Chapter 315

Martial Artist Center.

Inside the room.

Fang Xing opened the door and saw a commotion outside: "This is... what happened?"

"I heard there was a murder case last night, and they are searching the whole city."

An External Force martial artist passing by explained.

They were all martial artists, enjoying the food and accommodation services of the Martial Artist Center, and this one happened to live next door.

"Did some big shot die?"

Fang Xing looked surprised.

"Didn't say... should be some incredible big shot."

This martial artist was also a bit confused.

By the Great Xia New Calendar, the Boundary Land expanded, and too many people died; even in the Third Defense City, many people had died not long ago.

How big of a figure must it be to achieve this effect?

Fang Xing actually knew in his heart that the person who died was not important; who was lured out was the most important.

Just as he was preparing to eat breakfast, two martial artists in uniforms had already come to his front: "Li Ying?"

"It's me."

Fang Xing nodded: "What do the two of you want?"

"Zhao Chuntai died last night, do you know?"

A female martial artist finished speaking and immediately stared at Fang Xing's expression.

"Zhao Chuntai? Died... haha, died well!"

Fang Xing laughed loudly: "Died too well."

"What did you say?" The young man beside this female martial artist was immediately furious.

They had investigated last night, and the one who killed Zhao Chuntai was a Transformation Force peak expert!

As for the matter of having already broken through to Martial Way Master, and even easily defeating Martial Way Grandmaster, even they didn't have the authority to know.

Not to mention, the top secret that the perpetrator was suspected to be an alien.

Therefore, according to the routine investigation of revenge killing, the first thing is to find Zhao Chuntai's enemy.

It's just that 'Li Ying' had average cultivation before, and only certified as an Internal Force expert yesterday, so he had nothing to do with Transformation Force peak.

Even so, seeing this person's attitude of shouting loudly when hearing the news of death, it still made them very angry.

"Zhao Chuntai's sister has a grudge against me; him dying is naturally a good thing, so what if I'm happy?"

Fang Xing asked back.

"Very good, you admitted it, then what were you doing last night? Dare to go and perform a test?"

The young man said immediately.

"I was sleeping last night; as for whether I dare? Either you force me to go, or I definitely won't agree!"

Fang Xing sneered: "Do you think I'm an idiot? Still voluntarily accepting an inspection... this kind of thing, clearly you should find evidence to point at me, not me proving my innocence..."

Any matter, once it reaches the point of needing to prove innocence, is often in a disadvantageous position.

After all, no one is perfect; starting a comprehensive inspection, there are always some mistakes and handles, and then they are infinitely magnified.

In the end, even if the matter originally investigated was fine, this person's reputation is ruined, so proving innocence is for idiots!

Fang Xing had one attitude: either find evidence to arrest him, and then he would resist arrest.

Or just go do whatever you should do.

"Alright, we know, thank you for your cooperation."

The female martial artist saw Feng Jinshui coming over, immediately pulled her partner, and walked out of the restaurant.

"Lulu, why?"

The male martial artist was immediately angry.

"Seeing him so fearless, maybe it really has nothing to do with him, and martial artists have privileges, cannot be imprisoned without guilt..."

Lulu shook her head, a trace of confusion appearing on her face again: "I always feel the reaction from above to this case is very strange... it seems they already know who the murderer is, so we don't need to do too much, just routine investigation."

Simply put, everyone is earning a salary, why risk your life.

"Sigh, I was just feeling a bit of sympathy for the rabbit..."

The young man sighed.

Fang Xing's psychological quality was excellent, and after fooling around with Feng Jinshui for a few sentences, he returned to his room.

After confirming there was no surveillance, he took out the secret manual obtained from Zhang Daoxuan and began to read it carefully.

"Law mysteries... after True Force, can I come into contact with it?"

"Even if, it's just a little fur..."

"So-called True Force is just force activation to the limit..."

Three days later.

Fang Xing sat cross-legged, surges of force erupting all over his body.

By this time, he had already deduced the force of the Eagle Claw Skill to the 'True Force' level, which could be called unprecedented.

After all, the Eagle Claw Skill, this lower-grade martial art, is quite remarkable to be able to practice to Transformation Force.

"Should I change the name, call it 'Eagle Claw Iron Cloth Shirt' or something?"

Fang Xing touched his chin and finally put down this speechless thought.

