If it weren't for Liu the Clay Figure taking him in, he might not have been able to integrate well into the world of one person, especially the world of one person during the Republic of China era.

He might get beaten to death by the thugs on the street the next day.

However, Huang Yu didn't think much of it. It wasn't a matter of life and death; he could just come back to visit from time to time.

"Old Liu, I will come back to visit you often!"

Huang Yu bid farewell to Liu the clay figurine maker and went to the main street, heading straight for the city gate.

As he got closer to the city gate, just as Liu the Dough Man had said, he soon felt some prying eyes.

Huang Yu's lips curled up slightly: "Heh, these people are really impatient."

Chapter 8 Secret Painting of Dou Ruchang

Huang Yu concentrated and carefully sensed the surroundings, discovering at least three pairs of eyes watching him from different directions. Moreover, they were not a group.

In other words, at least three forces have approached him.

"Ha, am I that popular now?"

Huang Yu narrowed his eyes. He was very confident in his senses. After half a year of cultivation, his life cultivation had increased significantly, which was reflected on the panel as an increase in his basic attributes.

Current basic attributes:

Constitution: 4.7 → 5.2 (+0.5)

Spirit: 2.6 → 3.0 (+0.4)

Energy: 17.9 → 27.9 (+10.0)

Among them, the most remarkable is the increase in energy attribute, which directly increased by 10 points.

This is all thanks to the [Refining Essence] talent, which allows Huang Yu's true strength to increase significantly every day.

This low-end version of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief talent can be said to be the strongest and most promising talent that Huang Yu has obtained so far!

Besides that, there's the increase in physical and mental attributes. It may not seem like much, but compared to ordinary superhumans, it's already quite terrifying.

Currently, Huang Yu's mental attributes are the lowest, at only 3 points, but he is still given three times the perception, willpower, analytical and computational abilities, and mental resilience of an ordinary person.

This is also why Huang Yu was able to quickly discover that someone was following him.

"Let me see who these villains are!"

Huang Yu's eyes lit up slightly as he casually glanced around.

The Disguise Master: A natural talent for physiognomy!

launch!

In an instant, Huang Yu collected all the appearances, clothing, expressions, and various small gestures and details of everyone around him.

Countless pieces of information flooded into Huang Yu's mind, where he continuously analyzed and integrated them.

Huang Yu's brain felt slightly hot, but with three times the mental capacity of an average person, he could still handle it.

Soon, all the people who were following him were identified.

The person who was following them has been detected by counter-surveillance, which makes things easier. With his abilities, he can easily shake them off by blending into the crowd.

Huang Yu remained expressionless, pretending not to have noticed anything, and then began to walk towards the crowd.

As he rounded a corner, Huang Yu quickly changed his appearance and blended into the crowd.

Still not entirely at ease, he changed his appearance several more times in the crowd until he no longer felt spied on, and only then did he leave the city.

"They should have all been shaken off."

Huang Yu looked back at the tall city wall and felt a sense of relief.

"Now that this matter is settled, I can finally swim freely in the sea, and no one can restrain me anymore!"

"Okay, let's head south first, to Sanyi Gate, and see if we can sneak in!"

He absolutely had to learn the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique, because when the Japanese invaded in the future, and guns and cannons raged on the battlefield, he would need to have skills to save his life.

Even with his ability to warn of danger, he cannot guarantee that he will dodge all attacks when he is under concentrated fire.

Moreover, it is estimated that these high-level techniques are also required for the advancement of the [Alchemist] profession.

Having determined his direction, Huang Yu began heading south.

Skilled and daring, Huang Yu decided to walk to Fujian alone, without going with anyone.

He already has the confidence to venture into this world.

However, after walking for about half an hour, Huang Yu raised an eyebrow and looked behind him. He keenly sensed that a group of people was chasing after him.

Moreover, they were all alchemists!

"They didn't shake them off? They have other tracking methods?"

"That's interesting..."

Huang Yu stopped and waited for the other party to come to him. He wanted to find out what methods they used to locate him!

A moment later, five people dressed in different ways caught up and stood opposite Huang Yu.

Huang Yu glanced at them briefly, analyzing their background: "Three martial arts experts, each specializing in fist, leg, and staff respectively, they should be bodyguards and henchmen."

"One has golden eyes, so its abilities must be related to its eyes."

"And the one in the mandarin jacket, I can't tell what his background is, but judging from his behavior, he should be the leader among the five."

"These five people are not difficult to deal with."

