Chapter 61: 61. Lay the Cards on the Table
“This is for your protection,” the somewhat hoarse voice said. “I’m not entirely clear on the specific reason, but I do know it’s related to the Intelligent Star Group from an extraterrestrial civilization and seems to involve an evolutionary path from the stars.”
He hesitated for a moment before adding, “Actually, the Free Body Series Battle Technique that you have been practicing, if traced back to its origin, comes from that evolutionary path in space. It was created based on this by the founder of Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall.”
“Founder of Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall?” Lin Qing realized.
He also knew quite a lot about the feats of this great person, like founding Chaoyang Martial Arts, establishing the Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall, investing with the Intelligent Star Group, and so on.
Their status was so esteemed, it could be called the dream of countless people around the world.
“I understand.”
...
Lin Qing asked, “Is it just the original Free Body Combat Skill that can’t be exposed, or are other combat skills also not to be exposed?”
The hoarse voice replied, “It’s the same for any combat skill promoted by the Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall; the Patrol System which includes these four series of combat skills, all involve the evolutionary path from the stars.”
Lin Qing nodded slightly.
He had always been accustomed to hiding his trump cards, revealing them only when they were a sure kill.
Even if headquarters didn’t remind him, he would have done the same.
“While only the original combat skills will attract attention, it’s still better to start taking precautions early.”
The hoarse voice continued, “Headquarters will also prepare various cover-up methods for you geniuses, such as gene modification, mutation, bio-enhancement, and other reasons to explain your strength.”
“As for you, headquarters has prepared the excuse of ‘Class A Evolutionary Radiation’ causing limit-breaking evolution.”
“Class A Evolutionary Radiation?” Lin Qing said in confusion.
“It’s a fairly plausible explanation; it’s normal for you not to know, as this wouldn’t be covered in textbooks.”
The voice chuckled, “In the apocalypse of 2045, various unique evolutionary radiations appeared all over the world. Although they have almost vanished now, some residues remain. Class A radiation is one of the more common types that doesn’t cause bodily mutations, just pure limit-breaking physical improvements, which can perfectly conceal your situation.”
“2045?” Lin Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.
The apocalypse in his previous life broke out in 2025, suspected to be due to a spread of some special energy field around the world.
Not only did all global signals become completely chaotic, but also mysterious ‘storms’ ravaged everywhere, with many dying for unknown reasons, apparently unharmed on the outside, yet their brains had ceased to function.
Those who survived the ‘storms’ were extremely rare.
Fortunately, the ‘storms’ followed certain patterns, and many kept moving to escape, surviving the apocalypse.
Although he was one of the lucky ones who survived the ‘storms’, he only lived until 2033 and was unclear about what happened afterward.
Textbooks only barely mentioned it, and related information was not available online.
Now it seemed, the apocalypse underwent a special change in 2045?
“Class A Evolutionary Radiation?”
“I’m hearing about it for the first time,” Lin Qing said.
“That’s normal. For the average person, this is a secret,” the voice laughed. “Class A Evolutionary Radiation would only cause accelerated bodily evolution. Before a Genetic Awakening, those who underwent Class A Evolutionary Radiation would have their physical potential doubled.”
“It won’t be long before headquarters alters your medical report to include a note ‘suspected traces of Class A Radiation exposure,'” the voice confirmed.
Lin Qing pondered.
Physical potential doubled before Genetic Awakening?
If his physical status were to double, even if he only mastered the combat techniques to a certain level, his strength wouldn’t be much different from now.
Such strength would be sufficient to single-handedly break through the Underground Boxing Arena.
It was indeed quite suitable for disguising combat skills.

“Even if you have trained in the Original Chaoyang Method, this excuse will still suffice.”
The hoarse voice stated, “This way, even if you utilize combat skills at the Instinct Level, others won’t be able to tell if it is due to the combat skills or simply because your physical condition is too good.”
Lin Qing nodded slightly.
With official help in concealment, he could indeed rest a bit easier.
“Additionally…”
The hoarse voice went on, “In the report for this mission, you mentioned that after you killed the person in charge of the Underground Boxing Arena, you found a sun-shaped tattoo on Zhou Yang’s body?”
