A Martial Arts Talent One in Ten Thousand
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Qing finally received a batch of high-quality corpses.
In the Cremation Ground courtyard, Lin Qing glanced around and saw fifty or sixty corpses lying on the bluestone slabs in front of him, most of whom were Martial Artist, carrying martial arts skills.
"Why are there so many corpses today?" Wei Dong, standing next to Lin Qing, asked curiously.
Although the Prefectural City has a population of several million, there are several Corpse Collection Team, each of which is assigned a Cremation Ground.
Normally, Lin Qing and his team handle no more than ten corpses a day.
"A few days ago, Lord Wang led a team to arrest a large group of Black Dragon Gang members. Some of them were sentenced to death by the Netherworld Pacification Bureau for their heinous crimes, and nearly two hundred people were executed in one go. Some of their bodies were sent here," Tang Ping explained, still reeking of alcohol and carrying a jar of wine. "Let's get to work. Dispose of these bodies as soon as possible. If they're left too long, they might be corrupted by evil spirits and become Evil Spirits, which would be disastrous. Lin Qing, you go first and pick three from here."
There were a total of nineteen Corpse Collector present, tasked with handling fifty-eight corpses, with each person handling three bodies, ensuring fairness and impartiality.
Lin Qing stepped forward, and with a glance, he could see all the information about the more than fifty corpses under the blessing of the Rebirth Record.
This is the advantage of the Fourth Tier Rebirth Record: its detection range is extremely large, and it can grasp all information without physical contact.
Lin Qing's eyes suddenly lit up as his gaze fell on the corpse of a thin boy in the northeast corner. The boy looked very weak and wasn't even Martial Artist, but he actually possessed an Exceptional level Martial Artist Talent attribute, which greatly shocked Lin Qing.
Tier 3 Excellent, one in a hundred; Fourth Tier Elite, one in a thousand; Tier 5 Exceptional, one in ten thousand!
Moreover, this is not a single Talent, such as fist techniques or Saber Art, but a martial arts Talent, meaning that all types of martial arts will be enhanced.
Lin Qing didn't show much expression on his face, but he was overjoyed inside.
"With this Talent, even if I can't directly copy martial arts techniques, my martial arts realm will improve at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people!"
Lin Qing immediately stepped forward and moved the boy's body to an open space to the side. Then he selected two more bodies from the remaining corpses that contained martial arts skills.
One of the corpses was a man in his thirties with unusual features, including a thick red beard. He possessed a Transforming Force technique called the Mad Lion Saber.
The second corpse was a tall, handsome young man with a fair complexion and no beard. He was also a Transforming Force Martial Artist who had mastered the Heavenly Wind Sword.
"This trip has been incredibly fruitful. It would have been impossible to find so many corpses of martial Transforming Force Martial Artist in the Prefectural City, or even in Jiangyin County."
Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then moved the two corpses to an open space to the side. He then first put the body of the thin boy into the crematorium.
In an instant, the boy's corpse turned to ashes. Lin Qing did not rush to absorb his soul, but instead stored it in the Rebirth Record.
He then followed the same method, sending the other two corpses into the crematorium and storing their souls for later reabsorption.
After finishing all this, Lin Qing walked out of the crematorium and into the courtyard. He saw others busily dealing with the corpses. There were only seven or eight untouched bodies left in the courtyard, four of which belonged to Martial Artist. His heart burned with excitement, and he couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Old Tang, let me handle these four bodies too."
Old Tang glanced at it, let out a burp, and shook his head. "It really won't work, Brother Lin. Everyone in our Corpse Collection Team has a quota. Each person must dispose of a certain number of corpses each month. Unless the number of corpses is too low that month, if someone doesn't meet the quota, they will only receive 80% of their monthly pay."
"I understand," Lin Qing exclaimed.
The Soul-Suppressing Division of Fucheng Town is indeed more strictly managed than that of the Soul-Suppressing Division of Jiangyin County.
"What? Brother Lin likes doing this?" Tang Ping asked in surprise, noticing Lin Qing's tone as if he were quite disappointed.
"I have a strange temper; I was born with a liking for cremating corpses. Otherwise, I wouldn't have joined the Corpse Collection Team. Old Tang, can't you make an exception for me?" Lin Qing asked with a smile, making up an excuse at random.
"I understand. Everyone has their hobbies. For example, I love drinking, and your love for cremating corpses is... well, it is a bit abnormal. Don't worry, I will make every effort to accommodate you. In the future, if a corpse is sent here, you will be the first to handle it," Old Tang said with a smile.
"Thank you." Lin Qing nodded slightly.
"If you're still not satisfied, you can go find Lord Wang, or you can work hard and one day become Corpse Collection Team Constable Chief, where you can distribute corpses however you want," Old Tang added.
"Understood, I won't trouble Lord Wang with this." Lin Qing shook his head.
Wang Ling is usually very busy and rarely stays at the Soul-Calming Office's headquarters. He travels around every day, and wherever there are Yinyuan Sect followers, there he is.
However, Old Tang's second suggestion really appealed to Lin Qing.
Indeed, if he himself became Corpse Collection Team Constable Chief, he could break through the rules and restrictions of the Soul-Calming Office.
However, becoming Constable Chief is not easy. First, one must be strong enough to be Martial Artist with the Pill Embrace Force. Second, one must have made contributions. Third, one must have a position.
In the Soul-Calming Office, the number of Constable Chief Office Chief and Executive is fixed and rarely changes.
"No rush, take your time. First, improve your skills, then accumulate merits. You'll eventually have a chance to be promoted to Constable Chief."
Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then returned to his own courtyard.
With a thought, he first absorbed the soul of the thin boy, and a large number of fragmented memories surfaced in his mind.
A moment later, Lin Qing opened his eyes, having already processed this memory.
This boy was only sixteen years old, came from a poor family, had never learned martial arts, and lost both his parents when he was young. Judging from his family situation alone, he was very sympathetic.
However, his actions after joining the Black Dragon Gang were utterly despicable. He had murdered a family of three, not even sparing a seven-year-old child. Such a person was extremely wicked, and it is not surprising that he was sentenced to death.
Then, a large number of martial arts skills appeared before Lin Qing, or more accurately, life skills, plus an Exceptional talent for martial Talent.
With a thought, Lin Qing immediately copied and equipped this martial arts Talent, and in an instant, he felt like a completely different person.
Although I didn't feel anything physically, my thinking underwent a significant change. Before, when I studied the Tathagata Fist Manual, I always had many questions in my mind, and I couldn't solve them no matter how many times I thought about them.
But now, in just a few breaths, these questions have been answered, and he vaguely feels that the Tathagata Fist Manual has taken a big step forward.
That wasn't all. When he simultaneously equipped himself with the Exceptional- level Fist Talent attribute, the two combined, causing his mindset to undergo another transformation.
Without needing to think specifically, all kinds of doubts are resolved one by one, and all kinds of inspirations emerge endlessly in the mind.
"So this is what it feels like to be a genius, it's exhilarating!" Lin Qing silently savored the experience for a while, feeling quite moved.
Previously, his martial Talent was just average, but now he truly understands how great it is to be a genius. His learning speed is several times that of ordinary people, and he has almost no bottlenecks.
"Continue!"
Lin Qing had another thought and absorbed a second soul, adding another memory to his mind.
This time it's a leader from the Black Dragon Gang, who is also notorious for his evil deeds.
The Black Dragon Gang is filthy; none of the members who become hall masters there are good people.
