The next day at dawn, the first ray of sunlight pierced through the gap in the curtains, falling on Kou Zhong's bed.
He awoke from his sleep and instinctively reached out to find the warmth beside him, but he found nothing!
Slowly opening his eyes, Kou Zhong discovered that even the residual warmth was gone from the bed.
He was alone in the cold bed.
The room still held the unique fragrance of a woman. Remembering last night's lovemaking, Kou Zhong couldn't help but feel a little unsatisfied...
His brows furrowed slightly, and Kou Zhong instinctively extended his divine sense.
In an instant, it enveloped the entire Double Dragon Gang's stronghold!
He sensed every corner, every breath.
However, Fu Jun A's figure had vanished like vapor, disappearing from his perception!
Kou Zhong couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He quickly got dressed and went outside.
Outside, two maidservants stood, and upon seeing Kou Zhong emerge, they bowed immediately.
Their voices were clear as they said,
"Greetings, Great Leader!"
Then, one of them softly said,
"Miss Fu left a message for you. She has already set out on her mission."
Kou Zhong nodded, understanding.
He couldn't help but chuckle a little. Fu Jun A was probably trying to avoid him!
It was understandable. Perhaps she didn't know how to face their relationship...
But, he didn't mind!
After all, he wanted both the throne and the beauty! He waved at the two maidservants and walked towards the quiet room.
The two maidservants watched Kou Zhong leave and couldn't help but whisper to each other,
"Did you see Miss Fu's attire today? Even more alluring!"
"Yes, a blend of grace and tenderness. It must have been from last night with the Great Leader..."
"Hmm, they seem to be getting sweeter and sweeter."
"But why did Miss Fu leave so early?"
"Let's not gossip. We should go in and tidy up!"
As Kou Zhong walked towards the quiet room, members and subordinates of the gang greeted him with cheers.
His figure stood tall in the morning sunlight.
At that moment, a gang member ran towards him with a happy expression, kneeling on one knee.
He loudly reported,
"Reporting to the Great Leader, Second Leader has sent good news!"
"The Bamboo Flower Gang's influence in Yangzhou has been completely eliminated!"
"Other large and small forces are being steadily subdued!"
Kou Zhong nodded calmly, waving the gang member to retreat.
Then, he walked into the quiet room, closed the door, and isolated himself from the outside world.
He began to ponder his next course of action.
But before that, he needed to improve his strength!
Deep down, Kou Zhong understood that improving his strength was crucial to his position in the martial world and his expansion of power!
After all, the size of his power was ultimately based on his personal strength!
If he himself wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't be able to truly intimidate his subordinates!
Let alone expanding his power in a world where heroes were vying for dominance!
In the quiet room, Kou Zhong took out several Golden Marrow Pills.
He prepared to sit cross-legged, adjust his breath, and immerse himself in cultivation.
However, just as he was about to begin cultivating, a crisp prompt echoed in his mind:
【Ding! Congratulations, host, for subduing the local forces in Yangzhou, successfully acquiring inheritance progress!】
【Successfully obtained inheritance reward: Longchun Gong (Eternal Spring Skill) six to thirteen layers of cultivation manual (including spells)！】
Kou Zhong's face immediately lit up with joy. He stood up from where he was sitting, filled with delight!
This was truly a pleasant surprise!
Not only did he obtain the complete manual for "Longchun Gong," it also included several spells!
He wondered what kind of spells they were. After silently requesting the reward in his mind, the subsequent cultivation manual for Longchun Gong, along with the names and descriptions of several spells, flooded into his mind!
Fire Bullet Technique, Wind Riding诀, Item Manipulation Technique, Heavenly Eye Technique!
These spells were genuine Immortal Cultivation techniques!
Among them, the Fire Bullet Technique was incredibly powerful, containing terrifying heat.
It was even said to be indestructible, capable of burning anything!
It could easily burn through ordinary iron in the mortal world!
Even large bodies of water could be ignited by the fireballs as if they were oil, without being suppressed by the water itself!
Wind Riding诀 was an auxiliary technique.
Although it could only be used on the caster themselves...
After using it, the caster would be as light as a feather!
With a slight touch of their toes to the ground, they could leap back several meters!
