Chapter 344: Ninth-level Force Warrior

344. Chapter 344 Ninth-level Force Warrior

The next morning.

Accompanied by the acupoints in his body being burst, a massive influx of Force surged into him.

Jiang Cheng felt his own power rise another step.

Ninth level!

A Ninth-level Force Warrior's physical defense has reached an extremely exaggerated degree.

Even if hit in a vital spot by a 30‑mm machine cannon, he can remain unharmed; only when struck by a roughly 40‑mm anti‑tank cannon would he be injured, or hit by a rocket, he would be blown to pieces.

But this raises another issue.

Speed.

The initial velocities of handgun, rifle, and machine‑gun bullets are not low, generally 400–900 meters per second; a sniper rifle can approach a thousand meters per second.

But a rocket's initial speed is too slow, most are only 100–200 meters per second.

At this speed, an ordinary person would find it hard to react, but for a Ninth-level Force Warrior whose maximum burst speed reaches 80 meters per second, once he notices it, he can almost always dodge it.

Of course, if it's a laser weapon of comparable power, it's hard to say.

Besides physical defense and speed, a Ninth-level Force Warrior's strength has also reached 50 tons; a direct punch is comparable to being hit by a roughly 40‑mm anti‑tank cannon. Even a light tank with armor thickness of thirty to forty millimeters would be pierced by a single punch at close range.

Jiang Cheng carefully sensed the power within his body at this moment.

His Shadowless Blade Technique proficiency is much faster than the Shadowless Heart Scripture; he has already entered the entry stage, meaning he can now fully exert his own strength.

"If Spiritual Power doesn't increase, at this rate it will still take more than ten days to break through to Level 10, and after another month the Shadowless Heart Scripture will reach entry, making him a Grandmaster."

Anticipation flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes.

After becoming a Grandmaster, the first thing he will do is eliminate the Dawn Society.

And that Kuangfeng Martial Arts School.

And the Maiken Club.

Among these three, the Maiken Club is certainly the strongest and has the toughest backing; even if he reaches Grandmaster, it may still be insufficient.

But just like the Kuangfeng Martial Arts School, some things always need someone to do them.

Two or three months ago, his strength was insufficient, far below that of the Gym Master's opponent, so he could only cut off the enemy's minions; he knew that this would not change anything fundamentally.

Afterwards, many people would still have their families destroyed by them.

But now it's different.

He has enough strength.

Actually, a more prudent approach is still to wait until he breaks through to Level 10, or even to Grandmaster; an even safer plan is, after reaching Grandmaster, to purchase the best weapons, equipment, and treasures, which would be virtually foolproof.

But on second thought, there's really no need for that.

First, that guy called Xie Tian is only an Eight-level Force Warrior; even if he has broken through to Ninth level during this period, he certainly hasn't fully adapted to his body's new power, whereas Jiang Cheng has already fully adapted.

Second, whether intentional or not, the opponent wouldn't expect that a Ninth-level Force Warrior would suddenly strike.

Third, he also has a Tianluo Umbrella; when fully activated, even under attack from a Level 10 Force Warrior it can hold out for a while, enough for him to escape.

Besides that, there's one more point.

In this little over a month, many more poor souls might be driven to desperation by the enemy; acting earlier would also save some of them.

"Then, let's act tonight."

Jiang Cheng stood up.

He has been Refining Alchemy for over a month, and hasn't sparred with anyone for a long time; it's time to stretch his muscles.

Another day of Refining Alchemy.

Even Jiang Cheng felt some monotony.

He glanced at the Panel's Experience Bar for the Alchemy Technique; at least another half month is needed for completion.

He shook his head.

Accompanied by his guards, Jiang Cheng walked all the way to his doorstep. "Master Jiang, that's all for today, take care of yourself."

The man smiled and said to Jiang Cheng.

"Please, Gu Dage."

Jiang Cheng quickly replied.

"It's nothing, it's only natural."

The man waved his hand.

He was still somewhat displeased about the appointment of Gu Zhangkong.

He was originally responsible for the safety of a Sixth Rank Alchemical Master, and now must also look after a protected newcomer.

But now, it's a coveted opportunity.

Of course, originally responsible for two people, now it's only Jiang Cheng.

Seeing the other party depart, Jiang Cheng looked at the house door right before him, but instead of entering, he quietly walked outward.

He stepped out of the Central Area; his figure flashed and vanished into the night.

……

North City District.

Late night.

Vehicles and pedestrians were scarce on the road.

Even the Kuangfeng Martial Arts School had few people at this hour; only the lights in the first‑floor lobby were fully on, with sporadic lights on the upper floors.

On the fourth floor, inside a Conference Room.

Several people were gathered together; apart from one middle‑aged man, the rest were young men and women.

This middle‑aged man, no one else, is the Gym Master of Kuangfeng Martial Arts School, Xie Tian.

At this moment he wears a gloomy expression, listening to his disciples report this month's loan situation.

The more he listens, the worse his complexion becomes.

The three or four disciples giving the report also look terrified.

Because this month's revenue fell by more than thirty percent compared with the previous month! Finally, after the report ends, the Conference Room falls into dead silence.

"Is this the result you gave me?"

A moment later, Xie Tian's gaze sweeps over the crowd, his eyes filled with displeasure.

"Master, Master, we really did our best."

The man speaking has a bitter expression.

To achieve the goal set by Xie Tian, they have set aside even cultivation during this period, searching everywhere for targets and for debt collection.

If it weren't for this, this month's income would have dropped not just thirty percent but perhaps fifty percent or more.

"Yes, Master," one of the women says cautiously, "Because, because of that incident, we had to change the company's name; everything has to start from scratch, so this month's revenue is indeed poor, but please rest assured, Master, next month the income will rise, even surpass, surpass Second Senior Brother and the others."

By the end, the woman's voice is smaller than a fly's.

But everyone present hears it clearly, and they all break into a cold sweat for the woman.

Since that incident, none of them dare to mention First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother openly, let alone in front of the Master.

Because of this, even now the culprit has not been found.

Sure enough, hearing the words "Second Senior Brother" makes Xie Tian's heart suddenly flare with anger.

But immediately, an even greater sense of helplessness surges, completely extinguishing the anger.

Indeed, he knows who the culprit is, but what of it? He simply cannot afford to offend that terrifying organization.

Unless he is willing to abandon everything and flee the world with his family. (End of chapter)
