Mellen went to the computer in the police station that was connected to the police network. After going through multiple authentications, he entered his police number and logged in successfully.

What you see at first is similar to any ordinary commercial website, but if you look carefully you will find many unique sections.

Chat channel, ancient martial arts explanation, contribution exchange, bounty wanted...

Melen opened the chat channel and found that it was a hierarchical chat room. There were not many people talking in it, and most of the conversations were about routine tasks assigned.

This is normal. If you want to log into the police network, you need a special computer in the police station. The police station computer is only open during working hours, which eliminates the possibility of using it after get off work. If you use it during work, you can only talk about work matters. Otherwise, it is obvious that your boss will think you are lazy!

After a period of exploration, Mellen roughly figured out what he wanted.

There is a lot of content in the explanation of ancient martial arts, all related to various ancient martial arts schools.

As Melen had expected before, ancient martial arts is indeed one of the extraordinary paths in this world. Most ancient martial arts schools are divided into three stages: tempering the body, moving qi and blood, and comprehending the true meaning.

Tempering the body means bringing the physical strength closer to the peak of human capabilities through day-to-day training, while also carrying out preliminary strengthening of the skin, flesh, and bones.

At this stage, each school has its own training methods, with different efficiency and focus.

For example, the military boxing that Melen had learned before was actually derived from the Manniu school, called Manniu body-building technique. While improving physical fitness, it focused on strength and endurance.

Seeing this, Melen understood that there was a reason why the military academy designated the Barbarian Bull Body Building Technique as a military boxing technique instead of fancy techniques like the Heavenly Snake Silk Hand and the Spirit Crane Body.

After all, today's police are all equipped with guns, and ordinary people who practice those schools that focus on physical skills and speed, train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, and work hard for more than ten years, may not be able to reach the level of dodging bullets. On the contrary, the Bull Body Building Technique that increases strength and physique is more practical. Even if you are seriously injured in the process of arresting criminals, you can hold on longer with a higher physique, and maybe you can wait for rescue and save your life.

If tempering the physical body is still within the scope of ordinary mortals, then transporting qi and blood has a slightly extraordinary flavor.

The prerequisite for transporting Qi and blood is a physique close to the peak of that of ordinary people. This can be achieved within three to five years by practicing the body-building methods of various schools, with adequate nutrition and perseverance. Then, specific postures can be used to guide the flow of Qi and blood, further exercising the body to produce more Qi and blood.

Moving qi and blood is a painstaking process, and each movement causes damage to the body, requiring specific secret medicines to repair. Otherwise, recovery can only be achieved through long-term recuperation.

The core disciples of a normal school, not to mention taking the secret medicine as a meal, would need to take a dose of the medicine at least every three days to keep up with the progress of their practice.

If Melen wants the secret medicine, there is naturally a channel for it, which is the contribution exchange in the police network.

Formal police officers receive a fixed contribution payment every month based on their rank; this is their regular monthly salary. However, after a quick calculation, Mellen discovered that it would take at least three months of accumulation for him to exchange his contribution as a frontline grassroots officer for a secret medicine for the Barbarian Bull Body Building Technique.

Of course, there are other ways to gain contributions, such as destroying major criminal gangs and arresting wanted criminals.

When the Qi and blood become strong to a certain degree, you can try to comprehend the true meaning. However, the true meaning of martial arts is the core of the core of each school. The police network only goes to the step of moving Qi and blood, and there are only some brief descriptions of the true meaning in a few words.

Melen fast-forwarded through the video of the Barbarian Bull Body Building Technique's Qi and Blood Transporting Technique. There were a total of twenty-nine postures, which were explained very well, with each posture being broken down and crushed.

While watching the video, Mellen also divided his attention and browsed other sections of the police network to receive more information.

All the videos explaining the schools recorded on the police network include two stages: strengthening the physical body and moving the Qi and blood, and they are all free.

After watching the part about the Barbarian Bull's body-building technique, Mellen did not rush to watch other martial arts videos, but got up and went to the training ground of the branch.

Perhaps because of the existence of martial arts schools, martial arts training grounds are basically standard equipment in police stations.

At this time, there were several people exercising in the martial arts training ground. They didn't care when they saw Mellen. After a brief greeting, they went about their own business.

Mellen changed into a set of training clothes suitable for sports, and then began to move qi and blood according to the instructions in the video.

The lower limit for starting to transport Qi and blood is the peak level of ordinary people. This can basically be described as abundant Qi and blood, or vigorous Qi and blood. It is not too difficult to achieve. There are many gifted people in history who can reach this level naturally.

