CHAPTER 51: CHAPTER 51: THE NEW BLADE, MO TING!

Second day.

Chenfeng Martial Arts Hall.

Fang Qingyu got up early, first taking a taxi to the bar, and then driving back to the martial arts hall.

"How did it feel hunting your first Life Ghost?"

As soon as he entered, Zheng Lin playfully looked at Fang Qingyu.

The space was large, with the sound of students practicing, so there was no need to worry about being overheard.

"Not bad, just that many things were different from what I imagined."

Fang Qingyu recalled for a moment.

Although the Life Ghost was disgusting, it actually didn’t leave a big impression.

Instead, the ’coffin’ and the act of hunting down a Life Ghost.

Left a deeper impression.

Zheng Lin’s lips curled at the corners, "Life Ghosts vary in form. It’s normal for many people to vomit when seeing a new Life Ghost for the first time. I didn’t expect you to fight one head-on."

"Uh, you knew?"

Fang Qingyu hadn’t expected his actions from yesterday to be known.

"The Commerce Association is essentially an outsourced institution of the Federation; all actions need to be reported, and recording devices are worn," Zheng Lin explained briefly.

"Also, you’re a hot commodity at the Divine Management Bureau now, with many people secretly watching you," Zheng Lin said with interest.

Fang Qingyu frowned slightly as he changed into his training clothes, "A hot commodity?"

"An Innate Martial Seed directly becoming a Martial Artist, joining the Divine Management Bureau is a certainty, so when one is born, all departments will vie for them."

"Oh... so which department are you and Lin Jiao in?"

Fang Qingyu asked thoughtfully.

"Dragon Spine Camp, Third Action Group."

"Then I’ll join Zheng Jiao’s group when the time comes."

Hearing this, Zheng Lin smiled broadly inside, feeling it was not in vain to care for this kid, and waved his hand.

"Alright then, you can practice on your own, let me know once you’ve decided which Observation Method to choose."

"Wait, Zheng Jiao, I’ve decided."

Fang Qingyu suddenly remembered this matter.

"Hmm, which one did you choose?"

"Wind and Thunder Instant Shadow Observation Method."

Among the two three-star Observation Methods, this one matched the early-stage Dragon and Tiger Force effect better.

It was the most suitable for disguise.

Zheng Lin nodded in approval.

"Not bad, it suits your style, and the strength is sufficient. I’ll bring it for you tomorrow."

"Thank you, Zheng Jiao."

Watching Zheng Jiao leave.

Fang Qingyu started his training for the day.

Thunder Slash and Baji Fist could be set aside for now.

The main targets today were Hidden Dragon Posture and Basic Boxing.

The progress of both skills had already surpassed halfway.

As the foundation for increasing attributes.

They needed to be practiced daily.

Fang Qingyu took half a step back and assumed the starting stance.

Morning light formed amber spots on the calluses of his knuckles.

First, he punched slowly, accelerating only when his fist was three inches from the steel surface.

The muscles in his forearm tightened like springs and then released, as his knuckles hit the steel plate with a dull thud.

Sweat dripped from his chin onto his collarbone.

By the third set, he switched the rhythm, alternating quick punches with his left and right hands.

The vapor from the repeatedly colliding sweat on his fists gradually cloaked the steel post in a white mist.

The bandages on his hand joints started to redden.

Each time he withdrew his fist, there was a faint smell of blood.

When the sun rose overhead.

The sweat-soaked vest clung to his back, outlining the clear contours of muscles with each twist of his spine.

[Your profession "Martial Arts Apprentice" experience +12]

[Your professional basic skill "Hidden Dragon Posture" experience +33]

[Your professional basic skill "Basic Boxing" experience +34]

As a Martial Arts Apprentice reaching level 3, the experience gain felt slightly slower.

Though the progress of the two foundational skills was still quite fast.

But once they reached level 4, the experience gain for Martial Arts Apprentice would likely pick up speed again.

By this time, it was already noon.

Most people had already left the venue.

Fang Qingyu took a shower and was intending to head to the club for a full treatment.

The phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, is this Mr. Fang?"

"Yes, who is this?"

Fang Qingyu asked, looking at the local number.

"I’m from the Purple Stone Commerce Association. The custom knife we made for you is now ready. Are you available now? I can deliver it to you."

"Oh, alright, then please come to Chenfeng Martial Arts Hall."

It’s been several days since the last meeting with Old Qiao and the others.

It was indeed about time it was completed.

Half an hour later.

Fang Qingyu stood inside the martial arts hall, lifting the lid of the Black Wood Box.

A slender, straight-edged Horizontal Blade lay quietly on a simple black silk satin.

The scabbard was entirely coated in matte black lacquer, with the sheath mouth edged in copper engraved with simple cloud and thunder patterns. The sword handle was wrapped in black cloth, with the spacing of each wrap precisely fitting the arc of human knuckles.

He used his thumb to push open the sheath.

The two characters carved near the hilt were first revealed.

[Mo Ting]!

The wave-like pattern formed by layered forging was faintly visible on the black blade, and a blood groove was also carved along the spine of the blade.

The blade was twenty-three inches long, three fingers wide, with the cutting area of the first third slightly concave.

This "Pelican Beak" design could ensure the strength of chopping while maintaining the smoothness of thrusting.

"Not bad."

Fang Qingyu examined all the details of the knife closely.

He was quite satisfied.

According to Old Qiao, this knife could perfectly conduct the special power of the Observation Method.

It could be used until breaking through to Martial Artist and changing it.

So it would probably accompany him for a long time.

He twirled the knife into a flower and sheathed it.

Fang Qingyu packed his things and first went to the club for a full treatment.

Then arrived at Rui Mansion before 4 PM.

"Hello, Mr. Fang."

The woman from yesterday, Housekeeper Chu, was waiting at the door, with a luxury sedan parked nearby.

They shook hands.

Housekeeper Chu pointed to the back seat.

"Miss is in the back; you’ll be responsible for accompanying her to classes at Haili University, and aside from prohibiting anyone from harming her, don’t let anyone approach her."

"Understood."

Fang Qingyu nodded.

"Good luck."

After watching surveillance, Housekeeper Chu had some confidence in Fang Qingyu.

Fang Qingyu thanked her, then opened the back seat and got in the car.

"Thank you for your trouble."

"It’s my duty."

The mission’s target, Lin Wanqing, was quite polite. After exchanging a nod of greeting with her, Fang Qingyu began observing his surroundings.

Neither spoke afterward.

One quietly read a book.

One vigilantly guarded the surroundings.

They safely reached the campus amidst the quiet atmosphere.

Lin Wanqing opened the car door and got out.

Fang Qingyu followed silently behind her.

At the same time, he carried Mo Ting on his back just in case.

The youthful atmosphere in the university campus was vibrant, with various pure outfits dazzling the eyes.

No one tried to approach Lin Wanqing along the way.

Fang Qingyu initially thought many people would pursue her...

Safely arriving at the classroom.

Fang Qingyu sat behind Lin Wanqing’s row.

Expecting today’s mission to be quite simple, just needing to wait until the time ends and possibly trigger the profession.

Having attended for just over half an hour.

Two people burst in through the door.

Swaggering in.

They didn’t pay any attention to the teacher on the podium.

Of course, the teacher also pretended not to see them.

It’s just...

Looking at the direction they were heading.

Fang Qingyu had to act.

Because their target was Lin Wanqing.

And one of them had a rather intriguing title...

It was white.

But called the Everfrost Follower!?
