Chapter 15: Is This Martial Entry-Level Four?
At night, the moonlight was like water, accompanied by a cool night breeze.
As soon as night fell, Xiao Shi felt his body become active and his condition was unprecedentedly good.
The meridians in his body automatically began the first cycle of the Night Tiger.
"Night Tiger's first level can increase my strength by about 30% during the day. If I can cultivate to the second level, I will have a 60% increase. If I cultivate to the third level… my strength at night will be twice as strong as during the day!"
He thought of the punch he had used to kill the prisoner during the day.
Xiao Shi really wanted to know if he cultivated Night Tiger to the third level and struck out such a punch at night, what kind of power would it have? However, Night Tiger's cultivation was much more difficult than the Red Tiger Technique.
When he was cultivating the first level of Night Tiger, Xiao Shi had already experienced it deeply. If he had not taken the Potential Pill, it would have been difficult for him to complete Night Tiger's entry-level cultivation in one night.
As he cultivated Night Tiger to the second level,
Xiao Shi discovered that the difficulty of cultivating the second level was at least ten times harder than the first level. Even with his current aptitude, he kept having problems in his cultivation.
It could not be cultivated in a short period of time.
"Just as I thought!" Xiao Shi was not surprised. From the beginning, he had never planned to place his chips on Night Tiger. He knew that even with his aptitude, it was impossible for him to cultivate Night Tiger to a level that was enough to support him in completing the most difficult mission in three days.
The real way to quickly increase his strength was to kill Martial Entry-Level prisoners.
Thinking of this, the sky brightened.
Xiao Shi stopped Night Tiger's cultivation and went straight to the prison. When he left yesterday, he had told Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan that he wanted to continue looking for prisoners to practice with today.
However, there were not many prisoners in the prison at the moment.
Moreover, the remaining two or three prisoners were not captured by them. The right to deal with them was not in their hands. He had to find the captured night patroller to obtain the right to deal with the prisoners.
In response, Xiao Shi gave them a few pots of wine. The two of them said that they would take the initiative to help Xiao Shi contact the night patroller who had captured the prisoners.
When Xiao Shi arrived at the prison, other than the two of them, there was also a young man.
After a night of contact, he discovered that only one of the night patrollers who had captured these prisoners was still in the Night Patrol Division, which was the young man in front of him. The others were all out on missions.
When the young man heard that Xiao Shi had wine, he immediately agreed. After seeing Xiao Shi, he couldn't wait to ask. "I heard that you have high-quality wine on hand?"
Many people had the habit of drinking in high-risk positions like the night patrol.
Wine could be said to be hard currency here. It was loved by everyone.
Xiao Shi knew the attraction of the wine in his hands. As long as he had this wine in hand, he would be able to find people to do things in the Night Patrol Division.
After taking out a pot of wine and handing it to the young man, the young man only took a sip and was immediately intoxicated by the taste of the wine. Without hesitation, he gave Xiao Shi the right to deal with the prisoners.
At the same time, he did not forget to remind Xiao Shi.
"This person's cultivation has already reached Martial Entry-Level Six, and he has extremely strong combat ability. He's one of the top experts among Martial Entry-Level Six. Back then, I spent a lot of effort to capture him. Although the strength has decreased after being imprisoned, it's not easy to deal with."
A Martial Entry-Level Six expert? Xiao Shi's heart skipped a beat. He thought that an opponent with such strength shouldn't die from a single punch.
Wang Changhuan and Yang Zhen smiled. "We'll break one of his arms and one of his legs later. This way, even if he's at Martial Entry-Level Six, Junior Brother Xiao can deal with him."
The two of them were clearly worried that Xiao Shi would not be a match for them.
Actually, there was no need. Xiao Shi thought. However, he also knew that with his Level Four Martial Entry-Level cultivation on the surface, defeating the Level Five Martial Entry-Level prisoner yesterday was already his limit.
If he killed this Martial Entry-Level Six prisoner with intact limbs today, there would definitely be a problem.
Therefore, he did not reject the two night patroller's suggestion.
"Thank you, senior brothers."
...
In the cell.
There was a shrill scream. The prisoner in the cell had his limbs broken by Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan.
"I'll leave it to you." Yang Zhen seemed to have a habit of patting people on the shoulder. After patting Xiao Shi's shoulder again, he left the cell with Wang Zhen and closed the iron door.
Xiao Shi looked at the prisoner in front of him who could only move one hand and one foot. He felt that if he used the same playstyle as yesterday, this would definitely be another boring battle.
He thought for a moment.
Although obtaining Martial Entry-Level items was the most important, actual combat experience was also very important. It was a rare opportunity to practice before the mission. There was no need to end the battle with a punch.
He decided not to use Arc Flash anymore. He took a step forward with his left foot and punched forward with his right fist.
Xiao Shi knew very well.
The reason why he could kill the Martial Entry-Level Five prisoner with one punch yesterday was not only because of his strength, but also because of the speed at which he used Arc Flash.
As an Earth-ranked cultivation technique, Arc Flash was extremely fast. Xiao Shi was able to kill the other party before the attack landed, which showed how terrifying his speed was.
Now that Xiao Shi did not use Arc Flash, the prisoner in front of him had time to react. Facing Xiao Shi's punch, he immediately raised his left hand to block it.
The prisoner's eyes were cold. Although he had one hand and one leg broken, he felt that even so, it was enough to deal with a martial artist at Martial Entry-Level Four. At most, he could not kill the other party, but it was more than enough to protect himself.
After all, the difference in cultivation was obvious.
"A Martial Entry-Level Four martial artist can't hurt me at all."
The prisoner was very confident. However, just as his left hand collided with Xiao Shi's fist…
"Huh?"
A shocking force that far exceeded his expectations sent him flying, his back hitting the cell wall heavily. His entire left hand was in so much pain that he felt like his bones were about to crack.
"This… This is the strength of a Level Four Martial Entry-Level martial artist??" The prisoner was stunned.
However, Xiao Shi felt that he had controlled his strength just right. He would not have killed someone with a single punch.
"Again!" He stepped forward excitedly, his fists and feet whistling as he launched a round of attacks. Although his attacks were not fast, every time they landed on the prisoner, it made him feel like he had been hit by a huge rock.
He only blocked a few times. He felt that his hand was about to break.
"This is definitely not Martial Entry-Level Four!"
The prisoner's heart went crazy as he felt a huge crisis.
