The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1280: Drawing Lots! (2)

[Crane Call: By punching, it vibrates the air to form a special sonic wave attack; Effect: It can bring blade-level sonic wave attack when punching, causing damage to enemies within a radius of 2 meters, blade-level damage is suffered within a circular range and 1 meter, beyond 1 meter, the damage gradually decreases, after exiting 2 meters, the sonic wave damage no longer exists]

...

This gain is considered an unexpected delight.

Sonic wave attack, Jason hardly had any contact with it.

[Crane Call] is the first.

Similarly, with the addition of the extra option of [Crane Call], Jason can finally barely say he has a seven Buff punch.

Although not very strong, it should be enough to deal with the current situation.

After all, what he reveals is only what he is willing to let people see.

The truly hidden things?

He has never revealed them.

However, the legacy of these martial arts skills still needs to be collected, a punch with seven Buffs, how far away is a punch with seventy Buffs?

Quantitative change can ultimately trigger qualitative change.

Moreover, the level of [Barehanded Combat] is master level, and there are two enhancements of unparalleled and transcendent, even if the power of these extra options is insufficient now, after two upgrades, it can be truly used.

Furthermore, if I seek enough opportunities, maybe [Barehanded Combat] can also be upgraded like [Protection Against Evil], advancing to a higher realm.

Jason was making plans in his heart.

Then, he suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Dou Bao.

"Did you just want to slap me with a big hand?"

Jason asked.

"No, I didnt."

Dou Bao heard this question and quickened his pace with a guilty look on his face.

Jason guessed correctly.

Dou Bao really wanted to do so.

Because every time her dad got slapped by her mom, not only was he not angry, he would laugh happily.

In Dou Baos mind, since Jason expressed affection to her, she naturally wanted to make Jason happy.

Could it be that dad and moms method is wrong?

Besides cooking, isnt there anything else that can make the master happier?

There must be something?

Dou Bao thought.

Jason just raised an eyebrow looking at Dou Baos back.

Why is Dou Bao acting weird today?

Will it affect dinner?

Lunch was a joint meal with the five martial arts schools on Martial Arts Street, officially to increase camaraderie, but in reality, its a small exchange meeting after sparring, eating and drinking are not the main point.

However, in Jasons opinion, eating and drinking are the main points.

Exchange?

He didnt have any disciple entry, wheres the exchange.

The meal money is provided by the five martial arts schools, just like the first place prize in the Martial Arts Street competition is one hundred silver coins.

"Master Mu." X2

"Master Mu."

As Jason and Dou Bao walked to the side, the two masters Li and Zhao first greeted them, followed by Peng Liangs disciple, a sturdy young man with a slightly apprehensive expression on his face.

His master was involved in a big case with the Transmigration Cult and has been missing for several days.

Now he is maintaining the whole martial arts school.

Several fellow apprentices are also on the surface but not in spirit.

If he cant achieve a good rank today, the martial arts school will be really finished.

Its just...

The young man looked at the two masters Li and Zhao, and then at Jason.

Eventually, he looked helpless.

He had seen the grappling skills of masters Li and Zhao, he wasnt their opponent at all.

And Master Mu?

Even more so, hes not his opponent.

The martial arts school is done.

The young man thought silently, yet his face suddenly relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Jason glanced at the young man and then turned his gaze to the two masters Li and Zhao.

One tall and skinny, one short and stout.

All of them have thick fingers.

Each finger seemed as thick as a big date.

Grappling?

Jason had heard about the two masters Li and Zhao from Dou Bao.

Master Li specializes in the sixteen-move major grappling.

Master Zhao specializes in the thirty-two-move minor grappling.

Both are techniques of joint locking and bone displacement.

"Mm."

Jason responded with a nod.

Faced with such a response from Jason, the two masters Li and Zhao were not surprised, considering that the Master Mu Bai in front of them was not a person who was good at words, all his energy was placed into martial arts practice.

Its not an exaggeration to call him a martial arts maniac.

Otherwise, he couldnt have achieved muscle completion at such a young age and stepped into Bone Tempering.

I just dont know how his injury is?

The two thought to themselves, exchanging a glance.

Zhang Ming is dead.

