Chapter 105

"The Inspection Department will clean up the scene."

Having spoken these words, the heavy stone pressing on Secretary Huo's heart seemed to have been lifted, and his spirit relaxed for a moment.

He was quite certain that this Zi Fu No. 9 Middle School Physical Education Teacher with inconvenient legs, his Qi Life Force now might not exceed that of the few dedicated professionals in the Inspection Department's Action Division.

But once they exchanged blows, his side would inevitably pay a tragic price, even causing massive casualties.

The other party served in the Gouchen Ancient Star's Fourth War Corps, having truly participated in hunting juvenile Star Gods and sweeping up Upper-level Attendants, a special forces unit.

His file's confidentiality level was extremely high; even Chen Ruofu, the head of the Taian Inspection Department, could not view part of its contents.

Military authorization must be obtained to activate reading permissions.

In a certain sense, all of these reflected Liang Zhengxiong's danger level.

"Mr. Liang, regarding the unfair treatment you suffered during your teaching tenure in the Dangyang East Suburbs, the Minister said he deeply regrets it.

But the Education Bureau side is difficult for him to interfere with..."

Secretary Huo bowed slightly, his eyes holding genuine respect; if the file's contents were accurate, this Teacher Liang with a crippled leg was fully qualified to be called a combat hero of the Dongxia Republic.

"No need. To tell the truth, I have a weird temper and hold a stereotyped impression of Administrative Star bureaucrats, not too willing to deal with you all; from now on we each go our own way."

Lao Liang felt his cigarette case, inside it was empty; Secretary Huo hurriedly took out a pack of the special supply orchid grass he usually smoked from his pocket, walked up and handed it over.

"Here, Mr. Liang, try this, it's just light in flavor, might not be too accustomed to it."

Lao Liang took one, lowered his head and clamped it in his mouth; Secretary Huo used his hand to shield the wind and pressed the lighter to light it.

"Pretty good, I'm quitting smoking, too strong a flavor easily triggers cravings. Right, what should I call you?"

"Surnamed Huo, Huo Erwen, serving as Chief Secretary to General Affairs Director Chen Ruofu of the Inspection Department."

Lao Liang turned his head, sized him up with two glances, and asked:

"Your Leader has taken a fancy to Xiao Shi?"

Secretary Huo hummed in acknowledgment, carefully choosing his words:

"Qin Classmate possesses outstanding talent, excels in both character and academics, was just elected a top student in the Taian Metropolitan Area's Talent Cultivation Project, and won the Education Fund qualification. The Minister thinks highly of him, hopes he can become the Hengzhou Martial Association's Shao Nian Biao Zhuo, Cai Tian Mo Fan."

Lao Liang didn't seem to have any resistance, nodded and said:

"Your Leader has good judgment, counts as him picking up a treasure."

Secretary Huo put away the cigarette case, said softly:

"Qin Classmate's talent, circumstance, and even luck, placed in Hengzhou, are likewise top-tier.

But the Minister considers he is still young in years, hopes to wait until the day his talent is realized, then seek a broader future.

Otherwise, he would have the Education Bureau find a way to get a Four Great National Universities special recruitment quota no matter what."

These words of his were both explanation and probing.

On one hand to avoid Mr. Liang, and Qin Shi himself, being dissatisfied, after all the Four Great National Universities are the life opportunity dreamed of by Dongxia's countless students; on the other hand to see their plans, if they insist on rushing for the Four Great National Universities, the Minister would not obstruct either.

"Your Leader's consideration is very reasonable. Dongxia has never lacked geniuses, especially on the Martial Artist Path, this road has too many outstanding heroes. Although Xiao Shi's talent stands out, just as geniuses need growth, talent also needs realization."

Lao Liang smoked, exhaled mist, and agreed:

"I believe after settling another year or two, Xiao Shi will naturally rise to fame, shining upon the Star Sea."

Secretary Huo let out a long breath, very fortunate at Lao Liang's reasonableness.

He retreated two steps, bowed and said:

"We won't disturb Mr. Liang any further."

Lao Liang's tone was sincere, he stubbed out the cigarette butt and said:

"Trouble you to wash the floor, just now I didn't hold back, made a real mess, if possible help clean it up."

【37】 Secretary Huo naturally had no objection, he turned and called to the few Action Division dedicated professionals who had come menacingly:

Secretary Huo naturally had no objection; he turned and called out to the several full-time job-level personnel of the Action Division who were bursting with momentum:

"Everyone lend a hand too."

Those Senior Inspectors who had rushed over eagerly to arrest Gao Haipeng looked at each other in dismay, smiling wryly helplessly.

