Chapter 147 - The Nine Provinces, A True Powerhouse! (1/2)

...

After feeling the rapid growth of his cultivation, Ye Xiao was full of energy.

He read books and read them with all his might.

After getting up, Ye Xiao bought a mixed-grain pancake and a cup of yogurt. While drinking, he rushed to the library.

When he passed by the intersection of traffic lights, he met Gu Hai on duty.

Ye Xiao felt that the righteousness in his body was becoming more and more fervent!

Perhaps it was because he was protecting the people that a kind of great righteousness was gradually formed.

Now that Gu Hai also had it, Ye Xiao was very gratified.

One had to know that a year ago, Gu Hai was still a hooligan. All he did was run to the traffic light area and go wherever it was popular.

Now, he was protecting the safety of the people.

The most gratifying thing about a person was that he had managed to make a name for himself. It was not in vain when Ye Xiao went to find Old Lu to bail him out.

Moreover, his current cultivation had already advanced to Houtian fifth grade. It seemed that after joining the special training camp, his strength had improved greatly.

"Eh! Old Ye, going to work?"

Gu Hai greeted him first.

Ye Xiao nodded in response.

"Do you want to eat some breakfast?"

"No, I don't have an appetite."

"That's fine. However, why are you on duty here today?"

"Don't mention it. Recently, Jianghai city hasn't calmed down yet. Waves after waves, all sorts of troublesome things have been happening one after another.

"As a result, something happened again last night.

"A total of six men were in trouble. At the moment, the preliminary judgment is that it was done by the star beast. But we have no clue at all."

"There's nothing we can do about it. After going through seven stars alignment, it's inevitable that some fish will slip through the net. I'm going to go to work first. You go ahead."

"Wait a minute, Old Ye."

"What?"

"In the next two days, you'd better pay attention to your safety. That star beast might very well find you."

Ye Xiao revealed a puzzled expression.

"Why do you say that?"

Gu Hai's expression was solemn as he took a deep breath.

"The six who died were all handsome men!"

Ye Xiao was startled, but he immediately nodded and continued to walk toward the library.

All the dead were handsome men?

Could it be that the star beast had some unspeakable fetishes?

That was not a sensational matter.

There were all sorts of strange star beasts. There were even some that would fall in love with humans and give birth to children. Therefore, it was not surprising for such a thing to happen.

Ye Xiao used the Big Dipper's Grand Mystery to scan the entire Jianghai city, but he did not find any star beasts.

"Could it be that the other party is hiding?"

Forget it. He was still not sure if the other party was in the city. Shaking his head, Ye Xiao did not think anymore.

He decided to head to work first. Perhaps the other party has already left?

Arriving at the library, Yang Xi had already arrived before him. The entire area had been cleaned up last night, which made Ye Xiao quite satisfied. It seemed that Yang Xi was still a pretty good subordinate.

At that moment, she was practicing her strike art at the window.

Seeing that Ye Xiao had arrived, she immediately stopped what she was doing and greeted him.

"Hello, Supervisor."

Ye Xiao nodded and his gaze swept across her body.

It seemed that Yang Xi had arrived very early and had already been practicing her strike art for quite a while. There was a light drizzle on her skin and she was already drenched.

"The library is not a boxing ring, so you still have to pay attention to your appearance. It's fine for you to box, but you can't get all sweaty and get your clothes wet."

Yang Xi said with a serious expression,

"Sweating is the glory of a warrior. You don't sweat during training, and you have to bleed during battle."

"But you're not a warrior now. You're just a librarian."

Ye Xiao's words made Yang Xi lower her head in silence. She clenched her fists, and her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh of her palms.

Ye Xiao did not say anything more. Everyone had their own stories, so he was too lazy to ask.

Reading books and collecting technoques were more important to improving one's cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, a day's time quietly passed. Ye Xiao found another basic strike technique from the cultivation technique that Shaolin had sent over.

However, Ye Xiao was not reading books like before. When he practiced a cultivation technique, he would specifically look at which cultivation technique.

The books that he was reading now were more complicated.

When he was reading books and collecting cultivation techniques in the early stages, Ye Xiao's thoughts were very simple. He wanted to synthesize a few imperial techniques first so that he could first have a sufficiently powerful cultivation technique to use.

At that point, regardless of whether it was attack techniques, endurance techniques, or life-saving cultivation techniques, he already had them. For the rest, he was naturally not that nervous.

There was also a very important reason, and that was that Ye Xiao had fallen into a misunderstanding previously.

He was merely using the cultivation technique that he wanted to cultivate.

In reality, there were many cultivation techniques that were not as bad as he thought.

Take the palm technique that he synthesized that time, the Tathagata Divine Palm, for example.
