Chapter 88: Qi Blast Cannon Fist

Half an hour later, inside the study.

A large amount of clutter in the study had already been cleared out, turning it into a training room. Chen Chong stood at the doorway with his arms crossed, watching Old Xu bustle about in the room.

Now that he had become the Territory’s leader and forcefully taken over the mansion, he naturally no longer needed to hide in the Power Station. So, he directly sent someone to fetch Old Xu and have him set up a current device in his training room for his Electrotherapy training.

And at that moment, Old Xu was drenched in sweat. He ran another wire from the electrical box outside the mansion, then assembled a circuit with a controller.

With a few crackling sounds, he flipped the switch to test it. After confirming there were no issues, Old Xu quickly stood up. His old face wore a dazed expression as he stammered to Chen Chong behind him,

“L-Leader, I’ve set it up according to your requirements. The current can be adjusted freely, just as you wanted…”

In fact, when Chen Chong had launched his sneak attack on the Blood General that morning and the open ground descended into complete chaos, Old Xu had been utterly terrified. He didn’t dare stay long and hurriedly ran back to the Power Station. However, he never expected that just half an hour later, he would hear the news that the Blood General was dead and Chen Chong had taken his place. The news left him frozen in shock and disbelief.

A laborer on night watch had killed the Blood General and become the new leader of the Territory? It was as if a death row inmate about to be executed had suddenly transformed into a king in the blink of an eye. No one could accept such a change in a short time. Even now, with Chen Chong moving into the mansion and summoning him to lay down circuits, he was still in a daze, feeling as if he were dreaming.

“Alright, Old Xu, you’ve worked hard.”

Looking at Old Xu, whose expression was clearly full of fear and hesitation, Chen Chong patted him on the shoulder and reassured him,

“I’ll have Gu Jun arrange for someone else to take over the night watch at the Power Station. I won’t let you make this trip for nothing. Go to Gu Jun and collect another portion of alcohol, and tell him I said so!”

At the mention of alcohol, Old Xu’s eyes brightened slightly. He rubbed his hands together awkwardly and said, “Thank you, Leader. I only made a small, tiny contribution.”

“Alright, drop the act. I still have matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you.”

Chen Chong waved his hand.

“The Power Station still needs your diligent care. If anything comes up, you can come find me anytime.”

Seeing Chen Chong’s kind attitude, Old Xu felt relieved and quickly retreated.

After Old Xu left, Chen Chong strictly ordered all servants not to disturb him. He closed the door and placed a whole basketful of Spiritual Fruits beside him. Everything was ready.

Aside from having a full meal earlier and spending half a day taking inventory of supplies and understanding the Territory’s situation, Chen Chong did not engage in any pleasure or rest. He immediately prepared to throw himself into the training process.

“With so many Spiritual Fruits, I should be able to completely master the Body Tempering Iron Body very soon!”

Chen Chong quickly listed his existing resources in his mind and made a plan.

“The advancement of the Current Push realm is all about continuously strengthening and refining True Qi, causing the voltage of the generated current within the body to constantly rise, progressing from the basic level of ten thousand volts. With the assistance of Electrotherapy, I can still maintain a rapid increase in power .”

“My only weakness right now should be my combat experience and techniques.”

Chen Chong was very clear-headed. At the Current Push stage, with such a sharp and almost cheating-like auxiliary method as Electrotherapy, his daily True Qi increase was quite considerable. Several days had passed since he achieved Current Push, and his current power level should be more than ten thousand volts, though he hadn’t measured it in detail himself.

The trip to the Base was imminent. Diris was a Transcendent who had unlocked his Gene Lock; the Base’s chief guard, Johnson, had said so himself. However, exactly which level of Transcendent Diris was at was still unclear to Chen Chong, so he needed to make the fullest preparations.

What he considered was that his current advantages lay in the pure and brute force brought by Current Push, and the powerful surface defense provided by the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art. When bullying the weak, these advantages naturally produced overwhelming effects. But against opponents of the same level or even when fighting a stronger foe as the weaker one, the weakness in experience and technique could potentially drag him down.

The thought flashed by, and Chen Chong first connected his mind to the Main God, receiving a feedback message:

Materialization Power Reserve: 1098!

After exchanging for the Muscle and Marrow Cleansing Pill and depleting his Materialization Power Reserve completely, through seven or eight days of training and electrical energy absorption, the Main God’s Materialization Power had recovered to this extent again. It was enough to exchange for one Senzu Bean. And this was one of the bases of confidence that allowed Chen Chong to dare to turn against the Blood General under pressure.

With sufficient Materialization Power, Chen Chong made a decision in his heart and immediately issued an order to the Main God in his mind:

“Translate, Qi Blast Cannon Fist!”

Buzz.

The Main God Light Sphere in his mind seemed to vibrate slightly, and then a large amount of information flooded into Chen Chong’s mind. In an instant, all the fist stances, Qi circulation methods, insights, and key tips regarding the Qi Blast Cannon Fist flowed through Chen Chong’s heart.

After more than ten minutes, having roughly reviewed this information once, Chen Chong found that the principle of this Qi Blast Cannon Fist was not too complicated. The training mainly involved using specific fist stance postures to master unique methods of power generation and Qi circulation, which were then applied in actual combat.

This fist art only had three moves, from low to high: One Cannon Three Sounds, Thunder Cannon Lightning Flash, and Qi Blast Chain Cannon. They were all propelled by True Qi, and their power was extremely violent and fierce. But at the same time, the method of channeling force was also very explosive. A practitioner had to first master the power-generating and Qi-circulating techniques for each move proficiently. Otherwise, the violent Qi circulation in real combat would instead cause considerable harm to the practitioner themselves.

Deeply aware of his limited energy and the pressing time, Chen Chong decided to temporarily only practice the first move of this fist art.

“During the day, I’ll intersperse the training of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art and the Qi Blast Cannon Fist. When night comes, I’ll use Electrotherapy to train the Ultimate Infinite Qigong and temper my True Qi!”

Having made the arrangements in his mind in an instant, Chen Chong reached out with his large hand and grabbed a huge handful of Spiritual Fruits from the basket. He chewed and swallowed them like a glutton and immediately began executing his grand training plan.

…

Night fell, the laborers finished work, and then the sky turned white with the first light of dawn. Everyone had experienced an unforgettable day. Only the corpses hanging from the wooden poles erected in the center of the Territory, their eyes refusing to close in death, reminded people of what drastic changes had occurred yesterday.

Because work was delayed by an hour, the laborers had a rare chance to get sufficient rest that night. While most people were still asleep, the roar of an engine sounded in the Territory. Chen Chong had already led a team of selected henchmen, driving towards the Wilderness.

The place he was going was exactly where the Blood General and Qiao Jun had agreed to pass on messages.
