From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a high-level martial arts demon god!

Chapter 20 Vajra Eight Styles
Wu'an Bureau canteen.

Jiang Heng ate rice with chopsticks in his right hand, and browsed the various basic martial arts in the internal mall of Wu'an Bureau with his mobile phone in his left hand.

Each martial art has a general introduction. The lowest price is two thousand merit points, while the highest is five thousand merit points.

Soon, Jiang Heng stopped and focused his attention on one of the martial arts on the screen.

[Martial Arts Name: Vajra Eight Styles]
[Introduction: Fierce and ruthless, extremely powerful, and highly effective in developing superficial muscle potential, this is a superior, fundamental martial art. However, long-term practice can easily lead to bio-muscle syndrome, so please purchase with caution.]
[Purchase conditions: Corporal rank and above, personal use only]
[Price: 4500 Merit Points]
Jiang Heng had noticed this martial art in the mall before.

On the one hand, this is because this martial art is very powerful and can efficiently develop the potential of the shallow physical body.

In fact, the basic martial arts a hundred years ago were called "skin refining martial arts."

The main goal of its practice is to temper the membrane and refine the internal strength in the membrane.

However, as time went by, these traditional terms also had new names.

What was originally called "tempering the membrane" is now called "developing the potential of the shallow physical body", and the tempering progress is also divided into detailed percentages.

Even if one practices basic martial arts to perfection, one can only tap into 30% of the shallow potential of the physical body.

However, the "Vajra Eight Styles" can be developed to 60%, which is doubled!
Correspondingly, the power unleashed when one reaches the perfect state of cultivation can be doubled.

This is enough to show the advantages of superior basic martial arts such as "Vajra Eight Styles".

Secondly, this martial art is extremely dangerous to practice and can easily lead to illness.

Most martial artists have to face a disease in the process of practicing martial arts - "biomuscular syndrome".

This is a unique injury that occurs when practicing martial arts.

Once mistakes are made in practice, or if the practice is excessive, it is easy to cause this kind of muscle neuron damage.

Normally speaking, superior basic martial arts will avoid the occurrence of this disease as much as possible.

However, it seems that the "Eight Vajra Forms" was not sufficiently considered in this regard because it was created too early.

Therefore, the probability of suffering from "biomuscular syndrome" is much higher than other martial arts.

This just meets Jiang Heng's needs.

Without much hesitation, he quickly decided to purchase this martial art.

"Place your order!"

Then a line of text popped up on the screen.

[Already purchased. This martial art is not stored in the Yuquan District Wu'an Bureau. Please go to the Nanjiang City Wu'an General Bureau to learn it within three days.]
In the Wu'an Bureau's arsenal in Yuquan District, except for a series of breathing techniques, other martial arts resources are only stored in the Wu'an General Bureau in the city center.

Therefore, Jiang Heng needs to go to the city center to learn this martial art.

The merit points on the phone screen in front of him were deducted by 4,500 in the blink of an eye, leaving only 500 points.

Jiang Heng suddenly felt a little heartbroken.

"Spending money like water... In just a short time, 4,500 merit points and 90,000 yuan are gone..."

He shook his head, put away his phone, and quickly finished the large portion of braised chicken and rice on the table.

Then he got up and left Wu'an Bureau. Instead of taking the subway, he took a taxi to the city center.

Yuquan District is located on the border of Nanjiang City. If you want to take the subway to the city center, it will probably take four or five hours.

It's already late at night after going back and forth, so there's no need to save this little money.

The basic salary of Wu'an Bureau members is 8,000 yuan per month. If they have made outstanding contributions, in addition to the merit points, they will also receive a considerable additional bonus, averaging more than 10,000 yuan per month.

This income level already exceeds that of most people in Nanjiang City.

……

Two hours later, the taxi stopped in front of the Wu'an General Administration in the city center.

Jiang Heng got out of the car and subconsciously looked around.

The high-rise buildings around are stacked like a Ferris wheel, reaching into the sky. The towering glass curtain walls emit dazzling light under the refraction of sunlight.

There are a lot of cars and people, neon lights are flashing, and billboards are colorful. It is completely different from the Yuquan District.

