Chapter 208: Solving the Problem, Shooting

"Does Professor Wen have any suitable recommendations?"

Li Fei asked.

Wen Ke nodded: "The Martial University has a Drawing Silk Method called the 'Integral Extraction Method,' which can be used in conjunction with the 'Observing Oneself Method.' I think it is very suitable for you."

"Good, then I will go exchange for the Integral Extraction Method."

Li Fei said decisively.

Regarding Wen Ke, he trusted her relatively well; from the start of school until now, this female professor had indeed helped him a lot.

"No need."

Wen Ke waved her hand with a smile, "I will open a new course today specifically to teach the Return to One Method. In the class, I will teach the Integral Extraction Method; you can just come to class."

Hearing this, Li Fei's eyes lit up, and he stood up to bow to Wen Ke: "Thank you, Professor Wen."

If he could learn this Return to One Method by attending class, he would not only save a sum of credits but also earn a sum of credits through class assessment.

Because Li Fei had exchanged for "Jin Gang Seal" and "Red Sound Fire Jin Gang Law," he currently still owed the Martial University several hundred credits, so Wen Ke's approach relieved a lot of his burden.

Wen Ke smiled gently: "You are welcome. You can come to class tomorrow."

"Okay."

Li Fei nodded, then took his leave of Wen Ke.

Next, he went to the laboratory where Mo Mo Yizhou was.

"Teacher Mo."

Li Fei called out to Mo Mo Yizhou, who was burying his head in researching medicinal herbs.

Mo Mo Yizhou, hearing Li Fei's voice, said without raising his head:

"You're here. There is a list on the table; use the Poison Formula to arrange and combine these materials on the list and see how many different medicinal properties can be gathered in theory."

Back then, the content of the class assessment Mo Mo Yizhou set for Li Fei was to formulate a time-delayed poison.

Li Fei had already successfully completed it, but he had never mentioned passing the assessment, and Mo Mo Yizhou hadn't mentioned it either.

Since researching the "Poison Formula," the content of their classes had all been related to this.

Mo Mo Yizhou used his rich experience and deep attainments in pharmacology to constantly perfect the concept of the "Poison Formula" Li Fei proposed, making it closer and closer to a complete discipline.

In Mo Mo Yizhou's words, this was a discipline sufficient to change the entire pharmacology, belonging to an earth-shattering discipline!

From the day Li Fei proposed the concept, Mo Mo Yizhou had devoted all his energy to it, as if he were burning himself.

He had found a goal he was willing to struggle for for the rest of his life!

Although Li Fei was the proposer and pioneer of the "Poison Formula," in reality, he had always been learning behind Mo Mo Yizhou.

And because he had too many things to handle recently and was too distracted, his progress had long been left far behind by Mo Mo Yizhou.

"Teacher Mo."

Li Fei did not look at the list on the table for the first time but called out again.

"What is it?"

Mo Mo Yizhou looked up at him this time, his eyes bloodshot, not knowing how many days he hadn't slept.

"Teacher Mo, I heard that some time ago, the General Inspection Court invited you to test a poison used on a corpse."

Li Fei said.

He came to find Mo Mo Yizhou suddenly today, actually not to attend class, but to obtain clues from the other party.

Mo Mo Yizhou was stunned, frowning: "Why do you ask about this?"

Li Fei bowed to Mo Mo Yizhou: "The person who died had a close relationship with the student, so I implore Teacher Mo to tell me the relevant information."

Mo Mo Yizhou looked silently at the person who bowed and saluted him in front of him.

The General Inspection Court must have required him to keep the poison on Zhang Chen Zongyang strictly confidential.

With Mo Mo Yizhou's character, he would indeed follow the rules and keep the secret.

But this was the first time Li Fei had implored him.

The more he researched the Poison Formula, the deeper Mo Mo Yizhou's gratitude toward Li Fei became.

For someone like him who was obsessed with academics, the concept Li Fei proposed was simply too important!

Mo Mo Yizhou felt he hadn't owed anyone in his life, but he felt he owed Li Fei a huge favor, even big enough to repay with his life!

So after a moment of silence, Mo Mo Yizhou found a blank sheet of paper on the table, then picked up a pen and wrote quickly on the paper.

A few minutes later, Mo Mo Yizhou handed the paper, written densely, to Li Fei, saying indifferently:

"This is your homework for today's class."

"Class homework?"

Li Fei was stunned, taking the paper Mo Mo Yizhou handed over.

He discovered that this was indeed a "problem," using the Poison Formula to deduce the medicinal properties that might be produced under specific conditions after mixing several medicinal herbs.

