“Hahaha!”
“What goes around comes around. It’s finally my turn today!”
Su Jingxing laughed out loud.
He had extracted so many function cards and amongst them were also many special ones.
For example.
‘The Life Extension Card, Invisibility Card, Regeneration Card…
These cards each had their own unique features.
However, once this card appeared today, all the previous cards would have to give way.

‘Transcendent Body Card!
‘The card he had extracted from Liu Chenglong’s corpse was actually a Transcendent Body Card!
As the name suggested, it was a functional card that could change one’s physique to break the limits of ordinary human bodies, and undergo a perfect transformation.
As long as he unlocked it, Su Jingxing would immediately become a transcendent body martial artist.
Transcendent body martial artists, bloodline martial artists…
‘These two special types of martial artists were several times stronger than ordinary martial artists.
Every martial artist had their own unique ability.
Take for example, the Golden Chen Family. Once their bloodline power was triggered, their various attributes would increase severalfold.
Su Jingxing had never encountered a transcendent body martial artists before, but he had some understanding of them.
It was a type of powerful martial artist who leaned towards physical constitution.
The physique they possessed were impervious to fire and water, unrestricted in the absorption of worldly energy, either with the strength of Hercules, or tough as steel.
Presently, the Transcendent Body Card in Su Jingxing’s hand had defensive capabilities.
An invincible defense!
Skin, flesh, bones, tendons, blood, and organs, they all possessed terrifying defensive capabilities.
Furthermore, he could undergo nine transformations.
It was unclear what level he would reach after completing nine transformations.
As the Transcendent Body Card would only give him the energy required for the first transformation,
Su Jingxing had to slowly figure out the remaining eight times by himself.
Even so, Su Jingxing was overjoyed.
He quickly got up, went back into the house, and unlocked the Transcendent Body Card.
Swoosh!
Aburst of golden light enveloped Su Jingxing’s entire body.
Magical, powerful, and surging energy invaded his body, but there was no heart-wrenching pain or a numb burning sensation.
It was as if he was soaking in a hot spring. It was warm and comfortable.
Every organ and cell in his body had undergone a qualitative change.
‘When all the sensations were gone and the golden light dissipated, Su Jingxing opened his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in his body.
Strength!
A powerful strength had now appeared in his body.
He had easily broken through the limits of the human body, and his current strength had exceeded 100,000 catties. As for the exact amount, it had to be verified.
However, Su Jingxing was confident that it had exceeded 200,000 catties.
Which means, at the very least, it had doubled!
In addition, his skin seemed to have become tougher, and his eyes seemed to have been enhanced as well.
With a thought.
Whoosh!
Ahazy golden light emerged from his body.
Characteristics of a transcendent body’s activation.
Su Jingxing raised his hands and bumped his arms with each other.
Clang! Clang!
‘The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out.
“Given this toughness, even a treasure weapon wouldn’t be able to break through it.”
Su Jingxing was in awe.
Then, he decisively took out his treasure saber from his palm space and slid it across his hand.
Swish! Swish!
The blade rubbed against his arm, but left no traces.
He exerted a little force, but there was nothing, not even a white mark.
He continued to exert force and slashed at it, but there was no mark.
He added a slash enhanced by true energy, a white mark appeared with a clang, but it quickly disappeared.
Su Jingxing didn’t continue. That was enough.
After some experimentation, he came to a general conclusion.
Once his transcendent body was activated, ordinary treasure weapons would not be able to break through his physical defense.
Even with true energy, if the destructive power of the martial art was lacking, it would still be impossible to breach his defense.
And this was only the result of his first transformation.
If he transformed a few more times, what level of defense would he reach?
Su Jingxing took a deep breath to compose himself.
After stopping the circulation and returning to his normal state, Su Jingxing tried to train himself to see how he could transform a second time.
The test lasted all night.
In the end, Su Jingxing succeeded.
Increase his strength and temper his physique.
In other words, consume Strength Pills!
‘As long as he kept consuming Strength Pills, he could undergo a second, third… and ninth transformation.
Of course, he wasn’t sure how many Strength Pills he would need to consume for each transformation.
Su Jingxing was not ina hurry.
It was as he always said, he had Strength Pills and Essence Energy Pills in great abundance.
He replenished these two items daily.
For that, Su Jingxing was more than relieved.
He made some food for breakfast and popped two Essence Energy Pills into his mouth on the way to the crematorium.
Multi-tasking, he began a new day.
Having not been to the crematorium for a few days, Su Jingxing noticed that everyone he ran into was full of joy as soon as he stepped through the gate.
‘The crematorium that was usually lively was very quiet today as well.
It seemed like there weren’t many corpses to incinerate.
On the way to his office, Su Jingxing bumped into Kong Dabao and asked curiously what had happened.
