Chapter 189: Chapter 133 The First Whetstone, Can It Kill Them? (7K)_3

This is the excellent manifestation of continuously erupting Life Force, condensing into reality.

"Master Liang, I have a vague feeling that breaking through the fiftieth point of Life Force will be very difficult."

On this day, Qin Shi came to Old Factory Street again to discuss Limit Breaking with Old Liang.

The latter indeed had quit drinking and smoking, recently started chewing gum and eating snacks to curb his cravings.

He was shelling fried sunflower seeds and peanuts, piling them into two stacks, planning to eat them all in one go later:

"In the Martial Arts World of the Old Era, this was called ’bottleneck’. Now, it’s referred to as ’Critical Value’. I’ve told you before, Mortal Body potential has an upper limit. It’s not something you can reach a hundred points of Life Force just by hard work and long-term perseverance.

The upper limit for most people is between twenty to forty. A few people with talent or sufficient hard work and resources, the so-called ’top students’, can break through the fifty-point threshold.

The law enforcement officers of the Inspection Department are like this, fifty points of Life Force, coupled with several advanced textbooks, that’s enough."

Qin Shi looked at the pile of shelled sunflower seeds, nodded, and said:

"Master Liang is right. That’s why I chose the path of Limit Breaking. The road ahead is endless, and the potential is infinite."

Old Liang nodded, smacking his lips. Talking about this at length without having a drink was indeed somewhat dull.

"You are now at the Critical Value. Generally, you’ll be stuck for about half a year to a year, repeatedly stimulating the activity of blood and flesh, breaking through it."

Qin Shi was not worried, Old Liang had said that was the general situation.

He himself was assuredly an extraordinary Old Martial talent, unlikely to follow the ordinary path.

"Master Liang, the Blood and Heart Refining Intent of Nanhuang Daoist School, I’m almost done learning it. Through the Cultivation Furnace, Blood Nourishing and Life Creation, it really is a very clever idea.

When will you show me the Divine Bone Cultivation here?"

Old Liang squinted his eyes. He had long intended to take Qin Shi to surpass the Bone Barrier Limit.

However, his disciple prematurely entered the Divine Residence Inner World and his second rebirth.

"Divine Bone Cultivation often requires a grindstone, forcing you to repeatedly sublimate and transform. From ’Mortal Bone’ to ’Holy Bone’, like refining iron, like forging steel. I hadn’t figured out how to implement it before."

Old Liang’s eyes became vacant, pondering for a moment:

"But in this regard, Old Ren said he has a way, planning to collaborate with the Inspection Department and participate in the ’Sharpening Sword Operation’."

As he was speaking, he looked down and found that the pile of shelled sunflower seeds had disappeared.

Qin Shi’s cheeks moved as he ate heartily, asking vaguely:

"Sharpening Sword Operation? What is it specifically? I seem to have heard Sister Yun and Old Tan mention it."

Old Liang shook his head, did not blame his disciple’s mischief, and continued shelling the seeds:

"Simply put, it’s the fight against underworld crime. Once a year, clearing out the ’forbidden zones’ outside Tai’an Main City as part of completing performance metrics.

The threat and influence of Transcendent criminals far exceed ordinary criminals. But Heng Province is restricted by electronic blockade, making it difficult to clean up certain lawless areas."

Qin Shi suddenly understood that assisting law enforcement in fighting crime was indeed a good way for the Old Martial Sect to enhance themselves.

Just like in the era of the Dongxia Empire, those wandering knights liked to right wrongs or travel around, continuously challenging themselves and improving their skills.

"I agree."

Qin Shi nodded, indicating his agreement.

He had been accumulating and settling for a long time, building up enough resources.

He was just worried about not finding a suitable opponent to vigorously vent his excessively abundant energy.

"In a few days, discuss again with Old Ren. Remember to wear the bulletproof vest and anti-stabbing suit you received earlier."

Old Liang, being cautious, reminded.

He had been on the battlefield and knew that facing fierce beasts and strong enemies with vigilance often wouldn’t lead to a disadvantage.

The most prone places for failure are the weak things and the unknown.

"Alright."

Qin Shi grabbed another handful of shelled seeds from Old Liang, threw them into his mouth one by one, chatted a bit more, then got up and left.

...

...

"Son of a bitch! If this were in Hai Province, I’d break your legs, and no one could care!"

The young man surnamed Ying finally couldn’t bear it and smashed an ashtray in the room.

Due to its solid quality, it didn’t shatter but rolled on the carpet a few times and hit the wall heavily, making a "thump" sound.

He took a few deep breaths, gradually calming down, and started looking through the paper documents sent by Cui Zhi.

"Qin Shi... surname Qin? Does he have some background?"

The young man surnamed Ying frowned. The surname Qin, together with He Lanchan’s inheritance, and that long-standing matter, seemed too coincidental.

He continued reading carefully, discovering that it was just a worker family from Old Factory Street, with parents’ situation very clear, and going back three generations, all were workers and farmers.

"So I was overthinking it."

The young man surnamed Ying sighed with relief, just like Cui Zhi fearing the surname above him.

He also feared the surname "Qin", representing the majestic glory of Dongxia, shining like a star.

"An underaged high school student, because of his encounter, gained the inheritance of He Lanchan. Because of his outstanding talent, he was sought after by Nanhuang Daoist School, and had good relations with the famous Lin Family and Chen Family of Heng Province, very close."

The young man surnamed Ying closed the folder. This kind of person isn’t hard to deal with. He had seen many, merely relying on a few innate talents given by heaven, entering into the upper sphere’s radar.

In the Dongxia Empire era, he would be the impoverished commoner lucky enough to climb high.

"Life Force forty-fifty points, if I really want to deal with it, I have a dozen ways. What a pity, Chen Ruofu from Tai’an Inspection Department doesn’t share the same views with Central City, doesn’t communicate."

The young man surnamed Ying rubbed his chin, pondering. Back then, when he entraped Shen Changyuan of Nanhuang Daoist School, he and Brother Qi were accomplices.
