Chapter 30

"Is it the people from the Katori Sect again?" Wei Hexin's heart stirred, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"At this time, hiding near my house, even if they're not bad people, they must have evil intentions. I'll beat them to death first!"

He suddenly turned around and fiercely punched the two men in the back.

This sudden turn and attack from behind caught them off guard. The two men, who didn't know him, were just walking along, never expecting a random passerby to suddenly attack them.

Moreover, the two were just ordinary members of the Katori Sect, with much slower reaction times.

There were two muffled thuds as Wei Hexin's punches sent them to the ground, their spines broken.

Their bodies twisted into strange angles, and they were about to scream.

Two crisp cracks, and Wei Hexin stepped up, stomping on their faces, forcing the screams back into their throats.

His face remained calm as he applied more force with his feet.

Two more crisp cracks, and the two men fell silent.

Wei Hexin dragged their bodies to the river outside the wall, threw them into a pile of dry reeds, then took a straw hat, put it on, and headed in the direction Xu Wei had left.

He ran at full speed, recalling Xu Wei's strength and reaction, and without hesitation, he pierced and exploded the Breakthrough Pearl in his chest.

Instantly, a large amount of hot blood surged into his body, his muscles rapidly swelled and filled with blood, his skin appeared to be covered in tiny blood spots, and his fists gradually turned a dull, grayish-white, like rock.

In just a few breaths, Wei Hexin's body had grown a size larger.

His blood flowed vigorously and powerfully.

His eyes filled with more killing intent, and his speed increased as he dashed into the alley and disappeared.

Xu Wei was leaning against the wall, waiting for the sect members to call other leaders to deal with Wei Hexin.

Suddenly, he heard faint footsteps and looked up.

"Already here so soon?" He was puzzled and looked toward the alley entrance.

But what he saw was the towering figure of Wei Hexin approaching quickly.

He hesitated slightly. The man approaching was dressed similarly to the Wei Hexin he had just seen, in common gray trousers and a long coat, but his build was completely different, and he wore a wide-brimmed straw hat, a standard accessory of the Katori Sect.

"May I ask which leader has come to assist?" He clasped his hands and asked.

The man reached up and pulled off the straw hat.

The moment the face was revealed:

Puff!

A handful of quicklime was thrown in his face.

Xu Wei, caught off guard, reacted quickly, raising his hands to cover his eyes and taking several steps back, but his eyes were still hit, causing a burning sensation that blurred his vision.

"You!"

His blood surged, and he felt a fierce wind coming from in front. He closed his eyes and struck forward with the Black Lotus Palm to block the attack.

But as soon as he struck, he felt something was wrong. His right palm hit a sharp, pointed object.

He grunted, and his palm was immediately pierced and bled.

"You!!" He was shocked and angry, about to shout for help. But as soon as he opened his mouth, another handful of quicklime was thrown, most of it landing in his face and mouth.

"I...!!" Xu Wei was in agony, his words muffled, and he swung his palm forward again.

Unfortunately, he hit the same sharp object again.

Sss! Sss! Sss!

Three consecutive strikes, all hitting the sharp object, made Xu Wei's palm numb and lose sensation. He was terrified and tried to run.

Puff!

A fist slammed into the back of his head, knocking him to the ground, unconscious.

Wei Hexin stepped forward, familiarly stomping on his neck and twisting it.

Crack.

It was a perfect finish.

Clap, clap, clap...

A faint applause came from the alley entrance.

"Good skills." A man stood at the entrance, looking at Wei Hexin.

"You are ruthless and decisive, truly swift and decisive in your actions."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Hexin, who had been not far away, suddenly pounced and punched him in the face.

The man was shocked, trying to block with his hand and retreat.

But it was too late. The punch, with the power of twice the blood flow, hit his arm like a hammer, making a cracking sound.

The man screamed and fell backward, about to shout, but it was too late.

Wei Hexin stepped forward and kicked him in the side of the head.

Thud. His head snapped, his eyes wide open, and he died with a look of disbelief.

Wei Hexin quickly dragged the two bodies to the place where he had disposed of the others, throwing them into the Feiye River from the dry reeds.

The Feiye River was a large river, though it was now quite dry, the current was still swift, and the bodies quickly disappeared.

It was an excellent place to dispose of evidence.

After finishing the cleanup, Wei Hexin slowly returned to his courtyard.

