Chapter 74 Promotion
in the following time.

Jiang Heng followed the Wu'an Bureau during the day to clear out the Hongmen forces in Yuquan District.

In the evening, use Dragon Scale Flame Ointment to assist in practicing the Candlelight Breathing Method.

Late at night, he would practice the "Three Styles of the Cruel Ape" for another three hours and would not go to bed until three or four in the morning.

With his current physical level, three to four hours of sleep a night is enough to completely restore his mental state.

……

Yuquan District, Cuizhu Mountain Resort.

Stone Buddha Pang Long and the remaining Red Sticks in Hongmen gathered in the underground hall again.

The hall was brightly lit and seemed no different from a few days ago.

However, the seven red sticks sitting in front of the square table have now become six.

There was a dead silence in the air.

Pang Long, who was sitting on the big chair in front, had an expressionless face. He glanced at the people below and then focused his attention on the two empty chairs.

After Liu Yuheng, even Zhao Shan, the Iron Ghost with the third level of physical body, died at the hands of the Wu'an Bureau.

Mo Sanniang could no longer contain her anger and said:
"That idiot Zhao Shan had already agreed to attack the second level of the physical body first and eliminate the active forces of the Wu'an Bureau first.

He was so smart that he tried to deal with the captain of the third level of physical body, but he was killed in the end. His death really did not deserve to be a pity."

The shadow Ding Yan, who had been silent all the time, finally couldn't help but speak at this moment, and his hoarse voice rang out in the hall.

"This idiot really deserves to die, but now that he's dead, what should we do?"

Originally, the top combat power of Hongmen and Wu'an Bureau in Yuquan District was evenly matched.

Hongmen has Shifo, who is at the peak of level three, and three red sticks with physical bodies at level three.

The Wu'an Bureau has Jiang Yunliang, who is at the peak of level three, and Huo Jiyong, Wang Siheng and Duan Zhenyu, three captains with physical bodies at level three.

But now, a third-level red stick has died in Hongmen, and the Yuquan District Wu'an Bureau has gained a captain of the fourth detachment with a third-level physical body.

As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, Hongmen's chances of victory have been greatly reduced...

Hearing Ding Yan's words, the eyes of several Red Sticks present flickered slightly.

Although they are all from Hongmen in Yuquan District, moving trees can bring life to the dead, and Hongmen's influence is not limited to Yuquan District.

If things were impossible, they could just leave Yuquan District and go to Hongmen branches in other areas. There was no need to stay in Yuquan District and be buried with Zhao Shan and Liu Yuheng.

Stone Buddha Pang Long suddenly stood up, and his cold and majestic voice echoed in the hall:
"Then I'd like to hear what you guys want to do?!"

The huge body instantly blocked out the light from the ceiling, and shadows spread out like mercury.

The loose martial arts uniform on his body moved without wind, and his astonishing power seemed to make the air present freeze.

Ding Yan's breathing paused slightly, and then he fell silent.

Pang Long stared at the Red Sticks present with his tiger eyes: "With a powerful enemy at the gate, you're thinking of running away?
Come, tell me, if there's any idiot trying to escape, I can send him down to see Zhao Shan right now!"

It doesn’t matter if others escape, it’s just a matter of changing the branch owner to become the boss.

If Pang Long, the director of the branch library, dared to escape, it would be equivalent to losing the entire Yuquan District branch, and Lin Zhennan would never let him go.

Besides, Pang Long has been rooted in Yuquan District for so many years and his life's foundation is here. How could he possibly escape like this!

Seeing that all the red sticks present kept silent, Pang Long nodded with satisfaction, and the muscles on his neck were stacked like layers of folds.

"You have been in Yuquan District for so many years, and when it was time to enjoy your life, Hongmen never treated you unfairly.

Now is the time to contribute, you have to contribute to me!"

After saying that, Pang Long waved his hand.

A subordinate came forward with a metal briefcase, placed it on the table and opened it, revealing seven potions neatly arranged inside.

The potion is dark red in color, and emits a dim halo under the light above.

Several Red Sticks present immediately had a bad premonition, and Mo Sanniang and Ding Yan, who recognized the potion, changed their expressions slightly.

This is... Bone Erosion Virus Potion?!

Pang Long said expressionlessly:
“This is a modified bone-eroding virus potion that can help you improve your strength to a higher level.

Those at the peak of level two can be promoted to pseudo level three, and those at the early stage of level three can be promoted to the middle stage. Of course, the price is the exhaustion of potential.

However, your strength has been stagnant for so many years, and there is probably no room for improvement in the future. I guess it doesn't matter if your potential is exhausted, right?"

After Pang Long finished speaking, his eyes slowly swept over the six red sticks present.

"Is there anyone who doesn't want a drink?"

Everyone was silent. The side effects of this bottle of medicine were definitely not as simple as Pang Long said.

But if he refused to take it, he would probably be killed on the spot by Pang Long.

As for joint resistance...all of them combined might not be a match for Pang Long.

Even if he could win, if he resisted Pang Long at this juncture, he would most likely be regarded as a traitor by Hongmen.

And the Wu'an Bureau will never let them go.

By then, there will probably be no place for them in the entire Nanjiang City...

After Pang Long finished his threats, his expression softened slightly and he said, "If you take this potion, we will definitely win this battle, and then the entire Yuquan District will be ours.

