Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

After taking a bath, Mu Jianping and Fang Yi led Suzuki Seimei, whose face was flushed, towards the restaurant.

Since the Mu family's people came to the capital this time to assassinate Wu Sangui and frame him, there weren't many of them, less than thirty in total.

Aside from the dozen or so skilled assassins responsible for entering the palace, the rest were just some female servants and maids.

In the spacious dining room, there were two tables, with the men and women of the manor seated separately.

Led by Mu Jianping and the others, Suzuki Seimei, that little brat, naturally sat down at the table with the girls.

"Little one, come and try this Eight Treasure Chicken."

"You need to be a little taller to grow taller!"

"You should eat more vegetables too. Being a picky eater is not a good thing."

Looking at Suzuki Seimei's adorable little face, the women of the Mu Prince's Mansion were immediately overwhelmed with maternal love, and kept serving him food, as if they were afraid he would go hungry.

Suzuki Seimei also made full use of his young age, using his charm and cuteness to quickly build a relationship with the girls of the Mu Prince's Mansion.

"Thank you, Auntie, that's enough, that's enough..."

While dealing with the enthusiastic female students, Suzuki Seimei secretly glanced at the men's table.

To be more precise, the people that Suzuki Harumi was focusing on were the two people whose heads were above the sign that read "Check-in Available".

One of them was a tall, white-haired old man, about seventy years old, but with a ruddy complexion, full of energy, and bright, piercing eyes.

Judging from how others addressed the old man, Suzuki Seimei knew that this person was none other than Mu Jianping and the others' master, Liu Dahong, known as the "Iron-Backed Azure Dragon".

The other was a young man whose features bore a resemblance to Mu Jianping; he was none other than Mu Jiansheng, the young prince of the Mu family.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Suzuki Seimei, under the pretext of wanting to meet heroes, asked Mu Jianping to take him to meet Mu Jiansheng and the others.

Mu Jiansheng and his group naturally didn't take Suzuki Seimei seriously. They casually exchanged a few perfunctory words, shook hands with him, and sent him on his way.

Suzuki Seimei didn't care about Mu Jiansheng and the others' perfunctory attitude; after all, he just wanted to get the sign-in rewards from these tools.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in, Liu Dahong. You are rewarded with a complete set of the 'Mu Family Fist' manual. You can claim it at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Mu Jiansheng. You are rewarded with a master-level copy of the Mu Family Fist. You can claim it at any time."

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Suzuki Seimei's smile became even brighter.

Seeing this, Mu Jianping and the others had no doubts whatsoever; they were simply happy that he knew heroes and good men.

"Fusion!"

With a silent thought from Suzuki Seimei, the two master-level "Mu Family Fist" skill books and the one master-level "Mu Family Fist" skill book instantly merged into a perfect-level "Mu Family Fist" skill book.

Skill Name: Mu Family Fist

Type: Active Skill

Level: Perfect

Effect: Perfectly master all moves of the Mu Family Fist. When used, Strength +15 and Speed ​​+10.

Consumption: Physical strength, internal energy

Cooldown time: None

Note: The will to charge into battle is one of certain death!

Mu Family Fist is a set of boxing techniques that Mu Jianping's ancestor, Mu Ying, comprehended while fighting enemies on the battlefield.

The complete set of "Mu Family Boxing" consists of six moves: "Dragon Soars and Tiger Leaps", "High Mountains and Flowing Water", "Sweeping Across a Thousand Armies", "Turtle Claw Hand", "Green Rooster Spreads Wings", and "Golden Horse Neighs in the Wind".

Among them, "Dragon Soaring and Tiger Leaping" and "Golden Horse Neighing in the Wind" are movement techniques that can be used to advance or retreat, and to attack or defend.

The three main offensive moves, "High Mountains and Flowing Water," "Sweeping Across a Thousand Armies," and "Green Rooster Spreading Its Wings," are considered killing moves in the Mu Family Fist style.

As for the "turtle claw hand," it is a grappling technique, more suitable for dealing with targets that need to be subdued rather than killed.

Judging solely from the quality of martial arts, "Mu Family Fist" and "Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber" are about the same, both only considered third-rate martial arts.

However, after careful consideration, Suzuki Seimei still chose to use the perfect-level "Mu Family Fist" skill book.

Judging from the skill attribute descriptions, Mu Family Fist should be more powerful than Karate and Judo, so learning this new martial art is not a waste.

Most importantly, the skill level of "Mu Family Fist" has reached the Perfect level, rather than the Proficiency level like "Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber".

Based on Suzuki Haruaki's past experience, he could actually improve his skill level through self-study.

For example, when Suzuki Seimei used the Proficient-level "Painting Technique" skill book, because he was a painter himself, he directly raised the level of "Painting Technique" to the Master level.

However, improving skill levels through self-study is too time-consuming, and this method is not suitable for Suzuki Seimei.

Give a chestnut!

Just like Suzuki Seimei learning painting in his previous life, he only needed to spend two or three months to improve his painting skills from scratch to the basic level.

However, it takes several years, or even more than a decade, to improve one's drawing skills from the basic level to the advanced level.

However, if one were to upgrade "Painting Techniques" from the Proficient level to the Master level, it would take at least several decades.

As for raising the "Painting Skill" to the perfect level, one needs to have extremely high painting talent. Otherwise, even if an ordinary person spends their whole life, it is impossible to raise the "Painting Skill" to the perfect level.

