I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Yu Xinghe had lost his life. Xu Ning suddenly felt a little fortunate.

Thank god he had upgraded his Source Breath Bodybuilding Tactic to the intermediate realm. It had strengthened his body while also improving his perception sensitivity.

Otherwise, he might have been eliminated by Yu Xinghe today.

Xu Ning squatted down and touched Yu Xinghe’s neck.

Xu Ning laughed at himself. It was simply unnecessary for him to check. Yu Xinghe’s heart was mangled, so there was no way he could still be alive.

But after confirming that Yu Xinghe was dead, Xu Ning suddenly felt a little regretful.

If Yu Xinghe was still alive, he would be able to torture him for information.

But after thinking about it in depth, Xu Ning felt that he was right.

Xu Ning learned that Yu Xinghe was already stuck in the inner enrichment realm ten years ago, unable to improve any further.

There were only a small number of people in this world who could continuously break barriers and advance further. For most people, once they reached a certain realm, they would stop advancing.

However, although he knew that Yu Xinghe was an inner enrichment warrior, Xu Ning was not certain about Yu Xinghe’s external skill realm.

For most people, once they were not able to further improve their internal skill, they would turn their attention to their external skills.

For the clan elders in Tao Village, their internal skills were continuously improving. They either specialized in the Gale Knife Technique or in the Fierce Sword Wind technique, but very few of them had cultivated these two techniques to the perfection realm.

Xu Ning did not know what external skill realm Yu Xinghe had reached over the past ten years.

In order to ensure his absolute safety and to prevent a fight to the death, Xu Ning seized the opportunity, instantly killing Yu Xinghe before he could react.

Although this would prevent him from gaining more information, this had at least ensured his safety.

‘I wonder if there are others from Dayuan Trading Company that want to kill me…’

Xu Ning had some worries in his heart.

Xu Ning was still ignorant of the happenings in the county city. He didn’t even know that, except for Yu Xinghe, the rest of the Dayuan Trading Company employees in Kangyun County City were either arrested or killed.

He even didn’t know that Duan Yihe had fled Kangyun County.

“I’ll wait for follow-up news…”

Xu Ning didn’t hesitate anymore. He immediately called for the city guard who patrolled at night.

When the city guard saw the corpse on the ground and heard that Xu Ning was targeted, they were all frightened.

Although with Yu Xinghe’s skill, he could easily escape the camp. Nevertheless, it was still the city guard’s responsibility to keep the camp safe.

Fortunately, Xu Ning didn’t blame them. He just asked the city guards to carry away Yu Xinghe’s body and clean the floor. He then went back to his room and fell asleep.

…

Ten days had passed since the Dayuan Trading Company incident.

Over the past ten days, many changes had taken place in Kangyun County.

First of all, Cai Qinghan was removed from his post in the Black Armored Guards. Although he did not know the existence of the Seven Line Gates, he was removed because he was involved with Dayuan Trading Company, and was thus sent back to Yunying City for further punishment.

The vacant captain position of Camp Site One was taken over by Ning Fengwen, the former captain of the personal guards. Ning Fengwen now directly reported to Master Wei Changqing.

Secondly, all shops related to Dayuan Trading Company were investigated.

These shops would later be taken over by other chambers of commerce or businessmen in the form of auctions.

This process would be personally supervised by Master Wei Changqing to prevent a similar incident from happening again.

Due to various reasons, Wei Changqing just wanted to spend a few years in Kangyun County, but because of Dayuan Trading Company’s incident, he was now forced to stay in Kangyun County.

Now that ten days have gone by, Kangyun County had basically been restored to normality.

The streets of the county city were full of people.

Of course, this did not include Maple Lane.

The Dayuan Trading Company shops on Maple Lane had not been resold yet, so there were barely any people on the commercial street.

Because they were involved with Dayuan Trading Company, Chen Ren, Pan Du, and others were dismissed from their posts and sent back to Yunying City.

As a result, Xu Ning became the only Black Armored Guard in the Maple Lane Black Armored Guards Post.

During this period of time, the details of the Dayuan Trading Company incident were gradually disclosed.

