Infinite Fighting

With a thought, Zhang Ji conjured up some fighting crystals and fighting essences in the void.

That's the information on the fighting skills he now possesses.

Complete Iron Body Kung Fu crystal *1, Snake Fist crystal *1, Dragon Fist crystal *1.

Crane-shaped Fist Essence *3, Waterfall Essence *8, True Qi Nourishing Spirit Technique Essence *7, Tiger-shaped Fist Essence *1, Leopard-shaped Fist Essence *1, Fox Claw Skill Essence *1.

At this stage, he had just mastered the Dragon Form Fist and mastered three grandmaster-level martial arts, with his strength roughly at the fifth level of C-rank.

Is this level of strength impressive?

They are quite strong. In the current martial arts world of Dongji Country, they may not be the top two, but they can certainly be ranked in the top twenty.

But it is not enough, far from enough.

Time was of the essence. He remembered that there were less than five days left until December 5th, when the authorities would arrest Li Long and Yan Ruifeng on trumped-up charges.

Then Liu Hetong came to negotiate, demanding that they hand over all their assets in exchange for their safe departure.

It is impossible to completely preserve the assets of the Five Elements Sect. That would require a direct confrontation with the entire Eastern Pole Kingdom. Such a drastic alteration of spacetime information would cause excessively violent turmoil.

Zhang Ji pondered what he could do.

First, go with the flow, then rescue people, and do everything possible to get the higher-ups out of here.

Teachers, sect leader, elders, and the like.

After careful consideration, Zhang Ji prepared to take action.

It was the early hours of the morning, and he had just finished practicing martial arts, his body still feeling exhausted.

But for Zhang Ji, who was projected from the future, it was a minor issue.

With his eyes slightly closed, his physical strength began to recover rapidly, and his spiritual energy, primordial qi, and other vital energies quickly filled his entire body.

Boundless Energy!
This spacetime rule information transcends the timeline, much like the [Limit], which Zhang Ji activated at this moment.

In less than a second, Zhang Ji was back to full strength.

His gaze fell on a drone not far away, on which was attached one of the treasures he had used before: the Moonlight Cup.

Its function is to absorb moonlight and transform it into the essence of the moon, allowing Zhang Ji to quickly recover his energy and spirit.

But clearly, it's no longer of any use.

However, Zhang Ji still put it away.

Next, it's time to practice.

Zhang is likely more familiar with the secrets of the Five Elements Unity than even the founder of the Five Elements School.

He assumed a fighting stance, using the snake as sinew, the tiger as bone, the leopard as skin, the crane as spirit, and the dragon as god, with the god as the core, and drove the Qi into his meridians!
As Zhang Ji moved rapidly, his internal energy and spirit transformed quickly, causing changes in his physique.

Zhang Ji can improve even faster; [Dimensional Sublimation] will suffice.

However, the pressure brought about by direct intervention and indirect intervention is different.

His "Dimensional Sublimation" needs to be used in the right place. At this stage, using "Boundless Energy" to indirectly increase the training speed is sufficient.

As Zhang Ji practiced tirelessly, the sun rose, and he gained one of each of the five elemental essences within him.

Zhang Ji calculated that it would only take four days for him to master the Five Elements.

December 3rd.

In Li Long's courtyard, Gu Shuangshuang said to Li Long, who was looking at reports, "Senior Brother."

"Is there something you need?" Li Longtou asked without turning around.

Because of Zhang Ji's matter, the Five Elements Sect is now facing a lot of trouble, and its various industries have been restricted by the authorities.

Li Long is currently in a rather chaotic situation.

Gu Shuangshuang opened her mouth, intending to mention that she couldn't buy the tranquilizers she usually took, but seeing Li Long's condition, she didn't dare to continue.

She thought, "Anyway, if I eat the rest sparingly, it can last for ten days or half a month. I'll deal with it later."

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask what you'd like to eat for lunch so I can have the chef prepare it in advance," Gu Shuangshuang said.

"I'm fine with anything," Li Long replied casually. Then, as if he had thought of something, he said, "Zhang Ji hasn't left the house for three days and hasn't eaten anything. Send him five servings of roast duck rice so he doesn't have to worry. The sect will take care of everything."

Li Long's own experience is very similar to Zhang Ji's.

He was exiled to Shanli Island because his sect couldn't bear the pressure of killing the son of a councilor.

If the timing hadn't been right and things hadn't gone smoothly, he might have had to stay there for the rest of his life.

So he understood that feeling very well.

He hoped that Zhang Ji would not feel any psychological pressure.

The fault doesn't lie with them, but with those clueless fools.

"I understand," Gu Shuangshuang nodded.

Her gaze toward Li Long was filled with tenderness.

My senior is always like this; even when he is already very troubled, he still has the energy to care about the people around him.

She really wanted to do her part for her senior and show him some care.

Unfortunately, given her current condition, the doctor has said that she is unlikely to survive for more than two years. Before that, she will probably need to undergo alchemical surgery to replace some of her nerves and organs in order to live.

"Knock knock knock~!"

A knock sounded at the door, and Zhang Ji opened it, the steam rising from his body almost visible to the naked eye.

"Master Gu? What do you need me for?" Zhang Ji asked, looking at Gu Shuangshuang who was carrying a food box.