Turns out they came to clean the battlefield!

……

……

"Spiritual Residence Inner Landscape, so it's like this."

Qin Shi in the Thinking Hall lowered his head, the Consciousness Space filled with soft white light inch by inch, seemed to have loaded a brand new background.

Overhead the blue sky was washed clean, white clouds leisurely, beneath him green grass lush, behind him great trees towering... brimming with vibrant life.

"Spirit lively, thoughts condensed, the evolved Inner Landscape is full of life, not dead and stagnant like before."

After Qin Shi passed the Prison Gate, his mind was as if mist gathered and dispersed, materializing and permeating the surroundings.

He naturally succeeded, broke through the Spirit Gate's Great Limit, his already exceptionally keen Five Senses elevated once more.

The sound wave frequencies his ears captured, the dynamic frames his naked eyes could see, even touch, smell, taste were all brand new.

Just like switching to a new computer with a 4090TI, performance greatly enhanced once again.

"These are all the 'Techniques' and 'Methods' I've learned."

Qin Shi raised his head, saw several stone steles standing on the grass, respectively imprinted with Hong Sheng True Transmission's Hundred Aspects Refining Force, Master Uncle's Nourishing Spirit Technique, He Lanchan's "Void Meditation Method".

He stood up, reached out to stroke the inscriptions, knife-chopped axe-chiseled, every character clear.

Suddenly, a powerful Spiritual Resonance surged forth!

"Who is speaking?"

Qin Shi surveyed the surroundings, apart from Super Xiao He standing by with eyes closed in standby mode, and the orange puppy dozing under the tree, there were no other existences in the Inner Landscape.

Yet by his ear resounded intermittent transmission-of-teachings sounds, mixed with sighs and regret.

"Swift as wind, gentle as forest, invasive as fire, immovable as mountain, unknowable as shadow, moving like thunder... Hong Sheng's Six Forces, could they really be outdated, inferior to New Martial Arts?"

Qin Shi listened carefully to that aged yet vigorous deep voice, thinking in his heart:

"Could it be the Patriarch?"

He mobilized his mind, the mist-like spiritual power surged, stirring up ripples, and he tried harder to catch that voice.

In the illusory vision, a white-haired old man with a tall figure like a male lion appeared.

Qin Shi seemed to be able to empathize, experiencing the emotional changes of the suspected Patriarch Hong Sheng.

There was sorrow, there was loss, and more was regret and unwillingness.

The new Era's Torrent rolled forward, and Hong Sheng's signboard was difficult to establish.

Whatever sect, whatever gang, all must return to the Martial Association.

"May the later generations be able to walk a new road, push out the old and bring in the new, carry forward the Six Forces, and bring glory to the Hong Sheng Sect's door lintel……"

The white-haired old man's back was desolate, standing in the courtyard, practicing boxing moves one by one.

Sometimes like a raging wind passing through, surging and sweeping; sometimes like raging waves of fire, tyrannical and fierce……

Six Heart Momentum Imageries were fused into one furnace, almost reaching a terrifying realm impossible to fathom.

Heaven and Earth were changing color, Xu Kong was collapsing!

"Hoo!"

Qin Shi only watched for a moment, and was already sweating profusely, mentally exhausted.

"The Patriarch accommodated six Heart Momentum Imageries with his body, at least broke four limits, his Qi Life Force was vigorous to the extreme, I don't know what professional level he is."

He moved his hand away from the stone tablet, amazed beyond measure, breaking the Great Limit, Spiritual Residence entering the Inner Landscape, actually having such a miraculous effect.

Resonating spiritually with the predecessors of the technique inheritance, this was equivalent to crossing Spacetime, one-on-one guidance!

No wonder everyone wanted to impact the Divine Gate Great Limit, such benefits, how could it not make people envious?

"Not every lucky one who breaks the Great Limit and has their Spiritual Residence enter the Inner Landscape has this kind of opportunity.

Most just improve comprehension, condense the light of Wisdom, and make it easier to understand Heart Momentum Imageries.

Spiritual Resonance, learning and practicing, is a very rare talent."

Super Xiao He opened his eyes, with a complex expression, said.

Looking left and right, Qin Shi did not look like that kind of peerless genius one in a billion.

But every result obtained left people speechless.

"Did He Lanchan break the Divine Gate Great Limit?"

Qin Shi asked curiously.

"Naturally, he has all seven Meat Body Seven Limits perfected."

Super Xiao He nodded.

"All seven limits broken, spirit without flaw, yet he is only a Half-step Martial God."

