Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

Chapter 174 I'm Here to Fry Fish
Zhao Zhiyi is a master of the fourth level of the Ascension Realm and a veteran master of the Dongji Kingdom. At this moment, he has the look of coming to call for punishment. He is truly awe-inspiring and high-handed.

A majestic figure descended from the sky and landed in front of Ye Qingzhou.

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou was safe and sound, Zhao Zhiyi was slightly surprised, and then he felt inexplicably uneasy. This was a sudden impulse that was warning him.

As for the reason for the warning, it is not complicated.

A master-level martial artist has such energy that it penetrates heaven and earth. After his death, he will naturally disperse a portion of his essence, energy, and spirit between heaven and earth, leaving behind various traces.

Zhao Zhiyi felt this trace and subconsciously sensed a certain crisis.

Ye Qingzhou had known about Zhao Zhiyi's arrival, but at this moment he was too lazy to stand up and salute. He still sat on the ground with his eyes closed, practicing martial arts, absorbing and refining the power of the dragon veins underground.

"Are you talking about Li Yaoping? I forgot where he was buried. How about you dig along the dragon vein?"

This casual tone was undoubtedly provoking Zhao Zhiyi's anger.

"Ye Qingzhou! How dare you kill a martial arts master?"

"People die when they are killed. What's so strange about that?"

"Do you know what you are doing!"

Zhao Zhiyi was extremely furious at this moment. Although secretly suppressing martial arts families was a national policy, what the government needed was a balance, not direct physical annihilation.

After all, at this time, martial arts families are still an important force in the martial arts world of Dongji Country. Many dangerous secret caves and secret realms are suppressed and defended by masters from martial arts families. This keeps the situation stable and allows society to run in an orderly manner instead of chaos.

If we rashly wipe out all the martial arts families, who will be sent to guard these dangerous places?
By then, the martial arts associations in various places will be exhausted and the slightest mistake may result in the deaths and injuries of millions of people, causing shock to the whole country and unrest in the world.

What's more, can all the martial arts families be destroyed?

If the fundamental system of private ownership does not change, the civilian martial artists who grow up today will establish new martial arts families in the future.

Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of long-term stability, balance is the real long-term solution.

What Zhao Zhiyi needs most at this moment is the balance of the situation, not the rapid demise of all martial arts families within Hunan Province.

This was also the reason why Zhao Zhiyi yelled at Ye Qingzhou. He was obviously blaming him for not knowing the seriousness of the matter and acting recklessly.

However, Ye Qingzhou didn't think so: "Of course I knew what I was doing. Li Yaoping wanted to kill me, so I killed him in self-defense. According to the rules of the martial arts world, this is reasonable and legal. Why, President Zhao, do you have a different opinion? Do you have any objection to the laws of Dongji Country?"

Ye Qingzhou finished his exercise and exhaled a breath of foul air. He stood up suddenly, opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Zhiyi coldly, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "President Zhao, you came too late. If you really want to save people, please come earlier next time."

"Ye Qingzhou, do you know that by doing this, you are weakening the combat power of our human race?"

Facing Ye Qingzhou's ridicule, Zhao Zhiyi's face turned purple at this moment, and he was furious: "You are so reckless and disregard the overall situation. Do you really think I can't deal with you?"

"So, what President Zhao means is that when Li Yaoping comes to kill me, it doesn't count as weakening the human race's combat power? And I shouldn't resist, but just wait to die?"

Ye Qingzhou scoffed at Zhao Zhiyi's words.

When someone asks you to consider the overall situation, you yourself are definitely not in this overall situation.

If we really have to talk about reckless behavior, it was Li Yaoping and the Liancheng Li family who were acting recklessly. How can we blame Ye Qingzhou?

Let Li Yaoping go this time, but what about next time?

Will he wait for the Li family in Liancheng to spend money, ask others for help, and then bring all the family members to push the blame on him?

Later, with Yingyue around, Ye Qingzhou was not afraid of being besieged, but why should a good person be pointed at with a gun?
In Ye Qingzhou's opinion, Li Yaoping wanted to kill him, and he had already done so, so it was only natural for him to be killed by him.

As for Li Yaoping’s identity and achievements?
None of my business!

