Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 87 Almighty Warrior
With a flick of the knife tip, a layer of the cloth was torn apart.

A small piece of skin of some unknown beast fell out.

The animal skin was not very thick. It was folded twice and was about the size of a pancake when spread out.

Song Changming took a closer look and saw a layer of short fur on the back of the animal skin, which was yellow and white and felt soft and comfortable.

The other side is the highlight, with many complicated patterns carved by humans and many strange and unknown symbols.

Most of the patterns are strip-shaped, with strange symbols accounting for a minority.

Just looking at it like this gives me no clue what is engraved inside the animal skin, and what the patterns and symbols on it mean.

Combined with the irregular marks of tearing and cracking on the edge of the animal skin, it is not difficult to draw the conclusion.

This is the small half of the treasure map that people are actively fighting for.

Although the people from the Jinque Sect have always said that the treasure map was carved from a strange stone slab and was broken into three pieces.

But now it seems that this is just a lie made up by the Jinque Sect to cover up the truth.

The treasure map was made of animal skin and he always kept it with him.

He was smart and knew that even if he handed over the real treasure map, as an insider and without the greatest value, he would inevitably die.

It would be better to bet on Song Changming's desire for martial arts secrets and be willing to spare his life in exchange for the treasure map.

But unfortunately, he made the wrong bet.

No matter whether he said it or not, from the moment he provoked Song Changming, the result was that he was destined to have difficulty surviving today.

"Those people in the past seemed to like using animal skins as writing materials," Song Changming muttered to himself.

However, compared to fragile paper, animal skins, especially those of exotic animals, are more suitable for recording and sealing and are not easily damaged.

The treasure map in front of him is like this, and the two martial arts he obtained, the Bull Demon Power and the Soul-Breaking Sword, are also like this.

After putting away the animal skin, Song Changming turned around and looked outside the alley again. There was murderous intent in his eyes at the Dinghai Shui Gang members who were still wailing on the ground.

He is not a hesitant person. He will act decisively when necessary and try his best to avoid any future troubles!
So, when the patrol team saw the signal smoke and rushed over, they saw corpses all over the ground, with no one alive.

"Sir Song!" The one who came was a patrol team from the Yulin Street urban area.

When they saw Song Changming, they recognized him as the chief patrol officer at a glance.

Now Song Changming is not only well-known in the General Office, but also very famous in the patrol offices in major urban areas.

Unless you are a new patrol officer, almost everyone knows about the rising figure of Souji.

"These members of the Dinghai Shui Gang wanted to harm the fourth young lady of the Xiao family. Their crime is unforgivable. You must dispose of all these corpses."

Song Changming gave a brief explanation and left the rest of the finishing work to them.

The assassination of the fourth young lady of the Xiao family is no longer a trivial matter.

After all, his father is the current head of the county.

I believe that after this incident, the county magistrate will be more resolute in expelling the Dinghai Shui Gang.

Afterwards, Song Changming found Xiao Shuyun and the other two who had retreated far away, and sent them back to the county magistrate's mansion.

"Captain Song, I'm grateful for your help today." Xiao Shuyun turned around and said before entering the mansion.

"It's my duty." Song Changming bowed.

When Xiao Shuyun heard this, she frowned slightly and seemed to be talking to herself in a low voice.

“I don’t like this reason.”

Song Changming looked calm, as if he hadn't heard Xiao Shuyun's last murmur.

After returning to his residence, Song Changming took out the treasure map he had obtained and studied it carefully.

After still finding nothing, I could only put it away again.

Tonight he dealt with all the possible insiders, but that doesn't mean trouble won't come his way in the future.

He holds a treasure map in his hand, which is enough to attract all kinds of monsters, no matter how well he hides.

If it were a few years ago, he would not have been sure of competing with those extremely powerful martial artists for this treasure.

But now, after two years of hard training, his strength has improved significantly.

He wanted to see whether this treasure map was really related to the legendary martial arts secrets.

Now, he has practiced the Bull Demon Power Skill to the fifth level, and the Spirit Monkey Skill for cleansing the marrow and strengthening the tendons has also been practiced to the third level.

Not only that, in terms of body training, in the past two years, he has collected two complete sets of body training exercises through the Xiao family.

The Silverback Bear Skill is used to refine the flesh, and the Copperskin Rhino Horn Skill is used to refine the skin.

These two sets of body-building exercises are the same as the Spirit Monkey Skill. They can only be practiced to the sixth level at best, which is the limit.

The highest quality of the physical training skills circulated in the outside world is about this level.

Any body-building skill that can be practiced to the last nine levels is a treasure. They are either the unrevealed secrets of various martial arts sects, or the important and enduring inheritance of martial arts families.

This kind of superior body-refining skills with a history basically have no possibility of being passed on to outsiders.

If you want to learn it, don’t even think about it from those martial arts families.

For outsiders, the only way is to join these martial arts sects, make contributions year after year, win their trust, and finally be accepted as a disciple, so that they have the opportunity to practice the Nine Realms Body Refining Skills of the sect. But this is impossible for Song Changming, who already has an official status.

