It was still a street stall, still a barbecue shop. Ye Tianchen was a man who could adapt to any situation. Unlike many people in the real world who cared about appearances and always tried to show that they were better than others, which was vulgar to the extreme!

If it weren't for the crisis in the Ye family, Ye Tianchen would never have resorted to killing. Reborn in this life, he only wanted to live a carefree life, read books, read newspapers, learn more knowledge, and possibly become a literary master, living happily with his family.

In the post-apocalyptic world, Ye Tianchen, starting from the age of ten, had constantly experienced brutal battles. He was an orphan, raised by others, and after his powers awakened, he fought his way up to the divine realm, becoming extremely powerful and rarely meeting his match. In the post-apocalyptic world, it was a world where the strong preyed on the weak, with severe environmental pollution, water shortages, and food scarcity. Psychic powers and ancient martial arts sects dominated, and there were also mutated humans and beasts, as well as zombies that fed on humans, creating a world of violence and bloodshed, where countless people were devoured alive.

Among the psychic powers and ancient martial arts sects, there were both good and evil. Some saved lives and protected humanity, fighting until their last breath, while others used their powerful abilities to seek personal gain, brutally killing their own kind and losing all humanity.

Therefore, Ye Tianchen was already tired of the life of constant fighting and killing. He wanted a peaceful life. However, in any era, as long as there were people, there would be conflicts. If you don't kill others, they will kill you. It's a simple truth. To protect what he had and to safeguard his family, Ye Tianchen had to once again raise his fists, even though he didn't want to kill, he would not hesitate if anyone dared to challenge him!

"Brother, this time you killed Li Tie. The Qin family will be greatly shaken. If they find out it was you, they might send experts to kill you!" Hu Long said with some concern.

"Don't worry about this, just eat more!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen had a good impression of Hu Long. Although Hu Long's skills were not that strong, he had a passionate heart and was a real man. This was the most important thing. Poor skills could be improved with practice, and after ten or eight years, he would have some level of proficiency. But a person's nature was unchangeable. Some were destined to be evil all their lives, while others were destined to be kind. As the saying goes, "It's easy to change a river's course, but hard to change a person's nature."

"Brother, I know my skills are weak and I can't help much, but I just want to follow you, even if I can only do a little for you!" Hu Long said earnestly, looking at Ye Tianchen.

"I understand your intentions. Since I've agreed to let you follow me, I will lead you to a higher level. But you have to work hard. If you don't meet the standards, I will ask you to leave." Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen indeed wanted to help Hu Long. They were a pair of very unfortunate brothers, both of their parents dead, and they relied on each other for survival, living a hard life. Hu Long had a passionate heart, but unfortunately, he lacked the means to rise. So Ye Tianchen wanted to help him, of course, it would depend on Hu Long's own abilities.

"I will work hard, Brother!" Hu Long said resolutely.

"By the way, have you heard of Wu Xue?" Ye Tianchen thought of Wu Xue and wanted to learn more about him, as he didn't think Wu Xue was a ruthless killer. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fought him in a fair duel instead of ambushing him.

"Wu Xue? Brother, are you talking about the first killer of the capital, Wu Xue?" Hu Long looked at Ye Tianchen in surprise, not expecting him to ask about Wu Xue.

"Yes, do you know anything about him?" Ye Tianchen asked, taking a sip of beer.

Although Hu Long didn't know why Brother Ye Tianchen suddenly asked about the first killer of the capital, Wu Xue, he had heard of Wu Xue. Hu Long had been in the capital for a long time and was somewhat involved in the underworld, so he had some information channels.

"I know a bit. Wu Xue is the first killer in the capital and is said to be a descendant of an ancient martial arts sect. He was an orphan, raised by a man who collected garbage. When Wu Xue was twenty, his adoptive father was fifty and was imprisoned for rape and murder, sentenced to life. Wu Xue has always wanted to save his adoptive father, so he often helps powerful families and organizations. Otherwise, with his skills, he wouldn't have to humble himself!" Hu Long said.

"Um, so Wu Xue is a man of principle. If it weren't for his adoptive father, he wouldn't help those powerful families and organizations."

"Yes, Brother. I heard that Wu Xue despises these powerful families and organizations. If it weren't for his adoptive father, he wouldn't humble himself. And I heard that every time he kills someone, he does it openly and allows the victim to complete their last wishes. It's quite unique!" Hu Long said, finding it hard to believe.

