Chapter 246: Attribute Points, One Punch to Defeat Yuan Hua!

Chapter 246: Attribute Points, One Punch to Defeat Yuan Hua!



Within the underground passage.

Jiang Ning observed the changes on his status panel.

He couldn't help but ponder.

Soon after, his gaze slightly intensified, focusing on the only Authority.

【Flesh Regeneration (0% Deficiency)】: The deficient Authority, possessing this Authority, allows for the rapid recovery of all physical injuries in this realm.

Then, his gaze shifted to the Divinity section.

【Divinity】: 1

As his eyes landed on it, he instantly understood the usage of Divinity.

It was to accelerate the convergence of Authorities, restoring them until they reached a state of perfection.

After this realization, his thoughts moved.

The Divinity on the panel instantly disappeared.

Subsequently, the Authority section also underwent a change.

【Authority】: Flesh Regeneration (33% Deficiency)



Seeing the panel's transformation again, he instantly understood.

With three points of Divinity, the Flesh Regeneration Authority could be enhanced, progressing from deficiency to the next stage.

After a thorough understanding, Jiang Ning closed the panel.

As for the effect of this Authority, now was not the appropriate time to test it.

The situation above ground had already become troublesome.

If he didn't go up soon, it would truly cause trouble for Cheng Ran!

Above ground.

In the center of the courtyard.

"What audacity!" Yuan Hua smiled.

Then, his gaze intensified: "But with your status, you repeatedly obstruct my path. Have you considered the consequences?"

As his words fell, his eyes flashed with intense light.

Just then.

Jiang Ning's voice echoed from within the dilapidated building.

"Do you understand the consequences of taking my spoils?"

As the words reached Yuan Hua's ears, his gaze shifted from Cheng Ran to the ruined building.

Instantly.

He saw Jiang Ning walk out of the building, followed by Xie Xiaojiu and Feng Jiuge.

"So it's Commander Jiang!" Yuan Hua's smile.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning's gaze swept across the crowd, pausing briefly on Ruan Hongmei.

Regarding Ruan Hongmei, he hadn't seen her in a long time.

Previously, Ruan Hongmei had shown her intentions to him and joined his command.

But later, he had become too detached, unwilling to get involved in many matters.

Additionally, He Jinyun and others had been killing ordinary civilians with the Blood and Flesh God's aura, and he hadn't participated.

However, as it involved significant benefits, Ruan Hongmei had left without notice at that time, joining the command of another deputy commander.

Jiang Ning didn't want to pay much attention to this.

Subsequently, his gaze lingered briefly on Ruan Hongmei before swiftly moving past her and landing on Yuan Hua.

"Do you want a share of my spoils?" Jiang Ning asked indifferently.

"How is that sharing spoils?" Yuan Hua chuckled, "This Worship God Sect stronghold has been on my radar for a long time. It's just that you happened to reach it first today."

"Shameless!" Xie Xiaojiu, standing behind Jiang Ning, exclaimed.

"Insolence! You deserve a beating!" Yuan Hua's eyes flashed with anger, and his body suddenly moved.

Just then.

Jiang Ning took a step forward, standing in front of Xie Xiaojiu, and threw a punch.

Boom—

The punch landed squarely on Yuan Hua's fist.

Rip—

Yuan Hua's right sleeve instantly shredded into flying pieces.

Thud, thud, thud—

His entire body retreated continuously.

With each step, the bricks beneath his feet shattered into splinters.

"Commander!"

"Commander!"

Several cries of surprise came from behind him.

He retreated over a dozen steps before finally stopping with the help of Ruan Hongmei and another captain.

At this moment.

Yuan Hua's eyes, as he looked at Jiang Ning, were filled with shock.

He had expected Jiang Ning to be strong, but not to this extent.

This punch made him feel like the heavens were collapsing, an unstoppable force.

With Jiang Ning's punch, he felt like he would be beaten to death in just three or five punches.

"Commander, are you alright?"

Ruan Hongmei supported Yuan Hua and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hua acted as if he hadn't heard a word.

He stared deeply at Jiang Ning, then turned and left.

He struggled to say, "I... I'm fine."

He was afraid that if he spoke another word, the surging blood in his throat would be uncontrollable.

At the same time.

Xie Xiaojiu and Feng Jiuge's team members witnessed this scene, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Commander Jiang is so strong!"

"Yes! So strong!!"

"Too strong!!!"

"Is this the true martial genius?"

". . ."

On the other side.

The crowd that had followed Yuan Hua hung their heads low, their initial high spirits now gone.

Yuan Hua was defeated by Jiang Ning's single punch, not daring to utter a harsh word.

How could they not recognize reality?

The strength of the two was not on the same level.

Now, considering that they were in the wrong, how dare they say more.

For a moment, the entire scene fell silent.

After a few more breaths.

