From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 115 Merit Points Issued! We're Rich!

The next day, dawn broke.

Su Yu woke up on time, feeling as if a warm fire was slowly circulating in her abdomen, which was the lingering medicinal effect of the ginseng, wolfberry, and pine nut chicken soup from yesterday.

He got out of bed, quickly washed up, and then hurried to the training ground despite the morning frost.

"Black Prison God Lock!"

He gave a deep shout and assumed the stance for the Black Stone Body Tempering Technique.

His muscles tensed, and a cold, hard luster, like raw iron, shone through his skin. With each punch and kick, the medicinal power was forcibly broken down, seeping into his bone marrow like silk threads.

In less than an hour, the burning heat within his body was completely suppressed. Su Yu shifted his feet, and his figure suddenly became light and agile, like a nimble ape in the mountains and forests.

"The white ape asks for directions!"

"Wandering in the Forest!"

His figure flashed and moved across the training ground, his fists flying, faintly creating gusts of wind.

[White Ape Fist Proficiency +10]

[White Ape Fist Proficiency +10]

Only after the last trace of medicinal power in his meridians was completely absorbed did Su Yu stop his movements and stand up, exhaling a wisp of turbid air that transformed into a straight white mist in the cold air.

He brought up the control panel and glanced at the rows of fluctuating numbers.

[Martial Arts]: White Ape Fist (Level 1) (Proficiency 1320/7000)

[Martial Arts]: Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade (Level 1) (Proficiency 2200/5000)

[Martial Arts]: Black Stone Body Tempering Technique (Level 1) (Beginner Level 500/5000)

"As expected, the poor study literature while the rich study martial arts—" Su Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes gleaming.

"The benefits of consuming more good food are clearly visible. Not only did I manage to complete two more repetitions of the White Ape Fist than usual, but my Black Stone Body Tempering Technique has also shown significant improvement!"

"If I were still without any pills and could only eat ordinary meat every day, my breakthrough would be many times slower."

Su Yu stretched, his bones cracking softly. He remembered his master's words: "On the path of martial arts, innate talent, comprehension, temperament, and resources are all indispensable!"

"That makes sense, but such extravagant spending, even at several thousand taels of silver, won't last long. It seems we still need to continue earning resources!"

Enforcement team, government office hall.

Su Yu was dressed in a black outfit today, which made him look tall and straight. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw several familiar figures.

Senior Sister Lin Wanzhu led Lin Dong and Lin Jing, a brother and sister, as they walked slowly. Behind them were two young men.

"Su Yu!"

When Lin Jing saw him, her beautiful eyes lit up. With a sway of her fiery waist, she swept over to Su Yu like a fragrant breeze.

She leaned in so close that Su Yu could smell her unique girlish fragrance. "It's only been a few days, and you've already caused such a stir. Tsk tsk, killing two monsters in a row, I'm really impressed with you now."

The two men behind Lin Wanzhu also quickly bowed.

"Captain Su, my name is Xu Yan, and I lead the team members."

"My name is Xu Ming, and I have long admired your esteemed name. I witnessed your Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade at the martial arts competition that day, and its divine essence still resonates with me to this day—"

Amazing, something I aspire to.

Lin Wanzhu smiled and introduced, "Xu Yan and Xu Ming are from Xu Feng's family, so they're your juniors. Su Yu, if you have the chance in the team, please give them some pointers."

Su Yu nodded slightly. Since he was a junior member of Senior Brother Xu's family, he was naturally considered one of their own.

Seeing that Lin Jing still wanted to lean in for a private chat, Lin Wanzhu calmly separated the two of them and said decisively, "Alright, you two stop bothering him. Su Yu, come with me to Commander Li's place, business is more important."

Pushing open the door to Li Jingxuan's room, besides Commander Li, there were two other people sitting inside.

Su Yu glanced at it.

The first seat on the left was occupied by a short man with a slightly hunched back. In the world of martial arts, people with strong physiques are usually not short, which is quite strange.

The woman on the right was a stunningly beautiful woman in her early twenties. Unlike Lin Jing's youthful fiery charm, this woman exuded a mature and alluring sensuality in every gesture!

She wore a dark red cardigan with an incredibly low neckline, which half-concealed her ample, snow-white breasts that were almost spilling out. Her assets were so impressive that they were only slightly inferior to those of her senior sister, Lin.

Her lower body was clad in extremely tight black leather pants, which outlined her breathtakingly curvaceous figure.

-

"Commander Lin, Su Yu, please have a seat!"

Li Jingxuan looked up from his desk and pointed to the short man, introducing him as Su Yu: "This is Sun Dahu, a second-level acupoint cultivator, the captain of the second team."

Sun Dahu chuckled, his smile and appearance both appearing somewhat lewd. "Captain Su's name has been widely known lately. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Captain Sun, you're too kind. It's all thanks to my colleagues' kind words," Su Yu replied politely.

"This is Cai Yun, who also has a secondary acupoint and is in charge of the fourth team."

Cai Yun's beautiful eyes sparkled, and upon seeing Su Yu, she covered her mouth and giggled, "Oh my, Commander Li was right, this young man Su is truly handsome, he's making my heart itch. Little brother Su Yu, if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Cai from now on."

