Chapter 67: Sudden Mission

Li Yi gained a lot from staying at the training base for more than ten days. He not only mastered the use of various firearms but also roughly perfected his combat technique. During this period, he also cultivated by entering meditation with the help of the mystic object. Although he was still far from reaching the point of opening his spiritual perception, his physical fitness had truly and solidly strengthened, making up for some deficiencies caused by cultivating too fast before.

Li Yi, after settling down, could clearly feel that his strength had made another obvious progress.

But considering that he had been delayed here for a long time, he had to say goodbye to Li Li Shudi today and leave the second training ground.

"Oh, you're leaving so soon? Your combat technique still needs more practice, and there might be a possibility of further improvement." Li Li Shudi was surprised by Li Yi's sudden departure.

Li Yi said: "Although I also really want to continue practicing with Li Jiao, there are still many things waiting for me to do outside. I can't delay too long at the training ground base, so I plan to get the qualification for the other two training areas as soon as possible."

Although he said so, he knew in his heart that if he continued to stay at the training ground, he would probably be poor to death.

He spent a sum of money when training firearms before, and spent a sum of money on a large amount of nutrient solution in these ten days. Although he still had some savings in his hand, he couldn't just sit and eat until the sky fell. He still had to live, move to a new house as soon as possible, and cultivation also required money.

"However, you can't learn anything new in the second training ground anymore. Everything I can teach you, I've taught you. Your combat technique is very powerful. Staying here is just a waste of time. Going outside to experience more and going on a few missions will be more helpful to your progress. Go ahead, I'll sign the qualification certificate for you here, don't worry." Li Li Shudi nodded.

"Thank you for your guidance these days, Li Jiao," Li Yi said earnestly: "After I perfect the combat technique completely in the future, I will definitely carry it forward."

"Good, I'll wait for that day to come," Li Li Shudi said with a smile.

Li Yi didn't say more and prepared to head to the third training ground after saying goodbye to Li Li Shudi.

The third training ground was for training cold weapons. Li Yi didn't intend to waste time; he planned to get qualified as soon as possible and leave.

"Li Yi."

Suddenly, at this time, a voice came from the training ground, calling out to him as he was leaving.

Li Yi looked back and saw a tall and sturdy man striding over.

Scholar Lu Yue?

Li Yi was a bit surprised. He sized him up and found that the injuries Scholar Lu Yue had suffered from him had almost healed. More than ten days had passed, and he was alive and kicking again. The vitality of practitioners was truly strong, and their self-healing ability was nothing to say.

"Scholar Lu Yue, what's the matter?" He asked.

Scholar Lu Yue stared at Li Yi and said: "I thought you had already left the training base, but I didn't expect you to still be in the second training ground. Li Yi, did you forget something?"

"I don't know what you're referring to." Li Yi thought for a while, then shook his head.

"I sparred with you last time and lost, but I said before the spar that as long as you could beat me, I would give you the two million I won from Chen Hao before," Scholar Lu Yue said: "I don't have your contact information, and others on the training ground aren't familiar with you, so I've been waiting for you here."

Li Yi was stunned for a moment: "Just for this? I had forgotten it long ago."

"You forgot, but I didn't. What? Do you think I, Scholar Lu Yue, am someone who can't afford to lose?" Scholar Lu Yue was a bit annoyed: "Send me your card number, and I'll transfer the money to you immediately."

"Forget it. I didn't measure my strength well and let you lie in the hospital for ten days. Let this money be compensation for your medical expenses," Li Yi said casually.

Scholar Lu Yue immediately said: "One thing is one thing. If I lose, I admit it. Li Yi, don't be wishy-washy. It's just two million. It's not much to me. The money I earned during sparring is more than this."

"Alright then, since you said so, I won't be polite and will accept it."

Li Yi didn't insist anymore, took out his phone to add Scholar Lu Yue as a friend, and then sent his card number.

Scholar Lu Yue was also very straightforward and transferred the money immediately. Afterward, he said: "Li Yi, although I can't beat you now, I will still look for you to spar after I learn the technique in the future. Don't push it away then."

"Whenever you have the confidence to beat me, you are welcome to find me to spar," Li Yi laughed: "But in my opinion, you won't have such a chance again."

He wasn't bragging, but he was cultivating with the help of a mystic object, while this Scholar Lu Yue was just an ordinary practitioner. No matter what, he couldn't keep up with his growth speed.

"I know you've been learning martial arts from Li Jiao recently and your strength must have improved, but don't look down on people. You making progress doesn't mean I can't make progress." Scholar Lu Yue left with a fire of unwillingness to lose after speaking.

Li Yi didn't say anything watching him leave.

Arriving at the third training ground.

The number of practitioners participating in training here was also quite large. As soon as Li Yi arrived, he saw many people practicing the techniques of various cold weapons. It seemed that compared to fists and feet, cold weapons seemed to be more popular, after all, compared to fists and feet, cold weapons could better increase the close-combat ability of practitioners.

