A middle-aged man with red eyes and clenched fists responded through gritted teeth.
“None?” Shi Jinnian frowned. “Not even a drop?”
“Yes, not even a drop!” The middle-aged man growled. “Little Feng’s origin blood has been entirely drawn away by someone!”
“The same situation as with Yankai?”
When a burly man at the side heard this, he said in a muffled voice, “The cause of death was an attack of origin blood, but there was no origin blood in the corpse. Now the same thing has happened with Little Feng, could it be that someone is targeting the Shi Family?”
“It’s not targeting, but watching!”
Shi Jinnian said in a low voice, “Someone is already on the Shi Family, their goal is to draw the origin blood!”
“This… What do they want the origin blood for?” An old man’s eyes flashed with anger. “Once the origin blood leaves our bodies, it loses its vitality. What are they drawing it for?”
“It’s good that we now know the reason,” Shi Jinnian commented. “The problem is, we don’t know why they want the origin blood!”
“If that’s really the case, then aren’t we all targets? Especially the younger generation, it would be very dangerous when they head out!” the elder said angrily.
“Therefore, subsequently, for a period of time, get the younger generation to stay at home. No one goes out!” Shi Jinnian ordered, “The other party only dares to act in secret. As long as we don’t go out, he won’t be able to do anything to us. Even if he had the biggest guts, he wouldn’t dare to barge into the estate. Of course, it would be even better if he did!”
“D*mmit.”
The burly man cursed loudly. “When we catch this smelly rat in the dark, we must give him utter misery!”
The others were similar, their expressions full of resentment.
The middle-aged man, whose eyes were red, didn’t even notice that his fingernails had dug into his flesh.
This was because he was Shi Yanfeng’s father!
Since he was young, Shi Yanfeng had always been outstanding. Countless people liked him and he was well-versed with both the pen and the sword. He was only 18 years old and already a seventh-grade martial artist. Since last year, he had been set to be the future patriarch.
But overnight, this genius that so many people were proud of had died.
His head was chopped off!
The heart-wrenching pain of losing his son left only one thought in the middle-aged man’s mind——kill, kill, kill!
The murderer who drew the origin blood, the people from the White River Dojo, and the group of women Shi Yanfeng had slept with.
Kill them all!
Only by killing all of them to accompany Shi Yanfeng would it scarcely ease the pain in his heart.
…
The crematorium in the Western District.
Su Jingxing partnered with Kong Dabao and moved corpses as per usual.
Most of the journeys were from the morgue to the incineration room and occasionally to the farewell ceremony hall.
[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]
“Yes!”
[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]
“Yes!”
…
The cards he extracted along the way were stored in his palm space.
When he was free, Su Jingxing then used the excuse of going to the toilet to take out the cards and read the descriptions.
Internal Force Card, Strength Enhancement Card, Strength Enhancement Card, Essence Energy Card, Essence Energy Card…
The cards collected from the corpses of ordinary people were mainly Strength Enhancement Cards and Essence Energy Cards.
Su Jingxing was already used to it. These two cards were still effective when accumulated.
Until…
“A Martial Arts Practice Card?”
Holding a new card in his hand, Su Jingxing read the description and felt perked up.
He gripped the card and checked again and again that it was really a Martial Arts Practice Card!
“The corpses that I extracted from today were all human. Moreover, they were basically ordinary people. How can there be a Martial Arts Practice Card?”
Su Jingxing’s heart raced.
Holding back his excitement, he checked the last few cards and received the Strength Enhancement Card and Essence Energy Card.
Su Jingxing committed the sequence to memory and rushed out of the washroom. He gave an excuse and went to get the registration form. He found the body that the Martial Arts Practice Card was extracted from——a boy named Wang Yuning. He flipped through his information.
Wang Yuning, 16 years old this year. He had been excellent in both character and learning since a young age, an example of a good child to parents, and a good student to teachers, and a genius in the eyes of classmates. He was skilled in both the pen and the sword.
In short, anyone who knew Wang Yuning would give him a thumbs up.
However, such an enviable genius had suddenly committed s*icide by jumping off a building!
It was not because of a relationship, nor was it because he was being bullied. But he simply just jumped off a building and killed himself.
The Public Security Team investigated three times, but they didn’t find any clues.
Instead, they found a sentence in a notebook from Wang Yuning’s belongings.
“I’m so tired of living. I feel like a puppet.”
From this sentence, the Public Security Team analyzed that Wang Yuning had long had thoughts of ending his life.
Then, through the word “puppet,” they investigated his daily life. In the end, it was found out that Wang Yuning had a mother who was terrifyingly controlling.
Wang Yuning had been under the control of his frightening mother since he had a conscious mind.
Eating, walking, sleeping, studying, practicing martial arts, making friends…
No, Wang Yuning had no friends. His scary mother believed that there was no need for Wang Yuning to make friends. As long as he was good in his studies and outstanding in martial arts, he would naturally have everything.
Year after year, from kindergarten to high school, Wang Yuning did not have a single day of freedom.
Finally, he jumped off a building.
This was the cause of death that they had found out, the truth behind the s*icide attempt——a life that had been controlled!
“Controlled…”
“Controlled…”
After reading all the information, Su Jingxing repeatedly muttered this word and a light bulb slowly lit up in his brain.
He understood now!
He had figured out the extraction rule of the Martial Arts Practice Card.
Being controlled!
The Corpse Puppets were manipulated by the Corpse-raising Insect, that was why he extracted the Martial Arts Practice Card.
The Barbarians who wiped out the Dagger Gang and branches of the Black Tiger Gang were controlled by Duan Feihong’s faction behind the scenes. Therefore, he also extracted Martial Arts Practice Cards from them.
As the barbarians left in the warehouse had yet to be activated and manipulated to carry out missions, few Martial Arts Practice Cards were extracted from them. The majority were the Mighty Strength Card and Body Strengthening Card.
The Mighty Strength Card and Body Strengthening Card corresponded perfectly with the Herculean strength and powerful physical bodies of barbarians.
Right now, Wang Yuning had been also under the grasp of his terrifyingly controlling mother.
Therefore, the Martial Arts Practice Card was also extracted
Practice, control.
As they were being controlled, freedom was very precious. Targeting this point, the cheat ability developed it into the function of practice.
The case was solved!
Su Jingxing, who strung everything together finally thought things through, sighed with emotion.
Although he had solved the case, getting the Martial Arts Practice Card still depended on luck.
When these people do not say anything, no one outside would know about their controlled lives.
Wang Yuning’s situation was a special case. Very few people had the same experience.
Therefore, this Martial Arts Practice Card with 20 years of practice time could be considered an unexpected gain.

Su Jingxing did not know when he would encounter such a situation again.
After regaining his composure, he kept the card and continued to move corpses.
My Nine Steps Trampling Heaven has been stuck at the introductory level. With this Martial Arts Practice Card, I can probably cultivate to the fourth or fifth level in one go.
The higher the level of one’s internal exercise, the faster one can absorb the worldly energy and convert it into true energy.
Given the density of worldly energy in the valley where the big white goose resides, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to raise my true energy by 10 to 20 years, right?
