6: Are kids these days so outrageous?!
General Liu took off his gloves, tossed them to a subordinate, and quipped, "Go get a similar electric saw. I'm curious what tricks this Shadow System Cultivator is playing."
This matter had become very peculiar; a person trapped by an unknown high-level Spell was actually killed by an electric saw. This was truly strange.
In less than three minutes, a guard, sweating profusely, brought over an electric saw identical to the one in the video. "Reporting, General Liu, this was borrowed from a villager's home."
General Liu took it, his eyes slightly focused, and casually said, "Remember to buy a new one for the villager and send it back. Don't just give him money; it's inconvenient for an elderly person to buy things."
"Yes, sir."
General Liu held the electric saw and gestured near Zhao Cheng's neck, his expression becoming slightly odd. "This isn't a Cultivator?"
The force used was too light, relying purely on skill and speed to compensate, completely falling short of a First Order Cultivator's standard.
He had initially thought it was a killer from the First Order Shadow System Cultivator, but he didn't expect this guy wasn't even a Cultivator.
General Liu weighed the electric saw in his hand, a glint flashing in his eyes. "The technique is very crude. He probably hasn't killed anyone before this. When chopping, it was precisely along Zhao Cheng's neck.
Zhao Cheng was indeed killed over a hundred times because only by striking there would the damage be maximized. This killer is very familiar with Zhao Cheng's body structure."
General Liu slightly shifted his angle, standing at the kitchen threshold, made an estimation, pursed his lips slightly, and sat down. He even deliberately lowered his body slightly, felt the angle, and then spread his legs slightly, his left foot slightly forward, his right foot back, and his body slightly tilted.
His posture perfectly simulated Tang Gao's height and striking stance, not a single bit off.
The surrounding Guardians held their breath, watching General Liu's actions with rapt attention.
General Liu closed his eyes slightly, imitated the killer's emotional state at the time, and then fiercely used the electric saw to execute a direct stab and horizontal slash.
"Screech!"
A snowy white blade light swept over the top of the headless corpse, cutting through time to land in the exact same spot, without the slightest deviation, even the angle precisely matched.
General Liu opened his eyes, his face full of surprise, and slowly stood up. "Terrifying. This guy actually killed Zhao Cheng over a hundred times, and it wasn't even his main body that came. It should be some kind of Shadow System Clone or Incarnation.
The strength of this Clone is not even at the Cultivator level; it only has twice the physical quality of a teenager."
If he hadn't killed Zhao Cheng over a hundred times, he wouldn't have been able to perform such a crude yet precise decapitation.
Based on Zhao Cheng's wounds, the force and angle could be calculated, and then by personally trying with the electric saw, the person's strength could be generally determined.
What a profound Spell! It actually trapped Zhao Cheng in some kind of loop over a hundred times.
As for it not being the main body, that was very easy to determine.
Because there were no signs of muscle exertion; it was more like an energy Clone acting.
The force application was too stable.
General Liu handed the electric saw to his subordinate, his mind racing, his eyes flickering. "Age around 18, height around 180 centimeters, Cultivation around half a year, a Shadow System Cultivator, mastered a Shadow Clone Spell. His identity should be a student.
Most likely a junior or senior high school student. He's very smart and cautious, and his academic performance won't be bad. Estimated to be a recently Awakened Shadow System Spell… Narrow the investigation to excellent high school students who are recently Awakened Cultivators."
General Liu paused, then added playfully, "Perhaps, this little guy's Innate Spell is from the Shadow System, and he hasn't even set foot on the path of Cultivation."
The Guardians were dumbfounded, looking at each other.
While admiring General Liu, they were also surprised by the suspect information he provided.
"General Liu, a high school student, is that possible?"
General Liu chuckled, pointing at Zhao Cheng's wound. "I can't believe it either, but based on the sitting posture, the method of attack, and the force, only a newly advanced Shadow System Genius, who has mastered an Innate Spell, is 18 years old, and 180 centimeters tall, could do this."
By reverse-engineering from all known traces, one can naturally deduce the killer's height, strength, speed, skill, age, identity, psychological factors, and other elements.
With the evidence and basis laid out, he was very surprised.
When the conditions are met, the result will emerge.
By discerning the result, one can naturally infer the cause.
All of this was as clear as a painting in General Liu's eyes. He even knew that this killer walked out from under the grape arbor, sat down at the kitchen threshold, and the tormented Zhao Cheng crumbled, kneeling and begging for mercy, picked up the phone thrown by the other party to record a confession video, and after light-speedCall the police, was quickly decapitated.
Although he still didn't know the person's appearance, General Liu was already very interested in this person.
The Guardians present were completely dumbfounded.
"Chief, a high school student with no Cultivation killed a First Order Middle Stage Zhanqi System Cultivator? Isn't this too outrageous?"
General Liu looked at his subordinate playfully. "No, not First Order Middle Stage, but First Order Late Stage, having burned his life and potential."
There was silence in the room, and everyone stared dumbfounded at the corpse on the ground. Only then did they notice that Zhao Cheng's hair roots were dry, his skin appeared somewhat parched, his Meridians were subtly protruding, yet his body was in a state of full eruption.
If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't have discovered that Zhao Cheng was in a state of burning his life before he died.
Indeed, this would truly grant First Order Late Stage strength.
General Liu looked at the corpse on the ground and sighed, "Innate Spell, truly terrifying."
Innate Spells are Spells that some Cultivators naturally Awaken from birth. Their power is extraordinary, and their potential varies from person to person.
But they all have one commonality: they are all very cost-effective.
It seems this little guy's Innate Spell is extremely powerful.
The deputy general looked shocked. "Are kids nowadays this outrageous?!"
The waves behind push the waves ahead, pushing the former waves onto the beach.
"Go investigate. Such an excellent person is hard to completely hide. However, the student population is too large, so finding him won't be easy."
Deputy General: "Yes, sir."
The deputy general hesitated for a moment and asked, "General Liu… what about the matter of that powerful individual…?"
Anyone present with a bit of insight could sense how deep the waters were beneath this revenge.
There was definitely a powerful individual involved in this matter.
General Liu glanced at the deputy general and said faintly, "Put it aside."
Investigate that powerful individual? Are you tired of living, or am I?
Such matters should be left for the higher-ups to worry about. What can we do?
Investigating this little guy is enough.
I believe that powerful individual will understand what we mean.
The highest commander of the Liang City investigation team issued an order, and commands were disseminated through the command system. The entire official system of Liang City began to operate rapidly, solely to investigate this Shadow System Genius who wasn't even a First Order Cultivator.
At this moment, Tang Gao, far away in Building 9 of Fandou Garden residential area in the city, was happily reaping his rewards.
"Not bad, not bad. I received five months of Cultivation rewards. If I keep this up for a few more days, it'll be enough to become a First Order Cultivator."
Tang Gao was very happy, but amidst his happiness, he began to worry again. "But becoming a Cultivator so quickly would be too sudden. This doesn't conform to common sense."
In just one month, he would become a First Order Cultivator. If this got out, a peaceful life would become increasingly distant from him.
Difficult.
If he became a Cultivator, he would definitely move away from a calm life.
If he didn't become a Cultivator, would he really have to be a corporate slave?
Is there no way to both become a Cultivator and live a happy life?