When Zhao Zhi saw that Ye Qingzhou not only did not repent but also contradicted him, he became even angrier.

"Ye Qingzhou, don't think that you can be arrogant and lawless just because you have the support of the God of Fortune and the Godly General Qinglong. And don't think that you have done a perfect job in killing people to silence them. Li Jianen once called for help, and I can use this as an excuse to arrest you and investigate."

"What President Zhao meant was that you received the call for help but didn't come to rescue him in the first place, so Li Yaoping's murder is your fault. If you had come earlier, he might not have died."

"you!"

Zhao Zhiyi knew he had said something wrong, but then he turned his face away and stopped talking about it. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "No matter what, you shouldn't have killed someone. This is too much!"

"Too much?"

Ye Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Zhao Zhiyi with a mocking look on his face: "Then what do you think I should do to avoid being guilty?"

"You can just hand Li Yaoping over to our Wushu Association for punishment. You shouldn't resort to lynching."

"May I ask how the Martial Arts Association plans to deal with this? Make him drink three glasses of wine as punishment, and then laugh it off and pretend nothing happened?"

"You are brave!"

"Why, can't I ask?"

The two refused to give in to each other and the atmosphere became tense.

"President Zhao."

Liu Yiming had arrived at Longhua Mountain at some point and appeared beside Ye Qingzhou.

Obviously, he was the reinforcement that Xu Yinchuan had found. This time, he came here to represent the Xingcheng Liu family and the Linjiang Xu family to support Ye Qingzhou.

When Zhao Zhiyi saw Liu Yiming's arrival, he understood that the matter had to end here. With the Xu family and the Liu family stepping in, even he could not cover up the matter and bypass the rules to deal with Ye Qingzhou.

But before leaving, Zhao Zhiyi looked at Ye Qingzhou deeply and said, "I don't want this kind of thing to happen again."

Seeing Zhao Zhiyi finally leave, Liu Yiming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to fight with a martial arts master who had been famous for many years.

Afterwards, Liu Yiming looked at Ye Qingzhou with an unbelievable expression, his expression was quite complicated, and finally asked: "Did you really kill Li Yaoping?"

Ye Qingzhou quickly emphasized: "What do you mean by murder? Under the circumstances at that time, my actions were justified self-defense. He brought people to surround and kill me, so I had no choice but to kill them."

"..."

Liu Yiming suddenly felt suffocated. He originally thought that he was already a genius since he had reached the master level at the age of 25.

As a result, he encountered a monster like Ye Qingzhou. At the age of 17, he was surrounded and killed by a group of people led by a martial arts master. In the end, it was the martial arts master's side that died, and maybe several professional martial artists were also killed?

Is this reasonable?

After being treated like this by Ye Qingzhou, Liu Yiming suddenly felt that his identity as a martial arts master seemed very shameful.

Finally, Liu Yiming could only say with deep emotion: "I'm glad you're okay."

"Not only am I fine, I feel great."

At this moment, the five energies in Ye Qingzhou's body are constantly rotating, and his five internal organs are becoming stronger and stronger. Once the internal organs and blood transfusion are completed, the power of his second gear will be even greater, and the upper limit of his super-speed will continue to be raised.

…………

clang clang ~
In the cold winter, Ye Qingzhou was busy lifting iron in his own yard. He swung his fists all over the sky and forged the sword blank on the iron felt.

Every time you tap, blessings come to your heart.

Every time he struck, the force penetrated the spine of the sword.

Ye Qingzhou's skills, which had been honed over and over again, had finally reached perfection. His skills were flawless, and could not be changed or improved upon. He had exhausted human power and reached the limit.

Under the tempering that reached perfection, the divine gold, black iron and golden flame stone used as forging materials produced a wonderful chemical reaction.

Not only do their original material properties not hinder each other, but they are perfectly combined. In addition to the original three major properties of true qi resonance, attack burst, and indestructibility, an additional weapon characteristic is added.

Ye Qingzhou took the masterpiece he had made himself in his hands, stroked the thick and tough sword spine, and smiled at Yingyue who was playing games at home, saying, "Come, try the sword with me!"