And it turned out…
“We’re celebrating the new year tomorrow, so of course everyone’s happy,”
said Kong Dabao, grinning from ear to ear. “It’s the new year period, and the troublemakers have lessened are, and so have the number of corpses.”
“Tse,” Su Jingxing was enlightened.
‘The new year was here.
It had been half a year since Su Jingxing transmigrated.
Anew year was coming, no wonder everyone seemed so joyful.
“Happy New Year to you, Captain Little Su,”
Kong Dabao greeted, cupping his fists and grinning.
“Happy New Year to you too, Big Brother Dabao,” Su Jingxing returned the greeting with a smile.
“I remember you’re on your own, aren’t you? If you don’t mind, how about coming over to my place tomorrow night?” Kong Dabao extended an invitation.
“um.”
“Um, of course not,” answered Gu Bo, walking over from a short distance away. “If he’s going anywhere, it’ll be my place. Duoduo has been calling out to me since a long time ago that she wants to spend the new year with Brother Xiaoxing. So, Dabao, you should go play somewhere else.”
“F*ck!”
Kong Dabao’s act failed. He rolled his eyes at Gu Bo irritably and said disdainfully, “Team Leader Gu, what you did wasn’t right. I was the one who invited him first. Way in advance, I’d already…”
“Told Little Su? Who are you kidding?” retorted Gu Bo bluntly. “Little Su didn’t come to the crematorium for the past few days. Who the hell did you invite then?!”
“can’t be bothered to argue with you.”
Kong Dabao pursed his lips and smiled at Su Jingxing. “Captain Little Su, my house will be the liveliest tomorrow night. If you.”
“Go, go, go,” said Gu Bo, nudging him. “Who allowed you to come out and play during work hours?”
“Damn, Team Leader Gu, can you not be so shameless? I just got off work, okay?”
“Even if you’re using your position to get even for a private grudge, that’s now how do it!”
With that, he broke into a run.
When he was far away, he threw Gu Bo another disdainful look.
The sight had the corner of Gu Bo’s lips twitching. Ignoring him, he offered an invitation to Su Jingxing again.
“Tm serious, Little Su. You must come to my place tomorrow night,”
said Gu Bo seriously. “Duoduo said that if you don’t come, she’ll kick me out of the house too!”
“Haha.” Su Jingxing burst out laughing. ‘Alright, I’ll definitely be there tomorrow night.”
“That’s more like it.”
Gu Bo was grinning from ear to ear. “Duoduo has been missing you.”
“T miss her too,” said Su Jingxing, nodding with a smile.
The little girl and himself were indeed quite fated.
1
This was also the reason why he agreed to spend the New Year at Gu Bo’s house.
Even though the new year was coming tomorrow night,
the crematorium was still operating with people on duty.
Of course, Su Jingxing had no say in the matter.
After spending the morning in his office and having lunch, he got ready to go home.
Gu Bo suddenly came knocking on his door and asked if he was free to take on a field mission.
Su Jingxing agreed readily.
Field missions were his favorite.
At the crematorium, most of the cards extracted were repeated.
Only by going on field missions could he possibly encounter all kinds of situations and extract special cards.
This time, Gu Bo’s mission was to head to a Ranch Town that was 20 kilometers north of Qinghe City.
‘The two of them got on the corpse transportation truck and headed straight for their destination with Gu Bo driving.
‘When they arrived at the town, they were greeted at the entrance.
The corpse transportation truck was led to a small building.
“The deceased are a family of three. The cause of death was a type of poisonous mushroom,”
‘The team leader of the Public Security Team of the town, Zhang Shaoyuan, shared.
Beside him were the head of the ranch, doctors, and other personnel.
Gu Bo listened as he took down the information.
This was an necessary process, taking down the identity of the deceased, the cause of death, and even photographs.
Su Jingxing checked the information at the side. After the doctor examined the toxins, he noted down what kind of poisonous mushrooms they were.
He checked everything and they all matched.
In other words, there was no conspiracy in this case.
Still, just in case, Su Jingxing activated his secret ability, Advanced Hearing, and listened to his surroundings.
To his surprise…
“Do you see that? The Corpse Collection Team is here. When they transport the corpses away, they’ll be reduced to ashes latest by this evening. By then, the incident will be resolved completely.”
“‘Tknow.”
“Then what are you afraid of? We’ve been preparing for this for so long, and there’s no turning back. Tonight is our best chance!”
“But..”
“No buts! Remember, they forced us to do this! Do you think I would have agreed to carry out the plan if that Feng guy hadn’t gone into hiding?”
“Don’t forget that you were the one who came up with this solution to replace that Feng fellow at the very beginning! It’s too late for you to regret or be afraid now!”
“What, you got nothing to say now? Shut up if you have nothing to say. Don’t mess up the morale of the troops! Nothing must go wrong with tonight’s operation!”
“Understood. By the way, there are experts in this town. The general of the Prefecture Army, Chu Weiliang, lives in town. He came back two days ago.”