When she laughed, her body trembled violently, and the visual impact of her voluptuous figure was so striking that it made one dizzy.

"Captain Cai, you flatter me. We'll look out for each other from now on," Su Yu said calmly.

Seeing Su Yu's calm demeanor, Cai Yun wasn't annoyed. Instead, she became even more eager to tease him: "Captain Su, after we finish our official business, how about I treat you to a couple of drinks at the Star-Picking Pavilion?"

"Ahem!" Lin Wanzhu snorted coldly, interrupting the two. "Cai Yun, this is the council chamber. If you want to talk about love, go outside. Commander Li, hasn't Peng Ye arrived yet?"

Cai Yun raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing across her face. Why was Commander Lin, who was usually as cold as ice and never interfered in other people's trivial matters, so angry today?

Thinking of this, a thought flashed through her mind.

Could it be that Commander Lin has designs on Su Yu?

As a master of the Body Refining Realm and the second-in-command of the Lin family, a martial artist in the Skin Tempering Realm shouldn't even be on her radar.

Does he think Su Yu is capable of breaking through to the Flesh Refining Realm?

Thinking of this, her gaze towards Su Yu became even more curious. However, with Commander Lin in front of her, she suppressed her thoughts and obediently sat back down.

"Commander Li, Commander Lin."

This person was none other than Peng Ye, the captain of the first squad.

At this point, all the captains of the five elite squads under the Jinlin Enforcement Team had arrived.

Li Jingxuan slowly got up and walked to the map.

"Everyone's here, let's get down to business."

"The law enforcement team has been in operation for a long time, but the situation outside the city is strange, and the bandits are still causing widespread panic. They haven't been able to produce any significant results. With the year-end approaching, Commander Pang has issued a strict order: results must be seen before the end of the year!"

His gaze immediately fell on Su Yu, his voice filled with admiration: "The other teams were having a headache, but Su Yu made a great contribution a few days ago. He not only killed two monsters, but also discovered the black stone that can lure them!"

Upon hearing this, Peng Ye, Sun Dahu, and Cai Yun's expressions all changed, and their eyes were filled with shock as they looked at Su Yu—Su Yu had killed the strange creature?

Over the past month, the enforcement team, from its commander to its captain and ordinary members, has carried out numerous missions outside the city, but not a single one of them has been able to detect any traces of the strange creature, let alone kill it!

He actually did it!

"My lord, what about that strange black stone that lured us?" Peng Ye asked first, unable to resist asking for details.

Li Jingxuan took out a black stone from his hand and explained, "This is the black stone. You can obtain it from the monsters after killing them. And they are extremely attracted to it. As long as you put the black stone in water, it will emit an aura that attracts monsters!"

"And this is what Su Yu discovered!"

Upon hearing this, the group was filled with various thoughts of surprise. How did Su Yu manage to discover such a secret?

With this black stone, wouldn't we be able to lure the monster and then kill it?

Thinking about this, they realized once again just how much of a contribution Su Yu had made!

"For this, Commander Pang has specially approved a generous reward!"

Li Jingxuan announced loudly, "Firstly, Su Yu killed two strange creatures, lifted the siege of Wangjia Village, and enhanced the reputation of our enforcement team. He is awarded two thousand merit points!"

"Secondly, handing over the Black Stone and discovering its effectiveness in luring the enemy is of great significance, and you will be awarded another 3,000 merit points!"

"Five thousand merits?!" Cai Yun exclaimed in shock, her red lips agape.

You should know that the merit points of the enforcement team are a valuable thing. She joined the enforcement team as a captain when it was first established, and now it has been more than a month, and she has not yet gained any extra merit points.

The only 100 points I received were from my fixed monthly salary as the team leader.

Sun Dahu rubbed his hands together with envy and sighed, "Congratulations, Captain Su! These merit points are a real treasure. In the enforcement team these days, one merit point is worth at least one tael of silver, and they're practically priceless."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu remained calm on the surface, but was secretly delighted.

Are these merit points really that valuable?

Wouldn't that mean I've gained at least five thousand taels of silver on this trip?

You've struck it rich!

This law enforcement team is indeed a highly sought-after place.

Li Jingxuan added with a smile, "It would be a waste to use merit points to exchange for money. The Enforcement Team's Merit Pavilion has a lot of good stuff, such as secret manuals and pills, which are priceless treasures outside. Exchanging merit points for money would be a waste!"

"Su Yu, you can go to the Hall of Merit yourself in a little while."

"Alright, next is the specific plan for hunting ghosts."

Li Jingxuan pointed to a section of the Blackwater River bank on the map: "This place is called Blackwater Beach, a deadly place where strange creatures frequently appear."

Commander Lin, take this black stone to lure the enemy. If you succeed, the merit will be calculated based on the quality of the captured black stone!

He handed over the dark, deep-colored stone, which faintly exuded an ominous aura. Su Yu recognized it at a glance as one of the stones he had submitted.

It seems that the three black stones I handed over have been distributed to various law enforcement teams.

However, having earned so many merits, it's not a bad deal.

"As for the other teams, they can collect their Black Stones after Commander Lin successfully kills the monster and retrieves them. Make sure to wipe out all the monsters in your respective jurisdictions before the end of the year!"

"Yes!" The group clasped their hands in acceptance of the order.