The specific conditions mentioned in the problem referred to the environment inside the human body, so it was very difficult to verify directly through experiments and could only be deduced through theoretical means, which was also the significance of the Poison Formula.

"Good, thank you, Teacher Mo."

Li Fei looked deeply at Mo Mo Yizhou and bowed to the other party again.

He did not ask why the other party wanted to give him a "problem" instead of telling him the relevant information directly.

It was very likely that the General Inspection Court also made Mo Mo Yizhou sign a contract technique, making him unable to leak the secret, so the other party could only use this method to pass information to Li Fei.

Li Fei believed that the answer behind this problem was the information he wanted!

Thus, he did not say much more, burying his head to start "solving the problem."

Regarding the understanding and application of the Poison Formula, Li Fei was currently still very immature, and the Poison Formula itself was currently incomplete, needing verification in many places.

So in the process of "solving the problem," Li Fei would occasionally ask Mo Mo Yizhou.

Mo Mo Yizhou also patiently gave him guidance.

Just like that, both were immersed in academic research.

Over four hours later, Li Fei used the medicinal herbs and equipment in the laboratory to complete an experiment, finally solving the problem Mo Mo Yizhou left for him:

"The medicinal properties that might be triggered will cause the heart pulse and Qi and blood to flow backward, the wood-attribute innate Qi to become restless, thereby triggering changes in the fire-attribute innate Qi..."

Li Fei wrote the answer on the paper.

The "specific conditions" of this problem referred to the body environment of a Dao Foundation Establishment powerhouse, so the answer he wrote also involved multiple innate Qi.

Mo Mo Yizhou nodded with satisfaction after reading this answer: "Not bad."

Then he pulled out a blank sheet of paper again and wrote on it.

A few minutes later, he handed the newly written paper to Li Fei:

"This is your homework for tomorrow."

Li Fei took the paper and glanced at it, discovering it was a new "problem," only the medicinal herbs of the problem had been changed, with two new medicinal herbs added.

Thus, he understood immediately.

Actually, Mo Mo Yizhou was also solving the problem and hadn't solved it yet; what he gave Li Fei was only a part of the problem.

This problem was the poison Zhang Chen Zongyang was poisoned with!

"Good, then the student will come again tomorrow."

Li Fei bowed to Mo Mo Yizhou.

It was impossible for him to spend his entire day on this.

After walking out of the laboratory, Li Fei went to the cafeteria for dinner, then returned to his dormitory to complete the cultivation of 【Phantom Leaf】.

Currently, 【Phantom Leaf】 was still at the mid-stage of the Body-Breaking stage, and it would take some time to reach the late stage of the Body-Breaking stage.

Afterward, Li Fei left the Martial University, intending to go to Zhao Yi's residence first.

As usual, he first entered a bustling downtown area, then walked into a complex maze of alleys.

By repeatedly shuttling through complex terrain, he could determine if he was being followed.

If so, he could use the terrain to shake them off.

"Hmm?"

Just after passing through the downtown area, Li Fei vaguely felt he was being spied on.

Then he walked into the street alley he had pre-selected with a normal expression.

A few minutes later, Li Fei confirmed he was being followed.

"Which faction wants to eliminate me, this threat, in advance?"

Li Fei thought secretly.

The news of his breakthrough tonight had just spread, and he was being followed tonight; this was most likely the reason.

To deal with a peerless genius like him, the best way was to solve him before he grew up.

So after the news of his breakthrough to the late Qi-Transformation stage spread, someone immediately couldn't hold back.

Li Fei deliberately slowed his pace, wanting to lure the person following him out.

Actually, compared to the Green-Faced Ghost, his true self was safer, because no one would use the lineup for dealing with the Green-Faced Ghost King to deal with a Martial University student who was only at the late Qi-Transformation stage, even if this student was a peerless genius.

It was like a knife-wielding criminal appearing in a place; the normal thinking would certainly be to send police to solve it, and if that didn't work, then dispatch special police.

No one would choose to use artillery to bomb it the first time...

The misalignment of identity was the greatest protection for Li Fei's true self.

Actually, up to now, the identity switching between Li Fei and the Green-Faced Ghost certainly had certain flaws, such as the two never appearing at the same time, with one disappearing before the other appeared.

But these flaws didn't count for anything; in this world, except for Shangguan Xiao, no one would connect Li Fei with the Green-Faced Ghost King.

Just like if someone told you that your deskmate secretly went to fight underground black boxing matches after school every day and had already become the king of underground black boxing.

You would only think this person was a lunatic, then advise them to read fewer web novels...