The last man, if not for his keen eyesight, which noticed the man's trembling legs and the fine sweat on his forehead, might have been fooled by his calm demeanor.

Unfortunately... after breaking through to the Rock Skin stage, his senses had become more acute, and his natural caution prevented him from being easily deceived.

The man probably realized he couldn't escape and decided to pretend to be a high-level person, not from the Katori Sect, to trick him with words.

Unfortunately, he was too naive...

After finishing everything, Wei Hexin slowly returned to the courtyard.

Wei Ying had been drawn out by the commotion and was standing in the yard, holding a stick, on guard.

Seeing Wei Hexin enter from the side door, she immediately relaxed.

"Xiao He, where were you just now? I heard noises outside and was scared. I wanted to find you, but I couldn't see anyone."

Wei Ying relaxed and quickly approached.

Suddenly, she noticed spots of blood on Wei Hexin's shirt.

"Oh, you have blood on you!?"

She was shocked.

Wei Hexin remained calm, pinching his nose hard.

"It's just a nosebleed... uh..." He tilted his head back, letting a little blood drip from his nostrils.

"Oh, you really had a nosebleed. How...!" Wei Ying was immediately worried.

"Wait, I'll get something to stop it." She quickly turned to find something to block his nose.

After a flurry of activity, she quickly plugged Wei Hexin's nostrils and sighed in relief.

"How did you get a nosebleed? Could it be because the weather is too dry?"

She thought about stewing some cooling food for her brother tomorrow, as the dry weather might be causing the nosebleed.

Wei Hexin sat down, feeling the effects of breaking through to the Rock Skin stage and the second blood flow breakthrough.

His blood flowed vigorously, and his body seemed to be transforming constantly, becoming more robust under the influence of the increased blood flow.

His body capacity was greater, his skin tougher, his explosive power stronger, his senses sharper, and his body lighter.

'This is the feeling of breaking through...?' He pulled down his collar, looking at the now empty Breakthrough Pearl pattern.

The second time the Breakthrough Pearl was emptied left him with a sense of emptiness.

'I was planning to try to break through slowly... but unfortunately... the world doesn't allow it...'

He sighed in his heart.

The next morning.

He got up early and headed to the Huishan Boxing Academy.

He had no intention of hiding his strength as a trump card. The more potential he showed, the more resources he would receive.

Continuously hiding his strength would not provide the necessary nutrition for his growth and development.

With a creak, he pushed open the door.

Wei Hexin saw Li Jue and two other disciples already there, moving their training equipment.

He helped for a moment, then looked around for Cheng Shaojiu and Ouyang Zhuang.

Unfortunately, he had arrived too early.

Cheng Shaojiu hadn't arrived yet, and Ouyang Zhuang was probably on leave or working part-time.

Zheng Lao had led a team to a boxing match a few days ago and was likely to return slowly, not arriving until mid-morning.

Wei Hexin rested for a moment. Since no one was around, he didn't waste time and immediately started training.

It wasn't that he wanted to show off, but after breaking through to the Rock Skin stage, the subsequent training methods, blood flow enhancement techniques, and skin toughening methods were different.

He needed to inform Zheng Lao to get the next stage of training methods.

So unless he wanted to stagnate, he had to tell Zheng Lao about his progress.

At this time, Cheng Shaojiu had no time to deal with other matters.

He was facing off with his uncle over family issues.

Cheng Zhengxing, the head of the Yonghe Escort Agency and Cheng Shaojiu's uncle, had no children and treated Cheng Shaojiu like his own.

Usually, the young master of the escort agency could do as he pleased, even supporting some idle people, without any objections.

When business was good and money was plentiful, supporting a few idle people was no big deal.

But now that the escort agency's business was not as good as before, Cheng Shaojiu was still bringing in his friends to support them.

Calling it a matter of righteousness was a bit excessive.

Cheng Zhengxing had already argued with Cheng Shaojiu multiple times about this, but the young man wouldn't listen.

In the main hall of the Yonghe Escort Agency.

Cheng Zhengxing tried to be stern, but facing his only nephew, he couldn't muster the harshness.

"Shaojiu, the escort agency's business is not good. You should understand the family's situation. The friends you've recommended are a significant expense for the agency every month," Cheng Zhengxing said earnestly.

"Uncle, I've already sent away Zhou San and others. I've sent away many people. The ones left are my true brothers. If I send them away now