“Yes,” Lin Qing nodded.
After he killed Zhou Yang, he discovered this while searching the body.
It happened earlier too, after he had killed those two members of the Blue Scarf Gang; he found the same tattoo, but that was something he couldn’t afford to mention.
“As for this, headquarters advises you to… be cautious.”
That raspy voice said, “It’s a symbol of the secret organization ‘Bright Society.'”
Bright Society?
Lin Qing remembered this name.
“Headquarters had confirmed the existence of Bright Society a long time ago.”
That raspy voice continued, “However, the members of this organization are spread across the world, and the only common feature is that they all have a sun-shaped tattoo hidden on their bodies. But the tattoo will only appear if they stimulate it themselves. Otherwise, it’s only right after death that the tattoo briefly reveals itself.”
Lin Qing nodded slightly.
Indeed, it was the same with the Bright Society members he had come across.
“In short, the Bright Society has extensive influence; there’s suspicion that they’re involved with the Dark Star Association. You should be very careful.”
That raspy voice instructed, “Since the Yuanhong Society is entangled with the Bright Society, headquarters will also pay more attention.”
…
After learning the Combat Skill “Power,” Lin Qing left the secret room.
With three basic Free Body Series Battle Techniques under his belt, amplified by three enhancements, he was sure to master the Combat Skill “Power” very quickly.
But he was pondering in his mind.
Putting aside the connection between the Yuanhong Society and the colossal Bright Society whose members were all over the world, the fact that the Yuanhong Society could enlist Chu Tianyao was dangerous enough.
His strength would see a rapid surge in the coming one to two months, but he had to survive this period.
Stay directly at the precinct?
But he would still need to go out on missions, and that’s when opportunities could arise.
“How should I take precautions?”
As Lin Qing pondered his way back to the captain’s office and glanced at Zhao Jiayi sitting not too far away, he suddenly had an idea.
“Jiayi, could we step out for a chat?” Lin Qing said suddenly.
“Ah? Oh, okay.” Zhao Jiayi nodded and stood up.
“The office has no surveillance, but there are too many prying eyes. How about we talk at my place?” Lin Qing looked at her.
Zhao Jiayi’s azure eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded, “Okay.”
…
Shortly afterward, Lin Qing brought Zhao Jiayi back to his home.
After entering the house, he locked the door, drew the curtains, turned on the signal jammer and the house’s noise-cancellation mode, doing his best to avoid eavesdropping before he finally sat down on the sofa.
Lin Qing looked at Zhao Jiayi, who seemed a bit unsure of what to do, and said, “Please, sit.”
“Oh, okay.” Zhao Jiayi nodded and then sat down on the sofa opposite him.
“Zhao Jiayi.”
Lin Qing, with his hands clasped under his chin, looked at Zhao Jiayi and after a long silence finally said, “You’re a Telekinesis Awakener, aren’t you?”
“Yes.” Zhao Jiayi nodded gently, then added, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you, it’s just…”
“No need to explain, I understand. Telekinesis Awakeners are so rare, there must be complications.”
Lin Qing shook his head slightly and said, “I know everyone has their secrets. Since it’s not convenient for you to share, I won’t pry. Today… I simply want to understand your abilities.”
Zhao Jiayi nodded and replied, “I’ll answer anything I can.”
“I heard Telekinesis Awakeners have strong perceptual abilities?” Lin Qing asked.
“Yes.” Zhao Jiayi nodded, “If I actively use my telekinesis for perception, within a radius of about five hundred meters with me at the center, I can probe everything. If I’m conserving my telekinesis, my intuition, or what you might call a sixth sense, is also very strong.”
“Five hundred meters?”
Lin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, pensive, “The first day you reported at the precinct, did you use telekinesis to see me before you entered the office?”
“Yes.” Zhao Jiayi admitted, somewhat embarrassed, “At that time, I was just casually probing through the door.”
Lin Qing shook his head, “And then you discovered me using the Combat Skill ‘Speed’ to peel an orange?”
