Dai Hong didn’t know what Li Jing was expecting, he only took his sudden exclamation as eagerness to find and punish the Evil Cultivators right away.
He naturally had an idea about why Li Jing agreed to temporarily work for the Major Cri Unit Six.
The one million reward was sothing he purposefully brought up, was he not aware this was for the money?
However, Dai Hong admired Li Jing’s "enthusiasm".
"The more serious the situation, the less we can afford to panic. We don’t need to rush the detailed arrangents."
Dai Hong spoke up.
"Your ability to cultivate the Spiritual Strike to the point where it can kill a One Realm monster shows you have patience and discernnt. Coupled with your exceptional observation skills, I look forward to your performance in this case. I will discuss the temporary transfer with your superior later. You’re quite familiar with Yuran. During your ti in Major Cri Unit Six, you will partner with her. Let her take the lead and don’t be impulsive."
"Understood."
Li Jing replied, his face severe, but sothing felt wrong inside him.
He didn’t expect Dai Hong to praise him so highly, and it surprised him.
Teaming up with Chen Yuran was not a problem for him.
What puzzled him was...
Considering the implications hidden in Dai Hong’s words, it seed that he was "interested" in him largely because of the Spiritual Strike.
How did learning a Spiritual Strike show great patience and discernnt?
This person...
Sothing seed off!
By logical reasoning...
Spiritual Strike, however poor it may be, is still a Second Realm Attack thod.
Though its power is small, its lethal force is indeed there.
Assuming the Rat Demon was completely unguarded, anyone could employ a Spiritual Strike and, with even a rudintary level of skill, potentially kill it by surprise.
His Great Perfection Spiritual Strike likely just made the Rat Demon’s death a bit cleaner.
When Chen Yuran learned from Dai Hong that Li Jing had used a Spiritual Strike to kill the Rat Demon, she was slightly taken aback and looked a bit strange.
Just now, she wondered why Dai Hong took an interest in Li Jing.
Now she understood.
Anyone familiar with Dai Hong knew that the head of the Major Cri Unit Six was a freak who was extrely obsessed with Spiritual Strike, managing to cultivate this Second Realm Magic Skill to the Great Perfection Level.
The Spiritual Strike, being both powerful and affordable, can’t be considered as unpopular.
But many people learned it just for show, without getting into practical use.
Dai Hong was different.
Not only did he cultivate Spiritual Strike to Great Perfection, he also ca up with many unique skills and even used it in the Jianghai City patrol skill exchange competition to defeat a group of Four Realm cultivators.
No one could deny his mastery in this alone.
Dai Hong himself was a Four Realm cultivator.
But to defeat the Four Realm using a Second Realm Magic was extrely difficult.
Yet he managed to do so...
Looking at Li Jing again, Chen Yuran couldn’t help but be curious.
Li Jing must have learned Spiritual Strike recently.
She had recently heard from Li Jing himself that he had only learned one attack magic skill - Palm Thunder.
For Li Jing to earn Dai Hong’s admiration for his use of Spiritual Strike, he must have done sothing unique. Otherwise, he would not have caught Dai Hong’s attention.
Though she was curious, Chen Yuran didn’t dwell on it.
Because in her view, Li Jing was a freak, no less than Dai Hong.
Being able to single-mindedly cultivate the Second Realm Palm Thunder to Great Perfection, and produce such great and powerful strikes, he must have so unique techniques and insights similar to Dai Hong’s use of Spiritual Strike.
With these two freaks together, what could a normal person like her understand about what they were doing?
Seeing that neither Li Jing nor Chen Yuran objected to the arrangent, Dai Hong turned to Chen Yuran and asked:
"How is it going with Chief Yang?"
"The fourteen corpses inside are all the sa. Their bodies are shrunken and hollowed out. Apart from the possibility that it might be related to the Evil Cultivator case half a year ago, there’s not much else to note."
Chen Yuran replied.
"Currently, Chief Yang is attempting to take samples to confirm the identities of the victims through biological thods."
