Chapter 48: Strength Past 100!
Whoosh.Danny sheathed the blade and let the golden armor dissolve.At the same moment, cracks spread across the remaining bandits' bodies, and one by one they dropped to the ground.That armor was genuinely absurd while it lasted, it put Danny on even footing with actual internal-energy fighters. The speed boost alone had let him take Black Dragon down before the man even registered the strike.Cleaned up the rest of his crew in the same breath.Shame about the duration, though.Between the fight with Frank earlier and the multiple activations up in the mountains, he had less than fifteen minutes left on the clock.Use it, and it drains further. Every time.Still worth spending here.Danny retrieved the Demon-Devouring Blade, crouched, and picked up the massive hammer Black Dragon had dropped.Roughly a human head in size, dull gold, absurdly heavy had to weigh well over a hundred pounds.【Equippable item detected.

Chapter 47: Iron Watch Armor, Ascending Dragon Hammer
Black Dragon stood in the treeline watching Danny approach, scratching his bald head."Huh. Really is just the one. Young guy, walking cane and all.""Send two out. Test him."Two of his men took off."Hey! Hold up right there!""Friend! We keep this road safe for a living how about a little something for the road?"The pair carried heavy blades, sneering as they closed in from both sides.Danny glanced at them briefly neither of them registered as martial artists at all and didn't bother slowing his pace."Hey, kid, don't push it"One of them, riled up by being ignored, stepped forward with a curse.Then everything went black for him instantly."You, you"His partner stared at the half-a-head that remained of his friend and bolted back toward Black Dragon."Boss! This is bad! Real bad!!"He'd barely made it back before Black Dragon, scowling, kicked him aside.He scrambled up only to find death had already followed him into the trees."Quite the crew you've got here." Danny glanced a
Chapter 46: The Little Black Dragon of Muddy River
Still nothing?"Three days now. We've combed almost the entire northern mountain range and turned up nothing."Inside the county office, Magistrate Whitmore sat rubbing his temples as Zhou Shouzhen delivered the report.He sighed. "What about the other angle? Weren't there two men he'd been looking after the injured ones?"Zhou gave a strained smile. "I checked. Went the moment I had the lead, yesterday. But they'd already left the county two days before that.""The gate guards said an old medicine peddler led them out personally."Whitmore's expression twisted with fresh pain."So we let the Blood Demon Sect's own leader escape. Kessler's internal-energy fighters chased him down and lost him. And now this kid's two people vanish too?"Zhou had gone entirely numb to it at this point. He just nodded, resigned."If I report all this up the chain, do you think they'll actually believe it?"Zhou answered, guilty. "I think... it's possible?"What garbage.If Danny genuinely was a governmen
Chapter 45: Help Me Kill Someone
Danny went back into the cave, pushing deeper this time.Nearly a hundred paces in, a faint red glow appeared, cutting through the pitch black.He followed it to a small shrub, barely knee-high, hung with a single vermilion fruit translucent, glowing with a slow pulse of crimson light from within, radiating heat.Not far from it stood a taller, withered dead tree.Danny let out a breath, his guess confirmed. The tiger hadn't left because it was waiting digesting whatever it had already absorbed, planning to come back for the rest of this fruit later.He rubbed his hands together and reached out slowly.【Usable herb detected.

Chapter 44: Next Time, You Won't Get Lucky Twice
Danny had picked this cave for its seclusion, long, narrow, stretching so deep into the dark it looked endless.From outside, even an internal-energy fighter like Frank couldn't have known for sure whether an ambush was waiting inside.Danny's original plan had just been to bluff, buy some time.He hadn't expected an actual find.He crossed to the wall and pulled a blade free from where it was lodged in the stone. Long, narrow, dark gold, scraping against rock with a low, crisp ring.【Equippable item detected.

Chapter 43: Too Cautious for His Own Good
"As expected. A small problem you didn't handle right the first time always circles back, you have to finish it yourself, or it grows into something worse."Frank sighed, a flicker of grudging respect crossing his face as he studied Danny."A few days, and you've already put down three peak External Force fighters.""Growing that fast, even with the Phantom Bride eating away at you no guarantee you don't come out the other side of this stronger than before.""Good thing I decided to handle this personally."Danny wasn't listening to a word of it.His entire focus was locked on his own attribute panel.That foreign energy churning through him kept eating away at his Vitality, the number dropping steadily as he watched.In seconds, it had already crashed to 3.Without a moment's hesitation, he equipped the century wild ginseng.Consume.He silently completed the thought, choosing to burn it directly from the slot.His Vitality surged back up instantly, a flood of raw vitality pouring th
