Chapter 21: How Many Enmities Are Between the Lot of You and the Beast

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It had to be said that the Armed Police Department and the Criminal Investigations Department were indeed very resourceful when they worked together.

They had found a bait, Lin Tao.

He was one of the sixteen students who had participated in the sect assessment back then. They had deduced two hypotheses in the pattern of the demonic beast’s attacks. No matter which hypothesis was right, he was among the targets of the demonic beast.

Lin Tao had his reasons for agreeing to be the bait as well.

Since he had no hope of joining the sect and was afraid that he might not get into the four great martial arts universities, he might as well find a way out for himself.

Although the Police and Investigations University was far from being as famous as the four great martial arts universities, it was not lacking in resources and cultivation techniques. As long as he could successfully graduate, though working in the Armed Police Department would be extremely risky, it could also be considered a path for martial artists. At least it was better than being an ordinary civil servant.

The Armed Police Department had reached an agreement with him. As long as he was willing to step forward and take the initiative to act as the bait, regardless of whether it was successful or not, they would write a recommendation letter for him to join the Police and Investigations University!

The two parties hit it off.

As such, for these few days, Lin Tao would appear in the streets and alleys of Qingzhou City every night.

The bait plan went smoothly.

They succeeded, the enemy had indeed appeared.

The bone-splitting lizard.

Its sharp teeth and claws could easily crush the bones of any demonic beast, let alone a human.

Hence, it was named the bone-splitting lizard!

It was a level 4 demonic beast with a huge and ferocious body that was almost comparable to an alligator. It had ice-cold skin since it was cold-blooded, hence it was naturally not afraid of being searched by thermal imaging devices. In addition to its ability to color-change and burrow underground, it was one of the most difficult demonic beasts to capture.

“Spread a net on the ground to prevent the bone-splitting lizard from burrowing into the ground. Splatter paint on its body and fill the cracks on all sides. Be careful not to allow it to color-change!” The minute Yuan Tianqing saw that the culprit was a bone-splitting lizard, he had already shouted the correct way of dealing with it.

When he landed, he twisted his feet and spun around like a spinning top, avoiding the sharp tail of the bone-splitting lizard that was heading straight for his chest.

Taking advantage of the beast retracting its sharp tail, he grabbed it. His feet were deeply rooted in the ground as he roared, “Get up!”

The bones in his body crackled as he let out a huge force!

The huge beast that weighed over several tons was sent flying by him and slammed into the ground, causing it to be in a daze.

On the other hand, Yuan Tianqing used inertia to rush forward, true qi condensing on his huge right fist.

The fist landed on the huge frontal bone on the lizard’s head.

The bone was stayed intact, but the true qi went straight into its body. The struggling bone-splitting lizard writhed for a while and stopped moving.

Its internal organs had been beaten to a pulp.

Yuan Tianqing was in the beginner phase of the Convergence Tier.

Such strength was rare even in the entire Qingzhou City. For him, beating a mere level 4 demonic beast was a piece of cake.

“Get rid of the corpse. From tomorrow onwards, the curfew can be lifted,” Yuan Tianqing wiped the bloodstains on his hands. He felt that his arm, which he had tempered over and over again, was in severe pain.

He frowned and said, “As expected of the bone-splitting lizard. Its bones are really hard. To think it can hurt me back. However, if it is the bone-splitting lizard, it’ll explain why it could hide for a few days before being discovered by us.”

The bone-splitting lizard was a kind of lizard, but it had mutated. It could camouflage, adjust its temperature to the surrounding temperature, and also burrow into the ground. If it wanted to hide, even if it was in front of someone, as long as it didn’t move, the high-tech detection items wouldn’t be able to find its tracks!

He turned to look at Lin Tao and said with a smile, “Not bad, young man. The bone-splitting lizard’s movements are very fast, but you actually dodged the first attack. When you graduate from the Police and Investigations University in the future, are you interested in working for me?”

“Thank you, Chief Yuan!” Lin Tao was so excited that his face was red.

“Alright, alright. I’m not the chief yet, but by the time you graduate, I might be,” Yuan Tianqing waved his hand and felt the piercing pain in his palm.

The bone-splitting lizard’s strength was not that great. Other than being good at hiding, its biggest characteristic was its extremely tough bones.

He had been through hundreds of battles, and could already clearly feel that his pinky bone had been broken.

Amazing.

He stood up and walked back, but he still couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled… The bone-splitting lizard preferred the swamp, and it had a lazy nature. Why would it come to where humans lived?

Forget it, it didn’t matter anyway. He had already beaten it to death.

The next day, with the lifting of the ban, the school resumed its normal classes.

Only this time, Lin Tao had replaced Li Lei and the others as the most influential person in the school.

This was also a good opportunity to promote Qingyang High School.

Lin Tao did not fear danger and did not hesitate to put himself in danger as he used himself as bait to lure the bone-splitting lizard out so that the deputy chief of the Armed Police Department could kill the beast with one punch!