Li Fei was in this state of mind now; the only thing he needed to consider was how much strength his true self should expose to solve this crisis.

But a few minutes later, that feeling of being vaguely spied on suddenly disappeared.

Li Fei was stunned.

"Not planning to make a move tonight, just scouting?"

He wandered in this street alley for over thirty minutes, and after confirming no one was following, he walked into a shadow, performed the One-Leaf Blinding Technique, and then circulated Jin Gang Strength, performing a new seal.

This was a new seal Li Fei had just learned—Jin Gang Seal · Treasure Vase!

The effect of this seal was to collect one's body, heart, and intent, collecting all one's essence, Qi, and spirit into a treasure vase.

This was a move specifically used for hiding.

Li Fei combined the Jin Gang Seal · Treasure Vase with the One-Leaf Blinding Technique; even a Dao Foundation Establishment powerhouse skilled in perception would find it very difficult to discover him, and tracking-type techniques would also be very difficult to take effect on him.

With these two methods, Li Fei wouldn't need to specifically prepare rooster blood in the future.

He moved silently in the shadows, passed through several street alleys, and began to head toward Zhao Yi's residence.

Forty-plus minutes later, Li Fei knocked on the door of Zhao Yi's residence.

Zhao Yi opened the door for him, the two looked at each other, and then Li Fei walked into the room.

"How is the injury?"

Li Fei asked.

In the ambush on the wasteland, Zhao Yi was shot in the forearm and suffered a gunshot wound.

Afterward, Li Fei specifically learned about the situation of that battle and knew that Zhao Yi had played a huge role in it.

He was actually somewhat surprised that Zhao Yi had chosen to stay behind at that time instead of leaving quietly, so he asked with concern as soon as they met today.

"It's already fine."

Zhao Yi answered coldly.

"That's good."

Li Fei didn't ask any more, took the Dream Order from his bosom, and handed it to the other party: "Start."

It was time to "recharge" the Dream Order again.

When Li Fei was "recharging" the Dream Order at Zhao Yi's residence, in a courtyard, seven or eight people were gathered together discussing him:

"Confirmed, the target really left the Martial University alone, with no one following behind."

"The target possesses a certain anti-tracking awareness and is very alert."

"The route map of the target going out tonight has already been drawn."

"..."

A man wearing a gray leather jacket nodded after hearing everyone's report:

"Hard work, start planning."

The man's nickname was "Shell," the leader of an assassination team from the provincial capital.

This team of theirs was invited from the provincial capital with a huge sum of money, and the target was to assassinate Li Fei!

The most powerful assassin organization in the entire Feng Province was naturally the Shadow Pavilion, but the "Shadow King" had publicly announced that he would no longer accept any commissions related to the Green-Faced Ghost, so this business fell to "Shell."

He was a peak Qi-Transformation stage martial artist and also a sharpshooter.

He and the special-grade marksmen under the "Cannon King" all followed the "Gun and Cannon Martial Arts" route, and the extraordinary abilities they mastered and the martial arts they practiced were all to better exert the power of firearms.

The team led by "Shell" was very professional and had even assassinated more than one Dao Foundation Establishment powerhouse!

Hiring them to assassinate a Martial University student who had just broken through to the late Qi-Transformation stage was a bit of overkill.

However, "Shell" did not become careless because of this.

His principle was that as long as it was "business," he must invest 100%.

Even if someone hired them to assassinate a dog, as long as the money was enough, "Shell" would also put all his spirit into killing it.

This assassination of Li Fei was similarly about early intelligence gathering, scouting, analysis, and then formulating an operational plan.

"Didn't they say he was a peerless genius? Is the Martial University so at ease with his safety? Not sending people to protect him in the dark?"

Someone raised a question.

"Shell" said seriously: "The target is already at the late Qi-Transformation stage, and is certainly far stronger than martial artists of the same realm. To protect him, do you want to send a Dao Foundation Establishment powerhouse to follow him in the dark all the time? This certainly isn't realistic.

And in history, there were many peerless geniuses who died halfway. Geniuses who haven't grown up don't count as true geniuses. The Martial University can protect him for a while, but not for a lifetime; this also doesn't fit the Martial University's philosophy of cultivating students."

"True geniuses know how to protect themselves. The target insists on running alone in such places with few people and poor security late at night; dying is also deserved!"

"Shell" concluded finally.

"Boss makes sense!"

The rest agreed one after another.

"Alright, prepare the operational plan. We've killed quite a few Dao Foundation Establishment powerhouses; killing a future Wind and Cloud List powerhouse feels pretty good too."

"Shell" said.

Asking for monthly tickets.
