"That can't be real, no one can run that fast!" Ling Yi naturally couldn't admit it.
"We also suspect the video was tampered with; after all, five seconds for 100 meters is beyond human Limit."
"Then I won't bother you two any longer."
After the two inspectors left, Jiang Hongming stared intently at Ling Yi with her beautiful eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ling Yi asked, scratching his head.
"You went out that night?"
"No, no!"
"You hesitated, so you must have gone out while I was asleep," Jiang Hongming said definitively.
"No, my body has been in the room the whole time." That's perfectly reasonable.
"Do you want to learn martial arts?" Ling Yi quickly changed the subject and asked.
Jiang Hongming's eyes lit up; no one could resist the Gravity of becoming Martial Arts Expert.
"May I?"
"Sure."
"Isn't it said that martial arts training should start from a young age?"
"I will use my Internal Energy to help you clear your meridians and connect the Heaven and Earth Bridges, allowing you to directly become a master of the Innate, achieving it in one step."
"Don't want!"
"Why?"
"You'll definitely suffer some losses this way."
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh. Did he lack Internal Energy? Not at all. This Spiritual Power was not only an infinite health bar, but also an infinite mana bar. As long as he had Spiritual Power, he could infinitely convert Spiritual Power into Internal Energy.
He still has over 40,000 Spiritual Power left, making Jiang Hongming a master of the Innate is a piece of cake.
Ling Yi had already decided that he would settle Jiang Hongming down in the next city.
After all, the places he goes to in the future will become more and more remote and dangerous, and he may even encounter God Grade Spirit Body. It would be too dangerous for Jiang Hongming to follow him.
However, Ling Yi was worried about leaving Ling Yi Jiang Hongming alone, as he needed Jiang Hongming to have some ability to protect herself.
Don't worry, there won't be any problems.
Jiang Hongming didn't believe it and shook her head again.
"Then don't blame me for using force." Ling Yi reached out and pressed Jiang Hongming's pressure points, instantly freezing her in place.
"The process of flushing out the meridians can be a bit painful, so..."
Ling Yi placed a finger on Jiang Hongming's pressure point, causing her to fall into a deep sleep...
When Jiang Hongming woke up, she could clearly feel that her body had undergone tremendous Changes.
Hearing, vision, strength, speed, and all other aspects have seen a comprehensive improvement.
When she's focused, she can hear the flapping of a mosquito's wings a hundred meters away and see the feathers of a sparrow flying overhead hundreds of meters away.
"It seems Taiyi from what I imagined." Jiang Hongming muttered to herself after making a few classic martial arts gestures with two fingers together.
"So what kind of person do you think Martial Arts Expert should be?"
"The movements aren't graceful!" Jiang Hongming shook her head and said.
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "What you saw were all artistic embellishments in movies and TV shows. That was just performing martial arts, not Kung Fu Hustle."
" Kung Fu Hustle is all about defeating the enemy with a single move, killing them with a single blow. It's a life-or-death struggle between two people. There's no need for so many fancy tricks. The real Jianghu isn't just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions. There aren't many places where fighting and killing are necessary."
"A duel between masters can be a matter of life and death; often, a few seconds can separate them by life and death."
Don't masters spar with each other?
"We always wear protective gear when sparring."
Jiang Hongming asked in surprise, "We need to wear protective gear?"
"Yes, full protective gear. I remember a movie called ' The Final Master.' You should watch it sometime. Compared to other Kung Fu Hustle movies, this one is more realistic."
"Oh!"
The two stayed in Xinfeng City for nearly a week.
During this time, Ling Yi has been teaching Li Hongming Roaming Dragon Mental Cultivation Method, the Roaming Dragon Movement Technique, and the Roaming Dragon Acupoint Sealing Hand.
Ling Yi didn't teach any of the extremely lethal martial Kung Fu Hustle, such as the Dragon Soaring Roaming Dragon Saber Technique Roaming Dragon Sword Technique, the Dragon Soaring Saber Technique, or the Hidden Weapons weapon techniques.
Li Hongming only needs to be able to protect herself.
Kung Fu Hustle is a killing technique, not a performance. Once it's used, it's either death or serious injury. I'm afraid Li Hongming will have a hard time controlling his strength.
If she accidentally kills someone, Li Hongming will be ruined.
The next stop on Ling Yi's plan is Dangfeng City.
To be precise, it is the Changping Ancient Battlefield, about fifty kilometers south of Dangfeng City.
This is the site where the Qin and Zhao armies clashed, and also the place where Bai Qi, the god of war, buried alive 400,000 Zhao Jun.
Because this place is far from the city, many Spirit Body should be able to survive here.
Therefore, Ling Yi was quite looking forward to this trip to the Ancient Battlefield.
Dangfeng City is a second-tier city, then it's around ten million.
About forty years ago, a horrific animal rampage occurred in Dangfeng City.
Snakes, insects, rats, ants, tigers, leopards, wolves, birds, beasts, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens... all creatures suddenly and inexplicably went out of control one night and began attacking humans frantically.
In just a few days, nearly half of the population of Dangfeng City perished.
It happened so suddenly, without any warning whatsoever.