It was an unexpected event.

However, the Martial Arts Street competition must continue.

They rely on this for their livelihood.

Thinking of this, the master Zhao started to make plans.

He signaled to the person presiding over the lot-drawing ceremony from a distance.

The person nodded slightly without leaving a trace.

This was also an old martial artist who, in his youth, had some fame in Mountain City, but he didnt open a school to recruit students. Instead, he lived in Mountain City with his family, making a living through martial skills and maintaining his own business.

It was something that ordinary people envied.

But if there was extra income, this old martial artist was also happy to accept it.

Money for nothing, why not take it?

Thinking of this, the old martial artist was about to draw lots.

The lots were bamboo strips with the names of various martial arts schools written on them in brush ink.

They all looked the same size, impossible to cheat.

In reality?

There were many tricks inside.

The simplest was to heat the bamboo strip a bit before placing it into the lot-drawing box.

The difference in temperature was enough for the drawer to discern.

Or leave a burr on one end of the bamboo strip, which could be identified by touch.

Then, over time, the temperature returns to normal, and the burr can be plucked out without any issues.

This wasnt the first time the old martial artist had done this.

He was naturally quite skilled.

And just as this old martial artist reached out to pick a bamboo strip

"Wait."

A loud shout came from outside the crowd.

Jia Youcai came in with a team of constables.

"Master Mu, Sister Dou Bao."

Jia Youcai cupped his hands, greeted Jason and Dou Bao, then turned to look at Li and Zhao, the two masters, and then gazed at the old martial artist on the makeshift stage.

It was the look one gives a criminal.

Li and Zhaos hearts thumped uneasily.

The old martial artist standing on the makeshift stage also felt waves of anxiety.

Then, Jia Youcai suddenly smiled.

"Apologies everyone."

"Its just that because of Master Zhangs death, I wanted to talk to everyone."

"Why dont you all come back to the yamen with me now."

Jia Youcai spoke slowly in a deliberate tone.

"Chief Jia, were supposed to hold the martial arts competition today, and youre doing this..."

"Oh, are you teaching me how to do my job?"

Master Zhaos words were cut off, and Jia Youcai, smiling, looked at the master, then suddenly raised his voice, "Is the martial arts competition more important than human life? Or are you Master Zhao doing this on purpose? Should I suspect you are involved in Master Zhang Mings death?"

"Impossible."

"We just had dinner with Master Zhang yesterday."

Master Li immediately said.

"Oh?"

"So its a conspiracy between the two of you to commit murder? No wonder Master Zhang Ming couldnt even resist!"

Jia Youcai dragged out the words.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Masters Li and Zhao immediately turned gloomy.

"Chief Jia, dont slander us!"

"Yes!"

"You need evidence to make such claims!"

Li and Zhao protested repeatedly.

"Evidence?"

"Why dont you two come with me, and well have a trial to find out?"

Jia Youcai sneered, waving his hand.

"Take them!"

"Bring these two back to the yamen."

"And"

"Bring this old martial artist as well."

Immediately, the constables stepped forward.

Li, Zhao, and the old martial artist frowned deeply.

Even if these constables doubled in number, they wouldnt be afraid, but they couldnt make a move. Once they did, they would be definitively labeled as murderers.

Not only would their businesses in Mountain City be ruined, but they themselves would be doomed.

After all, the barracks in the city had firearm squads, and no matter how skilled they were, they couldnt withstand a volley of ten, a hundred firearms.

But to follow Jia Youcai back?

Beating a confession out of them!

Thats definitely how it would go.

Li, Zhao, and the old martial artist pondered, their gaze collectively turned to Jason.

There was no doubt that Jia Youcai was trying to take a stand.

"Master Mu, wont you say something?"

"As a martial artist, you should be open and honest. Is this how you operate?"

Li and Zhao said in a deep voice.

Although they didnt say outright words like colluding with the authorities or being a lackey, the implication was clear.

Clap, clap, clap.

"What a fine openness and honesty."

"Ive been waiting for you to say that."

Jia Youcai clapped, speaking as he walked towards the lot-drawing box.

Immediately, the expressions of Li, Zhao, and the old martial artist changed.
