When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Fist Wind

"Captain Lu is amazing!"

"I thought this case would be really tricky, but Captain Lu solved it just like that."

"Captain Lu, how did you figure out they were hiding under the bridge pier?"

A wave of awe filled the air as Lu Hong directly raided the criminals' hideout, thrilling the entire enforcement team—it was a significant achievement.

Lu Hong, while being praised, felt somewhat embarrassed; he knew that the credit didn't lie with him, but with Xiang Beifei.

"Sorry for the delay. You guys proceed with the necessary, interrogate those who need interrogation, and keep busy."

Lu Hong then remembered he had promised to teach Xiang Beifei some combat skills, but upon encountering the criminals, he had heatedly forgotten about it and hurried to his office.

"I'm back, sorry, I forgot," Lu Hong said with a smile.

"Dad, you're so cool! You solved the robbery case so quickly? How did you figure it out?" Lu Zhiwei excitedly looked at her father.

"With the help of a noble person, without him, I really might not have spotted the loophole," Lu Hong said with a smile.

"Was it Xue Mo? I thought he took a leave."

"Not Xue Mo, it was Beifei!"

Lu Hong looked at Xiang Beifei, thoroughly impressed by him now.

This kid truly was extraordinary; he didn't even need to face the suspect for an interrogation or visit the scene, just a quick glance from afar was all it had taken.

He had actually managed to catch one of Wan Qiu's accomplices!

This level of investigative ability was even more potent than his own system!

"Beifei?"

Lu Zhiwei turned her head in confusion and looked at Xiang Beifei, "Did he spot the criminal suspect again?"

"He figured it out with reasoning!"

Lu Hong explained, "Beifei has a very keen sense for reasoning. He just took one look and analyzed where that guy's accomplice was hiding! Xiao Wei, you really ought to learn this reasoning ability from Beifei."

Lu Zhiwei turned her head and sized up Xiang Beifei again: "How is that possible? Didn't he just awaken his system? Is he that impressive?"

Lu Hong knocked on Lu Zhiwei's head.

"How many times have I told you, you should never underestimate anyone. Beifei has a gift for this, he's much better than you at it."

"Dad, I'm not underestimating him, I just think... nevermind, forget I said anything."

Lu Zhiwei muttered a bit but didn't finish her sentence, feeling that if she continued, she might just get another knock on the head from her dad, so she wisely kept quiet.

However, she was becoming more and more curious about Xiang Beifei.

Yesterday, their team's prophecy expert Xue Mo had failed to locate Lai Wuying, who nearly took down the entire enforcement team; yet, it was only Xiang Beifei who had noticed Lai Wuying's traces and had helped her dad capture him.

Today, Xiang Beifei had just arrived at the enforcement team, and before even warming his seat, he had helped her dad solve another case?

Was this guy's ability to solve cases really that strong?

"Beifei, have you ever considered being a city guardian here? With your personality and reasoning skills, you'd be perfectly suited for the job."

Lu Hong looked at Xiang Beifei with hopeful eyes.

"I was just lucky."

"There you go being modest again," Lu Hong said.

"Uncle Lu, I want to learn some combat skills," Xiang Beifei said.

"Right, right, look at my memory, almost forgot! Come on, I'll take you to the training room."

Lu Hong, hearing Xiang Beifei express such an interest, was also pleased. If Xiang Beifei could really end up working here, their jurisdiction's case-solving rate would probably skyrocket.

Beifei fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Wan Qiu, who possessed the Reclamation System, and reminded, "Uncle Lu, even if you catch them, you must be careful, this person is not so simple."

"Don't worry, they are watching. We have special means of care here, and won't give him a chance to escape," Lu Hong said.

Beifei thought for a while and then said nothing more.

——

The city guard squad had a dedicated training room for combat, specifically for the use of the guards.

Lu Hong brought Beifei to a bright room with nothing around—it was a pure fighting arena.

Lu Hong took Beifei to change clothes, and Lu Zhiwei, having nothing else to do, followed them in.

"Combat skills are very important. You can learn this without having to cultivate the spiritual power. In my eyes, the essence of fighting is all about speed," Lu Hong said as he clenched and then opened his fist, with a faint flow of air swirling around his fingertips.

"Beifei, you've just awakened your system less than a month ago, so you probably haven't cultivated any spiritual power yet, have you?" Lu Hong didn't yet know Beifei's specific situation, as Beifei had not taken any action that day.

"Dad, how could he have cultivated spiritual power so quickly? He's not an S-rank," Lu Zhiwei muttered.

S-rank Awakeners find it simple to break through to the Qi-Controlling phase, but she knew that Beifei was an N-rank Awakener, and for N-rank Awakeners, it would take at least half a year to a year to possibly step into the Qi-Controlling phase.

Beifei said, "Regarding that, well—I barely—"

He stretched out his finger and lightly clenched it twice, a white light pulsing at his fingertips.

"What? You've cultivated spiritual power already?"

Lu Zhiwei was very surprised!

"That's not right! You just awakened as an N-rank, how could it be so fast?"

Lu Zhiwei found it incredible!

Lu Hong was also surprised; after thinking for a moment, he realized that Beifei was far from being as simple as an N-level, and he became more certain about Beifei hiding his own talent.

Although he was very curious about this young man, considering the identity of Tianxing's son, he didn't ask further but simply said, "That makes it much more convenient."

Meanwhile, Lu Zhiwei curiously asked, "How did you break through to the Qi-Controlling phase?"

After finishing, upon seeing her father ready to scold her, she quickly added, "Just to be clear, I mean no disrespect. The textbooks clearly state what type of system has what kind of learning progress, and you are clearly an N-rank Awakener!"

"Zhiwei, don't be rude! Looks can be deceiving. To become strong, both talent and diligence are important. Have you forgotten our senior officer from Liangzhou, Shang Tianxiong? He's an N-rank System Awakener, just look at his accomplishments," Lu Hong interjected.

"But he didn't reach the Qi-Controlling phase in just one month either!" Lu Zhiwei muttered.

"Alright, no more questions. We are here to train today, focus!" Lu Hong did not allow his daughter to continue.

He continued, "I have my own set of unique boxing techniques, which I generally don't teach others, mainly because everyone's system attributes differ, and what works for me might not work for others. I've only taught Zhiwei, whether it suits you, you'll have to see for yourself."

Lu Hong snapped his fingers, and suddenly, a punching bag appeared in the middle of the room.

This was a technologically simulated punching bag, but it was in no way different from a real one.

"When sparring with someone, you must be alert in all directions, mindful of attacks coming from any direction at any time, while ensuring that the strength in your arms matches the speed of your eyes. Your focus must always be on your own fists," Lu Hong said as he threw a punch forward.

His fist wind howled, igniting flames in the air in the instant it was thrown.

Bang!

Lu Hong's fist had not even touched the punching bag, yet the bag was directly blasted into pieces!

Beifei's eyes brightened.

That punch was very powerful.