Huang Yu felt a little more at ease, and then asked the middle-aged man in the middle wearing a mandarin jacket and with a slicked-back hairstyle, "Gentlemen, what's the matter that you've gone to so much trouble to chase after me?"

The middle-aged man stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Master Huang, I am Dou Ruchang from the Secret Painting Workshop. I apologize for disturbing you, but I have important matters to discuss with you!"

Huang Yu was slightly taken aback. The secret painting of Dou Ruchang?

Dou Ruchang, one of the Thirty-Six Bandits?

Dou Ruchang continued, "My superiors want to invite you to join us. Your methods are very important to us."

"Don't worry, we won't force you. You can tell us your requirements directly."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yu narrowed his eyes, his mind racing.

The person above?

He remembered that Dou Ruchang was the third-in-command of the Secret Painting, and also the true face and respected figure of the Secret Painting, and indeed had special connections with the higher-ups.

Towards the end of the War of Resistance against Japan, while the Thirty-Six Bandits were all worried about the future of the war, Dou Ruchang had special information channels and revealed the good news that the war was about to end.

Unfortunately, after the sworn brotherhood of the Thirty-Six Thieves was exposed, Dou Ruchang, who had a bright future, chose to end his own life after a public confrontation. He cut out his heart and killed himself in front of everyone to prove his innocence.

However, Huang Yu did not expect that it was only 1921, and Dou Ruchang was already working for a certain force and was even trying to recruit him!

Huang Yu asked directly, "I wonder which faction Mr. Dou represents?"

Dou Ruchang was silent for a moment, then pointed south.

Huang Yu thought to himself, "As expected, Dou Ruchang has a very sharp eye."

Seemingly fearing Huang Yu's disapproval, Dou Ruchang explained:

"Master Huang, don't be fooled by the current weakness of the South. Only the South can save China!"

"These warlords in the north are all only interested in seizing territory. They are obsequious to foreign powers and tyrannical to their own people. They are of no benefit to the country or the nation!"

"The south is currently developing rapidly and is determined to rebuild China. We sincerely invite Master Huang to join us and fight together for the nation and the people!"

Huang Yu shook his head upon hearing this, saying that things wouldn't work in the south either.

He declined, saying, "Mr. Dou, I'm sorry, but I am merely a Taoist practitioner and have no intention of serving anyone."

Dou Ruchang continued to plead, "Master Huang can ask for anything he wants: money, miraculous skills, even official positions. We can give them to Master Huang."

Huang Yu continued to shake his head: "I don't want to join any faction at this stage, so you don't need to bother me anymore."

"Hmph! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! Lord Dou, I think there's no need for further words. Let's take the man back first!"

At this moment, the yellow-eyed man next to Dou Ruchang spoke up disdainfully, opening his mouth to tie Huang Yu up and take him back.

Dou Ruchang frowned slightly and reprimanded, "Zhang Qing, let me handle this matter!"

Zhang Qing, the yellow-eyed man, shook his head: "Lord Dou, our mission is to bring the person back. I just want to complete the mission."

Listening to the argument between the two, Huang Yu understood that Dou Ruchang seemed unable to control his subordinates.

He said with a half-smile, "Mr. Dou, why don't you discuss this first, and then come talk to me?"

Chapter 9 Tan Tui (Tan Leg), Bagua Gun (Eight Trigrams Staff), Tie Xian Quan (Iron Wire F

Dou Ruchang's face instantly turned ugly, but Zhang Qing didn't care at all.

He immediately ordered one of his burly henchmen, who was wearing leg wraps, "Tan Tuiqiang, take him down!"

Tan Tuiqiang nodded silently and walked in front of Huang Yu: "Master Huang, I apologize."

Immediately, a whip kick lashed out at Huang Yu's side, its speed as swift as the wind, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.

Bang!

However, the scene that Tan Tuiqiang had envisioned—Huang Yu being kicked away—did not happen!

A hand as hard as steel gripped his calf tightly.

"How is this possible?"

Tan Tuiqiang's expression changed drastically as he realized that Huang Yu was not easy to deal with. He suddenly exerted force with his left leg, trying to pull his right leg out.

Unfortunately, even though he exerted all his strength and his face turned red, his right leg remained motionless, as if it were welded firmly to the ground by steel bars.

Seeing that things were hopeless, Tan Tuiqiang quickly changed his fighting style, pushing off the ground with his left leg and using the momentum to kick Huang Yu in the head.

"Ah!"

Huang Yu sneered and grabbed Tan Tuiqiang's right leg, slamming it hard into the ground.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
