According to the old imperial physician, consuming just one Heavenly Origin Pill would be enough to double his internal energy, increasing it to about six inches.
However, when combined with the cultivation achievements of the Soul Slave, it goes far beyond that.
When the cycle of the Heavenly Circulation ended, Zhao An's inner energy returned to his dantian, and it had already transformed into a full ten inches long!
It had transformed from a tiny snake that had just hatched into a slender snake coiled in the center of its dantian!
At the same time, his breathing became increasingly deep and profound, without the slightest hint of weakness.
If his internal energy level previously possessed a sharp and assertive quality, now it is only characterized by its profound and unrestrained nature.
He was still at the Strong Breath Realm, but the difference in his internal energy before and after was enormous, with the total amount more than doubling!
As he channeled his inner energy into his palm, he pressed it against the iron stake, and in an instant, a clear palm print appeared, sinking in three inches deep!
There are many martial arts masters who specialize in Iron Palm techniques. His palm strike is probably no less powerful than those martial arts experts known for their Iron Palm skills!
More importantly, the surge in internal energy had the greatest impact on his finger techniques.
Through his arduous training, the Heavenly Profound Finger Technique has become an even more powerful killing move and trump card for the Soul Slave.
"If I were to use every means at my disposal now, would I be able to kill that captain...?" Zhao An pondered and assessed in his mind.
But it's still hard to say. The captain's strength is unfathomable, and Zhao An can't make a judgment with the naked eye.
Perhaps the magistrate and his guard had some idea of the captain's true strength.
After making some plans in his mind, Zhao An went to sleep fully clothed, and the night passed without incident.
The next morning, the carriage arranged by the county magistrate had already arrived outside Zhao An's courtyard.
"Brother Zhao, going to the magistrate's again?" Li Gou'er chuckled in the courtyard.
"Brother, aren't you going to have some breakfast before you go?" Zhao Chunzi asked, peeking out from the kitchen.
"I won't eat." Zhao An got straight into the carriage.
He didn't say much about what happened today to the two of them.
In Li Gou'er's eyes, his elder brother was about to rise to prominence, and entering and leaving the county magistrate's office would be as easy as entering and leaving his own courtyard.
How many people in this city could do that?
Upon arriving at the magistrate's residence, Zhao An could clearly sense that there were significantly more elite soldiers patrolling and guarding the place than usual.
Armored teams moved through the flower beds, rockeries, corridors, and courtyards.
It was clear that the county magistrate did not entirely trust the troops from the prefectural city.
Just in case, to avoid the situation getting out of control today, we have to deploy more troops to guard the area.
Zhao An, unarmed and without armor, went straight to a martial arts training ground in the mansion.
County Magistrate Tao Heng had arrived early, and the Prefectural Commandant and his generals were also present.
However, at Tao Heng's request, none of the officers wore armor or helmets today, nor did they carry any weapons; they were only dressed in a set of neat civilian clothes.
"This kid actually made us wait so long!" A military officer said with displeasure as he looked at Zhao An as he approached.
"General, let me go first in a bit."
Cao Yuanzhan sat in the chair, keeping his eyes closed and remaining silent.
Suddenly, another military officer beside him showed a strange expression, let out a soft exclamation, frowned and stared at Zhao An for a moment before speaking.
"General, this kid's aura is off; it's much stronger than it was three days ago!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Yuanzhan couldn't help but open his eyes and look at him, his originally calm gaze immediately showing some ripples.
His martial arts level is higher, and his eyesight is better than those around him.
At a glance, it was clear that Zhao An's aura and cultivation level had undergone a tremendous change!
"Such a thing is true..." he thought to himself.
Is it really possible for someone to improve so much in just three days?
"Could it be that this kid had been hiding his true abilities all along, having practiced a secret technique to conceal his aura?"
In an instant, his mind raced.
The scene I had seen in the forest before flashed through my mind.
Zhao An sat calmly on a large rock to meet him, with the corpses of the Moon Clan soldiers lying all over the ground behind him!
Are there a hundred? There must be at least seventy or eighty!
"Don't be careless, this kid is hiding something," Cao Yuanzhan whispered to the officers behind him.
"Brother, what are you afraid of? In any case, he's only at the first stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and he's still so young. How much skill can he possibly have? How can he compare to the skills we've earned through countless battles on the battlefield!" Cao Xinma laughed from the side.
"Brothers, let me add a little something extra to liven things up! Whoever can break this lad's arm and leg today will receive a hundred taels of silver from me!"
These words indeed raised the morale of the officers.
Not all of them had a deep relationship with Hu Dingtian. Their anger stemmed from the fact that they were both officers from the prefectural city, and Hu Dingtian's sudden murder left them feeling resentful and dissatisfied, regardless of right or wrong.
Now, for the sake of money, they are more willing to put in their best effort.
As for Cao Xinma, he merely wanted to use this opportunity to establish his prestige as a military commander.
Cao Yuanzhan glanced at his younger brother but didn't say anything more.
Cao Xinma was able to rise to the position of military commander by following in his footsteps, which was also due to his support.
He wouldn't hold a grudge against Cao Xinma over trivial matters.
"Magistrate." Zhao An approached and cupped his hands in greeting to Tao Heng.
Tao Jin, who was standing to the side, looked at Zhao An with a deep gaze, and he naturally saw through the clues as well.
Zhao An's internal energy surged overnight, making it difficult to conceal.
However, he didn't intend to hide anything today.
"Are you prepared?" Tao Heng asked.
"Hmm." Zhao An nodded, then thought for a moment and suddenly asked.
"What if I accidentally kill them? Would that be a bad thing?"
Tao Heng was taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously glanced at Tao Jinyi beside him, noticing that Tao Jinyi's gaze was also rather strange.
He quickly realized what was happening and immediately stepped forward, patted Zhao An on the shoulder, and advised, "Calm down. I still need their help to defend the city and fight the Moon Clan. You can injure them, but don't actually kill them."
"Okay." Zhao An agreed without saying anything more and went straight to the training ground.
"My lord, Zhao An is different today," Tao Jinyi said at this moment.
"What's different?" Tao Heng asked.
"Your aura has become much stronger. Your previous worries were probably unfounded," Tao Jin replied.
"Even you say so, which means I was right. He really is extraordinary." Tao Heng smiled slightly, relieved, and nodded to Cao Yuanzhan on the other side of the training ground.
"Qin Moyang, you go." Cao Yuanzhan didn't say much and directly appointed the general himself.
"General, if you send Brother Qin right away, then there's nothing for us to do at all."
"Let me warm up the atmosphere for Brother Qin..."
"With Brother Qin's strength, beating that kid up would be a piece of cake."
'
,
"Shut up." Cao Yuanzhan glanced sideways at his fierce officers, his tone becoming more forceful.
"Qin Moyang, if you lose this round and make me lose all face, then you'll be subject to military law when we get back!"
After getting up, a burly middle-aged man grinned and pounded his chest loudly.
"General, rest assured, if I lose, I will offer my head to you!"
