Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Hungry Ghost, he can never get enough to eat.

Even a ten-horned dragon with a body length of over two hundred meters could not feed the "bottomless pit" of the hungry monster.

As the ten-horned dragon was devoured by He Lifeng like a whirlwind, a cacophony of whispers echoed through the air…

[Target to be devoured: Decagon] 'Alien Dragon'

[Status: Aging, Fusion]

[Gained Abilities: Ten Heads, Fire Pouch, Water Gallbladder, Heart of Earth, Metal Traction, Body Like Wood, Spiritual Thought, Painted Spirit Skin, Bloodline Devouring, Reverse Blood Dragon's Filth, Not Chasing Ancestral Spirits!]

"Ten Poems: Born with ten poems, one can be taken without death, and one's spiritual power will increase tenfold!"

Firebag: Stores and controls fire...

Water tank: for water storage and control...

Heart of Earth: Heart merges with the earth, governs the soil!

"Golden Traction: Gold obeys your command, you can control a hundred miles!"

"The body is like a tree: the meridians are like a tree, the feet are like roots. Standing firmly on the earth, one can draw spiritual energy to grow; as long as there is breath, one can live; rooted in the earth, one is immune to all poisons..."

[Gain the same ability twice!]

[Spiritual awareness has been enhanced!]

"Painting Spirit Skin: Gathering spiritual energy and using heart's blood as a guide, one can carve out a spirit skin that transforms endlessly when worn!"

[Gain a special similar ability!]

[The Hungry Monster is growing...]

[The supernatural power of the Hungry Devourer has been enhanced!]

"Dragon's Blood Reversal: A dragon with rebellious blood, defying the laws of nature, disregarding conventional norms, unbound by shackles, short-lived, and possessing superhuman abilities!"

"Do not follow the spirits of the ancestors: the laws of the future are difficult to bind!"

The constant whispers brought a smile to He Li's face, who was already filled with anticipation.

"I knew it! I knew it!"

"This guy must have an incredible number of abilities."

"Tsk tsk~ Ten titles, to enhance spiritual power like mental energy tenfold is already heaven-defying enough. The ability to control the five elements later on isn't quite as heaven-defying..."

"But the last two abilities are equally overpowered."

He Li recalled the whisper, growing increasingly excited.

The whispered meaning of that Blood Reversal Dragon's ability is that his physical growth is no longer bound by biological limits, meaning that his growth will become unpredictable by common sense.

However, this ability has a drawback: it's short-lived!

The aging state of the ten-horned dragon...

That's probably how it came about.

Then there's the ability to stop chasing after spirits, which, while not directly enhancing He Li's combat power...

Judging from this, He Li will likely be able to freely enter and exit places with all sorts of messy restrictions in the future, because those restrictions will no longer apply to him.

At the same time, suppression abilities similar to those of the Soul Suppression class...

Its effect on him will also be reduced.

"No, it might be more than just a decrease."

"Instead... utterly useless!"

Remembering that the ten-horned dragon was unaffected by the Soul Suppression, He Li felt that he was one step closer to invincibility.

As for the "Spirit Painter" among these abilities?

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the ability that the monster that Master Mingxuan raised, which could create incredibly realistic human skin, gained after being eaten by the Ten-Horned Dragon.

This ability isn't very useful, and the explanations for listening to whispers seem rather complicated to use.

"This ability is not needed for the time being."

"But it might be useful later."

"For example, after going to the Middle Realm..."

He Li squinted as he pondered. In his opinion, if he could go to the Middle Realm in the future, he could use the ability of the Painted Spirit Skin to disguise himself as a Qi Refiner in the Middle Realm and then cause trouble.

Thinking this, his gaze swept over the golden bloodstains left on the ground when the ten-horned dragon died...

"Guardian!!!"

With a silent recitation in his mind, the ability is activated.

Instantly, an invisible Soul-Suppressing Domain spread out.

Within the Soul Suppressing Domain, He Li's eyes scanned his surroundings, spotting a ghostly figure crouching on the ground gazing at the sky, and a colossal dragon phantom coiled behind Shi Fang...

Dragons of the ten directions and ten corners.

They are dead, but their souls remain.

He Li was somewhat surprised when he saw the two souls.

Because he was just trying it out...

I want to see if my Soul Suppression Domain ability can summon souls that I can control, because the souls of enemies I killed in the past quickly dissipated and I couldn't see them at all.

So he didn't have much hope this time, but who knew their souls actually were...

"He is indeed the strongest enemy I have ever encountered."

"No one else can compare to them."

