Chapter 272: Chapter 269: Spear Immortal Han Luojiang, He Really Exists
"Senior Xu Tai, thank you for the match."
Over an hour later.
The victor had been decided.
Lin Yi said with a light smile, cupping his fist.
Far from being discouraged, Xu Tai was actually filled with excitement.
"Not at all! To think your spear technique has improved so much in just one day, Junior Lin Yi!"
Lin Yi smiled. If his spear technique had only reached Minor Success yesterday...
...then today, it had already reached the level of mastery, perhaps even grand success.
He was just one step away from perfection.
However, Xu Tai’s talent for spear arts was also beyond Lin Yi’s expectations.
Just now, he had merely skimmed through the "Breaking Army Soul-Chasing Spear Technique" once and was able to extract its essence.
He had even integrated it with his own "Breaking Army Spear Technique."
This sparring session had taken over an hour to decide a winner.
It was clear that Xu Tai’s spear technique had improved significantly in this short time.
He had even applied it in a practical fight...
Even Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel envious of such talent for spear arts.
"Don’t worry, Junior Lin Yi. A loss is a loss, I accept it. I’ll have the five boxes of Second-Grade Compound Potion delivered to your dorm tomorrow..."
"No need to go to all that trouble, Senior Xu Tai. I can come pick them up myself tomorrow!" Lin Yi said with a light smile.
Hearing this, Xu Tai’s eyes lit up, a sharp glint flashing within them.
"Then the spear technique manual..."
"I’ll prepare a handwritten copy for you, senior. How does that sound?"
"Really? That’s wonderful!"
Xu Tai’s face was filled with pleasant surprise. For him...
...whether the spear technique manual was the original or a handwritten copy, it was all the same.
It was still the "Breaking Army Soul-Chasing Spear Technique." Couldn’t he practice from any version?
Seeing him nod in agreement, Lin Yi exchanged a few more pleasantries before taking his leave with Wei Shang and Feng Lei.
As they walked out of the Gun Skill Association...
Even Wei Shang couldn’t help but comment, "It seems that Xu Tai’s talent for spear arts is incredibly high!"
"To be able to fully comprehend and merge a technique with his own Breaking Army Spear Technique after just one look? In terms of spear mastery, he’s a true genius!"
Feng Lei nodded, stroking his chin. "The Xu Family has always been renowned for their spear techniques. Since their ancestors’ time, they have made their name in the world through their spearmanship!"
"Besides the so-called Spear Immortal, Han Luojiang, is there anyone whose spear technique is stronger than the Xu Family’s?"
"Spear Immortal?"
When Lin Yi heard this name...
...he quickly turned to look at Feng Lei.
"That’s right, Spear Immortal Han Luojiang. What, you’ve heard of him too?" Feng Lei asked in surprise.
Lin Yi nodded and took out the Black Gold Tiger Head Spear he had just put away.
"Back at the Martial Arts Assembly, the old man who sold me this spear said it was once used by Spear Immortal Han Luojiang."
"That’s when I first heard of the Spear Immortal!"
"I originally thought he was just lying, but there’s really a Spear Immortal?" Lin Yi said with a laugh.
At his words, Feng Lei nodded. "Spear Immortal Han Luojiang was from the same era as the Martial God. Back then, a few of them fought together against those foreign creatures—the ones we call monstrous beasts!"
"The title of Spear Immortal slowly began to spread from that time on!"
"He’s called the Spear Immortal mainly because his spear technique was godlike, beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
"But later, after the Martial God left to roam beyond the heavens, the Spear Immortal also gradually faded from public view. Now, there’s no trace of him."
"No one knows if he’s alive or dead!"
"But I can tell you one thing: the spear the Spear Immortal used was the Tiger Head Golden Spear, definitely not some Black Gold Tiger Head Spear. You were definitely scammed!" Feng Lei said with a laugh.
Lin Yi nodded. "It’s definitely not the same spear. I didn’t buy it for the Spear Immortal’s fame, I just purely liked this Black Gold Tiger Head Spear!"
