Senior Xu sucked in the Qi, and suddenly, with a flick of his wrist,

there was a loud bang.

Zhang San was sent flying by Senior Xu’s shockwave and fell hard on the ground.

Both Pharaoh and Ma were startled by this scene.

Could it be that the energy Zhang San had just released wasn’t the Innate Qi but some kind of special Qi that could suppress the living dead?

"Ma, you deal with the living dead more often, what exactly was the energy that Zhang San just released?"

Ma shook his head.

"How would I know from so far away?"

Meanwhile, Zhang San looked at the Innate Qi slowly dissipating in the surrounding air with a sigh.

"Are you dumb or what? I gave you so much Innate Qi; if you don’t absorb it, I can take it back, just don’t waste it!"

Just then, as the wind dispersed the Innate Qi, Ma, who was not far away on a rooftop, sniffed and frowned.

"It really is Innate Qi."

"What!?" exclaimed Pharaoh, utterly shocked.

This Zhang San... was he actually using his own Innate Qi to help someone else?

Has he gone mad?

Yet, Zhang San just stood up with a smile and looked toward Senior Xu, who had finally managed to control his breath.

Senior Xu turned his head and glared at Zhang San with all three eyes.

"You give me Innate Qi, just like that?"

Zhang San laughed, replying, "If you want it and I don’t give it to you, you’d be unhappy. So, what, now that I’ve given it to you, you’re still not happy? Are you suffering from some serious illness?"

"That’s the Innate Qi. Isn’t that the most valued thing for you martial artists and cultivators?"

Zhang San nodded emphatically and said, "That’s right, Innate Qi is extremely important for martial artists."

"However, since I arrived at the Town Martial Office, Senior Xu has always treated me very well. His presence is also extremely important to me."

"Compared to that, I think the Innate Qi I just gave you is nothing."

"Do you want more? I have plenty here; if you like it, you can absorb it all."

With that, Zhang San pointed downward, making a very generous gesture.

"Come on, absorb it from me!"

Contrasting with Zhang San’s generosity, at this moment, Senior Xu was showing an embarrassed face, and even the ferocious look in his third eye turned into panic.

"You... What kind of person are you? Even if Senior Xu himself stood in front of you and said he needed your Innate Qi, would you give it to him?"

Zhang San nodded firmly.

"Of course!"

Zhang San’s tone was very calm.

However, these words completely threw Senior Xu, who was being controlled by wronged souls, into confusion.

It took a good while before Senior Xu spoke up.

"You... you... your goodness will get you killed sooner or later!"

"No! Not sooner or later, you should already be dead!"

"This world is a dog-eat-dog world!"

"What’s the point of being a good person? You should be bad, yes! You should definitely be bad!"

"Why must you be a good person? Don’t you know that good people get bullied? Don’t you know that being bad allows you to live the high life? Why? Why?"

Zhang San frowned as he glanced at the now unstable Senior Xu, realizing the oppressive aura on both Ling and Wei had vanished.

At this moment, Senior Xu seemed to be losing control.

It wasn’t the real Xu who had lost control, but rather the wronged soul within him was somewhat out of control.

He couldn’t quite articulate what this state was; he only felt that something was not quite right mentally.

Zhang San spoke, "Those who provoke me, I will definitely not let go. Those who help me, naturally, I will take extra care of them. Isn’t this human nature?"

"Hey, I still have plenty of Innate Qi here, do you want it or not?"

"It was you who said you wanted it before, and now you are the one acting all coy and shy! What do you want to do!?"

At this moment, the Xu opposite Zhang San, with panic in all three of his eyes, made Zhang San realize that something was wrong with this wronged soul.

Now, the look Xu gave Zhang San was filled with not only panic and fluster, but also more and more confusion.

"It shouldn’t... absolutely shouldn’t..."

"How can someone like you survive!"

"In this dark and filthy world rife with injustice, those exalted vermin only know how to suck the marrow from our bones; those self-important martial artists never consider common people, seeing us as no different from cattle and sheep!"

"In such a world, an honest person like me is doomed to be exploited and bullied until I die with no place to be buried! But... but..."

"But you... why can you still survive!? Someone as good as you, aren’t you supposed to have died long ago?"

"Aren’t all the good people in this world supposed to have died out long ago?"

"Why? Why are you still alive! You are clearly a good person too! As long as someone is good, they can’t possibly survive in this dirty world! Why—"

Xu’s roar was deafening.

Xu’s words... tore at the heart.

Zhang San gave a wry smile.

"I don’t know why I am still alive, and I don’t know if I count as a good person, but if I do, then I will choose to become stronger, strong enough to sever all that is dark, filthy, unjust, and arrogant! With the heart I hold, with the sword in my hand!"

Listening to Zhang San’s words, Xu stumbled back two steps, crashed into the wall behind him, and then slowly sat down, lowering his head and passing out.

Wei immediately went over to check on Xu’s condition.

Finding out that Xu had merely fainted after the retreat of the wronged soul and seeing that his old friend wasn’t seriously harmed, Wei finally felt relieved and then turned to Zhang San to express his gratitude.

Meanwhile, Ling rushed over to check on Zhang San’s injuries and asked, "You’ve expended so much Innate Qi, have you gone mad?"

Zhang San smiled faintly, as calm as ever, "No concern, it was just a bit of Innate Qi; consider it a gift to Senior Xu. Sister Ling, don’t worry, I have plenty of Innate Qi. But Senior Xu, there’s only one of him."

As he spoke, Zhang San glanced at the unconscious Xu and shook his head.

"Sister Ling, I just spoke a few truths, how did the wronged soul break down like that?"

Ling gave Zhang San a sideways glance, not wanting to speak.

In the distance, two elders who had been hiding their presence were now looking at Zhang San with subtle changes in their gaze.

Previously, they had both wanted to take Zhang San as an apprentice, mainly because his talent was just too astonishing.

Especially over these last few days, Ma Lingyao had nearly passed on all his skills to Zhang San.

"Pharaoh, if one day I die, please help me deliver this eyeball to Zhang San. This is the most precious gift I, as his teacher, can leave for him."

Pharaoh gave Ma a sideways glance and said coldly, "You’d better dig it out yourself and deliver it to him before you die. I don’t know how to handle that eyeball."

With that, Pharaoh turned and was about to leave.

Ma, curious, asked, "Such a good kid, aren’t you going to try again?"

Pharaoh waved his hand and smiled indifferently.

"Try what."

Ma hadn’t expected his old friend to choose to give up.

"Whether he agrees or not, the next successor of Legalism will be him."

"When I get back, I’ll announce him as my heir, whether he likes it or not."

"Legalism speaks of laws, not reasons."
