Chapter 116: Martial Arts Class! Sakura Island Merchant?
Seventh Group’s cultivation room.
Bai Yu felt his body.
He discovered that after activating the Overlord’s Will, a mysterious energy had repaired the injuries on his body.
“Should I try to see if I can perform Heavenly Lightning Tempering now?”
Due to weather conditions, he could only use the power of the Scepter of Thunder now and couldn’t use actual heavenly lightning.
He saw currents flowing from the Scepter of Thunder, passing through the Third Page, and pouring into Bai Yu’s body.
There was indeed no stinging sensation!
However, when the intensity increased, he still felt some discomfort, so Bai Yu chose to maintain a moderate intensity and began tempering his body.
“It seems my current tolerance limit is only a quarter of what it was before. My body still needs to recuperate! But recovery shouldn’t be far off.”
“Once I’ve fully recovered, I must hold a Tribulation ceremony! Meow meow meow.”
“A strong physique is fundamental.”
“The reason I wasn’t crushed to death by the giant cauldron at the auction was, to some extent, because of this Heavenly Thunder Tempering Technique.”
He spent an hour tempering his body and two hours cultivating the Spiritual Art – Heavenly Thunder Summon.
Bai Yu let out a deep sigh, his eyes becoming brighter.
“This Heavenly Thunder Summon has three operational routes. The first one is very simple, an extremely thick bolt of lightning that unleashes extremely high single-target damage.”
“The second route releases a large number of lightning strikes within an area.”
“The third route creates a continuous Thunder Domain on the ground. When I was electrocuting fish in Cloud Lake back then, it was this method.”
“I should be able to use the first route in a few days. Its power should be immense!”
He glanced at the time; it was almost twelve o’clock, just seven minutes left. Perfect timing to check for new intelligence!
Room 401.
Bai Yu looked at the intelligence he had obtained today.
【Intelligence Value: 131】
【Intelligence 1（Gray）
Keyword: Spiritual Stone
Required Intelligence Value: 1】
【Intelligence 2（White）
Keyword: Jiang Yan’s Bloodline
Required Intelligence Value: 5】
【Intelligence 3（White）
Keyword: Martial Arts Class
Required Intelligence Value: 5】
【Intelligence 4（White）
Keyword: River Monster
Required Intelligence Value: 5】
Seeing the keywords for today’s intelligence, Bai Yu frowned.
“I need to deal with the Blood Pi Xiu problem today, but there’s no intelligence on it. It seems no accidents occurred! That’s good.”
“It’s just… there’s no information on the Black Blood Disease cases either?”
For some reason, he had a premonition that he needed to obtain Purple Intelligence to see the true face of the Black Demon Ancestor.
“If I want to hoard Purple Intelligence now, I can still spend 11 intelligence points.”
“Excluding Jiang Yan’s bloodline, I can indeed acquire them all.”
Spiritual Stones only require one intelligence point. He guessed it might be related to making money.
Because today, the oil futures contract expired, and he would likely receive over two million.
However, he was a man with a two-hundred-million-dollar bounced check now, so he didn’t care about that!
“With the current keyword being Spiritual Stone, does it mean I’ll be making money in the Extraordinary world?”
Spiritual Stones can be considered the gold of the Extraordinary world, essentially a base currency.
It’s definitely a profitable purchase!
“However, lately, after spending a lot of time with Professor Wang and the others, I’ve also heard about the prices in the Extraordinary world.”
“Currently, the concentration of Spiritual Energy worldwide is increasing, and there are more Spiritual Stones. But because Heaven and Earth Treasures are also increasing, the total volume of goods and currency is rising, so market fluctuations won’t be too significant.”
“Anyway, one intelligence point won’t get me anything particularly good. I’ll exchange for the Spiritual Stone intelligence first!”
【October 15, 2037
Donghai News Report – Extraordinary
Since the release of ‘****’, Spiritual Stone prices have soared in the past two months. Prices in various regions of the Ninth Administrative Region have surged by 22% to 45%. International Spiritual Stone prices have increased by approximately 48%.】
Bai Yu quickly scanned it, looking at the ‘****’ symbols, and really wanted to complain!
This was clearly big news, but unfortunately, you get what you pay for; he couldn’t see what had happened.
“The upward trend is quite strong. I’ll have Professor Wang go all-in on buying Spiritual Stones with the remaining 150 million.”
“Otherwise, such a large sum of money would be troublesome to operate with for ordinary world items, and it wouldn’t feel very stable.”
He then looked at the two new pieces of intelligence.
Martial Arts Class, River Monster!
He was definitely planning to acquire the intelligence on the River Monster.
As for the Martial Arts Class… what is that?
Is the Official sector planning to get back on track and start a nationwide cultivation initiative?
He couldn’t resist this thought and, after some consideration, ultimately chose to exchange for the Martial Arts Class intelligence.
Let me see what’s going on!

VI. Rebellion Incident Record
3. Incident Description:
During the Martial Arts Class team’s first practical mission, a sudden rebellion occurred.
During the rebellion, Qiany killed three students around him, using a strange power in combat.】
Qiany!
Bai Yu was even more curious that this guy actually fought against Zhang Youpeng.
“That kid Zhang Youpeng joined the Martial Arts Class too!?”
