From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 23 Breakthrough
On the edge of Shunanfang, at the entrance of the street.

Captain Xing thought about it and said to Jiang Chen, "You don't have to worry about Yu Yanghua attacking you. He doesn't dare to make a big fuss about this. Just focus on your cultivation."

Jiang Chen nodded.

He also understood that if anything happened to him, Captain Xing would report it.

With a thorough investigation by the City Guards, Qi Cang's trafficking of beggars from South Street will surely be exposed.

By then, not to mention the captain of the police Yu Yanghua, even the yamen officials of the Shuiqingfang government office above him would probably be in trouble.

At this time, an officer could not help but ask: "But sir, why didn't you report today's incident to the City Guard? If you did, then Yu Yanghua..."

Captain Xing shook his head: "There are more people from our Dragon and Tiger Sect than just the City Guards."

Jiang Chen heard this and seemed to be thinking about something.

The City Guard Department directly controls the 108 government offices in the outer city, which are staffed by a mixed crowd, including disciples from all three sects.

If it were reported, the people who came down to investigate would naturally not just check Shuiqingfang.

There will definitely be people from the Liuguang Sect who will come to check out the situation in Shunanfang.

There must be a lot of dirty things going on in Shuiqingfang, but Shunanfang Yamen is not completely clean either.

The monthly salary of a yamen runner was only five hundred coins, which was enough for normal living, but it was naturally not enough for spiritual practice.

As a result, the police officers secretly accepting money became the "unspoken rule" of the entire outer city government.

Although everyone understands this kind of thing, it cannot withstand scrutiny.

For this reason, "reporting to the City Guard" has become a cruel tactic that kills one thousand enemies but injures eight hundred of your own people, and it should not be used lightly unless it is absolutely necessary.

After hearing what Captain Xing said, the officers present understood the situation and stopped talking about the matter.

After Xing Fei finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chen again and nodded.

"You are quite good. It seems that Lord Du did not hire the wrong person. You have only practiced for such a short time, but you can kill a veteran with great bronze skin."

When Captain Xing said this, many of the officers present were stunned.

They had just arrived and probably knew that Jiang Chen had killed a few thieves who had come to attack him.

But I don’t know the specific strength of the corpses on the ground.

And from what Captain Xing said,
The corpse on the ground just now was Bronze Skin Dacheng? !

The officers couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen with surprise on their faces.

Especially the old officers who had wasted several years in Bronze Skin Great Success, their eyes showed a bit of astonishment.

Is this new guy so strong?

Xing Fei ignored the surprise of the servants around him and said calmly to Jiang Chen: "Continue to practice hard, and you will have a chance to enter the inner gate."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then he cupped his hands and said, "Jiang Chen understands."

A registered disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect of the Outer City Yamen who reaches the second level of Wood Meat before the age of twenty-five can become an outer disciple.

If one reaches the fourth level of Iron Bones before the age of thirty-five, he can become an inner sect disciple, leave the government office, and head to the inner sect of the Dragon and Tiger Sect in the inner city.

The inner city far surpasses the outer city in terms of both living environment and martial arts resources, and there are countless martial arts geniuses there.

Therefore, entering the inner gate can be said to be the highest goal of young disciples of the Outer City Dragon and Tiger Sect.

But less than one in a hundred people actually have this ability and opportunity...

Hearing Captain Xing's comments that Jiang Chen had a chance to enter the inner gate, the looks of the officers around him became more complicated.

After saying this, Captain Xing turned to the officers and said, "Alright, if you have nothing else to do, go back."

After saying that, he left first.

Jiang Chen and a dozen officers were left behind.

"Forehead……"

Feeling the sour and complicated gazes from his colleagues, Jiang Chen felt a little embarrassed.

So he just clasped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your help today. I will host you all for a drink at Chunfeng Tower tomorrow."

Even though there was no fight today and the others just helped to occupy the stage, Jiang Chen couldn't just not express anything.

These old officers are quite powerful, have complex relationships in the outer city, and have many sources of information.

Ever since Jiang Chen learned from Kong Ye last time that there was a three-patterned demon hiding in the city, he realized that information channels are also very important.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happened in the city and I was completely unaware of it, I would not even know how I died.

Therefore, it would definitely be a good idea to establish good relationships with these well-informed old police officers.

"Okay! This is what you said."

"I will definitely slaughter you tomorrow."

A dozen officers each spoke with a smile.

The atmosphere on the street suddenly became lively.

Of course, these officers didn't need this meal, nor did they really want to rip Jiang Chen off for a meal. No one was stupid, although after learning about Jiang Chen's talent and strength, these officers were more or less envious and jealous.

But they naturally would not think of suppressing or targeting Jiang Chen because of this emotion.

A martial arts genius who has the opportunity to enter the inner gate in the future will sooner or later grow into a strong thigh!

Now, of course, we should make friends with him while he is still weak and has not yet fully grown.

If they still want to suppress Jiang Chen, that would be pure stupidity. This group of experienced old foxes would never do such a thing.

After talking for a while, the night gradually darkened.

A dozen or so officers dispersed, and Jiang Chen returned to his own courtyard to rest.

……

At noon the next day, Jiang Chen did not break his promise.

He invited many colleagues in Shun'anfang, as well as Captain Xing, to Chunfeng Tower for a drink.

After some wine and meat, the relationship became much more familiar.

As a "genius who may enter the inner gate in the future", Jiang Chen even felt like a star among the servants.

Jiang Chen also understood that all this was based on his own strength.

It is enough to handle interpersonal relationships properly, and the focus should still be on spiritual practice.

Returning to the courtyard, Jiang Chen counted his current belongings.

During this period of practice, he spent nearly two taels of the seven taels of silver he earned from selling the wolf demon's corpse.

Adding the thirty taels of silver he had just earned, his net worth skyrocketed to thirty-six taels.

This amount of money is enough for him to use for a long time without lacking resources for cultivation.

……

in the bedroom.

I drank some tea to sober up.

Jiang Chen was about to start practicing, so he opened the panel and took a look.

-

……

[Bronze Skin: Great Mastery (645/1000)]

[Subduing Tiger Staff Technique: Great Mastery (210/1000)]

-

[Subduing Tiger Staff Technique] is still about two months away from a breakthrough.

However, there are still about ten days left before the [Bronze Skin] breakthrough is reached.

"Next, let's consider improving our realm first. We should improve our strength as much as we can as soon as possible."

Jiang Chen pondered in his heart.

Although Captain Xing believed that Yu Yanghua would not attack him.

But no one can say for sure about this kind of thing.

Moreover, there are more and more monsters in the outer city, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger.

We must go all out...

He pondered in his mind, took out a large bag of medicinal materials he had just bought from Ping'an Pharmacy, and began to prepare the "Green Jade Skin Tempering Liquid".

[Pharmaceutical Experience +1]

……

Ten days later, early morning.

In the bedroom of the courtyard.

Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, opened the panel and took a look.

[Bronze Skin: Great Mastery (986/1000)]

"call……"

Jiang Chen looked at the numbers on the panel that were so close to him and slowly exhaled.

The time for breakthrough is today.

He took off his clothes, picked up the prepared "Jade Skin Forging Liquid", and applied it to his body little by little.

Prepare to break through to [Bronze Skin] perfection.
