121: Chapter 121 Investigation Bureau!!

Looking at the young faces in the audience, the anger in Fang Yan's chest gradually subsided.

It was replaced by a complex emotion, a deep weariness intertwined with a sliver of hope.

He didn't say anything more, just gave the crowd a deep look.

Then, dragging his broken arm, with an indescribable sense of desolation and loneliness, he slowly turned and left the classroom.

The slightly heavy sound of his footsteps seemed to strike against everyone's heart.

...

After the morning classes and alchemy matters concluded, Qin Yan returned to the villa estate.

Sitting on the living room sofa, Qin Yan activated his smart bracelet and connected to Modu University of Martial Arts's internal mission system.

A projection unfolded before his eyes, and he immediately began filtering tasks.

"Mission Type: Extermination (Cultists/Unlawful Martial Artists)"

"Target Power Range: first grade Peak — Second-Grade Early Stage"

"Mission Location: Modu City and its immediate surrounding areas"

He deeply understood the principle that sharpening the axe does not delay the chopping of wood.

For his initial missions, he must prioritize safety, first adapting to the true rhythm of life-and-death combat and accumulating experience.

Aiming too high might plunge him into an inescapable abyss.

Soon, a list of missions meeting the filter criteria refreshed one by one:

...

Qin Yan's gaze swept over each piece of mission information.

Analyzing the strength characteristics, danger level, and feasibility of each target.

Finally, his gaze settled on the Zhang Tu case.

"Second-Grade Early Stage, recently broken through, low number of tempered bones, meaning his Qi and Blood shouldn't be much stronger than mine, maybe even weaker.

Also, under the same Yangpu District Branch jurisdiction, closest to the school, convenient for action."

After comprehensive consideration, this Zhang Tu seemed to be the most suitable "whetstone" for his first real combat experience.

"This is the one." Qin Yan hesitated no longer and accepted the mission.

"Mission accepted successfully."

"Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the Yangpu District Investigation Bureau Branch to get the detailed information."

As for this afternoon, he would stick to his original plan and head to the training room to continue honing his Spear Technique and consolidating his newly broken-through realm.

When night fell, Qin Yan finished his day of arduous cultivation, summoned his personal panel, and checked today's gains:

[Level: Second-Grade Early Stage]

[Bone Forging: 1 Bone]

[Qi and Blood: 251 Cal]

[spirit: 57 Hz]

[Martial Technique: Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear Second Revolution (16%)]

[Spear Technique: Third Stage (96%)]

[Alchemy: First-Grade Alchemist (34%)]

(Second-Grade Alchemist: Unlocks at 7 Hz spirit)

[Skill Points: 8 Points]

[Note: As long as you work hard, you will gain.]

That's right, you read correctly, handsome and beautiful readers who are currently reading.

Merely from an afternoon plus evening of high-intensity training, Qin Yan actually gained a full 8 Skill Points!

"Just as I thought! After breaking through to the second grade, the Skill Points gained from each training session have doubled directly!"

He had verified his earlier premonition.

This meant his cultivation efficiency would once again experience a massive boost!

Whether it was advancing martial technique realms or accelerating the bone-forging process, everything would become faster!

Qin Yan then, without hesitation, invested all 8 Skill Points he gained today.

into the cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear Bone Forging Chapter.

The data on the panel blurred for a moment, then refreshed:

[Martial Technique: Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear Bone Forging Chapter (3%)]

...

Early the next morning, just as the sky began to brighten, Qin Yan was already up.

He carefully checked his belongings: the matte-black "ink trace" long spear was packed in a special cloth bag and slung across his back.

He changed into dark athletic wear suitable for movement and made sure to carry all essentials like his smart bracelet.

Qin Yan left the Modu University of Martial Arts campus and, following navigation instructions, headed towards the Yangpu District Investigation Branch in Modu City.

The Investigation Bureau, as one of the most important and powerful departments maintaining internal social stability and combating martial crimes and cult forces in Great Xia.

has branches in every city.

Modu University of Martial Arts is located within Yangpu District.

Therefore, Qin Yan didn't spend much time.

before arriving at the gate of this solemn, imposing building that exuded an intangible sense of deterrence.

The Yangpu Investigation Branch building was far more majestic and grand than Qin Yan had imagined.

Standing before him was an imposing skyscraper, visually estimated to be over thirty stories tall.

The building entrance was heavily guarded. Qin Yan went through several identity verification and security procedures before finally entering the lobby.

He walked to the front desk and stated his purpose to the staff on duty: "Hello, I'm a student from Modu University of Martial Arts, here to accept a corresponding wanted mission."

The front desk staff was a young woman.

Upon hearing the words "Modu University of Martial Arts," a flash of understanding and respect passed through her eyes.

She quickly checked the internal system and then said politely, "Please wait a moment. The relevant responsible personnel have been notified and will be here to assist you shortly."

Sure enough, after just five or six minutes, a middle-aged man walked out from an internal passageway.

"You're the student from Modu University of Martial Arts here to accept a mission?"

The man spoke, his voice steady.

"Yes, hello." Qin Yan nodded and handed over his student ID with both hands.

The man took the student ID, examined it carefully, and after confirming its authenticity, returned it to Qin Yan.

He asked casually, "Judging by your appearance, this is your first time accepting a mission, right?"

"Correct, first time." Qin Yan admitted frankly and proactively provided basic information, "My name is Qin Yan, currently at Second-Grade Early Stage strength."

Upon hearing the words "Second-Grade Early Stage," a trace of poorly concealed surprise finally flashed through the man's previously impassive eyes.

He had seen many geniuses from Modu University of Martial Arts, but those who could reach the Second-Grade realm not long after enrollment were still exceedingly rare.