"Maybe in the future, I can also make a name for myself as a Spear Immortal or something similar. Why would I need to borrow someone else’s fame?"
As he finished speaking, Wei Shang glanced at him.
"What’s so great about being a Spear Immortal? If you’re going to be someone, be the Martial God. Wouldn’t it be great to rule over the entire New District?"
"Martial God..."
Lin Yi shook his head with a smile. "That’s too far-fetched. My goals aren’t that lofty yet!"
"It’s not too late to set a new goal. How about the White Tiger Martial God? If you become a Martial God in the future, I’ll be the Martial God’s friend!"
"No matter where I go, I could puff out my chest and tell people, ’The Martial God is my brother!’ HAHAHA... Just thinking about it is awesome!"
Wei Shang said, fantasizing about the future.
And the day he spoke of would sooner or later arrive.
But right now, in Lin Yi’s eyes, he was just daydreaming.
Shaking his head with a smile, Lin Yi ignored Wei Shang and headed straight for the Cultivation Field.
At this time, Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and the others were still struggling in the Cultivation Field, drenched in sweat.
They were unwilling to waste even a single second.
They only wanted to raise their Cultivation Realm so they wouldn’t drag Lin Yi down when they go to Jail City in the future.
So, if one wanted to find them now...
...one just had to go straight to the Cultivation Field. Lin Yi also planned to give Zhou Qi the "Breaking Army Soul-Chasing Spear Technique" manual, have him make a handwritten copy first, and give it to Xu Tai tomorrow.
The original would stay with Zhou Qi.
But just as Lin Yi was about to enter Dormitory Zone 1...
...three familiar figures came into view.
It was Chu Zhengxiong, Mo Yanfeng, and Qin Zhaoxue.
"Brother Chu, Brother Mo... Where are you guys heading?"
Lin Yi shouted to them from a distance.
When Chu Zhengxiong turned and saw Lin Yi, he stopped.
He turned back to Mo Yanfeng and said, "You two go on ahead and make the arrest!"
"Alright!"
Mo Yanfeng and Qin Zhaoxue nodded.
"Brother Chu, where did they go?"
As Lin Yi drew closer, he asked, a little puzzled.
Mo Yanfeng and Qin Zhaoxue hadn’t even had time to greet him.
"To arrest someone!"
"Arrest someone? From our school?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
Chu Zhengxiong nodded. "Yes. A case came up, and it’s related to two students from your school."
"What’s going on with you? I heard about what happened at Jail City yesterday!"
The subject suddenly changed, and Lin Yi was momentarily stunned.
In his heart, Chu Zhengxiong was like a true older brother to him.
Lin Yi smiled. "Where did you hear that from?"
"Do you even need to ask? The Demon Hunting Bureau and the Town Martial Department are basically one big family!"
"The Town Martial Department came to arrest someone this morning and caused a huge commotion. It would be hard for us not to know!"
"I asked around afterward, and sure enough, it had something to do with you, kid!"
"Did you offend someone? Or..."
Chu Zhengxiong said, his expression grim.
Lin Yi quickly shook his head. "You know my personality, don’t you? It’s just some of the local students’ dissatisfaction with us students from the Old District!"
"Hmph, local students? Local my ass! Didn’t they all just run over from the Old District? Do they really think of themselves as some high and mighty nobles?"
"Once I’m done with the case on my hands, I’ll knock some sense into them!"
"I gave them an inch, and they took a mile! How dare they touch my little brother!"
"I’ll definitely teach them a proper lesson!"
After Chu Zhengxiong finished speaking...
Lin Yi smiled. "Brother Chu, you should go handle your business. I won’t keep you!"
"Alright. Once this busy period is over, I’ll take you out for a good meal, a real feast!"
Lin Yi: "...Brother Chu, you’re making empty promises again!"
"Hm? HAHAHA..."
Chu Zhengxiong let out a hearty laugh, said goodbye to Lin Yi, and hurried toward the school grounds.
Watching his retreating figure, Wei Shang came closer.
