348: Chapter 348 The purest, most powerful physical body is the eternal truth.

In the rainy night of the early morning, everything was dead silent.

The tail lights of a taxi dragged two long red lines on the wet and slippery road, eventually disappearing at the street corner.

Inside the Haitian Garden residential area, building after building of high-rise residential towers stood like silent giants in the pitch-black night curtain.

Here, only a few scattered windows still emitted the light of staying up all night.

Click.

After a slight unlocking sound, a figure walked into the door.

On the porch floor, two strings of wet footprints were left behind.

The lights were not turned on, vaguely outlining the person's tall and robust body shape.

In the darkness, the figure took off his clothes and pants soaked by rain and stained with the smell of blood, casually crumpled them into a ball, and threw them into the trash can in the corner.

Then, he walked barefoot toward the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of flowing water came from inside.

Half an hour later.

The frosted glass door was pulled open, and the steaming mist rushed out eagerly.

The figure was completely naked and walked out step by step.

He casually grabbed a towel and rubbed his hair randomly.

Then, standing in front of the vanity, he turned on the mirror light with a " Snap" sound.

The soft light instantly outlined a majestic body full of a sense of power.

Fang Cheng put down the towel and calmly examined himself in the mirror.

His bald head had distinct facial features and sharp angles.

A body of sculpted, bodybuilding-like muscles reflected water light under the light.

Subsequently, Fang Cheng raised his arms, slowly bent them in front of him, and struck a classic bodybuilding pose.

His biceps instantly bulged and swelled, towering like peaks, and the veins on his arms were knotted, even resembling a coiled angry Dragon.

Looking at such a strong man in the mirror, the corners of Fang Cheng's mouth curled up slightly.

Then he leaned closer to the mirror and carefully stared at his scalp.

Under that smooth skin, a layer of fine cyan hair stubble had already emerged.

Touching it, it even felt a bit prickly.

According to this growth rate, in another month or two, recovering flowing hair should not be a problem.

Fang Cheng smiled with satisfaction.

The only pity was.

Previously, in order to finish the fight quickly, he used the Flame Breathing Technique, and the externalized True Qi not only burned up his clothes, but even turned that wig completely into ashes.

It seemed that he had to go buy a new one tomorrow.

After taking a shower and drying his body, Fang Cheng put on slippers and took a bathrobe off the coat rack.

This was specially bought for him by his mother when she came over the day before yesterday.

The soft fabric clung to his skin, carrying a clean scent of sunlight and soap.

Fang Cheng took a deep breath and stretched his limbs comfortably.

The bones all over his body suddenly made a series of fine, crisp cracking sounds.

Walking out of the bathroom, he came to the living room.

The outlines of the few pieces of furniture appeared somewhat desolate under the weak light.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was an endless rain curtain, blurring the city's sparse lights into a swaying halo.

The whole world seemed to have only left him alone.

Yet Fang Cheng exceptionally enjoyed this peace and loneliness.

Staring for a moment, he turned and walked toward the kitchen.

The huge horizontal freezer was pulled open, and white cold air rose lazily.

A whole box of braised beef and a box of roasted chicken legs were taken out from the piled-up food.

Fang Cheng returned to the living room, sat on a chair, and enjoyed his midnight snack with big swallows against the backdrop of the rain outside the window.

Fighting with someone in the middle of the night consumed a lot of energy, so he indeed needed to replenish some nutrition.

Although he swallowed a lot of high-protein yellow mucus when he was trapped in Scorpion's water dungeon,

most of those nutrients were directly refined by the body into True Qi and stored in the Dantian Qi Sea.

Therefore, the hunger in his stomach still remained.

While chewing the meat, Fang Cheng reviewed tonight's operation in his mind.

The reason why he could precisely find the location where Scorpion committed crimes was no coincidence.

As early as in the Jiangbei Police Station, when he reviewed the case files of the Rain Night Butcher through A-Bang's connections,

Fang Cheng keenly noticed that those seemingly random crime locations actually followed a certain pattern.

The murderer was like someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, committing a crime almost every month.

Moreover, every time he completed three hunts, he would change his activity area.

According to the case records, only one case had previously occurred in the eastern region of Jiangbei.

Therefore, Scorpion's next hunt had a high probability of still happening here.

Looking across the entire eastern Jiangbei, only Yingchun Road gathered numerous nightclubs and bars, lacking nothing in modern ladies returning late at night, making it convenient for him to choose a satisfying target.

After locking onto the range, Fang Cheng tracked all the way over.

He happened to run into the people of the Special Investigation Team also setting a trap, preparing to entrap Scorpion.

Fang Cheng hid in the dark and observed silently, recognizing Cheng Leyi at a glance.

This woman, who once had a special entanglement with him, had her identity swapped tonight.

She had seemingly fallen from a hunter into a prey coveted by others.

Seeing that she and her companion were truly powerless to resist that perverted sex fiend, he chose to appear, neatly and cleanly solving the target and completing the kill mission.

Afterwards, he did not leave immediately.

Instead, he hid in the dark, hearing the conversation among those people of the Special Investigation Team crystal clear.

