Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills

Chapter 56: Head Supremacy Huang

The two scriptures that Ye Weiming took out were the ‘Shooting Star Throw’ and the ‘Quanzhen Sword Techniques’.

After the previous interactions with this NPC, Ye Weiming realized that although You Jin looked frightening, he was not a bad person. Thus, he had the thought of asking You Jin for advice.

No matter what the outcome was, it was always good to listen to different opinions.

He asked You Jin to look at two scriptures, but his real aim was to listen to his opinions on the ‘Shooting Star Throw’. As for the ‘Quanzhen Sword Techniques’, he had already decided to practice it. But since he was planning on asking You Jin, asking for more opinions wasn’t harmful at all.

You Jin took the two scriptures from Ye Weiming silently and flipped through them. After scanning the books, he returned the scriptures to Ye Weiming.

“‘Shooting Star Throw’ is not suitable for you.”

“Why?”

It was an odd day if You Jin was helpful. He patiently explained to Ye Weiming, “The ‘Shooting Star Throw’ is just a special concealed weapons move. It allows you to shoot multiple concealed weapons at once so that you could block all of your opponent’s path of retreat. However, it’s unable to improve your accuracy. If someone who specialized in concealed weapons practice this move, it will become a powerful attacking move for him. But for you…”

“Okay, I understand.”

Ye Weiming knew how horrible the accuracy of his concealed weapons was. Thus, he moved away from the topic and asked, “What about the ‘Quanzhen Sword Techniques’.”

“Good stuff!”

You Jin continued, “Little White has already told me about what happened through a letter. You performed well.”

Ye Weiming was dumbfounded. He just parted with Bai Zhanji recently. How did his letter arrive faster than him?

Also, I’m asking you about ‘Quanzhen Sword Techniques’. What did it have to do with Bai Zhanji?

He heard You Jin continuing, “Actually, this ‘Quanzhen Sword Techniques’ is really precious. It’s as valuable as the advanced sword skill Lin Zhipei had, the ‘Swift Gale Sword’. No, it might even be more valuable than that!”

Ye Weiming probed further curiously, “If the ‘Quanzhen Sword Techniques’ is so powerful, why did Lin Zhipei spend so much effort to snatch the ‘Swift Gale Sword’ scripture? He even willingly changed his sword skills.”

“This involved the unique features of a kung fu.” You Jin was probably bored so he started analyzing for Ye Weiming, “We can’t simply use ‘good or bad’, or ‘powerful or not powerful’ to describe a kung fu. That’s because every single kung fu has its unique features. When you’re choosing your kung fu, you should especially take note of this point.”

He paused for a moment before continueing using his awful voice, which sounded as though he had suffered terrible torture, to say, “Let’s take this ‘Quanzhen Sword Techniques’ you’re holding as an exmaple. It might be an intermediate sword skill but it is even more precious than many other intermediate sword skills. That’s because it can strengthen your foundation.”

“To put it simply, practicing this sword skill can increase your foundational attributes. The increase isn’t much but the combination of the attribute can affect every single kung fu you have learned. This is a special ability that only internal energy has currently!”

“If you look at its power, it’s not as powerful as those advanced or ultimate sword skills but it’s not weak among its counterparts. If we have to find a weakness, the weakness is that it’s an authentic Taoist kung fu. It requires an orderly progression so it will be hard to gain success in a short time.”

“Lin Zhipei gave up the ‘Quanzhen Sword Techniques’ and chose the ‘Swift Gale Sword’ because he wanted to increase his ability in a short time. He might be restricting his future potential but from his point of view, this was a good decision.”

“However, your condition is different. I feel that this ‘Quanzhen Sword Techniques’ might be more suitable for you.”

Ye Weiming knew that You Jin was referring to the ‘Heaven’ technique he had, ‘collecting corpses’. This technique allowed him to collect proficiency points more efficiently than the other players, so the greatest weakness of this kung fu wasn’t unacceptable for him.

At this moment, a player who was wearing the same Flying Fish Suit as Ye Weiming rushed in furiously. After he saw Ye Weiming, he was stunned for a moment. Then he shouted angrily, “Ye Weiming, you fooled me!”

This was none other than Fei Yu, the second person who shouted ‘I want to leave the clan’ after Ye Weiming. The second constable of the Divine Constable Bureau.

