System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

The foreigner who assassinated Yi Sa showed a hint of fear in his eyes. He never expected that someone could actually block his attack with their body.

When he stabbed the dagger, it felt like he had stabbed a steel plate; the enormous recoil made his hand go numb and the dagger almost slipped from his grasp.

In contrast, Zhang Hao's arm wasn't even broken.

The assassin knew he had no chance against Zhang Hao, and when his assassination attempt failed, he turned and fled.

Before he could even turn around, he saw two beams of green light shoot out from Zhang Hao's eyes.

The moment he saw the green light, he felt his consciousness slip out of control and fall into an illusion, and then he completely lost his consciousness.

All this happened in a flash of lightning.

Apart from Zhang Hao, no one else had any idea what was happening.

They only snapped out of their daze after Zhang Hao had subdued the assassin.

Just as Yi Sa was about to retaliate, she noticed that the assassin was standing there motionless with a dazed look on his face.

At the same time, four or five burly men rushed out from the shadows and bound the assassin tightly with ropes.

After doing all this, they knelt down in front of Yi Sa.

"Master, it was our lack of vetting that gave the assassin an opportunity, causing you to be frightened."

Yi Sa glanced at the people kneeling in front of her and coldly rebuked them:

"What's the point of saying all this now? What's done is done. Go back and face your punishment after this mission."

"Yes!"

Several burly men responded and stood up from the ground.

After finishing her business here, Yi Sa suddenly turned around and took Zhang Hao's hand.

"Zhang Hao, are you alright?"

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

Yi Sa looked at Zhang Hao's arm and found that the spot where he had been stabbed by the dagger was completely intact and he was not injured at all.

She couldn't believe her eyes; she had clearly seen the assassin stab Zhang Hao's arm with a dagger.

That assassin was highly skilled; he was no ordinary person and was clearly a trained martial artist.

Despite his fatal blow, Zhang Hao was completely unharmed.

This is really hard to believe.

If that dagger had been stuck in my body, I would probably be a cold corpse by now.

Zhang Hao didn't have a single wound on his body.

Don't know how he did it.

However, she had already remembered Zhang Hao's life-saving kindness.

Yi Sa secretly made up her mind that if she could find the secret of the water demon's mutation and survive, she would work for Zhang Hao like Ding Yudie to repay his life-saving grace.

"Uncle, it's so good that you're alright."

"Boss, you're amazing! Look, that dagger on the ground has a nick, but it didn't leave a wound on you."

Your body is harder than steel?

How exactly did they do that?

Hearing Ding Yudie's exclamation, Zhang Hao realized that the dagger the assassin had just used had left two cuts on his arm.

It is evident that one's own body is much harder than the steel used to forge the dagger.

Zhang Hao smiled but did not explain why this phenomenon occurred.

Just then, Wu Tianzhen spoke up:

"I know that. Studies have shown that when the body's muscles are developed enough, the muscle density will increase, and the muscles will become harder. This phenomenon will only occur when the small muscles are developed to a certain extent."

"The idea that the human body can be as hard as steel is only theoretical!"

"No one has ever done this in real life. The boss should be the first person to get muscles to this level. He's a genius."

Zhang Hao smiled and shook his head. The reason his body was so hard was because it was infused with diamond, making it much harder than steel.

However, since Wu Tianzhen had already given him an excuse, he didn't want to waste any more words explaining, so he tacitly accepted that this was the reason.

Yi Sa was relieved to see that Zhang Hao was alright.

"Take him to the secret room; I want to interrogate him myself!"

At Yi Sa's command, several burly men escorted the assassin toward the cabin.

There is a linen room in the cabin corridor, which is used to store clean bed sheets.

There are hundreds of rooms on the cruise ship, and dozens or even hundreds of sheets need to be changed every day, with the linen room piled up tightly.

As soon as you enter, a pungent, fishy stench hits you.

Once everyone had entered the room, one of the burly men stomped his foot.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of the machine running in my ears.

At this moment, the entire linen room slowly descended like an elevator.

After descending about five or six meters, the burly man opened the door again.

Outside the door was a tightly constructed secret room, with various instruments of torture on the walls surrounding it.

These instruments of torture are old and worn, clearly indicating a long history.

In addition, the dim lighting inside made it very uncomfortable.

Looking at the layout of the secret room, the fat man exclaimed, "I never expected there to be such a hidden secret room on the ship. If you hadn't led the way, I would never have found this place."

Yi Sa smiled and said, "Our Yi family's ships are all custom-made, and each one has a secret room like this on board, just in case."

This secret room is like a giant elevator; it only descends after a mechanism is triggered.

But the mechanism was well hidden; if it weren't for seeing the burly man stomp his foot, no one would have guessed that the mechanism was right under their feet.

Yi Sa had the burly men tie the assassins to iron chairs and then let them leave.

She only began the interrogation when she was alone in the secret room with Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Ding Yudie, and Zhang Qilin.

"Speak! Who are you? Why did you try to assassinate me?"

"If you know what's good for you, you'd better tell the truth, or I'll make you suffer more than if you were dead!"

“I am a member of the Ding family. Ding Changsheng sent me to assassinate you.”

Yi Sa was taken aback. She had originally planned to use torture to extract information, but the assassin didn't even resist and just answered whatever she was asked.

He never expected the interrogation to go so smoothly.

The assassin made no attempt to argue or find an excuse to exonerate himself.

This surprised him.

"No, it's not Ding Changsheng!"

Since setting off for the Sanjiangyuan region, Ding Changsheng and his men have been following far behind.

Zhang Hao wanted to lure him into Zuyuan Jintang, while Ding Changsheng wanted to track them down to Zuyuan Jintang.

Given this, and since the ancestral stronghold hasn't been found yet, how could Ding Changsheng possibly send someone to assassinate Yi Sa?

He could have waited until he found the ancestral stronghold and entered it before setting up an ambush.

Therefore, it doesn't make sense that he sent someone to assassinate him in advance.

The person who assassinated Yi Sa was definitely not Ding Changsheng.

However, he had already fallen under Zhang Hao's illusion and couldn't possibly lie.

Then there is only one possibility: someone impersonated Ding Changsheng, the head of the Ding family, and issued the order.

To accomplish all this without anyone noticing, it must be the Ding family.

Zhang Hao guessed that Ding Changsheng was probably just a pawn.

All of this was orchestrated by the people controlling the Ding family behind the scenes.

The person behind this must be someone whose body is possessed by the consciousness of God, and his thoughts are the so-called thoughts of God.

He wanted to stop Yi Sa from finding the ancestral golden soup.

That means there must be a secret that the gods don't want to reveal in the ancestral golden soup.
