This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 87 - : Investigation

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Investigation

In the office, Hao Yi put down the handset and hung up the phone.

He turned to Li Fei and said, “Let’s go, to the training room.”

Li Fei looked at Hao Yi with a strange expression.

Someone had called Hao Yi just now, a woman, with a rather pleasant voice.

Of course, Li Fei didn’t mean to eavesdrop on someone else’s phone call, but as his realm increased, his hearing had also become better, so he vaguely overheard some of the content, like:

“…Elder brother, is that Green-faced Ghost you?”

...

“Elder brother, if you’re planning a big killing spree, remember to call me…”

“…Elder brother, you haven’t come to see me for so long…”

Right before the call ended, he clearly heard the woman’s annoyed voice on the other end:

“Hao Yi, you damn ghost!”

In short, there was quite a lot of information.

“Cough.”

Facing Li Fei’s gaze, Hao Yi’s face, unusually for him, turned red as he explained:

“An old friend, she likes to joke around.”

Then he stood up and said with a stern face to Li Fei:

“Let’s go, train!”

Li Fei chuckled to himself, then followed Hao Yi out of the office.

Although he had caused a sensation in both the underworld and the legitimate world of Xing City last night, he still showed up bright and early today to find Hao Yi for training.

The two quickly arrived at the training room where Hao Yi had already resumed his serious demeanor:

“You’ve already mastered the Rolling Thunder Style and Pushing Mountain Style saber techniques, now you can start training in something else.”

“Is the teacher going to teach me a new saber technique?”

Li Fei asked eagerly.

“No.”

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

But Hao Yi shook his head, “Teaching you saber techniques was just to lay a good foundation, but you shouldn’t focus on saber techniques going forward. The core of a martial artist will always be the Implant. Your combat system and martial art framework should all be built in conjunction with your own Implant.”

Li Fei nodded thoughtfully, “Please instruct me, teacher.”

“Your Steel Armor Implant grants you two extraordinary abilities: Overlord Body and Danger Perception. I think you should build your combat system around Danger Perception as the core,” Hao Yi said.

“Danger Perception?”

Li Fei had thought Hao Yi would tell him to rely on ‘Overlord Body’ for counter-defense, but he wasn’t expecting this.

“With Danger Perception, you can anticipate your enemy, not only for preemptive strikes but also to counter their moves, and even use ‘Overlord Body’ to set traps and fight defensively,” Hao Yi explained. “Your danger perception ability is strongest in ‘Overlord Body’ state, but even in your normal state, you still possess extraordinary perception, so if you build your combat system around Danger Perception, you will have a more sustained combat ability than most martial artists.”

Li Fei nodded, “I understand. What should I do?”

Hao Yi took out a piece of black cloth and two cotton balls he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed them to Li Fei:

“Blindfold your eyes with this cloth and plug your ears with the cotton. From now on, you can only rely on the perceptive ability given to you by the Steel Armor Implant to fight.”

“Okay.”

Li Fei complied, blindfolding his eyes and plugging his ears.

Having lost the most important visual and auditory senses for a martial artist, he inevitably felt nervous,

“Teacher, are we still using real knives for training?”

The answer was a flash of a blade.

Hao Yi’s knife struck down on his left arm!

During training, Li Fei always cut off his connection with the Myriad Blood Pearl to avoid being detected by Hao Yi as abnormal, and also to better train his steel armor implant.

So Hao Yi’s saber left a shallow wound on his left arm, from which blood seeped out.

“You’re using real force?”

Li Fei got a fright, hastily retreated, and adopted a defensive stance.

But as he retreated, his shoulder received another cut from Hao Yi’s blade.

Li Fei took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down quickly, and also controlled the steel armor implant within his body to “excite.”

“Got you!”

Li Fei sharply turned around, raising his knife.

Clang—

The clear sound of weapons clashing rang out in the training room, and Li Fei, without vision and hearing, blocked a saber strike from Hao Yi coming from the side.

Hao Yi, looking at Li Fei’s defensive posture, showed a satisfied smile, then continued attacking…

When Li Fei was undergoing new training in the Martial Arts Hall, the powers of Xing City were busily searching for him.

Inspection Bureau.

Someone had come forward just last night to report, claiming that they had witnessed someone killing the Third-Level Main Judge Feng Zhenshan of the Court of Judicial Review.

Upon receiving the news, Inspector General Wu Yihua rushed to the Inspection Bureau to work overtime and called over a group of senior officials, ordering a thorough investigation of the case.

The informer illustrated the appearance of the murderer he saw, and someone in the Inspection Bureau “suddenly realized” after seeing the drawing of the Evil Ghost Mask, claiming this person was the recently famous Heavenly Level boxer from Qingyuan Fist Village.

Thus, Wu Yihua named Li Lei to lead a team personally, taking officers and rushing to Qingyuan Fist Village overnight.

Qingyuan Fist Village informed the Inspection Bureau that the Green-faced Ghost had injured someone in the village tonight and had fled, so Li Lei followed the lead to continue the search.

Along the way, “enthusiastic citizens” proactively offered clues to the Inspection Bureau staff, saying they had observed where the Green-faced Ghost ran off to.

That was all well and good, but then Li Lei was awaiting people from both the Zhi Ge Court and the Righteous Court!

Only at that moment did Li Lei realize the severity of the situation.

That night, the Inspection Bureau spread out a large number of people to search in Qingyuan District, and there were also many local “enthusiastic citizens” providing them with clues and even helping them search.

Moreover, the Tiger Saber Gang had sent the corpse of Zong Guang over, allowing the Mage from the Righteous Court to use it as a medium to cast magic in search of the Green-faced Ghost’s whereabouts.

At this time, not more than three hours had passed since the Green-faced Ghost killed Zong Guang, which was still within the effective period for search-related magic.

But due to a torrential rain, the magic was greatly affected, and in the end, the Mage from the Righteous Court could only lock down a rough area.

Consequently, that night, the people from the Inspection Bureau and the Zhi Ge Court sealed off the area and began house-to-house searches.

The Tiger Saber Gang members were guarding the outskirts, ready to act at any moment.

Busy till the next morning, when Li Fei went to the Martial Arts Hall for training, one of Li Lei’s Inspectors discovered important clues:

“Captain, we’ve found the murder weapon and clothes left by the murderer!”

Li Lei hurriedly led his team there.

The items were found in an abandoned shabby house that had been deserted for many years, including a steel knife, a black martial robe torn to shreds, and lastly, an anti-stabbing garment that had been chopped into pieces.

All these items were stained with fresh blood.

Li Lei put on gloves, examined these items carefully, and pondered:

“Completely shredding the clothes is to prevent others from identifying the distribution of wounds on them and to ascertain which part of the body was injured. The anti-stabbing garment being chopped into pieces serves the same purpose. In this way, we can’t obtain any effective features of this person. This person is either very meticulous or an experienced criminal offender.”

With a preliminary judgment in his mind, he felt this case was a bit tricky.

The murderer was not only strong but also had a certain ability to counter surveillance, which made things difficult.

Luckily, the Mage from the Righteous Court arrived here swiftly, and based on the items left behind, they should be able to find some clues.

“Go and ask the Mage from the Righteous Court to come over.”

Li Lei stood up and ordered.
