One side had solid evidence, while the other had nothing but baseless speculation born from subjective imagination and conjecture.
Who should be believed was obvious.
"Li Yao, I'll repeat myself one more time."
Inspector Liu reiterated, "There is currently no evidence proving that Luo Shen killed your son. If you have evidence, then present it. I, Liu Liang, will personally send him to court!"
"But!"
"As for you hunting down a member of our Limitless Martial Arts Academy within the base city today, I will report it to headquarters and leave the decision to several Inspectors and the First Speaker. Li Yao, I hope you'll still be able to maintain that same unruly attitude when the time comes!"
If Li Yao had not also possessed a Black God Suit, Liu Liang was not fully confident he could capture him alone.
Moreover, he was in a hurry to take Luo Shen away.
Otherwise, Inspector Liu would have been unable to stop himself from personally teaching that ignorant Li Yao a proper lesson. It seemed that the Limitless Martial Arts Academy had remained quiet for too long, and many people had forgotten just how formidable they were!
Li Yao paid Inspector Liu's warning no heed whatsoever.
His gaze remained fixed firmly on Luo Shen.
"Consider yourself lucky. Liu Liang is protecting you this time, but next time, I'd like to see who else can protect you!" Li Yao's eyes gleamed with the cruel ferocity of a Vulture searching for prey.
Luo Shen knew.
This Vulture had truly set his sights on him!
Though he found Li Yao's persistence somewhat speechless, Luo Shen understood one thing even more clearly: Li Yao had dared to bully and humiliate him today because he was not strong enough!
If he possessed the strength of a High-level War God and could firmly overpower Li Yao, how would Li Yao dare act so brazenly!
"Strength! Strength!"
A sudden sense of urgency arose in Luo Shen's heart.
A mere Li Yao was naturally not worth Luo Shen's concern. Once he entered the Elite Training Camp, obtained a Dragon Blood reward, and raised his strength to the Mid-level War God rank, he could casually pin Li Yao to the ground and grind him into the dirt.
What truly concerned him was the Golden Horn Beast crisis that would arrive several years later, as well as the Nuolanshan Family.
There were many people on Earth capable of restraining Li Yao.
But the Golden Horn Beast and the Nuolanshan Family were terrifying disasters for all of Earth. Even though Luo Feng in the Original Work had Soul Possessed the Golden Horn Beast, there had still been a measure of luck involved.
I need to increase my strength as quickly as possible.
Luo Shen thought to himself, Li Yao is right. Inspector Liu can help me now, but what about the future? It can't possibly be such a coincidence every time that someone steps forward to help me.
Lean on a mountain, and it may collapse. Lean on others, and they may leave!
Only one's own strength was something real and dependable!
On the way to Jiangnan Headquarters.
Seeing Luo Shen remain deep in thought, Inspector Liu spoke to comfort him. "Don't worry, Luo Shen. Once we enter Jiangnan Headquarters, Li Yao won't dare act recklessly."
No one in the world dared cause trouble at the Limitless Martial Arts Academy unless they wanted to die!
Hong's reputation had not been built on empty praise. It had been forged from the lives of countless monsters and countless people who had dared challenge him!
"I know."
Luo Shen smiled. "A mere Li Yao isn't worth my attention. I've only been a warrior for two months. Give me a little more time, and the next time Li Yao sees me, he may have to take a detour."
Inspector Liu chuckled as well. He liked Luo Shen's confidence.
Before long, the two arrived at the main urban district's general headquarters.
In the chairman's office on the highest floor of Limitless Tower, Luo Feng, Zhuge Tao, and Chairman Zhou Zhengyong had been waiting for quite some time.
"Inspector Liu!"
"Old Liu!"
"Luo Shen!"
Seeing Luo Shen and the other man return safely, Luo Feng and the other two hurriedly came forward.
Luo Feng was the most excited of them all.
Unable to restrain himself, he slammed a fist heavily into Luo Shen's shoulder before pulling him into a hug. So excited that he could barely speak coherently, he said, "Good thing you're alright. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how to face you in the future. I really... I..."
Luo Shen understood what Luo Feng meant.
Luo Feng had killed Li Wei, but when Li Yao came looking for trouble, he had gone directly after Luo Shen.
In Luo Feng's eyes.
It was equivalent to Luo Shen taking the disaster in his place, so naturally he felt deeply guilty.