Unlike the Luoyan 步, which required the expenditure of a lot of energy to achieve acceleration, Wind Riding诀 only consumed a small amount of mana to allow for free running!
It would only stop when the spellcasting ended, turning people into light skill masters!
As its name suggests, the Item Manipulation Technique involves controlling and manipulating objects through incantations and hand gestures.
Moreover, this technique wasn't like the mortal world, where it could only control specific items of Immortal Cultivators!
In the description of this technique that Kou Zhong obtained, it seemed that it could even control ordinary furniture and common things like swords!
But it would consume more mana. If it were items specific to Immortal Cultivators, it would consume less mana!
The Heavenly Eye Technique was a simple trick that used mana on the eyes.
It was an auxiliary technique used to observe whether someone's body contained mana or had attached spells!
Kou Zhong calmed his excited spirit. His current cultivation was only at the fourth layer of Longchun Gong!
It was too early for him to practice spells!
The most important thing was to improve his cultivation realm!
He sat cross-legged again, adjusting his breath and began practicing the manual for Longchun Gong...
…
In the backyard by the lake of the Double Dragon Gang's stronghold, a gentle breeze rustled the willow branches.
The branches lightly brushed against the calm surface of the lake, creating ripples in small circles.
The scenery by the lake was tranquil and peaceful, as if time had frozen here!
Amidst this tranquility, a tall man in black and white martial arts attire stood quietly by the shore.
His posture was straight like a pine tree, and his gaze was deep as a pond.
The man's face was handsome and domineering, with slanted eyebrows.
His star-like eyes revealed an unyielding determination.
Suddenly, he raised his right hand and held up a finger.
His expression was focused, and his gaze was sharp!
He was completely focused on his fingertip!
"Zzzt!"
A light sound echoed, as if something in the air had been ignited!
Small sparks flickered on his fingertip, and the space seemed to warp slightly!
A walnut-sized, crimson fireball appeared out of thin air on his fingertip!
The fireball seemed small!
But it contained incredible heat!
The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by its heat, and the temperature rose sharply!
The man stood firm!
The fireball burned fiercely on his fingertip, emitting a heart-stopping burning sound!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment...
The fireball burned on the man's fingertip for half a stick of incense.
But it showed no sign of extinguishing!
Until fine beads of sweat appeared on the man's forehead!
His face showed a hint of fatigue that was barely noticeable.
The fireball on his fingertip began to tremble slightly!
As the fireball fluctuated in size and brightness, the man's eyes became even more serious, and his face turned red with strain.
Finally, he flicked his finger!
The fireball flew out, heading towards the lake in front of him!
The fireball drew a trail of fire in the air, as if melting!
It silently plunged into the water beneath the lake...
"Glug..."
However, after the fireball entered the water, except for the steaming bubbles.
Everything seemed to return to calm.
But a moment later, a low hum came from the bottom of the lake!
Then.
"Boom!" with a loud bang!
Large portions of the lake water suddenly burned and collapsed, as if sucked away by an invisible hand.
A huge whirlpool instantly appeared on the surface of the lake!
Large portions of the lake water rapidly evaporated, turning into water vapor and disappearing!
The charred lake bottom below was revealed!
The air was filled with the smell of burnt earth!
The surrounding lake water rushed towards the void!
It formed a huge vortex, filling the missing lake water!
The man on the shore looked at the destruction caused by the Fire Bullet Technique with satisfaction and let out a sigh.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little tired.
This man was Kou Zhong, who had finished practicing the Fire Bullet Technique!
Three months flew by...
He had broken through to the eighth layer of the Longchun Gong manual!
His mana reserves had made a qualitative leap!
And he had mastered the Fire Bullet Technique among the several spells!
He had tried to practice the Fire Bullet Technique in the quiet room.
But after nearly setting the entire room on fire, he came to this lakeside.
You could see that the open ground behind him was covered in scorch marks.
There were also large pits and charred trees that had fallen!
Kou Zhong couldn't help but sigh, spells were still difficult to master!
As he thought about going back to solidify his skills, he felt an anomaly in his divine sense!
He concentrated and released his divine sense, exploring the canal in that direction!
Then, he sneered and said,
"It seems a rat has come knocking..."
