Chapter 348 The purest, most powerful physical body is the eternal truth.
In the early hours of the morning, the rainy night was completely silent.

The taillights of a taxi left two long red lines on the slippery road before disappearing around the corner.

In the Haitian Garden residential community, rows of high-rise residential buildings stand like silent giants in the dark night.

There are only a few scattered windows here, still letting in light from those who haven't slept all night.

Click.

After a slight click of the lock, a figure entered the room.

Two wet footprints were left on the entryway floor.

The lights were not turned on, but the outline of a tall and robust man was vaguely visible.

In the darkness, the figure took off his clothes, which were soaked by the rain and stained with blood, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them into the trash can in the corner.

Then, he walked barefoot to the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of rushing water came from inside.

After half an hour.

The frosted glass door was pulled open, and billowing steam rushed out.

The figure, completely naked, stepped out.

He grabbed a towel and rubbed his hair haphazardly.

Then, standing in front of the washbasin, I turned on the vanity light with a "click".

The soft light instantly outlined a powerful and majestic body.

Fang Cheng put down the towel and calmly examined himself in the mirror.

His head was completely bald, and his facial features were sharply defined.

His muscular body, sculpted like a statue, reflected the light like water.

Then, Fang Cheng raised his arms and slowly bent them in front of him, striking a classic bodybuilding pose.

His biceps bulged instantly, standing tall like mountain peaks, and the veins on his arms bulged out like a coiled, angry dragon.

Looking at the strong man in the mirror, Fang Cheng's lips curled into a slight smile.

He then leaned closer to the mirror and stared intently at his scalp.

Beneath that smooth skin, a fine layer of bluish stubble had already emerged.

It even feels a bit prickly to the touch.

At this rate of growth, it shouldn't be a problem for my hair to regain its flowing beauty in another month or two.

Fang Cheng smiled with satisfaction.

The only pity is.

In order to finish the battle quickly, he used the Flame Breathing Technique. The released true energy not only burned away his clothes, but also completely turned his wig to ashes.

Looks like I'll have to buy a new one tomorrow.

After showering and drying himself, Fang Cheng put on slippers and took a bathrobe from the hanger.

This was something his mother specially bought for him when she came over the day before yesterday.

The soft fabric clung to my skin, carrying a clean scent of sunshine and soap.

Fang Cheng took a deep breath and stretched out his limbs comfortably.

A series of fine, cracking sounds suddenly emanated from his bones.

I stepped out of the bathroom and into the living room.

The few pieces of furniture, in the dim light, looked somewhat desolate.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, an endless curtain of rain blurred the city's sparse lights into a swaying halo.

It was as if he was the only person left in the whole world.

Fang Cheng, however, thoroughly enjoyed this tranquility and solitude.

He stared for a moment, then turned and walked toward the kitchen.

The huge horizontal freezer was pulled open, and wisps of white cold air rose up.

A whole box of braised beef and a box of roasted chicken legs were taken out from the pile of food.

Fang Cheng returned to the living room, sat down in a chair, and, enjoying the rainy view outside the window, began to devour his late-night snack.

I got into a fight in the middle of the night and it took a lot of energy, so I definitely need to replenish my energy.

Despite being trapped in the scorpion's water prison, he swallowed a lot of yellow mucus rich in protein.

However, most of those nutrients were directly refined into true qi by the body and stored in the dantian.

Therefore, the feeling of hunger in the stomach persists.

As Fang Cheng chewed on his meat, he reviewed tonight's actions in his mind.

It was no coincidence that he was able to pinpoint the exact location of the scorpion's crime.

Back when the Jiangbei Police Station was reviewing the "Rainy Night Butcher" case files through Abang's connections.

Fang Cheng keenly noticed that those seemingly random crime scenes actually followed a certain pattern.

The killer seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, committing a crime almost every month.

Furthermore, he would change his activity area after every three hunts.

According to the case file, only one case had occurred in the eastern part of Jiangbei before.

Therefore, the scorpion's next hunt will most likely take place here again.

Looking across the entire eastern part of Jiangbei, only Yingchun Road has a large number of nightclubs and bars, and there is no shortage of fashionable women returning home late at night, making it convenient for him to choose a satisfactory target.

After Fang Cheng locked onto the area, he tracked it all the way there.

They happened to run into the special search team, who had also set a trap to lure and capture the scorpion.

Fang Cheng, hiding in the shadows, observed silently and recognized Cheng Leyi at a glance.

The woman with whom he had a special entanglement in the past has had her identity reversed tonight.

They have gone from being hunters to becoming prey coveted by others.

Seeing that she and her companions were powerless against the perverted sex fiend, Fang Cheng chose to reveal himself, cleanly and efficiently eliminating the target and completing the kill mission.

He did not leave immediately afterward.

Instead, they hid in the shadows and overheard the conversations between the special investigation team members.

