This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick! Chapter 56 – Chapter 56: 56 chapters Appreciation Walk

Chapter 56: 56 chapters Appreciation Walk

“Using a blade, with cold air emanating from it?”

Huang Weiguang glanced at the Inspector jotting down notes beside him and instructed him to step out first.

Then, he turned to Hao Yi:

“Hao Yi, do you know of any Qi Refining Martial Masters within Xing City capable of this?”

Hao Yi looked at Li Fei beside him and elaborated plainly:

“The Qi Change Stage is a process where the Implant and the human body deeply integrate. After the first deep integration, a martial master in the Early Qi Change Stage cultivates the Innate Qi. As the integration with the Implant deepens, they refine the Innate Qi using Martial Arts True Skill to develop force and reach the Middle Qi Change Stage, becoming a Qi Refining Martial Master. Further integration allows the martial master to enhance control over this force, enabling them to mimic shapes and remotely control the force, thus granting them certain long-range striking capabilities.

Xiao Fei mentioned that this Regular Martial Master named Wang Ping can strike at a distance using his force, which is at least a Late Qi Change Stage capability. The Red Snake he deployed is likely the Red Qilin Power. The opponent's blade was emitting cold air and was able to dissipate the Red Qilin Power, indicating it was force cultivated from a Water Attribute Implant. Looking across Xing City, there are only a few Qi Refining Martial Masters using Water Attribute Implants capable of matching Late Qi Change Stage strength.”

Huang Weiguang nodded:

“With what you've said, I've just recalled someone, the Gang Leader of the Tiger Saber Gang, Yu Hu! His profile states he's in the Middle Qi Change Stage, using a Second Grade medium Water Attribute Implant ‘Cold Fox', and is skilled with a staff.”

Hao Yi said expressionlessly, “Strength can change, and preferred weapons can be switched.”

“But it's also a bit incredible that the Tiger Saber Gang only has Yu Hu as a Qi Refining Martial Master, and if he could hide two more without anyone noticing.”

Huang Weiguang's gaze hardened, “I'll find out.”

Hao Yi looked at him, “I'm afraid you won't have the chance.”

This incident had caused major repercussions; both the Zhi Ge Court and the Inspection Bureau were to be blamed.

The Zhi Ge Court had already lost four Regular Martial Masters, and it was still uncertain if they could be saved. Although both are martial force institutions of Xing City, Zhi Ge Court's status is far superior to that of the Inspection Bureau.

When trouble arose, even though this operation was led by the Zhi Ge Court, most of the reprimands from the higher authorities would still fall on the Inspection Bureau.

Huang Weiguang was already close to retirement, and after this turmoil, even if the lost weapons and equipment were recovered, he would probably have to retire early to take responsibility.

That was why Hao Yi was worried he wouldn't have the opportunity to continue investigating.

Huang Weiguang glanced at Li Fei and smiled:

“We're all old now, the future belongs to these youngsters.”

Hao Yi replied without any expression, “It's you who are old, I have a long life ahead.”

“Hahahaha!”

Loud laughter from Huang Weiguang echoed in the room.

….

“August 5th, in a joint operation by Xing City's Zhi Ge Court and Inspection Bureau, the headquarters of the Cult, Calming Sect, were eradicated, capturing over a hundred cult members and confiscating hundreds of various firearms and weapons.

To respond to the Cabinet's latest ‘Martial Arts Hall Teaching Reform Plan', students from the Xing City Martial Arts Hall also participated in this operation, one of whom performed exceptionally well and provided crucial clues.

Xing City's Chief Gu Zhenhui made a pertinent statement about this operation, noting: ‘Xing City will not tolerate any cults or criminals….'”

In the living room, Li Lei, Zhang Yuqing, Li Fei, and Li Tianyu were all gathered, listening to the radio.

Today was Li Fei's second day back from Luoshan.

Hearing this, Li Tianyu couldn't help but complain:

“What the heck; it was all thanks to Xiao Fei's relentless tracking that so many cult members were captured. He should have been credited as the operation's major contributor, but the report only mentioned him briefly and didn't even name him.”

