Where's my golden core? Did you think I removed a kidney stone?

"He dodged it?"

The first thing that echoed through the woods was this undisguised astonishment.

Li Yuefeng's expression changed slightly. Just now, he suddenly turned the steering wheel in his hand, and the black SUV almost slid sideways along the edge of the forest road. The tires plowed two deep tracks in the mud. He looked over and saw that where the front of the car had just been, a large hole had been blown open, with soil and rocks flying everywhere and dust rising in all directions.

Even so, one of his tires burst, rendering him unable to continue driving. Staying in the car would be suicide.

It was an assassination attempt!

Li Yuefeng kicked open the car door, tumbling out of the driver's seat. The moment he landed, he crouched down, his gaze sharp as a knife, fixed on the depths of the shadows in the woods.

The sound of wind rustling through the woods.

Several figures dressed in black slowly emerged from the shadows of the trees. Dressed in black and with their faces covered, they were clearly not benevolent.

Li Yuefeng's heart sank.

These people are no ordinary bandits.

"The response is good."

One of them had a hoarse voice, tinged with amusement, "People from the Jiangnan Military Region are indeed different from ordinary people."

Li Yuefeng's heart sank to the bottom. The fact that the other party knew he was from the military region meant that everything that had happened was premeditated.

The man didn't give him a chance to think, and with a light tap of his foot, he disappeared from the spot.

So fast that the afterimage was invisible.

Li Yuefeng felt a blur before his eyes, and a gust of evil wind rushed towards him. He almost instinctively raised his arm to block it. The next moment, there was a muffled thud, his arm went numb from the shock, and he took half a step back, his shoes sinking deep into the mud.

That's some real force!

Before he could regain his footing, a second dark figure swept in from the side, its palm strike as sharp as a knife, aiming straight for his ribs.

Li Yuefeng gritted his teeth, advancing instead of retreating, and the power within him that had been surging wildly lately suddenly tightened.

The muscles in my forearm suddenly trembled.

The exertion of force, which was extremely difficult in the past, became incredibly smooth at this moment when a life-or-death crisis erupted. A rapid, trembling sound bursting from the depths of the fascia, layer upon layer, instantly pressed into the fist.

Li Yuefeng unleashed a powerful punch!

boom!

The two men's fists and palms collided, and the air in the forest seemed to tremble. The man in black, who had initially been somewhat contemptuous, suddenly changed his expression. He felt an extremely strange force penetrate through the point of contact, passing through his skin and flesh, and reaching his very bones.

He was blasted away by the punch, his back smashing through a dead tree. After landing, he staggered back several steps and finally couldn't hold it in, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The men in black in the woods were all startled.

"Such penetrating power..."

"That's impossible."

"An external appearance practitioner, frankly speaking, is just a cripple, yet he's already developing his skills so quickly?"

"There might be someone behind him..."

At this point, the person suddenly stopped talking, as if realizing something, and did not continue.

But Li Yuefeng felt a chill run down his spine.

Foreign Minister.

Disabled person.

术。

He had never heard of any of these words.

But this group of people not only recognized him and knew that he came from the Jiangnan Military Region, but they also knew more about the changes in his body than he did himself.

Who are they?

What do they want to do?

When did such a group of people appear in the Jiangnan region?

What's even more terrifying is that these people don't look very old, but their speed, strength, and almost ghostly movements when they strike send chills down Li Yuefeng's spine.

A layer of cold sweat seeped from Li Yuefeng's palms.

The night was deep, and the forest was already dark. The group of people standing among the shadows of the trees looked like ghosts that had been born from the forest itself.

"Who exactly are you people?"

Li Yuefeng spoke in a deep voice, his eyes becoming increasingly sharp.

The man in black who had coughed up blood wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his gaze toward him no longer held any contempt, but only a cold scrutiny.

"You are not worthy to know our identity."

Li Yuefeng's heart sank.

Just then, a deep rumble of vehicle engines suddenly sounded in the distance.

