Shang Zhen Complex

After resting for an hour or so, Ning Qi's body calmed down from all that stimulation. He slowly sat up in the lotus position.

"Let's start practicing the endless fist technique. Hopefully, it won't be like the divine strengthening technique."

Ning Qi commented to himself. But soon he shook his head and thought he was being nonsensical.

"Even if it is as painful as the divine strengthening technique, I must practice it. System!! Transfer me the knowledge of Endless Fist Technique."

Ning Qi encouraged himself before commanding the system.

[Ding! The host doesn't have to worry about that. This technique is purely dependent on comprehending the flow of energy according to patterns, just like the first part of the divine strengthening technique.]

The system reminded Ning Qi of the technique as it passed it to him. And also, it looks like the system is quite happy with Ning Qi not giving up on the last refinement of its message tone. But, of course, the same mechanical and emotionless voice still speaks to him.

"Hm! To reach the first level, the first step is to guide the spiritual energy through three different meridians to my hand. The second step is to open their corresponding pressure points, the hand valley point, the inner gate point, and the outer gate point. Then the final step is to merge those three separate patterns of spiritual energy into one before covering it with your fist, right?"

Ning Qi quickly analyzed the first level and asked the system for confirmation, even though he understood it perfectly.

[Ding! It is as the host comprehended. When using this first technique for the first time, the patterns will only land a normal hit on the enemy. Their other function, on the other hand, is to channel spiritual energy into their patterns in order to boost their strength by 50%.]

System explained to Ning Qi in an even more detailed manner how this technique works, making him wonder who created such a technique. But a doubt aroused in Ning Qi, and he couldn't hold back from asking.

"System! Why are there such restrictions as only being able to hold it for 10 seconds on the first level and corresponding time limits on other levels?"

[Ding! With three pressure points in the first level, the patterns created by the user will only have a life span of 10 seconds. The next corresponding levels need users to open more pressure points at each level to sustain their life span for more time. The final level needs the user to open the Heart 7 pressure point, which can create a more sturdy pattern than all other patterns. It will serve as a base pattern, and the patterns' ability to strengthen themselves will increase as well.]

The system has been explained clearly, to which Ning Qi nodded his head as he gained a certain understanding.

"Then, why do users need to continuously hit the enemy without missing?" Ning Qi decided to ask the final question, which he needs a bit of clearance on.

[All of the patterns of this technique can only use one familiar spiritual energy to strengthen themselves for the first time. If the user were to miss the hit, the fist would land in space, which has a multitude of energies, or on a different person, whose spiritual energy would be different from the first person's. Either case leads to the dispersal of patterns, and the user needs to start from the start.]

"Why does this technique feel a bit lively to me? Those are the kinds of babies that only drink one type of milk. If they miss the milk a single time or drink some other milk, they will die of 'Poison'."

Ning Qi commented to himself as he wondered who was able to create such a powerful yet powerless technique. He shook his head, as that wouldn't help him in any manner, before deciding to concentrate on practicing it.

Soon, Ning Qi went into a fully concentrated mode as he comprehended the technique.

Outside Shang Zhen Solutions, many people crowded, and six or seven goons along with a rich man could be seen in front of them.

This group is opposed by a group of four people. Two men and two beautiful ladies with deep frowns on their faces.

"What? Now, you don't have the guts to be cocky? Why don't you curse like last time, Missy?" The wealthy, middle-aged man spoke quickly.

"Don't you think you're going overboard, Mr? If you don't go now, we will have to call the police." The strong-looking young man took the hand of the girl, who had been singled out, and said.

The man and woman are Li Ping and Jia Li. The other woman is Yi Ran, while the other person is their colleague. They were just about to go into their office, Shang Zhen Solutions, when they were stopped by this group of goons.

"Oh, my God! Let's run away from here quickly. This brat is going to call the police..." That Kuang guy acted exaggeratedly, making the goons laugh along with him.

Li Ping's face turned solemn, while their other colleague slowly separated himself from their team.

Yi Ran gave him a dissatisfied look, but she didn't say anything because that is a normal reaction from anyone unless they are very close to each other.

"Alright brat! You can call the police or do whatever you want. But today, I will definitely break the legs of all of you... Of course, there is another option... Hehe."

That guy looked at Jia Li and Yi Ran lewdly as he laughed wretchedly.

"You are looking for death!" Li Ping flared up at this guy's lewd thoughts about his girl and his buddy's 'girl'.

"Don't bark in front of my boss, or else I will break that third leg of yours first thing."

One of the punks, whose hair is completely yellow, came in front of Li Ping and said.

Li Ping was startled because he is not someone who lives on the streets and fights every day. But he didn't step back, as that would make them even more fierce.

"Alright! Step back, Gong..." As he saw that fellow ready to beat Li Ping, that Kuang guy said.

"I will give you guys 10 minutes. By then, I want that brat here, or I'm going to slap this guy for every minute that goes by."

Kuang Guy threatened as he looked at Yi Ran. His main target is obviously Ning Qi, who embarrassed him.

Yi Ran paused briefly before taking her phone, as she had a message in mind telling her that Ning Qi is capable of resolving this better than being humiliated like this.

"No, Yi Ran! Don't drag him into this mess. Just call the police first." Li Ping said as he looked at her.

"Jia Jia! Call the security of our building here and tell them that someone is creating trouble at the entrance gate."

Li Ping said to scare this group a bit. But he knows that those in charge of security are already aware of this and have taken precautions to avoid this "disaster."

Jia Li took her mobile a bit shakily, as she is immensely frightened by what is happening. She never thought that such a simple quarrel would lead to such a big mess.

On the other hand, Yi Ran opened her mobile, hesitating whether to call the police or Ning Qi. But something is screaming inside her that the police are going to be no help and that Ning Qi will be their best bet.

She quickly decided to call Ning Qi first and then the police. But as she dialed his number, no one picked up instantly, making her worries grow. She again dialed, but there was still no reply from the other side.

She felt her palms getting sweaty with the tension building up in her. She felt a bit lost at Ning Qi not taking her call in such a dire situation.

"Five minutes left! Hehe"

That goon with yellow hair laughed as he rubbed his hands as though getting ready for fun.

[Receiving multiple calls from the loved one, 'Yi Ran'... Analyzing the situation from another side... The situation is analyzed, and a bit of trouble is found... As the host is currently fully immersed in cultivation... Dispatching assistance from sect disciples... connecting with disciple Nangong Xu... ]

The system notification arrived, but as he had previously stated, it does not bother Ning Qi unless absolutely necessary.

Nangong Xu, Shen Yue, and Kang Xuan just got their breakfast delivered. They comfortably sat down to savor it. As soon as he put the first bite in his mouth, his mobile phone rang, and the number was from Ning Qi.

It confused them a bit, as they knew Ning Qi was just down on the first floor. They exchanged a brief glance before Nangong Xu hurriedly took the call.

"Xu! My friends are in trouble at Shang Zhen Complex in the Xuifeng district. You need to go there and save them within the next five minutes. Alright, I'm busy... I hope you can perfectly complete this. One of my friend's name is Li Ping!"

A voice came from the other side, which is actually their sect master's voice. But it kind of lacks something they can't point out.

Nangong Xu then gave a look at his phone, which already got disconnected.Then at Shen Yue and Kang Xuan, and finally at breakfast, before his figure vanished from that location.

"Alright! You both stay here, let me go and see what's happening there."

After he disappeared from there, a voice from the two of them, who were also about to move, instantly stopped them in their tracks.
