Chapter 106 The Immense Strength of 120,000 Jin
Return to the town of Zhenhunsi.
Old Tang counted the number of people and found that no one had died, only three were injured.
"Let's call it a day. I'll let you know if there's anything important."
"Yes," the crowd responded and dispersed.
Upon returning home, Lin Qing, with a thought, directly absorbed Song Heilong's remnant soul.
Many images flashed through his mind, which were memories of Song Heilong's entire life.
When Song Heilong was young, he was from Meng County in eastern Sichuan. He had seven brothers and sisters. Later, he suffered a great disaster. He forcibly killed a wealthy family in the county and seized their rice and grain. Later, his deeds were exposed, and he fled thousands of miles away, finally settling in the prefectural city.
After that, Song Heilong went into hiding, mingling with various gangs in the prefectural city, and also gained the opportunity to learn martial arts.
He was quick-witted and had remarkable martial arts talent, which allowed him to quickly stand out.
After that, Song Heilong established his own gang, during which time he committed arson, murder, robbery, and all sorts of evil deeds.
Because the prefectural city was too large for the government offices to manage, they turned a blind eye to gang feuds.
As long as things didn't escalate, no one cared if someone in the gang died. Therefore, Song Heilong lived peacefully in this world, and the gang grew bigger and bigger.
Later, Song Heilong somehow came into contact with the Yin Yuan Sect and became an external member.
He then secretly searched for a baby for Deng Qianyu until he was targeted by Wang Ling and ultimately met a violent end.
When the image faded, Lin Qing opened his eyes, and his first thought was that this person's death was not unjust.
In just three months, no fewer than forty children were abducted and sent to the Yin Yuan Sect headquarters outside the city.
And this is only what he remembers; there are probably many more he hasn't seen.
"A person who will stop at nothing to become stronger, who has no sense of morality whatsoever, even if he gains great power? He is nothing but a demon in human skin, and he will cause more innocent people to die. Such a person must die; living is ultimately a scourge," Lin Qing murmured.
"The Luo family? A spirit summoning ritual?" Lin Qing thought of other scenes, which contained a lot of valuable information.
First, the Luo family also secretly colluded with the Yin Yuan Sect, providing them with money, women, and infants.
Secondly, the Yin Yuan Sect has been collecting infants recently in order to set up a spirit-summoning ritual, which allows the spirit-devouring demon to briefly possess a martial artist, greatly increasing the latter's strength, but their mind will be completely controlled by the evil spirit.
"These two things need to be reported as soon as possible." Lin Qing's expression was solemn, and a strong sense of life and death crisis arose in his heart.
He had also heard of events related to spirit possession, where evil spirits roamed the human world, devouring flesh and blood, and no one could stop them.
Every séance is accompanied by a disaster, resulting in the deaths of anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people.
For example, in Dongyin County of Shu, a demon was born due to a spirit-summoning ritual, which devoured the entire population of the county. It was only when experts from the Imperial Capital's Soul Suppression Division arrived that the demon was finally killed.
"If an evil spirit were to descend upon the world, the Soul Suppressing Division would be completely unprepared, and the consequences would be unimaginable," Lin Qing murmured.
"Not enough. This world is too chaotic, and my strength is still too weak." A strong desire arose in Lin Qing's heart to become stronger.
The next moment, a lot of information appeared in front of him, all of which were Song Heilong's martial arts skills during his lifetime.
Lin Qing chose to replicate one of the martial arts techniques, which he named the Mountain-Crushing Fist.
This martial art is the Embracing Dan Strength training method, a high-quality third-tier skill, a unique martial art of wandering martial artists. One can enter the Embracing Dan Strength upon first learning it, and upon reaching perfection, it can accommodate up to six kinds of strength. The strength it unleashes is called Mountain-Crushing Strength, which can gather momentum and strength on the fist. A single punch can kill the enemy's body and also shock their soul.
Compared to the Tathagata Fist Manual, this martial art is quite ordinary. However, Song Heilong, who frequents gangs, has little access to high-quality martial arts, so finding a martial art called Baodan Jin is already extremely difficult.