One, two, three.

Approaching from afar, it drowned out the sound of the wind in the forest.

Several men in black turned their heads almost simultaneously, exchanged glances, their expressions immediately darkening, and their eyes sharpening.

"People from the military region have arrived."

They were clearly extremely unwilling to reveal too much at this time. One of the men in black looked at Li Yuefeng with resentment, but when his gaze fell on Li Yuefeng's trembling right arm, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said.

"You lowly outward manifestation, do not be proud. To us, your 'evolution' is nothing more than the echo of spiritual energy falling into your flesh. You are destined to be taken away by us and refined into magic."

With a swift movement, it was even faster than when it arrived, disappearing back into the depths of the forest in just a few breaths, like drops of ink merging into the night, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Li Yuefeng stood there, his chest heaving violently, his expression grim. These people had indeed come because of the changes in him.

Fortunately.

Luckily, he had made an appointment in advance.

Recently, his muscle loss has become increasingly severe. Several of his comrades in the army were worried that he might have a problem driving on the road, so they arranged to meet him here. Unexpectedly, this arrangement actually saved his life.

Soon, several black military vehicles stopped beside the forest road.

The car doors opened simultaneously, and seven or eight men rushed out, each with a grim expression and swift movements, clearly elite soldiers. Some immediately scattered to check the surrounding traces, while others quickly went to Li Yuefeng's side and whispered inquiries about the situation.

But Li Yuefeng's heart had already sunk to the bottom.

Because he knew it very well.

These men in front of me are all true elite soldiers from the Jiangnan Military Region. They are well-trained, battle-hardened, and can easily take on three to five strong men each.

But what if those men in black really insisted on keeping them here...?

I estimate that none of them will escape.

It wasn't them who intimidated those men in black.

It is the Jiangnan Military Region.

It is the power of the government.

The future will be drastically different.

After that white mist, a mysterious power, along with spiritual energy, truly descended upon the human world.

What truly shook Li Yuefeng to his core were those few words.

Foreign Minister.

Disabled person.

Technique...

He suddenly clenched his fists tightly.

Today in the hospital room, Su Ye's words flashed through his mind one by one. Under Su Ye's guidance, he gained a completely new understanding. When he threw that punch in the critical moment today, he also clearly felt the difference.

As for that punch he threw.

The men in black clearly saw something and were extremely wary. Their hesitant words left Li Yuefeng with mixed feelings.

As his thoughts turned to this point, a young face suddenly appeared in his mind with unparalleled clarity.

Su Ye.

Li Yuefeng's eyes flickered slightly.

What terrifying secret does that young man hold?

……

After getting off work, Su Ye did not immediately return to his residence.

He arrived at the middle of an open space, slowly exhaled, and kept replaying in his mind the muscle vibrations he had seen in the ward earlier that day and the feeling of the punch he had delivered when he killed the mutated creature in the alley.

Li Yuefeng's technique.

One's own small force.

The two thoughts kept colliding, overlapping, and being deduced in my mind.

at last.

Su Ye raised his hand, his five fingers slightly clenched, his blood and qi descended, his breathing naturally began, and his heart pounded heavily in his chest.

A punch was thrown!

boom!

The same heartbeat of 420 beats per minute, the same burst of short-range force, yet this punch was completely different from those of the previous days.

The air before the fist seemed to explode first, and the boulder in front of him, which was as tall as a person, shattered with a muffled bang before the cracks could even extend.

Stone chips were blown up.

Pieces rolled down.

It was like a small bomb exploding.

Su Ye slowly withdrew his fist and looked down at his knuckles.

It's only slightly red.

A moment later, the redness faded.

He revealed a hint of satisfaction.

This punch was far more powerful than the ones from a few days ago.

And this was achieved while maintaining the same peak heart rate.

What does this mean?

This means that his understanding of "technique" has deepened to a new level.

Su Ye stood on the ground, breathing steadily, his eyes bright.

Such power.

They are no longer human.
