Looking at the illusory small characters in front of him, Yu Xiu was stunned and stood there.

"The hunt is over? This is what hunting is all about??"

Yu Xiu unconsciously raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He truly hadn't expected that the hunt, which he had been completely baffled by, would suddenly be completed in this way at this moment.

"This is truly a pleasant surprise for tonight."

Yu Xiu murmured softly, his smile growing even wider.

His gaze continued to slide downwards.

The words immediately surged like a tide, rapidly revealing the specific information about the new talent.

[Hunter's Instinct: Your hunting instinct, ingrained deep in your blood, has awakened. Your intuition will become sharper, and you will be able to detect unknown dangers lurking in the shadows.]

[Advanced Path: As one of the top predators in the starry sky, hunting is your forte. After completing twenty hunts, you can upgrade your talent.]

As the notification flashed, a warm current suddenly burst forth from Yu Xiu's body.

Before Yu Xiu could react, it had already spread to every corner of his body, seeping into the deepest part of every cell.

A moment later, the warm current quietly disappeared, and Yu Xiu's body returned to calm.

The changes after unlocking this talent are somewhat different from those before.

Yu Xiu looked down at his hands, his eyes gradually becoming suspicious.

He could clearly sense that he had just undergone some kind of evolutionary transformation.

However, he could not clearly describe in words what the specific area of ​​transformation was.

"My physical agility seems to have improved, and my thinking has become sharper... Could this be hunting instinct?"

Yu Xiu frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

But now is clearly not the time for deep thought.

Yu Xiu decisively decided to put it aside for the time being and study it slowly when he returned to school.

With that thought in mind, he looked away and strode forward.

Inside the deep alley, Ma Ping remained in the same posture as before.

He held the fallen blond man down tightly, as if afraid that the other man would run away.

Behind him, Liu Jianyang and Zhou Hua leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

The two had just arrived not long ago.

"Damn, this kid is fast. Even I, a student from the sports department, almost couldn't catch up with him."

Ma Ping muttered curses as he waved to the two people behind him.

"Come quickly and help me press the acupoints."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianyang and Zhou Hua quickly squatted down.

But as soon as the two reached out, they suddenly felt a warm, slippery, and disgusting sensation on their hands.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered to be incredibly bright red blood!

"Holy crap! How come there's so much blood?"

Liu Jianyang suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Zhou Hua reacted even more violently, swaying his body and muttering:

"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to faint."

"Wait, don't faint!"

Ma Ping grabbed Zhou Hua and made him sit on Huang Mao, using his absolute weight to suppress him.

He then freed his hands, took out his phone, and turned on the flashlight.

When the dim yellow light shone on the ground, the group noticed a gruesome wound near the yellow-haired man's right knee.

A large amount of blood slowly flowed out of the wound, soaking into a small pool on the ground.

At the same time, a section of white bone fragments could be vaguely seen at the wound site.

It's obvious that this is a fracture.

"hiss……"

Liu Jianyang took a deep breath and said in astonishment:

"Old Ma, weren't you a bit too ruthless?"

"I didn't do this."

Ma Ping rolled his eyes at him speechlessly and explained:

"It seems he broke his own bone in the fall."

"From a fall? You can get this badly injured from a fall on flat ground?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianyang was slightly taken aback and subconsciously asked in confusion.

"Who cares? He deserves it anyway."

Ma Ping said nonchalantly, and casually turned off the flashlight.

Liu Jianyang thought about it and realized that it made sense.

So he stopped thinking about the fracture and instead asked:

"So what should we do now? Should we call the police first?"

"Huh? It seems that's true."

Upon hearing this, Ma Ping belatedly realized the problem.

He quickly took out his phone, opened his contacts, and prepared to call the police.

But before he could make a move, an annoyed voice rang in his ear.

"Stop messing around, I already called the police. Can you guys please not be so impulsive? If something really happens, it'll be too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked up and saw Yu Xiu slowly walking over.

No one was surprised to see him arrive so late.

Given his frail health, this was perfectly normal.

