Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"What are you trying to prove, showing off like that?"

"You almost caused your grandfather, a white-haired man, to bury his black-haired son!"

He Li looked down at Tang Can at his feet, still mocking him without restraint.

Tang Can's pale face turned red with anger.

*Pfft!* With his internal energy surging, he finally couldn't hold back and spat out blood.

Tang Hao was heartbroken.

"Can'er!" He quickly stepped forward to help Tang Can up, took out a healing pill from his pocket and gave it to him. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tang Can's complexion had improved slightly after taking the medicine.

He Li didn't pay much attention to them.

His gaze fell on the strange creature that was attacking Tang Can.

This strange creature looks a bit like a locust.

But it was enormous, as tall as a human, and its head gleamed with a metallic sheen.

What He Li was most concerned about was...

The locust's abdomen has strange dark red patterns.

The pattern is strange.

It resembles some kind of ancient totem, and it is clearly painted on rather than naturally formed, which suggests that this seemingly strange locust may have been released by someone.

"Tsk, this is really interesting!"

He stared at the locusts, lost in thought.

Then, he suddenly exerted his strength and rushed forward.

The expressions of the people behind them varied.

Some people have high expectations for He Lixin's performance, while others think he is too reckless and impulsive and are not optimistic about him.

Of course, there are also those like Tang Can with venomous eyes...

"This monster is not like those wild beasts from before."

"Besides its astonishing power..."

"His speed is also very fast. Even I, who am at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, didn't have a chance to react. This kid rushed in recklessly, and even if he has some skills, he won't gain anything."

"I might get seriously injured by it too."

"Even... get killed by it!"

"That would be hilarious."

Tang Can thought maliciously to himself, his gaze sweeping over He Li and the locust monster in front of him.

However, when his gaze inadvertently swept from the locust monster to behind it...

He suddenly widened his eyes, his face beaming with joy.

"That...that thing is..."

His lips trembled slightly.

After being saved by Tang Hao with a pill, he actually managed to stand up, but everyone's attention was on He Li at the moment, so they didn't notice.

Meanwhile, ahead, as He Li approached, the locust monster was also preparing to launch an attack.

Its hind legs were slightly tucked in...

Whoosh! ! !

The next second, the locusts vanished from their spot.

The speed was so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to perceive.

"So fast!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

This locust attacked Tang Can even faster than before, perhaps because it hadn't been prepared either.

Now that we're ready, it's naturally faster.

This made everyone somewhat worried about He Li.

However, He Li was not afraid at all.

Unable to keep up with the speed of the locusts, he simply closed his eyes and, to everyone's astonishment, miraculously sidestepped the locusts' bodies to dodge their attack.

Even, in that very instant...

He Li not only dodged the attack.

He grabbed the locust's hind legs with his other hand and then pounded it with both hands like a sandbag.

BOOM! ...

With each dull thud, the locust was smashed to pieces by He Li, its green blood splattering everywhere.

Everyone stared in disbelief.

Subsequently, He Li became even more ruthless.

He actually grabbed the locust's legs with both hands and used his strength...

With a crisp sound, the locust monster was torn in two.

"Holy crap!!!"

"Is this the true fighting power of the Bone-Chewing Yama?"

"Terrifying! Terrifying!!!"

"That's too brutal!!!"

"No, what just happened? They moved too fast for me to see clearly. By the time I came to my senses, the locust monster had already been torn in half by He Li..."

"Wow, that's a true genius. What makes Tang Can even compare?"

"Tang Can? Pshaw, all he has is a good grandfather."

"Apart from that, it's nothing."

"Huh? What about Tang Can?"

Tang Can? Isn't he still lying there?

Hearing the exclamations of the crowd behind him, He Li thought to himself as he used his supernatural powers to devour the locusts. He then swiftly devoured the locusts like a whirlwind.

A long-forgotten whisper echoed in his mind...

[Target consumed: Iron-headed Locust]

[Status: Adult] 'In the process of transforming into a Gu'

[Gained Ability: Charge Up]

"Charge your power: Charge it up as much as you want, unleash it tenfold!"

Charging up power? This guy is definitely weird.

"No wonder it was so fast, it was using its power-accumulating ability to unleash ten times its speed and power... Hehe, now that I have that power-accumulating ability..."

"So, if I punch someone... a thousand tons???"

Thinking of this, He Li was overjoyed.

But soon, Yu Ji's voice interrupted his joy.

"Tang Can, what are you doing?"

"How did He Li defeat the monster?"

"That belongs to him, you're not allowed to take it!!!"