He raised his hand, and surges of blue-black True Force appeared, following his will to bend and stretch, circling his body, and vaguely turning into various forms such as eagles, human figures, and weapons.

"The power of True Force is not inferior to an External Landscape martial artist..."

"More importantly, it is the subsequent comprehension of mysterious power."

Fang Xing looked at the secret manual in his hand.

This secret manual was very strange; before he had mastered it, it was even difficult to 'copy', and even content he didn't understand would be forgotten quickly.

No wonder that Grandmaster would carry it with him.

"According to the main universe, after External Landscape, it is condensing the Martial Way Jin Dan..."

"But it seems, the power of the Martial Way Jin Dan might not even be as good as the mysterious power here..."

After contemplating for several days, Fang Xing had gradually gained some insights.

He looked at his right hand, and saw that at some point, a wisp of flame had appeared on his palm.

This was not any flame ability, or Martial Way External Landscape.

But a flame formed directly by utilizing the laws of heaven and earth.

"Law mysteries are not moves, just a kind of realm, or auxiliary... but adding them to moves can increase the power of moves a thousand or a hundred times."

Fang Xing pointed casually.

His Eagle Claw Skill reached the Grandmaster level, his fingers instead became as smooth as jade; at this time, he pointed lightly, but the air made a dense air explosion sound.

"I haven't broken through to above Grandmaster yet, and the fire mystery I comprehended is just fur... but after adding this bit of mystery, the power of the Eagle Claw has increased at least ten times... what True Force Grandmaster, one finger can kill!"

"If I fully comprehend a kind of mystery, what kind of power would that be?"

"Simply a step to the sky, but it's very difficult... the Grandmasters of this world want to comprehend laws to break through, the difficulty is much greater than breaking through to Jin Dan; the key is not lacking resources, but comprehension! If you can't comprehend it, you might not break through for tens of thousands of years!"

Fang Xing vaguely felt that this force system was a bit strange.

It didn't look like it was specifically used to cultivate strong people, but rather like some kind of freshman assessment, specifically increasing the difficulty to select excellent seedlings.

He observed the metal secret manual, his expression gradually becoming obsessed, forgetting the time outside...

Even, even the 'return moment' that was getting closer and closer could not distract him in the slightest. A week passed.

Two weeks passed...

Half a month later...

Late at night, Feng Jinshui approved a few documents, then shook his head: "I said so... that Li kid, although his temperament is a bit lonely, he is definitely not a murderer... it's just that the higher-ups closed the case without explaining the truth... could it be that it involves some secret?"

In his hand, it was the case file about Zhao Chuntai before.

"Forget it, I can go find that Li kid later... don't stay in the room all day; martial artists don't go out to do missions, experience actual combat, exchange treasures, martial arts... how can they progress?"

Feng Jinshui mistakenly thought that Fang Xing staying behind closed doors all day was to avoid the limelight.

In fact, he guessed completely wrong.

Just as his footsteps moved and he came outside Fang Xing's door, a sudden change occurred!

Rip!

The wall cracked directly, and the hot airflow rushed toward his face!

Feng Jinshui was startled, like a frightened rabbit, and scurried to the back, his movements incredibly agile.

Then...

He saw three side-by-side crimson claw marks rising into the sky.

Its momentum was incredibly magnificent, illuminating the dark night.

Even the dark clouds in the sky were torn to shreds!

One claw tearing the sky!

"This... this this..."

"Even a True Force Grandmaster couldn't do this, right?"

Feng Jinshui looked at this scene, his expression couldn't help but become dull.

Inside the room.

"Success!"

Fang Xing looked at his palm, a trace of joy appearing on his face.

With his Martial Saint-level vision and knowledge, his incredibly strong will, and his talent in comprehension.

Consuming half a month of time, he finally understood the first few pages of the metal secret manual.

Fire mystery, finally entered!

"This newly comprehended fire mystery can be named 'Ignition Technique', or 'Explosion'! The effect can make True Force attach a layer of hot power, and the power soars about thirty-three times... this kind of power is almost the same as a Martial Way Jin Dan strike."

"But this body of mine, it seems it's still a Martial Way Grandmaster..."

"No... what's even more terrifying is that this kind of amplification should be based on my own force output."

"That is to say, if Li Ying breaks through to above Grandmaster, the power of his current moves is thirty-three times the base value of above Grandmaster!"

