The incident at the shopping center didn't attract much attention, and everything was handled through standard procedures.
Xiang Beifei didn't concern himself with these matters, as they had nothing to do with him.
However, he was in a good mood.
Because Lu Hong said that once the procedures were completed, he would help him apply for the bounty. As the captain of the law enforcement team, Lu Hong was almost certain to handle it smoothly.
By the time he returned, it was already evening.
Walking on the road, the noisy crowd gave Xiang Beifei a feeling as if he were in a different world.
He had been in this world for less than a month, feeling both familiar and alien to everything.
In his previous world, he was just an orphan whose parents had died early, relying on relatives to get through school.
That world was not friendly to him.
Coming to this world hadn't improved his situation much either.
But at least he had found a relative here.
Everyone here carried their own system panel, bustling about for their system tasks.
Their goals were clear, whether they were for money or fame, or for strength or family, they all took their system tasks seriously.
The system had become the driving force of their lives.
Sometimes, Xiang Beifei would ponder.
In his previous world, where nobody had systems, what exactly was the difference from this one?
Back in that world, weren't the adults driven by car loans, mortgages, family, and the need to support parents and children, all reasons for everyone to rise early, sleep late, and squeeze onto buses to go to work and earn a living?
These burdens carried by adults were the tasks they had to accomplish in their lives.
In this system world, these life tasks had been systematized into system tasks.
Whether it was the previous world or this system world,
everyone had to advance towards their goals.
Essentially, there was no difference between the two worlds.
Of course, the people here possessed much stronger abilities.
Murder, destruction, battles... all were almost foreseeable.
The incident between Lu Hong and Chen Gang had given Xiang Beifei a deeper impression of this world.
Xiang Beifei was gradually adapting to the rhythm of this world.
Those at the bottom struggled to complete system tasks for their livelihood.
Lu Hong's physical condition could withstand those reverberations because he was a master of the Meridian Opening phase, but Xiang Beifei definitely could not.
This made him realize the necessity of improving his combat abilities and physical condition.
Reflecting on the blazing fist Lu Hong displayed tonight, its explosive force left a deep impression on him. Every punch Lu Hong threw almost seemed to spin the air current, as if igniting the air itself.
"The fire can burn on the fists; this must be a cultivation technique given by Uncle Lu's system, Xiaohei, can I learn such a thing?" Xiang Beifei inquired.
"Woof woof woof!"
Xiaohei rolled over plumply on the bed.
"Oh, I see!"
Xiang Beifei nodded thoughtfully.
Any cultivation technique gifted by the system actually relies on one's own spiritual power to manifest.
Xiaohei can turn system rewards obtained from others into spiritual power crystals because fundamentally, all systems aim to transform spiritual power into something absorbable by the body.
And spiritual power is present in all cultivators' bodies; it is their source of power.
What Xiaohei meant was, as long as the method is right, he could also use his own spiritual power to execute those abilities.
This ability could be learned through "Learn by Analogy," but the premise is that he first needs to grasp one thing, then he can quickly master other variations of it.
That means, if he could learn Lu Hong's flame fist, next time he would be able to learn any technique involving the use of fire, not just limited to the flame fist.
He could learn flame palm, flame foot, flame leg, sparking all around, fire three feet high, fire at one's heels, fire under one's butt.
Just thinking about it is exhilarating!
Xiang Beifei tried throwing a punch into the air.
Aside from the whooshing sound of the air, no fire was generated.
"I need to ask Uncle Lu for guidance; I wonder if he would be willing to teach me."
Xiang Beifei pondered.
The next day, he eagerly called Lu Hong to express his intentions.
"You want to learn martial arts from me?"
Lu Hong seemed very surprised.
"Yes, I just awakened my system and want to learn techniques related to combat," said Xiang Beifei.
"Sure, if you want to learn, I naturally won't be stingy, but be prepared mentally; learning martial arts requires great determination and the spirit to endure hardships. It's definitely not something you can master overnight."
Lu Hong agreed readily. There was no way he could refuse the son of Xiang Tianxing wanting to learn martial arts from him.
"I understand," Xiang Beifei was aware of these things.
"Then come find me after class. I work night shifts, and if I'm not out on a call, I can teach you," Lu Hong said.
