At the entrance of Ruyi Residential Complex in Dafeng City, police lights were flashing and crowds were bustling about.
Ling Yi, who had just returned home from school, saw this scene and immediately realized that something had happened.
The entrance to the entire residential complex was almost completely blocked by people, so Ling Yi couldn't squeeze in and naturally had no idea what was happening inside.
But with so many police cars deployed, it must be no small matter.
"Another person has died. Is this the sixth person to die in our city?"
"I don't know who this heartless person is, specifically targeting young girls. They're utterly despicable. If I ever run into them, I'll beat them to a pulp."
"Come on, I heard that guy is Martial Arts Expert who can leap across rooftops and jump several meters at a time. He even killed someone with a hammer. He could kill you with a single finger."
"And you believe that? Where are there any Martial Arts Expert in this world? Flying over rooftops and leaping several meters at a time? Martial Arts Expert have all become internet celebrities, okay?"
"Exactly, I don't know where this news came from, it's really quite exaggerated."
"Tsk, why don't you guys believe me? The security guard who watches the security cameras in our community is a relative of mine. He told me personally that the murderer captured on camera is Martial Arts Expert, the kind who can jump up to the third floor in one leap."
"No picture, no proof! I don't believe it!"
Because the main entrance to the residential area was blocked, the number of onlookers increased.
Ling Yi gradually pieced together the gist of what he'd heard from the crowd.
The deceased was named Jiang Xiaowen, and she attended the same school as Ling Yi, Dafeng City No. 1 Middle School.
After finishing her evening self-study session last night, Jiang Xiaowen disappeared after leaving the school gate. Her body was reportedly dumped at the entrance of the residential area by a person wearing a mask around 11 a. m. this morning.
According to the so-called eyewitness, the man was wearing a gray trench coat, sunglasses, and a mask. He was very tall and, after throwing the body down, jumped onto the roof.
Then, like Spider-Man, he bounced between rooftops and disappeared.
Ling Yi, of course, did not believe this.
However, things have indeed been quite turbulent in Dafeng City lately.
No, it's not just Dafeng City; many other cities also seem to be in turmoil.
The frequency of murders is too high.
Six people died in Dafeng City in one month, and with Jiang Xiaowen, that makes it the seventh.
To be honest, Dafeng City is just a small third-tier city!
No murders had occurred in the previous ten years or so.
Now, not only has a murder occurred, but seven people have died. This is definitely a major case.
However, this has nothing to do with Ling Yi. He is just an ordinary transmigrator, a transmigrator who has been here for more than ten years without any cheat codes.
Twelve years ago, the original owner of this body and her entire family of three perished in a car accident.
Ling Yi happened to transmigrate into the body of the original owner of the body and became the only "survivor" of the car accident. After that, he lived at his second uncle's house.
His second uncle treated him like his own son, and his second aunt and sister never treated him like an outsider.
They raised him and supported his education until now.
Although Ling Yi had replaced the original body, more than ten years of relationship had made him regard his second uncle's family as his closest relatives.
It wasn't until 12:30 that the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed after the body was taken away, and the main gate of the residential area finally returned to normal.
Ling Yi caught a glimpse of the corpse; all he saw was a pale, withered arm.
Ling Yi had met Jiang Xiaowen before, and he had a deep impression of her.
She is one of the school's recognized School Belle, known as the "slightly chubby goddess."
He's quite famous at school.
Because the two lived in the same neighborhood, they would occasionally run into each other on their way to and from school.
This girl has a beautiful smile, especially her two Tiantian dimples, which are incredibly soothing. Even the most gloomy person would feel happy upon seeing her sweet smile.
Since she's a slightly chubby goddess, Jiang Xiaowen naturally isn't too thin.
But that pale arm was so thin it looked like skin and bones.
Is it possible for someone to lose this much weight in just one night? It seems impossible.
At home, my second aunt was cooking in the kitchen, but my younger sister and second uncle were not there.
Ling Yi casually asked, "Second Aunt, where are Second Uncle and Xiao Li?"
"Hmph, what else could she do? Your second uncle went fishing early this morning, and Xiao Li kept saying she wanted to go too. She didn't even do her homework, she just ran off."
Ling Yi couldn't help but smile.
My second uncle doesn't smoke, drink, gamble, or seduce; his only hobby is fishing.
Ling Yi didn't understand fishermen, so he couldn't understand what was so addictive about fishing.
I don't understand, but I respect it.
As for Xiao Li, she's a little troublemaker; getting her to stay home and behave is practically impossible.
"Dinner will be ready soon, let's eat first. Those two won't be back until dark."
My second aunt carried the dishes out of the kitchen.
"You're a senior in high school now, and you'll be taking the college entrance exam in two months. Eat more," said Auntie, placing a chicken leg into Ling Yi's bowl.
"Thank you, Second Aunt." Ling Yi smiled and did not refuse.
His second uncle and aunt were really good to him.
Ling Yi cherished this feeling and vowed to repay it in the future.
Meanwhile, in dormitory 512 of the senior class at Dafeng City No. 1 Middle School High School, a handsome boy was sticking two fingers into a broken power strip.