Li Lei looked at her, smiling:

“Not naming him was to protect Xiao Fei, and he won't lose any credit for his contributions. Right after returning to the Inspection Bureau, Inspector General Huang approved a 10,000 yuan reward, which Xiao Fei will receive in a few days. Additionally, I just received news today that Chief Gu Zhenhui might meet Xiao Fei in the next few days to personally commend him.”

At this point, a proud expression was unstoppable on his face.

He had been a platoon leader for many years and had never been personally received by the Chief.

“Wow, impressive!”

Li Tianyu gave Li Fei a thumbs up.

Li Fei smiled and recalled the conversation between Huang Weiguang and Hao Yi on that day, then asked Li Lei,

“Uncle Li, is Inspector General Huang about to retire?”

Li Lei sighed upon hearing this,

“Yes, although most of the lost weapons and equipment were eventually recovered, there were significant lapses in this operation, including casualties. Inspector General Huang will definitely have to take responsibility. Ultimately, considering he was about to retire anyway, no overt punishment was handed down, but Inspector General Huang will leave one to two years earlier than expected, and he is already preparing for the handover.”

Li Fei asked, “Then who will be the new Inspector General?”

Li Lei shook his head, “That, I'm not sure.”

Li Tianyu looked at Li Fei curiously, “Why are you suddenly interested in these matters? Planning to go to the Inspection Bureau someday?”

Li Fei smiled, “Just curious.”

He just remembered that Huang Weiguang had speculated that the Refining Strength Martial Master who blocked Wang Ping might have been the Gang Leader of the Tiger Saber Gang, Yu Hu, but he never had the chance to investigate.

Two days earlier, Cao Mu and others from the Righteous Court, continuing their pursuit of the Sect Hierarch of the Calming Sect, Zhao Yu, ultimately failed to catch him.

As a Divine Transformation Stage Mage, Zhao Yu inherently possessed the ability to prevent tracking. With him leading a small group away in advance, the traces they left were minimal; finding them was largely a matter of luck.

Cao Mu wanted to stay in the woods for ten days to half a month to continue the search, but the mages from the Righteous Court were not willing to spend that much more time in the forest.

The Righteous Court had court duties to attend to; if they failed, neither Zhi Ge Court nor the Xing City Governance Hall could bear that responsibility.

Without the help of the Righteous Court's mages, Cao Mu's chance of finding anyone was like looking for a needle in a haystack; eventually, all he could do was begrudgingly lead the mages and personnel from the Inspection Bureau back to Xing City with the captured Calming Sect believers.

After some interrogations, the captured believers, including a senior believer, had no idea where Sect Hierarch Zhao Yu found those three Refining Strength Martial Artists or what their identities were.

As for the suspect Yu Hu, he had been seen openly drinking and hosting a banquet for the higher-ups of the Tiger Saber Gang in a restaurant on the day of the incident, witnessed by many.

With no definitive evidence, it was difficult for Huang Weiguang just to get Yu Hu to come in for questioning at the Inspection Bureau; he could expect a call from the Governance Hall or even possibly from the Deputy Chief right after attempting to invite him!

Thus, the case had to be temporarily shelved, and Huang Weiguang, wanting to continue the investigation, was about to retire.

…

The next morning, Li Fei, as usual, went running to the Martial Arts Hall and started heating water in the Medicine Bath Room to prepare for a medicinal bath.

Today, Hao Yi entered the Medicine Bath Room ahead of time, holding a few items in his hand.

He first handed a very thick envelope to Li Fei:

“This is a bonus awarded to you by the Martial Arts Hall, totaling 1,000 yuan.”

Li Fei accepted the envelope with some surprise; he had not expected the Martial Arts Hall to give him additional rewards.

Then, Hao Yi handed him two bottles of Elixirs:

“One bottle is Bitter Elemental Pill, and the other is Through-Bright Elixir. Your performance definitely deserved a top-ranking evaluation, and this is the reward you deserve for the monthly assessment. Normally, a bottle of Elixir contains only ten pills, but because of your outstanding performance, each of these two bottles contains thirty pills, which is three times the usual reward for first place!”

…

Please vote for a monthly ticket.