Even Xu Fei's speculation regarding Scorpion's strength level reached his ears.

Fang Cheng similarly did not think Scorpion had reached S-grade.

Because this so-called "Domain" was, in his eyes, almost an illusion that would shatter at a single poke.

Combining the intelligence provided by Chen Chen and his own actual combat experience, a conclusion could be drawn.

This person Scorpion was very good at using poison and possessed the special ability to manipulate water currents.

When trapping Cheng Leyi, he manipulated the rain to form a thick rain curtain that isolated the outside line of sight.

Then, through the medium of rain, he silently released hallucinogenic poison capable of interfering with senses, thereby creating the illusion of a closed space.

Moreover, in this special rainstorm environment, Scorpion could obtain an endless stream of water currents to replenish the consumption of his abilities.

But an illusion was ultimately an illusion.

As long as one's Physique was resilient and Mental Energy was powerful enough, one could instantly see through the flaws within.

With Fang Cheng's current mental attribute, naturally he could not be deceived by such small tricks.

However, this guy could be considered smart to actually think of this unique hunting method.

No wonder he could become one of the two top cadres of the Dongdu Branch of the Noah Organization.

For committing crimes for many years without his true identity being discovered by anyone, let alone being captured.

If he hadn't died at his own hands tonight, given time, this person might really have a possibility of advancing to S-grade.

Swallowing the last bite of chicken leg meat, Fang Cheng threw the residue and plastic meal box into the trash can.

Wiping his mouth with a napkin, he let out a light breath.

Before going to sleep at night, it was not suitable to eat too full; filling the stomach slightly was just about right.

The rain outside the window seemed to have no intention of stopping, and cold raindrops continuously pounded on the glass, making a monotonous and continuous sound.

"Is it the ability of a Domain..."

Staring at the pitch-black night outside, Fang Cheng muttered to himself in a low voice.

In his mind flashed the scenes of the previous battle once more, as well as those words of Xu Fei.

In his heart, he couldn't help but generate a trace of yearning for true S-grade ability users.

The legendary Minister Luo of the Noah Organization should possess this peculiar power, right?

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's gaze moved slightly.

In his field of vision, a light blue light screen quietly emerged.

[ Boxing Experience + 30 ]

[ Boxing Lv3 (81 / 1000) ]

[ Sanda Experience + 15 ]

[ Sanda Lv3 (37 / 1000) ]

[ Muay Thai Experience + 15 ]

[ Muay Thai Lv2 (243 / 500) ]

[ Jiu-Jitsu Experience + 10 ]

[ Jiu-Jitsu Lv2 (321 / 500) ]

...

In tonight's battle, Scorpion relied on his unique liquid body to offset most of the punch and kick impact forces.

He indeed created a little trouble for himself.

But precisely because of this, several combat skills gained a lot of experience values.

Especially when he first unleashed the ultimate technique "Death Tornado", matched with the explosive power of flame True Qi, the power was truly shocking.

Not only did it completely blast apart the opponent's true form, but it also instantly cleared the rain curtain of a neighborhood.

It could be said that this was no longer martial arts in the pure sense.

Fang Cheng's gaze swept across the skill bars one by one, and a thought suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

As these skills gradually upgraded to the Grandmaster level, or even higher Realms,

would he also have the opportunity to master special abilities similar to a "Domain"?

As soon as this thought appeared, it grew wildly like wild grass.

Staring at the panel for a long time, Fang Cheng ultimately smiled and shook his head, expelling all illusions.

The light blue light screen subsequently faded away.

He walked to the window, looking at the midnight rain scenery.

The phone screen lit up, showing the time as 1:29 AM.

"Time to sleep, still need to wake up early tomorrow to exercise..."

Fang Cheng said softly.

For him, the values on the panel were the symbol of power and the confidence that he could blast everything apart.

The so-called "Domain" was merely a certain form of expression of power.

Only the purest super-strong Physique itself was the eternal truth.

Therefore, wanting to climb to the peak of this world and trample all enemies underfoot, he must never slacken in the tempering of his Physique.

...

The next day, early morning.

Outside the window, it was still gloomy, and the lingering rain was still falling, only much smaller than last night.

Heavy clouds still shrouded the sky.

The whole city seemed to have been washed over by water, and the outlines of the distant buildings were clear and stern, reflecting the lead-gray sky light.

Inside the spacious training room, the air was filled with a faint smell of sweat.

Fang Cheng was bare-chested, grabbing a fixed horizontal bar with a single arm, his entire body suspended in mid-air.

At his ankles, barbell plates with a total weight of 500 catties were firmly fixed with a belt.

The heavy iron blocks made crisp collision sounds as his body swayed.

Fang Cheng put his legs together and raised them upward in a slow and extremely controlled posture.

When his waist and abdominal core suddenly tightened, those angular abdominal muscles instantly hardened like iron plates.

Every inch of elevation was accompanied by the ultimate tension of muscle fibers and the bulging of veins on his arms.

The moment his toes touched the horizontal bar, he paused for a second, and then slowly lowered his legs at the same slow speed.

Until a set of training ended, he rested briefly.

