Chapter 291: Continuing the Martial Arts Training

High above in a tall building, Qi Yuan gazed at the sky, deep in thought.

If he were truly an ordinary Rebooter, perhaps...after tasting the sweetness of killing Wang Wei, he might...go after the other Rebooters.

"This insignificant bit of fortune is less useful than a mental health certificate. I must be seriously ill to go after other Rebooters."

As for the other Rebooters, most of them were ordinary people in their past lives and didn't possess Qi Yuan's exceptional insight.

The fact that killing other Rebooters could grant him their fortune was something those Rebooters were unaware of.

Qi Yuan looked at Wang Wei's corpse, his expression filled with disappointment. "What a waste. Not even a single point of experience. I thought you were so amazing?"

Qi Yuan murmured as he approached the body of the black-clad sniper and picked up the communicator.

...

Two hours later, Qi Yuan surveyed the spacious room filled with various medicinal ingredients and sea monsters, feeling a peculiar sense of satisfaction.

Beside him, Kan Huan seemed to be still in shock from the events of the day, which had far exceeded his expectations.

During these two hours, various messages had been relayed to him.

He now knew who the assailant on the road had been—none other than Marquis Zhao Renji of the Black Crystal.

Zhao Renji was from an old noble family, and his father had made a significant military contribution during the Qin-Cui War thirty years ago.

Nowadays, the Zhao family was headed by Zhao Renji.

In Tianyue City, the Zhao family was undoubtedly the dominant force.

Even Kan Huan, a hereditary viscount, had to yield to the Black Crystal Marquis in Tianyue City.

"Mr. Qi...should we leave Tianyue first?" Kan Huan suggested tentatively.

This was the territory of the Black Crystal Marquis, and if he was determined to keep Qi Yuan here, there was nothing Kan Huan could do to rescue him.

The small mercenary team he had was no match for the Black Crystal Marquis.

Once they brought Qi Yuan back to New Yang, Kan Huan was confident he could ensure his safety.

"Why should I leave?" Qi Yuan shook his head. "When I killed, no one saw me, and I was very careful. Without witnesses or evidence, how could the police find me?"

Kan Huan paused for a moment before replying, "They don't need evidence to arrest someone."

Evidence was only necessary between parties of equal status.

Just as a minor noble didn't require evidence when dealing with a commoner, a major noble didn't need evidence when dealing with a minor noble.

"No evidence? Surely, they need something?"

Qi Yuan took out the Omnipotent Amulet.

With this item, he felt extremely confident.

Kan Huan fell silent again.

Facing Qi Yuan, he felt a sense of profound mystery.

"The Black Crystal Marquis can not only mobilize a genetic soldier squad but also use hot weapons," Kan Huan added.

There was no need to elaborate on the genetic soldier squad; with Qin Yuan's national strength, a well-organized genetic squad could even push back the army of a weaker country's battalion.

As for hot weapons, they were beyond human resistance.

Under hot weapons, all were equal.

Even a cultivator would be no exception.

Some weapons on the Arch Star, inspired by Canzan Xing, were said by experts to be capable of slaying gods.

"These weapons are indeed troublesome," Qi Yuan admitted.

Even today's sniper rifle, given the current state of his body, would undoubtedly be fatal if he were hit.

Not to mention the hot weapons.

He would find them very challenging to deal with in his current state.

"So, Mr. Qi, are you willing to leave with me?" Kan Huan's eyes lit up.

If Qi Yuan agreed, it would strengthen their relationship.

"Hot weapons are troublesome, but people...are simple.

My enemies are not weapons but merely people."

Qi Yuan's eyes sparkled with amusement.

The technology on the Arch Star was not yet advanced enough, and there were still insufficient measures to protect cultivators.

"Huh?" Kan Huan was taken aback.

"You're lucky today. If you go to the Zhao family's banquet tonight, you'll get a good meal," Qi Yuan shrugged.

The hot weapons controlled by the Zhao family could indeed pose a problem for Qi Yuan in his current state.

But the Zhao family...they were just ordinary people.

Even with genetic soldier guards, what could they do?

Qi Yuan had played so many games, even killing two Yang Deities.

His methods were so cunning that even a Yang Deity might not be able to guard against them, let alone an ordinary mortal.

When Qi Yuan obtained the communicator, he made a call to the person in charge on the other end.

The one who answered was Zhao Renji.

On the call, Qi Yuan demanded that Zhao Renji commit suicide as an apology and make amends.

Naturally, Zhao Renji refused and showed no remorse.

Since that was the case, Qi Yuan didn't hold back.

In mythical legends, hearing the voice of a demon could lead to being bewitched and falling into the abyss.

Qi Yuan's true body was stronger than a demon.

His methods were even more powerful than those of demons in mythical legends.

With the communicator as a medium, Qi Yuan's voice could easily contain illusionary spells or other means, effortlessly ensnaring Zhao Renji.

Zhao Renji was completely unprepared, and Qi Yuan's words didn't seem to have any effect on him.

After all, he probably couldn't imagine that someone could kill through a phone call.

At the same time, within the Zhao family's estate.

