Hunting God Era

Chapter 106 If the dog won't do it, I will!
"When it gets to No. 14 Middle School, give them a good beating!"

Back in his seat, Principal Zhao, his face grim, addressed the two spirited young men in the row directly in front of him:

"You can pick at least one of the three, either Fu Chuxue or Li Ye. Don't hold back. Especially Li Ye, make sure he's seriously injured in one go, and ideally, he'll be in the hospital until the college entrance exam!"

The two men exchanged a glance and laughed, "Don't worry, Lao Zhao, you invited us here, so we'll definitely get things done for you."

Principal Zhao smiled upon hearing this, then looked at Hua Zihang, whose expression was gloomy, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him:

"Zihang, don't worry this time, I will definitely avenge you."

Hua Zihang forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Principal."

Actually, he wanted to avenge himself.

Qu Wubi was defeated, but he felt it was an accident. If he had been more careful and focused, Li Ye would never have been able to knock him down with one punch.

However, the principal and teachers didn't think so, and to be on the safe side, they brought in two outside helpers.

The appearance of two second-realm geniuses greatly impacted his worldview.

He knew there were always higher mountains to climb, and that Wuyu Middle School's teaching philosophy wasn't so closed off; world-renowned masters had been strong since their youth.

But knowing is one thing, living is another. In Ningjiang City, he is second to none, and he doesn't respect anyone except Fu Chuxue.

From childhood to adulthood, he had always been regarded as a genius. However, the arrival of these two geniuses caused his status to plummet in Wuyu, a school full of martial artists who respected the strong.

This stark contrast made him feel even worse.

He clenched his fists and stared intently at the seats of No. 14 Middle School across the street.

still have a chance.

As long as he can get a chance to play against Li Ye and defeat him, he can still prove himself!
Bang!
As fireworks exploded in the sky from an unknown source, the martial arts competition in Ningjiang City officially began.

The competition format is two-into-one, with 33 high schools participating. Last year's city martial arts competition winner, Wuyu Middle School, has a bye, while the others will compete in the regular martial arts competition.

Thirty-two advances to sixteen, sixteen advances to eight, eight advances to four, four advances to two, and two advances to one, thus vying for the top three.

Wu Yu Middle School will participate in the round of 16 to eliminate one school and become the new top 8.

"The first match is between Ningjiang No. 14 Middle School and Jingpu No. 1 Middle School!"

The announcer's announcement sent excitement through the No. 14 Middle School.

Putting aside the Wuyu Middle School team for now, they'll be the first to go, and they're bound to make a splash.

"Normal rotation is fine."

Gu Yang doesn't need to figure out how to play anymore; as long as they don't encounter Wuyu Middle School, they're guaranteed to win no matter what.

They can appear in the following order: Yang Jie, Li Ye, and Fu Chuxue.
Jingpu County No. 1 Middle School is a formidable school. We faced them in the city's martial arts competition last year, and No. 14 Middle School narrowly lost.

They had a martial artist who had mastered superior martial arts and passed through the Qi Meridian Gate, known as the Six Dragons Gate, who defeated Xiang Feipeng at that time.

Two exquisite martial arts techniques, one the Six Dragons Gate and the other the Five Dragons Gate, even the worst of them could fight Yang Jie to a draw. Last year, with only Fu Chuxue, they had no choice but to leave the stage.

But this time it's different; they're absolutely guaranteed to win two games.

"I went first!"

Yang Jie took a deep breath and walked towards the center of the stadium. The opponent on the other side was also from the Five Dragons Sect. In Li Ye's opinion, this was also someone who practiced physical strength.

Perfect timing! This martial arts competition is also an opportunity to discover talent. Let's review the information later, and if there are any suitable candidates, we can poach some from outside.

Both of them practiced external martial arts, but Yang Jie focused on internal energy cultivation, while his opponent did the opposite, taking the external martial arts route. They were evenly matched, with very little difference between them.

To defeat his opponent, Yang Jie needs to relentlessly attack to break through the opponent's external physical defenses. Conversely, the opponent needs to find Yang Jie's weakness and break his last breath.

But they're both physically strong, and Li Ye himself thinks his opponent isn't as agile as Yang Jie. This match is going to be tough.

Sure enough, the two sides immediately engaged in a grueling brawl upon entering the arena, exchanging insults as they fought, clearly indicating that they knew each other.

The opponent tried to find Yang Jie's weak point, but he was not as fast as Yang Jie. Instead, he was hit a few more times by Yang Jie because of his unnecessary movements. In the end, he simply gave up and raised his fist to meet Yang Jie head-on.

Punches, kicks, elbows, knees, shoulders, and hips—every part of the body was attacking and being attacked. They fought for more than half an hour. Yang Jie was a step ahead and landed a final punch straight at the man's chest, breaking through his external defenses and securing a hard-fought victory.

This also drew applause from the area surrounding the stadium.

As an opening act, the fight was pretty good. There were no geniuses instantly killing ordinary players; every punch landed hard, and the fight was quite decent.

The people from Jingpu County No. 1 Middle School didn't look too good.

The martial arts teacher from No. 1 Middle School comforted the student who had staggered back, then looked at one of the contestants in the stands and said, "Qi An, you must make a great start and not lose face."