Yuan Hua walked to the courtyard gate, just stepping over the threshold.

Pff—

A mouthful of fresh blood suddenly gushed out.

His vision went dark, and he immediately fell straight back.

"Sir!"

"Sir!"

"Commander Yuan!"

". . ."

At the entrance of the courtyard, the crowd following Yuan Hua exclaimed in shock.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning's lips curled into a faint smile.

"Water and Fire True Essence, it's indeed quite useful!"

Yuan Hua couldn't hold on any longer, and this was naturally due to the Water and Fire True Essence he had left in Yuan Hua's body.

Yuan Hua spat out blood, and this was already the case after he had held back.

Otherwise, with the terror of Water and Fire True Essence.

The second limit-breaking supreme martial art, the eruption of two extreme forces, was enough to tear Yuan Hua's body apart instantly, causing his immediate death.

If he had really done that, even he would have faced extreme trouble.

Harming a colleague is a grave offense.

Without an exceptional background, one cannot escape such a crime.

However, even though he had already held back earlier, after this battle, Yuan Hua would not have an easy time either.

With the eruption of Water and Fire True Essence, Yuan Hua's severe internal injuries were inevitable.

This was also his warning to Yuan Hua, a minor punishment with a major warning.

A moment later.

With Ruan Hongmei and the others hastily supporting him, Yuan Hua was also taken away by them.

Before leaving, Ruan Hongmei turned back to glance at Jiang Ning, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes.

...

The dust settled.

Feng Jiuge said, "Sir, I'll head back to the Inspection Office now."

"Mm-hmm!" Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Xie Xiaojiu also spoke, "Sir, I'll go to the county government office and bring over Head Merchant Xu Zhengnan."

Jiang Ning said, "Go and return quickly!"

"Yes, sir!"

After the two took their leave, their figures disappeared from Jiang Ning's sight in an instant.

It was only at this moment that Jiang Ning finally relaxed.

He looked at the six bodies of Worshipping God Sect members on the ground, and his heart couldn't help but do a quick calculation.

A Sixth Rank Martial Artist's body was worth fifty thousand Contribution Points.

A Seventh Rank Martial Artist's body was worth five thousand Contribution Points.

The four Eighth Rank Martial Artists' bodies added up to two thousand Contribution Points.

In total, it was fifty-seven thousand Contribution Points.

Additionally, there was the Divine Statue of the Flesh and Blood God in the underground passage.

This was another fifty thousand Contribution Points.

All together, it amounted to one hundred and seven thousand Contribution Points.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but be amazed.

One hundred and seven thousand Contribution Points, even if exchanged at a one-to-one rate for silver ingots, was still one hundred and seven thousand ingots.

This number alone was extremely impressive.

It was well known that Cheng Ran was said to have a fortune of tens of thousands, with thousands of acres of fertile land and several taverns. Even if you counted all the assets in his family, it was barely two to three thousand taels of silver.

There was also Senior Brother Zhou Xing, whose family, the Zhous, dealt in medicinal ingredient wholesale, and their assets were not insignificant.

But even with all their wealth, it was only around ten thousand taels of silver.

This was the accumulation of three generations of the Zhou family.

Yet, with just this one battle, Jiang Ning's gains surpassed the accumulation of three generations of the Zhou family.

"As expected, the stronger one's strength, the easier it is to make money!"

Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel deeply impressed.

...

At the Inspection Office.

"What?" Ye Qiu's hand trembled, "You're saying Commander Jiang found the Worshipping God Sect's Divine Statue?"

"Yes!" Feng Jiuge nodded affirmatively.

"You're not lying to me?" Ye Qiu glanced at Feng Jiuge again.

Feng Jiuge shook her head, "I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Let's go!" Ye Qiu stood up immediately, "Come with me to see the Lord of the Worshipping God Sect!"

"Yes, sir!" Feng Jiuge bowed in response.

...

At the county government office.

"Niece, is this Commander Jiang's idea?" Xu Zhengnan asked.

Xie Xiaojiu nodded, "It's exactly his idea!"

Xu Zhengnan nodded, "I understand!"

He stood up immediately, "Niece, please wait outside for a moment while I gather the men!"

"Thank you, sir!" Xie Xiaojiu bowed and headed out of the county government office.

As soon as Xie Xiaojiu left, the person beside Xu Zhengnan spoke up, "Head of Law Enforcement, the Black Tiger Gang and the Liu Family pay a significant amount of tribute silver every year. If we take action against them, that money will be gone!"

"Moreover, Jiang Ning is just a wet-behind-the-ears young man. Why should the Head of Law Enforcement listen to his orders?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengnan shook his head, "You don't understand, that Commander Jiang is no ordinary person! I can't afford to offend the other deputy commanders, but they are older and have less potential, so they aren't as terrifying!"

