Tiger Roar Fist
The Han Family Residence.
The Rear Mountain.
"My lord, the murderer has vanished without a trace. There is also a mummified corpse here, most likely the work of someone from the Yinyuan Sect."
Listening to the soldier's account, Wang Ling remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the row of corpses in front of him, where he could still faintly smell the stench of blood.
"This is the Yinyuan Sect retaliating. I want to see which one of them is so fearless, daring to be so insolent knowing I'm here."
As Wang Ling spoke, he stepped to the large pit in the open space next to him, his gaze following the steps to the dark, secret Hidden Chamber below.
"Sir, when we arrived, the contents of this Hidden Chamber had already been taken away," a soldier beside him added.
"There must be something extremely valuable in this Hidden Chamber. Strengthen our defenses these next few days and find the Yinyuan Sect Martial Artist hiding in the city as soon as possible. I want to skin them alive and tear them to pieces!" Wang Ling's tone was calm, but he naturally exuded a surging killing intent that sent chills down people's spines.
"Yes, sir!" The soldier turned and left.
On the other side.
Inside the Soul-Calming Office, in front of the Library Pavilion, Yun Tianxing was fishing as usual.
"Elder Yun, I have a question for you!"
Lin Qing had arrived here half an hour ago, but he had been waiting by the side and did not dare to disturb Yun Tianxing.
He knew Yun Tianxing's temper; if he disturbed Yun Tianxing's fishing, he would definitely fly into a rage.
He waited patiently by his side until Yun Tianxing got tired and went up to the Pavilion, then he quickly followed.
Yun Tianxing didn't rush to answer. Instead, he looked Lin Qing up and down, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Qing's shoulder, giving it a squeeze.
Lin Qing had no chance to dodge at all, because Yun Tianxing's attack speed was too fast, so fast that he couldn't react in time. In just a flash, his hand was on his shoulder.
"Good lad, you've reached the Transforming Force?"
Lin Qing was surprised that his true nature had been seen through at a glance, and he couldn't refute it.
"I can't hide it from Elder Yun; I've recently reached the Transforming Force."
"You're quite something, kid." Yun Tianxing's expression changed.
"He just has a bit of Talent," Lin Qing said vaguely.
"You've reached the Transforming Force in less than three years of martial arts training, and you call that having some Talent? If you say that out loud, you'll infuriate a lot of people. So, what's the problem?" Yun Tianxing glared.
"I wonder if Elder Yun has ever heard of a Transforming Force art called Bloodflame Incineration?" Lin Qing asked.
"Oh? It's just a third-rate martial art. Although reaching the Transcendent Realm with this martial art can greatly enhance one's combat power, the Bloodflame Force will interfere with one's mind and ignite a bloodlust. If it cannot be relieved regularly, it will become more and more serious over time," Yun Tianxing said slowly.
Lin Qing frowned. "Is there a way to solve this?"
"Yes, there are ways. Regular killing to release the urge to kill, or practicing Visualization Method to strengthen the soul. As long as the soul is strong enough, the problem will disappear on its own," Yun Tianxing added.
"The Visualization Method?" Lin Qing murmured. Wang Ling had mentioned before that strengthening the soul was an extremely effective way to combat evil magic. Now, Yun Tianxing had also brought it up, which showed how important the Visualization Method was. "May I ask if Elder Yun has any Visualization Method here?"
"If you want to Visualization Method, you'll have to go to the Prefectural City. I don't have any here." Yun Tianxing shook his head.
"Understood." Lin Qing nodded, thinking to himself that going to the Prefectural City was now urgent. Whether it was to become stronger, to resolve his twisted and inflated bloodlust, or to cure Yang Feng's illness, he had to go to the Prefectural City.
"Is there anything else?" Yun Tianxing asked again, then suddenly yawned. "I'm tired after fishing all night."
"Thank you very much, Elder Yun, for answering my questions. Farewell!" Lin Qing bowed and left.
Yun Tianxing looked at Lin Qing's back, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"Such a prodigy exists in this small county; it's worth using one of my recommendation slots."
Back at the Corpse Collector, Lin Qing had just entered when he heard Yu Qiuyu calling for help.
"Wang Dong, Zhao Tiezhu, you two come with me!"
"Old Yu, I'll go." Lin Qing leaned over.
"Alright, Wang Dong, you don't need to go." Yu Qiuyu waved his hand and led the two to the Cremation Ground.
A moment later, the three arrived at the Cremation Ground courtyard. Lin Qing glanced around and saw three corpses, each with a strong physique and bulging muscles. At the same time, some information about these three corpses appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a shock.
The three corpses were all Martial Artist, each possessing martial arts skills.
"Captain Yu, where did these three corpses come from? They're so big, they must be trained fighters." A dark-skinned man next to him asked; his name was Zhao Tiezhu.
"I heard that a patrol of Prefectural Soldiers was killed last night in the Rear Mountain of the Han Family Residence. Most of them were hacked to pieces, and one body was drained of its life force and filled with resentment. It has been sent to the Dungeon. The remaining three bodies are here," Yu Qiuyu explained.
"His life force has been drained? My goodness, the Yinyuan Sect Fiend are here again?" Zhao Tiezhu exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Qing, standing to the side, was also slightly moved. He hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly, and the fact that these twelve people had died in the Rear Mountain of the Han Family made him vaguely feel that these demons were after the treasure in the Hidden Chamber.
"What's the panic? We have three hundred Prefectural Soldiers, and Lord Wang and Lord Ran are here to oversee things. No matter what kind of demon comes, they can't cause any trouble," Yu Qiuyu shouted. "Stop dawdling, burn these three corpses to ashes first."
Alright.
Lin Qing suddenly said, "Old Yu, give me all three corpses."
"You'll be busy by yourself for a while, why don't we all work together?" Yu Qiuyu said.
"It's alright, one person is enough, don't interfere!" Lin Qing said firmly, stepping forward first and carrying a corpse into the crematorium.
Seeing this, Yu Qiuyu and the other two did not intervene, because Lin Qing had always been like this, working exceptionally hard. Some people said that Lin Qing was naturally enthusiastic, while others said that Lin Qing had necrophilia.
However, they were too lazy to investigate further. Anyway, it was a good thing that someone was doing the work; it was much more comfortable to just sit on the sidelines and do nothing.
As the body burned to ashes, a wealth of information appeared before Lin Qing.

One of the standard Bright Force boxing styles of the border troops of Shichuan Prefectural City in Shu Region Sichuan Province), it is said to have been created by the military martial arts instructor after observing the fighting of tigers and combining it with the needs of battle. It was specifically designed to train the soldiers' muscles and bones and to cultivate their fighting spirit.

After a moment's thought, Lin Qing chose to copy the Tiger Roar Fist.
In an instant, a new line of text appeared on the panel, indicating that the soul of the deceased Chen Hu had been stored.
This is a new feature added to the Rebirth Record after advancing to the Fourth Tier; it allows you to temporarily store the souls of the dead for later absorption.