Thanks to that, he received an early admission notice from the Police and Investigations University!

For a time, Almost all the teachers and students in the school were discussing Lin Tao. Wei Hua’s parents even sent him a million Xia Dollars in cash to thank him for avenging their son.

“But the bone-splitting lizard is not a beast that likes to take the initiative to attack people. Could it be that you provoked them on the way?”

Xu Lingjun and the rest could finally go out.

He was still puzzled, so he asked this question when he was sending Li Lei off, “How many enmities are between the lot of you and the beast for the beast to follow you all the way to the human society?”

“Nonsense. If we had encountered the creature back then, I’m afraid we wouldn’t even have been able to come back. How would we have had the chance to join the sect?” Li Lei was still in high spirits. However, when faced with Xu Lingjun’s question, he still felt a lingering fear in his heart.

One had to know that the bone-splitting lizards could be considered to be one of the most unique demonic beasts since only the most advanced technology would have the possibility of discovering them.

In other words, even though Teacher Zhou and the others had helped disperse the powerful demonic beasts before the students went, they probably didn’t discover the existence of the bone-splitting lizard.

During their trip to the outer region, they had truly gone through a life-and-death situation.

Yuan Tianqing killed the bone-splitting lizard as if it was a game, but if the students did encounter it, out of the sixteen students who were at stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier, it would already be considered pretty good if four or five survived.

At this moment, on Qingyang High School’s sports field, the airship that had come to pick the sect disciples up was already parked there.

All of the teachers and students had gathered on the field.

It was time for Ji Roufeng and the others to return.

Without the threat of the demonic beast, all the students came to send them off.

“Principal Guo, our sect master wishes to talk to you,” Ji Roufeng walked to Guo Xu’s side and very politely handed him a projector.

Guo Xu smiled and nodded. He turned around to throw a glance, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Even the students held their heads high and puffed out their chests, showing no signs of weakness.

A sect master was someone that only existed in legends. To meet one was practically equivalent to being received by the ruler of a country.

Guo Xu pressed the “receive the call” button.

In the sky before them, a light figure appeared.

The figure had smooth white hair and didn’t have a beard. He appeared quite refined and scholarly, making him seem more like a civil servant than a sect master.

Surprise surfaced in Wang Qingya’s eyes as she softly said, “This virtual reality conversion imaging device is quite amazing. I didn’t expect that this technology has already spread throughout the sect.”

The white haired man clearly heard these words. His eyes swept over Wang Qingya as he smiled and said, “This little lady is quite knowledgeable!”

“Greetings, sect master!” Ji Roufeng respectfully bowed and said, “Principal Guo is here!”

“Principal Guo, this is the second time we have met.”

The sect master of the Riyueming Sect did not show the slightest arrogance. Instead, he was very humble and courteous as he smiled and said to Guo Xu, “To have specially requested to speak to Principal Guo through Feng’er was to thank Principal Guo for sending talents to my sect!”

Guo Xu smiled and said, “For the Sect Master Mingri to be willing to accept the students of my school, it is already a great honor for Qingyang High School!”

“By accepting these five disciples, the Riyueming Sect’s strength should soar in the future, and Qingyang High School will become famous as well. This is a win-win situation!” Mingri smiled and said, “To have requested for such a hasty call, it’s just that I can’t help but want to take a look at these five young talents in advance. Principal Guo, please let them take a few steps forward and let me take a good look.”

He didn’t expect the sect master to be so genial.

Guo Xu smiled even more brightly and said, “Li Lei, Liu Yun, Zhao Ziqi, Zhou Zheng, and Yun Nuo, the five of you step forward and let your sect master take a good look!”

Li Lei and the others who were standing at the front took a few steps forward.

Their faces were filled with an expression that showed they were overwhelmed by the superior’s favor.

“Hahahaha, these are the future pillars of the Riyueming Sect!” Mingri laughed loudly, then turned around and said with a smile, “Elders, come and take a look as well. They are full of energy and spirit, just like unpolished jade… Good. Principal Guo, I intend to start a long-term cooperation with Qingyang High School. In the future, every year, I will take five disciples from Qingyang High School to join the Riyueming Sect. Is that okay?”

Behind him, the more than ten white-haired elders stepped forward, their expressions extremely harmonious.

Ji Roufeng’s Master was among them as well. They looked at Li Lei and the others with warm and approving eyes.

Guo Xu, on the other hand, was ecstatic.

Five students per year?

What kind of concept was that?

Didn’t this mean that Qingyang High School would take off from next year?

Everyone would fight to enter his school!

Guo Xu was overjoyed.

He turned around to look at the teachers whose eyes were filled with excitement. Just by looking at Guo Xu’s expression, they knew that. later in the meeting, an increment in salary and bonus would definitely be the first line of his speech!

Even the eyes of the thousands of students behind the teachers lit up.

Did this mean that they might have a chance?

For a moment, the crowd was harmonious.

The atmosphere between both parties grew even more harmonious..
