This person nad Xu Yang, Xiang Beifei was still unclear about who exactly he was.
But he should not lay hands on himself, that was the only thing Xiang Beifei could be certain of.
He did not tell Lu Hong what Xu Yang's system was or what his cultivation level was.
Being just a high school student who had just awakened his system, if he knew these things, Lu Hong would start to suspect him.
He would let Lu Hong investigate next, as he was part of the city's guard squad, he could check all the population records for anyone nad Xu Yang and see if he could filter them out one by one.
Xiang Beifei needed to focus on two things at the mont.
One was earning money, and the other was cultivating.
Earning money was essential.
Although due to his father's cause, the Alliance provided a monthly pension, Xiang Beifei could not rely on the pension for life. If he wanted to forge his own path, he needed to be self-reliant.
Besides, if he really went to a place like Liangzhou University, this pension wouldn't be enough.
And cultivation was of utmost importance.
Unlike others, while others could do system tasks to improve their cultivation, he had to rely on his own personal cultivation.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, circulated the Chaos Yin-Yang Formula once, absorbed the spiritual energy around him, introduced it into his body, tempering his own ridians.
The night battle with the alien canine made him realize his many shortcomings, and he felt he needed a suitable weapon. Otherwise, facing a desolate beast like that always gave him a sense of disadvantage.
"Xiaohei, do you have any weapons you could give to use?"
Xiang Beifei poked Xiaohei, who was rolling around bored next to him.
Xiaohei barked excitedly and said, "Divine Mud."
"What Divine Mud?"
"A very hard and strong material that can transform into any tool you want."
Xiang Beifei's eyes lit up.
"That sounds powerful. Where can I get it?"
"Illuminate the Arrogant Dragon Constellation, and then use your spiritual power to nurture the divine mud, refining it into the shape you want," Xiaohei said.
Illuminate the Arrogant Dragon Constellation?
The Arrogant Dragon Constellation had four stars, and he had already collected three items that could illuminate the stars. He was still missing one.
"Who should I ask for this one?"
Xiang Beifei held his chin, pondering.
Should he ask the principal for help again?
But it would be embarrassing to ask directly, he could not just burst into the principal's office and say, "Principal, send another two thousand prestige points, just for a gesture?"
Although Xiang Beifei felt he had thick skin, it wasn't to that extent.
But there was no rush now, even if he illuminated the Arrogant Dragon Constellation, he needed to increase his strength first.
Xiang Beifei continued cultivating the Chaos Yin-Yang Formula. His spiritual power had not yet fully ford. According to this pace, he should be able to reach the mid-stage of Qi-Controlling by the end of the month.
—
Xiang Beifei asked Lu Hong not to tell his grandfather about the attack; he did not want the old man to worry too much.
Lu Hong was a very responsible law enforcer. An alien canine had appeared and attacked his old friend's son within his managed area, yet he had not caught the suspect, feeling sowhat derelict in his duties. Therefore, he called every day to inquire about Xiang Beifei's condition and ensure his safety.
Apart from attending classes in school, Xiang Beifei practiced cultivation at ho every day without any slack.
On the third day after the attack, as Xiang Beifei was returning ho from school, he ran into Lu Hong, who seed to have been waiting for him outside the school gates.
"Uncle Lu." Xiang Beifei greeted.
Lu Hong took Xiang Beifei aside with a serious expression. After checking that no one else was around, he asked, "Beifei, you haven't encountered Xu Yang recently, have you?"
"No, what's the matter?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"I just wanted to make sure. Could you once again go over the details of what happened that day?" Lu Hong said.
"Didn't I explain it that day?"
"I need to be sure again. I'm currently investigating a case, and I suspect it might be related to your incident. That's why I have to check again."
Lu Hong looked sowhat tired, with bloodshot eyes, as if he hadn't slept for several days.
Xiang Beifei could only repeat what he had said at that ti.
After listening, Lu Hong's brows were tightly knitted.
"Is this case very tricky?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Yes—it is, but don't worry. You must be careful these days. Try not to walk alone, and make sure there are people around you."
Lu Hong fell silent for a mont before flipping his hand and pulling out an extrely thin vest. He placed the vest on Xiang Beifei, and it transford into a blue light and attached itself to Xiang Beifei's clothes.
"This Azure Light Armor will protect you from two mid-stage Qi-Controlling attacks, and the protection lasts for a month. If the person who attacked you that day and the person I'm currently looking for are the sa, then you must be cautious.
If you encounter Xu Yang who attacked you, just pound your chest to activate the bulletproof vest, and I will rush over within a minute!" Lu Hong said solemnly.
Xiang Beifei was sowhat surprised.
This Azure Light Armor, purchased by Lu Hong using his system values from the system store, was a type of system reward.
The Azure Light Armor, capable of withstanding mid-stage Qi-Controlling attacks, ant he had inadvertently collected all the spiritual power crystals needed to activate the Arrogant Dragon Constellation?
Xiang Beifei hadn't expected that the fourth spiritual power crystal would co this way.
"Regardless, I must capture that criminal myself and not let him harm anyone else."
Lu Hong seed to recall so past events and clenched his fist.
He gave Xiang Beifei this bulletproof vest mainly because he associated the current criminal with Xu Yang, so protecting Xiang Beifei was necessary if Xu Yang was the criminal he was chasing.
"Alright, thank you, Uncle Lu."
Xiang Beifei nodded.
The protection offered by the bulletproof vest was only for a month, but this was not important to Xiang Beifei.
He didn't need the protection of the Azure Light Armor, as it could only withstand mid-stage Qi-Controlling attacks, and he was confident in confronting such powers.
Xiang Beifei planned to fuse it into a spiritual power crystal.
After returning ho, he didn't hesitate, taking out the Azure Light Armor along with the Primordial Strengthening Pill, Qi Condensing Pill, and Forgetting Dust Pill. With the help of Xiaohei, he successfully activated the Arrogant Dragon Constellation in the Spirit Gathering Book.
[Arrogant Dragon Constellation: Divine Mud Breath Soil]
[From the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Gun Stole the Emperor's breath soil to stop the deluge]
[Ability: Soil that can grow indefinitely, it needs one's Spiritual Energy to nourish and grow]
Xiang Beifei looked at the thumb-sized piece of yellow mud in his hand, which was the Breath Soil.
According to Xiaohei, once the Breath Soil reached a certain quantity, it could transform into various special shapes, and it also possessed incredible hardness!
However, currently, the Breath Soil was still just a speck, and making it grow was a long and arduous task.
