One Dao Fruit a day, starting with the Dragon Taming Technique.

Shuocheng Chunfeng Tower.

"Brother Qian, it's been a long time indeed."

Liu Yunfei greeted Qian Ping politely as he entered.

Nan Yiyi, who was standing to the side, also stood up respectfully and raised her wine glass, saying, "Greetings, Brother Qian."

Qian Ping was quite polite to Liu Yunfei, smiling as he looked at Nan Yiyi, "And this is?"

"My fiancée is from the family of the Southern General of the Outer Army."

Qian Ping immediately understood, smiled at Nan Yiyi, and then toasted Liu Yunfei.

As they spoke, Liu Yunfei explained his purpose: "Yiyi has a best friend named Du Zhao, who is a very good girl. Unfortunately, she entrusted herself to the wrong person. This time, Yiyi came to Shuocheng and asked me to help persuade her. I was thinking of asking Brother Qian to help me act as a middleman and set up a platform for me to fight against that person so that I can help Yiyi's friend end that ill-fated relationship."

Upon hearing this, Qian Ping's expression turned strange.

The ancients often said that it is better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage.

Liu Yunfei traveled a long way only to ruin someone else's marriage; truly...

It leaves one speechless.

How could a man like General Liu Feng have such a nephew?

"That's easy to discuss, but Brother Liu, do you know that person's name?"

Liu Yunfei smiled and looked at Nan Yiyi.

"Xu Guang seems to be a team leader now."

Qian Ping's expression immediately became interesting, his features slightly distorted. "What did you say your name was?"

"Xu Guang! That should be the name." Nan Yiyi thought Qian Yue hadn't heard her clearly.

Upon receiving confirmation, Qian Ping fell silent.

He looked at Liu Yunfei with a strange expression. Did he know Xu Guang's strength? His father had recently asked him to cultivate a good relationship with Xu Guang and Du Changwei, but he never expected that Liu Yunfei would try to break up Xu Guang and Du Zhao's marriage.

Just as he was thinking about how to answer Liu Yunfei's question, he heard a commotion outside.

"Mr. Xu, you're mistaken. The food at Chunfenglou is quite good. You've been working too hard since you took office, so you should enjoy yourself."

Several men dressed as merchants politely led a young man upstairs, their tone respectful yet ingratiating.

Xu Guang didn't presume to be arrogant and said with a smile, "You're too kind, gentlemen. I'm still young. Thank you for your help a few days ago."

"Mr. Xu, you're too kind. You're a young talent, and there are so many people who want to help you that they could stretch from the east side of the city to the west. We should thank you for giving us face."

For a moment, the atmosphere was joyful and harmonious.

Since taking office, Xu Guang has restrained police officers from abusing their power, which has been quite considerate of these merchants.

Just then, the door to a private room next door was suddenly pushed open.

"Are you Xu Guang?"

Xu Guang was taken aback and looked at the newcomer. He instinctively reached for his waist; in these unstable times, he always carried a sword and wore inner armor. "And you are?"

Liu Yunfei looked Xu Guang up and down, noticing his dark blue, tight-sleeved robe with a golden tiger head on the shoulder. "Were you a member of the imperial guards before?"

Seeing Xu Guang nod, Liu Yunfei immediately had a guess in his mind.

It seems he's a nobody who couldn't make it in the military and voluntarily transferred to the constables to make money.

Based on Nan Yiyi's words, Du Zhao's family background was good, so Xu Guang's eagerness to make money is understandable.

"My name is Liu Yunfei. Someone asked me to tell you that some people are not up to your level. If you know what's good for you, then break off the engagement yourself."

Xu Guang was confused, but when Liu Yunfei mentioned the engagement, his face immediately darkened. He only had an engagement with Du Zhao, and he assumed that some playboy had seen Du Zhao at the cloth shop and was coming to cause trouble for him.

After all, Liu Yunfei's clothes and appearance clearly indicated that he was a person of status.

only…

"Wu Qi, this man is lawless and threatened the chief constable in public. What is his crime?"

Wu Qi glanced at Liu Yunfei with a complicated expression, and was about to speak.

Then another person came out of the private room. Qian Ping looked at Xu Guang with a smile and said, "Brother Xu, it's all a misunderstanding. We're all on the same side."

Xu Guang's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Is that idiot who's spouting nonsense with Qian Ping?

Was it arranged by Qian Yue?

"What do you mean, 'one of our own'? Brother Qian, are you confused? Who does he think he is, to even compare himself to us?"

Qian Ping's expression immediately changed. He glanced at Liu Yunfei, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xu Guang, saying, "Brother Xu, it's truly a misunderstanding today. I'll come to explain tomorrow. You go ahead with your business."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Liu Yunfei, and walked downstairs as fast as he could.

Xu Guang chuckled and looked at Liu Yunfei with amusement, "Looks like you don't have any impressive credentials to speak of."

Seeing Qian Ping's attitude, Liu Yunfei figured out something and was about to speak.

Xu Guang suddenly took a step forward, his figure flashed, and with a leap, he delivered a straight punch to Liu Yunfei's chest.