Just as Brother Tao said back then, although practitioners had high physical fitness, they weren't strong enough to resist knives and swords, especially weapons made of special steel, which were very sharp and posed a great threat to practitioners.

Li Yi watched for a while and was about to find an instructor for guidance when his phone rang suddenly.

Li Yi opened it and found that the caller was actually Wang Wang Jian.

"Hello, Wang Wang Jian, it's me, Li Yi." He connected the call.

"Li Yi, how is your training going? It's been more than ten days, and I haven't seen you report the situation to me," Wang Wang Jian said.

Li Yi said: "I just entered the third training ground. I was delayed for a period of time practicing martial arts in the second training area before. What's the matter?"

"There's a mission. I'm short of manpower here. Your training is temporarily suspended. Come to the entrance of the training base. My car will be there soon, and I'll pick you up then," Wang Wang Jian said immediately.

"So sudden?" Li Yi was surprised immediately.

His training wasn't even finished, and Wang Wang Jian needed people over there.

"No choice. If it wasn't an emergency mission, I wouldn't have pulled you out of the training ground. But with your ability, completing the training in the first and second areas is enough. The training in the remaining third and fourth areas won't improve you much. If you want to continue training, you can come over at any time after the mission is completed. Alright, that's all. Prepare yourself. If you have any questions, we'll talk when we meet."

Wang Wang Jian hung up the phone after speaking, not giving Li Yi any chance to ask.

Li Yi didn't complain seeing this, after all, Wang Wang Jian was indeed very busy and did things in this style, so he turned and left the third training ground immediately after hanging up the phone.

Returning to the dormitory of the training base, he took a quick shower, still put on the garment made from the python skin, drank his fill of golden nutrient solution, brought the broken knife coin with him, and headed straight for the gate of the base.

Looked at the time.

Only ten minutes had passed.

Li Yi waited at the gate of the training base for a few more minutes, and a special armored vehicle drove over rapidly and stopped in front of him.

The car door opened.

Wang Wang Jian's voice came from inside: "Li Yi, get in."

Li Yi didn't delay and entered the carriage immediately.

The car door closed, the engine roared, and the armored vehicle drove away rapidly.

After getting in the car, Li Yi saw the people in the car clearly.

The one driving was a strange man, Wang Wang Jian was sitting in the passenger seat, and He Xiong, who had previously lost an arm, was sitting beside him, holding a familiar-looking sniper rifle in his other hand. And in the back row, there was another person. Li Yi glanced at him and recognized him immediately.

"Chen Hao?" Li Yi was a bit surprised.

This Chen Hao was the practitioner who had been defeated by Scholar Lu Yue in the spar earlier.

"Li Yi, hello. I didn't expect to be on a team with you for this mission. I heard about what happened at the training ground before. You defeated Scholar Lu Yue with one punch and taught that guy a lesson. I thought you had already finished training and come out. I didn't expect you to still be at the training ground. If I had known, I should have gone to find you and get to know you in advance."

Chen Hao nodded, his words revealing his admiration for Li Yi.

"I've been learning martial arts from Li Jiao and rarely show up. It's normal that you don't know my situation. How is your state? Are your previous injuries healed?" Li Yi responded.

"No problem, I've fully recovered," Chen Hao squeezed his fist and said: "But that Scholar Lu Yue was really ruthless. He almost beat my eyes out. Fortunately, you sent him to the hospital. Otherwise, I don't know how many colleagues would have been injured."

"It's good that you're fine," Li Yi said.

"Let's get to know each other. My name is Zheng Gong, and I'm also an investigator, but I'm still in the internship period," the young man driving turned his head and looked, then greeted with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Li Yi, and I'm a field combatant. What happened this time that the operation is so sudden?" Li Yi was very surprised, and the car they were driving this time was different from what they usually drove.

Usually, Wang Wang Jian drove an ordinary car for missions, but this time it was an armored vehicle, and even the weapons were a bit special.

"Some dangerous things have slipped into the city district and need to be dealt with."

Wang Wang Jian on the side said in a low voice: "This matter is very sudden and a bit abnormal. Basically, all the investigators who can move over here have moved. I didn't want to pull you over to participate in this mission, but thinking that I happened to pass by the training base and your strength is quite good, I pulled you over."

"After all, having one more person is a good thing in the end."

Li Yi frowned and said: "Will there be extraordinary creatures? I see you even brought a sniper rifle."

"Just in case," He Xiong said with a smile: "We can't have no heavy firepower at all, right? Otherwise, what would we do if we encountered a sudden situation? Li Yi, you completed the training in the first area. How is your shooting level?"

"It's okay," Li Yi said: "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, just asking, to understand the personnel situation in advance," He Xiong said.

Li Yi asked again at this time: "By the way, Wang Wang Jian, how much is the salary for one such mission?"

"One hundred thousand," Wang Wang Jian replied.

"So little?" Li Yi was surprised.

Wang Wang Jian said: "That's just the mission fee for showing up. If you can kill fierce beasts or extraordinary creatures, there will be extra rewards. Don't worry, you won't be at a loss."

"That's good." Li Yi felt relieved. ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
