Chapter 74: Chapter 74 The Resentful Spear_1
"Not interested."
You responded indifferently, not even bothering to give her another glance. Such people are everywhere nowadays, and the sight of them makes you feel disgusted.
"Come on, teach me, it’s my first time handling a gun."
Just as you were about to refuse, Yang Kai suddenly approached with a grin and said to the girl, "Beauty, my shooting technique is not bad either. How about I teach you?"
"Never mind then, hmph."
The girl huffed coldly, turned around to adjust her clothes, and lay down on the ground.
"Alright, all of you step back."
Instructor Zhang urged you to move away. Fan Yi hung her head and walked forward woodenly. You sighed softly and followed her.
"Bang!"
Another gunshot!
"Ah!"
A scream!
The girl’s piercing scream was like a knife scraping across glass, agonizing everyone’s eardrums.
Turning your head, you saw that the Type 95 automatic rifle in that girl’s hands had somehow fired again, and in her fright, she threw the gun aside, which discharged another round upon hitting the ground!
What made you stare in shock was that the gun was now pointing at Fan Yi!
"Bang!"
The instant you heard the gunshot, your pupils dilated, and you could even see the details of the bullet being fired!
Without a second thought, you rammed into Fan Yi’s back.
There was no avoiding it; it was too late!
At that moment, you watched, eyes wide open, as the bullet slowly approached and entered your left shoulder. You could even hear the bullet tearing through the fabric, piercing your flesh, and grinding against bone!
Although the Type 95 automatic rifle uses 5.88mm standard rounds, the close distance made you feel the bullet traveling through your body, about to burst out of your back!
You couldn’t let the bullet harm Fan Yi!
As the thought flashed through your mind, your body was already spinning.
Relying on your left eye to dramatically slow down the bullet’s speed in your sight, you boldly caught it with your own right hand!
Hu! Hu! Hu!
The long passage just described indeed seemed superfluous, but the actual event took place in only a fraction of a second.
Li Yang, beside you, couldn’t even see clearly what happened; after the gunshot, he saw you spin around to stand, with both hands hanging down. Blood flowed from your left shoulder down your arm, and in the palm of your right hand, you were holding the bullet.
"Quick! Go get the medic!"
Li Yang suddenly bellowed at Instructor Zhang. Liao Yong and Yang Kai were already sprinting to the medical room before the instructor could start running.
"Are you, are you okay? You’re bleeding!" Fan Yi stood in front of you helplessly, her face pale with fright and her eyes brimming with tears.
Seeing Fan Yi’s expression, you smiled.
Slowly, you opened your fingers and let the bullet fall to the ground.
This wasn’t a movie scene. In films, a person shot by a bullet just ends up with a small hole and then covers it with a gauze and everything seems fine.
You were well aware of the situation. The bullet had made a small hole smaller than a centimeter in your left shoulder, but the kinetic energy had torn a wound nearly the size of a bowl in your back, and it was a bloody, fleshly mess!
"What were you thinking? Why did you fire? Who the hell told you to shoot?!"
Li Yang charged at the girl and roared furiously!
"I, I, I don’t know, I really don’t know!" the girl was completely shocked and couldn’t stop crying.
"Instructor, there’s a problem with the gun... act fast... get the bullet out," you managed to say through clenched teeth, enduring the intense pain.
When Li Yang heard this, he immediately picked up the rifle that had fallen to the ground and was about to remove the magazine when another shot rang out!
Bang!
Fortunately, Li Yang pointed the barrel into the sky in time!
"What’s going on with this gun..."
"Empty the bullets! Quick!"
A voice of a middle-aged man, deep and resonant, came through Li Yang’s radio.
Following the instructions, Li Yang aimed into the sky and emptied the remaining bullets from the magazine. Once the magazine was empty, the gun fell silent.
They couldn’t see it, but you could tell clearly that the gun was enveloped in Resentful Qi, extremely dense Resentful Qi!
At that moment, the man in the Zhongshan suit and the medic rushed out together.
The medic immediately cut open your shirt with scissors, revealing your toned physique with a six-pack that was not excessively muscular but very well-proportioned, in front of everyone.
Naturally, you could hear the screams from many of the girls.
The medic first looked at your left shoulder wound. He rubbed his eyes as if he had seen incorrectly, because the bleeding had already stopped!
On your back, the military doctor discovered in shock that although the blood had not completely stopped, a significant portion had already coagulated, leaving only a small amount still flowing.
"This... this is incredible, your body..."
"Cough cough!" The military doctor was cut off by the man in the Zhongshan suit, who said to him, "First, let’s take Student Li to the infirmary."
"Alright!" The military doctor looked at you and asked, "Can you walk?"
