Chapter 1

At the beginning of June, Huanghai City had already entered the rhythm of midsummer. The continuous days of high temperatures without rain made the lush greenery look listless, and even the cicadas' chirping sounded weak.

At the Criminal Police Academy of Huaguo, in front of the basketball court of the third dormitory area, Building 13.

Li Xiangdong slowly got up from the ground, his hands throbbing with pain. His palms were already scraped, his face burning, and his ears were ringing from the harsh slaps he had just received.

At this moment, his appearance was quite ridiculous. His dark blue training uniform was torn in several places, his hair was disheveled, and his face was bruised and bleeding from the nose.

If it weren't for the summer training uniform of the police academy he was wearing, he would look more like a scavenger.

"Listen up, kid. Today is a lesson for you. Stay away from Ling Shuang'er in the future. Don't think that just because the principal protects you, you can act recklessly. Have you even looked at yourself?"

A condescending voice rang out, full of cold and mocking sarcasm.

Li Xiangdong raised his head. It was a tall and handsome young man, dressed in the same one-star school police uniform. He was standing with his arms crossed, looking down at Li Xiangdong with disdain.

"Exactly, don't you know what you're like? Don't you even realize that you're known as the 'shame of the police academy'? You actually think you can aspire to something beyond your reach?"

Just like in the popular idol dramas, there were always a few sycophants around the rich and handsome. A guy with crossed eyes stood next to the rich and handsome, mocking Li Xiangdong.

The words of the guy with crossed eyes were straightforward, and a burst of laughter erupted from the crowd of onlookers. However, no one stepped forward to speak up for Li Xiangdong, who was sitting on the ground.

The Criminal Police Academy of Huaguo was like the Whampoa Military Academy among police schools in Huaguo, located in the provincial capital of Huanghai City, Donghai Province. Its predecessor was the Northeast Public Security Cadre School, the first professional police school in the country, established before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, it became the first full-time undergraduate police university in the country.

The predominantly male environment of the academy meant that it was a world where the strong ruled.

Although Lu Jian was a second-generation rich kid, he was a top student in the Criminal Investigation Department, ranking in the top ten, and a member of the school's long-distance running team. Moreover, he was bullying someone known as the 'shame of the police academy.'

Li Xiangdong, sitting on the ground, was well-known as the 'shame of the police academy.' Despite being the weaker party, he did not receive any sympathy.

The Criminal Police Academy held a status equivalent to Tsinghua or Peking University among police schools in the country, and the Criminal Investigation Department was the flagship department of the university.

Many people couldn't understand how a waste like Li Xiangdong managed to enter this flagship department of the university.

What they didn't know was that Li Xiangdong was a second-generation police officer, admitted to the police academy as a special recruit because he was the orphan of a model hero.

However, as the orphan of a police hero, Li Xiangdong did not show any outstanding talent during his four years at the police academy.

After three and a half years of university, with multiple exams, this guy still couldn't pass the basic physical fitness test for police officers, and he failed every single time.

If it were any other student, they would have been expelled long ago. But Li Xiangdong was kept around, and according to rumors, it was because he had a connection with the principal.

His special status made it hard for other students to accept him.

So, seeing Li Xiangdong being bullied was a joy for many.

The basketball court was surrounded by a circle of students. The most noticeable was a girl in yellow, tall and slender, with an oval face, long eyebrows, and a high ponytail. She was the cause of today's conflict, a female student named Ling Shuang'er from the Document Examination Technology Department.

Ling Shuang'er was a rare beauty in the school, and with a father who was the deputy director of the city bureau, she was the goddess in the hearts of many male students and the object of pursuit for many rich and handsome guys.

Speaking of her and Li Xiangdong, they actually had some history.

Ling Shuang'er's father and Li Xiangdong's father were close friends who graduated from the same school. They entered and graduated in the same year and later joined the same police station.

They were like brothers, and during one mission, Li Xiangdong's father even saved Ling Shuang'er's father from a bullet. At that time, both families had children, and Ling Shuang'er's father jokingly arranged a marriage between their children.

However, Li Xiangdong's father later went missing during a mission, leaving Li Xiangdong and his mother as orphans.

Without a mainstay, the Li family gradually declined, while the Ling family, with Ling Shuang'er's father's continuous promotions, gradually widened the gap in social status.

Li Xiangdong and Ling Shuang'er had known each other since childhood, playing together in the same courtyard. However, they gradually grew apart until the Li family moved out of the courtyard.

Their unexpected reunion at the police academy was a pleasant surprise for Li Xiangdong. After all, a goddess like Ling Shuang'er was a fatal attraction for a guy like him, especially since they had a history of being childhood sweethearts.

However, the fairy tale reunion where the princess falls in love with the frog doesn't happen in real life. Ling Shuang'er's attitude towards Li Xiangdong was always lukewarm, and Li Xiangdong, knowing his place, contentedly remained a backup.

The police academy was a place dominated by males, with few females. So, every time the mating season arrived, it was like the African savannah, with males fighting for dominance over females.

Unfortunately, today Li Xiangdong found himself in such a situation.

Ling Shuang'er was not only beautiful but also intelligent. During her four years at the university, she had many suitors. She enjoyed the thrill of being pursued but never officially chose a boyfriend.

Until this time, among her many suitors, Lu Jian, who had invested the most emotionally and financially, was finally driven to the breaking point by her ambivalence.

With graduation approaching, after more than three years of pursuit without success, Lu Jian was both angry and confused, wondering why.

