Li Sanbao was quite annoyed lately, extremely annoyed.
His practice of Cross Training Diamond Body had runned into bottlenecks. No matter how many methods he had tried, this year, he didn't make any progress with his Diamond Body. As for his cultivation, he had reached Level Four 10 years ago. No matter how he tried, he just could not break into Level Five. This all bothered him a lot.
He believed, however, that soon he would not worry about this at all. In recent years, while leading a band of brothers, he obtained a lot from running amuck and committing robberies in the Luo River; including many medicinal herbs. Some of these herbs were able to be used for processing Bone-Forging Soup. Besides that, he scraped some herbs together for processing Tendon-Changing Soup, among, which the quantity of some medicinal herbs was too small.
Compared to the ones needed for Bone-Forging Soup, the medicinal herbs for Tendon-Changing Soup were more elusive. Some of the herbs were especially hard to find, even for those barons. He obtained the herbs by accident in one robbery. Although the quantity was not enough, if processed with other medicinal herbs, the effect of these herbs would be much better than without them.
He was a sensible man and knew that he had no chance of entering the Tendon-Changing Realm and Level Seven. He, therefore, preferred to use up these medicinal herbs, so that his body could be improved to bear the Level Five cultivation.
The Cross Training Diamond Body was indeed very amazing, it could improve his body several folds, including the strength of his viscera, tendons, and vessels. With this strength, both of his attack force and defensive power would be improved several times. This kind of improvement, however, was temporary.
When applying Cross Training Diamond Body, his body strength improved so much that he could bear the Internal Qi of Level Five or even Level Six cultivation. Once he released Diamond Body, however, his body strength would quickly reduce to the first level of Bone-Forging Realm, which was the Level Four standard.
It meant that he could improve his body strength to Level Five or Six in a short time, but his Internal Qi cultivation was still in Level Four, which was mismatched.
Of course, there was no need to match them. In the small Jiang City, Level Four experts with Cross Training Diamond Body's addition to their body strength were quite rare, which provided him more conditions to be rude. Otherwise, he could not run wild around the Luo River for so long.
”Forget it. I shouldn't think so much. I'm just a water bandit from a small city, and I shouldn't live in vain hoping to be a legendary expert. I'd do better to stay here as freely as I can!” When Li Sanbao figured out this point, a smile appeared on his ferocious face. ” Level Five. As long as my cultivation is able to reach Level Five, then I can practice the secret skill. With the Cross Training Diamond Body and the secret skill, I should be able to compete with the guy from the Multiple Chain Dock. Hem, that guy has suppressed me for so many years. I'm extremely reluctant. Once I succeed in practicing...!”
He was sitting in a chair, closing his eyes and imagining the good thing, as hasty voice woke him up. ”Big Master, Big Master...!”
”Why are you so loud? Even if the people of Multiple Chain Dock came here to trouble us, you need not to be so loud!”
Imagining the good thing, Li Sanbao shouted angrily.
”No, Big Master. It's not the Multiple Chain Dock but the Navy of Jiang City. Their fleet is approaching Broken Dragon Beach. They seem to be sailing toward us!”
”Navy of Jiang City?!” Li Sanbao stood up harshly, with a confused face, ”Why are they coming here?”
”They seem to...!” The person was around 20 years old, and he had a piece of white cloth on his head, who was considered to be strong. Hearing Li Sanbao's question, he answered with a little hesitation, ”They seem to come to suppress bandits. Oh, no, suppress us!”
”Suppress us?!” Li Sanbao seemed incredulous as if hearing a big joke, ”The Navy of Jiang City is coming to suppress us. Do they have reinforcements now?!”
”No. It's still the dozen ships like last time. The number is smaller. It's said that the new Navy Commander was executing command of the Jiang City Guard to come to Broken Dragon Beach!”
”The new Navy Commander in Jiang City. You mean the boy named Zhou Bao?!”
”Yes!”
”I see. You can withdraw. Let the brothers prepare for this and keep an eye on the Broken Dragon Beach. And make sure these guys pluck up and gain courage. Damn! I don't care who they are. As long as they dare to enter Broken Dragon Beach, then they break the rule, and you will hit them. Understand?”
”Yes!” The water bandit said, and ran out in a hurry.
”Zhou Bao. What does the boy want to do?!” After the water bandit ran out, Li Sanbao became serious. He was the head of the water bandits in Jiang City, and he was a typical man in Jianghu who was always first to recieve information. Thus, he was very familiar with Junior Leopard, who was the younger in his heyday in Zhonghe City during this period.
Junior Leopard, the personal guard of Zhonghe Prefecture Admiral Li Yuan, was 14 years old, with a Level Three cultivation and a fighting strength stronger than Level Four experts, who also had a first-class merit in recapturing Zhonghe City and was highly appreciated by the new Level Nine expert Wang She from Tian Long Taoism.
These were the most basic and truest bits of information about Junior Leopard. In the beginning, Li Sanbao was a little surprised at his assuming office in Jiang City; meanwhile he was cautious about it. Li Sanbao was rude and cruel, but he was not stupid. He was afraid of Junior Leopard, not because of his strength but his background, including Li Yuan, the Wu Family, and Wang She. None of them did he dare provoke. Therefore, during the half month when Junior Leopard assumed office, both he and his Broken Dragon Beach Navy were well-behaved without any excessive movements. He wanted to observe Junior Leopard's habits and characteristics to see what kind of figure he was.
But according to the information Li Sanbao got from his planted agent in the navy, the boy was just a teen knowing nothing but owing great feats. All the stuff in the navy was still managed by these former officers including Wang Cheng. Junior Leopard seldom went to the barracks if there was no big event. He always stayed in his room to practice. So Li Sanbao gradually set his mind at rest, and thought Junior Leopard came to the Jiang City Navy merely for credentials. Since he had not been out for dozen days, and he had lost many earnings, therefore, two days ago, he went out several times to commit robbery with his fellows.
