Chapter 741: Chapter 222 – Behind the Curtain_1

The next day.

Link declined the proposal of being accompanied by his senior brother and left the branch by himself.

Having visited the provincial capital twice and studied its most detailed map, he was not as unfamiliar with it as others might think.

Without any disguise, Link followed his planned route, wandering through the streets and alleys of the provincial capital from early morning till midnight, before returning to the Martial Arts School.

In the less than a year that Seventh Junior Sister Li Sisi had been studying in the provincial capital, Link visited all the places she frequented, as well as those she had only been to once or twice.

All his actions were done openly and honestly, making it clear for all those who had their eyes on both the Octagon Martial Arts School and him.

He was not worried about assassinations or other tricks in the least.

In fact, he was rather hoping that those hidden behind the scenes would lose their patience and show themselves.

After all, Link only had incomplete memories of his past life and the earliest years of his current life. However, after the age of three, his memories had been restored.

Well… with the exception of his knowledge of witchcraft from the Wizard World.

He had a very deep and clear understanding of his situation and goals.

Having lived in this world for seventeen years and accumulated enough power to take care of his business, he could no longer live as quietly as he had for the last seventeen years.

After investigating and handling the matter of Seventh Junior Sister Li Sisi’s infatuation, Link planned to visit Tianshui County to check on the Jiang Family and see how the overly simple single mother has fared over the years.

“Junior Brother, how did it go? Did you find anything?”

Brother Shi seemed to be waiting specifically for Link’s return and inquired about it as soon as he saw him.

“There’s no particular discovery. I just checked out the places where Seventh Senior Sister had been to, looking for anything suspicious.”

Link was not hiding anything and explained as it was.

Giving a quick glance, it would indeed be hard to spot any problems.

Having no findings is quite normal.

However, if he had any guesses or deductions in his mind, that was another story.

“Which direction do you plan to investigate next?”

Brother Shi’s brows furrowed, and he said seriously, “Let me accompany you tomorrow. After all, I am more familiar with the provincial capital as I have stayed here longer than you.”

Link still declined: “Brother, you focus on your duties in the Martial Arts School. I’m okay with investigating alone, as long as there’s timely discovery. After all, Seventh Senior Sister is currently not in any trouble. There’s no rush to get this matter thoroughly investigated. We can take our time.”

“Fine then.”

Brother Shi didn’t insist.

The branch in the provincial capital was not just a simple Martial Arts School. There was a whole set of industries surrounding it.

Currently, Brother Shi lacked capable assistants.

Master Li’s later private disciples who had met the graduation standard were sent to Fourth Senior Sister’s school first.

If Brother Shi wanted to get help, he had to train by himself or wait for the upcoming graduate brothers and sisters.

Therefore, Brother Shi was indeed busy with a lot of things every day.

His previous negligence concerning Seventh Junior Sister was not intentional and had its reasons.

“Brother, you should rest early. I’m a bit tired, I’ll go back to my room first.”

Link did not behave differently around Brother Shi. What should be said should be said openly, without any concealment.

“Alright, you should rest early as well.”

Brother Shi nodded, stood up and left the main hall, walking back to his room with his hands behind his back.

Link watched Brother Shi’s back and then turned towards the small courtyard arranged for him.

After returning to his room, Link did not rush to sleep. Instead, he practiced his skills for about half an hour, and after a slight shake, all the sweat and dust on his body were shaken off. Only after his body was clean and dry did he go to sleep.

A phrase often on one’s lips, a technique often in one’s hand.

Since he couldn’t perform witchcraft due to restrictions, he had to follow the customs of this world and improve his strength through its cultivation methods.

Whether it was for offense or self-defense, he had plenty of leeway.

As for the cultivation method of this world…

Lying in bed, Link closed his eyes tightly. It seemed like he was sleeping, but in reality, he was sensing everything in the bedroom with his spiritual power, far exceeding that of a Normalization Realm martial artist, nearly matching that of Master Li Shuwen in the Middle Stage of the Hollow Void Stage.

In ten years, even if his Sea of Consciousness was locked and knowledge was sealed.

But with his self-study and hazy feelings, Link had found some spiritual power techniques similar to the True Spirit Wizard System.

Looking at the surveillance tool shaped like an eyeball hanging on the window, facing the bed directly but completely invisible and intangible, Link had some ripples in his heart.

“Does such evil exist in this world as well?”

The eyeball-shaped surveillance tool, under the spiritual power sensing, emitted a revolting, strange aura.

Even if his witchcraft knowledge was sealed, Link immediately recognized that this eyeball-shaped surveillance tool, which had not appeared when he left home this morning, was actually created by refining human eyes through evil means.

In other words, apart from the Human Immortal Martial Path and Mechanical martial arts in the Extraordinary system of this world, there are some dark arts that are not public.

After careful contemplation, Link found it quite reasonable.

The Human Immortal Martial Path emphasizes the balance of spirit, qi, and mind, without any bias.

The Mechanical martial arts does not pay much attention to qi, slightly emphasizes spirit, and focuses more on mind.

During the development of Mechanical martial arts, or before its appearance, the birth of a quasi-witchcraft Extraordinary system entirely based on the “mind” was highly likely.

However, looking over the cultivation history of this world, techniques like visualization and meditation were unable to significantly increase spiritual power.

Therefore, if a cultivator of this world wants to use quasi-witchcraft techniques based on the “mind”, solely relying on the practitioner’s own “mind” is far from enough.
