Chapter 188: Chapter 133 The First Whetstone, Can It Kill Them? (7K)_2

Cui Zhi looked troubled and reluctantly confessed the truth:

"According to Tai’an’s statement, He Lanchan’s ’Void Meditation Technique’ has chosen its master. This heritage has already been passed on, and so the Education Department can’t reclaim it."

The young man’s previously lazy demeanor suddenly vanished. He sat up straight, his eyes sharp:

"What did you say?"

Cui Zhi, the second-highest secretary of the Education Department, was so frightened that he felt his heart pound.

He wasn’t afraid of the young man himself, but the formidable power backing him.

"Young Master Ying, the Education Department has clear regulations. All educational materials in Dongxia are available for selection. If a student receives validation from the material itself, they can directly obtain the heritage."

The young man tapped his fingers on the table, his displeasure evident:

"Who is this person? Can they withstand He Lanchan’s heritage? When He Lanchan publicly entered meditation and his soul returned to the Star Sea, his Daoist School’s reputation was stripped, and his followers scattered like leaves. His ’Void Meditation Technique’ was sent to the Four National Universities, but no one could master it."

To hell with asking me, who the hell am I supposed to ask!

Cui Zhi inwardly lamented, but he had to respond. This arrogant young man had a significant background, even the Governor of Heng Province had to show some respect to his family.

"This news came suddenly. It’s been a while since He Lanchan’s heritage reappeared, but it was suppressed by the Tai’an Inspection Department and not reported up. The Martial Arts Association got wind of it first and sent someone from the Nanhuang Daoist School to verify it. The Education Department was a step behind, and the person we sent, Xu Bichang, was inexplicably hit by a bulldozer and ended up in the hospital, making the situation even more unclear..."

The young man, clearly irritated, interrupted:

"Secretary Cui!"

Cui Zhi appeared startled, shrinking his neck and looking at the young man, bewildered.

"What’s the matter, Young Master Ying?"

The young man cursed inwardly as well. Was this the behavior of the chief secretary of the Central City Education Department?

Furious enough to break something, he managed to restrain himself:

"Speak, concisely!"

Cui Zhi nodded and continued bluntly:

"In short, by the time Director Mo found out, he had already gathered almost all the details. The ’Void Meditation Technique’ has taken root in Tai’an. Due to the regulations, the Education Department has no way to forcibly retrieve it. Moreover, it seems that person has even joined the Nanhuang Daoist School."

The young man was startled:

"The old master of the Nanhuang Daoist School took him as a closed-door disciple?"

Cui Zhi shook his head:

"Currently, it’s unclear. But the Nanhuang Daoist School moving to Tai’an might be related to this matter. Additionally, the Netherworld Research Institute also received related reports. It’s suspected that high-intensity fluctuations involving the Four Pillars were detected in Dangyang, Tai’an. If we piece these events together,

that lucky individual who inherited He Lanchan’s legacy might be another prodigy with the Unity of Spirit and Body!"

With that, he pulled a stack of paper files from his briefcase and placed them in the middle of the long table.

The young man’s face darkened, his feigned elegance collapsed, and he slammed the table:

"Does Heng Province produce Martial Artists with the Unity of Spirit and Body? One dies, and another appears? They never seem to end!"

Cui Zhi bowed his head, remaining silent.

"Secretary Cui, can’t Director Mo think of something?"

The young man stood up and began pacing. He had no skill in Qi Cultivation, and spending years in the desolate Heng Province made him nostalgic for the prosperity of Hai Province.

"Director Mo’s opinion is that since so much time has passed, maybe... just let it go and settle things peacefully."

Finally, Cui Zhi got to the point.

"Let it go? Shen Changyuan lost his life, hasn’t the Ying family also suffered losses? He had to walk that path and mimic He Lanchan,

If the old master of the Nanhuang Daoist School killed so many from the Ying family that day. Secretary Cui, is Director Mo planning to retire and dump this mess on us?"

The young man wasn’t foolish. Growing up in a powerful family, he understood the implications and immediately sneered:

"Tell Director Mo, your support for New Martial prodigies, fighting in arenas with the Heng Province Martial Arts Association, the Ying family contributed a lot, didn’t they? All kinds of resources and rare treasures, Shen Changyuan blocked Mo Zhenting’s path back then, we both reached an agreement, and sent him to the ultimate peril in the Netherworld. The old master of the Nanhuang Daoist School held on so stubbornly not to close his eyes, full of bitter hatred remains tangible."

Once again, Cui Zhi fell silent. He was just a messenger, he couldn’t speak out of turn.

The young man understood as well. He paced for a few steps and then stood by the window, looking out:

"I won’t make things difficult. While you all fear the old master of the Nanhuang Daoist School going mad, I don’t. The Old Martial Sect likes to find sharpening stones? Fine, I’ll give him plenty! Break this blade with shear effort! As for Director Mo, have him help within the permissible limits."

Cui Zhi nodded and left without another word.

Quick to come and quick to go.

He looked up at the sky, where lead-grey clouds moved in like a tidal wave, weighing down heavily.

"If you didn’t have the surname Ying, who the hell would care about you!"

Cui Zhi spat, grabbed his briefcase, and drove away from the red building.

...

...

"Miss Yu’s nutritious meal is quite good."

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qin Shi fully transitioned into the second limit of the Divine Barrier stage.

Benefiting from the minerals and other resources, this time his life force increased significantly, breaking records.

It stabilized at forty-nine.

Qin Shi entered an introspective state, where the life seed located three inches below his navel was surrounded by forty-nine visible strands of misty airflow.
