Chapter 41 "Spirit Thread Fist"
Just as Lin Fei finished speaking, a series of "da da da" sounds rang out from the other end.
"Beep-beep-beep..."
Lin Ye moved his phone further away; the call had already ended.
Before he could do anything, a video call request came through from Chaoxin.
"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"
With a crackling sound, Lin Fei's delicate face filled the entire screen, her skin appearing slightly darker than before.
Seemingly noticing his own large face, he zoomed out, revealing his black combat uniform and tactical cap.
"Da da da—da da da!!!"
Before Lin Fei could speak, another burst of gunfire rang out.
"Brother Fei, what are you doing over there?" Lin Ye asked.
Lin Fei gave an OK sign, then put a high-explosive grenade to her mouth and bit down on the pin.
"Wait a minute! Let me turn the camera around!"
After saying that, he threw the grenade, and the camera immediately switched to a rear view.
The sky was bright and clear, and the desert stretched as far as the eye could see.
A few bungalows were less than a hundred meters ahead, and the image quality was distorted by the hot air.
"boom--!"
A loud explosion rang out inside the bungalow, and several figures could be vaguely seen bursting out.
"On a mission in Delta Force! They've run into some ruthless bandits! Let's play along!"
Lin Fei shouted loudly on the other end of the screen; if she didn't shout that loudly, no one could hear her.
Lin Ye was a little confused. Delta? A mission? A mission for a formal disciple?
What is a delta?
It's not even dark yet, could it be that we're no longer in Liya's territory?
Besides, you just casually threw a grenade over there, so who is the real thug?
Just as I was confused, the camera switched back to the front.
Lin Fei's face was close to the camera, and from the angle above, even her nostrils were clearly visible.
The fighting seemed to have subsided, and his voice returned to normal as he casually spat out the grenade pin from his mouth.
"I've approved your application. Lei Long will take you to sign the contract later."
"Then go to the armory, pick out a weapon to use for now, and you'll be ready for the assessment."
"Da da da!!!"
As the gunshot rang out, the camera began to shake violently.
"Fine! I'm not talking to you anymore! I'm going!"
"Beep-beep-beep..."
The video call ended, and Lin Ye stared at the black screen, his own face reflected in it.
"Squeak—"
Yan Yi pushed the door open and came in. "Senior, Coach Lei is looking for you."
Lin Ye stood up and put away his phone.
"Senior brother, to learn the Spirit Thread Fist, you also need to apply a secret recipe of safflower sesame oil and then rub it with hemp rope."
"If you're free this afternoon, senior, why don't you come to my house?"
"Judging from your current progress, you should be able to get the hang of it after rubbing it with safflower oil three to five times."
Yan Yi looked at Lin Ye, her expression calm on the surface, but her heart felt as if it had been swept by a raging storm.
too fast!
Even with the foundation of the Soul Whale Fist and even with the low quality of the Spirit Thread Fist, Senior Brother Lin's progress is too fast.
She was devastated.
She really is a genius...
"Thank you for your help," Lin Ye said with a smile.
After leaving the private room, Lei Long lay on the guidance platform, and straightened up after seeing Lin Ye.
"The boss said the application has been approved, and we'll sign the contract tomorrow morning?"
Lin Ye nodded. "Okay."
......
Evening, a residential community in Nan'an District.
Lin Ye looked up at the tall building in front of him, where the four large characters "Coastal Excellence" appeared magnificent.
"You live here?"
The name "Coastal Residence" is quite famous. It is located near the most bustling commercial street in Coastal City, with convenient transportation.
Although it's not a villa, its price exceeds that of most villa areas.
He had assumed that Yan Yi's family practiced martial arts and that their house would be an old house with a courtyard.
"My mom is good at business."
Yan Yi explained with her hands behind her back that although her father worked as a police superintendent, her mother was actually responsible for the family's expenses.
After walking for about ten minutes into the residential area, the two took the elevator upstairs.
"bite--"
The elevator doors opened, and Yan Yi took out her keys to unlock them.
No one was home. The bright living room looked energetic, but it also felt empty.
Upon entering the living room, Lin Ye looked at the family photo hanging on the wall. Yan Yi in the photo looked younger, so it must have been taken a couple of years ago.
He didn't know Yan Yi's mother, but he did know his father.
Yan Xiangzhen, Senior Inspector of the Coastal City Police Department and Deputy Commander of the South Shore Division, had seen him in the newspaper.
He has a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, exuding a decisive and ruthless aura.
"Dad is recuperating in the hospital. Please make yourself at home, senior brother. There's some soda in the fridge. I'll go get some safflower sesame oil."
