Chapter 13: Killing Intent!

Boom, boom, boom...

In the dream,

Gray thick fog enveloped the surroundings, at the edge of the thick fog.

Two figures were engaged in an intense exchange.

Chen Jie circled around a 'Soldier Corpse Stiff', constantly attacking from the side and behind.

This 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' was somewhat weaker than the 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff' Chen Jie had encountered before.

But compared to other ordinary 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs', its strength was much greater.

Since Chen Jie had been killed twice by the 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff', every time he entered the dream afterward, he deliberately avoided the other's alert zone.

No way, he couldn't win!

Every time he got close, there was simply no chance for a sneak attack.

That 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff' had extremely high alertness, fast speed, and saber techniques that were astonishing.

And now,

Chen Jie specifically targeted lone 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs'.

"As long as I can find the Xingyi Sect, I will definitely achieve this goal!"

Unexpectedly, this 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' encountered in the dream today was not easy to deal with.

"Government office, soldiers, battlefield, slaughter!"

The dream was everywhere enveloped in gray thick fog; wanting to find the exact location of the Xingyi Sect was not easy.

Exhale!

After Chen Jie absorbed the 'Soldier Corpse Stiff's' memory, he exhaled a breath.

He quickly walked to behind the 'Soldier Corpse Stiff'.

Thud!

Only to see the 'Soldier Corpse Stiff's' body sway as it rushed forward several steps.

The martial arts these 'Corpse Stiffs' cultivated in life, as well as combat experience and so on, would all turn into light points and become things Chen Jie possessed.

Woo woo!

A piercing sound of breaking air came, only to see the 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' launch a savage charge at Chen Jie.

Crack!

A piercing sound rang out, and the fierce Cannon Fist smashed onto the back of the 'Soldier Corpse Stiff's' head.

To continue improving the Limit Heavy Fist Explosive Power, it seemed he needed to go further and cultivate the other four fist techniques of the 'Xingyi Five Elements Fist'!

To disperse the thick fog over there and continue exploring the next thick fog area, he had to take down this guy!

"If I can absorb the memories of all True Disciples of the Xingyi Sect, I will definitely become a First Generation Grandmaster of the 'Xingyi Sect'!"

His speed was very fast, and his strength was very fierce.

Hum!

After the light points condensed together, the same scene appeared again, diving into his body toward Chen Jie's head.

At this moment,

Chen Jie felt that he had comprehended the essence of force generation of the 'Xingyi Cannon Fist' to the limit of the current realm.

What made Chen Jie happiest in the dream was that he could constantly take down 'Corpse Stiffs' and absorb their memories.

More importantly, the martial power essence of the 'Xingyi Fist' martial arts absorbed in the dream, as well as the 'Soldier Corpse Stiff's' combat experience and martial arts, were all inheritances from the past era when martial arts flourished!

For over a week, Chen Jie entered the dream every night and gained many benefits.

Exhale!

Chen Jie took a deep breath, raised his head, and glanced at that 'Squad Leader Corpse Stiff'.

The target was the back of the 'Soldier Corpse Stiff's' head.

But through the memories of the 'Soldier Corpse Stiff' and 'Lu Danian', Chen Jie had a clear direction in his mind.

In life, he had undergone the baptism of fresh blood!

No wonder his combat power was much greater than other 'Soldier Corpse Stiffs'.

One Hit Kill!

Next,

The Imperial Court surrounded and suppressed the Xingyi Sect; a great fire burned down the entire Xingyi Sect, exterminating the whole sect.

He did not need to spend a large amount of time to comprehend it.

Then he fell to the ground, soon turning into light points, like stars in the sky.

The Eldest Senior Brother of the Xingyi Sect rebelled against the sect and defected to the Imperial Court.

A Heavy Punch smashed onto his arm; Chen Jie retreated five or six steps, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

Then a Heavy Punch swept horizontally toward Chen Jie's ribs!

The punch came out like a hammer, with great momentum and heavy force!

Boom!

Chen Jie raised both arms forward, forming a blocking posture.

Chen Jie took a deep breath, secretly thinking in his heart.

The key was,

He seemed to have retained a thread of combat awareness, and his movements were agile.

"Xingyi Sect! Three hundred and sixty-five mouths, the whole sect exterminated!"

This 'Soldier Corpse Stiff's' strength was not weak, his combat experience was rich, and he had been on the battlefield...

Swish—!

Chen Jie planted his foot, steadying his stance.

Xingyi Five Elements Fist: metal, wood, water, fire, earth!

