54: Section 54

After a long while, Yang Yong sighed and shook his head.

He withdrew his gaze from the painting.

He stood up, left the office, and walked toward the training ground.

The day's Monster Hunting work ended.

The afternoon sparring session was relatively much easier.

The students sparring with Lin Yi were all well-behaved, and no one was deliberately targeting him.

Therefore, Lin Yi fulfilled his duties.

He did not end the sparring too quickly.

Instead, he would let the other party expose their weaknesses during the sparring process, thereby allowing Yang Yong to correct them.

Even Sun Tao and Hu Quan returned to the ring for a second sparring session with Lin Yi.

This time, they were calm and collected, letting Lin Yi help them point out their weaknesses one by one, while Yang Yong provided timely corrections.

Until Lin Yi had stayed in the Martial Arts Hall for ten hours and received his hard-earned money.

Yang Yong smiled and said: "Go back and get some good rest, and come earlier tomorrow. Did you see the news today? It's not peaceful outside, try not to come out alone at night!"

Lin Yi nodded: "Yes, Coach Yang, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first!"

He then walked to the locker room, changed into his own clothes, and left the Martial Arts Hall.

Chapter 49 Epic-Level Trait

Night was falling.

Lin Yi sat on the bus, looking down at his phone.

In The Fifth Monster Hunting Team group chat, a few people were chatting.

Their conversation was mostly about the morning news and their respective mission targets.

Little Shrimp: I encountered that mission Yao Beast yesterday, fought a few rounds with it, and let it run away.

Mystic: What is your mission target?

Little Shrimp: It's a Bull Yao, its defense is astonishingly high.

Northern Ranger: A Bull Yao? You have good luck, actually having to hunt it?

Little Shrimp: Ranger boss, have you seen that Bull Yao?

Ranger: I encountered it once before and wanted to slaughter it, but that guy's defense is indeed very high, and I let it run away too. But you should be careful, Bull Yao are very vengeful...

Little Shrimp: I'm afraid it won't be vengeful; I'd prefer it to come find me itself. I've wasted too much time looking for it.

Old Gao: By the way, if anyone encounters a Dog Demon, let me know!

Little Shrimp: @Old Gao, your mission is a Dog Demon?

Old Gao: Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but recently those Dog Demons have all hidden away; not a single one is coming out!

Ranger: Hahaha... Didn't someone slaughter a 1-Star Dog Demon a while ago? It must have intimidated them, scaring them so much they don't dare to come out.

Little Shrimp: Dog Demons are cowardly, usually they have accomplices when they commit crimes. Since a 1-Star Dog Demon just died, they might be lying low for a while before daring to come out!

Old Gao: ...

Lin Yi looked at the content of their chat.

His brows furrowed involuntarily. Could the person they were talking about in the group who killed the Dog Demon be him?

The Monster Hunting mission he had just completed two days ago wasn't that just hunting a 1-Star Dog Demon?

He just hadn't expected that Dog Demons would be cowardly.

A few minutes later, the bus arrived at the stop.

Lin Yi got off and headed straight back to his residential complex.

Shortly after, when he opened the door and walked in, he saw Lin Dazhi sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper.

Beside him was a dining table, clearly newly bought.

On the dining table were several plates, each covered with a bowl.

Just as Lin Yi closed the door, Liu Hongmei walked out, smiling, and said: "Little Yi is back? Haven't eaten yet, right?"

"These dishes are still warm, sit down and eat something. If you think they're cold, I'll go heat them up for you..."

Lin Yi, who had walked into the living room, shook his head: "No need, Auntie Liu, I'll just make do!"

After saying that, he walked straight into the bathroom.

Only then did Lin Dazhi put down the newspaper in his hand.

With a gloomy expression, he said: "Did you see that? He didn't even make a sound when he saw me, just like I owe him something. You shouldn't have been so good to him!"

"He had the day off, ran around outside all day, and only came back this late. I just don't understand, how did I end up with such a thing? Why didn't he get fed to a Yao Beast outside?"

Lin Dazhi's voice was not loud.

Just as he finished speaking, Liu Hongmei hurriedly stepped forward and nudged his shoulder.

"Don't you want to repair your relationship with him? Don't forget, in the future, we still have to rely on him to go out and earn money!"

"If you don't rein in this temper of yours and he really runs away from home, what will our family use to support Xiaoyu in the future? Just bear with it; if you can't, just go into the room and stay there!"

After Liu Hongmei finished speaking, Lin Dazhi wanted to say something but held back, eventually choosing to pick up the newspaper and continue sitting there reading.

A moment later, Liu Hongmei adjusted her emotions and said with a smile: "Little Yi, Auntie Liu will take the dishes to heat them up for you. Once they're hot, I'll call you out to eat!"

By this time, Lin Yi had returned to his room.

Hearing Liu Hongmei speaking outside, he gave a soft 'Mm.'

He then brought up his personal panel.

[Name: Lin Yi]

[Occupation: Student]

[Martial Arts Realm: 1-Star, 1st Stage]

[Qi and Blood Value: 88.12%]

[Martial Skill: Basic Fist Technique (Perfection), Basic Leg Technique (Perfection)]

[Talent Trait: Absolute Focus (Purple), Heaven-defying Comprehension (Purple), Destiny (Golden), Fist Technique Mastery (Blue), Divine Movement (Blue), Wall Walking (Purple), Iron Fist (Blue 2/3), Tenacity (Blue), Bronze Muscles and Iron Bones (Blue), Snake Step (Blue), True Blood Moon (Red)]

[Plundered Traits: Wall Walking, Iron Fist, Tenacity, Bronze Muscles and Iron Bones, Snake Step]

[Cultivation Technique: Galaxy Qi Transformation Technique]

When Lin Yi saw that a [True Blood Moon (Red)] trait had suddenly appeared among his traits, he was completely stunned.

"When did this trait appear? Why do I have no memory of it? And it's a red one..."

All this time, he had never seen a single red trait.

The highest quality traits he knew of only went up to golden.

This made Lin Yi subconsciously believe that golden traits were the highest quality.

Until a red trait appeared among the traits he possessed, which left him both surprised and delighted.

[True Blood Moon (Red): Epic-Level Trait, bathing in moonlight can increase one's own attribute values: Speed +100%, Physique +100%, Strength +100%, Explosive Power +150%]

"As expected of an Epic-Level trait, it actually comes with so many attribute bonuses!"

While Lin Yi was pleasantly surprised, the eerie painting he had seen earlier in Yang Yong's office once again appeared in his mind.

The Blood Moon.

The ocean.

The small boat...

"Could it be that this trait was obtained because of that painting?"

Lin Yi fell into deep thought.

However, now that he recalled the scene of entering that painting—the roaring ocean, the eerie Blood Moon—it gave him a suffocating sense of fear.

Being in such a place, he could see no hope of survival.