The same principle applies to the Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber. If Suzuki Seimei uses the master-level Five Tigers Breaking the Gate Saber skill book and cannot raise the skill level in a short period of time, its power may not be as strong as the master-level Karate!

However, the Mu Family Fist is different. Its skill level has reached the perfect level, and its power far exceeds that of the advanced level of Karate and Judo.

Furthermore, once Suzuki Seimei has mastered the perfect level of the "Mu Family Fist," he will not need to learn any other similar third-rate martial arts unless absolutely necessary.

After all, even if other third-rate martial arts are cultivated to perfection, their power is not much different from that of the "Mu Family Fist". They cannot significantly improve Suzuki Seimei's strength. At most, they will only give him more ways to fight.

Chapter 348 First Battle Against Ao Bai (First Update, Please Vote)

Night falls

After dinner, Suzuki Seimei, being such a good boy, went back to his room to sleep with Fang Yi and the others.

It wasn't that Suzuki Haruaki really wanted to sleep, but rather that there were simply too few forms of entertainment available in that era.

No internet, no cell phone, and no computer!

Every evening, a curfew would be imposed in the capital.

If an ordinary person wanders the streets at night and is caught by patrolling officers, they could face imprisonment.

Moreover, Suzuki Seimei was just a child, and it was impossible for him to go to brothels or gambling dens for fun late at night, so he could only obediently go to bed.

Fortunately, Suzuki Harumi had come prepared, having placed some playing cards and other entertainment items in his storage ring. He then invited the two women, who were also wide awake, to play Monopoly.

Although Mu Jianping and Fang Yi were curious about the origin of these props, Suzuki Seimei casually brushed them off by saying they were "toys bought from foreigners."

Just as Suzuki Seimei was instructing Mu Jianping and the others on the rules of the Monopoly game, Aizen, dressed in black night clothes, also quietly left the villa under the cover of darkness.

……

Chaowu Duke's Mansion

Since the death of Emperor Shunzhi, the most powerful people in the court should be the four regents he appointed.

After all these years of development, among the four regents, Ao Bai was undoubtedly the most powerful.

Ao Bai was known as the "Number One Warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty." He was not only highly skilled in martial arts but also held great power. Even Emperor Kangxi and the Empress Dowager had to show him deference.

Over the years, in order to amass wealth and consolidate his power, Ao Bai has plundered countless amounts of the people's hard-earned money, and his hands are stained with the blood of many anti-Qing heroes and innocent people.

Many anti-Qing forces, including the Heaven and Earth Society and the Mu Prince's Mansion, wished they could tear him to pieces.

Unfortunately, the mansion of Duke Chaowu was heavily guarded. Many anti-Qing righteous men who risked sneaking into the mansion to assassinate Ao Bai died at the hands of the patrolling guards before they even saw his face.

Even if some highly skilled martial arts masters managed to evade the patrolling guards, they would not be able to kill Ao Bai in a short period of time.

If you are accidentally held back by Ao Bai, five hundred fully armed guards from the mansion will arrive quickly, with hundreds of spears and arrows at your side. No matter how skilled you are, you will not escape death.

Therefore, although many people have tried to assassinate Ao Bai over the years, none of them have succeeded.

Even if Chen Jinnan wanted to assassinate Ao Bai, he could only do so when Ao Bai left his residence and was not surrounded by many guards. Only then would he dare to lead the Heaven and Earth Society to make a move.

"Whoosh!"

However, tonight, Ao Bai's residence welcomed an uninvited guest: Aizen, dressed in black night clothes, who silently sneaked into his residence.

With the enhancement of the perfected Assassination Technique, Suzuki Seimei was like a ghost that did not exist. The patrolling guards in the open could not possibly find his trace.

"Puff puff……"

As for those sentries hidden in the shadows, the moment they discover Suzuki Seimei's whereabouts, before they can even send a message, Suzuki Seimei will strike them in the throat with a dart.

The perfect level of "Assassination Techniques" can only reduce Suzuki Seimei's presence, but it cannot make him truly invisible.

Therefore, as long as there are enough sentries and no blind spots are left, even if Suzuki Seimei has mastered the perfect level of "Assassination Techniques", he will not be able to find Ao Bai without alerting those sentries.

Of course!

If Suzuki Seimei can eliminate those sentries before they issue a warning, it will still be a perfect assassination.

The most powerful assassination technique in the world is actually the Peerless Assassination Technique!

After quickly eliminating dozens of hidden sentries, Suzuki Seimei finally found Ao Bai, the real culprit.

The burly Ao Bai, with his superhuman strength, knocked out the two blonde beauties and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Riding a foreign horse is definitely more fun, hahaha..."

"Clap clap clap..."

Just as Ao Bai was laughing triumphantly, a somewhat amused voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Young Master Ao, you really know how to enjoy life! Such a blessing of having multiple wives is truly enviable!"

"Who are you?! How dare you make fun of this old man!"

Ao Bai's tiger-like eyes widened. He grabbed the long robe from the table, casually put it on, and with a sudden burst of power from his legs, he charged out of the room like an enraged lion.

"Traitorous wretch! Die!"

When Ao Bai saw Ai Ran's short hair, he instantly labeled him as a traitor against the Qing Dynasty, raised his fist the size of a sandbag, and charged towards him.

do not forget!

Ao Bai was known as the "Number One Warrior of the Qing Dynasty," and he was very confident in his own strength.

Even when facing a master like Chen Jinnan, Ao Bai was not afraid at all, so naturally he would not take an unknown person like Aizen seriously.

"Good timing!"
