At Black Street.
Lu Huaimin immediately called the two of them over.
"What exactly happened!?"
Chu Sheng had long prepared his explanation and recounted the course of events.
Only, according to him, it had been the Chimen Society people who struck first.
And Chen Feng had also admitted that he knew the three men were Alien Kin.
With that, the evidence lined up.
Of course, the most crucial link also lined up, because Chen Feng was already dead.
Lu Huaimin listened with considerable confusion. "He had that much nerve!?"
He was nothing more than a lackey working for someone else.
Yet he actually dared collude with Alien Kin. If his master found out about this—
Wouldn't his entire family be killed?
"Exactly. Even after all that, he still dared ambush me, so I didn't hold back and slaughtered him."
Lu Huaimin swept his gaze over the two of them, then sent Sun Youya away.
Immediately afterward, he warmly patted Chu Sheng on the shoulder.
"Now that there's no one else around, tell Uncle: was that Alien Kin matter real or not?"
"It was real!"
Lu Huaimin stared at Chu Sheng for several seconds before finally relaxing his brow at the last moment.
Chu Sheng was even smarter than he had imagined.
"Very good. Remember what you said. No matter who asks, it was real. Have Sun Youya write the report for you, and teach him how to write it."
Lu Huaimin's response made Chu Sheng mutter to himself for quite a while.
Clearly, he knew Chu Sheng had lied.
Yet not only had he not exposed him, he had even tacitly approved of it.
Could it be that he had wanted to deal with the Chimen Society from the very beginning?
Or perhaps...
He wanted to deal with the people behind the Chimen Society as well?
Still, regardless of which reason it was, it was good news for Chu Sheng.
It was just a matter of lifting a hand...
Could he possibly complain about having too many Justice Points?
After returning to the Jingwu Bureau, notifications came through on Chu Sheng and Sun Youya's phones.
Mission complete!
The culprit was Chen Feng. Chen Feng was dead, so naturally the mission had been completed.
And since they had wiped out the Chimen Society, it counted as a major achievement.
Aside from the basic one hundred merit points and thirty thousand Federal Currency—
Lu Huaimin additionally rewarded them with three hundred merit points and one hundred thousand Federal Currency.
Merit points could be exchanged for pills, equipment, and cultivation techniques.
Lightning Marsh was indeed powerful, but it was a trump card that consumed too much true qi. After three uses, he would be spent.
With Blade Mastery, he naturally could not let his saber techniques fall behind.
Chu Sheng had his eye on a saber martial skill.
Unlike ordinary martial skills—
The "Nine Forms of the Great River" Chu Sheng had chosen was divided into three parts, with three forms in each part.
In other words, it could be learned separately.
The first three forms could be learned at the Qi Sea Realm, and right from the start, they were equivalent to an earth-rank mid-grade martial skill.
After mastering all nine forms, it would become a genuine heaven-rank high-grade martial skill.
But the first three forms alone required five thousand merit points. He was still far from that.
There was no need to deliberately save up Justice Points.
Chu Sheng arrived at the Jingwu Bureau's dedicated testing room.
Ding Consumed 3300 Justice Points Your martial cultivation has risen to the second level of the Qi Sea Realm Ding Consumed 3600 Justice Points Your martial cultivation has risen to the third level of the Qi Sea Realm Ding Consumed 1000 Justice Points Your Violet Dragon Embrace Art has been raised to perfection Current Justice Points: 3300
When he used the Violet Dragon Embrace Art again, the gigantic dragon formed from violet lightning was no different from a living creature.
Lightning traced the furious, wide-open eyes of the dragon's head.
The arcs of electricity winding around its body crackled explosively, while violet radiance boiled around it.
In but an instant, his figure appeared dozens of meters away.
"With the Thunderous Saint Body, my physique alone is already enough to rival the strongest peak Qi Sea Realm cultivators."
"Paired with this kind of speed..."
Muttering to himself, Chu Sheng used the Violet Dragon Embrace Art again and threw a punch at the testing dummy.
15200KG!!! (Second level of the True Essence Realm)
Seeing the data, Chu Sheng nodded in satisfaction.
"If I used a saber, even fourth or fifth level True Essence Realm cultivators wouldn't be impossible to fight."
Shengze City was merely a level-four base city.
In the city, True Essence Realm cultivators were already among the notable experts.
This also meant that Chu Sheng, a high school student, had officially entered the ranks of Shengze City's experts.
