Chapter 40: Trouble with Fist Technique

After sending Xu Ming away, Li Yi felt a faint sense of unease in his heart.

Because the information Xu Ming revealed made him smell something different. From Yang Yi Long buying the *biao*'s corpse at a high price yesterday to taking the initiative to come over and mention the fist technique today, although he was reminding Li Yi on the surface, he was actually calculating a business in secret.

After Li Yi pondered for a moment, he understood: "That Yang Yi Long saw the punch prints on the *biao*'s corpse yesterday and probably became interested in my fist technique. Xu Ming coming here for a trip just now wasn't his own idea; it was mostly Yang Yi Long's instruction."

"It looks like I can't come to this place in the future. I must leave immediately to avoid trouble coming to my door."

Thinking of this, he counted his salary, confirmed there was no problem, and immediately went out with his things.

But just as he was about to leave.

Li Yi suddenly remembered one thing. He turned around and walked toward Zhang Gao's previous room. He had promised Zhang Gao one thing: to hand over the money he earned to his family.

Because the door was locked, he didn't have a key and couldn't open the door.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yi raised his hand and smashed a punch onto the door lock.

"Bang!"

The door was opened.

After Li Yi walked in, he packed up Zhang Gao's personal items, including the salary he left in the room.

"Li Yi, what are you doing?" At this moment, a voice sounded. It was Lu Jue, who hadn't left yet.

"Zhang Gao is dead. He died in the Danger Zone. Before he died, he asked me to hand his things to his family. I'm helping him pack and organize," Li Yi said. "Didn't you already leave? Why are you still here?"

Lu Jue said, "It was too late last night, so I stayed for one more day. I'm preparing to leave now. I also heard about Zhang Gao's matter last night. Not just him, that Spirit Medium Realm Li Tao also died. Sure enough, it was right that I didn't participate in this matter. If I had gone, I probably would have died too."

Then he felt a bit fortunate.

Li Yi said, "Who can be sure about some things? If you don't fight, you can never change anything."

"We ordinary cultivators can't compare to you, Li Yi, who is gifted. You went to the Danger Zone this time and not only became a Spirit Medium Realm cultivator but also hunted a fierce beast and earned a full 20 million. It makes people envious and jealous. I said long ago that you and we are not on the same path. Your potential is infinite, and your future achievements will be limitless."

Lu Jue didn't spare any praise and admiration for Li Yi at this moment.

Walking on the edge of life and death, and being the only one to return alive, if this isn't ability, what is?

"I'm leaving. How about you?" Li Yi didn't say much and was about to leave with his bag.

"Li Yi, you probably don't know Zhang Gao's family. If you trust me, hand Zhang Gao's things to me, and I'll help you do this," Lu Jue said.

Li Yi looked at him and didn't speak.

Lu Jue laughed. "If you don't trust me, add my contact information. If there's a problem, you can find me. How about that?"

"Good." Li Yi didn't refuse, added Lu Jue's contact information, and left Zhang Gao's things behind.

But then he thought about it and took out 500,000 and stuffed it into Zhang Gao's luggage.

"After all, we knew each other once, and we lived and died together. This money is my personal subsidy. I hope Zhang Gao's family will live better in the future. Also, if Brother Tao's family comes, you help me send 500,000 to his family too. It's also my personal heart."

Li Yi then thought of Brother Tao's death and felt a bit sorry. He took out another 500,000 and handed it to Lu Jue.

Lu Jue was stunned. "This, this isn't necessary, right? Giving away 100,000 just like that? Their matters have nothing to do with you, and there will be compensation from Yang Yi Long's side."

Li Yi said, "If it weren't for Brother Tao's care this time, I wouldn't have been able to come back alive. It's just that the two of them were a bit unlucky... I hunted a *biao* this time and earned 20 million. It's only right to take out some money. It's a pity I'm not rich either, so I can only take out this much. I hope their families won't dislike it for being too little."

"Alright, I understand. I will handle this matter well." Lu Jue nodded.

"Thank you. Let's keep in touch often in the future. I have to go back to take care of my parents at home," Li Yi said.

"Good, then you go first. I'll wait here for a while. I estimate that the families of the victims will come today," Lu Jue said.

Li Yi nodded and turned to leave.

Lu Jue watched Li Yi leave and then looked at the money in his hand, sighing. "This Li Yi is really decent. He repays kindness with kindness and hatred with hatred. Knowing such a person is really a good thing. If that Zhao Xiaoxiao knew about these things, she would probably regret it for a lifetime."

