Chapter 12 - Techniques

An apartment building 300 meters away from Hengguang Garden.

This was one of the properties under the Jin family.

Unit 1701 on the 17th floor was also one of Jin Haoxuan's private residences.

Sometimes, when he was too lazy to go home or needed to do something inconvenient at home, he would come here.

When Li Chunjun was gathering information on Jin Haoxuan, he accidentally learned about this place from one of Jin Haoxuan's countless ex-girlfriends.

He had even come here once, hoping to find evidence of the Jin family's illegal activities.

Later, because he didn't know how to pick locks, he had to give up regretfully.

Having been here before, he took advantage of the night, avoided the security patrols, and arrived at the apartment door. Using a card he had prepared earlier, he applied a clever force and slid it downward...

The door opened.

He knew that someone like Jin Haoxuan would never have the habit of locking the door when leaving.

Moreover, he was arrogant enough to believe that no petty thief would dare to cause trouble on the Jin family's turf.

Li Chunjun pushed the door open and entered, then closed it behind him.

The occupancy rate of this apartment building was low, and coupled with the coldness of interpersonal relationships in today's society, as long as Jin Haoxuan, the "owner," didn't show up, and given the Jin family's current chaotic state, he could stay here for ten days to half a month without being discovered.

Li Chunjun didn't turn on the lights, but the light coming in from outside was enough to tell that the apartment was large.

Over 150 square meters.

The interior was luxuriously decorated and offered an excellent view.

He walked around and opened the wardrobe.

Inside were many branded clothes.

Some of them were even still sealed.

The extravagance of the wealthy.

Li Chunjun picked out a set and went to the bathroom to take a shower, letting the water wash away the bloodstains on his body.

After cleaning himself and changing clothes, he also found some packaged food.

As he ate, he quietly watched the comings and goings of vehicles 300 meters away in the direction of Hengguang Garden.

Without guessing, he knew how lively Hengguang Garden must be at this moment.

He hadn't stayed at Hengguang Garden to wait for Jin Guangming, one of the masterminds, to return.

On one hand...

He hadn't yet reached the point of being invincible, capable of taking on the entire world.

On the other hand...

His abilities were limited.

No matter how you put it, he was just an eighteen-year-old high school student who hadn't even graduated.

He had no connections, no experience, no network.

With such limited means, it wasn't easy to track down all those closely associated with the Jin family, ensuring no one was missed and cutting off all future threats.

Since he couldn't find them, he could only wait for them to come to him.

Wait and observe.

See how many people and forces would go all out for the Jin family, running around to help.

Then, after identifying the targets...

He would go after them one by one.

Only after all the forces willing to help the Jin family were wiped out, and all those connected to the Jin family were dead, could the Jin family...

Truly be considered eradicated.

Therefore, he needed to be patient.

Li Chunjun sat on the comfortable recliner on the balcony, his expression calm.

Even his thoughts were relatively steady.

Or rather, after he had burned down the place where he had lived for eighteen years, storing all his childhood and life memories, he had tried to control his thoughts, not letting himself dwell too much on sentimentality.

Like now.

If he couldn't control his wandering thoughts, he would do something productive.

For example...

Review the battles.

The review should start from the battle in the outskirts...

Li Chunjun's thoughts paused.

Then, he skipped that battle and focused his mind on the fight at the Jin family's estate with Sun Yongxing.

Thinking carefully, that battle...

Was very risky!

The uncontrollable killing intent in his heart and his rapidly expanding power led to reckless actions.

In that battle, if Sun Yongxing hadn't been eager to show off in front of Madam Jin but had instead calmly commanded Zhou Que and the others to join forces and surround him, the outcome of the battle would have been different.

Ultimately...

"Martial techniques! Cultivation methods!"

Li Chunjun said.

Every time his life level increased, his body underwent a comprehensive enhancement, including physical strength, mental power, perception, reaction, and more. However...

If it weren't for the element of surprise and fighting with his life on the line, he, as a Level 6 life form, wouldn't have been able to defeat a martial artist at the peak of internal refinement.

Similarly, now as a Level 7 life form, he might not necessarily be able to defeat a Integration Realm martial artist.

"During the body-refining stage, physical strength is the most important. When the difference in physical strength between two parties isn't too vast, it's difficult for the weaker one to defeat the stronger one. Therefore, relying on the comprehensive enhancement from my life level, I can still compete with those martial artists. But as I enter the Qi Refining stage of cultivators, where various spells, magical tools, and secret techniques abound, if I continue to rely solely on my physical strength and charge recklessly..."

Li Chunjun thought about it and realized what his fate would be.

A living target.

He would be like a living target, toyed with by the opponent's diverse and intricate methods.

This is true even at the Qi Refining stage.

Not to mention the Divine Refining stage, or the legendary Void Refining stage, where one can pluck stars, reverse yin and yang, and reshape the universe!

"Theoretically, with the comprehensive enhancement from my life level, combined with martial techniques, secret methods, and forbidden arts corresponding to my level, not only could I fight on par with those at the same level, but I could also challenge those above my level!"

Li Chunjun said solemnly.

If he now possessed martial arts prowess, combat experience, and forbidden techniques comparable to Sun Yongxing, he might even be able to fight a top-tier Integration Realm martial artist who had fully connected all their meridians.

He closed his eyes.

Sensing the immense power within his body, capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards.

"I practice martial arts only to kill, only to... become immortal."

And when it comes to killing, weapons are clearly more efficient than fists and feet.

So...

He needed to train with weapons.

This was Jin Haoxuan's private residence.

He stood up and went to the side room, which was labeled as a study but was actually a gaming room. He searched through the few books on the desk.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

The small number of books were all world classics used for decoration, and many of them were so new that it was obvious they had never been opened.

After pondering for a moment, Li Chunjun searched through the drawers.

He even went to the bedroom next door.

After more than an hour, he returned to the study.

He had found nothing.

But there was no disappointment on his face.

After calmly thinking for a while, his gaze fell on the obviously expensive computer in the study.

He quickly turned it on.

Soon, the computer booted up.

Li Chunjun found the most popular chat software on the market, clicked on it, but...

It required a password.

However, he didn't stop. He right-clicked the mouse, checked the software properties, quickly located its folder, and entered the folder containing "file transfers."

As he opened this folder...

Among the various scattered documents, four files that had yet to be deleted stood out prominently.

"Chiyang Body Refining Method" "Martial Dao Innate True Explanation" "Body Cultivation Foundation Method" "Sword Cultivation Foundation Method"