Yet more than twenty days ago—
He had merely been a senior-year student in an ordinary class, only at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm.
No one would believe it if he told them.
"Cheating felt great for a moment; cheating all the time felt great all the time..."
Chu Sheng truly liked this feeling of growing stronger.
Or, to put it more precisely—
The feeling of gradually taking his fate into his own hands!
News of the Chimen Society's destruction spread quickly.
It stirred up a tremendous uproar throughout Shengze City.
The Chimen Society alone was nothing much, but who did not know that the Zheng family stood behind it?
The Jingwu Bureau was backed by the Federal Government, so nothing would happen to it.
But the inspectors handling the case might not be so fortunate.
The following morning.
When Zheng Dongming, the Zheng family head, learned the news, he flew into a rage.
"Third Brother, go to the Jingwu Bureau and ask what happened."
"And find out who did it! They dared touch even the Chimen Society? I think they're tired of living!"
At the same time, at the Jingwu Bureau.
As Chu Sheng walked down the road, a young man suddenly reached out and blocked his path.
The young man was Ling Bin, Lin Hongzhao's friend.
After returning from a mission yesterday and hearing that Lin Hongzhao had been injured, he had been heartbroken.
After personally seeing her injuries, Ling Bin's fury had soared to the heavens.
It would have been one thing if Chu Sheng did not know how to cherish a flower or treasure jade.
But this was only an assessment, and he had actually injured her so badly?
Ling Bin had come today only to seek justice for Lin Hongzhao.
If Chu Sheng was willing to apologize, that would be fine. If not, there was no harm in letting him taste his iron fists.
"Kid, don't be nervous. I don't mean any harm."
"Mm."
Chu Sheng nodded. "You're just asking for it."
If you had something to say, you could say it.
Reaching out to stop someone for no reason at all—if that was not asking for it, what was?
Did I even know you?
Ling Bin's expression changed slightly. When he saw the people around them struggling not to laugh—
As an old hand at the Jingwu Bureau, he felt he could no longer save face.
"You're quite arrogant, kid."
Then, his tone shifted.
"But you do have the capital to be arrogant. After all, you got in through the back door. Ordinary people like us really can't afford to offend you."
For an instant, Chu Sheng seemed to see his old classmate, Lü Cha.
The young man wore a smile, his expression contemptuous and disdainful.
"So what? You feel unbalanced? If I had a back door to walk through, why wouldn't I use it?"
"You make it sound so lofty, looking down on people who pull strings. But the only reason is that trash like you has no back door to walk through, so you've grown jealous."
"If someone opened a back door for you, you'd be so happy you'd spiral straight into the sky on the spot."
At those words, Ling Bin's face instantly flushed crimson.
He had been completely shattered!!!
He had never expected anyone to speak of pulling strings with such righteous confidence—and words that struck so deeply at the heart.
Of course he was jealous. Who here would not be jealous?
"You were perfectly fine, yet you insisted on coming over to get cursed at! Satisfied now?"
With that, Chu Sheng turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Ling Bin blocked his path again, his face filled with towering fury.
"Chu Sheng, do you dare come to the martial arts platform and duel me!"
"Didn't you wipe out the Chimen Society? I'm only at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm. Don't tell me you're scared?"
In truth, Ling Bin did not believe at all that Chu Sheng had single-handedly wiped out the Chimen Society.
He believed it was merely the bureau chief building up Chu Sheng's reputation.
Today, he would expose this lie.
When he saw Chu Sheng rubbing his chin rather than agreeing immediately, it only further confirmed his suspicions.
But in reality, Chu Sheng was merely considering how to kill his heart before killing him.
Even if he defeated this trash, he would not gain any Justice Points.
It was a waste of time to linger with him.
Ling Bin knew victory was already in the bag, and a smug look could not help rising at the corners of his mouth.
"What? You don't dare?"
"Right now, I want you to say it again in front of everyone: who is the trash!!"
The people around them all wore expressions of eager anticipation.
They also wanted to see whether Chu Sheng was truly as formidable as the rumors claimed.
Amid the discussions, Chu Sheng took out his phone.
Everyone was greatly surprised.
No, someone was challenging you to a spar. Why were you making a phone call?
The next second, when they heard what Chu Sheng said—
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Ling Bin was even more dumbfounded.
"Hello, Uncle? There's someone here gossiping about me to my face in public."
"Fire him for me. Never hire him again."
"What's his name? Hang on, I'll ask him..."