Luo Shen smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I'm fine."
To the side.
Inspector Liu looked at Zhou Zhengyong and asked, "Have you asked when the special envoy will arrive?"
Zhou Zhengyong nodded.
"This time, it's an old acquaintance, Yang Hui. I heard the situation was urgent, so he borrowed an Inspector's Smart Fighter Jet and is currently on his way here."
A smile appeared on Inspector Liu's face. "Yang Hui, huh? It's been a long time since I last saw him."
As he spoke, Inspector Liu glanced at the two of them and said, "Since the special envoy is coming this time, you can both take the test together. Perhaps you'll even be able to go to headquarters together."
Luo Shen understood.
It seemed the wings he had stirred as a little butterfly had already set the gears of fate in motion. Special Envoy Yang Hui had arrived even earlier than expected.
"Luo Shen, Luo Feng, tell me about your recent cultivation progress."
Director Zhuge Tao said.
Since the Headquarters Special Envoy had come by Smart Fighter Jet, he would not take long to arrive. Before he got here, Zhuge Tao needed to gather information on the two men's physical attributes and actual strength.
It would not do for the special envoy to ask questions when he arrived, only for them to know absolutely nothing.
The two exchanged a glance.
Luo Feng spoke first.
He honestly introduced his situation. "I tested myself a month ago. My punching strength was 10,000 kilograms, my speed was 129 meters per second, and my neural reaction speed met the Intermediate Warlord standard. The technique I cultivate is the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, and I completed the Third Level not long ago!"
"The Third Level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade?"
Inspector Liu and Zhou Zhengyong were both stunned. Each could see the surprise in the other's eyes.
Although sabers were not their primary weapons, they had naturally heard of the famous Ultimate Secret Technique, the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. It was said that even the Proficiency-level requirements had stopped many people.
To complete the first three levels of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade in only half a year.
It seemed.
Luo Feng's talent was quite outstanding as well!
Zhuge Tao was somewhat worried that Luo Feng might be exaggerating deliberately, so he kindly reminded him, "Luo Feng, when the special envoy arrives later, he'll personally inspect and verify it. You'll have to demonstrate it in front of us then!"
Luo Feng naturally understood Zhuge Tao's good intentions and nodded confidently. "No problem."
A few days ago, Luo Feng naturally would not have dared make such a confident promise.
But first, the hundred-billion bounty had thrown his mind into turmoil. Then, after speaking with Luo Shen and Xu Xin over the phone in succession, the pressure in his heart had completely vanished. Amid the wild swings of emotion, as though aided by the gods, he had successfully completed the Third Level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.
So now, he could confidently beat his chest and guarantee that there would be no problem at all!
Zhuge Tao glanced at the Inspector and the chairman.
Inspector Liu nodded. "Mm. Completing the Third Level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade in only half a year means his punching force amplification should have reached 2.8. It seems that when Yang Hui comes this time, he'll be able to recruit two Elite Training Camp members."
Zhou Zhengyong frowned. "But Training Camp slots are scarce. I'm afraid headquarters won't readily agree to give out two at once."
"This isn't something we need to worry about. Let Yang Hui report it, then leave the Inspectors to decide."
As he spoke, Inspector Liu smiled at Luo Shen, who was preparing to speak, and asked curiously, "Now I'm rather curious. Just how strong has this kid become?"
To escape alive from the hands of Vulture Li Yao was a feat that even the vast majority of Beginner War Gods likely could not accomplish.
Zhou Zhengyong followed his gaze.
Looking at Luo Shen before him, Zhuge Tao's expression was somewhat complicated. There was relief, but also emotion. Not long ago, he had personally watched Luo Shen pass the Prospective Warrior practical examination, yet how much time had passed since then?
Luo Shen's strength had already surpassed his own.
At the very least, he himself did not possess the ability to escape alive from a High-level War God.
Luo Shen coughed lightly and said, "I've been training in the Wilderness Area during this period and haven't had time to test my physical attributes. But judging from my battles with monsters, my physical attributes should have reached the Intermediate Warlord level. I'm also cultivating the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, and I've just completed the Fourth Level."
As for his movement technique and saber technique, Luo Shen did not list them one by one.
No need to scare them.
But even so, the expressions of Inspector Liu and the other two became like this---
(Holy shit!)
