Armor-Piercing could only be used once every half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This determined that the skill could only serve as a trump card and not a common technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through testing, Lou Yi discovered that when the distance was more than two steps, the eggs would at most have some cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that the damage of the advanced skill Armor-Piercing decreased geometrically with the increase in distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which means, to inflict the greatest damage on the enemy, there must be zero-distance physical contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the so-called belief effect, Lou Yi also tried using the control variable method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The controlled distance was two steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the first axe strike, he emptied his mind, thinking of nothing, and a barely noticeable crack appeared on the egg’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the second axe strike, a strong desire for the egg to shatter arose in his heart, as if it were his mortal enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Crack!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The egg actually shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lou Yi felt a dizziness in his brain, akin to the fatigue after staying up for two nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A backlash, huh...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi wasn’t worried about harming himself, as long as he had enough energy, the Attribute Panel could instantly heal him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Lou Yi started testing the maximum damage level of Armor-Piercing in zero-distance meat-to-meat contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bought several live chickens and sheep from the market, and even had Liu Yuan bring him an old cow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In meat-to-meat contact situations, the live chickens and sheep were instantly killed, and when dissected, their organs were all smashed into mush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the old cow, it was only killed by Armor-Piercing on the third attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the output and strength of a cow’s heart is more than five times that of an ordinary human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a martial artist’s heart, at least a high-level martial artist’s heart, is surely stronger than an ordinary cow’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even if it can’t cause instant death,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>inflicting massive damage on the opponent, causing them to lose certain mobility, can still achieve the effect of turning the tide of battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the power of Armor-Piercing increases as one’s strength continues to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Axe skill advanced to Minor Achievement, gaining a third advanced axe skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skill improvement stops here for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi decided that moving forward, he would focus entirely on talents and the Breathing Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A week later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day had arrived to retrieve the Heart-Eroding Grass from the Beast Hunting Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi stepped into the main district, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the few residential homes around the Beast Hunting Bureau’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silhouettes silently lay prone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wore blue clothes, blending almost seamlessly with the blue tiles, not noticeable unless one looked closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from their aura, they were very similar to the two who had previously ambushed Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xu Family really is relentless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi took out the slingshot, swung it in an eight-character formation, and the stone followed the line of the rope’s tangent, being rapidly hurled out, faster than a regular arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whoosh!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hit a bird flying low in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bird free-fell from the air and landed squarely on one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, what the hell!\" The man exclaimed in shock, nearly falling off the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other lurking individuals rushed over to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking this opportunity, Lou Yi’s figure flickered as he entered the Beast Hunting Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beast Hunting Bureau was under the City Lord’s Mansion, related to the government’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much power the Xu Family had, they couldn’t make a move inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the guard was replaced by a young man with a shadowy countenance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had three conspicuous moles on the right side of his cheek, dressed in a white scholar’s robe, and he was the only one present on site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask what you need?\" The scholar was quite polite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here to collect seven stalks of Heart-Eroding Grass.\" Lou Yi handed over his token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you’re Liu Shu, right?\" The scholar raised his head to confirm, a flicker of oddity in his eyes, \"Please wait a moment while I get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a moment without any movement, Lou Yi sensed something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jumped over the counter and went straight to the inner room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, he could see black wooden cabinets closely aligned against the walls, with many drawers hanging atop, similar to a pharmacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the scholar who had just gone inside was nowhere to be seen, and the wooden door at the back of the inner room was wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Lou Yi rushed towards the wooden door, swiftly navigating through twisting passages, and exited through another door of the Beast Hunting Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whoosh!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Executing his Light Body Technique, he blended like a phantom into the crowd on the distant street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi looked towards the east, squinting his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, several powerful auras were rapidly approaching, each with a cultivation level above Minor Circulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Beast Hunting Bureau won’t be so easy to visit from now on,’ thought Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xu Family wouldn’t dare to act inside the bureau, as that would insult the City Lord’s Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But placing spies to report information is definitely something they can do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the guards of the Beast Hunting Bureau do not have an official rank; they are all regular Beast Hunter Guards working for task contributions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of that scholarly man in white with three moles on his face, Lou Yi felt a surge of murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If people don’t provoke him, he doesn’t provoke them; if anyone ever provokes him, he will certainly repay them when he gets the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi left the area and returned to the southern part of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he passed through a familiar alleyway, he suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At chest-height on the seventh tree in this alleyway was a shallow symbol carved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an agreement he had made with Shi Qingde; if either needed help, this was how they would notify each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just thinking about finding Shi Qingde to have him get the Heart-Eroding Grass for me,\" Lou Yi thought, \"and I could also ask Shi Caifeng about those rare treasures we can’t get. Perhaps she has the privilege to look at the top-grade exchange register.