Chapter 296 - Shocking!

I had originally planned to just teach them a lesson and be done with it.

But now, Zhou Yu had already changed his mind.

Yongle Palace, this scourge, must be eradicated.

However, before eradicating Yongle Palace, Zhou Yu also planned to take some things with him.

“Just now, that martial arts technique both you and Master Chang Qing manifested, what’s it called?”

“Dragon Gang Strength,” Master Chang Yuan said blankly.

“Where is the secret scroll?

Take me to it.”

Master Chang Yuan mechanically headed towards the rear of Yongle Palace.

Soon, he brought Zhou Yu to an attic.

Above the attic, three bold and vigorous characters were written: ‘Martial Arts Archives’.

Zhou Yu walked in with excitement on his face.

The Martial Arts Archives were large in size but had only three tiers of shelves.

On them, many secret scrolls were placed—there were roughly a hundred volumes.

Zhou Yu checked each one, these martial arts techniques were all quite common, none of them piquing his interest.

“Where is Dragon Gang Strength?”

Master Chang Yuan turned and walked to a corner; following that, he tapped a few times on the adjacent wall.

Click!

A hidden compartment suddenly popped out of the wall.

Zhou Yu immediately strode over.

Inside the compartment were three parchment scrolls placed neatly.

Upon seeing the parchment scrolls, Zhou Yu’s eyes lit up, instantly knowing that this was the real treasure.

He picked up one of the scrolls, indeed, this one was the secret scroll of the Dragon Gang Strength cultivation technique.

Zhou Yu opened it and briefly looked through it.

Dragon Gang Strength was indeed a technique that amped up a martial artist’s Gang Jin, and when cultivated to its highest realm, it could enhance one’s own Gang Jin close to eighty-one times.

Imagine, Zhou Yu, with his Innate realm of Body Refinement, could shatter granite with a full-powered strike—if this was further amplified eighty-one times, what kind of concept would that be?

That would almost be unassailable.

Of course, to cultivate to the highest realm was very difficult, because to be unassailable meant that one’s physical body’s strength must also reach an indomitable level.

At present, Zhou Yu’s physical strength, at most, would be enough to barely ward off handgun bullets, which was far from being unassailable.

Unless he could find the other half of the Golden Cauldron Technique, maybe there’d be a sliver of possibility.

Of course, even so, this martial arts technique was already strong enough.

After securely tucking away Dragon Gang Strength, Zhou Yu picked up the second parchment scroll.

This one recorded a finger technique.

Zhou Yu gave it a quick glance and discovered it was somewhat similar to his Bursting Flame Finger with comparable power.

Nevertheless, some of the circulation techniques recorded inside were eye-opening to Zhou Yu, but beyond that, nothing else excited him too much.

He then picked up the final parchment scroll.

This one recorded a technique known as ‘Divine Touch’.

Zhou Yu read it carefully, and soon his eyes revealed a surprised delight.

This technique was a rare combat support martial arts technique.

Even the old man had only mentioned it in passing.

He said such techniques were mostly lost to time, scarce and unattainable within the modern Martial Arts World.

Unexpectedly, he had stumbled upon one today.

‘Divine Touch’ was a technique that could enhance perception and instincts.

Cultivating this technique to a certain realm could greatly elevate one’s perceptual abilities, allowing one to anticipate the enemy’s moves in battle and avoid some hidden attacks; if cultivated to a profound depth, it could even lead to fortune while averting disaster—though this seemed rather mystical, and Zhou Yu himself wasn’t entirely convinced.

Nonetheless, it was a very practical martial arts technique.

“This trip was definitely not in vain,”

Zhou Yu said with a smile as he stowed away the three techniques.

He then took out his phone and made a call to Feng Shaosheng.

“Team Leader Feng, are you free right now?”

Feng Shaosheng eagerly responded:

“Mr.

Zhou, I am acting under Deputy Minister Jiang’s orders during this time, at your disposal, sir.

Whatever you need, just command.”

Zhou Yu didn’t stand on ceremony, saying directly:

“I’ve found evidence of Chang Yuan, Chang Qing, and Chang Hui’s wrongdoing at Yongle Palace.

Bring your team over now and take down Yongle Palace thoroughly.”

Pfft—

Feng Shaosheng was dumbfounded with astonishment.

“What???”

“Yongle Palace???”

“Mr.

Zhou…

you…

you…

you went to Yongle Palace?”

“Yes, Chang Qing is already dead, and I’ve crippled Chang Yuan, but there’s still a whole bunch of lackeys in Yongle Palace.

It’s not ideal for me to kill them all, so you come and deal with them,” Zhou Yu said.

Feng Shaosheng felt his brain buzzing, as if struck by a hammer.

The magnitude of this situation was shocking.

He knew all too well just how formidable Yongle Palace was, to the point where even the higher-ups at the Qin State Martial Pavilion had no way to handle them.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Yu had single-handedly taken down the leaders of Yongle Palace?

Feng Shaosheng swallowed hard and hurriedly said:

“Mr.

Zhou, this matter…

it’s too significant, I…

I can’t handle it.”

“This has to be reported to Deputy Minister Jiang.”

“No, the Deputy Minister is injured right now, our Minister is not here, and it would likely be difficult to resolve through the Qin State Martial Pavilion.”

Zhou Yu frowned.

“So, you’re saying no one can deal with Yongle Palace?”

Feng Shaosheng thought for a moment, then said hurriedly:

“There is someone.”

“Mayor Bao Guoqiang of Wu City could definitely manage it, but he’s difficult to engage with, and I’m not acquainted with him…”

“Oh?

Is that so?

Then I’ll contact him,” Zhou Yu said.

Zhou Yu hung up the phone and then dialed Bao Guoqiang’s number.
