Chapter 301: Chapter 206 The Boxing Techniques Are Lacking

"What, Yang Yilong is dead in the old district, killed by Li Yi?"

A piece of news that shook the Tianchang City Cultivation Circle suddenly emerged, causing all the Cultivators who received this message to find it unbelievable.

Who is Li Yi?

Many people had never heard of him, but everybody had heard of who Yang Yilong was.

A renowned Spiritual Perception Master who had long made a name for himself, one of the few in Tianchang City most likely to become a Cross-border, had died in tonight’s operation, and not because of danger but because he was killed by Li Yi, who was only at the inspiration realm.

This was simply an inconceivable tale.

Now, in Tianchang City’s Cultivation Circle, who had the right to claim they could kill Yang Yilong?

Unless someone with a condensed Soul emerged, otherwise Yang Yilong could have walked anywhere he pleased.

"Could it be fake news?" Many people began to doubt because the news was too outrageous, making it feel unreal.

However, some Cultivators who were still operating in the old district understood that the news was most likely true.

Because they had indeed felt intense fighting in the area under Li Yi’s responsibility and had heard severe fighting noises. But now the fighting had ceased, and the news of Yang Yilong’s death came out, forcing them to believe that Li Yi had indeed killed Yang Yilong, otherwise, it would have been Li Yi who died tonight.

"This Li Yi has hidden so deep, he could actually kill Yang Yilong?" Gu Mengping, who was resting in the old district, tightened his eyes as he looked at the information on his phone, his heart shaken.

He was acquainted with Yang Yilong and knew how strong Yang Yilong’s abilities truly were. It was precisely for this reason that he couldn’t imagine what Li Yi relied on to defeat Yang Yilong— even if he held two sniper rifles, it would be fruitless, as a Spiritual Perception Master could easily dodge bullets.

"Wait, this is bad, Yang Yilong is dead, and Li Yi has shown such formidable strength. Doesn’t that mean the spot in Golden Academy will fall to him? Damn, I am doomed."

Then, Gu Mengping suddenly came to a realization, leaping up from the ground, his face changing unpredictably.

In another location.

Ning Wu and her cousin Yu Chuan were resting when Ning Wu received this information through her own channels and was utterly shocked.

"Ning Wu, what’s happened?" Yu Chuan asked.

"Cousin, the Li Yi from last time has killed Yang Yilong," Ning Wu pursed her lips, conveying a sense of unease and panic in her tone.

Yang Yilong?

Yu Chuan paused for a moment. He was not a Cultivator from Tianchang City and was not familiar with the local people and affairs, but he had heard of a few renowned masters here, such as Li Shaqing, Yang Yilong, and Zhang Lei.

"You mean, a Cultivator at the inspiration realm has killed Yang Yilong, the very powerful Spiritual Perception Master?"

"It seems to be the case..." Ning Wu nodded.

Yu Chuan’s expression became extremely solemn, "It seems that my previous premonition was correct. That Li Yi is no ordinary person and cannot be judged by normal standards. Luckily I had persuaded you earlier to give up on the idea of revenge and to stay away from the disputes here. Otherwise, it would have been our death news spreading tonight."

"Cousin, do you think all this has to do with a Mysterious Object?" Ning Wu asked.

Yu Chuan shook his head, "Analyzing the current signs, even if Li Yi has a Mysterious Object in hand, it almost certainly isn’t a complete one, most likely just an incomplete wonder. Although an incomplete wonder is very precious, it probably only serves the function of a Cultivation Cabin for him, offering limited enhancement of his abilities. His breakthrough to the inspiration realm may be aided by the wonder, but the four hundred and twenty percent Cultivation Value and killing a Spiritual Perception Master beyond a realm— this is not something an incomplete wonder could accomplish."

"That Li Yi is extraordinary. Even if you obtained an incomplete wonder, it would be difficult to surpass such a person."

At this moment, he felt somewhat relieved that he hadn’t planned to help Ning Wu take revenge and hadn’t been tempted by the incomplete wonder, or else he wouldn’t have been able to walk out of Tianchang City alive.

"It looks like I’ll have to avoid him in the future," Ning Wu sighed, saying somewhat helplessly.

In fact, she also understood that Li Yi had reached his current status not by relying on a mysterious object but more so on his own abilities.

Such a person merely lacked an opportunity. Once that opportunity was grasped, they could soar to the heavens.

"I’m relieved that you can think this way. After this mission is completed, we’ll have fulfilled our contribution to reduce our sentences, and then we’ll leave Tianchang City," Yu Chuan said. "But don’t feel disappointed. I also have my own connections, and it’s very likely that in the future I can secure an opportunity to Cross Border."

Ning Wu didn’t speak, just nodded her head.

"Yang Yilong was killed by Li Yi? Haha, this really is some incredible news."

At this moment, in the vicinity of Wangmen District in the old district, Li Shaqing burst into laughter upon receiving this message.

The reason he laughed was that with Yang Yilong’s death, the spot in Golden Academy would fall to him, as there was no longer any strong and powerful competitor in the Cultivator Association.

So now, Li Shaqing was as good as admitted to Golden Academy, regardless of whether the mission was completed or whatever the outcome.

However, after his initial joy, Li Shaqing’s brow furrowed again, "But how exactly did that Li Yi kill Yang Yilong? Could it be that his strength has grown to such an extent?"

To be able to kill Yang Yilong meant that he could kill him too.

And now, in the blink of an eye, the top master in Tianchang City had become another Cultivator in the inspiration realm?

Wasn’t that stretching credibility a bit too far?

"I actually want to meet this Li Yi now, to see just how far his strength has grown," Li Shaqing’s gaze flickered.

For the first time, he was so curious about a Cultivator.

