Chapter 187: Searching for Zhang Yangzhou
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
About half an hour later, with Lin Yan’s endless blood energy supply, 10,000 tiny people started from nothing and practiced the Five Animal Hands Technique and the Dragon-Shaped Fist…
They had even reached 100% proficiency in Whale Torrent Fist and Phoenix Spear. Only the Stone Pagoda was incomplete and could not be perfected.
Looking at the sky outside, it was almost time for the afternoon roll call.
Lin Yan stopped for the time being and allowed his clones to hide in his body. He stood up and went out to the martial arts arena again.
“Deduction can’t be done blindly. Without a sufficient number of Force Features as a reference, even deduction is just random.
“Therefore, I still have to collect more Force Features. When Liu Lanqing returns, I’ll go to the Demon Suppression Division and exchange for those Force Features like Gloomy Wind and Heavy Mountain…”
As he thought about it, he arrived at the drill ground.
It was still a roll call. Lin Yan read out the names mechanically, thinking about how to deduce the Force Features.
He was reading.
“Zhang Yangzhou.”
No one answered.
Lin Yan frowned slightly. “Zhang Yangzhou!”
There was still no answer from below.
At this moment, someone raised his hand.
“Lord Lin, Zhang Yangzhou said that his stomach hurt and he went to the medical center to treat it.”
Lin Yan said coldly, “He went to see a doctor again? Last time, it was a headache. Before that, it was a fall. This time, it’s a stomachache. Is he here to participate in the Dingdeng Genius Battle or to see a doctor!”
There was a burst of laughter below.
The disciple smiled awkwardly and lowered his hand. He secretly cursed Zhang Yangzhou for being too stupid. How could he use the same excuse three times?
Did he take others for fools?
Lin Yan didn’t say anything else. He picked up the cinnabar brush beside him and ticked a cross beside his name. There were already two crosses in front.
This Zhang Yangzhou had already missed class for the third time. The previous two times, he had applied for leave from him. This time, he did not look for him. Ling Shuangxue would definitely deduct his points.
The roll call continued and quickly ended. Lin Yan went down the stage and quietly waited for the afternoon teacher to come for class.
The last lesson in the afternoon was personally taught by Ling Shuangxue. The content was not much, and Ling Shuangxue explained tirelessly, sometimes in-depth and sometimes shallow. She explained very thoroughly.
At this moment, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground, and a muffled sound came from the depths of the ground.
However, all the genius seeds, including Lin Yan, had normal expressions.
These tremors often appeared in the past few days. At first, Lin Yan thought that it was an earthquake, but later on, he found out that people from the prefecture capital were investigating the underground passageways, looking for the way Guo Fan and the others had come.
Lin Yan had seen the tools they used to investigate from afar. It was clearly wrapped in iron. It was half the height of a person and was a round platform-shaped rough machinery. The surface was even rusty, and there were several boxes of gunpowder.
This commotion meant that they had discovered something and were using gunpowder to blow it up.
“So, the passageway between the prefecture capital and Ding’an City is really underground?
“What about the ground? Why can’t we walk?”
As his thoughts wandered, on Ling Shuangxue’s side, the class was already over.
“Students, the one-month training has ended.
“Three days later, in this martial arts drill ground, there will be two mission boards. One will be the exploration board, and the other will be the bounty board.
“You might not know, but fifteen kilometers outside this city, there’s a mysterious ancient ruin.
“Your mission is to explore that ancient ruin and bring out valuable information and items from it. Leave it to our Qianyuan Academy to judge the value and set the points.
“Three months.
In the end, those with high comprehensive points can not only choose your favorite faction at will, but they will also receive generous rewards.
“The situation of the ruins, the specific rules, and the mission arrangements will be announced in words in the martial arts arena later.
“Remember, the ruins are dangerous. You can’t act alone. It’s best if you move with five to ten people as a team.
“Do you understand?”
Everyone’s patience had almost worn out after listening to the class quietly for a month. At this moment, they rubbed their fists and shouted, “Yes, yes!”