The Ancient Country dispatched nearly 300,000 troops and spent two months finally resolving the issue of all the animals.
From that time onward, for nearly thirty years, the Ancient Country strictly prohibited individuals from keeping pets and forbade live animals from appearing in the cities.
This ban was not lifted until ten years ago.
The official explanation for the animal rampage is that the animals mutated after drinking the contaminated water from a chemical plant in Dangfeng City.
However, many people do not believe this claim, which has led to countless versions of urban Legend.
By now, it's very difficult to distinguish between the real and fake.
Ling Yi speculated that the animal rampages in Dangfeng City might be related to Spirit Body.
Humans become Spirit Body after death, and animals may also become Spirit Body after death.
If an animal's Spirit Body were to reach the Black Tier or even the God Tier and develop sentience, it could very well control these animals to attack humans.
Of course, these are just Ling Yi's guesses. Whether they are true or not, we will only know when we encounter the animal Spirit Body.
So far, Ling Yi has not encountered a single animal Spirit Body.
"What do you think of this villa?" Ling Yi asked Jiang Hongming in a high-end villa area in Dangfeng City.
"That's great, the location and environment are excellent, but do you really want to buy it?" Jiang Hongming asked.
"Okay, you'll be living here from now on."
Jiang Hongming suddenly froze, staring at Ling Yi for a long while before asking, "And what about you?"
"The place I'm going to next is very dangerous..."
Jiang Hongming bit her lip and just stared at Ling Yi. Her gaze made Ling Yi unable to say anything more.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't mean anything by it, I just don't want you to be in danger with me."
Jiang Hongming remained silent, staring at him with her large, watery eyes, which made Ling Yi lose his temper.
"Okay, I give up, I'm leaving!"
Ling Yi grabbed Jiang Hongming's hand and turned to walk outside.
"Hehe!" Jiang Hongming chuckled mischievously and grabbed Ling Yi's arm.
The few staff members left at the sales office looked at each other in bewilderment.
In order to protect themselves, Jiang Hongming's parents not only severed ties with her when she was in her most difficult time, but also "sacrificed their own family for the greater good".
It was precisely because of her parents' encouragement that Jiang Hongming was thrust into the eye of the storm of public opinion.
This incident was a huge blow to Jiang Hongming.
The moment she learned that Ling Yi had been pronounced "dead" by the Doctor, she had already resolved to die.
If Ling Yi hadn't arrived in time, who knows what Jiang Hongming, heartbroken and despondent, would have done.
Amidst the ups and downs, Ling Yi became Jiang Hongming's only source of emotional support.
Now, she has come to regard Ling Yi as her only family and support.
Ling Yi's intentions were for her own good, but he overlooked Jiang Hongming's feelings.
As evening approached, Ling Yi and his companion randomly chose a barbecue restaurant to eat at.
" The Ancient Battlefield is a national-level restricted area, with troops stationed there year-round. Are we really going to the Ancient Battlefield?" Jiang Hongming asked Ling Yi in a low voice.
"That's why I asked you to stay; I have reasons I have to go."
The more Ling Yi Ling Yi about this world, the more he realized how complex it was, making it imperative for him to improve his strength.
"I know you mean well, and I know you're right, but I don't want to be separated from you."
"Okay, then let's not separate." Ling Yi nodded and said.
"I will work hard in my cultivation and will not be a burden to you," Jiang Hongming said earnestly.
"How could I be a burden? I need you to protect me tonight."
Ling Yi frequently needs to leave his body, and once he is in this state, his physical body becomes extremely vulnerable. With Jiang Hongming protecting him, Ling Yi is essentially free from any worries.
Having made his decision, Ling Yi stopped worrying about it.
"Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you the Roaming Dragon Sword Technique and the Roaming Dragon Saber Technique. I also need to prepare some things for your self-defense."
Hearing Ling Yi's words, Jiang Hongming gradually realized that what Ling Yi was about to do was probably very dangerous.
Jiang Hongming had gained a profound understanding of just how strong Ling Yi was recently. Anything that Ling Yi took so seriously must be extremely dangerous.
Having figured all this out, the slight resentment Jiang Hongming had initially harbored quickly dissipated.
But just then, a middle-aged man with half of his arm covered in tattoos appeared in front of the two of them.
The tattooed man didn't even glance at Ling Yi; his gaze swept freely over Jiang Hongming.
"Hey beautiful, wanna grab some food?"
Jiang Hongming frowned, her face full of disgust, and sat down further inside, saying coldly, "I don't know you."
"Beautiful lady, let's get to know each other formally. My name is Zhao Jie..."
"I don't want to know you. Please leave."
Zhao Jie sneered and said in a low voice, "You're from out of town, aren't you? To tell you the truth, we brothers have our eyes on you. Spend one night with us and everything will be fine; otherwise, I guarantee you won't be able to leave Dangfeng City."
"I..." Jiang Hongming's face turned red with anger, and she wanted to say something.
Ling Yi patted her shoulder and said, "There's no need to waste words with this kind of person. Did I teach you all the Kung Fu Hustle I was supposed to?"
Ling Yi stood up, loosened his collar, and said, "Seriously, you can't even eat in peace."