Because he really couldn’t figure out how a Cultivator at the inspiration realm could kill a top-tier master in such a short period.

Could it be that Yang Yilong had been foolish, bumping into a sniper rifle, and then decided to compare his head’s hardness with the bullets’?

It didn’t make sense.

Li Shaqing shook his head, no longer pondering the question. If Li Yi truly had such ability, he should also be able to reach nearby Wangmen District soon — a meeting would resolve many doubts.

As the news of Yang Yilong’s death continued to spread, Li Yi’s reputation was firmly established that same night.

At this moment, countless Cultivators were curious about him and wanted to uncover the secrets he possessed, but more than anything, they felt awe.

Because the strength that Li Yi had now displayed was already enough to make everyone wary.

"We’ve rested enough, let’s set out."

However, at this moment, Li Yi paid no attention to the messages outside; having eaten his fill and taken a brief rest, he immediately resumed his actions.

There were still Walking Corpses in the old city district.

And the deeper one went, the stronger the Walking Corpses became.

But now, after becoming a Cultivator in the Refining Realm, Li Yi’s strength was extraordinary. Coupled with wielding the Hanging Man Spear, he could almost bulldoze his way through everything, not worrying about the damage the Walking Corpses could inflict on him, nor fearing their numbers. His Qi-Blood was in abundance at the moment; in front of him, numbers temporarily lost their significance.

Under such circumstances, his progress was extraordinarily fast.

And this scene was captured by the helicopters above.

The information was sent back to the investigation bureau.

Many of the higher-ups regarded Li Yi’s potential and demonstrated strength with favor.

"I never expected this demon extermination operation would actually bring us a surprise. Li Yi’s strength is so formidable—he even killed Yang Yilong. With him on the team, the progress is astonishingly fast. In my opinion, this task will mostly end by his hand. I remember he also killed the spider matriarch."

"Correct, I’ve read Zheng Gong’s report; the Spider Monster incident was indeed resolved by Li Yi. If this demon extermination operation can end smoothly, I think the second spot at the Golden Academy should go to him."

"Li Yi is indeed reliable. He is a proper external battle member trained from a base and has been working for the investigation bureau all this time. He deserves our trust more than others do, and he previously saved Zhang Lei, who was unconscious."

The opinions of these higher-ups were highly consistent.

As long as there were no accidents, the two spots at the Golden Academy would go to Master Pete and Li Yi.

It was a pity that Zhang Lei had compromised for the sake of the situation and did not want to compete for a spot; otherwise, it would’ve been difficult to decide who should go.

Just an hour had passed.

Li Yi’s squad had completed their mission in their own district and successfully entered the core area of the old city district.

"There’s only one place called Wangmen District left uncleaned," said Zheng Gong, opening his tablet to check the situation in each district and then speaking up.

Wangmen District?

Li Yi’s expression shifted; he remembered this district. He had been there when he risked taking on a mission in the Ruined District for one hundred thousand yuan. He also remembered seeing Wang Jian there at that time, working on a case where a woman had been murdered.

A mentally ill person had seen the killer entering the room one after another.

"I know why Wangmen District hasn’t been cleaned. There’s something very wrong with this place, no one dares to enter it recklessly."

Lin Yue, frowning, spoke up from the side. She felt vaguely uneasy under the influence of her Spiritual Sense.

Moreover, what was eerie was that it seemed people were still living in Wangmen District. Lights were on in the district; it was eerily quiet.

To the unaware, it would seem like everything here was normal.

"Li Yi, you really have shown up," a voice suddenly sounded at that moment.

Then Li Shaqing and several Spiritual Perception Masters walked out from a nearby alley, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, as if he had never seen Li Yi before, continuously sizing him up.

"Li Shaqing?" Li Yi’s expression shifted; he had met this man during the scramble for the mysterious object in the Ruined District.

"Vice Chairman," Lin Yue and Zhao Lingfu also greeted.

Li Shaqing nodded in acknowledgement and then said, "I heard that Li Yi killed Yang Yilong. Is this true or false?"

"The news spread so quickly?" the crowd was surprised.

It had only been about an hour, and Li Shaqing already knew?

"It’s true. Yang Yilong was personally killed by Li Yi. His head was shattered, but his body was taken away by his teammates," Lin Yue said.

There was nothing to hide, and it was not something shameful.

"Impressive, truly impressive. Last time I saw you, Li Yi, you were with Zhang Lei in the Ruined District. Time flies, and now you are already a top-tier expert."

Li Shaqing now looked at Li Yi, observing an aura of Qi-Blood smoke rising above Li Yi’s head, and even from a distance, a wave of heat hit him.

This aura was indeed remarkable.

Clearly, Li Yi had undergone an unbelievable transformation during this period, gaining an unimaginable amount of strength.

Now he thoroughly believed that Li Yi had indeed killed Yang Yilong, and it was not simply a case of Yang Yilong being unlucky enough to catch a bullet.

"My strength isn’t that strong; it’s just that Yang Yilong was too foolish. He tried to forcibly learn my boxing techniques without knowing I had held back, causing a flaw in his boxing. That’s how I found an opportunity and turned the tables on him," Li Yi spoke calmly, using Li Shaqing’s mouth to spread the news about the flaw in Yang Yilong’s boxing techniques.

He couldn’t just watch the Yang Family sell his boxing techniques for money.

And now that Yang Yilong was dead, there was no need to keep the falsity of the techniques a secret anymore; it could be revealed.

"A flaw in his boxing techniques?" Li Shaqing was taken aback and then his mouth twitched.

He had also bought a set of boxing techniques from Yang Yilong, and now, encountering Li Yi, he had received such significant news straight from the source.

But afterwards, he understood Li Yi’s actions.

When one’s own strength is weaker, it is normal to do such things. After all, who would be willing to give away their techniques for free?