As she spoke, Yan Yi brought over a plate of fruit, went into the kitchen, tied up her hair, and put on an apron.
Sitting on the sofa, Lin Ye's gaze fell on a file on the coffee table.
The black-and-white photocopies are case files related to the bombing.
Picking up the case file and flipping through it, I learned that the bombing twenty years ago was entirely an accident.
A gas cylinder was accidentally ignited, which led to a chain of explosions. The shop owner died on the spot, and more than ten people were injured.
As Lin Ye flipped through the files, his brows gradually furrowed.
A dozen minutes later, he put down the file, his brow furrowed.
There were no records of any questioning; the case was simply closed as an accident.
As for the mysterious person mentioned by Madam Zhu, there was absolutely no trace of him.
Most importantly, the case file didn't even record the shop owner's information.
Furthermore, upon reading through it, many sentences were not fluent, indicating that a lot of things had been deleted or modified.
"monument."
[Achieve a completion rate of 50% or higher (35%) for the "Flowing Shadows: Dark Predator" content]
The exploration progress increased by 5%, which indicates that he has indeed come to the root of the flow of yin energy.
The deleted parts are likely related to the bombing and are very likely the key information.
"Senior brother, it's done!"
Yan Yi's voice came from the kitchen. Lin Ye closed the file and got up to go over.
A strong, numbing aroma of Sichuan peppercorns wafted over, making my eyes feel uncomfortable.
Lin Ye looked at the safflower sesame oil in the iron basin in front of him, with a few green peppercorns floating on the surface.
"Is this really not for eating?"
He couldn't help but speak up; this was nothing like the safflower sesame oil he had imagined.
Yan Yi's gaze was somewhat evasive as she clutched her apron.
"That's what it says in the book~ and that's how I've always used it."
She lowered her head, walked to the side, and took out a rough hemp rope.
"Is this sisal rope?" Lin Ye asked.
Yan Yi's eyes lit up. "Senior brother has good taste!"
He took two steps forward, shook the sword and rope in his hand, and said, "Let's get started quickly, this is quite troublesome."
"Wrap your hands up first, then soak them in the water. Tell me when you feel the heat."
As she spoke, she immediately used the rope to tie Lin Ye's hands together, making a slipknot that could be pulled back and forth.
As Lin Ye immersed his palm in the safflower sesame oil, he felt a cool sensation.
Then an itchy sensation appeared, like countless ants crawling, and my palms gradually became warm.
"It's hot," Lin Ye said succinctly.
Yan Yi nodded emphatically, her face solemn.
He spread his legs, rolled up his sleeves, grabbed both ends of the rope, and started pulling it left and right.
The hemp rope kept rubbing against his palms, and the heat and numbness became more and more intense. In less than ten minutes, Lin Ye's palms had lost all feeling.
Yan Yi was already covered in sweat at this moment.
"Phew~~~"
She paused to catch her breath, then mustered her strength and continued pulling and rubbing.
Tell me when you regain consciousness.
After saying that, Lin Ye pulled on the rope for about half an hour, panting heavily, and nodded slightly.
"That's fine."
Yan Yi stopped what she was doing, took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from her brow, and glanced at Lin Ye discreetly.
My senior's talent is truly remarkable; he was able to persist for half an hour.
After untying the hemp rope, Lin Ye wiped the sesame oil off his hands and washed them, then looked at his palms.
It had a slightly yellowish-red tinge, and the skin looked like it had an extra layer of film, like wearing a pair of gloves.
Soak your palms in safflower sesame oil, then rub them with hemp rope wrapped around them until the tingling sensation disappears (completed)
Unlock achievement?
"no."
The decision is directly rejected. There is only one chance left to freely light up the scales, which must be reserved for [The Past in Darkness].
The temptation of 4 potential points is too great.
However, besides this, he also had other thoughts.
Will the "Spirit Line Fist" be inscribed on the monument if I master it on my own?
With his fingers slightly spread, he could already feel the heat in his palms; he was just one opportunity away from transforming into Qi.
And this opportunity... brought the five fingers together, gradually clenching into a fist.
Yan Yi put down the hemp rope in her hand and watched as Lin Ye gradually clenched his fists. Just as she was about to say some precautions, her eyes suddenly widened.
The yellow and red color on Lin Ye's hand seemed to come alive and spread outwards.
Gradually, Lin Ye opened his palm, and a red line faintly appeared on the fingertips of his five fingers.
It extends all the way to the palm and spreads upwards along the wrist.
"monument."
