Kill Me More Times, I’ll Become Invincible

"What? You want to torture me? Hurry up, even if I frown, consider me defeated."

As soon as Qiao Mu heard Wei En’s threat of torture, he immediately became excited, even more than Wei En himself.

Being an extraordinarily tolerant person to pain, Qiao Mu said he wasn’t scared at all.

Of course, he is not a masochist, he won’t get more excited as the pain increases.

His strong desire for a high quality death outweighs his resistance to pain.

Wei En frowned slightly.

"This person refuses to listen to reason and is stubborn. Moreover, the things he says about the Qiao family have many loopholes…"

"How can I help him cover up so that the emperor won’t suspect me?"

"If we can’t find any clues about the Qiao family, and the emperor gets angry, this person might be executed in a few days…"

Wei En is not a member of the Wuji Association.

Being known as the world’s number one bounty hunter who detests evil, he naturally cannot associate himself with a martial arts butcher covered in blood.

It’s just that he received a great favor from the Martial Saint when he was young, owing a huge debt of gratitude.

Now, he heard that the Martial Saint has already died. One of his last wishes was to fulfill his promise by passing on top martial arts techniques to Qiao Mu who is imprisoned, nurturing him as a martial arts seed.

This kind of thing doesn’t go against Wei En’s principles, as the Wuji Association didn’t ask him to help with things like releasing prisoners or jailbreaks. So, he nodded and agreed.

As a bounty hunter, before coming for interrogation, he also specifically investigated information about the Qiao family, including Qiao Zhong.

Qiao’s family, including Qiao Zhong, became famous in the capital city recently.

Originally, Qiao’s family’s reputation was limited to Nan Province and didn’t reach the Imperial Capital of Zhong Province.

However, recently, Qiao’s family gained popularity due to being associated with the Martial Saint, and their reputation soared.

A few days ago, the Martial Saint, who had been dormant for forty years, suddenly appeared, and the story of Qiao Zhong challenging the Martial Saint spread.

In just about two weeks, the Martial Saint tragically died under the heavenly thunder of an immortal, which was a shocking event for ordinary martial artists.

If the appearance of the Martial Saint caused a tsunami in the rivers and lakes.

Then, soon after, the tragic death of the Martial Saint was like the collapse of the sky.

Whether it’s the tsunami or the sky collapsing, Qiao Zhong’s name is closely associated with the Martial Saint.

In the assassination of Emperor Yonghe event, all the assassins of the Wuji Association were wiped out, and Qiao Zhong, as the only survivor saved by Emperor Yonghe, naturally attracted the attention of the world.

Wei En was very interested in Qiao Zhong because of this.

The more he searched, the more amazed he became.

There is a great terror between life and death. In this world, people who can disregard life and death and hold on to their principles are very few.

And Qiao Zhong, in front of him, was obviously one of them.

"He is just like Hai Wuya, someone who is not afraid of life and death and can remain calm even in prison."

At that time, Wei En praised him and took over the tasks of the Wuji Association.

However, Wei En now felt remorse in his heart.

He originally thought that bringing a manual was just a simple and effortless thing. But when he arrived in this heavenly prison, he discovered that Qiao Mu’s meridians had long been severed, and his martial arts path had basically been cut off.

In this way, the situation became awkward.

If Wei En continues to follow the Wuji Association’s suggestion and takes out the secret book to give it to Qiao Mu, it would be too rigid.

It’s like giving erotic paintings to a eunuch, it’s extremely cruel.

How much sorrow can one bear, it’s just like a eunuch entering a brothel.

At this moment, Wei En feels troubled. If he takes out this secret book, he fears that Qiao Mu will think he is mocking him. Despite knowing that his meridians are blocked, he tempts him with this top-notch secret book.

In the end, he still didn’t take out the secret book from his chest.

"I, Wei En, have always been righteous and detest evil. How can I do such a cruel thing?"

Although he sighs softly in his heart, he maintains a cold and distant demeanor, continuing the interrogation as usual.

Since he can’t help Qiao Mu with his blocked meridians, he can only contribute in other matters to find a sense of peace.

So, he writes on the paper:

"….The Qiao family, where Qiao Zhong belongs, has been a hidden and wandering clan for many years, without a permanent residence. They are not familiar with the recent significant changes in the world. It is suspected that their ancestors have secluded themselves in the mountains or on overseas islands."

"The Qiao family is not prosperous, but they have strict family rules and many family teachings that are passed down, emphasizing self-discipline."

"The Qiao family’s ancestors didn’t have a prominent reputation, indicating a preference for detachment from fame and fortune and being skilled in martial arts…."

To Wei En, the number one detective in the world, it was easy to see through the flaws in Qiao Mu’s words.

Then, he used persuasive words to gradually guide Qiao Mu to discover the flaws, leading him closer to the truth…

"Finally, I succeeded." Wei En wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling a bit tired.

He never expected that as the top detective in the world, there would be times when he helped criminals cover up their lies.

Although he didn’t have much reverence for the laws of Great Yan, this was still the first time he had done something like this, and it was indeed a bit challenging for him.

He stood up and instructed the guard waiting outside the door to take Qiao Mu away and put him back in the prison cell.