Yingyue put down the handle and looked at the nearly two-meter-long heavy sword in Ye Qingzhou's hand. She was also quite surprised: "This should be the first top-grade weapon that you have successfully made, right?"

"good."

Ye Qingzhou looked at the heavy sword in his hand and became more and more satisfied. Then he waved to Yingyue and said, "Let's go find a place to test the power of this sword." Then the two of them jumped up, rode the wind and air, came to the suburbs, and stopped at the bank of Xiaoshui River.

Although it was freezing cold, there were still many fishermen gathered by the river.

They wore thick coats, set up tents, and braved the cold wind, but still insisted on feeding the fish in the river, fearing that the fish would starve and become thin in the winter.

Despite their enthusiasm, the cost-effectiveness of fishing is actually very low. Even if you feed 100 kilograms of bait, you may not be able to catch a few kilograms of fish.

But anglers still enjoy it so much that in some rivers in Dongji Country, even during the fishing moratorium, only fishing is prohibited, but fishing by one person with a single rod is not prohibited.

After all, for fish, if they are fed large amounts of food every day but only a few unlucky ones in the group are caught occasionally, this behavior of humans is no different from a gift, and they can be called gods among fish!
Ye Qingzhou brought Yingyue to the river and was surprised to find that among the fishermen wrapped tightly by the river was his class teacher Zhu Hanwen.

"Old class?"

"Ye Qingzhou?"

Zhu Hanwen's nose was full of snot bubbles due to the cold, but he still stayed at his post. He was obviously a veteran fisherman.

After seeing Ye Qingzhou, he was quite happy and introduced him to the fishing friends next to him, "Hey, this is my student, number one on the Hidden Dragon List of 'World Martial Arts Forum', and he just won the Phoenix Cup Martial Arts League Championship in our Hunan Province not long ago."

"awesome!"

“Young people have a bright future!”

Many fishermen looked at Zhu Hanwen with envy. With such a student, would he still have to worry about the rest of his life?
I'm afraid you won't be able to get all the bonuses?
Zhu Hanwen asked cheerfully, "Ye Qingzhou, are you here to fish too?"

Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "I'm here to fry fish."

"what?"

Zhu Hanwen looked stunned.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, he saw Ye Qingzhou looking at Yingyue: "Hit me with your palm, just lightly, use all your strength."

"Yes, sir."

Yingyue was wearing jeans that fit her waist tightly and a red and white striped sweater. She had delicate makeup and was incredibly beautiful. Her every glance and smile had a captivating charm.

It was not until this time that Zhu Hanwen and the others noticed that there was a woman following Ye Qingzhou, a peerless beauty so beautiful that she could kill people.

Before this, Yingyue restrained her aura and, relying on her Grandmaster level, became one with the heaven and earth.

If she didn't speak, Zhu Hanwen and others would not be able to detect her presence at all.

At this moment, Yingyue raised her white and delicate palms, like a finely carved jade, which was unforgettable under the winter sunshine.

But this palm, so delicate that it seemed like it could squeeze out water, only needed a slight clap to cause a strong wind to blow around, stirring up a terrifying air current.

Zhu Hanwen's legs instinctively went weak, as if he was facing a natural disaster, and he was horrified: "What the hell is this called a power?"

Dang~
The palm fell "gently" on the big sword, but the sound it made was deafening, as if two trains at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour suddenly collided.

If Ye Qingzhou and Yingyue had not cleverly restrained the overwhelming sound and the aftermath of the shockwaves, Zhu Hanwen and others would have been shaken into pieces of blood and flesh.

"Yingyue, your palm skills have improved again."

Ye Qingzhou used the sword in his hand to firmly withstand Yingyue's palm.

Yingyue was praised by Ye Qingzhou, and she smiled, but then she was surprised: "My dear, the sword in your hand can actually absorb my palm power?"

It was not difficult for Ye Qingzhou to take this palm strike. What really surprised Yingyue was that her palm seemed to hit a ball of cotton at this moment, and the force exerted was like a drop in the ocean.

"Haha, this is the special feature of this sword, look at my super shock slash!"

Ye Qingzhou laughed loudly, then turned towards the direction of Xiaoshui and swung the sword in his hand violently.

