Hunting God Era

Chapter 69 The Ren family falls, Li Ye eats his fill
"I can't train."

After returning home, Li Ye shook his head.

The martial arts for passing through the Soul-Stabilizing Gate are very special. They do not emphasize internal energy cultivation or have any specific moves; they are a form of visualization.

[Using oneself as flint, one knocks on the gate to forge the spirit. Through tribulations, one remains untainted by worldly dust, the lamp of the heart forever burning.]

He was instructed to visualize flint striking fire, thereby igniting his will and protecting his soul from demonic contamination.

In Li Ye's view
What? What is this?!

Imagine how easy it is to strike fire with flint, but then what?

I have absolutely no clue.

In terms of qualifications, this is a problem for Li Ye.

All martial arts, except for the Foundation Building Technique which purely enhances qi and blood, show signs of breakthroughs.

It's simply a matter of whether it's a direct route or not.

Based on the level of martial arts skills required to directly break through the barriers, they can be roughly divided into ordinary, medium, exquisite, superior, and top-tier.

The basic martial arts are those that can be freely viewed in high school. There are no requirements; anyone who can practice can do it. It's simply a matter of how quickly one can improve their qi and blood.

Intermediate level refers to the martial arts techniques taught in martial arts schools. These techniques are more effective and powerful, but they also begin to emphasize aptitude.

Exquisite martial arts are those that have reached a semi-mastered stage, such as Yang Jie's [Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Golden Bell Cover], which belongs to this category.

The highest level is martial arts that directly connects to a single key point; it is the type that places the greatest emphasis on aptitude.

The top level requires breaking through three levels in a row, but it is also the most special, with very strange, even abnormal, requirements.

For example, his "Twelve Golden Palaces Dragon and Tiger Gates" does not emphasize aptitude, but rather the ability to sense and practice qi and blood, as well as the special requirements for refining qi and blood, and an appetite as large as that of a king.

There's also Pan Zhengyang's martial art, the "Three Tribulations Furnace Scripture." When he obtained the Soul-Stabilizing Pass martial art, he even asked Pan Zhengyang about it. It's not like Li Ye breaking through all three passes at once; it's breaking through one pass at a time. But it's still just a martial art, emphasizing swordsmanship. It involves using blood and qi to nourish sword energy and then storing it in the body to form new sword energy and blood.

Unlike Li Ye's refinement, his was more of a 'transformation,' and also an extremely perverse requirement.

Therefore, unlike Li Ye's almost integrated air membrane, he relied on an air shield to complete the Vajra Pass.

But ultimately, the result is the same. Body, speed, breath, strength, spirit, and soul—training them all, in the end, is about becoming a perfectly well-rounded warrior.

Ordinary martial arts can also be used to break through the barrier, such as the Vajra Barrier. You can practice the Golden Bell Cover and then the Iron Shirt, followed by the Boy's Skill and Pure Yang Skill, then the Forging Armor Technique and Jade Bone Skill. If that's not enough, you can also use the Rock Stake Iron Armor Strength and the like.

With enough practice, you'll be able to pass the level.

The problem is that the blood and qi of the Dragon Gate Realm will gradually weaken with age. If a person only practices ordinary martial arts, can he learn all of these martial arts at the same time in his limited lifespan?

what?
Can he train?
If you're qualified to practice so much, why not just choose a better martial art?
Li Ye is an exception.

He can't master this superior martial art, but he has no problem with ordinary martial arts.

What does it matter if he lacks qualifications? Qualifications are not as good as authority.

Li Ye was indeed grateful to his master and Pan Zhengyang for teaching him the Dragon Tiger Gate, but that doesn't mean he couldn't break through the barrier without his master's martial arts instruction.

If you've practiced enough ordinary martial arts, you can just go in headfirst.

If it's not closed, it means it's open.

Previously, he was focused on refining his qi and blood and didn't have time to deal with these things. Now, if he wants to break through the other three barriers, he still needs to find those ordinary martial arts techniques to counter them.

No intermediate level martial arts skills are required.
"We need to prepare for both possibilities. First, we still need to find a god and obtain new authority. Second, we still need money."

The single "Qi-absorbing method" is useful in the Dragon Gate Realm, but its effectiveness diminishes significantly after breaking through the barrier.

Secondly, practicing so many ordinary martial arts skills would definitely require more qi and blood.

This requires a lot of money to buy blood and qi.

Dragon meat is very effective, but Pan Zhengyang cannot supply it indefinitely; he still has to rely on himself.

He has already used up a year's worth of school rewards in his cultivation, and Director Pan has also spent a lot of money. If there are no more gods in the future, he will have to find a way to spend even more money to buy those high-end ingredients.

This is only the second realm; there are nine realms for martial artists, and the path is endless.

Money is definitely very important.

He has no money.
Others have it!

A minor gang leader, even a member of the Three Dragons faction, managed to make a name for himself. Xiang Feipeng, a member of the Four Dragons faction who had taken a single route through the first level, was incredibly arrogant at school. Hua Zihang from Wuyu Middle School was even more arrogant, being second only to Tian in his school.

If they can do it, then Li Ye is even more qualified to do it now.

He simply changed schools to Ningjiang City, and suddenly he had the qualifications to do so!
That's enough for him to stir up trouble in Ningjiang City!
Now is the time!

