 19.

Martial Arts: Dragon Roar Iron Shirt (Supreme Mastery), Iron Sand Palm (Supreme Mastery), Cloud Chasing Steps (Supreme Mastery), Ninefold Sun Divine Skill (Supreme Mastery), Eighteen Palm Dragon Subjugation (Supreme Mastery).

Current Realm: Spirit Refining Peak.

Current Martial Arts Points: 103,010.

Available Spirit Energy Points: 23,685.

These were Zhao Zheng's current attributes.

During his time in Tianmen, he effortlessly defeated various martial artists, earning a total of 27,380 Martial Arts Points.

This pushed his overall Martial Arts Points past the 100,000 mark.

...

Two days later.

The train finally arrived in Foshan.

As Zhao Zheng stepped off the train and entered the city, he received some news.

The Governor's wedding to the Hei Daughter of the Song Family was scheduled for two days later.

Furthermore, the wedding venue was to be held at the Song Family residence.

This was because the previous Governor's Mansion had been destroyed, and a new one was still under construction.

Upon receiving this information, Zhao Zheng wasted no time and headed straight for the Song Family.

The Song Family was well-known in the city, and he easily located their residence.

Indeed, the Song Family was incredibly wealthy.

Their mansion alone occupied a thousand acres, an enormous estate.

Zhao Zheng moved like a phantom, easily infiltrating the Song Family compound, even in broad daylight, without being detected.

After passing through numerous gardens, he finally reached the inner quarters and located Song Haitang's room.

Outside Song Haitang's room, several martial artists stood guard.

Most of them were Bright Essence Masters, and surprisingly, one was even a Qi Transformation Master, on par with Heaven Wrecker Earth Defiler.

This was likely the main reason Song Haitang was trapped here.

For Song Haitang, these martial artists' watchful eyes were like a net, leaving her with no options.

However, for Zhao Zheng, these guards were no different from the servants outside.

He effortlessly slipped past them and entered Song Haitang's room.

The guards outside were left wondering if they had just felt a gust of wind...

...

Inside the room, Song Yunxuan, the eldest Song miss, sat in a chair, her pretty face filled with worry.

There were only three days left until the end of the quest.

But her wedding date was just two days away.

She didn't know how to spend that one extra day.

Would she have to threaten suicide with a pair of scissors on her wedding night?

However, according to rumors, the Governor was a domineering figure, and several concubines had already died at his hands.

The chances of Song Haitang successfully delaying the wedding through threats seemed slim.
