Jiang Huo arrived quickly.
Baiyu rushed to the scene only after his injuries had mostly healed.
The bloody chaos on the ground made his expression freeze.
"Chang Long is dead, this is... an Assistant Priest from the Abyssal Ascetic Association." Looking at the corpse on the ground, Jiang Huo found it hard to believe, "Did you kill them alone?"
Baiyu shook his head while sipping cola, "I just took advantage of the situation, Ayong is dead."
Hearing this, Jiang Huo turned around and looked at the corpse that was only half intact not far away.
Ayong was an old member of the Wild Cannon Hunter Team, his strength was not weak among Tier Nine Martial Artists, and it was unexpected that he would sacrifice here.
Jiang Huo’s inner joy was greatly diminished.
Even though bounty hunters were a profession of licking blood on the knife edge, not knowing when they would die, seeing a companion’s corpse in person still gave him a sense of sorrow and lament.
Early the next morning.
Chang Long’s family was already controlled.
But they firmly claimed to not know about Chang Long’s collusion with the Abyssal Ascetic Association, so for a moment, nothing could be done to them.
The Bounty Hunter Association took away Chang Long and Charman’s bodies, highly valuing the material evidence Baiyu submitted, as well as the series of event speculations and conjectures.
Baiyu also received his deserved reward.
"Promoted to A Level Hunter?"
In the Bounty Hunter Association hall, Mina’s words surprised Baiyu.
"Yes." Mina’s face flushed with a camel shade, "According to the association investigation, the person killed was a high-ranking member of the Abyssal Ascetic Association, and also a Sequence Eight Deceiver. Sir, your strength and achievements have met the requirements for an A Level Hunter, and I will be your exclusive representative henceforth. A Level Hunters in Linjiang City are not many, you have gained some fame in the hunter circle now."
Baiyu was taken aback.
He simply wanted to expel demons and uphold justice, not seek fame.
Being low-profile was the true path.
"What are the benefits of becoming an A Level Hunter? If it’s just an empty title, forget it, please change me back to C Level."
"Of course, there are benefits."
Mina laughed and said, "Every month, A Level Hunters receive a five thousand yuan subsidy from the association, priority task pickup privilege, have exclusive representatives, and can seek help from the Bounty Hunter Association immediately if encountering danger during tasks.
A Level Hunters are the backbone of the association.
At the same time, they enjoy certain privileges and benefits in association-related industries.
This is your A Level Hunter certificate, no matter where you go, as long as there’s a Bounty Hunter Association, it will be your strongest support."
Mina bent down, her rabbit ears drooped, and handed over a gilded certificate.
At the top of the certificate are the four big characters "Hunter Association".
Below is the corresponding phrase "Face Toward Enemy".
The overall style has a post-apocalyptic cold humor feel, making Baiyu think that the person who designed the certificate was either nerdy or had a quirky taste.
Inside is a handsome photo and information.
There is only one entry for completed tasks: Successfully killed a high-ranking member of the Abyssal Ascetic Association, disrupted their plans in Linjiang City.
Being an A Level Hunter indeed has many conveniences.
The main thing is that every city has a Bounty Hunter Association, it’s a significant force.
Above A Level are S Level bounty hunters.
After S Level are the top seven Shadow Hunters, the strongest in the entire bounty hunter group.
However, the number one-ranked "Seven" among Shadow Hunters has been missing for a long time, to the point where, on various video platforms, when impressive Martial Artist fights appear, the barrage fills with 7777777...
It is said this is the audience’s way of commemorating the strongest hunter.
Linjiang City actually has an S Level hunter, all others are A Level, and he is at the bottom among them.
Just right for his low-profile style.
"Mina, if there’s any news about the Abyssal Ascetic Association or other strange events, let me know first."
Baiyu exchanged contact information with her and then left the association.
At the same time, he also declined Jiang Huo’s invitation to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
Golden Rainbow Academy.
Jiang Xi wore a ponytail, a set of kung fu short robes, her snow-white long legs exposed to the air, and a pair of green embroidered cloth shoes on her feet, standing in front of a wooden man stake, diligently practicing punches and refining her muscles and bones.
Yang Jinhua sat beside her, occasionally giving some pointers.
Baiyu just returned through the main entrance.
"Hey, hey, hey, hold on, next week is the official college entrance exam, the location is Linjiang First Middle School, just giving you a heads-up."
Yang Jinhua grabbed Baiyu, smiling.
Baiyu let out a long breath internally, nurturing troops for a thousand days to use them in a moment, now finally it’s time for the college entrance exam, currently, the things he could access were still too limited.
Calculating the time, it’s about right.
"Aren’t you even a bit nervous?" Yang Jinhua held Baiyu’s hand without letting go.
"Nervous for what?" Baiyu pulled his hand back, "Getting old, pay attention to your image."
Yang Jinhua was not at all embarrassed, instead he nodded, "Not bad, not bad, Tier Nine Martial Artist, Forged Skin Peak, Blood Qi Overflow three times. Achieving such a level in merely two weeks, your potential is far greater than I expected."
"Hey, isn’t probing others’ privacy not good?"
Baiyu puffed a smoke ring.
"This is not privacy, I can see it at a glance, plus I have your information.
Outstanding learning ability, strong spirit and will, adaptability also excellent.
Qiong Jiu sent you here, wanting me to refine you."
Yang Jinhua observed Baiyu, "Based on my observations, although your Blood Qi has increased, it’s clear that your understanding and utilization of Spirit Technique haven’t kept up, so you’re only able to exert five to six layers of your ten layers of combat power, the next direction...
To put it this way, a Martial Artist possesses power far beyond that of ordinary people.
It’s not just about Blood Qi.
The more critical aspect is ’Intent’.
Only Martial Artists who possess ’Intent’ can unleash true power.
When you reach the level of cultivating spirit, the ’Intent’ you condense will transform into True Martial Intent!"
Yang Jinhua’s long robe billowed, his right palm struck out.
The urgent ringing inside his body began, a virtual image of a winged serpentine long snake appeared around him, with electric light and thunder pulp wrapping around the snake body, constantly spreading around.
The tree trunk hit by Yang Jinhua’s palm left a charred palm print, the interior of the tree trunk was corroded layer by layer.
"This is Intent, Fist Intent, Sword Intent, etc., only by cultivating Intent can a martial artist unleash true power."
"This has nothing to do with the strength of a Martial Artist, mainly depends on understanding."
"Your next cultivation direction is to foster Intent, but I am not your Master, I can only give you a general reference method."
Yang Jinhua spoke at length.
Baiyu at this moment also recalled the scene last night.
At the time of the confrontation with Chang Long, when his Blood Qi was increased tenfold, holding a determined resolution to kill both of them, he seemed to inadvertently condense Fist Intent.
That roar of the ape was the manifestation of Fist Intent.
[Host’s understanding of Ancient Martial Arts of the Human Body deepens, acquired discipline knowledge points 300, stored in Ancient Martial Arts Discipline, Mystic level will increase to LV2 to gain.]
The Scholar Space sent a prompt.
This also confirmed Baiyu’s direction of thinking was not wrong.
The condensation of Intent requires a certain belief, persistence, and resolution in one’s heart.