Ling Shuangxue nodded and got off the platform. She glanced at Lin Yan and gestured for him to go over.
Lin Yan had no choice but to walk over.
“Lin Yan, do you know that person called Zhang Yangzhou?”
“Lord Ling, Zhang Yang Continent is from Ning City. It’s a lower bronze city. According to his fellows, his family is poor and his parents died early. His talent is very outstanding.”
In order not to let Ling Shuangxue catch him red-handed, Lin Yan paid attention to the details of everything he did. He had long asked around about people like Zhang Yangzhou.
Ling Shuangxue nodded. “It’s not normal for him to not arrive three times in a row.”
Lin Yan nodded in agreement.
Ling Shuangxue narrowed her eyes. “Lin Yan, go and take a look. Is he really sick or is there something wrong?”
Lin Yan didn’t say anything like “I’ll return to the Demon Suppression Division immediately”. He only cupped his hands and said, “Yes, ma’am.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Ling Shuangxue gritted her teeth slightly and looked at Lin Yan’s back as he walked out. “This Lin Yan is indeed very wary of me. He actually accepted such trivial matters without a word.
“The key is that everything is done beautifully every time, so 1 don’t have any room to flare up.
“Speaking of which, after a month, I really didn’t find anything unusual about him…”
Recalling the various investigation reports and details she had received over the past few days, they were completely unrelated to Lin Yan. No matter how she looked at it, they were two completely independent incidents.
A look of contemplation flashed across Ling Shuangxue’s eyes. “Could it be that the factions that sent Lin Xiaozhi and looked for her are really unrelated to that mysterious organization that does things in the name of the Spirit God Sect?”
Lin Yan left the martial arts arena.
Zhang Yangzhou was just an insignificant student who was just playing hooky. However, Ling Shuangxue specially instructed Lin Yan to investigate him. It was obvious that she was deliberately making things difficult for him.
However, his fists were not as hard as hers, and he was working for her. He would endure it.
In any case, it wouldn’t take much effort to investigate. The most important thing was not to let Ling Shuangxue have something on him.
He first followed his memory and checked the list to find Zhang Yangzhou’s residence.
However, Zhang Yangzhou’s fellow countryman said that after Zhang Yangzhou left at noon, he had yet to return.
“Do you know which clinic he went to?”
“I don’t know… But I remember that when we asked him how he was, he seemed to have mentioned that there are only three medical centers in the inner city, but none of them can treat his illness.”
Lin Yan nodded. From the sound of it, Zhang Yangzhou had gone to more than one medical center.
Forget it, 1’11 just treat it as a walk.
First, he went to two famous medical centers in the inner city. He casually glanced around and did not see Zhang Yangzhou.
Then, he went to the third medical center and glanced inside. “Huh? Elder Liu!”
The person sitting inside was Elder Liu, whom he often saw in Qinghong Martial Arts School.
“Isn’t this Shi Mu?”
The medical center was very empty. There were no patients. Only Elder Liu sat in front of a square gray table, drinking tea and reading books.
Lin Yan simply walked in. “Elder Liu, long time no see. How have you been?”
“Not bad. My luck is not bad. This old bag of bones can be considered to have survived.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Lin Yan revealed his real name.
They talked about the various changes in Ding’an City and sighed.
“Xiao Lin, why are you here?”
Lin Yan casually told him about Zhang Yangzhou.
Unexpectedly, Elder Liu revealed a thoughtful expression. “I know those geniuses of the Dingdeng Genius Battle. Speaking of which, a strange person came to my place previously and asked some strange questions before leaving.”
“Strange person?”
“That’s right. He’s a young man, but he disguised himself as an old man. However, he doesn’t know that I have a doctor’s eyes. From the details, I can tell at a glance that he’s not from Ding’an City.”
He’s not from Ding’an City? Then he’s a genius seed. He even disguised himself? When did he come?”
“It’s about this time. At that time, I was still puzzled. Aren’t genius seeds supposed to go to the school? How did he come out?”
