Pei Jinye walked into the school gates with a dark expression on his face.
He immediately bumped into Ji Wutian.
“Old Pei–”
Ji Wutian greeted the people beside him and then jogged over to Pei Jinye, while those behind him glanced at Pei Jinye and then looked away.
“Is that Pei Jinye?”
“He doesn’t seem much different…”
“I’ve heard his martial arts talent is pretty good.”
“But he’s not from the Body Technique System, is he?”
“No.”
“That’s too bad…”
“Coming from a small city, it’s impressive that he’s made it this far.”
“Right… something happened again last night…”
The group walked away, their conversation naturally shifting from Pei Jinye to the incident that had occurred the previous night.
…
“Did I hear that the Investigation Team was called out yesterday? With the look on your face… You didn’t go as well, did you?” Ji Wutian asked with some surprise after sizing him up.
Pei Jinye nodded.
“Amazing, I heard even Eighth Ranks were mobilized last night.” Ji Wutian asked curiously, “You alright?”
“I’m fine, luckily still alive.”
“…must’ve been the Sea Ghost, right? It’s really unexpected, those guys have some serious guts to hide right in Dragon City.”
Ji Wutian seemed very interested in last night’s events.
Pei Jinye chatted with him for a bit.
After reaching the classroom.
Liu Limin and Cao Yingjun both gathered around, as Pei Jinye had not returned all of the previous night, the two were quite concerned, even though they had messaged him in the evening.
…
“Pei Jinye, come to my office after class.”
Lin Xiuxian suddenly called out from the doorway.
Ji Wutian and the others immediately turned their attention to Pei Jinye.
“Holy shit, what’s Old Lin up to?”
Pei Jinye chuckled, “Don’t worry about it.”
“Nothing’s wrong, right?” Ji Yuyan also asked.
Pei Jinye shook his head: “I’m fine.”
Seeing he was so relaxed, Ji Yuyan didn’t suspect more, and whispered, “By the way, our company has started hiring today.”
“That fast?”
“Is it fast? I feel it’s slow; I can’t wait for our company to become one of the world’s top 500.”
Hearing this, Pei Jinye couldn’t help but grin.
…
After class.
Pei Jinye headed to Lin Xiuxian’s office.
As he had thought.
The authorities wanted to start an investigation regarding last night’s incident.
And as he had predicted, he was not under any suspicion.
The surveillance at the junction captured Pei Jinye’s two encounters with the Sea Ghost.
Once before and after a blind corner, where Pei Jinye fiercely counterattacked, killing his opponent, already injured at that point.
The second time was when Liu Chihu appeared, and Pei Jinye was subjected to the other’s mocking assault.
Both videos were clear.
Pei Jinye had been attacked by Sea Ghost members.
As for Liu Chihu not making a move on Pei Jinye, it was related to the main forces arriving…
After the Investigation Team members left.
Lin Xiuxian looked at Pei Jinye, “Don’t think too much about this matter, they are just following protocol.”
“I understand.”
“Still,” said Lin Xiuxian suddenly, “haven’t you been downplaying your skills at school? From the footage, your attacks were pretty strong.”
Pei Jinye smiled wryly, “In a life-or-death crisis, without that kind of pressure, I couldn’t have shown such strength. Too bad, actually, my spear techniques are very strong, but I couldn’t demonstrate much of my power. It’s a pity.”
Lin Xiuxian pulled at his mouth corner, “Spear techniques…”
…
Outside Dragon City Martial Arts University.
Two members of the Investigation Team got into their car and received a call as soon as they did so.
“Yes, we’ve just come out… His attitude was quite cooperative, no resistance whatsoever… Yes, the lie detector showed no anomalies… We’re heading back now.”
The sedan drove away.
Across from the university entrance, in a coffee shop.
Murong Jing was holding his sunglasses, thoughtfully watching the Investigation Team members depart.
After a brief pause.
He slowly said, “Connect me to King Zhou Wen.”
Then he said, “Remove the surveillance on Pei Jinye.”
King Zhou Wen asked, “Are you sure?”
“Confirmed.”
Murong Jing lowered his gaze, looking at the coffee in front of him, “No wonder the agency wanted to recruit this kid initially, there’s some fortune attached to him.”
“Since there’s no issue, there’s no need to be overly aggressive; better not to damage the amicable relations.”
The voice of King Zhou Wen sounded, “Alright, sir. Do you have any other instructions?”
“Proceed with the normal proceedings for last night’s involved personnel.”
“Understood, sir.”
It wasn’t long before.
Murong Jing got up and left.
…
…
In the dormitory.
Pei Jinye silently withdrew his gaze.
“Brother Pei, going to spar this afternoon?”
“Sure.”
…
At three in the afternoon.
After finishing a battle with Liu Limin and the others, Pei Jinye trained alone.
Having had consecutive bouts against skilled opponents, he naturally gained a much deeper understanding of how to utilize his abilities.
“Technique…”
“Martial Arts…”
“Elemental Power…”
“Transcendent…”
The combination of these four could utterly unleash different levels of lethality.
“If I were to use them all, it would require very high Attribute Points… and the consumption would be extreme.”
This was something that Pei Jinye had deeply realized during his fight with the Black Wing Angel.
“Devour’s too many memories, each integration of Cultivation Technique needs a place… At school, I’m too noticeable and might draw the attention of those stronger entities.”

“Perhaps it’s time to establish a gathering place outside.”
With recent strict inspections in Dragon City, it was inconvenient for Pei Jinye to travel back and forth frequently, risk of exposure was too high.
Training in Wanda Country would require using the power of the Flame God’s Coffin…
That was also problematic.
“I’m still too weak, otherwise I’d just wipe out Star Ring and avoid all these troubles.”