"That man just now, was he a captain of a Demon Hunting Team from the Demon Hunting Bureau?"
Lin Yi nodded. "You don’t know him?"
"The New District is so huge, how could we possibly know everyone? The Demon Hunting Bureau has so many Demon Hunting Teams under its jurisdiction, spread across different provinces and cities. Each city has a branch office, and each branch has at least five Demon Hunting Teams under it!"
"It’s just like our Town Martial Department. Each province has its own branch department. Even if we belong to the same Town Martial Department, it’s normal not to know or have met everyone..."
Hearing his explanation, Lin Yi nodded.
The New District was much, much larger than the Old District.
Strictly speaking, the Old District was like a single province.
A forgotten and abandoned province, at that.
This province was composed of eighteen cities.
Even so, not all the Martial Arts Police Stations in the various cities knew each other.
So, it was indeed normal for people from the same department not to know each other.
"Let’s go, to the Cultivation Field!"
The three of them headed straight for the Cultivation Field.
...
「Girls’ Dormitory, Zone 5」
By the time Chu Zhengxiong, Mo Yanfeng, and Qin Zhaoxue arrived...
...the school’s Xingwu Guard had already secured the area.
"Captain Chu, you’re here!"
A man with graying hair walked over.
Chu Zhengxiong glanced at him and a smile appeared on his face.
This person looked to have a full head of white hair, but he was actually only in his forties.
However, his realm had already reached 7-star.
Seeing this, Chu Zhengxiong also showed a degree of respect.
"Director Qiao, hello!"
"There’s no need for formalities. Principal Tang has given instructions that our school is to cooperate fully with the Demon Hunting Bureau’s arrest!"
"The two girls, Liu Sisi and Li Fengxia, are in their dorm room!"
"The Xingwu Guard has surrounded the dorm. They can’t go anywhere!"
Hearing this, Chu Zhengxiong nodded quickly.
"That’s great!"
"Let’s go. Up and arrest them!"
After saying this, Chu Zhengxiong led Mo Yanfeng and Qin Zhaoxue straight into the dormitory building.
Director Qiao followed behind them.
He also entered, bringing a dozen or so members of the Xingwu Guard with him.
Room 308. Several members of the Xingwu Guard were standing guard here.
When Chu Zhengxiong and his group arrived, a Xingwu Guard member opened the door.
Inside, two girls were sitting on the sofa, watching TV.
They were naturally already aware of what was happening outside.
They even knew that the Xingwu Guard had been posted outside.
And yet, under these circumstances...
...they were still able to chat and laugh as if nothing was wrong.
It was a testament to how strong their nerves were.
Chu Zhengxiong, Mo Yanfeng, and the others walked in.
They stood in front of the two girls, who glanced up at Chu Zhengxiong.
One of them said with a light laugh, "Captain Chu, you’re not making all this fuss for that pariah, Liu Shuqin, are you?"
"Exactly, Captain Chu. Is a piece of trash from the Old District really worth all this effort?"
Liu Sisi and Li Fengxia both smiled with complete indifference.
Even now, they didn’t believe they had done anything wrong.
Chu Zhengxiong burned with rage.
His fists clenched, making a CRACKING sound, and he wished he could smash them into the girls’ faces.
However, in the next moment...
...Qin Zhaoxue stepped forward with a cold expression.
SLAP! SLAP—
Two slaps landed on their respective faces.
"You... you dare hit us?"
Liu Sisi and Li Fengxia both turned to look at Qin Zhaoxue in astonishment.
"I’m hitting you for your ignorance, and for your disregard for human life!"
"So what if you’re local students? Do you really think you’re so high and mighty?"
"Since you killed someone, you will bear the consequences. No one can save you!"
"Take them away!"
Several members of the Xingwu Guard stepped forward, giving them no chance to argue.
They seized the two girls directly.
The two of them spoke with venomous expressions, "Qin Zhaoxue, Chu Zhengxiong... You just wait. For a piece of trash from the Old District, I’ll make you pay..."
