This is the fifth month since Ding Huan left Yiling.
In the backyard of Qu Jia Villa in Xiu Hu Community, Qu Yi easily leaped over twenty meters, and then a wind blade cut the already split stone in half again.
To Ding Huan's surprise, not only had Qu Yi completely recovered his body, but he had also become a third-grade gene practitioner in just five months.
And her promotion wasn't like Ding Huan's, with near-death experiences every time.
Ding Huan's gene root is wood-based, indicating that Qu Yi is more suitable for wood-based gene roots.
Of course, there are two other reasons. One is that Ding Huan used a variant pomelo when giving Qu Yi the gene root medicine.
Furthermore, Qu Yi's father, Qu Yonghe, spent a fortune to purchase two Qigong stones for Qu Yi at an auction.
Qu Yonghe and Yányuántái both know that Ding Huan definitely taught Qu Yi Taoist cultivation techniques.
Since Qu Yi's body has improved, she has been practicing in the backyard.
Given that Ding Huan has three students, it's clear that what he taught Qu Yi must be something quite extraordinary.
No one from the Qu family asked Ding Huan what he taught Qu Yi, nor did anyone go to spy in the backyard.
Because of Qu Yi's cultivation, Qu Yonghe has gone to great lengths to purchase two Qigong stones to enhance Qu Yi's strength.
Qu Yi sighed as she watched the stone split by her wind blade technique.
Qu Yi has become a third-grade gene practitioner and she has been training well in fireball technique, wind blade technique, and wind control technique.
With her current strength, if the spring boss dares to attack her again, she can even make him limbless without having to get close.
However, it's still not enough; she must become a fourth-grade gene practitioner to go to the Gene Alliance and have these unreasonable people lift the wanted notice for Ding Huan.
Qu Yi has a very strict time plan for her training, which includes the time for practicing the Lüokejīng during one period and various spells during another. She carries out everything meticulously.
It's also because of her own discipline and the support from her family that she can make such great achievements in five months.
After practicing the wind blade and wind control techniques, as Qu Yi was about to return to her room to continue practicing the Lüokejing, she heard a fierce roar from outside.
Qu Yi immediately recognized that it was people from the Gene Alliance.
Without hesitation, she rushed out.
If it wasn't for the people from the Gene Alliance, Ding Huan wouldn't have lost an eye. If it wasn't for them, Uncle Jiuyi wouldn't have died.
"What do you want to do?" Qu Yi saw a black man reaching out to push her mother and immediately shouted loudly.
"Wow, it's really true. You're alive and healthy." The black man saw Qu Yi come out and exclaimed in surprise, then spoke in fluent Chinese.
"I Yi, go inside first. I've already called the police. This is China, not the territory of Western devils, and the Gene Alliance can't act so recklessly in my China."
Qu Yonghe intercepted Qu Yi, but inside he was terrified.
He is afraid that Qu Yi will be taken away again, just like the last time when she was taken away and even Jiuyi didn't come back.
"Lei Weiye, we're just here to check the situation…" A Chinese man came over with the black man and quickly interjected.
"Tang Qǐ, you're first a member of the Gene Alliance. Now you're on a mission for the Gene Alliance. Hurry and call Hou Zheng, tell him that the target is really alive and very healthy. We've succeeded."
Lei Weiye, the black man, not only failed to stop his aggressive behavior towards Yan Quan, but also scolded his companions.
"Stop it." Qu Yi stepped forward to shield her mother behind her.
Lei Weiye smiled and said to Qu Yi, "Come with us. The Gene Alliance suspects you have a connection with Ding Huan, and they need you to come with us for an investigation."
"You need to leave now, otherwise I will defend myself. Please calm down." Qu Yi tried to control her tone.
In her mind, she heard Ding Huan's words, "I Yi, remember this. When you have the ability, do not be kind to your enemies. Being kind to your enemies is cruel to yourself and your family."
"Ha ha ha…" Lei Weiye laughed and reached for his weapon from his waist.
Qu Yi lifted her hand and made a virtual slash in the air, and a blade-like ray appeared from the angle of Lei Weiye's shoulder and fell.
"Splatter!" Blood splashed out as Lei Weiye's actions became rigid, and the next moment a blood jet was shot out, Lei Weiye fell to the ground with his head and shoulder, his entire body collapsing.
Qu Yi stood frozen, watching the scene in front of her. She practiced wind blades every day, splitting countless stones, but she had never seen such a bloody scene.
When she struck, she had only treated the opponent as a stone to split. Now that he was split in two, she realized just how bloody and terrifying it was.
At this moment, she couldn't help but vomit from the stomach, her face pale as she went to one side to continue throwing up.