Didn’t they say it required high talent?
Thinking carefully, Zhang Youpeng had always claimed to have a bloodline, but no signs of it had appeared yet.
“That kid is amazing! Hahaha~”
It was like seeing his adopted son grow up, feeling quite gratified.
However, Lu Bu – Purple Gold Wristband?
So he really is an adopted son, huh!?
“I wonder if Qiany’s incident falls under the rebellion of Ancient God System cultivators mentioned in the Yin Messenger intelligence.”
“Regardless, with this news, I can help Zhang Youpeng out and put this Qiany in his place.”
Afterward, Bai Yu turned his attention to the next piece of intelligence about the River Monster.

Compiling Unit: Tianhai City Extraordinary Early Warning Research Institute
Compilation Date: August 30, 2037
I. Incident Overview
Recently, Binhai City, located about 100 kilometers east of Tianhai City, has been plagued by sea monsters. The sea monsters have invaded inland through the tributaries of Jiulong River, and some have entered the Qingyun River section within Tianhai City’s jurisdiction.
II. Sea Monster Species and Characteristics
Tide Demons, Mist Demons, Coral Demons, Sea Serpent Clan, Shrimp Soldiers.
III. Bridge Collision Incident
1. Incident Overview: On August 18th, a giant sea monster leaped out of the river and collided with the Second Cross-River Bridge in the western section of Qingyun River.】
There’s very little information; I feel like I overpaid.
“The most valuable part is these dozen or so types of sea monsters!”
“I heard that Binhai City is in a terrible state due to the sea monsters, and Tianhai City has plenty of its own problems right now.”
“Although the Great Purge Operation is starting now, the Black Blood Disease alone is difficult to handle.”
After understanding everything, Bai Yu quickly recorded the information and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
Training as usual.
In his previous life, he was actually quite lazy, but now, unconsciously, he could feel a strong sense of urgency.
Perhaps it was the death of Old Kong, or the crisis of the Black Blood Case.
But in any case, he was now seizing every minute and second, cultivating frantically!
In the canteen.
After the battle at the auction, Bai Yu had returned to a stable life of investigating cases with his teammates.
Li Yunbin was sharing the latest news as usual.
“The origin of that samurai sword has been traced to a merchant from the Eleventh Administrative Region. He’s currently missing, but at least there’s no record of him leaving the country.”
Bai Yu frowned, the Eleventh Administrative Region, the Neon Island Nation.
Their desire to destroy us is unceasing!
“As for the three people seriously injured in the car accident last night, they were all saved by extraordinary means. Regarding the follow-up, once Wu Yifei wakes up, along with the negligent auction party, it will be a tripartite negotiation. The three individuals should receive compensation exceeding ten million.”
Tens of millions!
In his previous life, this was simply impossible.
But now, in the Extraordinary world, it couldn’t buy too many things.
Ultimately, it would be a dispute between several parties, not something Bai Yu and the others were responsible for.
Since no one died this time, it was a good thing.
Taking advantage of the Captain mentioning the case, Bai Yu asked, “Captain, are there any developments with He Chenming and the other person?”
“The intercepted message indicates that they will have a major transaction with an unknown party in a week.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu thought: These two are quite good at using misdirection, making the Investigation Bureau believe it’s a week later.
Of course, he couldn’t be certain that those security guards were definitely involved with these two.
The information he currently had was: August 5, 2037, 23:55, security, Jianglin No. 4 Warehouse in the eastern suburbs, transaction of a Blood Qilin statue, Lizardman.
This area falls under the jurisdiction of the Dongjiang District.
Considering the increasingly tense situation recently, Bai Yu didn’t hold back and directly said, “Captain, I have a feeling they will make a move tonight.”
Li Yunbin, with tacit understanding, didn’t ask why and simply said, “Continue.”
“During the previous trip to Qingyuan Villa, besides the Blood Rage Flower, I also obtained additional information through divination: it seems a Spiritual Item will be born in the Spirit Garden, but not in the short term.”
“Today, my divination revealed the follow-up to this matter; that Spiritual Item is about to awaken.”
Upon hearing this, everyone caught a keyword.
“Spiritual Item?”
“Yes, I can’t determine what it is yet. However, Captain, you can monitor Spirit Garden Mountain Villa. They are very likely to transport it away tonight.”
“Alright. Spirit Garden Mountain Villa is already under strict surveillance. If there’s any activity tonight, we should catch them.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s mind went back.
In the original Fate Line, the authorities wouldn’t clear it out until August 20th.
This meant that even if they monitored this transaction, they wouldn’t catch them red-handed, and they would escape.
What made Bai Yu even more curious was whether He Chenming and Wei Wutao were truly the masterminds behind the Spiritual Material smuggling case recorded by the Soul Snatching Yin Messengers.
He always felt that this case was bigger than imagined!
Even if it involved He Chenming and the other two, there should be a much larger industrial chain behind them.
After Li Yunbin relayed the matter of Spirit Garden Mountain Villa to the Analysis Team, they began discussing the Black Blood Case they were currently handling.
This case had seen significant progress in just one night!
We will start recovering this major plot arc tomorrow. Therefore, I’m requesting a follow-up subscription.
