Hunting God Era

Chapter 65 One Step at a Time, Eat the Demon!

Pan Zhengyang exhaled another puff of smoke and pointed at Sun Shun, saying, "That old Sun, the head of the data section, is all that great. He can decide which industry to investigate and just do it. He can wipe out half of Ningjiang City's catering industry with a single sentence. But, you know..."

Sun Shun gave a wry smile: "This only applies to ordinary people, Director Pan. You've said all sorts of things."

"Master Li Ye is my good brother, he's my own nephew. If I didn't acknowledge a nephew who passed the third level of the imperial examination, would I be out of my mind?"

Pan Zhengyang laughed heartily, then pointed to himself, "Me, the director of the Ningjiang City Disinfection Bureau. I can kill whoever I want, and I can wipe out an entire family if I want to."

Sun Shun added, "The premise is that Director Pan can beat him."

"Yep!"

Pan Zhengyang laughed and said, "If I can beat them, I don't need to borrow this skin. If I can't beat them, this skin won't be that effective. Otherwise, why isn't the Ren family afraid of me?"

"Want power? No problem. The skin is yours. As long as you can keep these hot-blooded martial artists in check, you can be a local tyrant. If you can't, then don't blame others for not taking you seriously."

"Being a pest control worker is easy. It's about controlling demons. With so many modern methods, we can analyze so many demons' weaknesses. If your blood and energy can withstand it, you can deal with them. But this kind of pest control worker is just doing investigations and cooperating with intelligence operations. He's a qualified tool."

"But if you want to become a real pest control worker, you have to fight for it!"

Pan Zhengyang sighed, as if he had thought of something. "To be honest, unless something really happens, I really don't want you to come in like this. You're one of the top high school students in the country when it comes to passing three rounds of tests, and you're unmatched in this small place."

"Participating in a martial arts competition and getting a prestigious title... do you know what I was called back then?"

A hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes. "Back then, I was known as 'Ghost King Blade.' I was quite the star in college and very popular with the girls. You know, being sought after by many schools and then having a great college life was actually pretty good."

It's good, but Li Ye prefers power.

It's so awesome to cheat, and it's even more awesome to keep cheating!

Start enjoying the benefits sooner you get started.

"College life is great, but I prefer someone like you, Director Pan."

Li Ye laughed and said, "There's nothing wrong with being a student, but being a disinfection worker opens up a whole new world for me."

"Keep this momentum going. Let me make this clear first: the real world of martial arts is not the same as the playhouse you play at school."

Pan Zhengyang sighed, "It's so cruel that you might not be able to stay true to yourself. You need to be prepared."

Li Ye thought for a moment and asked, "For example, the Ren family?"

Pan Zhengyang scoffed: "Yes, for example, the Ren family. The Ren family, which can get me transferred, is not just a local bully, they're a local tyrant!"

If a local tiger can't defeat a dragon crossing the river, then let the dragon shift its focus and cross an even bigger river.

So what do I need to do?

Li Ye stubbed out his cigarette, stood up, pointed at himself to Pan Zhengyang, and said, "Now I can do it too, the Eight Dragons Gate, and I'm also a pretty knowledgeable data clerk. My parents say I'm good at both academics and martial arts, and I wholeheartedly agree. As for the big investigation, I guarantee I'll investigate more thoroughly than anyone else."

“You’ve already been transferred. What if that Ren Xu comes back? Even if I can handle it, my family might not. We can’t all leave together.” Li Ye laughed and said, “I don’t like it when someone makes a move that forces me to leave my hometown.”

According to Director Pan, the personnel from the pest control department seem to be incompetent.
Who knows what the other party will do after forcing Pan Zhengyang away? He may be a nobody in other people's eyes, but not everyone in their family is smart. If someone from above comes to cause trouble for him, he might have a hard time handling it given his current size.

Moreover, he does need to be a disinfection worker. Putting aside Pan Zhengyang's help, after breaking through to the second realm, does he not need to cultivate anymore?
What Li Ye needs most is to eliminate demons and monsters, especially those that are considered gods.

Even if you can't kill a god, there are other ways to improve yourself.

He always regretted that he could only hand over demon materials during his training. According to the way the authority was used, those things could be eaten directly after being roasted with fire or shaved with a knife.

These are just natural demons. What about those fully formed demons that possess the ability to avert disasters?

The nutrient solution contains dragon blood, which means that this kind of great demon can bring more blood and energy. You can't say that dragons are some kind of natural demon, can you?

The black threadworms produced by the little demon 'filthy worm' can bring a lot of qi and blood. Since you're going to eat them anyway, you might as well get it done in one go!
Eating demons is worse than eating meat!

It doesn't matter if you can't obtain power, these things can bring a lot of vital energy!

Even after he breaks through the barrier, he can continue eating!

At worst, I can leave a limb behind and consider it a satisfactory answer.

The answer is that he tore the demon to pieces!
"Your primary task now is to break through to the second realm. Don't get involved in this kind of thing at the Dragon Gate realm. If your qi and blood are not stable, one wrong move and you'll end up like your master."

Pan Zhengyang waved his hand and said to Sun Shun, "Old Sun, send the information to him. Take a look at the information during this time so you won't be caught off guard later. Li Ye, go to the mansion in three days. I'll make preparations for you."

Things can't be rushed.

With the biggest investor speaking, Li Ye had no choice but to comply.

After giving his notice, Li Ye left the disinfection bureau.

After he left, Sun Shuncai said, "Director Pan, do we really want Li Ye to go on stage now? He's still a minor, and he's been through so much."

"What's there to be afraid of? We were both brave in our youth, even going through fire and water. You were underage back then too, and I heard you still stepped up to help during the Ningjiang flood."

Pan Zhengyang shook his head and laughed, "You saw this kid too. He's probably always busy. He killed a demon and discovered a cult before becoming a martial artist. He was born to do this. People these days are all so listless. If this continues, the Extermination Bureau will really become just a tool. Old Sun, you should know that we're not on duty!"

"Giving that kid some room to grow is a way to help him develop. A second-realm martial artist who has broken through three barriers can do a lot!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Shun sighed, "He's getting old. Unlike you, Director Pan, a third-realm martial artist still has the will to fight. After all, Li Ye hasn't experienced a complete student life yet. Martial arts competitions in high school and internships in university are all helpful in stabilizing one's mindset. I'm afraid that if I suddenly raise him to such a high level, something bad might happen."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he added, "However, you're right. If things continue like this, he might not be able to grow. The Ren family even tried to transfer you away; they're determined to oppose us. If Ningjiang becomes a disaster, no one will escape."

"Hmph! He's obsessed with breaking through to a higher realm. The Painted Skin technique must be related to him! If all else fails, I'll take that old codger with me before I leave!"

A ruthless glint appeared in Pan Zhengyang's eyes. "I've never made a mistake once I've set my mind on something!"