But transporting qi and blood is not that simple. The ultimate goal of transporting qi and blood is to touch the limit of the human species. Only when it reaches that level can qi and blood feed back to the spirit, and it will be possible to perceive and condense the true meaning.

Strictly speaking, in martial arts, reaching the level of true meaning is the true step into the extraordinary.

Of course, in addition to martial arts, this world also has other extraordinary ways, such as psychics who are born with special abilities, mechanical humans who have ascended to cyberspace, and deformed people who have undergone biological mutations.

Mellen learned all this through forum chats and the profiles of those wanted criminals.

Each of the twenty-nine postures for transporting qi and blood in the Barbarian Bull Body Building Technique is very strange. Some require twisting the body into exaggerated arcs, while others are like an old bull stretching its muscles. Each posture requires a long period of practice to achieve the desired effect.

But these are naturally nothing to Mellen.

In the first position, Mellen soon felt pain in his body, and even the muscles in his arms and thighs were slightly strained. Although it was not serious, it normally takes some time to recover.

At the same time, Melen could clearly sense that the qi and blood in his body were flowing into his limbs and bones due to the guidance of his posture.

During this process, a large amount of Qi and blood are consumed, while the strength of the body is steadily increasing.

After only maintaining the posture for a dozen seconds, Mellen's body began to spasm unconsciously and beads of sweat began to drip.

This is actually a manifestation of being unable to control qi and blood.

For beginners, nine out of ten times the Qi and blood will be wasted in the process of moving and guiding them, and only one or two percent can have the desired effect. This requires the practitioner to constantly gain insights during the guidance process, and finally be able to fully control the Qi and blood throughout the body, which can be considered as a real beginner.

After about three minutes, Melen slowly adjusted his posture back to normal. At this time, his whole body was soaked with sweat, his lips were a little pale, and he looked weak and had indulged in excessive sexual activities.

When Mellen opened his eyes, he saw that the people who had been training just now had surrounded him. He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

Moving Qi and blood is actually a very dangerous thing, especially for beginners.

Many people who come from a self-taught background, when they try to move their qi and blood for the first time, have no one to watch over them, so when they twist into some strange posture they cannot move their qi and blood back on their own, and their qi and blood are lost suddenly.

When encountering such a situation, even if you don’t die on the spot, you will most likely be disabled.

Several policemen in the training ground saw Mellen transporting qi and blood, so they approached carefully so that they could help Mellen as soon as possible when he was exhausted.

A middle-aged policeman frowned and said, "Mellen boy, didn't your master tell you the dangers of moving Qi and blood? It's best to prepare a secret medicine when moving Qi and blood for the first time. You are too reckless to try to move Qi and blood without any preparation?!"

Mellen gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Officer Zhao, I was just trying it out. I didn't intend to practice it directly."

Officer Zhao snorted and said, "It's a good thing it's like this, otherwise you might have broken your bones, and it wouldn't take long to recover!"

After listening to the teachings of several seniors, Mellen could only accept it humbly. After all, he was not a person who could not distinguish between good and bad. When Yu Zhendong received the news and hurried over, he scolded him again.

However, after scolding him, Yu Zhendong decided to give him a day and a half off and let him go back to have a good rest.

After leaving the police station, Mellen just turned a corner and the pale look on his face immediately became rosy. His steps became steady and powerful again. He no longer looked exhausted.

For other people, transporting qi and blood will cause great loss of qi and blood, which requires secret medicine and daily food and medicine to replenish. But for Mellen, the thing he lacks the least is qi and blood.

With the Little Red Lotus plug-in, no matter how much energy and blood are consumed, it can be replenished immediately.

On the way home, Mellen began to simulate the first posture of the Barbarian Bull Body Building Technique in transporting qi and blood by using his mind to guide qi and blood. The feeling of his limbs and bones being washed and strengthened by qi and blood all the time made him feel refreshed.

At the same time, streams of scorching air emanated from Mellen's body. Wherever he passed, he was like a walking furnace. This was the escape of qi and blood that could not be controlled.

In fact, it is not necessary to strike a certain posture to move qi and blood. Those martial arts masters who have realized how to control qi and blood can naturally integrate the movement of qi and blood into their daily walking, sitting and lying down.

Of course, this is only true in theory. After all, even if you can really take the secret medicine as a meal, it will take a certain amount of time to digest and absorb it. What's more, the process of absorbing nutrients and producing qi and blood itself is a kind of consumption for the body. It takes a certain amount of time to recover and adapt, and it is impossible to continue indefinitely.

But Melen is different. The Qi and blood in his body are taken from Xiao Honglian. There is no process of production and consumption in his body. He only needs to accept the flushing of Qi and blood and become stronger.