This time, he let Qi An from Liulongmen go second. No. 14 Middle School had a stroke of luck this year. In addition to Fu Chuxue, the senior class also produced Li Ye, who was able to defeat Hua Zihang and take the three-stage route.

No matter how they played, they were destined to lose. Qi An was very good, but he couldn't compare to the other two.

But even in defeat, one must lose in a spectacular way. He chose the latter: being easily defeated by Fu Chuxue, or failing after exchanging a few blows with Li Ye.

The curly-haired student named Qi An nodded. "Don't worry, even when facing Fu Chuxue, I won't give up easily!"

As he spoke, he grimaced slightly, as if he was in pain somewhere.

Then he took a step, showing ease, kicked the air a few times, and stepped from the contestants' seats into the arena, bowing to the crowd.

The sleeves were rolled up, revealing cuts and bruises below the wrists, suggesting the person had been whipped by something.

"Li Ye, play a better game!" Gu Yang encouraged.

Li Ye waved his hand and walked towards the arena. His entrance wasn't as grand as the student's; he simply walked over.

That student had plenty of energy in every move, his martial arts skills in the Qi Meridian were quite good, and his lightness skill in martial arts was also decent. However, his strength in every move was also good, and his arms seemed to be suited for long weapons.

Something familiar.

Have you seen this somewhere before?
Li Ye frowned slightly, looking the curly-haired student up and down.

Upon seeing the person stop, the person immediately raised their hand and said with a fawning smile, "Director Li, this is my father, Qi Yuan, sending his regards. You've worked hard."

Li Ye paused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh, the son of the man with the hook-and-sickle spear, from Jingpu County. I remember now, your father was quite good."

That Qi Yuan is a second-realm martial artist. I wasn't quite sure about his style before, but Li Ye has now practiced the Six Extremes Suppressing the World. Thinking back carefully, he should be a martial artist at the Qi Meridian Gate level.

However, he was quite principled, so he quickly admitted defeat and was sensible enough not to give Li Ye a chance to kill him.

"Yes, my father always speaks highly of you."

Qi An said respectfully, "Director Li, I won't embarrass myself by offering my services, nor will I take up any of your time."

As he spoke, he raised his hands to surrender.

"Wait a moment."

Li Ye said, "You're not bad. Interested in joining our disinfection team?"

Qi An shuddered and shook his head repeatedly: "Director Li, I'm just an ordinary person, not as good as a genius like you. My willpower isn't strong enough to withstand the corruption of demons, and I'd easily run into trouble. I'd better not do it."

Disinfection Bureau?

They work themselves to the bone and endure hardship, yet they don't get to enjoy any happiness at all.

Then Li Ye suddenly appeared, but he was bound to leave eventually. Once he left, the Elimination Bureau would still be the same old monstrosity.

Besides, if he doesn't leave, Qi An will.

At worst, I can just move to another place. The only strange thing is that the disinfection bureau in Ningjiang is the disinfection bureau. Aren't the others all the same?

The disinfection bureau might fool people from ordinary backgrounds, but they have absolutely no interest in someone like him who comes from a wealthy family and has superb martial arts skills.

He happily finished his martial arts university studies, then reached the second realm. He could either go back to inherit the family business and live a life of leisure and entertainment, or he could go to work for a big company in a big city and enjoy a life of luxury. Either way, he could eliminate the evil spirits.

Working in the pest control department is a deadly job – no status, insufficient benefits, and you have to work like a dog.
"If you perform well, I will grant you access to cultivate within the fiefdom of the Lake Dragon Palace."

"Fine! If the dog won't do it, I will!"

Qi An said excitedly, "Director Li, to be honest, I've always admired the Pest Control Bureau. My father told me that the Pest Control Bureau thirty years ago was the model for us all. I will definitely do my duty to restore the glory of the Pest Control Bureau!"

That's a fiefdom!
The foundation of the Ren family's reputation, which I'd only ever heard of but never seen, was actually brought out by Li Ye for others to use. Li Ye is truly magnanimous!
On the other hand, the disinfection bureau's failure is not applicable in other places, but specifically in Ningjiang City.
The person in front of me said yes, no problem!
"Why don't you fight?"

The audience looked at the two people in the center of the arena with some confusion, and the atmosphere began to become tense.

But soon, they saw Qi An raise his hand, as if he was about to start a fight.
"I surrender!"

His voice was so powerful that no one could react in time. Qi An turned around and left, using his light-footed skill to fly back to his seat even faster than before.

At this moment, the martial arts instructor on the other end finally came to his senses and gritted his teeth, saying, "Didn't you say you'd put on a spectacular show even against Fu Chuxue?!"

In the very first match, someone already conceded defeat. The three rounds weren't even played to the full three rounds. What will other schools think of them in the future?
"Yes, I will try my best to play well when I face Fu Chuxue."

Qi An shrugged. "But we haven't encountered it yet."

Are you kidding me? He dares to fight Li Ye?
He did it today; when he gets home tonight, he'll be hung up and beaten again.

Moreover, this will soon be his direct superior. It's just a matter of exorcising demons and monsters. Assigning him to Jingpu County, coupled with his family's influence, means that demons and monsters won't be able to cause any trouble.