I promise that by then all of you here will still be Red Sticks of Yuquan District.

I will also ask the Headmaster to help you restore your potential."

After Pang Long finished speaking, he stopped talking and just stared coldly at everyone present, waiting for them to make a choice.

Mo Sanniang, Ding Yan, and the remaining Red Sticks sitting at the square table all knew that they had to make a decision now...

Shadow Ding Yan sighed in his heart.

Helplessly, he reached out and picked up a bottle of medicine from the suitcase, opened the seal, and slowly poured it into his mouth and drank it.

Seeing this, although Mo Sanniang still looked a little unwilling, she could only reach out and pick up a bottle of bone-eroding virus potion and swallow it.

The other red sticks looked at each other helplessly and took the potion.

Pang Long nodded with satisfaction: "This improved medicine will gradually take effect within ten days.

During this period, he asked his subordinates to lie low for a while to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Wu'an Bureau.

Wait until half a month later, and it will be time for us to strike back!"

"Yes." The red sticks in front of the square table responded in unison.

……

Time passed slowly over the next ten days.

The Wu'an Bureau of Yuquan District continued to advance the cleanup of the Hongmen forces, but these Hongmen disciples had anticipated this and continued to fight guerrilla warfare with the Wu'an Bureau, resulting in slow progress of the cleanup operation and the battle situation gradually fell into a stalemate.

The Hongmen's several third-level physical warriors also seemed to have vanished without a trace, never appearing before the Wu'an Bureau again...

Guangxin Street Garrison.

Jiang Heng stood in the center of the martial arts room, practicing the "Three Styles of the Cruel Ape" over and over again.

Although the Qi flow path of "Three Styles of the Crippled Ape" is very complicated, fortunately there are only three moves, which can be practiced quickly and repeatedly.

At this moment, Jiang Heng's force-generating posture seemed to be as standard as if it had been tempered a thousand times.

However, more than fifty Qi sensations throughout the body were flowing against the meridians, tearing apart cell tissues and even damaging the bone medulla.

Blood gradually seeped out of the surface of his skin, turning it dark red. The pain of being cut into pieces stimulated his nerves like a tide.

Until after practicing for three hours.

"call……"

Jiang Heng stopped his movements, trembling all over, and sat down on the ground without paying attention to the sweat marks on the ground.

Then, without hesitation, he silently chanted in his mind: "Erosion, transformation."

The gentle and mysterious power of disease merged into his body, quickly clearing the biomyosinosis lesions in his body, transforming and feeding back into physical strength, as well as various experience memories about "Three Styles of the Crippled Ape", which were integrated into Jiang Heng's mind and body.

The "Three Styles of the Crippled Ape", which had already been refined through thousands of trials and tribulations, was also constantly making up for its shortcomings and gradually approaching perfection under the fusion of this experience and memory.

After a few breaths, the force of the disease slowly dissipated.

The severe pain all over Jiang Heng's body disappeared without a trace, and his body returned to health.

He sat up, thought about it, and opened the panel.

-

[Name: Jiang Heng]
[Physical Level: 3.49 → 3.50]
[Techniques: Ninth set of Gengjin Breathing Method (Perfected); Candlelight Series·Level 61 Breathing Method (Perfected); Candlelight Series·Level Breathing Method (Perfected); Candlelight Series·Level Breathing Method (Proficiency %)]
[Martial Arts: Eight Vajra Styles (Perfected); Heart Tiger Posture (Perfected); Six White Ape Styles (Perfected); Three Remnant Ape Styles (Proficiency 91%)]
[Current status: mild inflammatory syndrome, mild bio-motor syndrome]
-

During the past half month, with the assistance of the Dragon Scale Flame Ointment and the feedback power brought by the reverse practice of "Three Styles of the Cruel Ape", his physical body level has increased from 3.17 to 3.50.

After entering the third level of physical body, although the increase in muscle strength gradually slows down, it is more about the overall growth of bioenergy in body cells.

However, every 0.01 level increase in physical level can still increase strength by 50-100 kilograms.

Therefore, Jiang Heng's basic strength has reached seven tons at this moment. If he uses the third-level blood burning and professional martial arts, it will be no problem to double it.

With the help of the Dragon Scale Flame Ointment, the proficiency of the third-level Candlelight Breathing Technique has increased to 61%, which means it has reached perfection.

At this moment, when he performed the third level of Burning Blood, the external flames were able to truly blend into the internal Qi, producing a certain burning effect.

If it were a normal warrior, he would definitely not dare to use his full strength to activate the burning power of the flame.

Because this burning sensation may cause damage to your own body while killing the enemy.

But Jiang Heng is different.

Starting from the first level breathing method of the Candlelight series, he absorbed large amounts of flaming breath to stimulate his body, and then transformed the symptoms through erosion.

At this time, his body's resistance to flames had reached an extremely high level.

This level of fire in his body could no longer cause him any harm.

He could unleash the full power of his flaming breath, radiating flames exceeding two thousand degrees Celsius from his body to burn his enemies, enough to melt even steel...

Jiang Heng thought in his heart, then lowered his eyes.

He looked at the "Three Styles of the Crippled Ape" in the [Martial Arts] section, and at the same time unfolded the [Bone Potential] item at the physical level.

[Martial Arts: Three Styles of the Crippled Ape (Proficiency 91%)]
[Bone potential development progress: 54%]