Yan Quan was equally stunned and it took her a while to come to her senses. She managed to suppress the discomfort in her stomach and went to comfort her daughter.
On the other hand, Qu Yonghe was so shocked by Lei Weiye being split in two that he could only feel excitement mixed with gratitude.
Qu Yonghe couldn't believe that his daughter was so powerful, able to easily kill an Inner Strength warrior from the Gene Alliance.
He knew that Lei Weiye was an Inner Strength former, and perhaps he had fused a certain kind of quality gene.
Such a person was killed by his daughter from a distance.
As for whether killing Lei Weiye would cause trouble, Qu Yonghe had never thought about it.
They were coming to arrest him, and he killed them in self-defense.
Because of the prevailing environment where gene beasts are rampant and human survival is arduous, at this time, both the Gene Alliance and the Martial Arts Alliance play a significant role.
In this situation, the Security Bureau would indeed not dare to act openly against the Gene Alliance. Even if he reported it, the Security Bureau's people coming over would only be to block the Gene Alliance's people from taking Qu Yi away.
But that's only on the surface. Behind the scenes, if the people from the Gene Alliance forcefully take away Qu Yi, the Security Bureau will also be powerless.
Therefore, Qu Yi killing the Gene Alliance member who came to take her away would definitely not be a problem.
That's because the Gene Alliance won't investigate deeply if they take Qu Yi away, and the Security Bureau wouldn't investigate either if Qu Yi kills the Gene Alliance member.
The reason is that Qu Yi's self-defense was justified.
"Take the body and go. It's fine to join the Gene Alliance, but the true heroes are those who fight against gene beasts on the front lines, who protect the city, not those who terrorize ordinary people in their homes."
Qu Yonghe coldly addressed the still stunned Chinese member of the Gene Alliance.
Qu Yonghe has seen too many bloody scenes, and he doesn't even blink at this small-scale incident.
"Yes..." The Gene Alliance member finally came to his senses, quickly wrapped Lei Weiye's body in a cloth, and carried it to the trunk of the car.
This matter is beyond his capabilities, and it's not something he can handle.
"I Yi, let's go back. You didn't do anything wrong." Qu Yonghe closed the gate of the courtyard and comforted Qu Yi.
"Dad, I..." Qu Yi's face was pale, and she still couldn't calm down from the bloodiness just now.
Qu Yonghe deliberately said with an extremely light tone, "I Yi, if you didn't do this, my wife and I would be humiliated. Protecting your family is not wrong."
Ding Huan would also support what you did. Think about what happened at the headquarters of the Gene Alliance. Protecting yourself and your family, what's wrong with that?
You know Yan Xia, right? How many people hunted him down back then, and who dares to show him disrespect now? This world is like that."
Perhaps Qu Yonghe's consolation had an effect, and Qu Yi felt better.
Looking at the pool of blood, Qu Yi thought that even if it happened again, she would do it the same way.
In this world where gene beasts roam, she couldn't choose her own way of survival.
Ding Huan is right. If she had been as strong as today back then, Uncle Jiuyi would have died, and Ding Huan's eyes would have been lost.
Being kind to those people is like digging your own grave.
"Dad, let's go back," Qu Yi caught her breath.
"I Yi, do you know that cities like Peng Xun, Lu Jiang, Gui Ping, Da Dou, and Qianhe have all been occupied by gene beasts and countless innocent people have died?" Qu Yonghe said again.
"Oh..." Qu Yi was stunned and stopped her steps.
These places were all familiar to her; they had been bustling metropolises just a few months ago. How could they have been occupied by gene beasts in just five months?
After successfully distracting Qu Yi's emotions, Qu Yonghe took a deep breath and said,
"In the months you were training at home, a lot of things happened outside. Your mother and I were worried it might affect your training, so we didn't tell you."
"Why is it all so difficult?" Qu Yi muttered to herself.
Yan Quan sighed and said, "I Yi, our country is still relatively good. Have you heard of the Underwater Avenue? A human corridor defense line was established there."
Every day, countless soldiers die at the human corridor defense line. Our country has also sent troops there.
"Human Corridor Defense Line?" Qu Yi looked at her parents with confusion. She knew about the Underwater Avenue, a plate tectonic movement that had occurred several decades ago.
But the Human Corridor Defense Line was news to her.
Qu Yonghe explained, "There was a very strong and very smart gene beast in the Andes Mountains of South America."
It integrated all the gene beasts in South America and launched a beast tide, almost wiping out the remaining humans in the region.
Now, they want to cross the Underwater Avenue from Africa. If we don't block them, humanity really faces extinction..."
Qu Yi understood, and she realized that the world had become so crisis during the few months she spent training.
No wonder she killed the people from the Gene Alliance. Her parents were not too worried, but it turns out that human survival is so difficult.
