Chapter 119 Peak of the Ming Realm, Kicking Down the Door

Zhao Zheng clenched his fist.

Feeling the increased power in his body, he revealed a satisfied smile.

A Ming Realm expert possesses the strength of a thousand pounds!

Such power is already considerable.

An ordinary person would die instantly from a single punch!

Of course, it's nothing compared to Zhao Zheng's true self.

His true self's current strength is measured in 'tons'...

Looking at the more than two thousand Spirit Energy points remaining on the attribute panel, Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and decided to try if he could continue to improve his realm.

When he selected "Improve Realm," a new prompt popped up in his left eye:

[Currently unable to directly improve to a higher realm. Consume 800 Spirit Energy points to improve to the 'Peak of the Ming Realm.' Improve?]

[Yes/No?]

Seeing the prompt.

Zhao Zheng was slightly stunned, then fell into deep thought.

He could understand not being able to improve to a higher realm.

His teacher had said that to advance to the Dark Realm, one must first master internal cultivation methods.

He didn't expect that even if he couldn't advance to a higher realm, he could still improve the Ming Realm to its peak?

Old Chu hadn't mentioned this.

He didn't know if Old Chu had forgotten.

Without thinking too much, Zhao Zheng chose to improve!

Only a fool would choose to give up improving when it could enhance their strength...

The moment Zhao Zheng made his choice, a heat current surged from his dantian again, spreading throughout his body.

Instantly!

Now, Zhao Zheng's punch definitely exceeded two thousand pounds.

Besides the increase in strength, his physique also underwent some changes.

Although his original body was used to physical labor, it looked a bit thin due to poor diet and malnutrition.

Now, under the nourishment of Spirit Energy, his muscles quickly strengthened, and his gait became powerful and imposing.

Zhao Zheng was very satisfied with the changes in himself.

Afterward.

Zhao Zheng reopened the package sent by Song Haitang, preparing to choose more martial arts.

Iron Body Technique is a horizontal training skill, mainly used to increase defense.

He still needed some fighting techniques.

After choosing for a while, Zhao Zheng finally selected two martial arts: "Cloud Chasing Steps" and "Iron Sand Palm."

"Cloud Chasing Steps" is a movement technique that can increase speed.

Speed is very important in martial arts competitions.

There is a saying in the martial arts world: "All martial arts under heaven can be broken with speed."

It means that as long as your speed is fast enough that others can't hit you, you are invincible.

This shows the importance of speed.

As for "Iron Sand Palm," it is a very common but very difficult palm technique to practice.

To practice Iron Sand Palm, you need to stir-fry iron sand with your palms every day, constantly rolling it in a hot pot. The scorching heat alone is unbearable for most people.

After practicing, you also need to soak your palms in expensive medicinal liquid to relieve the fire toxins, lest the fire toxins invade the internal organs.

In summary, practicing Iron Sand Palm is not only very painful but also very expensive!

At the same time, talent is also very important. During the practice process, it is easy to die from fire toxins...

Therefore.

Although Iron Sand Palm is widely spread, very few people can master it.

However, once Iron Sand Palm is mastered, the palm strikes are powerful and unmatched, heavy and powerful, with extremely amazing power!

To put it bluntly, Iron Sand Palm belongs to the masculine path. It doesn't have any fancy palm techniques. It's purely about moving qi and blood, mastering the knack of force, and breaking the enemy with force!

To describe it in one sentence, it's "Overpowering skill with brute force!"

And Zhao Zheng likes this kind of "breaking skill with force" style!!

He doesn't like any fancy moves or back-and-forth exchanges.

In addition, "Iron Sand Palm" also belongs to hard qigong, which has a complementary effect with "Iron Body Technique."

This is also the reason why Zhao Zheng chose "Iron Sand Palm."

[Consumed 100 Spirit Energy points. Successfully learned "Iron Sand Palm." Current Iron Sand Palm level: Entry Level.]

[Upgraded Iron Sand Palm successfully. Consumed 100 Spirit Energy points. Current Iron Sand Palm level: Proficient!]

[Upgraded Iron Sand Palm successfully. Consumed 200 Spirit Energy points. Current Iron Sand Palm level: Expert!]

...

Zhao Zheng continued to upgrade Iron Sand Palm until he upgraded Iron Sand Palm to the "Transcendent" level before stopping.

However, there were no new prompts after Iron Sand Palm was upgraded to the maximum level.

It seems that not all external martial arts can undergo transformation like "Iron Body Technique."

"Huh? This is..."