The big sword that absorbed Yingyue's palm power was like an angry dragon roaring to the sky. The sword was slashed out, and the red sword energy hit the river water, making a loud bang.

A large vacuum area was blown up on the water surface, and the river water flowed back to form a huge whirlpool, followed by countless fish, shrimps and crabs falling from the sky with splashes of water.

"This sword can absorb and transform the opponent's attacks, storing them in the blade. Once it is slashed out, it will be like the roar of a red dragon, shaking the earth and the sky. In this case, why not name it Red Roar?"

Holding the Chihou Sword in his hand, Ye Qingzhou was in a good mood.

This was the first top-grade sword he made with his own hands. Although it was far inferior to the peerless divine weapon, the joy brought by its creation was still indescribable.

"After learning the sword-making techniques in the Heavenly Forging Scripture, my understanding of swordsmanship seems to have improved. It seems that there is really no end to the path of martial arts."

Ye Qingzhou was very proud and put the Red Roar Sword back into the scabbard. After saying goodbye to Zhu Hanwen, he turned and left.

Zhu Hanwen stood there in a daze for a long time, and then he cursed with a smile: "This kid, is he really here to fry fish?"

He looked at the fish, shrimps and crabs all over the ground, and then began to tacitly pick out a few of the largest ones and took them away as trophies. What fish fried by students?

It was obvious that he caught it himself!
No one else knows anyway!

When several anglers nearby saw this, they also joined in. Some picked up fish, some took photos. They had been empty-handed for several days, and this time they had to show off their skills!

As for fried fish?

Who fried the fish?

did not see it!
Freeze said!
…………

Xingcheng, Liu’s mansion.

Liu Dingjian, who received the Red Roar Sword, really couldn't let go of his new weapon.

When Liu Yiming and Liu Haochi heard about this, they were also very surprised: "You said that this top-grade sword was made by Ye Qingzhou himself?"

"Well, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it is an indisputable fact that Ye Qingzhou obtained the inheritance of Emperor Yan, and there is no need for him to lie about such a thing."

Liu Dingjian stroked the blade of the Red Howl Sword. The unique burning sensation of the Golden Flame Stone made him feel excited. "It actually has four characteristics. It really deserves to be a top-grade famous sword."

As one of the two most prestigious sword-making families in Hunan Province, the Liu family of Xingcheng is naturally very familiar with the evaluation of famous swords.

A high-quality sword made by a skilled craftsman usually only has one characteristic, such as swiftness, sharpness, and agility, which are some of the most popular characteristics that swordsmen love.

Swiftness can make the sword draw faster, sharpness can enhance the armor-piercing effect, and as for agility, it can make the sword body lighter, allowing sword moves to be more varied.

Why can a good-quality sword only have one characteristic and cannot have multiple characteristics?

Because Liang Gong's ability is limited, he is unable to bring out the characteristics of various forging materials to their full potential. Therefore, he can only make choices through combinations and arrangements, sacrificing the characteristics of some materials in exchange for the enhancement of the characteristics of other materials.

When it comes to the craftsman level, with the improvement of forging skills and a deeper understanding of forging materials, the craftsman is able to create a fine sword with two characteristics.

For example, the Xuanjian Sword that Ye Qingzhou had used before had both the characteristics of speed and sharpness, and was obviously made by a senior craftsman from the Mingjian Group.

In addition, above the fine products, there are rare products and the best products.

Among them, the precious and famous swords have three characteristics.

The best famous sword has four characteristics. Ye Qingzhou is now a true master.

Although a master craftsman is only one level higher than a famous craftsman, in fact the gap between the two is huge, a world of difference.

Because a famous craftsman only brings out the characteristics of all casting materials and prevents them from interfering with each other, but a master craftsman is different.

Religion not only requires perfecting the original material properties of casting materials, but also requires combining the three materials to create a new property that did not exist originally.

And this new feature cannot conflict or offset the original features, but must fit perfectly.

This requires extremely strict skills from the swordsmith, and often requires the inspiration of the swordsmith. Only with a flash of inspiration can a truly unique and top-quality sword be created.

There is no doubt that the Chihou Sword in Liu Dingjian's hand is such a rare masterpiece.
