Martial Arts Department (MAD).
Director's office.
Standing beside the floor-to-ceiling window, Duan Tianhe looked down to see Bai Feifei and Jiang He.
Beside him was a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit.
The middle-aged man frowned and said speechlessly, "Captain Duan … No, I should call you Chief Duan now. You want me to challenge a junior? If this gets out, where will I put my face? "
The middle-aged man cursed and sat down on a chair. "Why don't you do it yourself?"
Duan Tianhe glanced at the middle-aged man and flashed a pained smile. "I'm the chief of the Martial Arts Department (MAD). How could I act so easily? That kid killed Cordo, who's at the pinnacle of rank-four. I have a feeling that his cultivation base isn't as simple as mid-rank-four, but when I asked him, he wouldn't tell me. "
"You know that the situation in the Spiritual State is very difficult. The ferocious beasts in Dadong Mountain haven't been dealt with yet, and the Sky Demon Cult is watching from the shadows."
Pouring a cup of tea and handing it to the middle-aged man, Duan Tianhe smiled and said, "Old Cheng, help me probe his strength. I'll treat you to a good meal after this is done."
"Wait … What does all this have to do with testing him?"
"I'm just curious."
Duan Tianhe smiled and said, "How can I not be curious when such a fellow suddenly appeared in my territory? I've investigated his background, and there shouldn't be any problems. However, I'm not sure about his strength. The higher-ups have policies to increase the nurturing of martial artists and Extraordinary Awakened. If this kid can perform outstandingly, I can apply for more resources from the higher-ups, right? "
"You might be shameless, but I am. You want me to attack a junior? I can't do it!"
"A bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills."
"I see that a few of your subordinates are not weak either. There are even Peak Rank-5 among them. Why don't you let them attack?"
"Two bottles!"
"I …"
"Three bottles!"
The middle-aged man slammed the table and gritted his teeth. "I'm also from the northwest. For the development of the martial arts world in the northwest, I, Ba Gua Cheng, will put my old face on the line today."
Hehe.
Duan Tianhe smiled.
Why are you pretending to be serious in front of me? A dignified Peak Rank-6 martial artist was willing to sell himself for three bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills?
However, this was in line with Cheng Dongfeng's usual style.
Of course.
Such words could only be thought in his heart. Duan Tianhe grinned and said, "Old Cheng, thank you very much for this matter. Besides, you have a good reason to attack. Didn't this brat beat up your martial nephew? Don't worry, I'll give you the Qi Nourishing Pills as soon as I'm done. "
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "We've been friends for over 10 years, do you think I don't understand you? Give me the three bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills right now. I'll turn around and leave if I'm short of one. "
…
"Mister Jiang, this hall will be used to receive Awakened and Martial Artists in the future. Moreover, a Martial Artist and Extraordinaire assessment room will be built upstairs. According to the country's plans, martial artists and Awakened will be heavily supported in the future, and even given certain privileges."
"The building in front has been sold to the Superpower Research Department. When the time comes, the Superpower Research Department will open a Monster Material Purchase Department here."
Bai Feifei could not help glancing at Jiang He as she spoke.
What the hell?
This guy had been eating since the beginning.
At first, Bai Feifei did not pay much attention to it, but gradually, the look in her eyes changed.
What did they eat?
Qi Nourishing Pills?
Be it in appearance, color or even smell, they were no different from qi pellets. Bai Feifei was a rank-four martial artist herself, and she had naturally consumed qi pellets before. Even so, each of them cost over a hundred thousand, and even if she was an internal staff member and had a discount, she would still have to spend a hundred and fifty thousand.
This guy must have eaten a dozen of them in just a short while, didn't he?
'No, it shouldn't be qi pellets. Even rank-six martial artists would need at least a day to digest a qi pellet, let alone rank-four martial artists.' Bai Feifei thought to herself.
Even so, she noticed that Jiang He's aura changed just as the thought crossed her mind.
The change happened almost instantaneously before fading, leaving Bai Feifei thinking that she was hallucinating.
"Mister Jiang, this way please … the building in front is the mission center, and any martial artist who has passed the MAD's Martial Artist Assessment could accept missions here … Eh, Mister Jiang, what are you eating …"
"Qi Nourishing Pills."
Jiang He popped a qi pellet into his mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed it, before taking out another and putting it into his mouth, smiling. "By the way, Sister Bai, could you tell me about that elite from the Eight Trigrams School?"
"…"
Bai Feifei's mouth hung open, a weird look on her face as she said, "You really know how to joke, Mister Jiang. How could qi pellets be consumed like that?"
That's right!
It definitely wasn't qi pellets!
Perhaps it was chocolate that looked and tasted like qi pellets?
Jiang He ate another qi pellet, but did not explain and said, "Let's go, Sister Bai. We'll meet up with team leader Duan, and we'll talk about that elite from the Eight Trigrams School as we walk."
He was already rank-four pinnacle.
He would eat more along the way, and he would be rank-five by the time he met up with Duan Tianhe.
"The Eight Trigrams School was founded in the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty by Master Dong Haichuan, one of the strongest individuals in the Hua Nation, having surpassed rank-nine in martial arts before the Revival of Qi …"
"What the heck?
Dong Haichuan isn't dead? "
Jiang He's eyes widened.
He had even forgotten to chew the two qi pellets he had stuffed into his mouth.
Dong Haichuan?
He had heard of him in his past life … the founder of the Eight Trigrams School … but he was still alive???
Beside him, Bai Feifei's expression changed drastically, and she quickly whispered, "Be careful with your words, Mister Jiang. You mustn't say such things carelessly, or even some of the elites in martial arts circles would attack you, let alone the disciples of the Eight Trigrams School. An elite like him is the nation's anchor, and he is more of a deterrent to Ferals than a nuclear bomb. Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense."
"Sorry."
Jiang He withdrew his thoughts and said, though a thought crossed his mind.
Soon.
He and Bai Feifei entered a building.
"This building will be the MAD's office building. It has nine floors, and Chief Duan's office is on the top floor."
"Chief Duan?"
"That's right. The MAD of Lingzhou City has been established, and captain Duan has been appointed as the chief of the MAD."
They entered the elevator.
And arrived at the ninth floor.
Bai Feifei knocked on Duan Tianhe's office door, saying, "Chief Duan, Mister Jiang is here."
"Jiang He is here?"
Duan Tianhe opened the door and winked at Jiang He, gesturing for him to leave first … after all, he had to go through with the act.
Behind him.
Cheng Dongfeng said flatly, "Jiang He? Is that Jiang He who beat up my martial nephew? "
He then walked out.
His burly figure stood in front of Jiang He, sneering. "How dare you beat up a disciple of the Eight Trigrams School, Jiang He?"
Jiang He studied Cheng Dongfeng then.
He had a middle-aged face.
Wearing a tunic suit and old cloth shoes, he had the demeanor of a great martial artist.
"So, you're the elite of the Eight Trigrams School?"
Jiang He smiled. "I heard you're going to cause trouble for me … hold on, let me take a pill first …"
He had miscalculated!
He was three qi pellets away from ascending to rank-five.
But just in case, Jiang He took out five and ate them all with a flip of his hand.
What!!!
Cheng Dongfeng's eyes bulged.
What the hell …
He had thrown away his pride for three bottles of qi pellets, and yet this brat had asked for five???
