"Superhuman – Management Bureau?" Li Hai asked, "What kind of department is this, and what is a Superhuman?"
As if it had received his question, the yellow talisman affixed to the drone's casing flickered with a faint light again, emitting a steady human voice:
"Hello, according to the relevant regulations of the Great Jing Superhuman Management Bureau Headquarters, any individual whose total biological energy within their body exceeds the human limit is considered a Superhuman.
If understood by the Martial Artist community, it means anyone at the Qi Flowing Realm of the Zhengchuan Martial Arts system, or higher, falls within the Superhuman category.
As for the Superhuman Management Bureau, or Superhuman Bureau for short, as the name suggests, it is the official Great Jing department that controls and supervises the activities and movements of all Superhuman individuals."
"Alright, it seems I am a Superhuman individual then."
Li Hai spread his hands, "So, why are you looking for me?"
"Hello."
The yellow talisman on the drone flickered again, transmitting a voice, "Because the vast majority of people within Great Jing are ordinary humans who do not practice Martial Arts or Qimen Arts, they are too fragile compared to Superhuman individuals.
Therefore, to protect the personal safety of the majority of people, the Superhuman Bureau hopes that you can restrain the intensity of your activities and actions. Specific details can be found in the Superhuman Behavior Management Manual."
As soon as the voice fell, the large iron box hanging below the drone automatically opened with a clanging sound, revealing hundreds of neatly stacked books.
Li Hai reached out and pulled a book from the iron cabinet in front of him. A quick flip through it revealed various restrictive regulations.
For example, on crowded ground streets, the travel speed of a Martial Artist individual is limited to no more than three zhang and six chi per second.
However, a compromise regulation derived from this is that if a Superhuman individual uses Qimen Arts that can make their body ethereal, they will not be subject to this restriction.
In addition, there are regulations concerning Martial Artists or Sorcerers flying in the air.
For example, the flight altitude is mandatory and must exceed one thousand zhang above the ground.
If anyone violates any of these regulations, the Superhuman Bureau will impose different levels of penalties depending on the severity of the situation.
If the violator refuses the punishment, causes casualties to others, or attempts to flee, they will be pursued and even executed by the Superhuman Bureau's Riot Mobile Squad.
"Such strict regulations, but for ordinary people, this is indeed safer, much better than the state in Shilong Mountain where human lives are worth less than dogs."
Li Hai gazed and flipped through the pages one by one.
Immediately, he turned to the section on the threat levels of Superhuman individuals.
Both the Zhengchuan Martial Arts system and the Qimen Arts system were included.
For the Zhengchuan Martial Arts system, starting from the Qi Flowing Realm, the levels are divided from low to high into Ding, Bing, Yi, Jia, and so on.
The Void-Reality Grandmaster Realm, where Li Hai is, belongs to the Double-Jia level, which means he is a Superhuman with extreme threat to the people and society, second only to the highest Triple-Jia level.
Information about the so-called Triple-Jia Martial Artist was also clearly detailed on it.
Its name was – Eternal Overlord.
"Eternal Overlord..."
Li Hai murmured, "Is this, perhaps, the next Realm after Void-Reality Grandmaster?"
According to the records, it should be so.
"The Overlord of Martial Arts? What an overbearing and arrogant name. I wonder how strong it truly is."
Li Hai shook his head and chuckled, then turned another page.
Immediately, he saw the name of the Qimen Arts system Realm recorded on the page, which was also at the Triple-Jia Superhuman threat level, alongside the Eternal Overlord of the Zhengchuan Martial Arts system.
This name was called – Incense Life God.
And the Double-Jia level Qimen Arts Realm, which was lower in threat than this so-called Life God, was precisely the Wind-Catching Lightning-Seizing Realm where Li Hai was.
"It seems my initial feeling was correct."
Li Hai thought to himself, "In the Qimen Arts system, the level above the Wind-Catching Lightning-Seizing Realm is indeed related to the so-called incense Telekinesis ."
"It seems that all those Five Realm Sorcerers are probably the leaders of a sect, one by one."
Actually, this statement contains a slight beautification.
The correct statement should be that if a Fourth Realm Sorcerer wishes to advance to the Fifth Realm and become a so-called Life God, they may need to gather thousands of foolish men and women as followers, establish a cult, become the cult leader, and gather incense Telekinesis to aid their cultivation.
"This Qimen Arts is truly an inherently anti-social system."
After a sigh, Li Hai closed the book and looked at the drone in front of him again, asking:
"I'd like to ask, if a Superhuman is an official public servant of Great Jing, do they still have to strictly abide by these Superhuman Bureau regulations?"
Upon receiving the voice, the yellow talisman on the drone's casing flickered slightly, and a steady human voice was transmitted again:
"Hello, for Superhuman individuals within the official system of Great Jing, the Superhuman Bureau's various regulations will be more flexible and can be relaxed to some extent.
However, the extent of relaxation depends on their position and the department they belong to."
"This is acceptable."
Li Hai nodded, then took out the Demon Slayer Commandant token and said, "Here, I am Li Hai, an official officer of the Demon Slayer Division. My position is Wood Rank Commandant, and my number is 3527. For someone like me, how much can the Superhuman Bureau regulations be relaxed?"
"Please wait, searching for information."
The drone did not reply but suddenly became silent.
Li Hai was not in a hurry and just stood quietly at the top of the building, waiting.
A short while later—
"Information has been queried."
The drone spoke again, and its voice was noticeably more respectful, "Hello, Lieutenant Li, as a Heavenly Rank Commandant of the Dajing Demon Slayer Division, you are allowed to have a killing quota of one thousand five hundred people per year. Therefore, as long as the number of people you kill within a year does not exceed one thousand five hundred, it will not be considered a violation."
"Whoa!" Li Hai frowned, "This feeling – it's a bit too much."
In fact, Li Hai, who was inherently kind, had not killed any innocent person since his Transmigration to this Yu Continent. Conversely, he had not killed any commoner either.
So now, after learning that he could arbitrarily kill one thousand five hundred ordinary people each year without any reason, without bearing any responsibility, and without suffering any punishment.
For a moment, Li Hai did not feel the freedom and joy of being above the rules and doing as he pleased, but only a faint sadness.
Sadness for the helplessness of ordinary people when facing the strong.
"Alas~"
Li Hai sighed faintly in his heart, "This is not Earth after all. No, it's actually the same on Earth, just not as direct."
Then he thought of another question.
"Wait."
Li Hai asked doubtfully, "I remember I was—only a Wood Rank Commandant, right?"