Lin Yan recalled that genius seeds were all Strength Realm experts with strong and healthy bodies. In the entire month, Zhang Yangzhou was the only one who had applied for leave many times.
Why did he disguise himself when he came to the medical center?
“Then this person was very likely Zhang Yangzhou. Elder Liu, what question did he ask?”
It’s a very strange question. He asked me if I’d treated a little girl who…”
Elder Liu’s facial muscles relaxed, and he revealed a thoughtful expression. “Right, he asked me if I’d treated a little girl who couldn’t be woken up no matter what.
“Isn’t it strange? How can there be…
“Huh? Lin Yan, what’s wrong? Are you alright?”
However, Lin Yan’s expression had already changed, and the cold light in his eyes rose like a tidal wave.
“No, nothing. Elder Liu, what did you tell him?”
Of course I chased him out. Wasn’t he purely here to cause trouble? Who can’t wake up after they fall asleep? Wouldn’t they be dead?”
“That’s right.” Lin Yan took a deep breath and hid all his emotions. “In that case, 1 won’t disturb you anymore. Goodbye.”
After leaving the clinic, Lin Yan turned around and his expression instantly darkened.
“Zhang Yangzhou… is looking for Xiaozhi!”
Moreover, he, or the person who arranged for him to do something, was definitely very knowledgeable about Xiaozhi’s illness. That was why he was directly looking for a little girl who could not wake up!
This was completely much more detailed than the ambiguous description in the Thunder Token previously!
Moreover, Zhang Yangzhou’s strategy was completely correct.
Lin Yan had indeed looked for a medical center to see Xiaozhi’s illness. He had found more than one.
However, at that time, he was in Dragon Gate Pavilion and could not afford bringing Xiaozhi to the inner city to treat her illness. Therefore, the two medical centers were in the middle circle.
If he didn’t have a cheat and didn’t have his current strength, even if Xiaozhi wasn’t captured by the Black Tiger Gang, she would have been found by Zhang Yangzhou in this way!
Lin Yan’s heart slowly sped up. He was nervous and excited.
The nervous thing was that the person who was looking for Xiaozhi had really come looking for her!
He was excited because… this was also his chance to see the true secret behind Xiaozhi!
Zhang Yangzhou had applied for leave a total of three times. Presumably, he had already inquired at the three medical centers in the inner city in the previous two times. He did not go to the medical centers during the rest of the time. Perhaps he was worried that his fellows or other geniuses would encounter him and discover the secret.
Lin Yan suddenly sped up and left the inner city.
“Then he must be in the outer city now, and he’s asking around in various medical centers in the outer city.
“After all, in the past month, all the genius seeds were not allowed to leave the inner city to prevent them from interfering with the normal life of Ding’an City. They were only released today.”
Lin Yan was very fast and soon arrived at the first medical center he brought Xiaozhi to see. This medical center had been closed for a while.
He continued forward and came to the second clinic that he had taken Xiaozhi
to.
This medical center was open. Lin Yan hid in the corner of a teahouse opposite. He looked inside and his gaze froze.
In the medical center, an old man with white hair and beard was chatting with the doctor in the medical center.
If not for Elder Liu’s reminder, Lin Yan would have ignored this elder at a glance.
However, after taking a closer look, he immediately saw the problem.
Although this person looked old, his back and arms were strong. He did not look like he had lost any muscles at all. Occasionally, his wrists and ankles were also fair. Clearly, this was Zhang Yangzhou in a disguise!
Suddenly, the old man’s body trembled slightly. He was clearly excited.
“He found out…”
Lin Yan’s eyes gathered a sharp divine light like an eagle’s eyes as he slowly exhaled.
