Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 22-Awakening
The next morning.

"what?"

Lin Qing looked at Team Leader Han in surprise and couldn't help asking, "Is Luotuo dead? Was he killed in the Iron Stone Bar? When?"

"The exact time is still uncertain, but it should be last night."

Team leader Han glanced at him and said, "I heard that you had a conflict with the Blue Scarf Gang yesterday morning?"

"Yes." Lin Qing nodded. "I happened to run into the Blue Scarf Gang collecting protection money, so I said a few sarcastic words to them. But Luotuo was quite respectful to me, so he didn't collect the protection money and just left."

Team leader Han nodded slightly and said, "After all, you are the patrol officer of Tieshi Street, so of course he will give you face."

"But why were the camels killed suddenly?"

Lin Qing asked in confusion: "Could it be a bloody fight between the underworld forces? He has fought in underworld boxing before, so he should be quite strong, right?"

"It's hard to say." Team Leader Han said, "The forensic doctor from the public security department concluded that he died from a single cut to the throat. Although it's hard to tell the type of murder weapon because the body had been burned, there was only one wound on the body, which is enough to show the strength of the murderer."

Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "When I encountered the Blue Scarf Gang yesterday, there was a big guy with terrifying strength following Luo Tuo. He bent the iron railing with one punch. Could it be that he did it?"

Team leader Han shook his head slightly and said, "He is dead too. He was stabbed in the palm of his hand and his throat was cut."

"Dead too?" Lin Qing asked in surprise.

"The murderer is very powerful."

Team leader Han said softly, "It is very likely that he is a master at the captain's level."

Lin Qing suddenly realized: "No wonder the police didn't summon me."

"As soon as the forensic report came out, we knew it wasn't you. You were far from it." Team Leader Han shook his head.

In his opinion, Lin Qing had only just mastered the 4th and 6th version of the training method not long ago, and he was still some distance away from the limit of the training method. Moreover, he had only learned one combat method, and it took him five days to get started.

It's just an entry-level combat method and it won't improve your strength much.

With this level of strength, he is at the bottom among the team leaders of Xiaoshan District Branch, and is far behind the team captain.

"What is the purpose of the temporary action assigned to us by the bureau?" Lin Qing asked.

"Haven't you seen the members of the Blue Scarf Gang after they were reorganized?"

Team leader Han said, "We were asked to cooperate with a team to search the Iron Stone Bar and its surroundings and control any suspicious persons. The police are still checking the surveillance video, but there are no clues yet."

Lin nodded lightly.

Everything was as he expected.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

After the patrol team searched the area around the Iron Stone Bar and sent away all the Blue Scarf Gang members as suspects, the Blue Scarf Gang, which had just been established for a day, announced its disbandment again.

[Order level increased by 0.1 levels]

After the team was assembled, Lin Qing looked at the order level which was as high as 0.8 and felt very satisfied.

In his previous life, he lived in a completely stable and peaceful era, and the highest order level was only 0.9.

It’s not much different now.

According to his understanding, there are two key points to improving the level of order.

One is to expand the living circle or class.

The living circle of ordinary people is so small that no matter how stable it is, it is probably impossible to reach level 1.

The second is to try to eliminate unstable factors in your living circle, such as potential crises, things that affect order, etc.

Both of these actually require him to be strong enough.

Only with strength can you have status and eliminate crises and quell chaos.

That night, Lin Qing received good news.

"Lin Qing, the bureau has arranged a coach for you. Starting tomorrow, you can learn the Seven-Seven Practice Method from him."

"Although it's a little late, you are lucky. I heard that this coach used to be an external student of Chaoyang Martial Arts School."

……

January 1nd at 12am.

Lin Qing arrived at the Blue Sky Martial Arts Training Center as scheduled according to the time arranged by the branch.

Although Chaoyang Martial Arts School is the only one that dominates the market now, there are also some training centers that teach the basics of martial arts and specialize in providing guidance on various martial arts basics.

The selling point of the Blue Sky Martial Arts Training Center is that "students from Chaoyang Martial Arts School serve as coaches in our training center." Through various publicity and promotion, the effect is indeed quite good. Judging from the number of students in the training center, it is obviously quite popular.

After confirming the appointment, Lin Qing went all the way to the private practice room at the end of the second floor of the training center.

The coach who signed the agreement with the Inspection Bureau is called 'Tan Yanwen'.

He was about 20 years old and looked plain, but when he sat cross-legged on the ground, he had a calm and composed temperament. It was obvious that he was a martial arts master. "Hello, Coach Tan. I am Lin Qing, the third-level inspector of the Xiaoshan District Inspection Branch." Lin Qing greeted politely.

"Ah."