This is a fist technique that complements the Iron Body Kung Fu. Although it is not particularly sophisticated, its advantage lies in its extremely fast speed, which is unexpected and leaves no warning.

Liu Yunfei roared, "You dare to attack me? Do you know who I am?!"

boom!

Liu Yunfei raised his elbow to parry Xu Guang's punch.

However, the force of Xu Guang's punch was astonishing. Even though Liu Yunfei had mobilized all his energy, he was still knocked off balance by the punch.

Xu Guang let out a soft exclamation, somewhat surprised. The mere internal force had almost blocked his punch. Of course, this was also because he hadn't used the Dragon Taming Technique.

However, with such combat power, this person can be considered quite a character.

He became interested and raised his Twelve-Story Strength to Level 3, which is equivalent to the Dark Strength level. He has not yet tried to suppress the Qi of an internal martial arts master.

He immediately withdrew his strength, but instead mobilized all the energy in his body, letting it circulate continuously within him.

Surprised by Xu Guang's strength, Liu Yunfei was not to be outdone and threw a punch. His fist technique was exquisite. He practiced the Four Directions Force of the Four Directions Sect of Shuofang Prefecture, which emphasizes that the force comes from the four directions. In each move, there are four swirling points, making it unpredictable.

The two men, without any attempt at concealment, exchanged blows in the corridor on the second floor of Chunfeng Tower.

Just by looking at their playing styles, it's clear that the two have taken completely different paths.

Xu Guangquan emphasizes momentum and is straightforward, while Liu Yunfei focuses on variation, with seemingly endless changes in each move.

In a short time, Xu Guang took about seven or eight punches, while Liu Yunfei only took one.

However, their conditions were completely different; Liu Yunfei was pale, while Xu Guang's sleeves were only slightly dirty.

Liu Yunfei was secretly shocked. He had clearly put all his strength into every punch, and his powerful internal energy was enough to injure Xu Guang's internal organs, but Xu Guang seemed to be unharmed. Even with his inner armor, he was still more than that.

"Is that all?"

Xu Guang's slightly disappointed voice came through. He was quite satisfied with the Twelve-Story Strength. When Liu Yunfei's hidden force struck him, the Jade Tower Qi that permeated his flesh and skin easily assimilated and decomposed it, as if a mud ox had entered the sea.

This technique is extraordinary. Even without external training, he can be invincible at the level of internal strength with just this Twelve-Story Strength.

It was worth all the effort he put into cultivating this skill.

He lost interest in continuing to play with Liu Yunfei and threw a punch that was like a thunderbolt.

Liu Yunfei screamed and rolled away, crashing through the thick fence behind him. He felt as if his internal organs were dislocated, and he couldn't even speak.

He was utterly horrified. Just what was this person's strength?! He had seen experts at the Transformation Realm before at the Four Directions Sect, but even a Transformation Realm master couldn't possibly knock him down like this with a single punch.

"Wu Qi, capture this man."

"don't want!!"

A woman's voice came from the private room. Xu Guang glanced at her, but he didn't recognize Nan Yiyi. He just glanced at her and then ignored her.

Nan Yiyi was still pleading, but since Xu Guang didn't speak, Wu Qi naturally wouldn't give Nan Yiyi any face.

……

Inside the private room.

The little incident from earlier was forgotten by everyone.

The shopkeepers were shocked when they saw Xu Guang make his move. They were all experienced businessmen, but they had never seen such skill from Xu Guang in all these years. He punched a person and broke the fence. The power of that punch was far beyond what even a master of internal energy could match. Xu Guang was so young and already had such strength. His future was unimaginable.

However, the stronger Xu Guang became, the happier they were.

Inviting Xu Guang over for dinner today is, in fact, to ask for his help again.

"Everyone says that President Xu is a martial arts genius, and seeing him today, I can confirm that the reputation is well-deserved."

Amidst the flattery of the shopkeepers, Xu Guang sensed that they had something on their minds. Without beating around the bush, he spoke directly, saying, "I am busy with official duties, and you gentlemen have helped me out of my urgent predicament. Please feel free to speak your mind."

The group exchanged glances. The leader, Wang Hong, the manager of Gaosheng Grain Shop on East Street, gritted his teeth and said softly.

"I can't hide it from Mr. Xu's discerning eye; I do indeed have something I'd like to ask for his help with."

He then carefully recounted the events.

It turns out that it was Wang Hong's son who was infatuated with a courtesan and spent a fortune on her. The money itself wasn't the problem; the real issue was that she eventually disappeared.

Xu Guang was surprised. Wang Hong was considered a wealthy man in Shuocheng. His son had disappeared in a brothel. Why would he need to ask him for help?

Hearing Xu Guang's question, Wang Hong smiled wryly and said, "I invited a master of internal energy from outside the city to the Cuiyun Tower, but... Mr. Bai returned severely injured, saying... there were no living people in the Cuiyun Tower, only... demons!"

Xu Guang's eyes widened slightly, and a faint light shone from them.

demon!?

"Is that really true!?"
