9: Encountering a bird of prey at night!

Ye Su hadn't paid attention to the new Cultivation Technique for the time being.

That was because knowing the state's attitude from Zhang Hui was very important!

"You need to register. For example, what controlled weapons you'll be carrying in the future. Registering can help avoid some trouble."

Zhang Hui said.

Ye Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

My Great Xia, your reaction is just too fierce.

Professional Management Regulations?

It hasn't even been 20 hours yet; this response is too fast.

"Brother Hui, what do you think they mean by this..."

From start to finish, Ye Su neither admitted nor denied anything; instead, he kept fishing for information.

Zhang Hui wasn't a dull person either.

He was a soldier of the new era, upholding the fine traditions of the Great Xia military while also being aware of the new trends of the times.

To put it simply:

Serious yet lively!

He could hear the underlying meaning in Ye Su's words, so he said:

"The world is changing, and we can't predict the future, but some people at the top feel that the future might rest on your shoulders."

"Therefore, you have been granted the rights of the new era."

"In official terms, it's a win-win cooperation."

"In terms of my own understanding: cooperation is mandatory."

Cooperation means being allies, overcoming difficulties together; no matter what the future holds, everyone is on the same front.

If you don't cooperate...

...it means that in the future, you will pose a threat to the nascent Great Xia civilization.

In that case, it would be perfectly reasonable to eliminate you early on.

After all, the ultimate question the higher-ups must consider is: Great Xia civilization must not be allowed to perish in this disaster!

Use every possible method and means to survive!

"Cooperation, cooperation, of course we'll cooperate," Ye Su said, nodding.

Now he finally knew why the letter from the future didn't mention the attitude between himself and the authorities.

Because there was no need; cooperation was an inevitable path, and the only path.

Anything not forbidden by law is permitted!

His conflict with Quiet Rain had already revealed the official attitude:

"You Professionals can do your own thing, but you must not disrupt Order."

"Since we've reached an agreement, I'll be your Liaison Officer from now on," Zhang Hui said with a sigh of relief.

After he reported the decline in gunpowder combustion efficiency, the higher-ups responded.

They told him about Professionals and gave him this task.

Currently, nationwide, a large number of Professionals were being registered and integrated into the Liaison Officer system.

This could be considered a completed task entrusted to him by the higher-ups.

"So, do I have any missions?"

Ye Su asked.

Rights and obligations go hand in hand.

The authorities are clearly giving you enough rights, so you must also undertake the corresponding obligations.

"No missions," Zhang Hui said.

"If there's any requirement at all, it's—"

"Get stronger as fast as possible, preferably like those novels I read before joining the army."

"Suppress all enemies of an era!"

As he spoke...

...Zhang Hui patted Ye Su on the shoulder.

He waved his hand and turned to leave.

Ye Su shrugged; there was no doubt that this was full of pressure.

He looked up at the sky.

Night had just fallen.

It seemed...

...that human civilization was also beginning to enter its own dark night.

"Sigh, I have to work hard."

Ye Su lamented.

"Stop blabbering and run—!"

Suddenly...

...a loud shout.

Zhang Hui, who was just about to leave, came running back in a frantic rush.

Ye Su was stunned, then he saw the dark mass behind Zhang Hui.

"Holy crap, what is that?"

Ye Su rushed forward a few steps, grabbed Zhang Hui, and then turned to run.

With his Physique, if he didn't pull Zhang Hui along, the man would soon be swallowed by that dark mass.

"It's birds... specifically... sparrows!"

Zhang Hui used Ye Su's momentum to sprint forward.

He said while gasping for air.

Sparrows flocking together was actually pretty damn reasonable.

It's just that these things were now as big as eagles, which was super unreasonable.

"Find a place to hide," Zhang Hui said.

"Their habits haven't completely changed yet; they don't dare enter buildings."

Ye Su nodded.

It was already night, and Zhang Hui was almost half-blind.

Everything depended on Ye Su.

It was probably too late to get back to his own room.

The fluttering sounds behind them were getting closer; flying animals were indeed fast.

Then he would just rush into any building.

This was a residential complex anyway.

Bang!

Ye Su made a sharp turn, and Zhang Hui was almost pulled off his feet.

With a kick, he burst through the residential building's fire door and pulled Zhang Hui inside.

As expected.

The animals' habits hadn't completely changed.

The sparrows flocked outside, but they didn't dare enter human structures.

The two were immediately out of danger.

Ye Su's forehead was slightly sweaty, while Zhang Hui bent over, hands on his knees, gasping for air.

No joke.

The speed at which Ye Su had pulled him could have made him the absolute king of the 100-meter dash.

Even with the help, Zhang Hui's heart was pounding like a drum.

Having caught his breath, Zhang Hui immediately took out his phone to report the news.

Mutated Birds of Prey flocking together and attacking humans was a major event.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Su began to review the Cultivation Technique he had just obtained.

[Tai Xuan Scripture]

[Introduction: A cultivation method that can effectively circulate the Qi and blood in the body, allowing them to proliferate rapidly.]

Uh-huh.

Good stuff.

The Professional system is a cultivation system, as seen from the fact that Martial Arts need to be practiced by oneself.

A cultivation method like this should be considered a core Cultivation Technique in the entire cultivation system.

Because it can constantly convert and generate Qi and blood, and the strength of Qi and blood will gradually strengthen oneself and increase all attributes.

It's temporarily safe, so let's try this technique.

With that said...

...Ye Su sat cross-legged and began to circulate the Tai Xuan Scripture.

"The mysteries of heaven and earth begin with Tai Xuan; Qi moves like a wandering Dragon, meridians penetrate the whole body, blood casts Vajra, Qi swallows—"

Something profoundly mysterious.

It was hard for Ye Su to understand.

But Professionals are different from traditional cultivators.

Once a Martial Art enters a Martial Art slot, it becomes very easy to get started when activated.

The Martial Art slot is like an old master stationed in the body, guiding you through the basics.

Thus...

...the incomprehensible Tai Xuan Scripture began to circulate just like that.

Qi and blood proliferated, blood flow throughout the body accelerated, and his heart beat like a giant drumming; the immense pressure forced the blood flow to speed up constantly.

At this moment, Ye Su's Qi and blood were abundant, his body temperature rose, and wisps of mist from evaporated sweat rose from the top of his head.

And Qi and blood continued to proliferate in this surging bodily environment.

Following the blood flow, it began to strengthen his body's functions.

[Physique +1]

A soft sound.

Upon his first circulation of the Tai Xuan Scripture, Ye Su's Physique actually increased by one point.

"This technique—it's too strong!"

"At this rate, the speed at which I temper my body's bones and blood will be faster, and I will become even more powerful."

Ye Su thought to himself.

One's own body is the Foundation of everything.

No matter what Martial Arts or skills they are, they ultimately rely on the body for support.

Without the body, everything is nothing.

"Ahem..."

Zhang Hui hung up the phone and gave a light cough.

He likely had something to say.
