Stronger with Crimson Modifier-Chapter 65: Zhu Xi

"Possessing Qi Blood Power means you have become a true Secret Martial Artist.

According to the rules, there are some things I must inform you of. Come with me!"

The shock on Wang Luo’s face had already faded. He waved his hand, signaling for Hu Qi to follow him.

Hu Qi’s eyes glinted, and he followed closely behind.

Inside the training room, everyone who saw this looked at each other in dismay.

Although Hu Qi had only revealed his Qi Blood Power for a brief moment, quite a few people had still seen it.

"Damn, is that for real? He developed Qi Blood Power that fast? All I’ve gotten so far is numb legs from standing. I haven’t felt a thing."

"Didn’t they say it takes an average of one month to cultivate Qi and Blood? This is just ridiculous."

"Does anyone know what that handsome guy’s name is? I want to get to know him."

...

After seeing this, some began to doubt their own lives.

Others started asking for Hu Qi’s name. A few of the female students stared at his departing figure, their eyes shining.

Over the past few days, everyone had come to understand a certain amount about the power of this core class—that is, the power of the Shexin Sect.

Combined with the information Wang Luo had previously shared, they now understood what it meant to cultivate Qi and Blood in just seven days.

They understood that, barring any accidents, this person would one day become an existence they could only look up to.

In the crowd,

Sims watched this happen, his expression growing uglier. His hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched as a sense of powerless despair rose in his heart.

’Damn it...’

He wanted to start practicing the Snake Form Posture, but he couldn’t concentrate.

...

Hu Qi was unaware of what happened after he left.

He followed Wang Luo downstairs and got into his car.

The car started and drove off.

Along the way, Hu Qi asked where they were going, but Wang Luo didn’t explain, only saying they would talk when they arrived.

Hearing this, Hu Qi said no more.

They soon left Anshan Academy, crossed two streets, and the car turned into a place called the Anshan Science and Technology Park.

The park was huge.

Its area was almost equivalent to that of a small town.

Dozens of buildings of varying heights stood evenly distributed within it.

Among them, the most eye-catching was a skyscraper eighty or ninety stories high. From the outside, its overall appearance was like a massive, exquisitely carved white obelisk that reached for the heavens.

The skyscraper’s surface was made of a new material as white and smooth as marble, with almost no visible seams, as if it were a single, seamless creation.

The skyscraper stood there, its immense size and height making it particularly conspicuous compared to the surrounding buildings.

Surrounding the skyscraper were several buildings resembling lecture halls, their facades made of silvery-gray metal panels and light-blue glass, giving them an extremely high-tech feel.

There were spacious pathways between the buildings, flanked by lush green plants.

In the very center was a fountain, its entire basin built of white stone, with clear water flowing.

Hu Qi had seen this skyscraper from a distance before, when he first arrived by bus.

After the two got out of the car, they walked straight toward the skyscraper. As they passed the fountain, a fine mist settled on their skin, bringing a faint chill.

Inside the skyscraper, there were very few people, only a few staff members cleaning.

The two of them came to an elevator.

They entered the elevator, and after swiping a black card, it began to rise slowly, the floor number climbing steadily.

Soon, the elevator stopped on the seventieth floor.

After the two stepped out of the elevator, the staff they passed all stopped what they were doing to greet Wang Luo.

"Captain Wang, bringing in a rookie?"

Wang Luo responded to each of them with a smile and a nod.

After receiving Wang Luo’s confirmation, the way these people looked at Hu Qi immediately changed.

After all, the new core class had apparently only started a few days ago.

Hu Qi followed behind, his interest piqued. As his gaze swept over them, he noticed that when these people walked, their center of gravity was evenly distributed.

Their arms swung naturally in coordination with their steps, and their overall movements were fluid, without any extraneous swaying.

This undoubtedly proved that these people all had, to some extent, a foundation in combat.

Soon, they arrived at an office.

The room was sparse, with only a desk and chair by the window, a desktop computer on it, and a water cooler in the corner.

"Have a seat."

Wang Luo gestured to a nearby chair.

After Hu Qi sat down, Wang Luo filled a cup with water and pushed it in front of him.

"Thank you!"

Hu Qi said, but he didn’t reach for it.

Wang Luo didn’t mind.

He took a stack of A4 paper from a drawer, placed it on the desk, and then pushed it in front of Hu Qi.

"Take a look. You can ask if you have any questions. If it all looks fine, then sign it."

Hu Qi looked down and saw a line of large characters written on top.

*Zhu Xi Confidentiality Manual and Application for Membership*

"This is?"

Hu Qi’s eyes flickered, and he cast a questioning look at Wang Luo.

Wang Luo was clearly used to this situation and immediately began to explain.

"Zhu Xi is a violent organization established by the Xia Federation, with a presence throughout the entire nation.

Its purpose is specifically to deal with the human-eating Black Blood Species.

Due to the bizarre traits of the Black Blood Species, ordinary people have almost no chance against them, even when fully armed, unless they use firearms.

However, since the Black Blood Species need to feed on humans, they would never go to vast, uninhabited areas. Most of them hide in human population centers—that is, within major cities.

Using firearms within a city is subject to many restrictions, making it impossible to unleash their full power. It also risks collateral damage to ordinary citizens and harming the innocent.

Therefore, Zhu Xi is composed almost entirely of Secret Martial Artists who have mastered Qi Blood Power. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Only Secret Martial Artists possess the high mobility needed to move through cities and hunt these monsters from the Inner Earth World.

In this process, the roles of prey and hunter are not fixed. While Black Blood Species die, the number of Secret Martial Artists also constantly dwindles.

Thus, a constant supply of fresh blood is needed.

This is why the major Schools have been granted the authority to open clubs or martial arts dojos, recruit large numbers of students, and train Secret Martial Artists."

At this, Hu Qi recalled the information he had read in the basic information manual. The Sect Leader of the Shexin Sect, whom he had never met, seemed to hold the title of Zhu Xi’s Donglin Province Chapter President.

"Then why doesn’t the Federation just publicly release the Cultivation Methods for Secret Martial Artists and start a nationwide cultivation program? Wouldn’t that be more efficient?"

Hu Qi looked at the contract in his hands and voiced his question.

’Only by breaking the limits of the human body and cultivating Qi and Blood can one be called a Secret Martial Artist.

Such people are rare, but with humanity’s massive population, even if only one in ten thousand were chosen, the total would still be a considerable number—far more efficient than the current method.’

"The higher-ups have naturally considered your idea. Secret Martial Artists are not a recent phenomenon."

Wang Luo let out a laugh at his words.

"But have you ever considered that all Secret Martial Artist Cultivation Methods are the guarded secrets of their respective Schools?

For example, what we are practicing is just the outermost Pile Skill of the Shexin Sect.

As for the true core, the Inheritance Secret Martial Arts, it is only personally taught by the Sect Leader after a candidate has met the requirements and passed a strict review and observation period.

So, getting the various Schools to just hand over their Inheritance Secret Martial Arts for everyone in the world to practice together? That’s simply impossible."