Even Xu Fei's speculation about the Poison Scorpion's strength level came to his ears.

Fang Cheng also did not believe that Poison Scorpion had reached S-level.

Because in his eyes, this so-called "domain" was nothing more than an illusion that could be punctured at any moment.

Based on the intelligence provided by Chen Chen and my own actual combat experience, I can draw a conclusion.

Scorpion is highly skilled in using poison and possesses the special ability to manipulate water.

While trapping Cheng Leyi, he manipulated the rain to form a dense curtain of rain that blocked out the outside world's view.

Then, through the medium of rain, hallucinogenic poisons that can interfere with the senses are released silently, thus creating the illusion of a closed space.

Furthermore, in this special rainy environment, the scorpion can obtain a continuous flow of water to replenish its energy.

But an illusion is still an illusion.

As long as one has a strong physique and powerful enough mental strength, one can see through the flaws in the situation instantly.

Given Fang Cheng's current mental state, he would naturally not be fooled by such a petty trick.

However, this guy is quite clever, as he managed to come up with this unique hunting method.

No wonder he became one of the two top executives of the Noah Organization's Eastern Capital Branch.

He committed the crimes for many years without anyone discovering his true identity, let alone arresting him.

If he hadn't died by his own hand tonight, given time, this person might have actually been promoted to S-rank.

After swallowing the last bite of chicken leg meat, Fang Cheng threw the scraps and plastic lunchbox into the trash can.

He wiped his mouth with a napkin and let out a soft sigh.

It's not advisable to eat too much before bed; just a light meal is enough.

The rain outside the window showed no sign of stopping; the cold raindrops kept pattering against the glass, making a monotonous and continuous sound.

"Domain capabilities..."

Looking out at the pitch-black night, Fang Cheng murmured to himself.

The scene of the previous battle and Xu Fei's words flashed through his mind again.

A sense of longing for a true S-class ability user couldn't help but arise in my heart.

The legendary Minister Luo from the Noah Organization must possess this kind of peculiar power, right?
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly.

A pale blue screen quietly appeared in my field of vision.

Boxing Experience +30

Boxing lv3 (81/1000)

[Sanda Experience +15]

【Sanda Lv3 (37/1000)】

[Muay Thai Experience +15]

Muay Thai Level 2 (243/500)

[Jiu-Jitsu Experience +10]

【Jiu-Jitsu Lv2 (321/500)】

………………

In tonight's fight, Scorpion used his unique liquid body to absorb most of the impact of punches and kicks.

It did create some trouble for myself. But precisely because of this, I gained a lot of experience points in several fighting skills.

In particular, the first time he unleashed his ultimate technique, "Death Tornado," combined with the explosive power of his fiery true energy, his power was truly astonishing.

Not only did it completely destroy the opponent's true form, it also instantly cleared the rain from a block of streets.

It can be said that it was no longer simply martial arts skills.

Fang Cheng's gaze swept over the skill bars, and a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

As these skills are gradually upgraded, reaching the master level or even higher.

Do I also have the opportunity to master special abilities in a similar "field"?
Once the idea appeared, it grew wildly like weeds.

After staring at the panel for a long time, Fang Cheng finally smiled and shook his head, banishing all illusions.

The pale blue screen then disappeared.

He walked to the window and gazed at the midnight rain.

The phone screen lit up, showing the time as 1:29 AM.

"Time to sleep, I have to get up early to exercise tomorrow..."

Fang Cheng said softly.

For me, the numbers on the panel are a symbol of power, the confidence that I can crush everything.

The so-called "domain" is nothing more than a certain manifestation of power.

Only the purest, most powerful physical body is the eternal truth.

Therefore, if you want to climb to the top of this world and trample all your enemies under your feet, you must never slack off on physical training.

....................................

The next day, early morning.

The sky outside the window remained overcast, and the lingering rain continued to fall, though much lighter than last night.

Thick clouds still covered the sky.

The entire city seemed to have been washed clean, with the distant building outlines clear and austere, reflecting the leaden-gray light of the sky.

Inside the spacious training room, a faint smell of sweat filled the air.

Fang Cheng was shirtless, gripping a fixed horizontal bar with one arm, his entire body suspended in mid-air.

A barbell plate weighing a total of 500 pounds was firmly secured to his ankle with a leather belt.

The heavy iron blocks made a crisp clanging sound as he swayed.

Fang Cheng brought his legs together and slowly and with great control lifted them upwards.

When the core muscles of the waist and abdomen suddenly tighten, the angular abdominal muscles instantly harden like an iron plate.

Every inch of elevation is accompanied by extreme tension in the muscle fibers and bulging of the veins on the arms.

The moment his toes touched the horizontal bar, he paused for a second, then slowly lowered his legs down at the same pace.

He took a short rest after the training session ended.