"Compared to the 'Great Vajra Prajna Divine Power' I practiced before, it's simply not worthy of carrying shoes... what kind of cosmic inheritance is this? Actually so mysterious?"

Just as Fang Xing was surging with excitement, and the entire Third Defense City was lively because of this huge movement.

An unknown space.

The ancient gray-white stone palace was majestic and solemn, floating in a gray mist.

In the center of the stone palace was a pool, and on the pool appeared a model of the Great Xia planet.

At this time, a crimson light spot suddenly flickered on the model.

It kept enlarging, gradually revealing the outline of the Third Defense City, and the place where the light spot was located was in the dormitory of the Martial Artist Center!

"Finally..."

A gray-robed person saw this scene, his tone carrying a trace of excitement.

He looked at 'Li Ying' sitting cross-legged in the dormitory and suddenly opened his big hand.

"Hmm?"

Inside the room, Fang Xing suddenly felt a sense of horror all over his body!

Then, he felt his eyes go black, and a dizzying sensation.

"This is... a teleportation array? Similar space transfer?"

He was startled in his heart, his expression unchanged, and he looked around.

As far as the eye could see, he only saw a gray-white stone palace.

One by one, stone pillars rose into the sky, looking incredibly magnificent, and the various sword marks on them carried a mottled and vicissitudes feeling.

"I have waited for 372 eras, finally waiting for a genius who can enter the mystery before the age of 20..."

A gray-robed person appeared in front of Fang Xing.

Fang Xing looked at his face, but could only see a bottomless darkness.

"372 eras, Great Xia takes 100 years as an era, that is 37,200 years?"

Fang Xing was calm; after all, even if he died, it was Li Ying who died, not his business.

What's more... the return time was almost up.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so reckless; after comprehending a trace of fire mystery, he immediately couldn't wait to test the move, not afraid of exposure.

"Yes... I have been monitoring this planet, as long as there is a fluctuation of mysterious power, I will immediately check and guide... unfortunately, for more than 30,000 years, no one has been able to meet my requirements, until your appearance..."

The gray-robed person seemed a bit excited.

Fang Xing felt awe in his heart, knowing he had met an unimaginable strong person.

Although Li Ying was not his main body, being able to teleport a Fifth Realm professional in space was unimaginable even in the main universe's Blue Star Federation!

After all, the Federation's space technology is very weak!

According to Fang Xing's speculation, only that space ability Martial God of the Nine Swords Academy could do this!

"Then, this senior... what is the matter with finding me?"

Fang Xing recovered his mood, feeling that he was about to come into contact with the secret of this world's origin, and asked directly.

In his heart, he was even more surging with excitement.

'Originally thought it was just an ordinary small world, didn't expect so many surprises...'

Before, Fang Xing felt that being able to comprehend and take away that trace of fire mystery was worth the price.

Didn't expect, there were unexpected surprises!

"My purpose is to find a successor..."

The gray-robed person said: "Because... I am already dead, what remains here is just a segment of my will, or projection, obsession, maintained by a treasure... before I die, I want to take a student to do a few things for me."

There is never good for no reason in the world.

Why do those strong people want to take apprentices? Naturally, they have requests for others!

Otherwise, their lifespan is infinite, their power is strong... why not cherish their own broom, but instead teach the apprentice to surpass themselves?

Even high-tech companies know how to build barriers, block technology, and prevent leaks.

"What things?"

Fang Xing was mentally prepared and asked.

"The day your strength is successful, avenge me!"

The gray-robed person looked at Fang Xing, seeing that his expression had no fluctuation, and continued: "Then... if one day, you can reach that peak realm, resurrect me!"

"Resurrect?"

Fang Xing was a bit surprised; in the main universe, although extraterrestrial Evil Deities can do this kind of thing, it seems they can only resurrect themselves, and human strong people have no means of resurrection.

"You will never be able to imagine the strength of the peak strong people in this universe... for them, fishing people from the river of time is not particularly difficult... what is truly difficult is transcendence!"

The gray-robed person's tone carried a trace of emotion: "The planet you are on is just a native planet, on which there is a primary cosmic civilization... above the primary cosmic civilization, there is a middle cosmic civilization, a high cosmic civilization..."

"And the truly strong people in the universe will only be born in the peak cosmic civilization... even so, among those peak cosmic civilizations, there has never been a 'Transcendentalist'! So-called transcendence... is to transcend everything, transcend this universe, transcend all shackles and cages!"