He is not a man of the martial arts world, and cannot join those martial arts sects.

Therefore, the body-refining skills he could find at present were indeed the best ones, and he was able to collect them because of his connections with the Xiao family.

Otherwise, even if you have money, it will be difficult to buy reliable body-building exercises on the market.

Rumor has it that the imperial arsenal contains many secret martial arts records collected from the martial arts world, including some superior body-building skills.

But now he lives in a remote county, just a small patrol chief of Donglai County, and he cannot reach the imperial armory.

Fortunately, the collected body-building skills are sufficient for now, so there is no need to rush for success.

Now his flesh-training Barbarian Bear Skill had reached the second stage, and as his skin-training Rhinoceros Horn Skill had been acquired not long ago, he had only practiced to the first stage.

He is still a long way from his goal of becoming a quadrilateral all-around superman.

But no matter what, he has already started on this most difficult path of body training and is on the right track.

All that's left is time.

As for martial arts, ever since the last wave of unexpected expansion, the past two years have been about making steady progress, and more about digesting the results of that wave of potential.

The experience points of light body skills gained in two years amounted to 2,500 points.

The experience points of Feiyan style sword skills were due to the relevant characteristics of a "sword practitioner", plus the perfect Soul-Breaking Sword as the foundation, plus the daily limited practice status bonus, a total of 7,300 experience points were gained in two years.

However, since the experience points required for breakthroughs in these two martial arts have been greatly increased due to the expansion, there has not been any qualitative breakthrough so far.

Especially the Flying Swallow style swordsmanship, the process of practicing it to perfection is really difficult.

If he did not have all these bonuses and was just an ordinary martial artist with some qualifications, I'm afraid he might not be able to achieve perfection even after practicing sword for twenty years!
It has to be said that the super-level martial arts that he defined himself are indeed much more difficult to practice than high-level martial arts.

In contrast, the experience value of his Soul-Breaking Sword has been maxed out again and cannot be upgraded any further.

Although it is just the name of a low-level martial art, it has the power of a real high-level martial art!

Apart from that, the two annual evaluations were not very high, and there were no reward options that caught his eye.

Therefore, he chose attribute points for both years.

In the first year, because he participated in the battle to eliminate bandits, a major event in Donglai County, and had a direct fight with the three dragons of Dongcang, his evaluation was slightly higher and he got two attribute points, which he added to his bone structure.

The second year was even more mediocre. No major events occurred, and there was no improvement or expansion in either martial arts training or official connections.

So the final reward only had a little attribute, so he simply added a spiritual attribute.

As a result, his spiritual attribute qualification reached eight points, and his root attribute qualification increased to sixteen points.

It was precisely because of the continuous improvement of his root attributes that his progress in body training seemed to be going more smoothly.

He could feel that his body refining efficiency was indeed increasing as his physique qualifications improved.

If not for this, he would not have been able to break through to the fifth level of bone forging in just two years.

The last column is his own life span. Since he no longer consumes a large amount of life span in the past two years, he can get a better annual reward.

Therefore, his life span column finally broke through the 40,000 mark.

Sometimes in his eyes, his life span is also an important asset that he can use, and now he is managing this financially quite well.

The next day, the County Magistrate's Office responded faster than expected in response to the attack on the Fourth Young Miss.

The county magistrate seemed to have finally found an opportunity and directly dispatched the army. Not only did he capture all the members of the Dinghai Shui Gang, he also confiscated all of their merchant ships.

There is no place for them to stand in the port anymore.

In this way, the sea transportation in the Donglai County area was completely under the control of this county magistrate.

This will inevitably add a lot of funds to the treasury every year.

The county magistrate achieved his goal. In addition to being happy, he also rewarded Song Changming for his meritorious service in protection.

Just like when he rescued Xiao Shuyun from Luo Haolin and rewarded him with a lot of money and rice.

In fact, Xiao Shuyun has been intending to support Song Changming in the past two years, to move into the county magistrate's mansion and work under the county magistrate.

However, Song Changming always claimed that he had too little experience and only wanted to stay in the General Security Bureau to hone himself.

Since Song Changming, the person involved, was unwilling to be promoted, Xiao Shuyun had no choice but to give up and temporarily did not help Song Changming's career.

Otherwise, Song Changming would have already joined the county governor's court.

Afterwards, the Dinghai Shui Gang retreated in disgrace, and the county magistrate stepped in to take over forcefully, which caused quite a stir in the underworld around Donglai County.

After all, this was the government entering the scene and forcibly intervening in the affairs of the underworld, destroying the jobs of many underworld people who made a living from water transportation.

For a time, many people felt resentful towards the county magistrate, believing that he had overstepped his bounds, was insatiable, and was unwilling to share even a sip of soup with his meat.

But the county magistrate does not seem to care about the public grievances. His focus in recent years has been on actively making money, as if he is preparing for something big.

During this process, no one was interested in the treasure map that Song Changming obtained.

Perhaps the clue has been lost, and currently no one knows the true whereabouts of this treasure map.

No one approached Song Changming about this.
