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

The next day.

The Superintendent of Arrests.

Yesterday, remnants of the Blood Lotus Cult reappeared in Sin City, breaking through to the Transcendent Realm by devouring criminals in the city, resulting in the deaths of many innocent people.

To prevent the situation from escalating, the higher-ups in the police force made an exception and allowed all the survivors to pass.

As for the innocent being forced into the prison, it was suppressed by those with ulterior motives and treated as mere rumors.

There were already quite a few people waiting in front of the main hall of the Xingtai.

Xu Yan arrived early and stood in the crowd waiting to report his achievements.

He noticed that many people were glancing at him from time to time, their gazes not exactly friendly, as if they were waiting for some kind of show to unfold.

Xu Yan ignored him and simply stood there quietly waiting.

After spending a few days in Anle City, he had become immune to the way the people of the upper city looked at the people of the lower city.

At this moment, a figure in cyan robes slowly walked towards Xu Yan and bowed gracefully in front of him.

"This humble girl, Ye Yuntang, greets you, sir."

The girl had delicate features, was about sixteen years old, and possessed a gentle and refined temperament with a touch of scholarly air.

She is clearly a lady from a distinguished family.

Xu Yan remembered her; she was the woman who used a pipa as a weapon.

This world has both healing martial arts and excellent elixirs. After a night of recuperation, Ye Yuntang's complexion has recovered considerably.

Xu Yan bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, young lady."

After confirming that it was the owner, Ye Yuntang took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it over: "Thank you for saving me yesterday, young master."

"This jade pendant was accidentally dropped by you during the fight, and it is a good day to return it to its rightful owner."

Xu Yan's gaze fell on the jade pendant, and he immediately recognized it. He reached out and took it, feeling a surge of joy at having found what he had lost.

He gripped the jade pendant tightly, looked up at Ye Yuntang, and said in a more serious tone than before, "Thank you, young lady. This is very important to me."

Ye Yuntang did not reply. Her gaze lingered on Xu Yan's face for a moment, then, as if feeling somewhat abrupt, she took a half step back and gave a slight bow.

She was staring at Xu Yan not because she felt any goodwill towards him for saving her life yesterday, but out of curiosity.

Xu Yan did not use his real appearance this time. Although Ye Yuntang had seen him once in Qing Shi Town, she was unable to remember his face completely.

But she recognized the jade pendant.

But the person holding the jade at that time was not the young master in front of us.

Could there be a third one?

Just as she was about to ask about the origin of the jade pendant, a voice suddenly rang out from the side: "Cousin."

Qin Feng strode over, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes as he looked at Xu Yan.

"Cousin." Ye Yuntang bowed respectfully, her posture dignified.

Qin Feng's gaze lingered on her for a moment before turning to Xu Yan, his tone gentle.

"My cousin is not yet married. It would be improper for her to be alone with another man, as it might cause gossip."

"If you have something to discuss, you can send a servant to deliver a letter another day."

Ye Yuntang shook her head: "This young master saved my life yesterday."

"After he killed the Blood Demon, he left some personal belongings in Sin City. I am here today to return them to their rightful owner."

"We just don't know his name, so we had to try our luck at the Superintendent's Office."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's expression softened slightly, and he cupped his hands in greeting to Xu Yan: "I see. I am Qin Feng from the Qin family of Anle City."

"I have heard about what happened yesterday. I never expected that you could defeat that blood demon all by yourself. You are truly admirable."

"Thank you for your help, brother. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Xu Yan returned the greeting, "Brother Qin, you flatter me. It was nothing at all."

Qin Feng looked at Ye Yuntang and knew that she had come to participate in the commendation ceremony today.

"Cousin, you don't need to wait here. I'll take you inside."

Ye Yuntang felt slightly displeased.

She still hadn't been able to get the origin of the jade pendant from Xu Yan.

Ye Yuntang knew exactly what kind of person Qin Feng was.

Saying anything more would only cause trouble for Xu Yan, so I could only remember his appearance for now and find another opportunity later.