Tan Yanwen looked at Lin Qing and nodded slightly, "I heard that you are only eighteen. How long did it take you to practice the 46th version of Chaoyang Training Method and succeed?"

"If you calculate carefully, how many months would it be?" Lin Qing deliberately said it was much shorter since no one would know anyway.

"Not bad. Although your aptitude is not outstanding, it is not too far behind." Tan Yanwen said softly, "You can indeed learn the 77th version of the training method. There should be a certain hope of success."

Lin Qing knew that the "excellent" qualifications the other party mentioned were referring to the Chaoyang Martial Arts School's assessment and classification of qualifications.

Ordinary, good, outstanding.

Those with excellent qualifications will be accepted as external students by Chaoyang Martial Arts School.

As for the inner hall students, they have always been very mysterious, even if they have outstanding qualifications.

Lin Qing couldn't help but ask: "Coach Tan, I heard that almost all people with excellent qualifications can practice the Seven-Seven Version of the Chaoyang Training Method. Is there any hope of practicing the original version?"

"Qualifications are just talents, they can't determine too much."

Tan Yanwen shook his head slightly: "If you don't work hard enough, there are also people in Chaoyang Martial Arts School who haven't even mastered the 77th version of the training method before the age of 20, and they were eventually persuaded to quit."

He didn't say much, he stood up and said, "Let's start now. I have something to do at noon. From now on, you can come to me at 10 am and finish at 12 pm. I can teach you for three days at most. If you still can't learn it in three days, then there is nothing I can do."

"Okay." Lin nodded.

"The 77 version of the training method is based on the 46 version, but the movements are more complicated, but the breathing method is simpler."

Tan Yanwen said: "I will deliberately increase the changes in breathing. I will do it slowly first, and then at a normal speed. You can watch carefully and remember the general idea first. I will then break down the movements and teach you."

After saying that, Tan Yanwen began to demonstrate.

Lin Qing watched carefully from the side, memorizing the coordination between the other person's every movement and breathing.

Finished twice.

Tan Yanwen looked at Lin Qing and said, "You try it too. I will correct you step by step."

Lin nodded and immediately began to imitate him.

After the first round, Tan Yanwen was surprised to find that this young inspector had made almost no mistakes, except that the details of his breathing and movement coordination were not accurate enough.

"You have a great memory and excellent body control."

Tan Yanwen praised softly, "It seems that you don't need to come tomorrow. After two more lessons, you should be able to get familiar with it."

Twenty minutes later.

“It’s pretty standard.”

Tan Yanwen nodded slightly and said: "Next, you have to slowly adjust yourself and try to find a state where you can mobilize more of your body's potential so that you can absorb more mysterious energy."

"Okay." Lin Qing nodded.

He also noticed that the panel already included the Qiqi version of the Chaoyang training method.

Next, as long as he finishes the tactic "Agility", he can directly advance the 77th version of the Chaoyang training method!
"It's still early, and we haven't even reached the two-hour class period." Tan Yanwen smiled and said, "I didn't expect that teaching this class would be so easy?"

He sat down on the floor. "If you have something to do, you can leave. If you don't want to leave, you can stay and chat. The class hasn't started yet anyway."

Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "I'm also a little curious. If Coach Tan doesn't mind, can you tell me the requirements for joining Chaoyang Martial Arts School?"

"Do you want to go?" Tan Yanwen asked.

"I heard that students of Chaoyang Martial Arts School can live in the urban area. Who wouldn't want that?" Lin Qing said frankly.

Naturally, he also wants to live in a more peaceful and stable urban area. By then, the level of order will surely be greatly improved.

“It’s not a good thing.”

Tan Yanwen shook his head and said, "Outside hall students are not eligible to live in the urban area. They just have a pass. And if they fail to enter the inner hall before the age of 20, they will be persuaded to leave."

He glanced at Lin Qing and said, "If you want to live in the urban area, you can only move into the inner hall, but it's difficult... hehe..."

His chuckle seemed to be at himself, but also seemed to be mocking the young man's wild imagination.

"Enter the inner hall before the age of twenty?"

Lin Qing immediately asked: "May I ask what qualifications are required to enter the inner hall?"

"The Inner Hall doesn't look at qualifications." Tan Yanwen shook his head and said, "The key lies in 'awakening'."

"Awakening?" Lin Qing asked curiously.

Tan Yanwen was silent for a while, and then he said softly in a helpless and yearning tone: "It's either the 'gene awakening' that breaks the genetic shackles, or it's the extremely rare 'telekinetic awakening' that breaks the mental barriers."

He paused, then jokingly said, "Of course, it is said that there is another kind of awakening that almost only exists in legends."

"What?" Lin Qing couldn't help but look at him.