He took the initiative to take on this matter just now because he also wanted to make friends with Li Yi.

Even just knowing him was a good thing.

Lu Jue knew very well in his heart that if he missed today, it would probably be difficult to know him in the future.

At this moment, Li Yi took the elevator, preparing to take a taxi to leave the Stability Zone and return to the old city.

However, as the elevator ran and descended.

Strangely, Li Yi had clearly pressed the elevator to the first floor, but the elevator didn't stop on the first floor and continued to descend. He pressed it repeatedly several times, but the elevator had no reaction, as if it were out of control.

"Hmm?" Such a scene made him feel a bit strange.

But then, Li Yi realized something, and his face instantly tightened.

The elevator wasn't broken; it was controlled by someone.

Ding!

As the elevator door opened.

The elevator sent Li Yi to the first basement level.

Here, the lights were bright, the venue was spacious, and there were tracks, wooden stakes, and weightlifting equipment around, like a training ground.

However, in the middle of the training ground, a tall and straight figure stood there early, as if waiting for Li Yi's arrival all along.

Yang Yi Long!

Li Yi's eyes shifted slightly. Sure enough, his unease earlier was correct.

Yang Yi Long had targeted him.

"Li Yi, hello. I'm sorry for using this method to meet you," Yang Yi Long opened his mouth calmly.

Li Yi walked out of the elevator at this moment. He laughed. "I knew it. The 20 million yesterday wasn't so easy to take. Mr. Yang, there's no one else here, so let's get straight to the point. Is Mr. Yang interested in my fist technique? After all, a poor boy like me doesn't have anything that can catch Mr. Yang's eyes."

"Not bad."

Yang Yi Long nodded. "Your fist technique seems simple, but it contains the mystery of human body power. Li Yi, name a price. I want to buy your fist technique, and I will never let you suffer in terms of price."

He didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

"Mr. Yang, if I don't sell it, will I be cut into two halves by you like He Jun yesterday? At the same time, can you take this money back?" Li Yi shook the money box in his hand.

Yang Yi Long frowned and immediately said, "Li Yi, you look down on me, Yang Yi Long, a bit too much by saying that. Do you think I, Yang Yi Long, am meeting you today to force a buy and sell, or to rob you? If you don't want to talk, you can leave now. I will never stop you."

"Sorry, Mr. Yang. I live in the old city and have been poor since I was a child. I've seen a lot of dirty things, so I inevitably have such thoughts. I don't doubt Mr. Yang's character, but in this atmosphere, I inevitably let my imagination run wild," Li Yi apologized.

Yang Yi Long's expression softened a little. "Understandable. This meeting was also my lack of consideration for not greeting you in advance, which led to some misunderstandings. I apologize to you here."

"Mr. Yang, you are too polite."

Li Yi waved his hands repeatedly and then said, "To be honest, I am still quite grateful to you, Mr. Yang. Not only did you give me a high-paying job, but you also bought my prey at a high price, allowing me to take such a large sum of money to improve my life. Since Mr. Yang is interested in my fist technique, talking about buying and selling is too distant. I can perform it for you for free, Mr. Yang."

After speaking, Li Yi put down the money box and walked over while looking left and right. "There should be cameras here, right?"

"After I perform the fist technique, Mr. Yang can record my movements through the camera, then analyze and learn them repeatedly. As for how much Mr. Yang can learn, that depends on Mr. Yang's talent."

"Li Yi, I said I wouldn't let you suffer. Name a price. Let's trade fairly. I'll pay for your fist technique. That way, we won't owe each other anything," Yang Yi Long said seriously.

Li Yi laughed. "Alright, Mr. Yang. I've already earned enough money from you, and the value of a fist technique is hard to define. If I name a low price, it's inevitable that people will suspect you have the intention of coercion and forced buying. If I name a high price, it makes me look a bit ungrateful."

"So I think it's better to perform it for free. That way, it won't cause misunderstandings."

Yang Yi Long fell silent.

And Li Yi had already thought of a countermeasure in his heart: teach fake boxing to fool Yang Yi Long.

Master Zhao Ge said that if the posture of practicing boxing is even slightly wrong, it will leave internal injuries, and paralysis is even possible in the future.

Moreover, the fiercer the punch, the greater the internal injury. Practicing wrong fist techniques is equivalent to suicide.

You want my fist technique. I want you paralyzed. This is very reasonable.

I am truly born evil. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
