Chapter 195. Jiang Feng Exposes the Evidence, and Zhou Yu Is Arrested
Jiang Yichen looked at the delayed Slacking Choice prompt from the system in front of him and could not help smiling.
Now that he had both an Intermediate Gift Pack and a High-level Slacker Gift Pack, what was there to wait for? He might as well open them both at once!
“System, open the gift packs,” he said inwardly.
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: ten Eighth-Rank Blood-Burning Talismans, and one billion in funds.]
[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: 1 Nine Revolutions Soul-Reviving Pill, and 100,000 Top-grade Heavenly Spirit Pills.]
Jiang Yichen glanced over the rewards from the two gift packs. The Intermediate Gift Pack was as stingy as ever.
Only the Eighth-Rank talismans were decent.
His attention focused mainly on what had come out of the High-level Slacker Gift Pack, and he opened the pill description.
[Nine Revolutions Soul-Reviving Pill: Refined through nine revolutions from the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, it can repair meridians, nourish the Dantian, and restore damaged or withered meridians.]
When he saw that description, the corners of Jiang Yichen’s lips lifted.
As expected of the Slacking System. It truly never let its host worry, not even a little.
He had only just been thinking that he did not have any divine treasure capable of repairing meridians, and now one had appeared.
Amazing!
Jiang Yichen silently gave the system a thumbs-up, then opened the description for the Heavenly Spirit Pill.
One hundred thousand of them. At a glance, it was obvious this was no ordinary item. So it was doing wholesale again, was it?
[Heavenly Spirit Pill (Top-grade): Refined from ingredients such as Heavenly Spirit Fruit and the roots of a Dao-Comprehension Tea Tree, this is a top-tier pill that allows high-level martial artists to refine and improve their innate talent. A single pill is enough to elevate a worthless aptitude to the level of a genius.
Note: The first pill has the best effect. The effect of each subsequent pill decreases in turn.]
Jiang Yichen had never heard of this pill in either of his two lives, and its effect was almost absurdly heaven-defying.
One pill could turn trash into a genius. Then with a hundred pills, or a thousand, or ten thousand, wouldn’t that directly create an unparalleled supreme prodigy?
Even if the effects diminished, sheer quantity alone could still pile the improvement higher and higher.
Jiang Yichen nodded and swept his gaze across Su Linyu and Tang Long.
Su Linyu’s talent was already Supreme-grade, so there was no need to improve it further.
But Tang Long and Chu Xingchen could give it a try.
After all, the stronger the team members were, the less there was for the team leader to do. Then he could comfortably enjoy life.
Jiang Yichen raised a brow, a smile lingering at the corner of his lips.
“Brother Yichen, you’re seriously bold. You actually dared to withdraw from the exercise right in front of Tyrant Qin.”
At that moment, Tang Long gave him a thumbs-up, though anxiety was hidden in his eyes. “Let’s go back. I want to see Old Chu.”
Su Linyu looked at him as well.
Jiang Yichen nodded. “Relax.”
Now that he had a pill that could repair meridians, his mood had returned to its usual ease.
He slowly raised a hand, and the power of space gathered. In the next instant, all three of them vanished from where they stood.
...
East China First Military District.
“You want to take leave? Why?”
In the office, Qin Feng looked at the leave slip Jiang Feng had handed over, confusion appearing on his face.
Jiang Feng, whose eyes were faintly red and still marked with tear stains, was silent for a while before saying, “Chu Xingchen’s meridians are severely damaged. I want to find something that can repair them.”
Qin Feng frowned slowly when he heard that. “Things that can repair meridians are not easy to find. They usually only appear in dangerous ruins full of deadly risks.”
“But don’t worry. I’ve already submitted a request to Commander Xu. Huaxia Headquarters will send over medicine that can slowly repair meridians.”
Jiang Feng’s eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly asked, “Then can it completely restore Chu Xingchen’s meridians?”
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. “Given Chu Xingchen’s current condition, he would need to take meridian-repairing medicine for at least five years before he could barely continue cultivating.”
Five years!
The light in Jiang Feng’s eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head as his arms trembled.
Qin Feng felt just as miserable. Chu Xingchen might not compare to peerless prodigies like Jiang Yichen and Su Linyu, but with his talent and his willingness to work hard, becoming a Martial God in the future was not impossible.
A seed of the Martial God, ruined by assassins.
At that thought, Qin Feng’s eyes turned icy. He lifted his gaze and fixed it on Jiang Feng.
“Jiang Feng, I heard from the Fifth Group that the assassins were targeting you. Give me a reasonable explanation.”
Jiang Feng’s whole body stiffened, and he remained silent for a long time. The atmosphere in the office grew stiflingly heavy.
“Before I say anything, Instructor Qin, you have to promise me one thing,” Jiang Feng said after thinking for a long while.
Qin Feng hesitated, then nodded slightly. “Go ahead.”
“Let me go home and see my father. It may be very difficult to see him again in the future.” Jiang Feng’s eyes were filled with desolation.
Qin Feng grew even more curious. Looking down at the leave slip, he hesitated for a moment before signing his name on it.
“Can you speak now?”
Jiang Feng took a deep breath, pulled a USB drive from his pocket, and placed it on the desk.
This was the recording of his conversation with Zhou Yu after they returned from the Beast Tide incident.
He was not the kind of person who would simply sit there and wait to die. From the moment he learned that Zhou Yu had deceived him, he had never trusted a single word from Zhou Yu again.
If Zhou Yu had not been holding evidence that his father had colluded with the Zhou family, he would never have endured until now.
This assassination attempt had made him see things completely clearly.
If it was going to end in mutual destruction, then he might as well make it absolute.
“What is this?” Qin Feng asked, picking up the USB drive.
Jiang Feng clenched his fists and said coldly, “The reason the SS-Rank Beast Tide erupted in the Great Rift Valley.”
!?
Qin Feng’s eyes widened slightly. He immediately inserted the USB drive into his computer and played the audio inside.
The more he listened, the more alarmed he became. He had never imagined that the SS-Rank Beast Tide had not been a natural disaster, but something man-made!
Only after listening to it three full times did Qin Feng slowly close the computer.
“I understand now. I’ll notify the Law Enforcement Bureau to arrest Zhou Yu. And you as well!”
Yet Jiang Feng only smiled with relief. He did not know why, but after confessing everything, he actually felt a strange sense of ease.
“The moment I handed over the evidence, I already knew I would have to bear the consequences. You don’t need to remind me.”
“There’s just one thing, Instructor Qin. Please give me one day of leave!”
Qin Feng picked up the leave slip and thought for a long time before nodding slightly. “The medicine to repair meridians will be delivered tomorrow. Since this all started because of you, you can take it to Chu Xingchen yourself and apologize to him.”
“Now you may go home. Do not think about running. You won’t escape.”
Jiang Feng nodded heavily and staggered out of the office.
Perhaps this was the only free time he had left.
Qin Feng watched Jiang Feng’s retreating back and could not help sighing.
He had been a fine seedling. What a pity.
Even though Jiang Feng had withdrawn from the crime midway and could receive a reduced sentence, he had still provided Zhou Yu with the means to trigger the Beast Tide. Under Huaxia law, that meant at least five years in prison.
Qin Feng shook his head slightly, picked up his phone, and dialed the number for the Law Enforcement Bureau.
“Director He, haven’t you been investigating the cause of the Beast Tide outbreak in the Great Rift Valley? I have a key piece of evidence here.”
“Please send officers over immediately to arrest Zhou Yu, Chief Instructor of the New Recruit Training Camp!”
