I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4102 Harsh
Today, Yamada Hayato suddenly received a mission that can be considered an overseas assignment.

It is said that a local councilor sought help from the Department of Different Principles. The councilor's son had awakened spiritual power and wanted to find a cultivation method to practice. He asked the Department of Different Principles to send a master to teach him.

This is not uncommon. After all, although the world has changed somewhat, privilege still exists. The Foreign Affairs Department, for various reasons, cannot simply refuse these requests. As a political unit, it naturally needs the support of various parties and must cultivate relationships with the powerful and influential.

Besides, this isn't necessarily a bad thing for Yamada Hayato and his group, right? After all, teaching a few classes earns them a big bonus. These people will definitely not skimp on the "tuition fees," so it's a kind of extra income.

Hayato Yamada had actually taught the task a few times before, so it wasn't a big deal for him. He was quite happy to have been assigned this task. They hadn't specifically asked him to come; it just happened that he was available, and the Special Task Force assigned him.

So Yamada Hayato went to the home of the man surnamed He Xin to prepare for teaching.

He never expected that they would tie him up as soon as they met him, and he didn't even understand why he was being kidnapped when he was taken away.

No, what's the point of this kidnapping?

Just as he said, he was an old man with no one to rely on and no money. Although he used to run a martial arts school, he couldn't even keep it going. Business only improved after the spiritual energy revival, and then he was recruited into the government. In reality, he didn't have much savings.

The guy who kidnapped him is said to have a member of parliament and businessmen in his family, a truly wealthy and powerful family. They are not short of money at all, so there is absolutely no way they would kidnap him for money.

What does the other party want? His self-created martial arts technique? It seems that's the only answer now.

The problem is, his martial arts techniques aren't a secret. What was he going to this person's house for? Wasn't he there to instruct him on how to learn them? He didn't intend to hide them from him, so why did you tie him up?

Even if we take a step back and disregard the other party's purpose in kidnapping him, the kidnapping itself is inexplicable and could not possibly have succeeded.

Think about it, this councilor surnamed He Xin was first referred to the Anti-Dispute Department before they found him. Now that he's been kidnapped and disappeared, who will the Anti-Dispute Department turn to when they realize he's gone?

He went to the senator's house in a car provided by the Anti-Corruption Department. The Anti-Corruption Department's driver dropped him off at the door, and then he didn't come out. Who do you think did this?
And you, a local councilor, are you prepared to confront the Anti-Party? Although the He Xin family seems to have considerable power, the Anti-Party is now the central government. You really don't need to do this.

So how could Yamada Hayato have imagined that he would be kidnapped? He was completely unprepared and is still in a state of complete confusion.

However, it wasn't long before he finally learned from the men why they had kidnapped him. Their goal was to force him to create another martial arts technique.

Hayato Yamada was completely dumbfounded. Seriously, did you guys think he was some kind of genius who could just casually create another technique?

The breathing technique he created, called the Heart-Turning Flow Method, is actually a shortcut he took before it could be considered his creation.

Ultimately, this technique wasn't entirely his creation. He couldn't recall which channel he watched on TV when he was young, but it was an interview with a long-distance running team. The coach mentioned that his team used a special breathing technique while running, which, if maintained long-term, could enhance endurance. Yamada Hayato watched that program and wondered if he could apply it to martial arts, so he started practicing the breathing method the coach described.

It's unclear whether his training was correct or not, but he persisted for a long time and found that it might actually be somewhat effective. It could regulate breathing during combat, and he could indeed feel that his stamina in combat had increased. So he passed on this method to his disciples.

Then, after the spiritual energy revived, he discovered that this breathing technique seemed to be applicable to spiritual energy cultivation, and the effect was quite obvious.

Yes, before the spiritual energy revival, although there was also the concept of cultivating qi in martial arts, such as hard qigong, which also emphasizes raising one's breath, it was a way of exerting force.

However, the practice of cultivating Qi at that time was quite abstract and not very obvious.

But after the spiritual energy revived, this Qi cultivation was truly genuine. It suddenly felt like practicing internal energy cultivation, a completely different experience. He only learned later that it had become a formal cultivation method.

This technique was clearly not something he created out of thin air. Firstly, it wasn't originally his; he improved upon it. Secondly, its emergence wasn't a sudden event, but rather the culmination of over a decade of accumulation and the subsequent resurgence of spiritual energy.

Now these people want him to create another one, but where is he supposed to conjure one up? He doesn't know what to do.

Moreover, these people have an endless number of demands, because even creation requires conditions, and these conditions are increasingly abstract.

That's right, the first condition is that the creation of the technique must be completed within 2 days.

This is ridiculous. If you give him two months, he won't have any confidence. If you give him two years, he might give it a try. What kind of nonsense is two days? Are you serious?
Hayato Yamada strongly suspected that the other party gave him two days because they knew the Otherworld Division was looking for him. After all, the Otherworld Division would never expect him to be missing, and it would probably take them some time to realize he was gone. Besides, these people brought him to the outskirts of the city, so even if the Otherworld Division wanted to arrest him, they wouldn't know they had come here. The other party probably meant that they would have to leave after two days, and he needed to create the technique before then.

In fact, the Anti-Party Division had nothing to do with the future that Takaoka Yūnori simulated, because Linton found them before the Anti-Party Division.

He Xinchangping clearly did so because of Linton, which is why he used the fastest method to kidnap Yamada Hayato. He was certainly aware of the consequences, but the problem was that if they couldn't get past Linton, they had no future and wouldn't have to bear the consequences. If they could get past this hurdle, then they could worry about the consequences later.

Besides the absurd timing, there's an even more absurd condition, which is...

"Emotional energy? What is that?" That's right, these people actually asked him to create a cultivation method based on an energy he had never even heard of before.

No, he can barely recognize spiritual energy techniques, but what the hell is this emotional energy? Are you sure he can create a technique that utilizes energy he's never even heard of? How come he doesn't know he's so powerful?
