His voice was suppressed and low, and the threat in his words was extremely obvious, almost undisguised.
Upon hearing this, Hu Qi’s forward-moving steps abruptly halted, and he turned his head to look at Xie Guang, who was staring at him with a gloomy expression.
Suddenly, he smiled.
His voice was gentle.
“Thank you for the reminder, but I don’t care. I have no family or friends, just a worthless life. It doesn’t matter if I die; no one cares.
However, you should be careful of the Black Blood Species appearing. At that time, it won’t be as simple as just losing a son. Your family might be ruined, and you won’t even have a place to cry.”
As his words fell, the sneer on Xie Guang’s face instantly froze.
How could a person living in this world not have friends and relatives?
Besides Xie Fei, he also had two sons and a daughter.
However, these children were not promising and lacked Aptitude, making it impossible for them to enter the Snake Heart Gate.
This was also why he particularly doted on Xie Fei.
But Hu Qi’s words instantly brought him to his senses.
The meaning of his words was clear: Hu Qi was a lone wolf. If you dare to provoke me, you’d better kill me directly.
Otherwise, his family’s lives would be difficult to preserve.
The ruthless fear the more ruthless, and the more ruthless fear those who are desperate and have no attachments.
And Hu Qi was undoubtedly the latter.
Xie Guang had a premonition that the other party was not bluffing.
He genuinely dared to do so.
The cold and indifferent look in his eyes could not be faked.
After understanding this.
He fell silent.
Seeing that the other party no longer spoke.
Hu Qi then turned and left.
… …
The two took a car and left Zhu Xi, quickly arriving at Anshan Academy.
“Thank you for today.”
Hu Qi smiled.
“It’s nothing. Instead, it’s you who must be careful.
That Xie Guang has a very extreme personality.
He himself has already reached Qi Blood Realm Perfection. If it weren’t for his Aptitude limitations and being too old when he reached Qi Blood Perfection, he might even have had a chance to become a Martial Artist.
The strength of a Martial Artist is not entirely dependent on Qi and Blood cultivation.
Even among those in the same Realm, the difference in their mastery of their Qi and Blood Skills will result in vastly different strengths.
Xie Guang is considered among the top in this regard.”
Yang Mo explained.
“Although Zhu Xi explicitly prohibits unauthorized attacks on fellow members of Zhu Xi, rules are dead, and people are alive.
‘A knight uses martial arts to violate prohibitions’—this saying is even more applicable to Martial Artists. As long as some things are done cleanly, Zhu Xi can’t do anything.
Even if they can investigate later, it’s meaningless if the person is already dead.”
“Thank you.”
Hu Qi’s eyes moved, and he looked at Yang Mo with some surprise.
Although this person seemed a bit cold, after a brief interaction, it was not difficult to discover that he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
After returning to the dormitory.
Hu Qi simply washed up and then fed some food to Zhangcha Duck.
Recalling this mission, regarding the information within, he spoke truthfully about everything except for a part about his own strength, which he did not elaborate on.
As expected.
That Old Liu should now be invited for tea.
Harboring a Black Blood Species is no small matter. If there are no surprises.
Even if the other party doesn’t die, he will only spend the rest of his life in prison.
Thinking of this.
Hu Qi no longer thought about it.
Previously, he was injured by that guy with a strange method, which caused his head to still ache.
Therefore, he did not choose to continue practicing Snake Form Stake, but instead lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
… …
The night passed without incident.
The next day.
In the dormitory, Hu Qi got up from the bed. The faint headache was still there, but it had faded a lot compared to yesterday.
He opened his phone, logged into the Zhu Xi website, and then found that the mission was displayed as completed.
And yesterday’s mission reward had arrived, totaling 300,000 yuan and 60 points. Compared to previous rewards, it had increased several times.
However, this was also normal, as this mission involved a Black Blood Species that was about to undergo a transformation, so the difficulty was naturally incomparable.
Seeing the reward that had arrived, Hu Qi did not hesitate and directly opened the exchange list.
Of course, points should be used immediately. They are useless if kept in hand. Only by converting them into a part of one’s own strength is the most correct approach.
Thinking of this.
He directly opened the weapons section.
Among them, it was divided into firearms and cold weapons.
The price of firearms was extremely high, not to mention that they also required qualification certificates, which needed professional study.
In contrast, cold weapons had far fewer requirements; as long as you could afford the price, and the price was only half that of firearms.
The cheapest steel long knife could be exchanged for just five points.
With the thought that good goods are not cheap, Hu Qi continued to browse.
Finally, his gaze lingered on one of the knives.
【Cold Iron Blade】
The entire blade and edge of the knife presented a strange dark blue, as if it were the color of frozen seawater from an extremely cold abyss.
The cold iron within it came from a special cold iron from the far west, combined with military-grade alloy to forge it.
Because of the cold iron within, after cutting a wound, it would slow down wound healing and cause continuous bleeding.
This single blade required fifty-five points, plus 200,000.
For ordinary mission rewards, one would need to complete at least three or more to afford it.
Hu Qi did not hesitate, directly clicked exchange, and then filled in the address.
Afterward, looking at the remaining points, he began to browse other items that could be exchanged.
The items here were dazzling and diverse.
The only pity was that there was no exotic beast meat available for exchange.
Hu Qi casually opened the Secret Medicine category and immediately saw a Secret Medicine named “Great Yang Ointment,” which surprisingly had a lot of positive reviews below it.
Its effect was that as long as it was applied to the private parts, one could fight endlessly for a night.
Of course, the consequence of using it was physical weakness. Even a Martial Artist would need to lie in bed for several days to recover.
Looking at the top-ranked exchange volume, Hu Qi’s mouth twitched.
The person who could invent such a Secret Medicine was truly a Genius.
In addition, he also saw several familiar items in this Secret Medicine section, such as spirit gathering incense, Spirit Snake Balm, and so on.
However, these Secret Medicines that could accelerate Qi and blood circulation were not very useful to him; he hadn’t even finished the previous ones.
Subsequently, being idle, he continued to browse other items that could be exchanged.
Suddenly, his gaze narrowed, and he discovered something that surprised him a little.
【White Whale Stance】
A basic stance skill from the Giant Whale Gate hundreds of years ago. Those who cultivate it will have Qi and blood like an abyss and a sea.
However, with the demise of the Giant Whale Gate’s masters and the passage of time, the Inheritance Secret Skill within has long been lost, and even the most basic stance skill is incomplete.
It was later obtained by a certain Zhu Xi member and handed over to Zhu Xi, having only a little reference value.
Exchange requirement: 10 points, 30,000 yuan.
After thinking for a moment, he directly proceeded with the exchange.
With this, he had 5 points left and 270,000 yuan remaining.
“Looking at it this way, money indeed comes quickly.”
Hu Qi sighed.
He somewhat understood why those big shots in his previous life, after achieving success and making a name for themselves, would say absurd things like not being interested in money.
Because for them, making money was too simple.
Not long after, his door was knocked.
After opening the door, he saw two people in black uniforms standing at the doorway.