"My senior brother noticed you haven't left the house for so many days, so he asked me to bring you some food," Gu Shuangshuang said.

"Thank you for your trouble," Zhang Ji said, taking the food box.

“It’s alright,” Gu Shuangshuang said. “Wait!” Zhang Ji suddenly called out to Gu Shuangshuang, and then said, “I got some pills from the martial arts competition. Maybe they can help alleviate your addiction, Gu Zhenchuan. I’ll go get them for you.”

"No need"

Gu Shuangshuang tried to stop Zhang Ji, but Zhang Ji had already quickly entered the house.

Once inside, Zhang Ji reached out into the void, and in an instant, ripples spread across the void. Invisibly, a door to a lower dimension was pushed open by him.

Zhang Ji's energy was being consumed rapidly, and the timeline was being interfered with, which was reflected in his future self, but fortunately, he could withstand it.

Before long, a pure white pill, as white as jade, was manifested by Zhang Jisheng.

He put down the food box, took the pills, and turned to walk towards the door.

Gu Shuangshuang was still waiting there. Before she could even say anything polite, Zhang Ji had already handed her the pill and said, "It's said to have the function of nourishing the skin and preserving youth. I'm not seventeen yet, so it's useless to me. You can take it and use it, Gu Zhenchuan."

Of course, it doesn't have any beauty-enhancing or anti-aging effects. Zhang Ji said this only to make it more acceptable to Gu Shuangshuang.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuangshuang was both amused and exasperated.

"Then thank you," Gu Shuangshuang said with a smile as she accepted the pills.

"Okay, I'm going to eat," Zhang Ji said.

“Go ahead, and contact me again if you need more,” Gu Shuangshuang said.

Zhang Ji nodded and left.

Back inside, he opened the food box, which contained roast duck rice made with the finest ingredients from the kitchen, a total of five servings.

Zhang Ji picked up his chopsticks and began to savor the food, a smile suddenly appearing on his lips.

the other side.

After delivering the food to Zhang Ji, Gu Shuangshuang replied to Li Long and then returned to her room.

Her addiction flared up again. Trembling, she took out a medicine bottle from the cabinet, poured out two pills, thought for a moment, then poured one back in and swallowed only one.

After the medication was administered, she felt a little better after a few breaths.

But the addiction didn't actually disappear; it just blocked her senses, numbing her feelings.

Because of the long-term use of this medicine, her skills have not improved for a long time.

When fighting, you can't sense the airflow, and you can't control the details of how you exert force.

She collapsed to the ground, leaning against the wall, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know how many more times she would have to endure this unbearable pain.

After a while, she composed herself and forced herself to get up. Looking at herself in the mirror on the dressing table in front of her, she saw a pale face, disheveled hair, and a blank expression. She felt like a walking corpse, completely lacking the youth and beauty of a normal woman.

How could someone like her be worthy of her senior brother?
She chuckled self-deprecatingly and reached out to touch the pill Zhang Ji had given her.

Perhaps still clinging to hope, in her struggle to save herself from drowning, she swallowed the pill without hesitation.

Almost the instant she swallowed the pill, she felt a strange change.

The numbness in my body is disappearing, the uncontrollable addiction is also dissipating, my cheeks are becoming rosy, and my blood and energy are increasing.

She was in disbelief, tears welled up in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"

December 4th.

Early in the morning, Gu Shuangshuang brought food to Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji was speechless and said, "Master Gu, it's just a pill, there's no need for this. You even brought me a midnight snack last night, I still need to practice!"

"Practicing martial arts doesn't interfere with eating, does it?" Gu Shuangshuang said with a smile.

Now that her serious illness is over, she has become much more cheerful.

She regained the vivacity of a young girl.

"I'm mainly afraid the teacher will misunderstand," Zhang Ji said.

“What could he possibly misunderstand?” Gu Shuangshuang ruffled Zhang Ji’s hair and said, “You’re only sixteen, you’re not grown up yet!”

Zhang Ji's lips twitched slightly, unsure of what to say.

I was patted on the head by my "master's wife"—what a strange feeling!

"Stop touching it, you'll stunt your growth." Zhang Ji turned his head away and said, "You should leave now that you've brought the food, the teacher is still hungry!"

"Let him go hungry a little longer. He only cares about practicing his skills and sect matters, and he doesn't pay any attention to me at all," Gu Shuangshuang said with a hint of complaint.

Despite saying that, she had already turned and left, preparing to bring food to Li Long.

Zhang Ji watched her departing figure, then smiled and shook his head.

Even the most cheerful person can feel deeply bitter and resentful when seriously ill.

This is Gu Shuangshuang's true self now.

Without thinking too much, Zhang Ji returned to the courtyard, ate his food, and then continued practicing his martial arts.

He has a lot to do, and he needs to be strong to protect so many people.

Time flew by, and soon it was December 5th.

As always, the enforcement team arrived at the Five Elements Gate.

"Please cooperate with the investigation!"

The arrest warrant listed the names of Li Long, Yan Ruifeng, and many elders and disciples.

The top echelons of the Five Elements Sect were all captured.

This event foreshadowed the beginning of the Five Elements Sect's demise. (End of Chapter)