"However, Jiang Ning is different. He's so young and progressing so rapidly; his future potential is immense!"

"No one knows how far he can go. With his talent, it's not impossible for him to become a Grand Master in the future!"

"A Grand Master can live for two forties!"

"A Grand Master?"

"That person heard Xu Zhengnan's words and was immediately surprised, 'The Chief Constable has such high regard for him?'"

"Mm-hmm!" Xu Zhengnan nodded, continuing, "In Luo Shui County, you can't underestimate anyone, especially Commander Jiang!"

Then, he continued, "Go gather some men. First, go and meet Commander Jiang, and at the same time, issue the order to seal the city."

"After meeting with Commander Jiang, you'll act according to the order."

"Yes, Chief Constable!" The person immediately took action.

...

In the Outer City, at the northeastern corner, Liu Zhixiang, with his goat-like beard, saw Jiang Ning and couldn't help but sigh and regret.

When he saw Jiang Ning, he couldn't help but think back to when he was ordered to search for talented disciples at Canglang Martial Arts Hall for investment.

If he could enter the Inspection Bureau and rely on the favor of helping in times of need, it would be equivalent to establishing a connection in advance.

This was a low-investment, high-return venture.

The only thing required for such an investment was a keen eye for talent.

If he could discover an extremely talented genius, and that genius rose to prominence in the future, this investment would be life-changing and could elevate one's status.

He had this opportunity, but he missed it twice.

The first time, he overlooked Jiang Ning completely.

The second time, through Cheng Ran's introduction, he had another chance to invest in Jiang Ning.

But he still didn't seize it, missing the only opportunity.

Later, when he saw Jiang Ning winning the position of Deputy Commander, he deeply regretted it.

Especially today, seeing Jiang Ning in person, he felt even more regretful.

If he had seized the opportunity back then, he might have already risen to prominence, relying on Jiang Ning's success. How could he still be a small manager in the Four Harmony Commerce Guild?

"I know you!" Jiang Ning said indifferently.

"I'm honored that you still remember me, sir!" Liu Zhixiang replied respectfully.

Jiang Ning looked at Liu Zhixiang and suddenly smiled, "Instead of the Liu family, it's a small guild like the Four Harmony Commerce Guild that's involved."

"Sir..." Liu Zhixiang looked at Jiang Ning and saw his smile, and his legs suddenly felt weak.

"Arrest him first!" Jiang Ning waved his hand.

"Yes, sir!" A team member immediately responded.

Seeing this, Liu Zhixiang's legs went soft, "Sir, I have nothing to do with what happened here! I've never done anything illegal."

Before he could finish his sentence, someone grabbed his throat and cut him off.

Jiang Ning glanced at him, and a trace of pity rose in his heart.

However, when his peripheral vision caught the sight of the children huddled in the corner, their bodies maimed, a surge of nameless anger rose within him.

If we're talking about innocence, who is more innocent than these children?

As a subsidiary of the Liu family, how could the Four Harmony Commerce Guild be clean?

He closed his eyes and decided not to think further.

Then, he looked at his character panel again.

【Divinity】: 0

【Authority】: Flesh Regeneration (33.01% Deficiency)



He noticed that the progress percentage for Flesh Regeneration had slightly increased compared to just a moment ago.

It had changed from 33% to 33.01%.

There was a slight increase in progress.

"Could this progress increase as time passes?"

"No rush! Let's observe for a while longer and see!"

He spoke to himself in his mind.

Then, he thought about the divine statue within the golden box, which he had kept in his mind.

Compared to the statue of the Flesh and Blood God in the underground passage, the size of the statue in the golden box was undoubtedly much smaller.

However, its power was far superior to the statue in the passage.

He clearly remembered that when he first opened the golden box, he almost fell into ruin.

The echoing mutterings were far more powerful than the statue in the passage.

"I wonder if the statue of the Flesh and Blood God in the golden box also has divinity?"

"Can I absorb the divinity from the statue?"

Jiang Ning pondered these questions in his mind.

After a moment of thought, he decided to put this idea aside for now.

This place wasn't suitable for experimentation.

After handling this matter, he would find a suitable place to attempt it.

Having made his decision, Jiang Ning focused his mind and began circulating the Water and Fire True Essence within his body, quietly waiting for Xie Xiaojiu and Feng Jiuge's arrival.

Time passed.

The onlookers became quiet, observing Jiang Ning's actions.

Liu Zhixiang didn't dare to make a sound, knowing full well that Jiang Ning's status meant he could kill him without any hesitation.

The Liu family, facing Jiang Ning at this moment, could only bow their heads in submission, not daring to provoke him.

Suddenly, footsteps approached from a distance.

"Someone's coming!" a voice whispered.

The next day's update might be a bit late, possibly around 2-3 AM. Don't wait up tonight, it's Sunday.

By the way, please support with votes!
