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

"You...you're asking for it!!!"

I watched helplessly as He Li ate the Zhu Guo.

Tang Can's eyes were already red.

That was clearly an opportunity he had obtained.

Seeing that by consuming the Vermilion Fruit, he could avoid at least ten years of detours and quickly break through to a higher realm.

Afterwards, he was able to impress Jiang Mingyue and those who had looked down on him. However, He Li snatched this opportunity away and even ate it right in front of him.

He was even smacking his lips like that?

Thinking about how He Li always outshone me...

His fiancée also has a strong liking for He Li...

Now He Li has stolen the opportunity again...

New and old grudges combined...

Tang Can's anger rose from his heart, and evil thoughts arose in his mind.

He suddenly drew his sword, ignoring his pain, and unleashed an extreme speed to viciously stab He Li.

Judging from their expressions, they clearly wanted to kill him.

His furious outburst caught Tang Hao, who was already furious that He Li hadn't shown any respect and had still eaten the Vermilion Fruit, off guard, leaving him no time to stop him and only able to cry out in disbelief...

"Don't go, you can't kill him!!!"

Unfortunately, Tang Can did not hear his cries.

Even if you listen, it will be too late.

Because He Li had already grinned maliciously and raised his leg to retaliate...

Thud! A dull thud was heard as Tang Can's body was kicked away by He Li and slammed into a distant stone wall, exploding in two. Mutilated limbs and bits of flesh mixed with blood scattered all around.

"You saw it, he struck first."

He pulled his legs back and smiled with narrowed eyes.

The others felt a chill run through their bodies.

They unconsciously retreated, their fearful gazes fixed on Tang Hao, who stood frozen in place...

"A parent outliving their child!"

"It's over, it's really over now!"

"Tang Hao will definitely fight tooth and nail to kill that kid."

"Hey! Why didn't he hold back?"

"Because they're young, they don't consider the consequences of their actions."

"He killed Tang Can. What wouldn't Old Master Tang do in his grief? The worst part is that he's a Xuanzhi Realm expert—none of us can beat him!"

"If Tang Can dies, He Li will be killed too."

"He Li is a genius that the Special Affairs Bureau has its eye on. This matter has really blown up today..."

"We're probably not immune to it either!"

The warriors were filled with fear and worry, and were filled with unease.

No one thought He Li was still alive.

Even if he possesses terrifying strength and supernatural abilities, a Xuanzhi Realm martial artist is a being close to transcendence. They not only have astonishing combat power but also spiritual awareness that allows them to manipulate objects remotely.

Such a being would be no match for any martial artist at the third level of cultivation.

Of course, this excludes the panicked and uneasy warriors.

Jiang Hai and his daughter were also in a panic.

They didn't expect it to turn out this way.

"Dad... what... what should we do?"

"Tang Can is dead. Not to mention whether Tang Hao will take his anger out on us after killing He Li, the Special Bureau will never let us off the hook just because He Li died here."

"This...this..."

Jiang Mingyue was so panicked that she was completely at a loss.

Jiang Hai panicked, but he tried his best to remain calm.

"Don't panic...don't panic, there must be a way."

He looked up and scanned the area ahead, noticing that Tang Hao seemed still immersed in the grief of losing his grandson and hadn't yet come to his senses...

Jiang Hai's eyes flickered as if he had made a decision.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Mingyue, you immediately take He Li's partner and run out. Have her contact the Special Affairs Bureau to come and see if they can save He Li."

"I'll do my best to hold off Tang Hao and help him later."

"If the Special Affairs Bureau's support arrives quickly enough..."

"If He Li doesn't die, then everything will be fine!"

"This..." Jiang Mingyue hurriedly asked upon hearing this, "Then what about you? Are you going to help He Li stop Tang Hao? He's at the Profound Knowledge Realm, and you... you're only at the Opening Spirit Realm, how can you possibly stop him?"

"You...you'll die!"

As she spoke, Jiang Mingyue burst into tears.

Seeing this, Jiang Hai patted her on the shoulder.

"I used to be obsessed with martial arts and neglected my family. It was only after your mother passed away early, leaving you behind, that I realized my mistake and regretted it... I don't have any great ambitions in this life."

"Before, all I wanted to do was take good care of you..."

"I still want to fulfill the entrustment of my predecessors and to bring my Mad Sword Sect back to its former glory."

"But now, I only have one wish."

"That means you're doing well."

"At least let me have the face to see your mother."

With that, he turned and drew his sword, his gaze fixed on the seemingly crazed Tang Hao, and said without turning his head, "Go! If you find a suitable man after you get out, marry him."

"Don't aim too high in the future."

"After all, Dad won't be able to protect you anymore!"

"Dad!!!" Seeing Jiang Hai's actions, Jiang Mingyue seemed to already see Jiang Hai's tragic death.

