After Ye Li left, the students from Zhenjiang University breathed a collective sigh of relief, their tense expressions finally easing.

They looked at the young man leading them and couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Feng, is that really a Golden Waist Token from Fengyun University?"

Their tone was clearly filled with disbelief.

They had been too far away earlier and hadn't held it in their hands, only seeing the words "[Fengyun University]" from a distance.

As for why they didn't step forward to verify it on the spot.

It was because it didn't matter if it was fake, but if it turned out to be real and they angered that Boy in Black, their troubles would be even greater.

Moreover, the opponent had killed a peak Third Order Martial Artist who was heavily injured in such a short amount of time, so their strength was definitely Third Order or above.

The chances of it being the real deal were very high.

"It's genuine, I confirmed it just now."

Under everyone's gaze, the leader's expression remained ashen: "Damn it, when you're unlucky, even drinking water can get stuck in your throat."

"How many Golden Tokens does the entire Fengyun University have in total?"

"To actually run into one in such a small place like Linhai City, we're truly cursed..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions were complicated.

They were still struggling to track the fugitive's movements, and students from Fengyun University had already come and killed the person.

Now, with just a few words, they were told to invite their principal and teachers to apologize after returning to school, and they could only comply...

There was no choice, who made them so awesome?

Thinking this, they gritted their teeth and stepped forward, quickly disposing of the corpse on the ground.

The most ridiculous part was that when the Qingyi Bureau arrived, they would still have to report the credit to the other party.

They didn't need to worry about not finding the person to be rewarded; there were only so many Golden Token students at Fengyun University, and the school would know who was currently in Linhai City with a quick check.

The leader secretly marveled after examining the corpse.

Damn, the killer was truly ruthless.

Even though Xiang Bu, a peak Third Order Martial Artist, was heavily injured, his counterattack before death was no joke.

An ordinary Third Order Martial Artist couldn't have killed him without paying a price.

This student from Fengyun University acted so decisively and left so easily and calmly...

In the future, any fugitive who encountered him would truly be blessed.

The sun was high in the sky. A taxi carrying four people was heading towards Linhai First High School.

In the car, Wang Yongfeng, in the passenger seat, was on the phone.

In the back seat, Jiang Qingzhu observed the handsome Boy in Black beside him out of the corner of his eye.

He said he was going to the restroom, but why did he have a faint smell of blood on him?

"..."

Ignoring Jiang Qingzhu's gaze, Ye Li leaned against the car window, his eyes fixed on the scenery outside.

This was the first time he had killed someone, and surprisingly, he didn't feel any nausea or urge to vomit.

His heartbeat had only quickened slightly, making him feel a surge of emotion.

When Ye Li was still at Second-Tier Level One, he had to take a hit when fighting Jiang Qingzhu, who was at Second-Tier Level Four, even with a perfected [Heavenly Dipper Void-Treading Technique], to unexpectedly subdue him.

Back then, it was about information asymmetry, relying on the almost unsolvable [Indestructible Golden Soul].

But now, facing a peak Third Order Martial Artist, he, who was only at the Half-Step Third Order, could achieve a swift, unharmed kill...

Alright, Ye Li admitted.

The reason he could achieve a swift, unharmed kill was mainly because the opponent was heavily injured.

Even so, after he activated the [Golden Soul Revival] state, the opponent still managed to trade blows for several minutes without falling.

This was truly terrifying, and it was the first time Ye Li had encountered such a troublesome enemy.

As expected of a peak Third Order Martial Artist.

After this ordeal, the True Qi in his body was almost depleted.

If both sides were in their prime, Ye Li would choose to frown and retreat behind the others.

Or he would steadily add Attribute Points before making a move to flip the table, otherwise, he might just flip over.

But no matter what.

Just tell me, wasn't this a swift, unharmed kill!

"..."

Ye Li's lips curled up. Although the humiliation part was omitted this time, resulting in a less substantial gain of Malice Points, he was still in a good mood from successfully verifying a new hypothesis.

Killing people, even those who were thoroughly evil, could earn Malice Points.

This was the weight of death.

By extension, could killing异兽 also yield Malice Points?

Ye Li's thoughts began to wander.

"All set!"

At this moment, Wang Yongfeng, sitting in the passenger seat, hung up the phone. He turned to look at Ye Li and chuckled, "The Treasure Tool jointly sponsored by the two universities this time has been delivered to your training room, along with the relevant instructions. Remember to take a look when you have time.

"Also, is there anything else you need? Don't be shy, just ask the school, and they'll reimburse you!"

Hearing this, Ye Li didn't hold back and immediately said, "I need a Refinement Method of a decent level."

"Refinement Method?"

Wang Yongfeng was slightly taken aback and instinctively asked, "Not a Breathing Technique?"

Seeing that Ye Li rarely appeared to be depleted of True Qi, he had assumed Ye Li had already found a suitable Breathing Technique.

"In such a hurry? If I put in some effort, I can get you an S-Grade Refinement Method in a couple of days after the exams."

Jiang Qingzhu suddenly spoke up, her voice trailing off with a rising inflection, saying something that shocked both Wang Yongfeng and the driver:

"You've already mastered the [White Mist Frost Snow], haven't you?"

The driver's shock was purely from hearing the term "S-Grade."

Wang Yongfeng, however, was stunned by the content of the young lady's words.

If his memory served him correctly, [White Mist Frost Snow] was an S-Grade Breathing Technique passed down through generations of the Jiang Family.

Its value was likely even higher than those S-Grade Breathing Techniques circulating on the market.

Setting aside why Ye Li would possess it.

Just mastering it would take several years even for the most talented Martial Artists Wang Yongfeng could recall.

And it hadn't been... two weeks since Ye Li met Jiang Qingzhu, had it?

Mastered already? Was it real or fake?!

Wang Yongfeng's throat felt dry as he looked at the Boy in Black with disbelief.

He saw Ye Li casually nod his head:

"I suppose it's mastered."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yongfeng's heart was thrown into turmoil.

It was truly mastered.

Two weeks to master an S-Grade Breathing Technique... This talent was simply unreasonably strong!

He abruptly looked at Jiang Qingzhu. The young lady, however, remained very calm and continued, "Then you should understand that similar to the high endurance and cultivation speed provided by an S-Grade Breathing Technique, S-Grade Refinement Methods also have many unusual aspects compared to ordinary ones."

"It's like a furnace for refining metal; the way it's refined will determine the final result."

"After the True Blood Realm, there are still differences within the same tier; that's where this saying comes from."

"So, why don't you wait for me for a few days?" the young lady asked, her clear eyes blinking, her voice cool and clear.

"I never said I wouldn't wait for you."

Under Jiang Qingzhu's slightly stunned gaze, Ye Li calmly said, "Can't I have it all?"

Jiang Qingzhu:?

Wang Yongfeng:?!