Qin Shi shook his head, it seemed that step was really very difficult to take.

He glanced at the Dao Nature Avatar containing He Lanchan's martial arts fortune, not knowing if he could bear the title of "Shi Fo Chuan Ren".

Exiting the Inner Landscape Floor, Qin Shi felt refreshed, passed the Prison Gate, broke the Great Limit, the Second Rebirth Stage arrived.

He clearly felt the surging Qi Life Force washing inside his body, making a sound like a river rushing.

If he closed his eyes and used Inner Vision, every inch of flesh and blood seemed to contain light, shining outward through his body.

Especially the twelve deep black Large Tendons connecting the four limbs and trunk, like walking water flood dragons, adding several points of toughness.

"It is exactly the time for Cultivation."

Qin Shi could not restrain his desire to practice, the Second Rebirth Transformation might enable him to reach forty points of Qi Life Force, the critical value of Amateur Level Sixth Dan.

In his Brain Sea, the Patriarch's technique demonstration kept replaying, sometimes pausing, sometimes slowing down, every move and action was imprinted in his heart, for him to chew slowly and taste carefully, wishing to split and crush, absorb and digest!

"I can also be considered the Patriarch's grand-disciple, by seniority, maybe Lao Liang still has to call me Grand Uncle!"

Qin Shi flashed past the outrageous thought, soon immersed in the advancement of Hundred Aspects Refining Force, in the dormitory room that was not spacious, his fists and feet pulled the air, forming large and small vortices, not only dispersing the opponent's striking force, but also being able to see through the movement trajectory.

"Just now, after I bought cigarettes……"

Lao Liang pushed open the room door, but was stunned.

He stared blankly at Qin Shi whose boxing and kicking moves were round and perfect, like a master's demeanor, his gaze inexplicably became Tranquil.

His own disciple's fighting style, the more he looked, the more it resembled the Master Uncle's generation……

……

……

Returning to the General Manager's Office, Secretary Huo knocked on Chen Ruofu's Office Door.

After receiving permission to enter, he then stepped into the room and made a simple report:

"Minister, Gao Haipeng was beaten to death."

Chen Ruofu was not surprised, tapping his fingers on the Tabletop and smiling:

"I asked Xiao Qin before, whether his master had any Connections, background, or channels. This kid played tricks with me, only saying he was a Physical Education Teacher.

I thought, such a fine piece of Beautiful Jade, letting a Physical Education Teacher teach, isn't that a waste. Good fellow, upon checking, I found out his master's background was extraordinary.

Guardian Medal, First-Class Combat Medal, Warhammer Honor Medal…… establishing such merit in the War Group, and being alive to receive the medal, those are all Ruthless characters."

Secretary Huo lowered his head and said:

"I think Mr. Liang as a person…… is relatively kind, doesn't have much of the War Group soldier's arrogance."

He had contacted military personnel before, although not to the extent of being arrogant and overbearing, but that style of action, experienced in killing fields, saying one thing and meaning it, tyrannical and fierce, really gave people a headache, difficult to get along with.

"Those fighting on the front lines look down on us rear administrative personnel, which is also normal. They shed blood and risk their lives, having a big temper is not considered a flaw.

The elites serving in the War Group only obey the military system, you and I are indeed not worth being taken seriously."

Chen Ruofu said lightly:

"I didn't find out why Liang Zhengxiong was stripped of his medals, I suppose he committed a great crime worthy of a military tribunal, but he was able to be released from Qincheng Prison, there are only two possibilities: either his background is so hard that even the Judgment Court dare not move him, or…… his value of existence far exceeds an entire special operations team that destroyed an alien world."

From now on, when we deal with Xiao Qin, don't put yourselves too high; you must fully respect his opinion.

Furthermore, the Hengzhou Martial Association has already replied; if Xiao Qin's performance matches the description without error, he will be selected for this year's 'Martial Arts New Star' and receive eighty million in initial sponsorship.

Eighty million?

Cultivating a Martial Arts New Star?

This is going to take off!

Secretary Huo's heart tightened; although Qin Shi had displayed extremely outstanding talent and aptitude, because he was young in age and a student, one would often subconsciously look down on him somewhat or not take him seriously enough.

"I've remembered it."

Chen Ruofu gave a few more instructions, regarding the development of the "Political Achievement," waved his hand, and let Secretary Huo leave.

He sat behind that broad office desk, his gaze slightly heavy:

"Gao Haipeng's death was not undeserved, but how did Qin Yixiong also end up dead following him. Could it be that there is still an expert behind Xiao Qin?"