Splitting Fist, Collapsing Fist, Drilling Fist, Cannon Fist, Crossing Fist!

With every fist technique comprehended, he seemed to enter a brand-new Outbreak Period!

"Xingyi Footwork, stance training, fist techniques, combat experience... all of that from 'Lu Danian's' memories is now completely mastered!"

The next moment,

Chen Jie twisted his waist, using the momentum of his charge to unleash a single fist.

Xingyi—Cannon Fist!

Fast, accurate, ruthless!

Sudden movement, like mountains crumbling and earth splitting!

The fist is like a cannon, the cannon is like a fist!

This Cannon Fist was timed perfectly, striking the instant the Soldier Corpse Stiff turned around.

Besides his martial arts growing ever more profound, he gained something even more important.

"For over a week, I haven't run into any True Disciples of Xingyi Sect, but I've taken care of those Soldier Corpse Stiffs—only the Squad Leader Corpse Stiff remains!"

Xingyi Sect!

That's right, it's the location and direction of Xingyi Sect.

Thud thud thud...

But this guy is too alert—how can I kill him?

Chen Jie lowered his head to think for a moment, then raised it, his gaze turning firm, as he crept toward the back of the Squad Leader Corpse Stiff...

Monday, eight-thirty in the morning.

Cultural class, English!

Sihai Martial Arts School is a fairly large martial arts school; the Youth Group students not only have martial arts classes, but also cultural classes.

Of course,

martial arts schools naturally focus on martial arts, with cultural classes merely supplementary.

According to requirements, Sihai Martial Arts School offers Chinese, English, mathematics, politics, physics mechanics, medical nursing... and other subjects.

Cultivating both literary and martial arts!

This has always been a basic requirement for major martial arts schools across the country.

Actually,

English courses, for many Youth Group students, are purely a waste of time.

They can barely understand Chinese, so where would they find the energy to learn English?

But since it's a requirement from above, everyone can only accept it.

"Next, whatIwanttosayisthat...!"

During cultural class, the English teacher kept saying.

The other students listened, half-asleep.

To be honest, this stuff is hypnotic.

However,

To everyone's surprise, Chen Jie was actually listening very seriously.

Ever since he kept absorbing Corpse Stiff memories in his dreams, he found his mental state was off the charts.

Additionally,

his brain's ability to accept new information was much stronger than before.

As long as he heard it once, he understood it and remembered it deeply.

This feeling was hard to describe in words.

Just like those people on the TV show "Strongest Brain," whose brains had their potential stimulated, with memory and flexibility significantly improved.

Before this, Chen Jie had no interest in cultural class at all.

But now, after discovering how easy learning was for him, his interest in cultural class grew greatly.

And,

he found himself especially sensitive to "language" subjects, learning them especially fast and easily.

In the past, when he saw others speak a foreign language fluently, his eyes lit up with envy.

But now,

after studying hard for over a week, he could completely understand the English teacher's spoken words, without any effort at all.

Two hours later, Chinese class...!

Sihai Martial Arts School's cultural classes are scheduled for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings.

Monday afternoon is Practical Combat Training.

After morning cultural class ended, Chen Jie tidied up and went to the cafeteria with the other students.

"Chen Jie, let me tell you, you missed out big time by not going to 'Xingguang' last night!"

"Those girls from the neighboring Wei Xiao are damn pretty!"

"If you went, you'd definitely score easily...!"

On the way to the cafeteria, Zhang Haonan came close to Chen Jie, hehehe said with a smile.

However,

When he drew within half a meter of Chen Jie, his heart suddenly jolted.

For some unknown reason, an inexplicable tension left him at a loss.

"You these two days... haven't rested... been doing... what?"

Zhang Haonan didn't know how to describe his current state of mind.

He and Chen Jie were dead-brothers; after entering the Martial Arts School, they became the best of friends.

But,

These past few days, who knows what's going on.

Every time he got close to Chen Jie's side, his inner heart felt a thread of fear.

That suffocating feeling gave one an extremely strong oppression.

It seemed...

Chen Jie's body was emitting an extremely strong killing intent!

No mistake,

It was killing intent...!

Only those who have killed people can, without anger, be awe-inspiring, emitting this terrifying aura.

But,

How could Chen Jie possibly kill someone?

This... just what on earth is going on?

"Chen Jie! You lately... just what is the situation? How do I feel... your body... seems a bit off!"

Zhang Haonan took a deep breath, speaking in a low voice.

The closer he got to Chen Jie, the stronger the fear in his inner heart became...