"Indeed, when he came to kill me, he did the same!" Ye Tianchen nodded.

"What? Brother, Wu Xue came to kill you? Was he sent by the Qin family?"

Hearing Ye Tianchen's words, Hu Long looked at him in shock. Wu Xue was the first killer in the capital, and even with Brother Ye Tianchen's skills, a fierce battle with Wu Xue would be inevitable. So Hu Long couldn't help but worry about Brother Ye Tianchen.

"No, the Qin family didn't send him. Wu Xue's skills are indeed very strong, and he is a descendant of the Xingyi Quan martial arts sect. I barely defeated him. I'm just curious about him. Most killers just kill when they receive a task, but he tells the victim and allows them to complete their last wishes and leave a message. It's quite unusual. And it seems he doesn't want to kill indiscriminately, so I asked."

"Brother, you are truly amazing. Even Wu Xue couldn't defeat you. From now on, you will be the top expert in the capital!" Hu Long said with great joy.

"You, what top expert or not, it's all just a name. I believe there are many powerful people in the world. I hope to meet them, otherwise, life would be a bit boring, wouldn't it?" Ye Tianchen shook his head and smiled.

In the post-apocalyptic world, even as a divine-level psychic power, Ye Tianchen was very powerful but not arrogant. After all, there was always more to learn. Above the divine-level psychic powers were the imperial-level psychic powers, which were vastly different in strength, even for Ye Tianchen to look up to. In the ancient martial arts sects, among the mutated humans and beasts, and even some unknown monsters, there were also super powerful beings. The saying "there are always people better than you, and skies higher than yours" applied everywhere.

"Brother, can you teach me a few moves? I know my skills are poor, but I want to improve. I don't want to be a burden to you when we do things..." Hu Long said, looking at Ye Tianchen awkwardly.

"Of course, no problem. But my boxing techniques are not suitable for you. I'll think about some ancient martial arts techniques that are suitable for you tonight and teach them to you!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother!"

Hu Long said excitedly. He didn't expect Brother Ye Tianchen to agree so readily to his request. He was very envious of Brother Ye Tianchen's strength. Even the first killer in the capital, Wu Xue, couldn't defeat Ye Tianchen, which showed how powerful Ye Tianchen was.

Ye Tianchen was also being honest. He was a psychic power, not an expert in ancient martial arts, so he hadn't practiced ancient martial arts techniques. However, Hu Long was an ordinary person, not a psychic power, so many techniques would be useless to him. Only the ancient martial arts techniques passed down for thousands of years in China would be suitable for Hu Long. If Hu Long could find a suitable ancient martial arts technique and practice it along with internal energy cultivation, his skills would surely become first-rate.

In the post-apocalyptic world, Ye Tianchen had fought many experts in ancient martial arts techniques. Although he hadn't practiced them, he had seen many powerful ancient martial arts techniques, which were incredibly strong. Many times, he had nearly lost his life. Therefore, Chinese martial arts had always been profound and enduring, and there was a reason for it. In this life, many people thought that ancient martial arts sects had disappeared and their traditions had been lost, but that was not the case. They existed in a more powerful form.

Therefore, Ye Tianchen planned to recall any high-level ancient martial arts techniques in his memory and teach Hu Long at least one or two powerful moves. Another issue was that without a powerful internal energy cultivation method, the internal energy would not be deep enough to ensure a fatal strike. After much thought, the Shaolin Yijin Jing, the most powerful internal energy cultivation method in history, came to mind.

In the post-apocalyptic world, Ye Tianchen had once wanted to practice it. Although he was a psychic power, if he could cultivate powerful internal energy, it would strengthen his body and, combined with his divine-level psychic power, might take him to a new level. Unfortunately, whether in this life or the post-apocalyptic world, the Shaolin Yijin Jing was extremely difficult for outsiders to obtain. Even the most powerful people would find it harder than climbing to heaven to steal a glimpse of the Yijin Jing.

"For now, go back to your hometown. Don't follow me."

"Brother, you don't want me to follow you anymore?" Hu Long asked nervously.

"No, I have some things to handle. It's not convenient for you to follow me now. Once I solve the current problems, I will call you back." Ye Tianchen said.