She burst into tears immediately.

Yu Ji frowned upon seeing this.

"What kind of tragic drama are you two putting on?"

"He Li won't die, so tell your dad not to go looking for trouble!"

"Huh?" Jiang Mingyue fell silent upon hearing this.

Jiang Hai, with his keen hearing, also stopped and looked back at Yu Ji with some suspicion.

"Tang Hao is a Xuanzhi Realm expert."

"Then how can he... possibly win?"

"Anyway, I won't die!" Yu Ji shrugged.

Are you kidding? He Li has the ability to become intangible, making him immune to all physical attacks. Which martial artist could kill him? As for Tang Hao? He's lucky he wasn't killed by He Li.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hai and the others didn't know how to apply their abilities.

Therefore, they still harbored doubts.

At the same time, Tang Hao made a move...

He looked up, his bloodshot eyes fixed on He Li, whose body was radiating wisps of spiritual energy...

"I demand that you... pay for my grandson's life!!!"

"You little bastard, die!!!"

Whoosh! ! !

With the sound, Tang Hao's astonishing speed exploded instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of He Li, throwing a fierce punch. The punch brought gusts of wind, causing sand and stones to fly around.

Faintly, the crowd could still see that the force of the punches formed blurry, beast-like phantoms to aid the attack.

Seeing this, everyone became even more worried...

"This is... the true essence of martial arts?"

"No, that's not right, it's not the true essence of martial arts!"

"This should be a much weaker force!"

"Power? Yes, the true meaning of martial arts is the power that triggers the eruption of natural forces when a certain state of mind is reached, while power is the power that is not yet satisfied with the true meaning and is also vaguely tangible."

"After all, not everyone can comprehend the true meaning of martial arts."

"However, their momentum should not be underestimated."

"If He Li still had a chance of winning before, then now, facing Tang Hao who has the upper hand..."

"He's definitely going to die!"

"After all, Tang Hao is one of the Ten Martial Elders."

He is proficient in many martial arts.

"He might actually have a lot of influence."

"He Li has no chance of winning!"

The whispers of the crowd dampened the spirits of Jiang Hai and his daughter, who had initially held some hope. They both turned to look at Yu Ji, wondering if she was still as confident as before.

But then they saw that Yu Ji had closed his eyes.

At the same time, she was muttering something under her breath.

What's going on?

She knew she had no chance of winning...

So you close your eyes and wait to die?

Seeing this, Jiang Hai and his daughter regretted not taking action immediately after being intimidated by Yu Ji.

Now... it's too late to help He Li.

"Sigh, young people are just unreliable!"

"If I had known this would happen, I should have..."

Jiang Hai sighed inwardly.

But when he looked up and focused on the fight between He Li and Tang Hao, he suddenly realized something was wrong... He Li seemed to be completely unharmed, like a roly-poly toy.

What's going on here?

Jiang Hai was a little confused.

Of course, the others present also noticed.

"Huh? What... what's going on?"

"Why can't Tang Hao hit him no matter what?"

"Could it be that his eyesight is failing and he's lost his accuracy?"

"His eyesight is failing? He's a martial artist; his eyesight is better than that of the average young person. He wouldn't have failing eyesight... Maybe He Li has some special ability!"

"No? He still has the ability???"

"He's known as the Bone-Chewing Yama, but I've heard his only ability is to eat monsters, right?"

"Genius cannot be judged by common sense."

"Hehehe~ I feel like we're about to turn the tide."

"Now we don't have to worry about anything!"

The onlookers were filled with surprise and joy. In contrast, Tang Hao, who was fighting He Li, was in a terrible state. No matter what martial arts he used or even used his spiritual sense to control his sword to launch a sneak attack, it was useless.

This is like having eyes all over your body...

No matter how he attacks, he can dodge it!

This made Tang Hao even more annoyed.

"You little bastard, all you can do is hide?!"

He couldn't help but roar.

He Li sneered, "You old bastard, you're blind and can't hit me, and you still think you're right?"

"you!!!"

Tang Hao was furious, but he was helpless against He Li, so he could only unleash his full spiritual energy to attack faster and more fiercely, while He Li dodged and absorbed the effects of the Vermilion Fruit.

That vermilion fruit truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure!

After taking one pill, He Li felt a burning pain throughout his body, as if his flesh and bones were on fire.

Moreover, the spiritual energy within his body erupted like a river.

His physique gradually became stronger due to the strange effect of the Vermilion Fruit burning his flesh, and his cultivation level rapidly broke through his meridians and achieved breakthroughs along with the spiritual energy from the Vermilion Fruit...

Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Yang Wei Meridian, Yin Wei Meridian...

One after another, the extraordinary veins were opened up and connected.

He Li's momentum was rising steadily.

Tang Hao on the other side gradually began to sweat profusely...

Something's not right here!