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Lou Yi changed his direction of movement and soon arrived in front of the ’Shi Family Pawnshop’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to go in, a voice called out from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu brother, over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi turned around and saw Shi Qingde sneakily waving to him from an alley entryway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking over, he found Jiang Chenyu, Yan Ze, and a few other familiar faces there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were not in good shape, each sporting bruises and covered in injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" Lou Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, don’t even mention it.\" Shi Qingde looked gloomy, \"My sister can’t get out, and the Caifeng Squad is likely on the brink of disbandment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he listened to the story, Lou Yi’s expression slowly turned strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason being the eternal topic: marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Caifeng liked women, he knew, and her family was naturally even more aware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was already in her twenties, which in this world certainly made her a late-blooming young lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had often been away from home, so her family couldn’t do much about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, her father seized the opportunity and locked her up at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he issued a tough threat, say she could never leave if she doesn’t get married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Qingde and his team went to rescue her but were beaten out, each with some flesh wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu brother, this time we have to rely on you,\" Shi Qingde looked at Lou Yi pitiably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other teammates also cast hopeful looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you want me to do, storm in and kidnap her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, my dad said I could call for help,\" Shi Qingde said excitedly, \"At that time, you just keep my dad busy so he can’t attend to everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will go and rescue my sister, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your dad’s cultivation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven Blood only,\" Shi Qingde said sheepishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Full Cycle? You’re overestimating me,\" Lou Yi was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t Shi Caifeng who was trapped, he would probably turn around and leave immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was now, he could match against Great Circulation, but he was still quite far from a Full Cycle peak martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Full Cycle martial artists represent nearly perfect physical strength, each having a force of ten thousand pounds, even if they advance to the Martial Artist level, they wouldn’t improve much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his skills were mainly in some lethal techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Shi Qingde’s dad, his hands would be tied, and he would be less capable than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, I have a clever plan,\" Shi Qingde said slyly, \"My dad is a heavy drinker, and I’ve already put ’Mongolian Powder’ in his drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’ll definitely get wasted soon, without suspicion. Maybe you won’t even need to do a thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi couldn’t help but laugh and cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving knockout drugs to his own dad, Shi Qingde was indeed a character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will it work?\" Shi Qingde looked at him pitifully, the other team members also cast their gazes, putting pressure on Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s give it a try.\" Lou Yi pondered slightly and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it’s not dangerous, so he might as well join in their nonsense once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could also take the opportunity to witness Full Cycle’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the inner courtyard of the Shi Family Pawnshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly man in black with slightly greying temples but hardly any wrinkles on his face lay ungracefully on a bamboo cot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clothes were half undone, barefoot on the ground, holding a wine gourd, and pouring it into his mouth, oblivious to the wet stain spreading on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, troublesome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The barefoot elder was worried about his daughter’s life decisions, feeling troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he drank, a sense of drowsiness seemed to be creeping up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ’clatter’, the wine gourd dropped to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a room next to the courtyard, a few people were nervously observing the situation through a crack in the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, they were all overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu brother, go and test it out. My sister’s happiness depends entirely on you!\" Shi Qingde said shamelessly, handing Lou Yi a key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi was speechless but still walked up and found that the elder indeed had no reaction, even snoring had started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, there was a white stone slab exposed on the ground, about the size of an ordinary door panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the entrance to the cellar where Shi Caifeng was trapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi took out the key, just about to go forward and unlock the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" a voice suddenly sounded behind his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1820,"2026-05-30T02:45:59.887Z","2026-06-01T04:30:04.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","ed9b78c706995170c7a2004ef3f93ee439e9970bd413f67b1cde3cd25c8a6117","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-128","becoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-chapter-126",784,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-saint-by-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