When Mellen walked out of the alley and onto the avenue, he had already stopped transporting his qi and blood. After all, it was too weird for a person to constantly emit heat like a furnace. If it was just a surveillance camera, nothing would be seen, but a normal person would definitely notice the abnormality if they got close.

I bought enough vegetables and meat on the way to last for five or six meals, and when I got home I made a sumptuous meal myself after a long time.

After eating and drinking, Melen began to continue to ponder the twenty-nine postures for moving qi and blood.

With his unlimited energy and blood, Melen performed these postures repeatedly without hesitation, in order to understand the guidance of energy and blood, as well as the strengthening of the body.

By evening, Melen was able to perform the first sixteen poses skillfully, but he was unable to perform the remaining thirteen because he was not strong enough.

At this time, Mellen was sitting cross-legged on the bathroom floor, naked, and the shower head kept splashing cold water on him, but soon the cold water would be heated by the temperature emitted from his body, and gradually evaporated into water vapor, and then discharged through the exhaust vent.

Even when Mellen was standing still, a sound like the continuous flow of water could be heard from his body. The mist rising from the body would vaguely form the shape of wild bulls under the guidance of some inexplicable force.

Although these wild bulls only appeared for a moment and their postures were different, they had one thing in common: they all possessed a captivating aura of wildness, like divine bulls from ancient times.

Gradually, the temperature in Mellen's body returned to normal. He opened his eyes and stretched his body, triggering a series of bone cracking sounds.

Mellen turned off the shower, wiped his body briefly, and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

After an entire afternoon and half a night of moving Qi and blood, his body had improved dramatically. As he clenched his fist, a surge of power came and he punched out suddenly, directly exploding the air with a sharp whistling sound.

At the same time, his control over qi and blood has also improved significantly. If he could only absorb one-tenth or two-tenths of the qi and blood at the beginning, and most of it would be wasted, then now he can absorb three-tenths or four-tenths, which can be said to be a remarkable improvement.

Speaking of which, [Wolf Tamer] should be an all-around profession that practices both magic and martial arts. Although it is inclined towards the spirit, [Soul Synchrony] allows Melen to passively inherit a large number of physical attributes from the dog.

Before, even when Melen used [Soul Synchrony] to fuse the dogs, he mostly relied on strength to crush them, and did not have much skill to speak of. The main reason was that Melen's strength increased too quickly, leaving him no time for in-depth research and development.

The little knight combat skills I learned when I first came into contact with the extraordinary were only half-baked, so there was no need to embarrass myself by showing them off.

Now, taking the opportunity to learn the new power system, I can take some time to hone my skills.

The next day, Mellen continued to exercise as planned, and even tried to continue to move Qi and blood in his daily life. However, the effect was not good. Even if he reduced the degree of Qi and blood movement, his body would still release high temperatures that were enough to affect the surroundings, making it difficult not to attract attention.

What Mellen needs to do most now is to perfectly control his own Qi and blood as soon as possible, so that he can transport Qi and blood continuously and quickly improve his strength.

Chapter 334: Shooting in the Downtown Area and Visitors from Headquarters

"Young people are really full of energy! But it's a good thing you only did the first move to move your Qi and blood before stopping. If you had continued for a while longer, I'm afraid I would have gone to the hospital to visit you."

Yu Zhendong looked at Mellen, who had a ruddy complexion and looked full of energy, and said earnestly, "Young man, when you reach my age, you will understand the preciousness of Qi and blood."

As he spoke, he picked up the thermos cup filled with wolfberries and took a sip.

Melen smiled and said, "Master, you are in your prime now, aren't you?"

Yu Zhendong paused, then calmly put down the thermos cup. He coughed lightly and said seriously, "Of course, but precisely because of this, we should pay more attention to health preservation."

Yu Zhendong coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Be prepared. The province may send a special team over in a few days, and we'll need to cooperate with them in conducting some investigations and blockades."

"Special team? Investigation and blockade?" Mellen blinked and asked, "Are they going to arrest wanted criminals?"

Yu Zhendong nodded and said, "Yes, it is said that they might migrate to our side."

Mellen asked doubtfully, "Since they've come to our side, shouldn't we be the ones to take action? Why are we the ones doing the fighting?"

"Who knows? It's all orders from above." Yu Zhendong shook his head, then seemed to think of something and hesitated for a moment before saying, "But this kind of thing has happened before. The team sent here belongs to a special department within the police system. They all have real skills. The wanted criminals they need to capture are not easy to deal with."

"Anyway, listen more, watch more, and talk less. If you really encounter any danger, pay attention to my instructions first. Don't rush forward and seek your death. Got it?"

When there are no cases on hand, the work of the police station is relatively leisurely. It is nothing more than occasional patrol and mediation of civil disputes.