Recently, he had been constantly纠缠着凌霜儿，直到把凌霜儿缠得实在烦了，不知道怎么的就把祸水引到了李向东的头上，于是就有了开头的那一幕。

卢建带着胜利者的笑容，站在李向东的面前，他身边的忠实狗腿窦斌不停地对李向东冷嘲热讽，周围站的全是围观看热闹的同学。

李向东当着这么多人的面被人欺负得毫无还手之力，真是面如死灰，羞愤欲绝。

在警校三年，他一直过着忍气吞声的低调生活。

他们李家从老祖宗的时候，就在京城的六扇门里当捕快，而且还是有名的神捕那种，建国后从爷爷开始就是警察，算是警察世家。

可是也不知道为什么，自从爷爷和父亲都走了之后，这个家就开始走了下坡路，他从小体弱多病，身体素质一直不算好。

虽然也长了一米八多的个头，可是体重却只有可怜的一百三十斤不到，属于那种一阵风都能吹倒的类型。

在警校三年，他也尝试着去努力锻炼身体，可是也不知道到底是为什么，总是一点突破都没有，身体还是这么瘦弱。

所以但凡是跟体能沾边的测试，他全都不能通过，要知道警察可是一个特殊工种，如果你连警校内最基本的体测都不能过关，那还怎么在今后的工作中去面对穷凶极恶的匪徒？

所以这三年来，李向东每每体测不过关的时候，都会遭到同学们的嘲笑，而他自己也很是恨自己这不争气的身体。

今天卢建因为那凌霜儿的事情来欺负自己，可是自己居然一点还手之力都没有，就在那凌霜儿面前被他打得如同死狗一般，李向东这时候的心情真的是别提，恨不得面前有个地缝，他直接就钻进去。

李向东伸手擦了一把鼻子下面的血，然后缓缓地站起身，完全没有注意到，他手腕上带着的一只手环，恰好在沾染到了他的鼻血之后，金光一闪而过的诡异画面。

卢建一看李向东就像一只根本不敢反抗的死狗一般，感觉在欺负他也没什么意义，一转身带着狗腿子窦斌就往远处走去。

周围的围观人群一看，在看下去也没什么好看的，于是也都跟着一哄而散。

李向东来到一个篮球架前，扶着篮球架缓缓地坐了下去，倒不是他不想走，而是他不敢走，因为就在刚刚他的脑子里突然响起了一个神秘的声音。

“。。。。。。。啧啧啧。。。。九黎圣血。。。。。蚩尤圣脉。。。。这味道，好久都没尝过啦。。。。”

这个声音，突然在他脑子里响起的时候，李向东被吓了一跳，刚刚不过被卢建抽了几个耳光，连轻微脑震荡都够不上，精神分裂那更不可能，那这声音从哪里来的？

“小子，如果不想被别人发现，别东张西望的，赶紧找个地方坐下，等老子和你好好说道说道。”

又是那个神秘的声音，突然在脑际里响起，李向东被吓了一跳，然后四处转头看了看，确实没人，犹豫了一下，这才来到篮球架前面坐下。。。

Recently, he had been constantly纠缠着凌霜儿，until he annoyed her so much that she somehow directed her frustration at Li Xiangdong, leading to the scene at the beginning.

Lu Jian stood in front of Li Xiangdong with a victorious smile, while his loyal lackey Dou Bin kept mocking Li Xiangdong. The surrounding area was filled with students watching the spectacle.

Li Xiangdong, being bullied in front of so many people with no way to fight back, felt utterly humiliated and filled with shame.

For three years at the police academy, he had lived a low-profile life, enduring insults and humiliation.

The Li family had a long history of serving as police officers, dating back to the old days when his ancestors were famous detectives in the Six Ministries of the capital. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, his grandfather and father were both police officers, making them a police family.

However, for some reason, after his grandfather and father passed away, the family began to decline. He had been sickly since childhood and had never been in good physical condition.

Although he was over 1.8 meters tall, he weighed only a meager 130 pounds, making him look like someone who could be blown away by a gust of wind.

For three years at the police academy, he had tried to improve his physical fitness, but for some reason, he never made any progress and remained weak.

Therefore, he failed all physical fitness tests, which are crucial for police officers. If he couldn't pass the basic physical tests at the police academy, how could he face dangerous criminals in the future?

Over the past three years, every time he failed a physical test, he was mocked by his classmates, and he deeply resented his weak body.

Today, Lu Jian bullied him over the issue with Ling Shuang'er, and he had no way to fight back. He was beaten like a dead dog in front of Ling Shuang'er, and at this moment, he felt so humiliated that he wished there was a crack in the ground to hide in.

Li Xiangdong wiped the blood from his nose and slowly stood up, not noticing that the bracelet on his wrist glowed with a golden light after it was stained with his blood.

Seeing Li Xiangdong like a dog that dared not fight back, Lu Jian felt that bullying him was no longer meaningful. He turned and walked away with his lackey Dou Bin.

The surrounding crowd, seeing that there was nothing more to watch, also dispersed.

Li Xiangdong came to a basketball hoop and slowly sat down, not because he couldn't walk, but because he was afraid to. Just now, a mysterious voice had suddenly echoed in his mind.

"...... Tsk tsk tsk...... Nine Li Sacred Blood...... Chi You Sacred Lineage...... This taste, I haven't had it in a long time......"

When the voice suddenly echoed in his mind, Li Xiangdong was startled. He had only been slapped a few times by Lu Jian, not enough to cause a mild concussion, let alone schizophrenia. So where did this voice come from?

"Kid, if you don't want to be discovered, don't look around. Quickly find a place to sit down, and wait for me to explain things to you."

The mysterious voice echoed in his mind again, startling Li Xiangdong. He looked around, but there was no one. After hesitating for a moment, he came to the basketball hoop and sat down.