Immediately afterwards, a tight strap, filled with iron blocks and weighing a total of 200 pounds, was tied around his body.

Then, he braced himself on one palm and stood upside down like a javelin.

The muscles of the supporting arm are instantly mobilized, forming an indestructible mechanical structure from the palm to the shoulder.

He started doing one-arm handstand push-ups, and each time he sank down or pushed up, he unleashed terrifying power.

At the same time, beads of sweat slid down his forehead, dripped down his chin, and fell onto the floor with a soft "plop" sound.

Time passed as the sky outside the window gradually brightened.

"call--"

Having finally completed all the planned training content, Fang Cheng let out a sigh of relief.

After the weight was removed, all the muscles in my body relaxed completely.

The pale blue screen reappeared before my eyes.

Several notifications indicating skill experience increases flashed by one after another.

Fang Cheng glanced at it and nodded slightly.

The training results remain consistently strong and impressive.

Then, my gaze fell on the two skills whose progress bars were about to reach the top.

[Leg Raise Experience +16]

[Leg Raise Lv2 (439/500)]

[Handstand Push-up Experience +17]

[Handstand Support Lv2 (418/500)]

With a few more days of intense morning training, I should be able to successfully break through to the Grandmaster level in both skills.

Each upgrade brings a real boost to combat power.

Fang Cheng felt gratified and walked to the French windows, gazing at the gray, hazy scene outside.

The sea and sky in the distance merge into one.

At the end of the beach, the white lighthouse stands alone on the cliff, like a silent sentinel.

Fang Cheng stared intently, suddenly remembering the informant he had planted on the other side of the city.

It's time to inform Xiaosa and have him handle the aftermath.

....................................

Meanwhile, in an old, dilapidated house in an urban village.

Xiao Sa was sitting at the dining table, slurping down his white porridge.

On the table was a dish of pickled vegetables and a steaming basket of meat buns.

"Ah Ren, eat slowly."

Li Guifen, sitting opposite, listened intently, a kind smile on her face:
"Why didn't you go to work at the construction site today? You even spent money to buy meat buns, they're so expensive. If you want some, just tell Mom, and Mom will go to the market to buy meat and make them for you."

"Mom, don't worry, you can eat."

He casually picked up a steamed bun and mumbled indistinctly:
"Didn't I tell you? I'm working for a big boss now, running errands for him. It's much more promising than working on a construction site."

"I'll make sure you eat meat buns every day from now on. Also, once I've earned enough money, I'll take you to get your eyes treated."

Li Guifen's smile faded slightly, replaced by worry, and she muttered:

"What kind of boss is he? Hopefully he's up to no good..."

"Mom, how could this be..."

He replied with dissatisfaction, wanting to explain.

Just then, his voice stopped abruptly, and the hand holding the bowl of porridge trembled violently, almost spilling it all over the table.

"what happened?"

Li Guifen immediately noticed her son's unusual condition and asked with concern, "Are you choking? Quickly drink some porridge to soothe yourself."

"it's okay no problem."

Xiao Sa quickly covered up his mistake, gulped down a large mouthful of porridge, then stood up and said somewhat flusteredly:
"Mom, I...I need to go to the restroom first..."

After saying that, he quickly went into the inner room and closed the door behind him.

"President, I'm here!"

He responded with a sense of composure and respect in his heart.

A steady voice resounded directly in his mind:
“I have killed the scorpion. You can tell Chen Chen this news now.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sa was suddenly jolted.

Less than two days have passed since the contract agreement was reached.

The president is incredibly efficient!

"When you contact him, you can be a little arrogant."

Fang Cheng's voice continued:
“Tell him he must settle the remaining balance within a week. Otherwise, he can wait to collect his own corpse…”

"Yes, Chairman, I understand."

The mental link was severed, and Xiaosa stood there, a surge of excitement rising in his chest, making him tremble with excitement.

Although he had no idea who that high-ranking member of the Noah organization was.

But someone who can instill fear in someone like Chen Chen must be an extraordinary figure!

Such a powerful figure could be killed at the chairman's whim, as easily as killing a chicken or slaughtering a dog!

Just how powerful is the organization I've joined?

Xiao Sa felt full of energy, clenched his fists, and made a silent vow.

I must perform well and strive to become a formal member of the organization as soon as possible, so as to completely change my unfortunate fate of the past half-life.

He opened the door, returned to the main room, and said to his mother:
"Mom, I'm going out to make a phone call."

"What's with that urgent call? Let's eat first."

"It's very important!"

He casually grabbed another bun and took a bite.
"Oh right, I won't be back for lunch. The boss gave me some work to do, and I have to get it done right away!"

After saying that, he rushed out of the house without looking back.

Li Guifen shook her head.

"This child has been acting strangely these past few days... But it's good that he's so ambitious now..."

Thinking of this, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