Mellen would go to the orphanage whenever he had free time, and often he would go there during his breaks at work. His eye-catching police uniform made him easily remembered.

After Mellen severely disciplined a few hooligans who were loitering near the orphanage, life at the orphanage improved significantly. There were no more people deliberately banging on the door or throwing bottles into the yard at night. Of course, the latter didn't stay away because of fear, but...

At night, in a dim alley, Mellen looked quietly at the orphanage with its doors closed, lost in thought.

In the alley behind Mellen, two unconscious thugs were lying on the ground with several overturned wine bottles next to them, all of which were half-full of low-quality wine. If such bottles were thrown on the ground, not only would the glass shards be difficult to clean, but the pungent smell of the low-quality wine would linger for a long time.

Throwing this kind of wine bottle into someone else's yard late at night is a truly despicable act.

Melen understood that Long Wu's patience was probably running out, and he had to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

The simplest method is to simply make Long Wu disappear. With Mellen's methods, he can easily do this without anyone noticing. However, this is only a temporary solution. The orphanage's land is under development. Even if Long Wu is gone, there might still be Zhang Liu and Li Qi. If they still don't follow the rules, does Mellen have to keep killing them?!

Don't say that if you keep killing they will always be afraid. This is a society ruled by law. If a major case like serial murders really occurs, and the direction is so obvious, then neither the orphanage nor Mellen will have peace.

The most effective way to solve the problem once and for all is to let Long Wu pay out enough profits to help the orphanage relocate. The extra compensation can also help the children improve their lives.

When Mellen returned to the police station, he saw Yu Zhendong putting on his equipment.

Yu Zhendong glanced at Mellen and said, "It took so long to take a shit?!"

Melen laughed dryly and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Master, what is this for?"

Yu Zhendong said, "We've received news from the monitoring room that a group of people have clearly gathered on West Street. We're worried about a possible riot, so we're going there ahead of time to deter them."

Upon hearing this, Melen quickly put on his equipment.

West Street is a night market street. At night, many people lose track of each other after drinking a little, and fights are commonplace. However, if you are in a group, you should still take precautions in advance to avoid any accidents that may cause chaos and lead to serious consequences.

The two men drove the police car whizzing all the way, and when they were about to reach West Street, they sounded the sirens. The shrill sirens attracted the attention of pedestrians, and the noisy sounds on West Street suddenly became much quieter.

The drunkards who were originally acting recklessly immediately lost some of their drunkenness and their eyes became much clearer when they saw the police car. Those who had only drunk a little and were about to drive home immediately took out their phones and dialed the number of the designated driver.

The moment the police car stopped, a group of people not far away suddenly became agitated. There were about thirty or forty people in the group, mostly young men in their twenties. Most of them avoided looking at the police car when they saw it, and some subconsciously wanted to get up and leave.

Yu Zhendong and Mellen got out of the police car. The former swept the crowd with his sharp eyes. Most people avoided his gaze, and only two or three people dared to look him in the eye.

Yu Zhendong sneered and strode up to a young man who dared to look him in the eye. He ignored everyone else and stared straight at the young man, asking condescendingly, "It's so late, and you're not going home. What are you doing here?!"

The young man was intimidated by Yu Zhendong's aura and was speechless for a moment. He looked around as if he wanted to seek help from his "companions", but everyone around him avoided his gaze and turned a blind eye to his request for help, which made the young man even more courageous.

Yu Zhendong took in the expressions of these people and felt a little relieved. However, the sneer on his face slowly faded. He said expressionlessly, "Why, you don't want to go home? Why don't you come with me to the police station and I'll treat you to tea?!"

The young man smiled a smile uglier than crying and said reluctantly, "Officer, no...no need...I'll go back right away..."

Hearing the young man's words of surrender, Yu Zhendong finally raised his head and looked at the people around him. Sure enough, he saw a look of fear on their faces. He snorted and said, "If anyone else wants to go back to the bureau with me, I'll provide not only tea but also food!"

After looking around and seeing no one answering, Yu Zhendong raised his voice and shouted, "Why don't you go home? What are you waiting for? You really want to go back to the bureau with me, right?!"

Everyone was startled and immediately wanted to scatter.

Mellen looked at this scene and couldn't help but look thoughtful. Identity itself is a kind of power. They are wearing police uniforms and represent the officials of the Holy City Federation. With this identity, ordinary people will naturally be in awe when they see them and dare not fight with them.

Moreover, after Yu Zhendong's repeated attacks, the courage of the group of people was suppressed, and they naturally became timid. Otherwise, if this group of people really rushed forward, it would be a trouble for them.