Zhao Zheng suddenly noticed that a strong burning sensation suddenly came from the palms of his hands.

He opened his hands and saw that his palms were already red, as if they had been burned red by fire, and were also sweating profusely.

Immediately afterward.

A memory about "Iron Sand Palm" appeared in his mind.

This memory was not complicated. The main content was how to move qi and blood to the palms and how to exert force with Iron Sand Palm.

His "Iron Sand Palm" was already transcendent. Between movements, he could do whatever he wanted, and he no longer needed to use expensive medicinal baths to maintain his palms in the later stages.

Suddenly.

Zhao Zheng raised his palm and gently pressed it on the solid wood table next to him, and then exerted a little force.

"Puff!"

The table shook!!

When Zhao Zheng's palm left.

A clear palm print appeared on the table!

Seeing this scene, Zhao Zheng immediately showed a satisfied expression.

This palm just now only used 10% of his strength.

It was very good to have such an effect.

Zhao Zheng looked at his hands. With a thought, the qi and blood flowed back, and his hands instantly returned to normal.

People who practice Iron Sand Palm often have calluses on their palms. As the realm increases, they will also turn black, as if poisoned, and eventually evolve into a pair of non-human hands.

With Zhao Zheng's rosy hands, no one would believe that he mastered the transcendent Iron Sand Palm.

...

At this time.

There were only six hundred Spirit Energy points left on Zhao Zheng's attribute panel.

He chose to continue learning "Cloud Chasing Steps."

Of course, he definitely couldn't upgrade it to the maximum level.

After a while, Zhao Zheng's attribute panel changed as follows:

Name: Zhao Shanhe (Zhao Zheng).

Age: 19 years old.

Martial Arts: Dragon's Roar Iron Body Technique (Transcendent), Iron Sand Palm (Transcendent), Cloud Chasing Steps (Expert).

Current Realm: Peak of the Ming Realm.

Current Martial Arts Competition Points: 0.

Usable Spirit Energy Points: 267.

...

This was Zhao Zheng's current attributes.

At the peak of the Ming Realm, he also mastered two transcendent martial arts, and a movement technique...

To be honest, with such a configuration, it would be impossible for anyone who isn't a Dark Realm expert to defeat Zhao Zheng.

"Right now, most transcendents are still racking their brains to obtain martial arts manuals, right?"

"And I have already reached the peak of the Ming Realm and mastered these three martial arts of defense, strength, and speed..."

"With such a high starting point, if I don't become a god, who will?"

Looking at his pocket watch (given to him by Song Haitang), the current time was around 3:30 PM.

It was still early before dark.

Zhao Zheng thought for a while and simply went out to earn martial arts points.

Arriving on the street.

Zhao Zheng found that his perception had become much sharper.

Not as strong as his true self.

But much stronger than his previous ordinary person state.

This was obviously a sensory enhancement brought about by the realm.

At this moment.

Zhao Zheng felt that someone was following him not far behind.

He smiled faintly and swaggered into the alley next to him.

Those who were tracking Zhao Zheng, seeing their target actively enter the alley, immediately showed themselves and surrounded Zhao Zheng.

There were five people in total.

The leader was a scarface with a somewhat狰狞 face.

"Zhao Shanhe, I heard that you've made a fortune recently and even moved into Fumanlou?"

A short man on the left stared at Zhao Zheng and grinned, "You made a fortune but didn't even inform Master Cao. Are you looking down on us?"

The Master Cao he mentioned was the scarface.

Seeing this group of people, Zhao Zheng was slightly surprised.

He originally thought that he was being targeted by the Song family, who sent people to silence him for the sake of Miss Song's reputation.

He didn't expect it to be this group of people in front of him.

Regarding Scarface, Zhao Zheng quickly learned the details of this person through the original owner's memory.

This person was a small leader of the Shahe Gang, mainly responsible for the "half-closed doors" in the city and managing some of the "pigs" belonging to the Shahe Gang.

Half-closed doors refer to the prostitutes in the dark alleys.

The women who work in the half-closed doors are generally older women who have been eliminated from the brothels.

As for the pigs, they refer to those who sell themselves to the Shahe Gang.

These people are not even as good as the peripheral members of the Shahe Gang, and they are purely machines for making money.

Unfortunately, Zhao Zheng's predecessor, Zhao Shanhe, was one of the pigs who sold himself to the Shahe Gang.

He worked as a helper in the rice shop, and most of the wages he earned had to be handed over to the Shahe Gang.

According to the memories in his body, Zhao Zheng knew that Zhao Shanhe was not originally from this city. The reason why he became a pig of the Shahe Gang was entirely because he was tricked by a gambling cousin.