Immediately after, he tied a binding strap filled with iron blocks and weighing a total of 200 catties onto his body.

Then, supporting the ground with a single palm, his body stood upside down like a javelin.

The muscle groups of the supporting arm were instantly mobilized, forming an indestructible mechanical structure from the palm to the shoulder.

He began doing single-arm Handstand Push-ups, and every time he sank or pushed up, he erupted with terrifying power.

At the same time, sweat beads slid down from his temples, dripping along his chin onto the floor, making a slight " Snap嗒" sound.

Time passed as the sky outside the window gradually brightened.

"Hoo——"

Finally completing all the training content in the plan, Fang Cheng exhaled a breath of foul air.

After removing the weight load on his body, the muscles all over his body relaxed completely.

The light blue light screen appeared before his eyes once more.

A few prompt messages of skill experience growth flashed past sequentially.

Fang Cheng glanced over them and nodded slightly.

The exercise effect was as steady and considerable as ever.

Subsequently, his gaze fell on those two skills whose progress bars were about to reach the top.

[ Leg Raise Experience + 16 ]

[ Leg Raise Lv2 (439 / 500) ]

[ Handstand Push-up Experience + 17 ]

[ Handstand Push-up Lv2 (418 / 500) ]

At most a few more days of high-intensity morning exercises, these two skills should also be able to smoothly break through to the Grandmaster level.

Every upgrade brought a solid improvement in combat effectiveness.

Fang Cheng felt gratified in his heart, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the gray scenery outside the window.

The distant sea and sky merged into one.

At the end of the beach, that white lighthouse stood lonely on the cliff, like a silent sentinel.

Fang Cheng stared at it, suddenly recalling his informer planted at the other end of the city.

It was time to notify Xiaosa and let him handle the loose ends.

...

Meanwhile, in an old and shabby house in the urban village,

Xiaosa was sitting in front of the dining table, drinking white porridge with slurp sounds.

On the table was a dish of pickles, and a cage of steaming meat buns.

"A-Ren, eat slower."

Li Guifen opposite listened attentively, a kind smile on her face:

"Why A-Ren't you going to work at the construction site today? And you even spent money to buy meat buns. How expensive! If you want to eat them, tell Mom, Mom will go to the market to buy meat and make them for you."

"Mom, eat with peace of mind."

Xiaosa bit into a bun and said vaguely:

"Didn't I tell you, I now follow a big boss and run errands for him. It has much more future than the construction site."

"From now on, I'll let you eat meat buns every day. Also, when I earn enough money, I'll take you to treat your eyes."

The smile on Li Guifen's face faded a bit, adding a few points of worry, she muttered:

"What kind of boss is this? Don't let it be doing any bad things..."

"Mom, how is that possible..."

Xiaosa replied with dissatisfaction, wanting to explain.

At this very moment, his voice came to an abrupt stop, and the hand holding the porridge bowl shook violently, almost spilling it all over the table.

"What's wrong?"

Li Guifen immediately sensed her son's abnormality and asked with concern: "Choked? Quickly drink a mouthful of porridge to wash it down."

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

Xiaosa hurriedly covered up, gulped down a large mouthful of porridge, then stood up, and said somewhat flusteredly:

"Mom, I... I'll go answer the call of nature first..."

After speaking, he walked quickly into the inner room and closed the door behind him with his backhand.

"President, I am here!"

Xiaosa responded respectfully in his heart.

A steady voice directly sounded in his mind:

"Scorpion has been killed by me, you can now tell this news to Chen Chen."

Hearing this, Xiaosa's heart suddenly shook.

Less than two days had passed since the contract agreement was reached.

The President's handling efficiency was simply too high!

"When you contact Chen Chen, your attitude can be a bit arrogant."

Fang Cheng's voice continued to come:

"Tell him that within a week, the final payment must be settled. Otherwise, let him wait to collect his own corpse..."

"Yes! President, I understand."

The mental connection was interrupted. Xiaosa stood in place, a surge of hot blood welling up in his chest, and the whole person was shaking a bit with excitement.

Although he was not clear about who on earth that Advanced cadre of the Noah Organization was,

being able to make a figure like Chen Chen feel fear, he was definitely an extraordinary big shot!

And such a big shot, the President killed him just like that, simply as easy as killing a chicken or slaughtering a dog!

Just how powerful... was this organization he joined?

Xiaosa only felt full of drive all over his body, he clenched his fists tightly and swore secretly.

He must perform well, strive to become an official member of the organization as soon as possible, and completely change his destiny of being unlucky for half a lifetime.

He pulled open the room door, returned to the main room, and said to his mother:

"Mom, I'm going out to make a phone call."

"What phone call is so urgent? Eat your meal first."

"Very important matter!"

Xiaosa casually grabbed another bun and bit it in his mouth,

"Right, I won't come back to eat at noon. The boss gave me work, and I must go and handle it right away!"

After finishing, he rushed out of the door without even turning his head.

Li Guifen shook her head.

"This child, why has he been acting so neurotic these past few days... However, being so motivated now is also good..."

Thinking of this, a trace of gratified smile appeared on her face.
