The Martial Saint, starting with daily intelligence.

So, are there any weapons suitable for Zhong Ming?

It's not that there's none at all.

For example, giant axes, giant hammers, and giant swords, and they must be made of pure metal, with each one weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Even so, it only applies to the present moment.

Zhong Ming's physical strength was increasing every day, and as time went by, the weapons that were originally usable soon became unusable.

If he had a mysterious weapon, Zhong Ming might consider learning to wield that weapon.

The problem is that even the lowest-grade Yellow-rank Xuan weapon is not something Zhong Ming is qualified to possess.

Most Qi Refining experts only use ordinary weapons.

Only a few exceptionally talented Qi Refining martial artists are qualified to possess Xuanbing (mysterious weapons), or they may be powerful individuals at the Refining Spirit Realm or above.

Therefore, Zhong Ming completely gave up the idea of ​​learning weaponry.

Let's focus on practicing our martial arts skills.

To be honest, if Zhong Ming chooses to cultivate weapons, it would be a waste of his excellent physical qualities.

Weapons are derivatives of the physical body. If Zhong Ming wants to fully utilize the advantages of his physical body, he still needs to rely on his fist and foot skills.

Among martial arts, grappling techniques are the most insidious and vicious, capable of injuring bones and muscles at best, and crippling a person's martial arts skills at worst.

Those who practice boxing are afraid of those who practice leg techniques; those who practice leg techniques are afraid of those who practice palm techniques; those who practice palm techniques are afraid of those who practice finger techniques; and those who practice finger techniques dislike those who practice boxing techniques.

Those who practice boxing, legwork, palm techniques, and finger techniques are all afraid of practicing grappling.

Grappling techniques may not be the strongest among all martial arts, but they are certainly one of the most troublesome for all martial artists.

Too insidious and ruthless.

Once you're locked down by a master grappler, you'll be crippled or killed.

Even within the Zhenyuan Martial Arts School, grappling techniques are not sold to outsiders. Only those who sign a contract and become members of the school are qualified to learn grappling techniques.

"First, master the Dragon Subduing Palm Technique to a minor level, and then you can try to learn the Spirit Serpent Seven Entanglement Capture Technique."

  

Zhong Ming murmured to himself.

To learn grappling techniques, it's best to start by learning a palm technique or finger technique.

Grappling techniques require extremely high strength in the wrists and fingers.

Dislocating tendons and bones is the basics, but to achieve this level, the fingers and palms must have extremely strong strength; otherwise, even if you grasp the opponent's vital points, you won't be able to lock them down.

"Unfortunately, at Zhenyuan Martial Arts School, one must reach the Marrow Cleansing Realm before being qualified to learn another martial art."

Zhong Ming actually wanted to continue learning a finger technique at the martial arts school, but his quota had already been used to learn the Dragon Subduing Palm technique, so he had to give up.

Zhong Ming's system panel also showed him a secret technique—the Concealing Breath Technique [Three Stars].

There's no such thing as proficiency when it comes to secret techniques. If you know it, you know it; if you don't, you don't.

It took Zhong Ming half a month to learn it.

The Breath Concealing Technique, as the name suggests, is a secret art that conceals one's aura, blood energy, and true energy. Its overall performance is quite good.

After Zhong Ming became a formal intelligence agent for Tingfenglou, station chief Li Weimin gave him this thing along with his monthly salary.

It's considered an introductory perk, available to every official member, and it's a skill that everyone must learn.

As an intelligence organization, it is inevitable to go to some special places to collect intelligence.

Martial artists have extremely sharp senses; if they don't have some special skills to protect themselves, they'll be discovered in no time.

Therefore, the breath-concentration technique is very important.

Furthermore, after learning the Breath Concealing Technique, Zhong Ming's powerful aura was finally able to be somewhat concealed.

Previously, when people asked about his qi and blood, Zhong Ming would always brush it off by saying that he had just finished cultivating, or had eaten spiritual food or qi and blood pills.

However, this method can only be used in the short term. In the long run, even a fool would know that there are problems.

After breaking through to the Bone Forging stage, Zhong Ming was thinking of finding a way to conceal his aura on the black market, but unexpectedly, Tingfenglou gave him one directly.

"Tonight is Ghost Month, so there's no way to cultivate. Let's rest early."

"I haven't really had a proper rest these past few days."

Zhong Ming looked up and saw the green ghost moon gradually appearing in the sky.

In such circumstances, Zhong Ming is unable to cultivate.

Zhong Ming is unable to cultivate whenever the Ghost Month occurs, even if it is March or April.

Zhong Ming once tried to cultivate when the Blood Moon and Ghost Moon appeared at the same time, and almost caused himself to suffer a qi deviation.

The essence of the flower absorbs and refines the energy of the blood moon, so it's not much different from usual. However, the ghost moon directly affects one's spirit, making it easy to hallucinate.

What's the difference between hallucinations during cultivation and inner demons?

Zhong Ming almost killed himself due to the reversal of his qi and blood, and after that, he never dared to be careless again.

As long as Ghost Month occurs, he will obediently go to the inner city to rest tonight.

Zhong Ming continued to pay the rent for his original residence in Jincheng. Whenever there was a blood moon night, Zhong Ming would come here to cultivate. The inner city was protected by a large formation, which would greatly reduce the absorption of blood moon energy.

Therefore, it is best to leave the inner city when cultivating.

If it is Ghost Month, Zhong Ming will go to the newly rented courtyard in the inner city to rest.

Midnight (11:00-11:00).

[Today's Intelligence Update]

[International Intelligence: The Brian family and the Rhodes family are forming a marriage alliance... (One Star)]

[Domestic intelligence: Zuo Xinlan, daughter of Zuo Mei, the governor of Jiangzuo Prefecture, was assassinated three days ago, and her body was only discovered today. Zuo Mei has stated that he will do everything in his power to avenge his beloved daughter, and will reward anyone with information... (One star)]

[Local intelligence: In eight days, a batch of foreign guns will be transported to the East Wharf of Tianjin via the Max steamship. This batch of guns is an order for the Iron Fist Extraordinary Club... (3 stars)]

"Hiss~"

Samsung News!

"This is the first time I've ever seen a local three-star intelligence report. Even if you include all the intelligence reports, there have only been two reports with three stars or higher."

The first one was from international five-star intelligence. Not long after that intelligence report, the two superpowers, the largest maritime hegemon and the largest land hegemon in the West, went to war. Even the Great Chu Kingdom in the far east was greatly affected.

Many goods in both the East and the West are experiencing sluggish sales or stockouts, which has a significant impact on both sides.

This is the second time we've received information that's rated three stars or higher.

"Still local intelligence, Samsung!"

"I'm afraid the sky is really about to fall."

Zhong Ming's face was gloomy.

What he hates most right now is a major upheaval.

With an intelligence system and a proficiency panel, given enough time, becoming a strong player is only a matter of time.

Zhong Ming doesn't lack opportunities, nor does he need any so-called "opportunities".

For Zhong Ming, a good platform, a stable environment and life would be the greatest help.

The platform allows Zhong Ming to receive more martial arts training.

A stable environment would allow Zhongming more time to develop.

But now, everything seems to be about to be disrupted.

Zhong Ming carefully studied the intelligence from Samsung, scrutinizing every word.

"Iron Fist Club, a level two extraordinary club. The club's manager, Hausen, is an eighth-level extraordinary individual, equivalent to a mid-stage Refining God Realm martial artist."

"Those who can easily overpower him in the entire city of Tianjin can be counted on one hand."

"What does he want so much weaponry for?"
