Hunting God Era

Chapter 15 Top-Tier Martial Arts (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Hello, the total is 253 yuan."

Liu Qingxia skillfully scanned and bagged the goods, allowing customers to pay one by one. Just as she was about to rest after all the customers at the checkout counter had paid, her phone received a message.

Looking down, she saw that she was being asked to go to the warehouse to sort the newly arrived goods.

Liu Qingxia left the counter and walked towards the warehouse, glancing at the supermarket's goods as she went, planning what ingredients she should buy tomorrow.

Although the plan to enroll her son in martial arts training has been put on hold, she can't skimp on the food supplies, especially during the summer vacation when her son has found someone to train with. She needs to take care of the logistics.

Let's buy some more expensive ingredients.
Just as she was thinking this, her phone rang again.

Liu Qingxia answered the phone, "Xiaoye, what's wrong?"

Then, she jolted awake, nearly dropping her phone, her voice trembling, "Really?"

"It's really broken?!"

In the maintenance office on the other side, Li Haihua excitedly stood up, attracting the attention of his nearby colleagues.

"Great! Great! I knew you were destined for both academics and martial arts! Excellent! Did you tell your mother? Great! Great!"

Li Haihua said "okay" several times, and after hanging up the phone, he couldn't suppress a smile.

A colleague joked, "Old Li, what great news is it?"

Li Haihua laughed heartily: "My son has broken through the dragon gate!"

Upon hearing this, his colleagues offered their congratulations.

Ordinary people like them don't have so many complicated struggles. Even if someone doesn't like them, they'll still be polite on the surface, and there's no real grudge between them.

In their minds, breaking through the Dragon Gate meant securing a stable job in advance, and wouldn't arouse envy.

Besides, some of the money Old Li borrowed a few days ago came from them.

"You have to treat us to a meal, Lao Li."

"Yes, such a great event deserves a few tables of food."

Listening to his colleague's words, Li Haihua waved his hand with a spirited air, not as a refusal, but as if no further words were needed.

……

Li Ye took a taxi to the disinfection station, which had a sign for the sanitation bureau, and went up to the third floor.

After telling his parents, he also sent a message to Pan Zhengyang, who told him to come over right now.

He knocked on the door, and heard a "come in" from inside. Li Ye pushed the door open and saw Pan Zhengyang answering a phone call.

It's not a cell phone, it's a landline phone on the desk.

"I understand. I'll issue the order as soon as the documents are available. There will be a thorough investigation. Okay, yes, I understand."

After he hung up the phone, he clicked his tongue again, "All industries related to martial arts in Ningjiang City are going to be strictly investigated. If you have related businesses at home, you can talk to them in advance."

Li Ye laughed and said, "Three generations of workers, no business genes."

"Perhaps your generation will benefit from your protection."

Pan Zhengyang joked, then looked Li Ye up and down, "You really mean 3 PM? Show me how you stimulate your Qi and blood."

Li Ye nodded, his whole body tensed, his blood and qi surged, and a faint halo or steam-like mist appeared on his body.

As the smoke billowed out, it pulsed rhythmically once.

The manifestations of the Dragon Gate Realm, and the essence of Qi and blood, can be seen to have pulsated several times once they are activated.

Li Ye is definitely a top-tier player.

However, when Pan Zhengyang first met him, he could tell that this guy's qi and blood were weak and not solidified; he was just an ordinary person who practiced martial arts.

"Damn, their senses are so accurate, how can there be such a talent among the preparatory students?"

Pan Zhengyang said with doubt, but immediately shook his head: "There are all kinds of birds in a big forest, it's not surprising."

There's no quantifiable standard for aptitude; otherwise, there wouldn't be a genius like Fu Yan who started learning martial arts at twenty-eight and broke through to the third realm.

Pan Zhengyang said, "Normally speaking, there is never a fixed time when one can break through Qi and Blood. One can break through through diligent practice, or one can break through simply by relying on guiding methods. So-called predictions and assessments are all based on experience and the strength of one's body."

"There are those who break through in two months, and many who break through in two days, but to be as precise as you, your control over your body and your sensitivity to qi and blood must be extremely strong. It's a very rare talent."

He gestured for Li Ye to sit down, tossed him a cigarette, and lit one for himself. "Let me ask you first, what are your plans for the future?"

Future plans.
Long ago, after learning about this world, Li Ye was full of ambition and wanted to stand at the pinnacle of martial arts.

Then, defeated by reality, he became content as long as his blood and qi could circulate.

