Chapter 344: The Ninth Rank Force Warrior
Chapter 344: The Ninth Rank Force Warrior
The next morning, as the acupoints within his body were broken through, a surge of Essence Energy flooded into his system.
Jiang Cheng felt his strength escalate to a whole new level.
Ninth Rank!
A Ninth Rank Force Warrior's physical defense had reached an incredibly exaggerated level. Even if struck in a vital spot by a 30mm autocannon, they would remain unscathed. Only a hit from a 40mm anti-tank shell or a rocket could cause injury or disintegrate their body.
However, this also brought up another issue—speed.
The initial velocity of pistol, rifle, and machine gun bullets was quite high, typically ranging from 400 to 900 meters per second, and sniper rifle bullets could even approach 1 kilometer per second. But the initial velocity of rockets was much slower, with most only reaching 100 to 200 meters per second.
This speed was hard for ordinary people to react to, but for a Ninth Rank Force Warrior with a maximum burst speed of 80 meters per second, it was almost possible to dodge if they spotted the attack.
Of course, the same couldn't be said for spiritual energy weapons of the same grade.
Aside from physical defense and speed, a Ninth Rank Force Warrior's strength also reached 50 tons. A direct punch to the face was akin to being hit by a 40mm anti-tank shell. Even a light tank with 30 to 40mm of armor thickness could be pierced through at close range.
Jiang Cheng carefully sensed the power within his body at this moment.
His Shadowless Blade Technique, which he had practiced more than the Shadowless Heart Scripture, had reached a level of proficiency, meaning he could now fully utilize his abilities.
"If my spiritual energy doesn't improve, at this rate, it'll take over ten days to break through to the Tenth Rank. In a month, I'll master the Shadowless Heart Scripture and become a Grandmaster."
Jiang Cheng's eyes shone with anticipation.
After becoming a Grandmaster, his first task would be to eradicate the Dawn Society.
And also, the Gale Martial Arts Academy.
As well as the MacKen Club.
Of these three, the MacKen Club was undoubtedly the strongest and had the most powerful backing. Even if he became a Grandmaster, it might not be enough.
But just like with the Gale Martial Arts Academy, some things had to be done.
Two or three months ago, his strength had been insufficient, far inferior to that of the Academy's master. So, he could only cut off their support. He knew that this wouldn't change anything.
There would still be many people ruined by them, left with broken homes and shattered lives.
But now, things were different.
He had the strength to make a difference.
In fact, a more secure approach would be to wait until he broke through to the Tenth Rank or even became a Grandmaster. An even safer option would be to break through to the Grandmaster level and then purchase the best weapons, equipment, and treasures, ensuring absolute success.
But on second thought, there was no real need for that.
Firstly, that guy Xie Tian was only an Eighth Rank Force Warrior. Even if he had broken through to the Ninth Rank during this time, he wouldn't have fully adapted to his new strength yet, whereas Jiang Cheng had.
Secondly, even if Xie Tian anticipated an attack, he wouldn't expect a Ninth Rank Force Warrior to suddenly strike.
Thirdly, Jiang Cheng had the Sky Net Umbrella, which, when fully activated, could withstand attacks from even a Tenth Rank Force Warrior for a while, giving him enough time to escape.
Additionally, there was one more thing.
In just over a month, many more unfortunate people might be pushed to their limits by the Dawn Society. By acting sooner, Jiang Cheng could save some of them.
"Since it's like this, I'll make my move tonight.
(End of Chapter)Jiang Cheng stood up.
After more than a month of alchemy, it was time to stretch his muscles and spar with someone.
Another day of alchemy.
Even Jiang Cheng felt a sense of boredom.
He glanced at the panel, at the experience bar for his alchemy skill, and realized it would take at least half a month to reach perfection.
He shook his head.
Escorted by his guards, Jiang Cheng walked all the way to his doorstep.
"Master Jiang, we'll leave it here for today. Take care of yourself."
The man smiled and said to Jiang Cheng.
"Thank you, Brother Gu," Jiang Cheng replied hastily.
"It's nothing, it's the least I can do," the man waved his hand.
He had been slightly displeased with Gu Changkong's appointment, as he was already responsible for the safety of a Sixth Rank Alchemist, and now he had to protect another, a newcomer, as well.
But now, he was more than willing to do so.
Of course, he had originally been responsible for two people, but now there was only Jiang Cheng left.
As he watched the other party leave, Jiang Cheng looked at the house right before him, but instead of going in, he quietly made his way outside.
Stepping out of the central district, his figure flickered and disappeared into the night.
...
North City District.
Late at night.
The streets were sparsely populated with vehicles and pedestrians.
Even the Gale Martial Arts Academy was mostly deserted at this hour, with only the lights on in the first-floor hall, and a few scattered lights on the upper floors.
On the fourth floor, a meeting room.
Several people were gathered, including a middle-aged man and some young men and women.
This middle-aged man was none other than the master of the Gale Martial Arts Academy, Xie Tian.
At this moment, his face was gloomy as he listened to his disciples reporting on the loan situation for the month.
The more he listened, the darker his expression became.
The three or four disciples reporting were also nervous and scared.
Because this month's income had dropped by more than thirty percent compared to last month! Finally, after the report was finished, the meeting room fell into a deathly silence.
"Is this the result you give me?"
After a moment, Xie Tian's gaze swept across the crowd, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
"Master, I, we really tried our best," the man speaking said bitterly.
To achieve the goal set by Xie Tian, these few disciples had even put aside their cultivation and searched everywhere for targets and loan collections.
If not for this, the monthly income would have dropped by more than fifty percent, not just thirty.
"Yes, Master," one of the women cautiously added, "Because, because of that incident, we had to change the company's name, and start everything from scratch, so this month's income is indeed not good. But please rest assured, Master, next month's income will increase, and even surpass, surpass the income of Second Brother and the others."
By the end of her sentence, the woman's voice was barely audible.
But everyone in the room heard her clearly and couldn't help but feel anxious for her.
Ever since that incident, they dared not mention the Eldest Brother and Second Brother openly, let alone in front of their master.
Because even now, the culprit of that incident had not been found.
Hearing the words 'Second Brother', Xie Tian's heart suddenly filled with rage.
But soon, an even greater sense of helplessness extinguished the flames of anger.
Yes, he knew the culprit, but what could he do? He couldn't afford to offend that terrifying person.
Unless he was willing to give up everything and go into hiding with his family.
