Luo Jun was feeling chilled all over: "Tao Zhiliang's driver and bodyguard didn't see anyone contacting Tao Zhiliang. In the car, Tao Zhiliang was constantly cursing Ye Qingzhou. Later, Tao Zhiliang said someone was talking to him, but the bodyguard and driver didn't hear anything. It seemed only Tao Zhiliang could hear it. Shortly after, he suddenly died of a strange illness."

Bai Yuanhu's expression turned serious upon hearing this: "Could it be transmitting voice to the mind? But if it truly was Ye Qingzhou, then there's only one possibility left..."

The two didn't speak, but both were clear in their hearts.

The ability to transmit voice to Tao Zhiliang's mind and silently kill the person from afar could only be possible if Ye Qingzhou had already mastered Yin Spirit Emergence!

Bai Yuanhu's headache worsened, feeling the few remaining hairs on his head rustling as they fell.

"Do you think he did it?"

"I've heard Ye Qingzhou has a friend coming from Three Pure Ones Mountain."

Luo Jun didn't confirm or deny, merely weakly responding.

Bai Yuanhu shook his head: "You're talking about Leon, right? It's unlikely. Even Leon doesn't know Yin Spirit Emergence, how could he secretly teach it to Ye Qingzhou?"

"President, how do you suggest we report this matter?"

Luo Jun now had no desire to get involved in anything related to Ye Qingzhou — a suspect involved with Yin Spirit Emergence at only 17, a formidable figure no small professional level martial artist like him could provoke.

It's important to know that even in Three Pure Ones Mountain, those who mastered Yin Spirit Emergence were at least Master level Elders!

Bai Yuanhu sighed: "Report truthfully, using the hospital's autopsy report as the standard. As for any opinions from the Lian City Commerce Association, let them send people to investigate themselves!"

"Understood!"

......

On Monday, Ye Qingzhou returned to school as usual.

Upon entering the classroom, Ye Qingzhou saw everyone looking at him with fearful eyes.

After sitting down, Ye Qingzhou asked Huang Liwen, who was industriously copying homework: "Did something happen in class? Everyone's looking at me strangely."

"Everyone knows about the murder you committed!"

"???"

Ye Qingzhou then opened his phone and tapped into the homepage of the World Martial Arts Discussion website, finally understanding the cause of the matter.

Observing the Hidden Dragon List at that moment, a tremendous change had occurred.

Ranked first, Ye Qingzhou.

Ranked second, Li Jianshu.

Ranked third, Wu Yuelong.

Ranked fourth, Yann Xiyue.

Ranked fifth, Wang Huaxian.

Ranked sixth, Niu Taijie.

Ranked seventh, Huang Guanghong.

Ranked eighth, Luo Yunchuan.

Ranked ninth, Lu Yiming.

Ranked tenth, Zhou Zhihao.

Ye Qingzhou noticed that he had climbed from seventh position directly to first, while Wang Huaxian, originally ranked third, had fallen to fifth, pushing Huang Guanghong from fifth to seventh.

As for Qin Haoyu, previously ranked sixth, he fell out of the top twenty, his spot taken by Niu Taijie who hadn't been on the list before.

The dramatic shifts in the rankings were secondary; the key was the newly added battle record query feature.

Ye Qingzhou lightly tapped on his name, and then saw his recent public combat records.

Such as in the Yuelu Mountain Secret Realm, he defeated the top fighter of Zhongnan University's Martial Arts Club, Gu Mingye, and later at the Phoenix Cup, he fought one against a hundred, crushing the heroes, and on Saturday night, publicly slayed Wu Baojun, a newly professional Ninth Rank powerhouse.

These public battle records were all meticulously listed on the Hidden Dragon List by the World Martial Arts Discussion, strongly certifying Ye Qingzhou's ascension to first place on the Hidden Dragon List.

However, the recent encounter to save Huang Liwen, and the battle against Yann Xiyue and Yaoo Yexin, were not recorded.

Ye Qingzhou sighed, the Hidden Dragon List reacted swiftly — now he truly became the firefly in the dark night, the conspicuous figure in the Martial Arts World.

Especially by defeating Wu Baojun, a powerful professional Ninth Rank Martial Artist, with absolute superiority, many found it incredible, shattering their perceptions.

It's important to realize, Wu Baojun was Zhao Baoming's inner disciple, his martial arts qualifications were inevitably superior.

Moreover, Wu Baojun had already practiced the Divine Skill "Heaven-Devouring Thunder-Eating", mastered the Super-Tier Martial Technique Profound Thunder Martial Armor, theoretically his survival ability was first-rate.

Yet, under Ye Qingzhou's attack, Wu Baojun was instantly killed without any ability to resist, astonishing everyone and leaving them deeply surprised.

And for ordinary high school students, the words "murder" instilled a sense of fear, which was why they looked at Ye Qingzhou with wary eyes.

In the classroom, Xiao Yuanyuan finally mustered the courage to cautiously approach: "Ye Qingzhou, did you really kill someone the night before last?"

Ye Qingzhou nodded, his expression serious: "Yes, you don't need to be afraid, I made sure to leave the person with a whole corpse, he died peacefully."

"..."

Xiao Yuanyuan was initially quite frightened, but upon hearing Ye Qingzhou's words, she felt rather amused and could only respond: "Oh, you're actually quite a nice person."

"Naturally."

Ye Qingzhou always considered himself a true gentleman who conquered people with virtue.

Then he took out the Dou Character Seal he obtained from Wu Baojun, carefully playing with it in his hand, pondering: "It's said this object conceals mysteries. Gathering all the seals might yield a supreme martial skill. Alas, I wonder who's holding the other eight seals."

At this moment, Huang Liwen had just finished copying his homework, feeling refreshed. Seeing Ye Qingzhou fiddling with a strange seal, he became curious: "Where did you get that from? Is it for playing like a walnut?"

He then asked Ye Qingzhou for it, held it in his hand, fiddled a bit, resulting in cracking sounds from the seal, finally bursting open and revealing a jewel wrapped inside.

Huang Liwen was frightened, quickly returned it to Ye Qingzhou: "I just touched it!"

Ye Qingzhou's eyes sparkled, smiling: "Brother Wen, you truly are my lucky star."