Later, he realized he lacked the necessary qualifications and just wanted to live a decent life as an ordinary person. Now that he has power, he should have returned to his goal of standing at the pinnacle of martial arts, but he feels that one must progress step by step.

so.
"I want to kill a god."

This stunned Pan Zhengyang. He stared at Li Ye for a long time, and after confirming that he was not joking, he burst into laughter:
"Hahahaha! Demons who are given the name of gods are not so easy to kill!"

Li Ye laughed and said, "Maybe it will be easier for me."

"Good! That's ambitious!"

Pan Zhengyang laughed and said, "To kill a god, you need to have good martial arts skills. With your talent, you might be suitable for this martial art."

Once you reach the Dragon Gate Realm, you'll learn martial arts.

The martial arts school Li Ye previously attended taught the "Seventy-Two Styles of Thunderclap Kick" in Longmen Realm. In other words, his "Springing Leg" was the foundation of the Seventy-Two Styles of Thunderclap Kick.

Only martial arts can enable those at the Dragon Gate Realm to continue refining their Qi and blood, generating a surge of energy.

The martial arts curriculum in high school teaches the "Foundation Building Technique," which is universally applicable nationwide and emphasizes balance and harmony.

The martial arts school's techniques are more powerful and effective, but the tuition is also expensive.

Li Ye was planning to enter the martial arts department to choose foundational skills. He had authority, and circulating his qi and blood was no longer a problem for him. There was no need to spend money at the martial arts school. It wouldn't be too late to choose a new martial art when he got to university.

After all, the main purpose of the Dragon Gate Realm is to condense one's Qi and blood.

But judging from Pan Zhengyang's words now, he seems to believe that his current 'talent' is suited to a certain kind of martial art.

"You want to teach me martial arts?" Li Ye asked.

"Me? I'm not good at teaching people, but I'm good at killing people."

Pan Zhengyang looked at Li Ye and said, "But there is someone who can teach you a top-notch martial art. It's up to you whether you want to learn it or not."

Li Ye's eyes widened slightly. "Such a good thing can't possibly happen to me?"

He knew that martial arts also had different levels of intensity.

Even though both involve breaking through Qi and Blood, the level of achievement is definitely different. It's like having the same undergraduate degree in the past life, but can a third-tier university be the same as Tsinghua or Peking University?

"You'll definitely see benefits once you've mastered the skill."

Pan Zhengyang said, "I won't lie to you. The main reason is that this martial art is special. It is very suitable for someone like you with average talent who has attended a preparatory course, but it has strict, even abnormal, requirements for blood and qi perception."

"But once you've mastered the skill, very few people at your level will be your match. Let me put it this way, if I had encountered someone like that back in the day, I would have been utterly defeated."

Pan Zhengyang added, "I came from Dingwu."

Only members of the Seven Dragons Sect are qualified to apply to the top martial arts university.

Is it so powerful?

"Want money?"

"for free."

“Practice!”

Li Ye agreed readily, "Anyway, it's free, I'll give it a try."

Seeing that Li Ye agreed, Pan Zhengyang smiled and said, "That's right, let's give it a try first, it's okay if it doesn't work."

Pan Zhengyang, with a cigarette between his teeth, exhaled a puff of smoke, then, as if remembering something, said:

"Let's talk about something else. You mentioned wanting to join the Disinfection Bureau before, and now you can. The One Dragon Gate doesn't pollute much just by looking at the data. Interested in doing a part-time job there?"

Li Ye was taken aback, "No diploma?"

Pan Zhengyang rolled his eyes. "Why wouldn't I want to? There's an exam involved. Don't you know that every civil service exam has to be one? But here, martial arts level is the diploma. If you're interested, then it's settled. If you're just looking for a part-time job, then I won't let you take the exam."

"You'll also receive five salaries?" Li Ye asked.

"The data clerk only gets one salary. Since you're working part-time, we won't pay your social insurance and housing fund contributions, but we'll give you a raise. You don't need to come every day. We'll call you in when we need you, and that will be considered a reward for your helpful reporting."

As he spoke, he opened the drawer, took out a large bag of square cardboard boxes, and threw several new magazines onto the table.

"These are the bullets for the gun I gave you last time. I won't keep them for you. Go down and fill out a form, and you'll be officially hired."

Li Ye thanked him, took the bullets, put them in his backpack, and said goodbye.

After Li Ye left, Pan Zhengyang picked up his phone and made a call.

"Old Xu, do you want a disciple? If you do, just say so, and then come over here yourself."