"This is what a metropolis will look like two hundred years from now..."

Jiang Heng sighed silently in his heart, then immediately retracted his gaze and stepped into the Wu'an General Administration.

The Wu'an General Administration in the city center does not look like an ordinary government department, but rather an area surrounded by a group of buildings.

Jiang Heng walked to the front desk, showed his ID, and asked, "Hello, I am a member of the Wu'an Bureau of Yuquan District. I came to the General Administration to learn martial arts. Where should I go next?"

"Okay, please follow me."

After checking Jiang Heng's ID, the front desk staff took him through a metal passage to the door of a laboratory.

"Professor Li, a member of the Wu'an team is here to receive martial arts training."

"Well, let him in."

After hearing this, Jiang Heng walked into the gate.

The laboratory is very spacious, with three culture cabins placed in the middle and a desk and computer on the left.

A tall old man with a white beard and in his fifties or sixties was sitting behind the desk in a white coat.

Jiang Heng glanced around and immediately caught sight of the name tag on the old man's chest - Li Minglang.

He was slightly stunned and immediately remembered who this was.

Jiang Heng had previously looked through the biographies of people recorded on the official website of the Wu'an Bureau, and Li Minglang was one of the legends among them.

He was originally a professor at the Nanjiang City Martial Arts Research Institute. At the age of 40, he was transferred to the Wu'an General Bureau as deputy director.

He was ruthless and had made countless contributions. During his tenure, he arrested and killed countless criminals, which was the most in the Nanjiang Wuan Bureau in nearly 50 years. He disappeared after his retirement ten years ago.

Jiang Heng originally thought that this big boss had returned home to retire, but he didn't expect that he was still staying in the Wu'an General Administration and was in charge of the arrangements for martial arts.

Li Minglang, who was sitting behind his desk, noticed Jiang Heng's daze and smiled, "Do you recognize me?"

Jiang Heng nodded seriously: "I've seen it on the Wu'an Bureau's official website. It's very impressive."

"Haha, that was over ten years ago. I never thought anyone would still watch this kind of thing these days."

Li Minglang was a little happy, then asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

"Jiang Heng."

Li Minglang nodded, grabbed the mouse, and began to check the computer screen in front of him: "Jiang Heng, right? Let me see what kind of martial arts you want to learn..."

Then he paused and looked up in surprise.

"You want to learn the Eight Forms of Vajra?"

Jiang Heng nodded.

Li Minglang slapped his thigh and said, "Good boy, you're brave! I like people like you who are not afraid of death!"

Jiang Heng was slightly stunned.

He thought that Deputy Director Li would dissuade him from practicing such a risky method, just like Bai Yong did before.

I didn't expect him to have this attitude...

Li Minglang snorted coldly and shook his head:
"Today's warriors are always afraid of this and that. They act as if they are dying when they get a minor illness.

With such an attitude towards cultivation, how could he possibly break through to the fifth level of the physical body before the age of thirty-five!
In recent years, the number of people in Nanjiang City who have broken through to the fifth level of the physical body has been decreasing. This is the reason!"

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Heng with considerable satisfaction.

"Only by holding on to the attitude of forging ahead courageously and dying if you don't succeed, will you have the chance to break through to the fifth level of the physical body!"

Jiang Heng was speechless and didn't know how to respond.

Li Minglang asked again, "Which breathing method are you practicing?"

"Candlelight Breathing."

Li Minglang's face showed a hint of understanding, and he became more certain of his opinion of Jiang Heng. He smiled and said:

"I guessed right, you really have some of the spirit of an old warrior from the Third War period."

"Jiuwu?" Jiang Heng was a little confused. He had never heard of this word before.

Li Minglang explained: "This is the name given to those martial arts pioneers over a hundred years ago.

In that era, the path of martial arts was still unclear, and the old martial arts predecessors crossed the river by feeling the stones, exploring and researching many breathing methods and martial arts.

The Candlelight Breathing Technique you practiced, and the Vajra Eight Styles you are about to learn, are both products of ancient martial arts from a hundred years ago."
