Chapter 103 - 95: I Walk the Path Alone
Chapter 103: Chapter 95: I Walk the Path Alone
In the practice room, Li Fei soon awaited the arrival of Hao Yi and began training.
His Mind Power had gained a substantial boost after last night’s slaughtering, bringing him one step closer to “Breaking Heart Barrier”!
The enhancement of the Mind Power directly affected the Steel Armor Implant inside his body, causing the Implant to become restless again.
After consuming a large amount of Elixirs at once and digesting them overnight, Li Fei’s Realm had improved once again!
The standard for the Body Breaking Middle Stage is the ability to activate the implant’s power ten times in a short period, but by now, Li Fei could use “Overlord Body” twenty-one times consecutively in a short period!
Generally speaking, warriors in the Body Breaking Late Stage could activate the Implant thirty to forty times before exhausting their physical strength; hence, Li Fei was not far from a breakthrough to the Body Breaking Late Stage.
The method of “Breaking Heart Barrier” combined with the advantage brought by the Myriad Blood Pearl made Li Fei’s rate of breakthrough nothing short of remarkable!
As the Steel Armor Implant had further strengthened, bringing an increase to his physique, his Blood Soul count had also increased, gaining one more overnight:
[Rank: 8th Rank 76%
Blood Soul: 86
Blood Soul Skill: Blood Rage, Blood Slaughter]
Li Fei’s Blood Soul cap had now reached 86, not far from its next upgrade.
According to the pattern of increased Blood Soul count after previous upgrades, the next upgrade should add 16 Blood Souls at once, and he would then have over 100 in total!

“When the Blood Soul count exceeded 20 and then 50, it unlocked new Blood Soul Skills. I wonder what will happen when it exceeds 100?”
Li Fei looked forward to it with great anticipation.
In the practice room, he and Hao Yi began “Perception Training” and “Strength Training” again.
After a further enhancement of the Steel Armor Implant, even without using “Overlord Body,” Li Fei’s perceptive abilities were exceptionally strong, managing to predict Hao Yi’s blade strikes and block them precisely while blindfolded and with ears blocked.
After about fifteen minutes, Hao Yi sheathed his sword, satisfied, saying,
“Not bad, you’re progressing very quickly.”
Li Fei, with his ears still blocked, did not hear his words and maintained a defensive posture.
Hao Yi let out a slight smile, and then his gaze sharpened, falling on Li Fei’s left shoulder.
Sensing danger, Li Fei immediately raised his sword to block, but it was a feint, and Hao Yi instead struck at Li Fei’s right shoulder.
Whoosh—
This time Li Fei couldn’t block in time and was cut on the skin.
Afterward, Hao Yi repeatedly used false aggression to provoke Li Fei into reacting, then striking him with precision.
In just a dozen seconds or so, Li Fei had several cuts on his body.
Fortunately, his Steel Armor Implant had grown to a certain extent, and the bleeding from these wounds would stop in the blink of an eye, with the cuts healing within a few hours.
This was also a form of training for the Steel Armor Implant.
“Alright, let’s stop here.”
This time, Hao Yi’s voice pierced through the cotton and reached Li Fei’s ears.
Li Fei removed his blindfold and took the cotton from his ears, looking at Hao Yi,
“Teacher?”
“What did you feel just now?”
“You deceived me with false aggression, Teacher.”
“Uh-huh, could you distinguish between real and fake?”
“…It was difficult.”
“Indeed, it’s difficult. So what you need to do is not to focus on discerning the truth of each hostile intent but to take note of my overall state and movements, not just my aggression.”
“I understand.”
“Then let’s continue.”
Inside the room, Li Fei began a new round of training.
It had to be said, having a good teacher was immensely important for the cultivation of Martial Arts.
Li Fei owed his current strength to the Myriad Blood Pearl as the primary factor, but Hao Yi also played an indispensable role.
Of course, this could not happen without his own talent and efforts.
After finishing a day of training, Li Fei suddenly asked Hao Yi,
“Teacher, have you heard about what happened at the Market Entrance today? I heard many people in the Martial Arts Hall discussing it when I went for lunch.”
Hao Yi shook his head, “Haven’t heard, what’s it?”
Li Fei then briefly recounted the incident at the Market Entrance and the contents of the wooden plaques.
Hao Yi listened to Li Fei’s account in silence, his expression not changing much.
“Teacher, what’s your take on the Green-faced Ghost?”
Li Fei watched Hao Yi’s expression, asking with some anticipation.
Hao Yi spoke seriously, word by word,
“To act above the law, to disrespect legal authority, to cause chaos with martial power—if such individuals were to multiply, it would surely lead to the collapse of the legal system, instability, a country in name only!”
“…”
Although he knew his teacher to be a very “orderly” person, otherwise he would not have personally captured his own student back then, hearing Hao Yi’s opinion on the Green-faced Ghost still left Li Fei feeling disappointed.
“Teacher, don’t you think those people deserved to die?”
Li Fei inquired.
Hao Yi stared into his eyes, “Whether they deserve death is not for an individual to decide, the court has its own laws!”
A spark of anger flared in Li Fei’s heart as he faced Hao Yi,
“May I ask the teacher, when those officials were corrupt and treated lives as grass, where was the court’s law then?”
Hao Yi’s tone also grew stern,
“You’ve rashly judged those deceased officials to be in the wrong based on hearsay. Have you gathered evidence yourself? Even if those officials did do wrong, and this time the Green-faced Ghost killed the right people, what about next time? If such actions go unchecked, will there then be a Blue-faced Ghost or a Red-faced Ghost who can fabricate evidence and then freely slaughter people?!”
