The sound of leather shoes stepping echoed.
The white bright tiles of the Union Building reflected the sunlight. The tall and burly black-clad youth withdrew his indifferent gaze and calmly stepped forward.
The members of the Chi Bo Energy security team in front of him all had solemn expressions and instinctively gave way. Secretary Liu, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, opened his mouth, but ultimately didn’t dare to speak.
As the footsteps faded away, the black-clad youth brushed past and walked out of the building.
Some people nearby shook their heads, some discussed. Although Cao Tong was puzzled, he didn’t ask much and quickly opened the car’s rear door.
Immediately, the black car started and drove away from the original spot.
Watching the other party leave, Secretary Liu’s expression changed, but he ultimately returned to the flying device with the security team and initiated a communication request.
"He didn’t agree to our cooperation invitation."
Upon hearing this, Han Mingchuan, who had already left, was not surprised.
"These Martial Arts Extreme Realm people are quite proud."
After the instructions were given, Secretary Liu nodded repeatedly.
Then, the air currents surged, and the flying device took off and left.
Having vaguely heard keywords like bio-experimentation, Chen Feng, sitting inside the black car, withdrew his perception, his gaze indifferent.
The upgraded perception was particularly sensitive to emotions, especially in ordinary people who hadn’t trained in martial arts or activated force field protection.
The more emphasized, the more it was concealed. He speculated that Chi Bo Energy wanted to use his blood for special biological genetic research.
No surprise, as biological modification had always existed.
Previously, it was done using Super Ancient Creature Essence Blood or weaker beast and bird blood as experiments.
And now, because of Liu Duanyun, martial arts had garnered significant attention, with hope to pave new paths and become transcendent individuals.
Naturally, strong martial artists would also become targets of attention for some people.
Shaking his head to dismiss such thoughts, Chen Feng looked at the passersby in the street outside the window, as well as many shops and restaurants billowing with the smoke of human activity.
While Chi Bo Energy was powerful, it wasn’t his main concern.
The matter informed by Chu Shihong flashed in his mind again, as did the message sent by Lin Hao on his phone.
He was certain that the other party might have already discovered the key clues and locked onto him.
Cold light flashed in his eyes as he looked at a mark in the palm of his hand.
A deep and unusual black crow, with that emerald Talent Light Group being the most critical.
At that time, Lord Hurricane appeared very mysteriously, and he had always suspected the other party leveraged this aspect of power.
Moreover, combining with the situation of Blood Moon Flower blooming in the Ironwood Forest, he believed this Talent Light Group likely involved some special abilities at the life level, potentially giving him a chance to mask a new identity.
If he could acquire it, his future actions would not implicate others.
Immediately, with this thought determined, his eyes returned to being profound and calm.
Once the black car returned to the Martial Arts Hall, Chen Feng received a call from Lin Hao.
"You know everything?"
The familiar voice carried a trace of worry, and Chen Feng nodded.
"Why not go to the North?"
"Hasn’t the Holy Sect always been inviting you? I heard the relationship over there is quite tight with the Red Capital, if you agree..."
Shaking his head, Chen Feng interrupted Lin Hao’s words, knowing it was out of concern and was a reasonable suggestion on the surface.
"I know what I’m doing, don’t worry."
With simple responses, he finally hung up the phone, solidifying his thoughts. Newest update provided by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Once he returned alone to the Quiet Room, he sat cross-legged.
The legendary imprints in his mind flickered, while all his Martial Arts True Skill turned into radiant engravings on his being.
Reflecting, comprehending, adapting....
During this time, he also felt the Soul Fire’s link and noticed the memory frames of Jia Ta, flawed like delayed frames, flashing before his eyes.
By the end, as the sky darkened.
He closed his eyes and entered a dream again.
The scorching sun shone brightly at noon.
A wave surged, rolling with spray.
The sunlight barely pierced the deep ocean, where seaweed swayed and grew amidst the silt and gray sand.
Suddenly, two adult-sized deep blue eyes appeared out of nowhere.
It was as if a giant creature had awakened, stirring a rush of water.
The surrounding fish fled in terror, and the shrimp and crabs hid away.
But strangely, amidst this terrifying scene, there was a figure in a black trench coat strolling on the seabed, slowly approaching the awakened giant creature.
The sound of cheering rang out, tentacles waved, kicking up a cloud of dust from the seabed.
During this moment, a flash of silver caught the reflection, and Chen Feng clearly saw several silver coins hidden in crevices of the reef at the rear.
"You’ve grown again."
Chen Feng walked to the enormous deep blue eyes, raised his hand, and gently stroked the skull-shaped octopus head.
With perception enveloping everything, he could see clearly even in the darkness underwater.
Jia Ta had already reached a size of seventeen meters, and its aura was closing in on the Sixth Order level.
The Soul Fire allowed communication between man and beast, and Jia Ta indicated it had hunted many sea beasts lately.
A tentacle reached out, pointing at the object it spat out from its mouth.
A black thin string with a unique sea conch about ten centimeters long attached to it.
Yellowish white, with a few golden pattern engravings, it was clearly the former Extraordinary object, the Ocean Shell.
Somewhat surprised, Chen Feng discerned the message of the other party.
The Ocean Shell matched it particularly well; after wearing it continuously for two or three months, its body growth accelerated slightly.
It seemed that the Ocean Shell was drawing some kind of power from the ocean and feeding it back to transform it into a trace of warmth.
"It seems to be well-matched with you."