"Cough cough..."

Ma Ping coughed lightly twice, his eyes darting around and avoiding eye contact.

He knew he had indeed acted impulsively, and that Yu Xiu's actions were the most correct.

"Old Yu, you're so thoughtful! Why don't you become our dorm's strategist from now on?"

Liu Jianyang sighed in admiration and then suggested with a grin.

Since the police have already been notified, there's nothing to worry about.

Everyone unconsciously relaxed a bit.

"I agree. Lao Yu is simply born to be a strategist."

Zhou Hua shifted his position, finding a more comfortable one, and continued:

"A sharp mind, a weak body, and frequent illnesses—this is clearly the standard template for an ancient military strategist."

"That makes sense!"

Ma Ping's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly.

Yu Xiu's face darkened, but unfortunately, he couldn't see clearly in the dark.

Just as the group was chatting, a piercing police siren suddenly sounded from not far away.

Not long after, a police car with blue and red lights flashing on its roof pulled up at the intersection.

After the car door was opened, three or four uniformed police officers stepped out.

Seeing this, the crowd quickly dragged the half-dead blond man over and recounted what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, the police officers immediately sent someone to the previous intersection and found the middle-aged woman who had been robbed.

The other party has now woken up from their coma.

After a few simple questions, everyone finally learned the whole story.

It turns out this wasn't a street robbery. The blond guy initially only wanted to steal a phone, but he was caught off guard when he tried to do it...

Huang Mao was unwilling to lose the phone he had just gotten his hands on, so he gritted his teeth and decided to take advantage of the darkness to rob it.

The two immediately clashed, which then attracted the attention of Yu Xiu and the others.

"I knew it! Who's that brave these days?"

Ma Ping suddenly realized that he had always found the act of robbing people on the street a bit strange.

"Young men, you guys are still students, right? Which school are you from?"

The middle-aged woman who had been victimized suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

She still had tear stains on her face from fright, but her eyes were full of gratitude as she looked at the group.

In response to her question, Liu Jianyang smiled slightly.

He stepped forward, his face full of righteous indignation, and said:

"Auntie, we're doing a good deed, we won't leave anything behind... Waaah..."

Before Liu Jianyang could finish speaking, Ma Ping and Zhou Hua rushed up and covered his mouth at the same time.

"Auntie, don't listen to his nonsense. We're from the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the University of Science and Technology..."

Ma Ping quickly recited the school, major, and class, as if afraid the other party wouldn't be able to find them.

After confirming that the middle-aged woman had taken notes, he and Zhou Hua finally let go of each other's hands.

Seeing Liu Jianyang's puzzled look, Zhou Hua secretly leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Old Liu, don't you understand? Doing good deeds anonymously is the same as doing them for nothing, right? Besides, it might even earn us extra credits."

Upon hearing that he could earn extra credits, Liu Jianyang's eyes instantly lit up.

He quickly broke free from their grasp, rushed to the middle-aged woman, and solemnly added:

"If you want to send Auntie a banner, remember to choose an extra-large one..."

Seeing Liu Jianyang's appearance, the police officers all smiled.

The ambulance that arrived later treated Huang Mao's injuries and then put him in the ambulance.

When the police officers and doctors discovered that he had suffered severe fractures, they found it very strange.

However, they did not connect this matter to Ma Ping and the others, let alone Yu Xiu, who had barely spoken.

"Next, we'll have to trouble you all to go back and give a statement, and also collect the reward for your act of bravery."

"no problem."

No one had any objections to this.

Although it was already very late, after experiencing such an exciting event, Ma Ping and the others were no longer sleepy.

Yu Xiu, of course, needs no further explanation.

At his current level of life, even if he doesn't sleep all night, he can still be full of energy the next day.

And so, everyone got into the car and headed towards the police station.

But no one noticed that at the entrance of another dimly lit alley behind them, a bald, middle-aged man was quietly hiding.

The middle-aged man stared intently in the direction the car had left, his gloomy eyes filled with malice and resentment.