Zhao Renji's expression was excited, and his eyes held a hint of murderous intent as he looked at Zhao Shiqi and said slowly, "He's just a peasant. I can kill him if I want to."

"He's not a peasant; he's a martyr's orphan!" Zhao Shiqi's voice was filled with displeasure.

Zhao Shiqi had always been a soldier, treating his subordinates with the utmost care and affection, as if they were his own children. When it came to Zhao Renji's words, he didn't even need to think before heeding them, he immediately refuted them.

"Hmph, they're just a bunch of commoners. If I wanted to praise them, they'd be honored. But if I don't, they're nothing but potential rioters and unstable elements." Zhao Renji glared at Zhao Shiqi, his voice turning cold, "This time... you intervened?"

As for Qi Yuan, Zhao Renji didn't give him much thought. He was just an ordinary person. What concerned him the most was whether Zhao Shiqi had something to do with Qi Yuan's sudden rise. He had always been wary of his younger brother.

"I..." Zhao Shiqi looked at Zhao Renji, feeling frustrated. He could tell what his older brother was thinking, and his disappointment grew.

Even at this moment, his brother was still thinking about power struggles.

"I wish I had been there!" Zhao Shiqi stared directly into his brother's eyes, "This time, since he's alive, brother... I don't want to see you harm him again!"

A mocking expression appeared in Zhao Renji's eyes, "I don't want to harm him, but he won't leave me alone. Just now, he called and threatened me, demanding that I commit suicide as an apology!"

"Haha... This is the first time I've met such a bold young man. If you want this matter resolved, it's simple. You... bring him here in person and apologize to me. If he's sincere, I might spare his life!"

Zhao Shiqi's heart sank, his disappointment and anger intensifying. He lowered his head, remaining silent.

Zhao Renji's cold voice echoed in his ears, "The nobility can never be wrong. Even if we are, we must never admit it, and sometimes, we must persist in our mistakes. Once we show weakness, those peasants will think they can take advantage of us. They'll keep pushing, and in the long run, who will fear us?"

For Zhao Renji, the nobility's reputation and authority were paramount. Compared to that, a single life was insignificant.

Although the plan to assassinate Qi Yuan had many strange aspects, Zhao Renji didn't care. In Tianyue City, he was the one who called the shots.

Zhao Shiqi looked at his brother, silent. His brother's words were something their father had said many times.

"Bring Qi Yuan's head, and this matter will be dropped. Otherwise... the martyr's children in Tianyue City..." Zhao Renji spoke bluntly.

His long-standing superiority and control over the lower classes had made him fearless and arrogant.

"Tsk, tsk, are you still alive?"

Suddenly, a faint voice reached Zhao Renji's ears.

"Who is it?"

He shouted, his pupils dilating with anger.

Zhao Shiqi was taken aback, unsure what was happening to his brother.

The people outside the room exchanged glances, equally puzzled by Zhao Renji's behavior.

"Marquis, what's wrong?"

Someone asked.

But before the question was finished, the asker's face paled.

Zhao Renji suddenly drew a gun from his pocket, his eyes wide with terror. His hand seemed uncontrollable, and tears of blood flowed from his eyes.

The scene shocked everyone in the room.

Zhao Shiqi was stunned, clueless about what was happening.

In the 1619 book, there was no mistake!

"I... suicide... not... save... apologize!"

Zhao Renji seemed to be acting against his will. Before anyone in the room could react, he shot himself in the head.

"Marquis!"

"Call a doctor quickly!"

Chaos erupted in the room.

Zhao Shiqi was dumbfounded, the scene before him too bizarre to comprehend.

His brother... had suddenly drawn a gun and committed suicide, his body seemingly beyond his own control.

A chilling sensation arose within him.

Suddenly, he realized something, and a chilling thought formed in his mind.

One day later.

In the room.

Qi Yuan practiced the Bright Martial Resonance Fist once more.

Sweat soaked his clothes, but he felt invigorated, white mist rising from his body.

"The mutated sea monster's blood has indeed enhanced me greatly."

After consuming the mutated sea monster's blood, Qi Yuan's cultivation of the Bright Martial Resonance Fist became more efficient, and his improvements were more significant.

The blood of the mutated sea monster seemed to have the effect of enhancing martial arts talent and potential.

"It's a pity that the other ordinary sea monsters don't have these effects."

Qi Yuan also processed the remaining sea monsters, extracting their "Essence Blood".

Unfortunately, after consuming it, Qi Yuan found little improvement.

"This is probably because our bloodlines are not of the same origin.

The blood of these ordinary sea monsters might benefit other martial artists."

Although Qi Yuan hadn't practiced martial arts for long, he had a hunch that the martial arts in this world followed the path of bloodline cultivation.

Of course, this was just his current observation and not the whole picture.

"But I have the Devouring Original Body, and consuming more blood... is a good thing. Who knows, I might even create my own bloodline."

Qi Yuan thought to himself.

In the Mortal World, the Sage of Devouring had ultimately transferred the Devouring Original Body to Qi Yuan.

By devouring these bloodlines, he could make them his own.

"It's time to go to the martial arts studio and exchange for the advanced techniques."