“It’s fine. I’l take care of Chu Weiliang. You guys just have to take care of your tasks.”
“Alright, Ihave no other problems.”
No problem my a*s!
In order to avoid missing out on anything, Secret ability had subconsciously activated his secret ability. In the end, he ended up overhearing a conspiracy.
‘The two men who were talking were less than a hundred meters away from Su Jingxing.
‘The two of them had lowered their voices, and the average person would have thought that they were talking about an ordinary murder even if they overheard them.
However, Su Jingxing snapped out of his daze when he heard three words. He immediately thought of their identities.
That Feng guy!
Feng Tiejian!
‘The two of them were 99% referring to Feng Tiejian.
Since it was Feng Tiejian, the identities of the two people were obvious.
‘The He Family!
‘The He Family, who have been hiding behind the scenes, is plotting a conspiracy.
The conspiracy is targeted at the residents of Ranch Town.
What are they up to?
Replace Feng Tiejian with someone from the town?
If so, how would that be done?
Kill someone to extract their blood? Or to extract their bones?
If that is true, how many people would they have to kill?
Dozens, hundreds, or even the entire town?!
At the thought of this, Su Jingxing’s expression did not change, but anger bubbled up from the bottom of his heart.
All of these people who think nothing of other humans must die!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
If I manage to kill all of them, there will be peace and quiet.
Kill them all…
“Mm, wait!”
Su Jingxing’s heart skipped a beat.
What powerful killing intent!
Although Su Jingxing was in contempt of the He Family’s schemes and had decided to intervene,
this sudden surge of killing intent alarmed him.
It wasn’t like he had never encountered such a situation before, but he had there was never once where he was filled with killing intent and viciousness like this.
What is going on?
Why am I like this?
Was I affected by the Martial Art True Intent of the Sishui Horned Dragon?
Su Jingxing pondered.
The Sishui Horned Dragon is being suppressed by the Heaven Trampling Elephant. They are evenly matched and are in a deadlock. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t affect…
Wait!
Su Jingxing suddenly realized something.
I understand now. It’s not the Sishui Horned Dragon, but the soul oath!
‘The deal I made with Liu Chenglong was to protect the citizens of the Yu Nation.
The He Family’s conspiracy targted at the residents of Ranch Town triggered the oath, and that’s how I was alerted.
From this guess, it’s clear that the He Family is targeting a significant number of people!
‘With fewer people, the oath wouldn’t even be triggered.
What a coincidence.
Su Jingxing thought inwardly.
Protect the Yu Nation for 10 years.
This soul oath is indeed effective.
Even though he was enlightened, his face remained impassive.
After completing the documentation work with Gu Bo, the two of them moved the corpses into the back of the truck.
Gu Bo was still the driver as they returned to Qinghe City.
Gu Bo had wanted to get Su Jingxing to drive, but Su Jingxing tuned him down, Since he was multitasking, he decided against it.
The corpse transportation truck left the town and traveled on the road.
As they passed by a grassy area with a turn, Su Jingxing saw a few familiar faces.
Xiong Qifan, Yu Qi, and Lu Hao from the Green Cloud Court!
Do these three people also live in Ranch Town?
Su Jingxing took a few glances from afar, then looked away and pondered.
The general of the Prefecture Army, Chu Weiliang, was a fourth-grade martial artist.
Xiong Qifan, Yu Qi, and Lu Hao were all in the fifth-grade while Yu Qi was in the fourth-grade.
If the He Family wanted to stir up trouble in Ranch Town, the two fourth-grades martial artists should be able to fend them off.
With this in mind, Su Jingxing’s worries eased considerably.
Otherwise, by the time returned to the crematorium with the truck and found an opportunity return to small courtyard at the foot of the mountain before flying here,
with the delay, the situation in Ranch Town could get very serious.
After all, no one could guarantee that the He Family wouldn’t carry out their plan in advance!
“Was that a corpse transportation truck earlier?”
asked Lu Hao curiously as he watched the truck disappear around the corner.
“It’s a corpse transportation truck.”
Xiong Qifan nodded. “There are casualties in town. It’s normal for a corpse transportation truck to come pick up the corpses.”
“Is that so? How did they die?” asked Lu Hao, curious. “People don’t usually die in functional towns like this, do they?”
“It’s indeed rare,”
answered Xiong Qifan. “As for the deceased this time, I heard they died from eating poisonous mushrooms.”
“Poisonous mushrooms? Really?” Lu Hao was wide-eyed. “It’s understandable that kids don’t recognize them, but how could adults not?”
“What’s so strange about that? There are some mushrooms and wild fruits that even I wouldn’t be able to recognize,”
said Yu Qj irritably.
“What? No way?”
Lu Hao gave a dry laugh. Then, remembering something, he asked, “By the way, there shouldn’t be any mushrooms growing in this area, right? Why would poisonous mushrooms appear?”
“Yes… no!”
