Chapter 29

Li Fei was sent home in an Inspection Bureau vehicle.

He didn't yet know what kind of storm had been stirred up in the Inspection Bureau because of him, and as usual, he returned to his room to train after dinner.

First, he took the Withered Fire Pill, then the medicine for the Embryo Nourishing stage.

This time, after taking the Withered Fire Pill, he felt as if something was burrowing outward beneath his skin, creating a more intense hunger than before.

This was a sensation he hadn't experienced while taking the medicine over the past few days.

"What is going on?"

Li Fei was startled.

He glanced at the Myriad Blood Pearl; the rate at which the Blood Souls were decreasing was faster than before, and the increase in energy was also greater than before.

"I don't know if this is good or bad. I'll ask the teacher tomorrow."

The rate of Blood Soul depletion was still within a controllable range, so Li Fei wasn't panicked and prepared to consult Hao Yi tomorrow.

Next, he took two more Embryo Nourishing Pills and applied more Jin Kui Ointment, which finally quelled the hunger caused by the steel armor implant.

It wasn't until after 10:00 PM that Li Lei returned home. He didn't eat first, but went straight to Li Fei's room:

"Xiao Fei, the investigation results are out."

"Hmm, was it instigated by the Tiger Blade Gang?"

Li Fei asked.

Li Lei shook his head: "The person who led the attack on you is named Liu Wen, the leader of the Bear Strength Gang. The Bear Strength Gang is an outer affiliate of the Tiger Blade Gang. I originally thought this was instigated by the Tiger Blade Gang, but we found a way to force Liu Wen to talk, and he said it was someone from the Chen family who found them, offering 2,000 yuan for one of your legs."

"Someone from the Chen family?"

Li Fei was startled and immediately thought of Chen Lixin.

If there was anyone in the Chen family who wanted to deal with him most, it had to be Chen Lixin.

He had thought the Tiger Blade Gang was behind this, but he hadn't expected it to be this young master Chen.

He had caused the other party to lose face during the graduation exam, and the other party held a grudge and hired people to deal with him; that made sense.

"2,000 yuan—this young master Chen is truly generous."

Li Fei smiled.

Li Lei sighed: "Chen Lixin didn't contact the Bear Strength Gang personally; he isn't that stupid. So if we continue to investigate this, we will at most find some servant of the Chen family who will step forward to take the blame for Chen Lixin. It is unlikely we will be able to do anything to Chen Lixin."

"Hmm, I understand, Li Shu."

Li Fei nodded, expressing his understanding.

In this era, martial artists from the Tiger Blade Gang could kill people and remain at large, let alone a young master from the Chen family.

"But don't worry, I made a huge scene this time. After this, even if the Tiger Blade Gang has any ideas, they won't dare to do anything to you in the future."

Li Lei said to Li Fei.

Although it wasn't discovered that the Tiger Blade Gang was behind it, the attitude shown by the Inspection Bureau this time was very clear: there are some bottom lines that must not be touched!

So it could be considered as having eliminated some future hidden dangers for Li Fei; Li Lei didn't feel he had made a fuss for nothing.

"As for Chen Lixin, I will continue to investigate this case to make the Chen family give an explanation, which will also serve as a warning to the other party. This Chen Lixin will soon go to university and shouldn't have the heart to deal with you anymore."

Li Lei continued.

"Good, thank you, Li Shu."

Li Fei nodded.

"You brat, why are you being so polite with me?"

Li Lei rubbed his head. "Alright, get some rest early."

Then he walked out of the room.

"Come and eat, I just reheated the food."

In the living room, Zhang Yuqing said softly to Li Lei.

"Good."

Li Lei walked to the dining table, sat down, and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

"Did something happen to Xiao Fei?"

Zhang Yuqing asked with concern.

She had seen Li Fei being sent back by an Inspection Bureau vehicle today, and Li Lei had come home very late and went straight to find Li Fei, so she had guessed some of it.

"Hmm, there was a small problem, but it has been solved. You don't need to worry."

Li Lei never talked about dangerous matters in too much detail; in front of his wife, it was always "a small problem that has been solved."

In this regard, Li Fei was very much like him. After returning home today, he hadn't mentioned a word to Zhang Yuqing or Li Tianyu about being attacked, and from start to finish, nothing seemed unusual.

But Zhang Yuqing was still worried: "Even if you don't say it, I can guess. Xiao Fei wants to get that university spot from the Martial Arts Hall, but you said the situation there is very complicated. If he goes in and touches other people's cake, he will definitely be targeted. Was it like that today?"

Li Lei grunted while picking up food.

"Old Li, will it be too dangerous for Xiao Fei? Why don't we stop fighting for that spot? At worst, we can save money for a few years, and after Tianyu graduates from university, we can send Xiao Fei to university then."

Zhang Yuqing grabbed Li Lei's sleeve with her hand.

Li Fei had been raised by her since he was small, and in her heart, he was no different from her own son.

Li Lei put down his bowl and chopsticks, turned to look at his wife, and held her hand:

"Don't worry. I made a huge scene at the bureau today, and the Chief Inspector also made his attitude clear in supporting me. No one will dare to touch Xiao Fei easily in the future. The struggle between Xiao Fei and them should be out in the open from now on, and everyone will rely on their own abilities."

Speaking of this, he remembered Li Fei's feat of taking on a dozen people today and the words Lu Sheng had said to him, and he couldn't help but laugh:

"Also, don't underestimate Xiao Fei. This kid is becoming more and more capable, and he will surely become more and more powerful in the future. It won't be easy for just anyone to deal with him!"

The next morning, Li Fei packed two bags of lime powder on his body, put on his stab-proof vest, and placed an iron bar he had obtained from Liu Wen into his canvas bag before running out the door toward the Martial Arts Hall.

The journey was uneventful, and he arrived safely at the Martial Arts Hall.

However, today he didn't go straight to the practice building to enter the medicine room to boil water, but went to Hao Yi's office first.

"Teacher."

Hao Yi was drinking tea in his office at this time and was startled when he saw Li Fei:

"Is something the matter?"

So Li Fei told him about the strange sensation he had been feeling.

"You feel something burrowing beneath your skin? The hunger caused by the implant has intensified?"

Hao Yi looked at Li Fei with some surprise. "That shouldn't be."

"Teacher, is there a problem with the implant?"

Li Fei asked, feeling a bit nervous due to the other party's attitude.

"Your implant is steel armor. Having this feeling means the embryo you are nourishing is showing signs of movement. This is a precursor to breaking through to the Body Breaking stage."

Hao Yi looked at Li Fei with a strange expression.

"Ah?"

Li Fei himself was also very surprised.

Although he practiced the Heavenly Gang Tyrant Body twice a day and took the Withered Fire Pill, he had been in the Embryo Nourishing stage for less than ten days. Was he already about to break through?

Wasn't it said that even for those with the best aptitude, it took a month to go from Embryo Nourishing to Body Breaking?

"Have you done anything special in the last few days?"

Hao Yi asked.

"Anything special?"

Li Fei thought for a moment. He suddenly recalled that yesterday, while fighting Liu Wen and the others, he seemed to vaguely feel something jumping beneath his skin, but at the time, his attention was focused on the fight, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.

Could it be related to this?

So Li Fei told Hao Yi about being attacked yesterday.

If there was anything special, it was only this incident recently.

"You said you were attacked?!"

After hearing this, Hao Yi's expression sank, and a shocking aura of Sha Qi emanated from his body.