When he saw the other party’s furious expression and his urge to fight with him, Ye Weiming asked him back, “How did I fool you?”

“I…”

Fei Yu felt speechless for a moment. He didn’t know how to answer Ye Weiming.

From the very beginning, Ye Weiming did remind him that this Divine Constable Bureau was not a good clan. He was the one that didn’t believe in Ye Weiming and looked at him with disdain. However, as a good youth with good moral values, Ye Weiming didn’t give up the thought of saving this youngster from danger even though he was being mocked. He continued persuading the young man.

But this fellow didn’t listen to him!

Who could he blame?

Naturally, Fei Yu understood this logic but every time he recalled that scene, he felt that Ye Weiming did everything on purpose.

He must have done it on purpose!

This fellow didn’t just fool him. He even made him swallow his bitterness so that he couldn’t complain about his sufferings to other people. He was so evil!

March, who was waiting at the front yard, came in as well. When she saw the two people arguing, she wanted to open her mouth and help Ye Weiming. She wanted Fei Yu to understand what was cursing without naming names!

However, before she could showcase her talent, You Jin opened his mouth and said, “Okay, stop fighting. Since everyone is here, follow me. I’ll bring you to see Head Supremacy Huang.”

“Everyone is here?” Ye Weiming was stunned. “Our clan only has three players? The game has started for quite a while but you haven’t even filled up the four slots in your clan?”

You Jin laughed. “How did you know that the standard configuration for the Divine Constable Bureau is four players?”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Ye Weiming shrugged. “The clan only has four special techniques, ‘Heaven’, ‘Earth’, “Human’, and ‘Ghost’. They can’t be learned repeatedly so if you take in a fifth player, what is he supposed to learn?”

You Jin didn’t disagree with what he said. He just walked towards the hall right at the back of the huge courtyard. “Follow me.”

…

The furnishing of this hall was very simple. It looked like a small-scale meeting room. There were no plaques at the front of the hall. There were more than ten mahogany chairs on each side of the room. Between every chair, there was a coffee table. Right in the middle of the room, there was a study table. An elderly around 50 years old was sitting upright behind the table and reading a book carefully. The scholarly aura around him was very strong.

From the position this person was sitting, it wasn’t hard to guess that he was the Head Supremacy Huang who Zhan Zhao and You Jin talked about. However, as the highest leader of the Divine Constable Bureau, this Head Supremacy Huang looked like he didn’t know kung fu.

Head Supremacy Huang noticed that people had entered the hall but he still finished reading the page he was on before closing and placing it on the table. He raised his head and said, “Have a seat.”

You Jin immediately greeted Head Supremacy Huang with cupped fists. Then he said to the three players behind him, “You don’t have to restrain yourself too much in front of Head Supremacy Huang. Find a seat for yourself.”

All the players came from the modern world and entered this world as players. Hence, they didn’t have any fear towards high-ranking officials. You Jin sat down on the first seat on the left. The three players chose their own seat and sat down too.

Ye Weiming sat beside You Jin while Fei Yu sat on the first seat on the right without any fear. His seat was the opposite to You Jin’s. As for March, she didn’t care about being proportionate and sat down beside Ye Weiming. Her attitude was obvious.

The moment they sat down, March sent Ye Weiming a private message: Why does Head Supremacy Huang look so gentle and refined? He seems like a normal civil servant. How is he able to manage all these highly skilled kung fu masters in the Divine Constable Bureau?

Ye Weiming replied: The background of this game is in a non-existent dynasty similar to the Northern Song. Northern Song is an extreme example of a dynasty that emphasized heavily on studies. Thus, it is normal that a government official is in charge of all these kung fu masters. It’s nothing surprising.

March: = ̄ω̄=

At this moment, Head Supremacy Huang, who was sitting in the host’s seat, finally opened his mouth and said, “Recently, multiple murders have occurred at the Fuwei Escort Agency in Fuzhou City. The culprit is brutal and is extremely arrogant. He even used his blood as ink to write down threats towards the citizens. The citizens are now scared to even go out of their houses. I order the three of you to investigate this case together. The reward mission will be an intermediate sutra that I had created in my early years.”

He paused for a moment. Just as the three players were feeling shocked that this refined-looking Head Supremacy Huang had the ability to create his own sutra, he continued in a calm tone, “You will get additional Intelligence too.”