After devouring the mutated sea monster's blood, his progress in the Bright Martial Resonance Fist accelerated rapidly. In just one day, Qi Yuan broke through the third layer.

To obtain the subsequent cultivation techniques, one must visit the martial arts studio. The studio has a relaxed atmosphere and doesn't require checking one's cultivation realm; as long as you pay, you can obtain the subsequent techniques. Many, like Qi Yuan, who had only joined the studio for a few days, were able to purchase the subsequent cultivation techniques.

There were many wealthy individuals in this world. As long as they didn't start businesses or gamble, their money would never run out.

Soon, Qi Yuan changed clothes and headed out. The sun above was scorching, and the taxi sped along.

"What's the big event happening? There are several times more drones in the sky than before," the taxi driver remarked, unable to hold back his criticism as he gazed at the sky.

"It's good to have more drones. The security in Tianyue City is terrible; yesterday, someone even shot and killed another person on the street!"

"What? Where did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?" The taxi driver became interested.

"It was on Lanxi Avenue."

"Probably those damn aristocrats again. Only they would dare to commit murder in broad daylight!" The taxi driver grumbled, expressing his dissatisfaction with the state of affairs.

Soon, the taxi stopped in front of the Bright Martial Studio. As Qi Yuan alighted, a robot with a mechanical voice approached, emitting an electronic sound.

"Kongsai Intelligent Ride, autonomous driving, safer with electronics. Welcome to use our service."

As the robot spoke, it handed Qi Yuan a flyer.

Before Qi Yuan could take it, the taxi driver, who had come down to buy water, kicked the robot hard.

"Damn, are you trying to take my job, you robot?"

The taxi driver cursed and left after kicking the robot.

Kongsai Intelligent Ride was a newly established ride-hailing company in Qin Yuan Country. These ride-hailing cars not only had autonomous driving systems but also employed robots as drivers, which many drivers opposed.

Of course... their opposition was futile.

Qi Yuan didn't feel strongly about this.

He entered the Bright Martial Studio, found his second senior brother, explained his purpose, and spent a large sum of money to exchange for the subsequent nine layers of the Bright Martial Resonance Fist cultivation technique.

"I didn't realize you had such strength. I'll give you all twelve layers of the Bright Martial Resonance Fist," the second senior brother said, unable to resist picking his left nostril as his attitude towards Qi Yuan became more enthusiastic.

After all, previously, Qi Yuan had only dabbled in martial arts.

Now, having spent so much money, he was considered an insider.

In ancient times, he would have been a direct disciple.

"The Martial Arts Tournament qualifiers are about to start. When we register, can you add my name to our studio's list?" Qi Yuan stated his intention.

Registration for the Martial Arts Tournament was done under the name of the studio and its martial arts style.

With the tournament about to begin, Qi Yuan aimed to win and become the Human Dao Martial Master.

"There are only three months left. With your current skill, you'll likely be eliminated in the first round, and even making it to the city's top 100 would be a stretch," the second senior brother blinked, gazing at Qi Yuan's handsome face, and continued, "Hmm... are you going for the experience? That's fine too. We'll add your name to the registration list this time. Remember to fill out the application form later."

The second senior brother was naturally unaware of Qi Yuan's ambition to win the tournament.

Qi Yuan, of course, didn't bother explaining.

"Thanks, second senior brother. I'm off to train."

After leaving the second senior brother, Qi Yuan returned to the training room.

Wang Shiqiao, with her hair in a high ponytail, saw Qi Yuan and immediately stood up to greet him. "I've slightly adjusted my nose again. Can you tell it's not original?"

The last time, Qi Yuan had pointed out that her nose wasn't original, causing her to storm off to the beauty clinic in anger.

The doctor had offered free adjustments, and she felt better than before, so when she met Qi Yuan, she asked this question.

"Hmm... don't ask me about that. I have good eyesight," Qi Yuan replied casually.

Wang Shiqiao was momentarily speechless. "Damn, I don't want this nose anymore!"

The other students around them heard Wang Shiqiao's voice and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Qi Yuan paid them no further attention and began to fully immerse himself in practicing the Bright Martial Resonance Fist.

An hour passed as he practiced.

During this time, the second senior brother arrived with a registration form for the Martial Arts Tournament for Qi Yuan to fill out.

Under the astonished gazes of Wang Shiqiao and the others, Qi Yuan completed the form.

"You've got some guts, participating in the Martial Arts Tournament in your first year. Aren't you afraid of getting your bones broken?" Wang Shiqiao stretched her waist, her tight training clothes hugging her body, showcasing her curves on display. The valley between her breasts was particularly prominent.

Qi Yuan frowned. "Don't wave your armpits at me; the smell is terrible."

"I shaved all the hair here; what's so smelly?"

"You... you're so handsome, yet you don't have a girlfriend!" Wang Shiqiao couldn't help but tease him.

Who talks like that?

Qi Yuan didn't respond, choosing to express himself through actions instead. He changed positions and continued his training.

Wang Shiqiao stomped her feet in anger. "You just stick with your Fifth Sister for life!" (End of Chapter)
