This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 41 - Going into the Mountains

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Going into the Mountains

To encourage the students to actively participate, the rewards offered by the Martial Arts Hall this time were more substantial than ever before.

A bottle of Bitter Elemental Pill and a bottle of “Tongming Pill”—such rewards were originally reserved only for the top scorer of the monthly assessment, but now they had been extended to the top three. Simply achieving a Rank A evaluation would win these precious resources.

There were seven more Rank A spots available, each offering elixirs that could transform one’s talents!

This stirred excitement among the students present.

Previously, there were only three spots, almost always dominated by the Tiger Saber Gang, leaving no chance for the others to compete.

But now, with ten spots available and a change in the assessment method, everyone saw hope and was eager to try.

“Those who are willing to join this mission, stay; those who are not, may leave. However, you must not leave the Martial Arts Hall or contact the outside world until the operation is over today.”

Vice Hall Master Wang concluded.

In the end, not one of the eighty-three Rank A students chose to leave; all decided to participate.

“Depart!”

For this mission, the Martial Arts Hall dispatched more than a dozen senior lecturers with the strength of official martial artists.

Over a hundred people gathered on the drill ground, and after waiting for about fifteen minutes, several Inspection Bureau vans drove into the Martial Arts Hall and stopped on the ground.

“Everyone, get on.”

After a brief exchange with the Inspection Bureau representatives, the leading senior lecturer waved his hand.

The students climbed into the back of the vans, each vehicle seating around a dozen people. Li Fei and Lu Changwu boarded one together.

Inside the van sat an Inspector, fully uniformed and armed. Once everyone was aboard, he spoke in a cold, hard voice:

“There is equipment on your seats. Wear it properly on the bus.”

“Big brother, do you know who is leading the team from the Inspection Bureau this time?”

As soon as Lu Changwu boarded the van, he couldn’t wait to ask.

The Inspector sitting in the far back was taken aback for a moment before looking at Lu Changwu:

“Why are you asking about that?”

“I am the son of Captain Lu Sheng, your first squadron leader, and everyone here is also a descendant of the Inspection Bureau,” Lu Changwu said.

Hearing this, the Inspector’s attitude immediately changed, his face breaking into a smile:

“So, you’re the son of Captain Lu. What a coincidence, this time it’s Captain Lu himself who is leading the team!”

“My dad is leading the team personally?”

Joy could no longer be hidden on Lu Changwu’s face, and his smile was irrepressible.

“Hahaha, congratulations, Big Brother Lu.”

“Big Brother Lu, we’re all relying on you this time.”

“With Uncle Lu leading the team personally, the top Rank A evaluation will definitely be yours, Big Brother Lu.”

The people in the van congratulated him one after another.

Li Fei looked at the Inspector and asked, “Big brother, I would like to know, did anyone from the second squadron come this time?”

After learning that all those present were offspring of the Inspection Bureau, the Inspector spoke amiably with everyone—who knew if the father of the person in front of him could be his own direct supervisor?

He smiled and replied to Li Fei:

“This operation only involves the first squadron, the other two squadrons didn’t send anyone.”

Li Fei nodded and thanked him.

Hearing that Li Lei wasn’t involved in this operation, he actually felt relieved.

Although Magic is restrained by martial artists, it is still a threat to ordinary people, and who knows what kind of methods the Calming Sect might have? So Li Lei’s absence was a good thing in Li Fei’s view.

“Xiao Fei, don’t worry, I’ll look after everyone this time, there will be no problems,” said Lu Changwu, patting Li Fei’s shoulder with a smile.

He thought Li Fei was regretting the absence of Li Lei.

“Then I’ll be counting on you, Big Brother Lu.”

Li Fei responded with a smile.

Then, everyone began to put on their gear.

Only inspectors and some court-certified armed personnel could use firearms, and since their number was limited, the Inspection Bureau did not provide guns for these students.

Each person was given a set of anti-stabbing clothes, a helmet, and a knife; this was the equipment prepared by the Inspection Bureau for the students.

Li Fei weighed the knife in his hand; it was the Inspection Bureau’s standard-issue weapon, with a total length of one meter three and a weight of four pounds two liangs, almost the same weight and length as the special wooden saber he had been practicing with in the past few days. He should be able to handle it quite smoothly.

After changing into their gear, the next thing to do was wait.

The convoy quickly left the city, and the road became bumpy. Sitting in the carriage, people were shaking violently.

“Fuck, this is really torture.”

“I can’t take it, I feel nauseous.”

“How much longer do we have to go?”

Everyone was hardly used to such hardship and was somewhat unable to withstand it.

Li Fei silently grabbed the handrail above, appearing very calm.

The inspector in the car looked at Li Fei, who remained calm and composed, never uttering a word of complaint, with some surprise.

“This direction should be leading to Luoshan Village. It will probably take more than twenty minutes to get there. Everyone hold on.”

The inspector said.

More than twenty minutes later, the Inspection Bureau’s twenty-odd carriages stopped at a narrow slope.

Above the slope was a village built along the hillside, home to dozens of families. This was Luoshan Village.

Once the doors opened, some of the Martial Arts Hall students rushed out of the carriages and then started to bend over and vomit.

Down the slope, a middle-aged man in a black robe with white fish patterns embroidered on the sleeves and chest glanced at the vomiting students and frowned,

“The students from the Martial Arts Hall really aren’t what they used to be.”

He stood among several people dressed in the same uniform, all of whom had holsters and pistols at their waists.

Lu Sheng, also dressed in an Inspection Bureau uniform, was standing there as well.

Lu Sheng spotted Lu Changwu in the crowd, then discreetly shifted his gaze away and turned to the man who had just spoken, saying,

“Lord Wang, may we ascend the mountain now?”

“Ascend the mountain!”

Lord Wang gave the command, and without a moment’s rest, the Martial Arts Hall students who had just left the carriages started to climb the mountain in their heavy anti-stabbing clothes.

Fortunately, everyone was a martial artist, so physical strength was not an issue.

Within fifteen minutes, over two hundred people arrived outside a village.

This village was Luoshan Village; the Inspection Bureau’s people had already taken control of the place, sealing off the entire village to prevent entry or exit.

“Is the guide reliable?”

Lord Wang, who had given the earlier command, asked Lu Sheng.

He was a fully accredited martial master from Zhi Ge Court and the supreme commander of this operation.

“Our people have the entire family under control, there shouldn’t be any issues.”

Lu Sheng responded.

“Then let’s proceed into the mountains.”

Lord Wang issued the order.

Lu Sheng turned and called over an inspector, “Tell everyone, we are going into the mountains next. Keep your spirits up; we could encounter an ambush at any time.”

Soon, the group of more than two hundred people crossed through Luoshan Village and proceeded into the mountains behind it.

As they were about to go into the mountains, an inspector suddenly approached Li Fei and the others.

The person went over to Lu Changwu and whispered a few words, then handed over something to him covertly.

Li Fei had a clear angle to see that what was handed to Lu Changwu was a handgun!

Seeing this scene, Li Fei silently tightened his grip on the saber in his hand.