Xu Ning also knew that apart from Duan Yihe and Yu Xinghe, no one else had escaped punishment.

Yu Xinghe was dealt with by Xu Ning personally, and Duan Yihe had fled with the Seven Line Gates to god knows where. Duan Yihe would definitely not come back.

Hence, Xu Ning would not have to worry about his own safety.

Xu Ning began to experience the most relaxing time he had had since arriving at Kangyun County.

Xu Ning’s duty was now over, and he returned to the camp.

Before entering the camp gates, Xu Ning was informed by the city guard that Qu Dayou had asked to see him.

Xu Ning was a little surprised.

Ever since the Dayuan Trading Company incident, Qu Dayou had been too busy to even visit the camp.

Now, ten days later, he had finally returned.

When Xu Ning saw Qu Dayou, he noticed that his beard was long and his hair was messy. He had obviously not taken care of himself for a long time.

However, contrary to his appearance, Qu Dayou’s mental state was good.

Qu Dayou was in a good mood after he sorted out Dayuan Trading Company and Cai Qinghan.

“Master.”

Xu Ning greeted.

“You’re here.”

Qu Dayou looked at Xu Ning with a smile on his face. “How are you doing? Comfortable?”

Xu Ning paused for a second and said, “I am working hard at practicing martial arts all day, preparing for the assessment. It’s hardly comfortable.”

Qu Dayou laughed. “That’s more comfortable than most of us!”

“Obviously, the Dayuan Trading Company incident started because of you, but you were the one that experienced the least amount of hardship.”

Xu Ning smiled and did not respond.

Qu Dayou put on a serious face. “Xu Ning, do you remember what I said before? I said before that you will be the first lieutenant in Camp Site Three once the Dayuan Trading Company incident is over.”

“Lieutenant…”

Xu Ning was really excited about the position of lieutenant.

What excited him was not the power brought by the lieutenant title, but the higher monthly salary and subsidies.

“But…”

Qu Dayou said, “I never expected that the matter of Dayuan Trading Company would be solved so suddenly. You did not even have time to reach the qi realm, so we’ll have to put you off the lieutenant position for now.”

Xu Ning felt a little disappointed.

But he also knew that Qu Dayou was right.

There were regulations within the Black Armored Guards. If he wanted to be promoted to a lieutenant, he first had to reach mortal realm fourth stage qi realm.

So right now, he was not qualified.

Seeing that Xu Ning was rather disappointed, Qu Dayou suddenly changed his tone, “Although you are not qualified to be promoted to lieutenant directly, you can still be promoted to acting lieutenant.”

“Acting lieutenant?”

Xu Ning was confused.

“An acting lieutenant can exercise all the powers of a lieutenant and assume all the duties of a lieutenant. However, an acting lieutenant is still a guard, and is not granted the monthly salary and subsidies of a lieutenant.”

Qu Dayou explained to Xu Ning.

When Xu Ning heard this, he had a headache.

What he cared about was the benefits of being a lieutenant.

An acting lieutenant obviously had no improvements in benefits, but carried more responsibility instead.

Xu Ning was already thinking about how to refuse the acting lieutenant position.

“What? Not satisfied?”

Qu Dayou noticed Xu Ning’s intentions.

Xu Ning said, “Master, after all, I just came to the Black Armored Guards not long ago, and my qualifications…”

“Qualifications? You are the best among Camp Site Three!”

Xu Ning was interrupted by Qu Dayou before he could finish speaking.

Qu Dayou said, “You put a lot of energy into the Dayuan Trading Company incident. Because of you, we discovered the secrets of Dayuan Trading Company and Seven Line Gates… And, a few days ago, you also cleaned up Yu Xinghe. Who else is comparable to you in this camp?”

“Enough talking, it’s decided.”

Qu Dayou waved his hand, gesturing to Xu Ning to stop talking.

Seeing this, Xu Ning could only agree.

“Master, as an acting lieutenant, am I responsible for our camp or for Maple Lane?”

Xu Ning asked.

“Maple Lane.”

Qu Dayou quickly responded.
