Spending twelve skill points, the Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Horizontal Training was raised to minor accomplishment, bringing another comprehensive enhancement to Gu Chen's physical body.
After a long while, the golden light faded, and Gu Chen opened his eyes, at this moment, even his pupils flickered with specks of golden radiance.
After sensing his body's condition, Gu Chen frowned slightly. Despite the Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Horizontal Training reaching minor accomplishment, he still felt a faint sensation of swelling pain in his body, and his meridians were not as before. After enhancement, he couldn't just enhance his cultivation again.
"It seems that sixty-one meridians are indeed the limit at my current stage," Gu Chen pondered.
Of course, if Gu Chen was willing to invest more, raising the Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Horizontal Training to perfection, perhaps he could continue enhancing his cultivation.
But one must know, this was a superior martial art. Just raising it to minor accomplishment had already cost Gu Chen a total of twenty-eight skill points. The points needed to achieve perfection would only be higher.
At this moment, the remaining skill points on Gu Chen's panel were insufficient. Even if he forced the Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Horizontal Training to perfection, it might not be enough for him to enhance his power.
Therefore, after pondering, Gu Chen decided to first raise the level of the Seal Meridian Finger, which was among the three martial arts.
After all, having sufficient cultivation level but lacking corresponding martial arts would make it difficult to perfectly utilize one's power.
As soon as Gu Chen's thought moved, eleven skill points disappeared, and Seal Meridian Finger was directly elevated to minor accomplishment.
Next, Gu Chen followed the same process, enhancing both the Phantom Traceless Step and the Astonishing Swan Swordsmanship Skills to the minor accomplishment stage as well.
In an instant, twenty-two skill points disappeared, and a torrent of martial art experience flooded into his mind, all belonging to the three aforementioned martial arts.
Name: Gu Chen
Martial Arts: Dragon Roar Tiger Howl Horizontal Training (Minor Accomplishment), Red Flame Palm (Perfection), Seal Meridian Finger (Minor Accomplishment), Phantom Traceless Step (Minor Accomplishment), Astonishing Swan Swordsmanship Skills (Minor Accomplishment)
Internal Skills: Pure Yang Technique
Cultivation: 201 years
Realm: Later Stage of Meridian Unblocking Realm
Skill Points: 8
As the Phantom Traceless Step reached minor accomplishment, Gu Chen immediately felt a lightness in his legs. Although he had already unblocked the meridians in his legs, with the step technique at minor accomplishment, Gu Chen's speed had at least doubled from before.
Looking at the remaining eight skill points on his panel, Gu Chen considered for only a moment before arriving at a decision. He spent the last eight skill points to raise the level of Astonishing Swan Swordsmanship Skills to major accomplishment.
Jing Tian Department differed from Mingjing Department in that it was not located in just one place. Within the thirteen provinces of Da Xia, excluding Shen Zhou's Tiandu, every province had a branch of the Jing Tian Department.
Due to the vastness of the nine provinces and the ever-increasing danger of demons and ghosts, the Jing Tian Department had established branches in each province of Da Xia, enabling them to suppress any trouble on the rivers and lakes with the utmost speed.
All matters related to the rivers and lakes that occurred in Shen Zhou were managed by the Tiandu Jing Tian Department.
Every commander-level figure within the Jing Tian Department had their own independent office space. Following what Chen Yu had said, Gu Chen arrived outside a certain pavilion.
The large doors of the pavilion were wide open. Gu Chen glanced around and, seeing no one, walked in unassumingly.
All along the way, Gu Chen didn't come across a single soul. Just as he wondered if Chen Yu really had no subordinates other than himself, stepping into the main hall, he saw two figures cracking melon seeds and sipping tea in leisure.
"May I ask how to address the two of you? I am a third-rank Metropolitan Procurator, Gu Chen."
After entering, Gu Chen greeted first. Just like patrolling officers, Metropolitan Procurators were also divided into three ranks, with first-rank being the highest and third-rank the lowest.
Above a first-rank Metropolitan Procurator would then be a commander.
The two individuals who were eating melon seeds and drinking tea in the hall, one with a handsome appearance and a slim physique, his face bearing a smile, and the other more serious with a burly build and a mustache, were both around the age of twenty-one or twenty-two.
"Is something the matter?" The handsome-looking Metropolitan Procurator asked with some confusion.
"Commander Chen sent for me. Here are my orders," Gu Chen said, showing them the relevant orders and his waist token.
"Ah, a colleague! Please, have a seat." Realizing the situation, the handsome Metropolitan Procurator's face lit up with a smile. "Let me introduce ourselves. My name is Song Yu, and this big fellow is Wang Yan. From now on, we will be colleagues."
The burly and somewhat stern-faced Wang Yan also nodded at Gu Chen in greeting.
"It's nothing, don't mind him, he's just like that. Not old, yet he insists on acting all mature and steady, who knows for whom," Song Yu said with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan immediately gave him a stern glance. Gu Chen could tell that the relationship between the two was quite good.
"Please, take a seat."
Song Yu gestured for Gu Chen to sit down, and then, together, the three of them chatted while cracking melon seeds.
It turned out that both of them were third-rank Metropolitan Procurators like Gu Chen. Song Yu had joined Chen Yu's ranks a year ago, while Wang Yan had come onboard five months prior.
"It seems our job is quite leisurely?" Having chatted for a while and feeling somewhat acquainted, Gu Chen finally voiced his curiosity.