"Alright, Yuran, you stay here and keep an eye on things. Let know imdiately once there are results."
Having said this, Dai Hong waved and summoned his flying sword.
"I’ll take a trip back to the departnt. I need to talk to the director in person about the situation. Once everything is done here, you’ll bring Li Jing back with my team."
Having said that, he flew up towards the sky.
Watching him, Chen Yuran turned to look at Li Jing.
"Would you like to go in with , or...?"
"I’ll wait for you outside."
Li Jing agreed, saying.
"I have been temporarily transferred to the Major Cri Unit 6, I need to explain to my two colleagues."
"Okay."
Chen Yuran nodded and instructed.
"Don’t say what you shouldn’t."
Watching Chen Yuran enter the seafood restaurant, Li Jing looked at Lu Yangcheng and Yi Xiuzhu.
Finally, when he separated from the group, the two n took the opportunity to co closer.
They had wanted to co and ask, but Li Jing was surrounded by Chen Yuran and Dai Hong.
Ignoring Chen Yuran who ca out of the seafood restaurant.
Dai Hong was obviously the leader of those on duty, and his status was high. They did not dare to interrupt him rashly.
Especially when the three were talking, they deliberately controlled the volu to avoid other peoples’ ears, it was necessary for them to know their place.
One on his left and one on his right, Lu Yangcheng quietly asked.
"Who was the person leading the team ...?"
"The team lead of the Major Cri Unit 6, Dai Hong."
Li Jing answered honestly.
"The...Major Cri Unit?"
Lu Yangcheng’s eyes darted repeatedly.
Not to ntion the sudden killing of a rat by Li Jing.
With so many patrolling officers arriving all of a sudden, anyone who wasn’t a fool could sense sothing was wrong.
But he did not expect that these patrolling officers were from the Major Cri Unit.
Yi Xiuzhu also took a back when he found out about Dai Hong’s identity, and asked in a low voice.
"What’s the situation inside? Is it convenient to explain in detail?"
"As for the details, I don’t know much either."
Li Jing replied.
"Based on the judgent of the two patrolling officers who arrived early, the case seems to be done by Evil Cultivators and might be related to a case in North City half a year ago."
"Evil Cultivators!"
Lu Yangcheng’s already wide eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.
Yi Xiuzhu’s deanor didn’t change, still maintaining his typical indifferent look.
"I rember the Evil Cultivators case half a year ago, it caused quite a commotion in entire Jianghai city. The case was left unsolved and the Cultivator who committed the cri managed to escape."
After recounting in a low voice, he looked back for confirmation.
"The patrollers think the two cases are related, did they find a connection at the scene?"
"There is indeed so connection, but currently, it’s only a speculation."
Li Jing spoke and waved his hand to stop further discussion on the topic.
"I can’t share more details with you two. I was just drafted by Captain Dai. I’ll be temporarily joining the Major Cri Unit 6 to help with the case. Until this case is solved, you two will have to take over the patrolling responsibilities of Heavenly King Group."
?
Yi Xiuzhu looked confused.
Lu Yangcheng at one side expressed his disbelief.
"Are you mad? You, a Second Realm investigator, mingling around with a Major Cri Unit?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Yi Xiuzhu raised his hand to silence him, then frowned and asked Li Jing.
"Did you volunteer to join, or...?"
"I volunteered."
Li Jing shrugged.
Yi Xiuzhu nodded silently.
Seeing this, Li Jing chuckled silently and looked at Lu Yangcheng.
"Yang Cheng, don’t worry about . I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can take care of myself. The new mber assessnt is coming in seven days, make sure you prepare well for it. I don’t want to return to find out that our Heavenly King Group is missing a mber. Also, tonight, you and Deng Ying ..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Yangcheng interrupted him.
"Can you stop being such a worrywart? Look after yourself!"
He added grumpily.
"You volunteer to join the Major Cri Unit 6 dealing with the Evil Cultivators case, how do you wish to breathe easy? This is a dangerous situation, take care of yourself."