It was nighttime, and the moonlight shone through the window, cascading like silver onto half of Li Ye's face, making one half of his face illuminated while the other half was shrouded in shadow.

"If the Ren family falls, I'll be able to eat my fill!"

A fish leaping out of the water transforms into a dragon; even an evil dragon is still a dragon.

……

The next day, Li Ye arrived at the disinfection bureau early and went into Section Chief Sun's office.

Sun Shun had been waiting for a while. When he saw Li Ye arrive, he smiled and pointed to a black uniform on the table, along with a brand-new ID card. The uniform looked exactly like the data clerk's ID card, but the badge inside had been changed from a Xie Zhi to a Bi'an, signifying that Li Ye had officially taken up the post of disinfection worker.

"Director Pan informed me that, first of all, congratulations on becoming the captain of the disinfection team, a guardian of humanity, and a protector against demons."

As Sun Shun spoke, he stood up straight, and his face became solemn and dignified.

"Now, please repeat after me!"

"I swear that all that arises from mutation, all that is evil, all that corrupts the human heart, and all that shakes the foundations of society are my enemies! I will fear neither their grotesque forms nor their treacherous powers, and I will annihilate the immortal!"

Li Ye remained solemn and followed Sun Shun in reciting the oath.

After Li Ye finished reading, Sun Shun gestured for Li Ye to sit down and sighed.

"You've heard about it, haven't you? A whole team resigned. In fact, half of our data department has also left."

Sun Shun looked up and sighed, "The situation is chaotic. With so many people missing, it's difficult for us to carry out our work in the city. Everyone's just waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves."

Li Ye frowned and said, "With so many people leaving, what will happen to the demons?"

“So what if they’re demons? Once we force Director Pan out, order will be restored,” Sun Shun said.

"The mayor isn't doing anything?"

“Different systems, they can’t manage this aspect, so you have to get things done!”

Sun Shun pointed to the clothes, "Put them on first."

October is still very hot in Jianghuai Province, but when Li Ye touched the fabric of the clothes, he felt a smooth and cool sensation.

Sun Shun chuckled and said, "The pelts of the moose are warm in winter and cool in summer, making them perfect for uniforms. These are only for pest control workers; I, a data clerk, am not qualified to use them."

Li Ye really didn't know anything about this demon, but the uniform was quite nice. It consisted of a set of casual clothes, an overcoat, and a peaked cap.

The clothes were a fitted, wide-shouldered stand-up collar top, which looked like a mix of a sheriff's uniform and a military uniform. The hat was stiff and wide-brimmed, with a full oval top and a badge pattern unique to Bi'an in the center of the brim.

The gloves also have steel armor on the back, extending from the fingers to the back to form a diamond-shaped gauntlet, and the top of the tall leather boots also has a metal cover.

After Li Ye finished dressing, he pressed the peaked cap down on his head, adjusted the buttons on the collar, and raised his head slightly.

With a youthful, innocent face, half of which was covered by a peaked cap, he appeared sinister and domineering.

The physique honed through martial arts training perfectly matched the style of the clothes, neither too big nor too small, as if the clothes were made for Li Ye.

Sun Shun was momentarily lost in thought. It wasn't that he had any strange quirks, but rather that this spirit reminded him of the scene thirty years ago when the extermination bureau dominated the world.

"Do you know what the Disinfection Bureau was before?" Sun Shun suddenly asked.

Li Ye thought for a moment, "The Embroidered Uniform Guard or the Six Doors?"

Sun Shun chuckled self-deprecatingly: "We are all the same. We are the biggest spies, and everyone who hears that is worried. But that's not the case now. People like Director Pan are a minority now. Most of them are just guarding against demons, or like me, bullying ordinary people."

He looked at Li Ye and said, "I really miss the days when the Bureau of Elimination moved and all sorts of gangs, factions, and wealthy families surrendered. Back then, you could walk with a swagger."

"Uncle Sun, I know what to do."

Li Ye adjusted his peaked cap, revealing his entire face, and grinned at Sun Shun, "I've finished reading the documents, and I know where to start. Director Pan told me not to back down, and I'm a hot-blooded young man, I'm sticking my neck out."

Sun Shun was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, "Alright, Lord Li, do as you see fit. I'm a civil official, not a military officer. I've prepared a motorcycle and a driver's license for you outside. These things aren't hard to come by, just don't cause any trouble if you hit someone."

"Thank you, Uncle Sun. If I really don't understand something, I'll ask you anytime."

Li Ye nodded, said goodbye, and left.

"A spy, a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

He glanced down at his hands, narrowing his eyes slightly. "A tough battle ahead!"

This reminded him of Fei Zhishang, that chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) guy. Although he was a bit silly, he was absolutely right about what he said.

In the world of martial arts, the strong are respected.

With a big fist, you can have anything.

How can you reason with someone if you don't have a big fist?

It's simply a matter of the East Wind prevailing over the West Wind, or vice versa.

Li Ye smiled confidently: "My favorable wind will definitely blow in Ningjiang City!"

As he walked, he picked up the phone and called Huang Qingyi directly.

"Hey?"

"We've got a mission. We're going to raid prostitution and organized crime tonight!"

"what?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? Your team has all resigned. I'm the captain, come over here."

Li Ye's tone was somewhat sinister, "I've just taken office, so I need to let Ningjiang City get to know me first!"
