Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

```

In the inner hall, the officers and officials of the Guardian Martial Department simultaneously cast their eyes on Dong Jing.

The atmosphere froze.

Sitting in the chief seat, Huang Furo exuded an orchid-like grace, facing this sudden change without the slightest panic.

She calmly smiled and said, "Dong Chasi, what opinion do you have to share with everyone?"

Her clear voice carried an undeniable authority.

Facing Huang Furo, Dong Jing had calmed down by this point.

The intense emotional turmoil in his heart was soothed by some invisible force, and he quickly adjusted his breath, his gaze lingering briefly on Shen Qing, then puffed out his chest.

He pondered briefly, choosing his words carefully as he said, "Lord Huangfu, Shen Chasi has been with the Guardian Martial Department for a short time. What qualifications does he have to hold the position of Vice Director? Wouldn't such a decision dishearten the veterans in the office?"

Huang Furo smiled faintly and retorted, "Who told you that positions in the government office rely on qualifications?"

Dong Jing's expression froze.

He detected in Huang Furo's words a hint of her intention to firmly support Shen Qing, which made him feel somewhat discontented.

In his view, how was he not better than Shen Qing?

Whether in terms of background or cultivation, he surpassed Shen Qing by far.

Dong Jing clasped his hands in a salute and looked up directly, "If not based on qualifications, then what does Lord Huangfu think it should be based on? Relationships?"

With these words, Huang Furo's face immediately turned cold. She stood and said, "Of course, it's based on merit, based on cultivation."

"Shen Chasi has only been with our Yongzhou Guardian Martial Department for just over half a year, indeed not long. But during this half a year, he has handled the Baili Village demon case, the Changqiao Town Wolf Demon case, the Inner City Cat Demon case, and most recently, the Zheng Yuanqiu traitor case..."

"Frankly speaking, Shen Chasi has eliminated more demons in this half-year than you have in several years."

Huang Furo surveyed the officers and officials of the Guardian Martial Department before her, "Isn't such merit enough? Or are you the real incompetents sitting here?"

After her speech, a supreme authority suddenly surged around Huang Furo.

The momentum of the Dan Realm erupted at this moment.

This power, seemingly tangible, stirred the void into invisible ripples, spreading slowly around, instantly filling the entire inner hall.

In the inner hall, everyone felt an irresistible pressure sweeping over them, causing them to take a step back involuntarily.

As they looked up, they saw Huang Furo's clothing fluttering without wind under the influence of this invisible power, her garments swirling, like a fairy in the wind, transcendent and otherworldly.

"So what if the merits are enough? A person like that can at most be called a capable official. What really counts is Martial Arts cultivation. The Emperor of Great Zhou has long stated that the court positions now are for the capable. Shen Chasi, being so young and of humble origins, already missed the best time for cultivation advancement. How can he sit steadily in the position of Vice Director? This is a path to disorder."

"Indeed, Lord Huangfu's method is a path to disorder!"

Other high-ranking children of officials also stepped forth, besides Dong Jing.

They were unwilling to accept a martial master of humble hunter origins climbing above their heads.

Even if there were those uninterested in the Chief Officer position, their scarce pride pushed them to make this choice in the face of this pressure.

Huang Furo's eyes revealed a hint of displeasure, and the atmosphere in the inner hall suddenly became tense and confrontational.

Shen Qing, as an observer, saw this clearly.

Undoubtedly, Huang Furo was on his side, but facing this group of high-ranking disciples, she evidently did not have a better way either.

These people could neither be killed nor driven away; it was indeed a difficult matter.

If it were him, even if he wanted to kill these people, he'd need to find a cover, secretly finding a way to quietly kill them.

However, this didn't mean he was entirely out of ideas.

Shen Qing stepped forward, slightly approaching Huang Furo, then turned around and said to the three officers who had spoken, "How do you suggest we assess Martial Arts cultivation?"

"If you can defeat us, your cultivation is higher."

"Good, in that case, you can all come at me together!" Shen Qing said calmly.

"What arrogance." Sun Ding from the second group was already angry, feeling deeply offended by Shen Qing's disdain, and he replied angrily, "I don't need the other two; I alone am enough to subdue you!"

Saying that, Sun Ding lunged at Shen Qing swiftly and aggressively, throwing a punch that sounded like a dragon's roar, directly targeting his opponent's face.

This was the Sun Family's Dragon Roar Fist, Eight Forms.

The essence of this martial art lay in imitating the sound of a dragon's roar, borrowing the power of the wind and clouds, using the fist technique as a carrier to demonstrate the majestic momentum of the dragon soaring through the Ninth Heaven.

Cultivating it to the level of mastery, this martial art could not only overpower the enemy with force but also pressure with momentum; it was a high-level martial art.

The ancestor of the Sun Family had established a formidable enterprise in Yongzhou, relying on this fist technique.

However, Sun Ding's status in the Sun Family was not very high, and his mastery of this martial art was not very profound.

Boom!

As Sun Ding's fist reached Shen Qing's face, the air seemed to be suddenly torn apart, emitting a deafening explosion.

"Did it work?"

Dong Jing and others' eyes brightened.

Yet before they had a chance to rejoice, they saw Sun Ding's figure, under an irresistible force, fly backward like a kite with a broken line, crashing heavily to the ground, dust flying.

Shen Qing stood still, his clothes slightly rustling, his countenance calm, as if all that had just happened was merely a breeze blowing past.

He looked around with sharp eyes, his tone carrying not the slightest fear, but rather an undeniable invincible dominance, "Alright, if you wish to come one by one, then come one by one."

The surroundings fell silent, with only the sound of Sun Dong's rapid breathing in response.

"His meridians are like jade, he has reached the Yu Luo Realm, I was not mistaken, he has already broken through to the Yu Luo Realm!"

Wu Xing from the third group of officers revealed a look of disbelief and exclaimed.

The inner hall erupted into uproar.

Dong Jing faced this scene with his mouth slightly open, unable to speak.

Yu Luo Realm?

How was that possible?

If he remembered correctly, half a year ago, Shen Qing was at the Qi Hai Realm.

That meant this person, after joining the Guardian Martial Department, broke through two major realms in just half a year.

Was he still human?

If it were before the Qi Hai Realm, he could understand it.

It was merely the stage of honing the physical body, where one could quickly compensate for deficiencies through external force.

But this was after the Qi Hai Realm.

The Great Realm after becoming transcendent.

The two weren't in the same concept at all.

"Is there no one?"

Seeing Dong Jing and others silent and unresponsive, Shen Qing turned back to Huang Furo, bowing with his hands clasped, "Lord Huangfu, it seems my virtue and martial prowess have already convinced everyone."

Huang Furo burst into laughter, quickly deciding, "Does anyone have any objections to Shen Chasi serving as Vice Director of the Guardian Martial Department? If there are no objections, let it be decided as such."

Dong Jing's lips quivered slightly, but he still weakly uttered a single word, "Yes."
