"No way, it’s done already!"
Xigou was utterly shocked.
A Blade Skill from the Great Python Realm was mastered by Fang Zhixing in an incredibly short time, less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea.
Fang Zhixing transmitted a message with a smile, "This is what is called having an overarching view from a high place. I cultivated the Blade Skill with the strength of the Great Python Realm; it was naturally achieved without difficulty."
Xigou was endlessly amazed and suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Quick, quick, enhance it."
He too was impatient and wanted to experience an enhancement himself!
Fang Zhixing took a breath to calm his heartbeat, then smiled at Ding Zhigang and said, "Big brother, I’m going to use the toilet."
"Okay, the toilet is over there." Ding Zhigang raised his hand and pointed.
Fang Zhixing quickly walked away, leaving Ding Zhigang’s line of sight.
Instantly, he was moved in spirit.
In a flash, Fang Zhixing only felt his head swell again, accompanied by a sharp pain.
But right after, he entered a mysterious state, as if dreaming.
In the dream, he practiced the Thirteen Forms of Battle Banner Blade Skill day and night, like a fierce warrior, honing his Blade Skill through chopping and killing.
Gradually, he gained deeper insights into the Thirteen Forms of Battle Banner Blade Skill, maturing the skill to perfection.
A fervent man, alone with a blade, taking the head of a general from the midst of a million army was as easy as reaching into a bag.
All said and done, it truly happened in the blink of an eye.
Fang Zhixing’s eyes were momentarily blurry, but soon cleared.
He felt his body, molded by the Cultivation of Iron Mountain Skill, had undergone subtle changes.
His muscles became tighter, especially the muscles in his arms, legs, and waist, which became more pronounced and robust.
At the same time, some other muscles slimmed down a bit, making his entire muscle lines sharper, like a blade ready to kill upon unsheathing.
Of course, these subtle changes were all covered by his casual martial outfit, hardly noticeable by others.
[Thirteen Forms of Battle Banner Blade Skill Second Layer · Perfection]
[Burst Skill: Single Blade Straight In (Lv2)]
[Burst Skill: Dragging Blade Slash (Lv2)]
[Burst Skill: Cross Flower Slash (Lv2)]
Fang Zhixing exhaled a long breath, then his mood instantly became extremely joyful.
"This is great, I now have three Second Level Blade Burst Skills!"
Fang Zhixing was overjoyed, his thoughts had indeed been correct.
The strength enhancement was not particularly significant, still at the Perfection of the Great Python Realm, but his combat skills had clearly improved, his capability in actual combat soared.
Xigou suddenly screamed, "Why haven’t I changed at all, not even a bit of enhancement?"
Fang Zhixing glanced at Xigou’s System Panel, which was still the same, possessing 5 dog lives.
He pondered for a moment and concluded, "Your Bonds Hack is supposed to enhance synchronously, and ’synchronous’ here might mean in sync with my Realm or strength.
Although I have enhanced twice consecutively, my Cultivation Realm hasn’t actually changed, so you do not get any benefits."
Xigou stared and said, "Damn, does that mean as long as you don’t advance in Realm, I will be stuck forever?"
Fang Zhixing sneered, "Ever heard of ’rising to heaven in a single bound’? I haven’t risen, and you want to rise? Keep dreaming!"
Xigou was immediately at a loss for words.
He was dissatisfied, wanting to surpass Fang Zhixing and tread him under his paws, making him sing about conquest and how lonely it is to be invincible.
"No way, there must be a bug here, I just haven’t noticed it yet."
Xigou’s eyes were moving around.
A moment later, Fang Zhixing returned, sat down, and drank tea.
His expression serious, he began, "Big brother, there is something I would like to discuss with you."
Ding Zhigang also drinking tea, smiled and said, "Speak."
Fang Zhixing related the incident about being attacked in the market.
"What, someone tried to kill you?!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Zhigang’s face changed dramatically, he angrily slammed the table and cursed:
"These traitors, such audacity to run wild in the city, completely disregarding me as the Chief Constable."
Fang Zhixing nodded, joining in the curse, "Exactly, a bunch of scumbags!"
Xigou looked around, puzzled: "???"
Ding Zhigang thought for a moment and said suspiciously, "This is a bit fishy. The fact that you were targeted as soon as you stepped out suggests someone has been watching you."
Fang Zhixing responded, "That’s what I thought too, but I am not very familiar with the people inside the Government Office. I hope big brother Ding can help me investigate."
"Your big brother will definitely cover you!"
Ding Zhigang struck his chest, earnestly said, "But this is no small matter, we need to report it to the Lord County Magistrate. Come on, let’s go report it now."
The two men and a dog quickly departed, riding horses to the Government Office to meet with Luo Peiyun.
Inside the study, Luo Peiyun was dealing with official business, with Wen Yuwen attending by his side.
Luo Peiyun raised his eyelids, looked at Fang Zhixing and Ding Zhigang, and asked in astonishment, "What’s the matter?"
Fang Zhixing elaborated.
As soon as he finished, Ding Zhigang immediately said, "I have been negligent in my duties, I didn’t expect the traitors to have infiltrated the city. Please punish me, my lord."
Luo Peiyun’s expression remained unchanged, fingers tapping on the table, he asked, "So, you two believe there is a spy within the Government Office, is that correct?"
Ding Zhigang nodded, "Judging from Instructor Fang’s encounter, there must be a spy lurking within the Government Office."
Luo Peiyun nodded slightly, fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you have a way to identify the spy, or catch the culprits who attacked Instructor Fang?"
Ding Zhigang was actually prepared for this, or rather, he had encountered similar incidents before and had ways to deal with them.