As the appointed time approached and everyone had arrived, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a black uniform of the Superintendent of Police, stood at the front of the crowd and slowly opened the register in his hand.

He was the former commander of the Yunzhou Police Station.

The first name he uttered was naturally Xu Yan.

After leaving Sin City, many people witnessed Xu Yan killing Jiang Chengying.

Therefore, the top spot in this review undoubtedly went to him.

"Xu Yan killed a Blood Demon, ranking as a Head Armor, and was appointed as a Geng-level."

All eyes of the people in front of the hall fell on Xu Yan as the old man called out his name.

The Bureau of Arrest has ten ranks, with superiors having the authority to assign subordinates to assist in cases and receiving 70% of the credit.

Xu Yan was promoted three ranks immediately after passing the review, and as soon as the news spread, some people were dissatisfied.

"My lord, we also contributed to the fight against that blood demon, so why was he able to advance three levels all by himself?"

Upon hearing this, the old man glanced at him indifferently, his tone not harsh, yet it quieted the commotion in front of the hall.

"Upon investigation, it was found that all the fatal wounds on the Blood Demon's body were caused by one person."

"If you have any objections, you might as well verify it yourself."

The man's expression stiffened slightly, and he continued, "He's at the Transcendent Realm!"

"Shouldn't the review of cases involving those who have transcended the mortal realm be arranged separately by the Bureau of Arrest?"

"This is clearly someone trying to get away with it!"

After listening, the old man's tone turned cold. "Do you perhaps think that I'm so old that I can no longer distinguish between people?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

The person who spoke was the scion of a prominent family who had been kicked away by Xu Yan yesterday.

They had already agreed yesterday not to mention the matter yet, but to expose Xu Yan in public today when there were many people around, leaving him no chance to recover.

But what's going on with that?

Seeing that no one spoke up, the old man continued reading.

Due to the appearance of the Blood Demon, the criminals in the city were all devoured, and apart from Xu Yan, the others had no notable achievements.

Even those who had been given prior notice could only be assigned to the Ren rank.

After the commendation ceremony, Xu Yan, as the top performer, also received the prize for this retrial.

You may choose any high-grade Xuan-level martial art.

Xu Yan followed the old man to the library, which had three floors, but he could only choose books on the first floor.

He glanced at the bookshelf and quickly noticed something was wrong.

The shelves were full of empty books, with only the names of the martial arts techniques written on the covers. The specific content could not be seen, and it was impossible to learn them directly through cheat codes.

True martial arts should all be at the second level.

As for the third floor, Xu Yan had heard Chen Xuan mention it before; it contained martial arts techniques of the Xuan rank and above.

There is even a low-grade Heaven-rank internal skill.

Those who practice this skill can quickly recover from injuries using internal energy, which is also the wish of all the lower-level police inspectors.

However, only those who reach level D are qualified to enter.

This is just empty promises.

There wasn't much difference between the police chief and the bodyguards; both were professions that involved risking one's life.

But how many martial arts practitioners have truly mastered the Xu family's martial arts?

"As expected, advanced martial arts techniques do not easily fall into the hands of the lower classes."

After several selections, Xu Yan finally chose a high-grade Xuan-level body-refining martial art called "Mysterious Iron Body".

This is what is known as defensive martial arts.

The old man sent someone to the second floor to find the original copy for Xu Yan.

【The Mysterious Iron Body】

[Quality: High-grade Xuan-level]

Level cap: 55

[After each level increase: External Defense +2, Health +10]

After studying, he clearly felt a change in his body; his muscles and bones were more solid than before.

After leaving the police station, Xu Yan planned to return to the inn to tally up his gains before leaving Anle City.

However, as soon as he stepped into the inn, he sensed that something was wrong.

It seems like I'm being watched.

No matter how well these people try to hide, they can't escape Xu Yan's detection panel.

West City is a poor area, and even if there are martial artists at the Transcendent Realm, there shouldn't be so many of them suddenly appearing.