He signed the contract of indenture in a daze.

The money was all taken away by that cousin to gamble.

Thinking of the Shahe Gang.

Zhao Zheng's heart stirred!

The leader of the Shahe Gang is also a master of martial arts with formidable strength.

Without outstanding strength, he wouldn't be able to sit firmly in the position of gang leader.

Since Zhao Zheng wanted to find someone to compete with, he might as well start with the Shahe Gang!

If he could destroy the Shahe Gang, it would be considered revenge for his predecessor and the elimination of harm for the people!!

The Shahe Gang is a tyrant on the docks, and the bad things they have done are too numerous to count.

"Damn it! I'm talking to you!"

Seeing that Zhao Zheng didn't speak for a long time, the short man immediately cursed angrily, "Dare to treat my words as wind in your ears? Are you looking for death?"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Zhao Zheng's collar.

However.

Zhao Zheng's hand was faster.

Zhao Zheng grabbed the other party's wrist and exerted a little force.

Crack!

The short man's wrist was broken by Zhao Zheng.

"Ah!!"

The short man screamed and rolled on the ground in pain.

The sudden change stunned the others.

Probably no one expected that a pig would dare to resist?

"What are you still standing there for?"

Scarface roared, "Disable him!!"

Hearing Scarface's order, the three people reflexively rushed towards Zhao Zheng.

It's just that they were just ordinary hooligans, with no martial arts skills other than fighting.

Zhao Zheng raised his hand, and with one move, sweeping across the army, he knocked all three of them flying.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

It was really knocked flying!

With Zhao Zheng's current strength, even if he restrained his strength, ordinary people would not be able to withstand it.

The three flew out and crashed into the opposite wall before they could land.

And after landing, they could no longer stand up.

……

One move.

He disabled his three thugs.

Scarface was completely stunned.

In his memory, this Zhao Shanhe was just a bumpkin from the countryside. Although he was tall, he was weak and even shorter people could bully him at will.

He didn't expect that this kid actually had such powerful martial arts.

Scarface couldn't understand why a martial artist would be willing to sell himself to the Shahe Gang as a pig?

At this moment, he had no intention to think too much.

He knew that if he didn't run, he would be planted here today.

Thus.

Scarface turned around and ran without saying a word.

But!

Zhao Zheng took a few steps and came in front of Scarface, blocking his way.

Like a ghost!

This is the power of the Chasing Cloud Step.

"Did I let you go?" Zhao Zheng said indifferently.

Hearing the sound and looking at Zhao Zheng's indifferent expression, Scarface knelt down instantly.

"Master Zhao, spare me…"

"Spare you? Whether you can survive today depends on whether you cooperate next."

As Zhao Zheng spoke, he pinched Scarface's shoulder.

A sharp pain struck, but Scarface didn't dare to resist in the slightest.

He knew very well that his little bit of kung fu was just dog shit in front of a real martial artist.

……

Dock.

In a dim house, a group of opium addicts were lying on chairs smoking.

Every time they took a puff, these opium addicts showed extremely pleasant expressions, as if they were happy like immortals.

Seeing this scene.

A fierce-looking middle-aged man at the door couldn't help but smile and said, "The foreigners' opium is really useful! Can we import more goods?"

Hearing the question, the subordinate next to him immediately replied, "Gang Leader, opium is now a hot commodity, and all the docks are in short supply. It may be a bit troublesome to import more goods."

"Trouble?" The leader of the Shahe Gang snorted coldly: "I don't care what method you use, I must ensure that the supply of goods here is sufficient!"

The subordinate was a fake foreigner wearing glasses and a suit.

Hearing the gang leader's words, his eyes moved and he said, "Gang Leader, I heard that many foreigners are interested in oriental women. If the gang leader has a way to get fresh women, I might be able to exchange them for opium for the gang leader, saving even the silver."

The gang leader said: "This is easy to do! This place lacks everything, but it doesn't lack people."

"Then I will wait for the gang leader's good news." The fake foreigner smiled.

The gang leader nodded.

At this time.

A capable subordinate came up and said something in the gang leader's ear.

The gang leader was stunned, and then said: "Take them to the Martial Arts Hall!"

After a while.

The gang leader and his party came to the Martial Arts Hall.

The so-called Martial Arts Hall is the place where this gang leader usually practices martial arts, and it is equipped with all kinds of weapons.

As soon as he entered the door.

The gang leader's face sank.

On his seat, there was a bald young man sitting at this moment.