A crackling electrical current flickered between his two fingers.
But the boy showed no sign of pain; instead, he appeared to be enjoying it.
About half an hour later, he removed his fingers from the power strip.
He glanced cautiously in the direction of the dormitory door before returning to his upper bunk and adopting a cross-legged Meditation posture.
"Of all those cultivation techniques, the only one that's truly viable is the Lightning Arts. Once Entry the Lightning Arts and generated True Yuan within your body, cultivating the others will be much easier. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but for the sake of cultivating immortality, I'll give it my all."
His name is Ye Chen; he is neither a time traveler nor a Revive person.
He's just an incredibly Luck.
About a week ago, my Shou-Lao from my hometown passed away peacefully, and his family took him back to pay their respects.
Unexpectedly, they found an inconspicuous little Shitou on the prayer cushion in the ancestral hall.
After falling asleep that night, he entered a dream and met a fairy in his dream.
According to the immortal in the dream, he was the ancestor of the Ye Clan. He failed to Ascension to immortality a thousand years ago and disintegrated into Loose Immortal, entrusting his soul to a piece of Soul-Guarding Jade.
It has only survived to this day thanks to the offerings of its descendants.
But now, the ancestral family's incense offerings are becoming increasingly scarce, no longer enough to sustain his soul. In addition, the world is about to undergo a great change, so he can only be Reincarnation.
Among all the descendants of the Ye Clan, only Ye Chen possessed the aptitude for cultivation, which is why she took the initiative to run away to attract Ye Chen's attention, and was later taken back by Ye Chen.
Ancestor Ye Chen didn't possess much power; what he left Ye Chen were only a large number of cultivation techniques, a small amount of cultivation experience, and some memories that weren't particularly useful.
However, Ye Chen finished cultivating after only three minutes; the electricity he absorbed in half an hour was only enough for three minutes of cultivation.
That's really true; charging for half an hour provides only three minutes of use.
Three minutes isn't even enough to complete a Small Zhou Tian. Only when a Small Zhou Tian circulation is fully completed and the first True Qi is generated within the body can one be considered to have Entry of cultivation.
"A Zhou Tian takes at least one Shichen, which is two hours. That means if I only absorb household electricity, I would need to absorb electricity for at least 20 hours."
"Although the school doesn't charge for electricity, consuming it for an extended period will inevitably arouse suspicion from others."
"I wonder what our ancestors meant by the great changes in the world? The world is sealing itself off, and the Devil Clan is resurrecting—that doesn't sound like a good thing!"
Shaking his head, Ye Chen poked his finger at the power strip he had disassembled again.
He can still use electricity for two hours even though class starts at 2:30 pm.
After returning from evening self-study, I can absorb electricity for another four hours, so I can absorb electricity for six to seven hours a day. In a maximum of three days, I can store enough electricity for a Small Zhou Tian.
According to our ancestors, lightning-based techniques were the most difficult to cultivate in ancient times. After all, to master Lightning Arts in ancient times, one had to draw lightning into the body, which was extremely dangerous.
"But in modern times, electricity is the last thing we lack, making lightning-based cultivation techniques the easiest to master."
"Currently, household electricity is just right, but once we successfully Qi Refining, ordinary household electricity will probably not be enough, and the required amount of electricity will increase significantly."
"That's a problem. We either need to find a place that can reliably draw electricity, or we'll have to pay for electricity."
I'd rather not spend money on it.
He's a poor student; if he actually spent money to buy electricity, it would be a huge rip-off.
"Forget it, let's take it slow. Let's complete one Zhou Tian first and successfully cultivate the Lightning-Element True Yuan."
White River is a small river that encircles most of Dafeng City.
The river is not deep; at its deepest point, it is less than two meters deep. It is also not wide; at its widest point, it is about ten meters wide.
The White River flows around the city, emerging from the foot of Red Maple Mountain in the east.
Just at the foot of Red Maple Mountain, the river makes a bend, and at this bend, the White River forms a natural small lake.
Ling Yi's second Ling Feng, Ling Feng, and his younger sister, Ling Li, are fishing here right now.
The two sat on Little Ma, one tall and one short, both staring intently at the lake.
Between the two people was a barbecue grill with several sausages and a dozen or so lamb skewers on it.
Ling Feng would occasionally fiddle with it.
He then turned back and continued to stare at the lake.
"The sausages are almost ready!" Ling Feng said to Ling Li.
"I don't want grilled sausage, I want grilled fish," Ling Li pouted.
"Have a bite first, to tide you over. If you want grilled fish, you have to catch it first!"
After a pause, Ling Feng added, "That's strange. Last time I fished in this spot, I caught a mandarin fish, but why isn't there any movement today?"
"Is the bait not working today?"
"Dad, didn't you say that today's bait was a secret recipe you got from an old fishing buddy?"
"How about we go somewhere else?"
"Forget it, we've changed spots three times today, and we've been so busy baiting the area that we're just going to give up. If it works, great; if not, oh well."
As the two were talking, they didn't notice that black mist was slowly spreading outwards from the Lin Zhong behind them.