“He has already discovered it…”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Only Elder Liu sat in front of a square gray table, drinking tea and reading books.Lin Yan simply walked in. Elder Liu, long time no see. How have you been?Not bad. My luck is not bad. This old bag of bones can be considered to have survived.The two of them chatted for a while before Lin Yan revealed his real name.They talked about the various changes in Ding'an City and sighed.Xiao Lin, why are you here?Lin Yan casually told him about Zhang Yangzhou.Unexpectedly, Elder Liu revealed a thoughtful expression. I know those geniuses of the Dingdeng Genius Battle. Speaking of which, a strange person came to my place previously and asked some strange questions before leaving.Strange person?That's right. He's a young man, but he disguised himself as an old man. However, he doesn't know that I have a doctor's eyes. From the details, I can tell at a glance that he's not from Ding'an City.He's not from Ding'an City? Then he's a genius seed. He even disguised himself? When did he come?It's about this time. At that time, I was still puzzled. Aren't genius seeds supposed to go to the school? How did he come out?Lin Yan recalled that genius seeds were all Strength Realm experts with strong and healthy bodies. In the entire month, Zhang Yangzhou was the only one who had applied for leave many times.Why did he disguise himself when he came to the medical center?Then this person was very likely Zhang Yangzhou. Elder Liu, what question did he ask?It's a very strange question. He asked me if I'd treated a little girl whoElder Liu's facial muscles relaxed, and he revealed a thoughtful expression. Right, he asked me if I'd treated a little girl who couldn't be woken up no matter what.Isn't it strange? How can there beHuh? Lin Yan, what's wrong? Are you alright?However, Lin Yan's expression had already changed, and the cold light in his eyes rose like a tidal wave.No, nothing. Elder Liu, what did you tell him?Of course I chased him out. Wasn't he purely here to cause trouble? Who can't wake up after they fall asleep? Wouldn't they be dead?That's right. Lin Yan took a deep breath and hid all his emotions. In that case, 1 won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye.After leaving the clinic, Lin Yan turned around and his expression instantly darkened.Zhang Yangzhou is looking for Xiaozhi!Moreover, he, or the person who arranged for him to do something, was definitely very knowledgeable about Xiaozhi's illness. That was why he was directly looking for a little girl who could not wake up!This was completely much more detailed than the ambiguous description in the Thunder Token previously!Moreover, Zhang Yangzhou's strategy was completely correct.Lin Yan had indeed looked for a medical center to see Xiaozhi's illness. He had found more than one.However, at that time, he was in Dragon Gate Pavilion and could not afford bringing Xiaozhi to the inner city to treat her illness. Therefore, the two medical centers were in the middle circle.If he didn't have a cheat and didn't have his current strength, even if Xiaozhi wasn't captured by the Black Tiger Gang, she would have been found by Zhang Yangzhou in this way!Lin Yan's heart slowly sped up. He was nervous and excited.The nervous thing was that the person who was looking for Xiaozhi had really come looking for her!He was excited because this was also his chance to see the true secret behind Xiaozhi!Zhang Yangzhou had applied for leave a total of three times. Presumably, he had already inquired at the three medical centers in the inner city in the previous two times. He did not go to the medical centers during the rest of the time. Perhaps he was worried that his fellows or other geniuses would encounter him and discover the secret.Lin Yan suddenly sped up and left the inner city.Then he must be in the outer city now, and he's asking around in various medical centers in the outer city.After all, in the past month, all the genius seeds were not allowed to leave the inner city to prevent them from interfering with the normal life of Ding'an City. They were only released today.Lin Yan was very fast and soon arrived at the first medical center he brought Xiaozhi to see. This medical center had been closed for a while.He continued forward and came to the second clinic that he had taken Xiaozhito.This medical center was open. Lin Yan hid in the corner of a teahouse opposite. He looked inside and his gaze froze.In the medical center, an old man with white hair and beard was chatting with the doctor in the medical center.If not for Elder Liu's reminder, Lin Yan would have ignored this elder at a glance.However, after taking a closer look, he immediately saw the problem.Although this person looked old, his back and arms were strong. He did not look like he had lost any muscles at all. Occasionally, his wrists and ankles were also fair. Clearly, this was Zhang Yangzhou in a disguise!Suddenly, the old man's body trembled slightly. He was clearly excited.He found outLin Yan's eyes gathered a sharp divine light like an eagle's eyes as he slowly exhaled.He has already discovered it