You nodded slightly: "I can manage."
"Then let’s go."
Before leaving, the man in the Zhongshan suit took the rifle tainted with heavy Resentful Qi from Li Yang’s hands, and his brows couldn’t help but furrow deeply.
However, he didn’t say much, and several people followed you toward the infirmary.
Because such an incident had occurred, the shooting training was also halted. The girls, unlike the boys, had no great interest in guns, and due to your injury, they instinctively felt a sense of fear towards firearms.
"My god, this is too unbelievable!"
As you lay on the hospital bed in the infirmary, and the military doctor was preparing to dress your wounds, you let out an astonished exclamation.
"I’ve been a doctor for over thirty years and have never seen anything so miraculous," the military doctor said, looking at you with an expression full of excitement. "Student Li, what... what’s with your body? How did the wounds heal to such a terrifying degree in less than a few minutes?"
"Terrifying?" Yang Kai was displeased upon hearing this, "Hey, uncle, could you please be more accurate with your words?"
"Oh, I apologize, I’m just too surprised. Such healing ability, if it could be researched..."
"Enough!" You turned your head, your face still pale, "My body is different from that of a normal person. There are some things I really shouldn’t discuss, so I’d appreciate your discretion."
The man in the Zhongshan suit pulled the military doctor aside into a corner, whispered a few words into his ear, after which the doctor looked at you with a surprised and inquisitive gaze before nodding and leaving.
The man in the Zhongshan suit approached you and said to Yang Kai and the others, "Would you mind stepping outside for a moment? I have something to say to Student Li."
Seeing that Yang Kai was reluctant to leave, Wei Shuxian pushed him: "Let’s go, there are some things we’re not meant to know."
The three of them left, and Fan Yi stood quietly by the side, head bowed looking at you. It seemed like in her eyes, at this moment, only you existed; she was totally unaware of the man in the Zhongshan suit’s presence.
The man in the Zhongshan suit smiled at Fan Yi and said, "Student, could you possibly..."
"No," Fan Yi shook her head.
"I have something to say to Student Li."
"I just won’t listen then."
Fan Yi’s words amused you; sometimes this girl managed to be seriously funny.
You knew Fan Yi was a girl who was stubborn to the end. You turned to the man in the Zhongshan suit and said, "Uncle, you might as well speak freely."
After pondering for a moment, the man in the Zhongshan suit spoke up: "My surname is Du, I am called Du Qingming. I belong to a very special department of the country, the Chu Sect; currently, I am the head of the Chu Sect in Yuhang City."
"Chu Sect?"
It’s like one has no luck looking for shoes, only to find them effortlessly without even searching.
You immediately sat up excitedly and said to Du Qingming, "Du, Uncle Du, I want to ask you about someone."
"Oh? Is there someone you know in the Chu Sect?"
"No." You shook your head slightly, "I have a friend who has contracted a strange illness. Previously, I heard from a disheveled old Taoist priest that his senior fellow Taoist could cure this disease. However, he didn’t know the whereabouts of his senior fellow, but he mentioned that someone in the Chu Sect should know where to find him."
Du Qingming’s eyebrows raised with a laugh: "I know the disheveled old Taoist priest you’re talking about."
"Really?"
"Yes, does he like to drink a lot?"
"That’s right." You nodded.
Du Qingming continued with a smile: "And then, does he try to sell the so-called secret manuals from his tattered cloth bag for one hundred yuan apiece?"
"Exactly." As Du Qingming said this, your confidence grew.
However, his next words caused you to frown involuntarily: "The person the old Taoist priest mentioned, I know who she is, but you can’t meet her."
"Why not?"
"It’s not just you; even I can’t meet her."
"Could it be that she has already..."
"No, no, she’s very healthy, it’s just that I don’t have the authority to see her."
Du Qingming stopped there, and you knew that to continue this conversation, you would probably have to understand why he had come to see you today.
"Uncle Du, are you trying to recruit me into the Chu Sect?"
"Correct." Du Qingming’s smile formed a curve, "You are very intelligent. Among the people I know, you would definitely rank in the top three. And you are the youngest among them; to have such a temperament at such a young age, your future potentials are boundless."
You gave a light chuckle and sighed softly, "Please, don’t make fun of me. I, Li Muyun, have nothing to boast of. I’m just an ordinary city youth. All I hope for now is to study hard during my four years in college, find a good job after graduation, get married, have children, and live a peaceful life."
"Is that so? Is that really what you think?"
Du Qingming looked at you with a smile.
You shrugged: "What else can I think?"
Du Qingming didn’t say it out loud. He picked up the Type 95 automatic rifle, heavy with Resentful Qi, from the table nearby and put it into your hands.
