I'm already invincible, and you're telling me I just logged in?

"I plan to open a martial arts school in Qingshi Town."

Xu Yan was somewhat surprised.

There were two martial arts schools in the town, but they were both run by local families and only accepted the sons of merchants. Ordinary people couldn't even get close to them.

He had inquired about it when he first arrived in the world, and the entrance fee alone was twenty taels of silver.

Chen Xuan opened the martial arts school so that children from underprivileged families could also learn martial arts.

After learning the reason, Xu Yan asked Chen Xuan to wait a moment, and soon returned with Xiao Qi.

Xu Yan first introduced to Chen Xuan: "Lord Chen, this is my younger brother. I had planned to teach him martial arts these days, but with the retrial imminent, I'll have to trouble you for now."

As he spoke, he handed over the silver and the "Breaking Through a Thousand Armies" manual, which he hadn't yet sold, saying, "I don't have much to offer you."

"As for the money, consider it my entrance fee."

Fang Zhao's true identity is that he is a wanted person by the Bureau of Arrest and is on file.

Xu Yan received a reward of one hundred taels of silver for this.

As for the offensive martial art that Fang Zhao possessed, he chose to hand it over to the government in exchange for merit.

Chen Xuan wanted to decline, but Xu Yan was adamant, so he eventually accepted.

"Consider it a favor I owe you."

For people like them, Xuan-level martial arts are extremely precious, but opening a martial arts school does require more martial arts to maintain its prestige.

After entrusting Xiao Qi to Chen Xuan, Xu Yan left the yamen, tidied up briefly, and then checked the latest update announcement.

By this time, Xu Yan had sobered up considerably.

He suddenly realized something.

The enhancement effect of "Harmony between Heaven and Man" should, in theory, only take effect during the battle between Heaven and Man.

Since it works in reality as well, it means that any martial arts technique that has been modified by the cheat system will be effective in all scenarios for me.

Xu Yan looked at the section about adjustments for fist cultivators.

[Fist Cultivator (Battle of Heaven and Man): Damage dealt adjusted to 120%, damage received adjusted to 80%]

All positive buffs.

The effect of the unity of man and nature has changed, and Xu Yan estimates that this adjustment is also useful.

I excel in both PVP and PVE, it's not a bug.

"It seems that even in a game, fist cultivation is still a nine-gate system, all of them are enhanced."

In reality, Xu Yan gradually realized that practicing boxing, compared to other martial arts, did indeed have many shortcomings.

Once I pass the assessment, I need to quickly put defensive martial arts on the agenda and also save up some more silver.

We must keep this great Buddha statue of Dongfang Canghai in our hearts, and we must not stop giving him elixirs.

Xu Yan took out the mask he obtained from Su Miaoyun's side quest and put it on, changing his appearance.

The review only requires a token, not a portrait verification, so he took this opportunity to change his face.

When navigating the world, it's best to avoid revealing your true identity.

Even if you make enemies, it won't affect you.

.......

Yunzhou, the city of sin.

The walls of Sin City are towering and majestic, covered with sharp spikes.

On the city wall, a police inspector respectfully called out to the figure in front of him, "Young master, the item has been retrieved."

Qin Feng didn't turn around, and asked in a calm tone, "How's his training going?"

"He has already reached the eighth level of the Cave Meridian Realm, but he has already devoured most of the criminals. With the retrial imminent, we may need to arrest a few more people."

Qin Feng responded, "I'll leave the matter to you."

"Yes, sir." The constable bowed and withdrew.

After everyone had gone far away, Qin Feng slowly raised his eyes and looked at the outline of Sin City.

He was too lazy to kill someone who refused to back down, lest it leave him with something to talk about later.

But if Xu Yan dies in Sin City, that would be a different story.

When the time comes, the item will naturally fall into his hands, and his cousin's joy will be secured.

The thought of not seeing his cousin for half a month made Qin Feng feel a little depressed.

......

Ten days later, Anle City was more than 500 li away from Qingshi Town. Xu Yan hired a fast horse and, without stopping for long, finally arrived within the deadline.

The city gates of the prefecture were much more magnificent than those of a small place like Qing Shi Town.

Xu Yan lined up at the city gate, handed over his travel permit, and the soldiers guarding the city glanced at it.

"From out of town? One tael of silver for the city entrance fee."

Seeing that everyone else followed the same rule and no one said anything, Xu Yan obediently gave them one tael.

Once inside the town, the streets were much wider than those in Qingshi Town, lined with shops on both sides, and bustling with pedestrians.

As expected of the prefectural capital, it is indeed much more impressive than a small town.

As Xu Yan walked down the street, he took in the bustling cityscape while noticing the gazes directed at him from all around.

These gazes were made without any attempt to conceal them.

"From the countryside?"

"Never seen the world..."

Xu Yan frowned; Chen Xuan had given him some instructions before he left.

Clothing and appearance determine social status; urban and rural areas distinguish between the noble and the lowly.

This world is inherently like this; scions of noble families are born with access to advanced martial arts techniques.

People at the bottom can only rely on luck.

He looked away, not lingering, intending to first inquire about the location of the Superintendent of Police's headquarters.

Xu Yan asked several people along the way before he finally learned that the Superintendent of Police's office was located in the center of Anle City.

He glanced at the sky and decided not to rush off. It was still dozens of miles from the South Gate to the city center, so he found a restaurant, sat down, and had a meal before continuing his journey.

After traveling for ten days, you need to catch your breath first.

When Xu Yan arrived at the Superintendent's Office, he learned that he had to pay ten taels of silver just to register for a review.

Fortunately, he took most of his savings with him on this trip, leaving the rest for Xiaoqi, which was enough for her to maintain her daily expenses and buy wine for Dongfang Canghai.

After registering, Xu Yan learned that a convoy would transport all those undergoing review to Sin City in five days.

Since it was still early, he wandered around the city for a while before finding an inn to stay in as darkness fell.

When staying at an inn, the innkeeper asked to see the travel permit first.

After receiving Xu Yan's travel permit, the shopkeeper glanced down at it and then raised an eyebrow.

"From out of town?" he said casually. "Your place is in the west of the city."

His inn only caters to scions of prominent families from other states.

Xu Yan took the travel permit and put it away without saying anything, then turned and walked towards the west of the city.

In this world, your birth determines everything.

When Xu Yan reached the west side of the city, he discovered that there was another city wall and gate separating them, as if there was another boundary inside the prefectural city.

The soldiers took the travel permit, confirmed it was correct, opened the small door on the city gate, and let Xu Yan in.

The western part of the city is far inferior to Anle City, and it even looks worse than Qingshi Town.

Xu Yan found an inn in the west of the city to stay in.

When the shopkeeper heard that he had come to attend the review by the police, he was very polite and told him that the people living in the west of the city were all migrant workers from various places.

Entering the city during the day, one must return to the west of the city at night and can only re-enter the city at dawn.

After listening, Xu Yan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Are these the people of the upper town and the people of the lower town?

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Because the effects of the elixir had worn off, Xu Yan had been practicing his skills these past few days, but his progress hadn't been very good.

Sin City.

Xu Yan stood in front of the city wall, looking at the walls covered with spikes, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Is the power of the Bureau of Arrests really that great?

He had heard people mention at the inn that a hundred years ago this place was an ordinary city, but then a martial artist who went mad from practicing martial arts went so far as to slaughter everyone in the city overnight, turning it into a dead city.

Later, the Bureau of Arrest converted it into a prison city, which is said to hold hundreds or even thousands of criminals captured from all over the country.

Xu Yan raised his eyes and looked at the towering city walls of Sin City, raising an eyebrow slightly.