"Speaking of which, I'm really curious, can souls inherit the abilities they had in their previous life?"

"If only..."

He Li's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Buzz! The next moment, the soul summoning was activated, and the somewhat bewildered Ten Directions Soul and the Ten-Horned Dragon Soul were also affected by the Soul Suppression Domain and looked at He Li.

Controlling souls in the Soul Suppressing Domain is very simple.

No complicated operations are required; it simply relies on the ability to forcibly control the dazed soul.

Just like now, the souls of the Ten Directions and the Ten-Horned Dragon have begun to act according to He Li's thoughts, and He Li's idea is to let them use their abilities from their previous lives.

It's just a pity...

The supernatural powers of the ten directions are gone.

Of the abilities that the ten-horned dragon devoured, it seems that only a very few were retained. The five elements abilities and the disguise were gone, but it's good that some were preserved.

"Although I can control souls, I don't know how to nurture them to become stronger."

"We'll have to find a solution later..."

After a moment's thought, He Li waved his hand...

Buzz! Instantly, the souls of the ten dragons and the ten-horned dragon began to slowly sink until they completely disappeared into the Soul Suppressing Domain. This was a lower-level ability of the Soul Suppressing Domain: Soul Absorption.

Subsequently, He Jie dispelled the Soul-Suppressing Domain.

At the same time, a weak voice, filled with hatred and anger, came from afar...

"He Li... this isn't over yet!!!"

"We will definitely report what you have done!!!"

"Just wait until you're arrested!!!"

"Also, don't think that just because you have decent strength and heaven-defying supernatural powers you can do whatever you want. My Great Xia still has quite a few powerful investigators who have reached the Heaven level."

"Hmph, I'm looking forward to seeing how you'll handle it when those investigators from above come to arrest you!"

Hmm? He Li looked up upon hearing this.

In the distance, Lin Fan, covered in blood and severely injured, barely able to stand, was being supported by Jiang Han as he stared intently at him, speaking in a cold tone.

When He Li looked up at him, he panicked and retreated like a frightened bird, almost falling to the ground.

Clearly, he thought He Li was going to take action.

Before He Li could even speak...

He said nervously, "Let's go!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's order, the Shanghai investigators could only watch He Li gradually retreat into the distance, filled with resentment and a mixture of fear and hatred.

"You made such a bold statement, I thought you were going to muster up the courage to fight me head-on."

"So you chickened out and ran away?"

"Ha, what a bunch of useless trash!"

He Li pursed his lips and ignored them.

Because he will be going to Shanghai soon.

"The matter of the overseas immortal mountain in Shanghai is probably... related to Qi cultivators from the middle realm like Kurongzi. Going there to investigate will definitely bring a lot of merit."

"Perhaps, I might even encounter many powerful and bizarre monsters like the Evil Tai Sui that I can devour."

"When we go to Shanghai then..."

"It's not too late to deal with these good-for-nothings later!"

Looking in the direction Lin Fan and the others had left, He Li's eyes flashed, revealing a slightly sinister smile.

Then he began to look forward again. This time, he successfully handled the Bailong Society's affairs across multiple cities, dealt with the hidden Kuru Zi, and obtained a lot of intelligence.

If all these things are reported, how much reward or merit will the higher-ups give me?

"The merit points should be at least thirty to fifty thousand, right?"

"There are also extra rewards..."

As he was thinking, Yu Ji suddenly approached and said, "Zhao Hu and the others from Lecheng sent a message."

"The Bacheng General Bureau sent people over there."

"It's Sister Mu and the others!"

"Also, after we left, they found a lot of information about Qi Refiners at that anomaly point..." She was interrupted by He Li's wave before she could finish speaking.

"There's no rush over there."

"It's not too late for us to go later."

"But Ryokawa..." He Li glanced at the city, which had been reduced to ruins by the Ten-Horned Dragon: "This place should also have anomalies that we haven't discovered."

"Otherwise, not to mention the Ten Directions, there would be no way that something like the Ten-Horned Dragon could be hidden."

"So..." Yu Ji's eyes lit up.

He Li nodded with a smile.

"Therefore, the most important thing is to find the spatial anomaly where the Ten Directions and Ten Horns Dragon are hiding in the Rift River. Maybe we can find something good in their hiding place."

"After all, if he's going to raise a ten-horned dragon, he must have collected a lot of good treasures..."

When He Li got to this point...

The others present also realized what was happening.

Meanwhile, the surviving local investigators from Ryoukawa couldn't help but speak up...

"About...about the place where the Ten Directions hide."

"We might...know!"

Oh? He Li looked over...
