Chapter 41: Blood Rage

"Is that the kid?"

In a tea shop a few hundred meters from the main gate of the Xingcheng Vocational School, two men with large tattooed arms wearing gray short-sleeved shirts were drinking tea while sizing up Li Fei, who was resting at the tea shop across the way.

"Yeah, that's him."

"A dependent of someone from the Inspectorate; this is a bit tricky."

"Once it's done, all the brothers involved will be arranged to flee, and there's a getaway fee."

"Whoa, so generous this time?"

"The employer is generous."

"Alright then, the requirement is to break one leg?"

"Correct, it must be done within these few days."

"Fine."

"The other party is a student of the Martial Arts Department, and he just won the championship in the graduation exam, so he does have some strength. You lot be careful, don't capsize in the gutter."

"Don't worry, he's not a martial artist; we'll definitely get it done for you!"

After the two finished their conversation, they put down their tea bowls, paid the bill, and left.

Li Fei, in the tea shop across the way, continued to drink his tea with a calm expression, waiting for his two friends to finish their exams.

At 11: 0 AM, people began to walk out of the vocational school gate one after another; the entrance exam had concluded.

The results of the written exam would not be out for a few days, but the results of the martial arts exam were given on the spot.

Li Fei stood up, took out a five-cent coin to leave on the table, and then walked toward the gate.

After waiting for a few minutes, he saw Chen Lixin and Li Tianyu walking out together.

Li Tianyu had a personality that couldn't hide anything; everything was written on her face. So, as soon as Li Fei saw her radiant expression and the spring in her step, he knew she must have passed.

So Li Fei smiled and walked up to them:

"Looks like you passed."

"Of course!"

Li Tianyu said with a big laugh, feeling very excited.

Her dream was to become a female general of the Great Lan Dynasty, and now that she had successfully been admitted to the university's Martial Arts Department, she was one step closer to her dream.

"Congratulations."

Li Fei was also genuinely happy for her.

Then he looked at Chen Lixin: "You surely had no problems, right?"

Chen Lixin said calmly: "The questions this year were quite difficult; I did just average."

"You say you did average every time, but when the results come out, you're near full marks every single time."

Li Tianyu teased with a smile.

Chen Lixin shrugged, noncommittal.

"Let's go, let's have a drink to celebrate!"

Li Tianyu waved her arm and said with a smile.

"Let's go."

"Let's go!"

The three friends chatted and laughed as they went off to celebrate.

On July 23rd, Li Fei conducted his training as usual.

After finishing his afternoon Qi circulation training and impact resistance training, the Ten Thousand Blood Bead finally leveled up:

【Level: 4, 2%

Blood Souls: 22

Blood Soul Skill: Blood Rage】

With this upgrade, the number of Blood Souls increased by 6.

In this way, Li Fei could recover 2. Blood Souls every day; the recovery speed finally exceeded the consumption speed, so he didn't have to worry about his body being unable to handle it.

And what surprised Li Fei even more was that after his number of Blood Souls exceeded 20, the Ten Thousand Blood Bead underwent a new change, unlocking a Blood Soul Skill!

Immersing his consciousness into the Ten Thousand Blood Bead, Li Fei quickly understood the usage of the newly unlocked Blood Soul Skill, 'Blood Rage':

Consume at least one Blood Soul to gain a significant boost in physical strength for one minute. The more Blood Souls consumed at once, the greater the increase in strength!

The increase in Blood Souls allowed Li Fei to withstand more damage, and combined with his main martial art, the Primordial Tyrant Body, his defense could almost be said to be maxed out, but he appeared relatively weak on the offensive end.

Now with this 'Blood Rage', he finally had a decent method for offense.

Moreover, 'Blood Rage' exchanges more strength for a higher number of consumed Blood Souls. As the number of Blood Souls continues to increase in the future, the upper limit of 'Blood Rage' will also keep rising; it is a skill that can grow along with Li Fei.

"Goodbye, Teacher."

Li Fei left the Martial Arts Hall in a good mood and jogged back home.

The route from the Martial Arts Hall to the Inspectorate family compound passed through a small forest; it was very secluded and basically empty.

As Li Fei jogged through this small forest, five or six people suddenly stepped out from the woods ahead, each holding an iron rod, looking at him with mocking eyes.

Li Fei immediately stopped his steps and glanced behind him; sure enough, five or six people were also blocking his retreat, and these people were also holding iron rods.

The leading man was burly and blind in his left eye.

His name was Liu Wen, nicknamed 'Blind Bear', and he was the leader of the Bear Strength Gang in the east of the city.

The Bear Strength Gang was a gang that had risen in the last half-year; on the surface, it seemed to have nothing to do with the Tiger Blade Gang, but in reality, it was an outer gang cultivated by the Tiger Blade Gang specifically to do dirty work that was inconvenient for them to handle.

A gang like this would be wiped out by the Inspectorate before long, and then new gangs would quickly appear.

When Liu Wen received this mission, he knew that the Bear Strength Gang was going to be discarded.

No matter what, after crippling the son of an Inspectorate squadron leader, the Bear Strength Gang could not possibly continue to exist in Xingcheng.

"I haven't even been a gang leader for a year and I have to get lost."

Liu Wen stared at Li Fei in front with a sinister gaze, a wicked fire rising in his heart:

"Beat him for me!"

Consequently, the underlings blocking Li Fei from the front and back rushed up with their iron rods.

After hearing Liu Wen's command, Li Fei decisively threw away his canvas bag and turned to rush toward Liu Wen.

"He even knows to capture the ringleader first."

Liu Wen chuckled.

He was not worried about his own safety.

If it were one-on-one, bare-handed, he might really not be the opponent of this person who won the vocational school Martial Arts Department graduation championship.

But with a dozen underlings experienced in street fighting holding iron rods against one unarmed person, as long as the opponent wasn't a martial artist, Liu Wen didn't think he could turn the tables at all!

"He looks quite righteous, today I'll let you experience the beatings of society."

Liu Wen said with a smile.

As his voice fell, the five underlings with iron rods were already about to reach Li Fei, their iron rods held high, ready to swing down at any moment.

And Li Fei appeared to have no intention of slowing down at all, seemingly wanting to charge forward against the attacks of these underlings!

"Sure enough, just a hot-headed kid, some champion my ass."

The smile on Liu Wen's face grew wider; he had completely set his mind at ease.

But just as the two sides were about to collide, Li Fei suddenly pulled a bag of something from his pants pocket and swung it violently in front of him.

A paper bag filled with lime powder was crushed by him, and the white powder scattered toward the five people in front of him!

Looking at the lime scattering in the air, the smile on Liu Wen's face stiffened; for a moment, he didn't react.

What kind of decent person carries a bag of lime powder around with them?

Is this person really the son of an Inspectorate squadron leader? Isn't he a top-tier hitman from some gang?

The underlings Liu Wen brought had rich experience in street fighting and were very familiar with the tactic of throwing lime, so they all reacted immediately, blocking their faces with their hands, bowing their heads, and closing their eyes.

Taking this opportunity, Li Fei turned sideways and used the Mountain-Crushing Step to forcibly crash through these people.

Liu Wen stared blankly as the righteous-looking Li Fei used lime to clear the way, crashed through several underlings, and pounced toward him with the momentum of a fierce tiger!