He hesitated for a moment and advised the official waiting beside him.

"Do not easily use torture on him. He is an important criminal in the eyes of the emperor and must not be harmed."

"This person has an incredibly strong will and is not afraid of punishment or death. Normal punishment is useless against him."

When Condor Wei En spoke, the officials from the heavenly prison naturally agreed.

As the top divine catcher in the world, Wei En had naturally interacted with the people from the heavenly prison many times and knew what kind of people they were.

When ordinary high-ranking officials entered the heavenly prison, they would immediately be subjected to beatings and various tortures to suppress their arrogance.

If he didn’t bring up this matter, in no time, this Qiao Mu might be subjected to severe torture.

Just as he was about to leave, Wei En suddenly remembered something.

"How has Hai Wuya been recently?"

He is not a member of the Wuji Association, but Hai Wuya can be considered one.

Furthermore, Hai Wuya is also a remarkable person within the gathering of talents in the Wuji Association, being listed as one of the seventy-two wise men, ranking sixtieth.

"He is still studying." replied the official from the heavenly prison.

"Throughout his thirty years in the heavenly prison, he has been studying various books on medical skills, meridians, herbs, and human acupoints. Although he also has some martial arts manuals, his knowledge in that area is not profound. They are merely some basic external martial arts techniques."

"He is indeed extraordinary." nodded Wei En.

"To be able to study books in a place like the heavenly prison, and continuously for thirty years, is truly remarkable."

Hai Wuya is an extraordinary person.

In his early years, he was a somewhat renowned scholar, but unfortunately, he could not pass the imperial examinations year after year.

Displeased, he shaved his head and became a monk, joining the Shaolin Temple that had not yet been destroyed at that time, and became a martial monk.

At that time, everyone thought he had suffered a great blow and wanted to give up studying and focus on martial arts instead.

Little did they know, this person had extraordinary talent in martial arts, specifically the powerful martial arts practiced at Shaolin Temple. His progress was rapid, and within just ten years, he had reached the 4th rank of training strength.

Later on, officials from the imperial court invited him to become a military officer, and he gladly accepted.

People initially thought that when a martial arts superstar emerged, Hai Wuya surprisingly gave up martial arts and became a civil servant. He claimed that he had no interest in fighting on the battlefield or in petty fights, and instead, he chose to serve as an official to help the world and the people, showcasing his knowledge and skills.

He spent another ten years transitioning from a military officer to a civil servant and eventually, at the age of fifty, became the Minister of Rites, a high-ranking official in the current dynasty. His story became well-known and admired.

Hai Wuya later mentioned this past event, stating that when he was young, he received guidance from an esteemed person who told him that practicing martial arts was a shortcut to becoming an official. Thus, he decided to become a monk by shaving his head.

The shortcut for warriors to become officials in the Great Yan Imperial Court is to practice martial arts diligently.

As long as the martial arts are strong enough and there is no tarnish in one’s background, even the worst can become a minor official.

Hai Wuya’s martial arts training was actually an idea that arose after being guided by a noble person.

Hai Wuya’s martial arts training is never the goal itself, but rather a means to become an official.

"How far has Hai Wuya’s martial cultivation declined now?" Wei En asked.

The heavenly prison is a place where people usually eat only watery porridge to fill their stomachs. The environment is dark and damp, and snakes, insects, rats, and ants are not uncommon. It’s not a fancy place at all.

Martial artists who stay in such a place for a long time would naturally see their vitality decline.

Moreover, considering Hai Wuya’s advanced age, in his younger years, he was an external martial artist.

This question left the prison officials in a dilemma. They quickly waved their hand and called for Gaoler Fang Yuan, the young man responsible for the area where Qiao Mu and others were held.

"It’s the 8th rank," Fang Yuan said respectfully.

"The 8th rank? How come I remember that his vitality has already declined to the 9th rank?" Wei En exclaimed in surprise.

Fang Yuan said respectfully,

"About half a year ago, he returned to the martial arts 8th rank."

"Can it still go back up?" Wei En also exclaimed in astonishment.

Growing old and weak, aging and dying, is a common occurrence for people.

It is normal for a martial artist to experience a decline in vitality after getting old, especially for external martial artists like Hai Wuya.

External martial artists often progress faster than internal martial artists, especially when practicing hard techniques and training methods like Golden Bell Shield, Iron Cloth Shirt Skill, and Iron Palm. As long as they are tough and not afraid of pain, they can progress much faster than those who train slowly.

However, the injuries accumulated in the early years often erupt in middle and old age.

Some improper martial artists who didn’t train properly when they were young, are full of energy. However, when they grow old, they become even weaker than ordinary people, feeling extremely discouraged.

In Hai Wuya’s case, for those who practice martial arts only to gain fame and become officials, their decline is naturally faster than ordinary martial artists.

What surprised Wei En was that Hai Wuya was already over 80 years old, but he could still improve?

Moreover, this is the heavenly prison. How did he manage to train with just a little plain porridge?

Thinking of this, Wei En unconsciously held onto the secret book in his arms and a strange idea came to his mind.

He knew that Hai Wuya was also a member of the Wuji Association.

The noble person who guided him to practice martial arts was the Martial Saint, who had not yet been recognized as a Saint at the time.
