Chapter 320: Chapter 316: Profound Immortal Left Arm · Blazing Rock Funeralist

Time flies like a white horse passing through a crack, disappearing in an instant.

For Zhou Yu, it felt as if he had suddenly traveled to an era of chaotic warfare. Five days seemed like just a few blinks of an eye, quietly passing by.

In a private late-night diner.

Zhou Yu was having a late-night snack with Sakai Tetsuya.

Outside the shop, more than fifty burly men in black suits were fully armed, quietly waiting.

“Time really flies…”

Zhou Yu looked at the plate of chopped but still wriggling octopus, picked up a piece with chopsticks, dipped it in mustard and soy sauce, and put it directly into his mouth, chewing quickly before swallowing.

“The taste is okay, just a bit too troublesome.”

“Boss! Get me a bowl of Lao Gan Ma fried rice!”

“No?”

“Forget it, just plain rice then! Add some sliced dried bonito, some soy sauce, and fry me an egg!”

“Cat rice? It’s not cat rice!”

“Don’t you dare put raw eggs in my rice!”

“I am Chinese, Chinese, you understand?”

Actually, Zhou Yu wasn’t particularly picky about food; he could eat Japanese cuisine too.

But these past few days, his pressure has been too great, and his tolerance for material enjoyment and environmental conditions has been getting lower and lower.

He wanted to taste a bit of his hometown’s flavor, even if it was just a fried egg.

Unfortunately, it was two-thirty in the morning, and most proper dining establishments had already closed.

He could only make do with this place.

While waiting for the boss to cook, Zhou Yu swiftly recalled the events of the recent days, planning specific actions for the future in his mind.

Everything Zhou Yu experienced over these five days was more thrilling and exciting than the combined experiences of the past decade.

Even his failed escape, being captured and returning to the JPN League arena to become an assassin, couldn’t compare to these past few days.

Five days ago, Zhou Yu joined the Profound Immortal Team, becoming a probationary “Profound Immortal Left Arm.”

That evening, he killed the first person he had ever killed in his life.

Zhou Yu did not feel disgusted, nor did he feel a bit nauseous.

Because he knew that the person he killed was a scum indulging in gambling and drugs, manufacturing and smuggling prohibited substances into China, capable of all manner of evil.

On the dark path of justice, once you take the first step, the subsequent journey becomes smoother, and the psychological burden only gets lighter.

Over the course of five days, Zhou Yu personally killed seventeen leaders and officers of enemy Yakuza forces, with upwards of five hundred losses indirectly attributed to him!

On average, he achieved a “hundred-person slash” each day.

Due to frequently summoning the Molten Rock Crow to combat strong enemies and break through gunfire blockades, Zhou Yu quickly made a name for himself—the “Blazing Rock Funeralist”.

However, Zhou Yu did not feel satisfied.

He even felt that he hadn’t done well enough.

Because that “Yin Yang Master” Ogata Shitou had acted even more ruthlessly, seemingly shedding his previous facade of elegance, calmness, and submissiveness, resorting to all sorts of fierce methods, conquering lands with outstanding results, and fully establishing his identity as the “Profound Immortal Right Arm.”

With this thought, Zhou Yu glanced at the plaque on Sakai Tetsuya’s chest, marked with a thunderbolt and cloud.

That was a symbol of membership within the Profound Immortal Team, divided into five levels from low to high. Each higher level added another cloud to the plaque.

Sakai Tetsuya had a plaque with three clouds on his chest, while Zhou Yu had four.

The advancement within the Profound Immortal Team was not about seniority; it demanded accomplishments.

As long as one had enough strength and could make contributions, even great accomplishments, the promotion speed would be like lightning.

Money, power, influence, male or female beauty—anything desired could be obtained as long as one reached a high enough level!

The most terrifying aspect of the Profound Immortal Team was its fairness!

Under “Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan,” with absolute violence, absolute law was enforced, creating absolute fairness!

Even Ogata Shitou and Zhou Yu themselves were originally ordinary “one-cloud level” members of the Profound Immortal Team.

Initially, they possessed only an empty title.

Their subsequent promotion was based on concrete achievements and results over the past few days!

“If I want to reach the ’Five Cloud’ level, pass the probation period, and cement my status as the ’Profound Immortal Left Arm,’ I must make even greater contributions!”

Zhou Yu sighed: “We lack intelligence within the Yakuza forces, have no family background, and cannot find a clue. We need to change our approach and start with the expansion of the JPN League!”

“That Ogata Shitou guy is really ruthless…”

“In just a few days, he’s frightened the Yakuza forces in Hokkaido, the Kantou Region, the Central Region, and the Kansai Region out of their wits. The number of people who died at his hands must exceed three thousand, right?”

“I don’t know how he’s managed to handle relationships. He hasn’t been officially hunted yet.”

“On our side, we’ve only killed over a thousand people, yet we’re getting daily meetings, tied up, fed up beyond belief!”

Zhou Yu mused, eyeing Sakai Tetsuya, who was stuffing sushi, sashimi, and pufferfish soup into his mouth, with furrowed brows: “Fugu is poisonous. This is a critical time; I advise you not to eat too much.”

“You know the leader’s temperament.”

“If anything goes wrong and affects the big picture, even I won’t be able to protect you!”

Sakai Tetsuya grinned cheekily: “Relax, I know my own body. We’ve seized a lot of cultivation resources these past few days, eaten plenty of ’Inner Qi Bowls,’ and cultivated to the First Rank of Inner Qi. As long as I don’t eat raw fugu liver, there shouldn’t be any issues.”

The fugu liver is the most toxic part. There was once a famous, grandiose, and inflated old-hand entertainer in Japan who forced the chef to prepare fugu liver for him. It was bliss while eating, but he dropped dead right after finishing.

That’s a prime example of courting death.

Though Sakai Tetsuya’s cultivation into inner qi has enhanced his physical prowess beyond that of an ordinary person from the past, due to his lower realm of inner qi, it’s insufficient for him to enjoy the taste of raw fugu liver. Even if it’s cooked, he must eat it with caution.

Thus, he simply won’t eat it.

“Inner Qi Bowl” sounds peculiar, but it’s essentially a special kind of rice processed with superpowers. After a simple stir fry, it can be eaten without anything added, with no special taste.

But eating it isn’t for flavor or satiety, but to enhance cultivation and improve the inner qi realm, nothing more.

“As long as you understand that.”

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, pondering: “We owe thanks to Senior Ma Ran’s selfless contributions, which have granted people like us the qualification to cultivate inner qi.”

Reportedly, when initially attempting to learn inner qi, one had to access specific legacy items to infer the acupoint positions and refine the first strand of inner qi.

Now, with the modifications and evolution introduced by the “Prophet” Ma Ran, compared to “Burning Martial Inner Qi” and “Black Rock Inner Qi,” the entry threshold has been lowered by countless times, and the upper system limit raised by multiple levels!

Even ordinary people with no talent can, through cultivating Burning Martial Inner Qi, reach profound realms comparable to some Superpower Users.

This is an opportunity!

However, not all countries and factions can grasp these readily available opportunities.