However, even though the quality is ordinary, it is still at the Core Formation Realm level. After replicating the equipment, Lin Qing will still receive a significant boost.
Moreover, Song Heilong doesn't have any high-value talent attributes, so he can only learn the Mountain-Crushing Fist.
With this in mind, Lin Qing added the Great Perfection Mountain-Crushing Fist to his equipment inventory.
In an instant, the blood and qi surged and rushed towards a certain acupoint on the back.
The first, second, third, and fourth impacts finally opened the acupoints, and a surge of energy rushed out, flowing throughout the body, nourishing the limbs and bones, and causing a physical transformation.
Lin Qing felt his blood and qi being consumed rapidly, but his physical strength also increased dramatically, and the power in his arms surged.
He swallowed three Qi-replenishing pills in a row before his depleted Qi and blood were replenished, and the feeling of weakness subsided.
As time passed, this force suddenly converged towards the dantian, determined to condense into a pill.
However, the Tathagata Fist Sutra was of such high quality that it suddenly absorbed this force.
About an hour later, the transformation ended. Lin Qing calmly felt the changes in his body and realized that his strength had increased by another 20,000 jin.
Moreover, the Tathagata Force in the dantian has been integrated with the Mountain-Crushing Force, greatly increasing its strength. On the panel, the Tathagata Fist Scripture practice method has progressed from beginner to minor mastery.
Lin Qing got up first and took a hot shower, then went out into the courtyard and suddenly threw a punch, creating a gust of wind that swept up fallen leaves all over the ground.
"This punch has the force of 120,000 jin. Ordinary martial artists at the Core Formation stage simply cannot withstand it. They would probably die if they were hit by just one punch!" Lin Qing was extremely confident.
Compared to an hour ago, he felt that his combat power had increased by at least 30%. His physique had improved, and his energy level had also increased. The combination of the two had greatly increased his combat power.
The next day.
Lin Qing arrived at Huxiao Hall for his routine report, and Tang Ping gathered everyone together.
"Yesterday, in the battle at Wanghai Restaurant, many members of our team performed exceptionally well. Among them, the most outstanding was Lin Qing, who killed Song Heilong and was awarded a reward of a thousand taels of silver and a first-class merit."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Lin Qing, their eyes filled with envy and admiration.
"Brother Lin has only been with the Soul Suppression Division for three months and he's already earned a first-class merit award. He's truly the envy of everyone!"
"Yes, Brother Lin is indeed very strong. Killing Song Heilong was like killing a chicken. I admire you!"
"Wow, Brother Lin Qing is amazing!" Lin Shurou said with a smile.
Lin Qing remained calm, thinking to himself that he had passed the test this time.
The merits of the Soul Suppressing Division are divided into four grades, with Grade A being equivalent to three times Grade B and nine times Grade C.
The vast majority of constables would not receive a first-class merit even once in ten years in the Soul Suppression Division, which shows how difficult it was.
According to the rules, one must kill an important leader of the Yin Yuan Sect; both strength and luck are indispensable.
As for the highest-ranking merit, which is above Grade A, it can only be awarded to those who save the Soul Suppressing Division and even the entire Ishikawa Prefecture in a life-or-death crisis. It has only happened once in the entire history of the prefecture, and it is extremely rare.
While merit points cannot be converted into actual benefits, they can be used to advance one's rank.
For example, second-class and third-class servants can be promoted one rank immediately after obtaining a first-class merit, while first-class servants have the opportunity to compete for servant positions.
"Wei Dong, Luo Baiwan, and Song Jinhe, you three are hereby awarded a Class B Merit."
"Wang Dong, Nie Xiaoxin—you nine people have been awarded Class C Merit twice."
"The remaining individuals will be awarded a Class C Merit!"
"The Soul Suppression Division has posted notices detailing the merits and reasons for those who participated in this mission. If you have any objections, you can go to the Shenxing Hall of the Soul Suppression Division to check!" Tang Ping announced loudly.