Hmm? Upon hearing this sound, He Li subconsciously looked up in the direction Yu Ji was facing, only to see Tang Can picking "tomatoes" from a small tree in the corner not far away.

Of course, because of Yu Ji's voice, the others also saw Tang Can's actions at this moment.

And take a closer look at the "cherry tomatoes" in Tang Can's hand.

Every martial artist was envious...

"Crimson...Crimson Fruit!!!"

"That's a Vermilion Fruit!!!"

Among the warriors, someone cried out in surprise.

Zhu Guo? So those "little tomatoes" are actually Zhu Guo?

Hearing the exclamations of others, He Li's eyes lit up.

Whoosh! Instantly, he moved with the speed of the wind, and at the same time, he slightly gathered power in his legs and in an instant, he passed Tang Can and appeared behind him. Tang Can only felt a gentle breeze on his face and his hand lighten.

Hmm? He subconsciously looked down...

Where is the Vermilion Fruit?

Tang Can was a little confused.

Behind him, He Li stared eagerly at the small, spiritually vibrant fruit in his hand.

"Is this thing equivalent to ten years of cultivation?"

"Try a bite!"

After saying that, He Li opened his mouth as if to swallow.

However, at this very moment...

Whoosh! A sharp sword came flying from the side. He Li raised an eyebrow and quickly retreated to dodge the flying sword. When he looked up, he realized that the attacker was Tang Can's grandfather, Tang Hao.

"Old man, what do you want to do?"

He Li showed no politeness whatsoever towards Tang Hao.

The latter was not annoyed by this.

He just stared at He Li and sneered, "Hmph, you stole Can'er's things and you still have the nerve to ask me what I want? I'd like to ask you, this junior, what you want."

As he spoke, he didn't give He Li a chance to respond.

He just stared coldly at He Li...

"Hey kid, give it back!"

"Out of respect for the Special Affairs Bureau, I can pretend that what just happened never occurred."

"Otherwise, I'll have to teach you a lesson on how to be a decent human being on behalf of my old friends at the Special Affairs Bureau!"

Upon hearing this, He Li's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Yu Ji couldn't help but refute him.

"What do you mean by 'stealing Tang Can's things'?"

"That originally belonged to He Li. If He Li hadn't solved the monster, how could Tang Can have gotten it? We haven't even mentioned that Tang Can, that thief, stole things while He Li was fighting."

"At your age, you still can't tell right from wrong..."

"You've truly wasted your entire life!"

Her words shocked everyone.

I thought He Li was arrogant enough.

I didn't expect this little girl to be such a pushover.

Tang Hao is a Xuanzhi Realm martial artist, how dare she call him a dog?

Is she really that brave?

Naturally, Tang Hao was quite embarrassed by Yu Ji's insults, but he hadn't yet figured out how to twist the truth and find a reason to retaliate.

Tang Can then spoke up.

"How did my grandfather distort the truth?"

He glared at He Li with hatred and said, "I was the first one to see that Vermilion Fruit."

"When I was first attacked by that monster..."

"I had already noticed the vermilion fruit."

"He was the one who came later."

"Besides, my grandfather can handle any kind of supernatural monsters."

"Who asked for his help? He insisted on going up there himself."

"The Vermilion Fruit should belong to me since I obtained it."

"He's in the wrong for stealing!"

Shamelessness truly belongs to this grandfather and grandson.

Yu Ji's face flushed red with anger, and she was about to say something when He Li interrupted her, squinting at Tang Can and asking, "So you mean whoever sees it first gets to keep it?"

"Not bad!" Tang Hao nodded at this moment.

Finally, he added confidently, "Since you understand, then return it quickly."

"So, about you stealing the Vermilion Fruit earlier..."

"And then there's that little girl who insulted me..."

"Even I, an old man, can be magnanimous and not hold a grudge."

"If you don't return it..."

Tang Hao's face was full of threat.

He Li remained unfazed upon hearing this, only revealing a rather roguish smile as he said, "Give it back? Heh, your grandson said he only saw the Vermilion Fruit when he was attacked by a monster."

"Is it possible that I saw the Vermilion Fruit earlier and more clearly than he did?"

"After all, his attention was focused on the monsters at the time."

"And I can even look around!"

"So, as you all said..."

"The Vermilion Fruit is mine!"

Having said that, without giving anyone a chance to object, He Li opened his mouth and stuffed the vermilion fruit into his mouth to chew...

Sizzle!!

Accompanied by the sound of fruit bursting in his mouth...

Tang Can's eyes were bloodshot with rage...
