An ordinary thirty-year-old face, ordinary build, wearing a windbreaker and hiking boots, traversing the lush forest like a mountaineer.
His silhouette resembles a cheetah, agile and swift as he runs quickly inside, almost leaving a trail of shadows.
Time passes minute by minute, perception has long been amplified, covering thousands of meters around.
During this time, the sound of helicopters and fighter jets occasionally echoed overhead, he knew clearly these suburban forests were the best hiding places.
Sometimes hiding under trees, or concealing himself behind rocks.
Every time a search occurs, he skillfully evades it, unknowingly finding himself in another suburban area north of Yun Gang.
The closer he gets to the mainland interior, the rarer the sounds of searches through the atmosphere become.
After an hour, Chen Feng distantly saw smoke rising from a factory, while subtly feeling the ground gently tremble.
Immediately, he glanced towards an asphalt road outside the forest.
With a buzzing sound, a small truck appeared around the bend, its closed compartment filled with numerous wooden boxes and cargo.
The middle-aged driver bit a cigarette with stubble-filled mouth, focused entirely on the road ahead.
The slight sinking of the vehicle body caught his attention, the hidden figure below amplified their perception, ensuring no traces were left behind before barely relaxing.
"It seems the commotion stirred this time was a bit much."
With calm eyes, Chen Feng grasped the steel pipe of the truck’s chassis with one arm, his mind flashed with various cluttered thoughts.
Killing Luo Wantao was something he had to do.
Because he knew, once the other party’s reassignment was successful, he definitely wouldn’t let him go, likely already figuring out the perpetrator was closely related to him.
So, for most of these three days, he spent time planning routes, resulting in a seemingly smooth and peaceful departure.
Yet even so, he paid quite a price.
Within the mark of the Heart of Life, more than half of the life essence obtained from Admiral Evil Prison was consumed.
Mostly used for healing injuries, restoring physical strength, and alleviating body strain.
This was his true confidence for leaving Yun Gang urban area, successively repelling the Flying General, capturing mechanical martial, and withstanding energy and sniper cannons.
Moreover, as a result, he discovered something unexpected yet reasonable.
Killing the transformed people and mechanical martial, including that Tang Lin.
The quality of life essence wasn’t very high, far less than Admiral Evil Prison’s level.
"Transformation or mechanical martial, at the root, all are external forces."
"One applies transformation power internally, gaining a strong body and strength, the other uses it on mechanical weapons, achieving as desired."
"Essentially, their life levels are still that of ordinary people, merely reaching inhuman stages through technology...."
His mind ventured into a string of speculations, yet Chen Feng wasn’t too disappointed about this.
[Steel Bones LV5: 56/100]
Transformed people and mechanical martial are difficult to provide much life essence, but metal essence perfectly complements from another aspect.
Steel Bone progress therefore increased significantly, Green Armor progress soared silently, reaching ninety-six percent, about to upgrade again.
Aside from that, most importantly.
[Heart of Glory LV5: 1/100]
[You have completed a battle to defend glory.]
[Heart of Glory upgraded successfully!]
[You have gained an opportunity to enhance the Holy Shield Giant!]
[Tip 1: Holy Shield Giant will undergo a second transformation, the first phase enhancement upgrade can be initiated immediately!]
[Tip 2: The second phase requires substantial Power of Earth Veins for supplement energy, unable to act during upgrade!]
[Tip 3: During the transformation, glory value can accumulate normally, becoming nutrients for the next transformation!]
With the tips emerging, the Heart of Glory finally upgraded again.
But unlike previous single transformations, this Holy Shield Giant enhancement is somewhat special.
"The first phase enhancement can be completed quickly."
"The second phase requires sufficient Power of Earth Veins for energy replenishment....and like last time’s transformation upgrade, will be dormant for a while, unable to act."
His gaze flashed slightly, observing two tips, roughly receiving inspirational feedback.
He suspected the second transformation of Holy Shield Giant may produce some enormous change, or perhaps each upgrade after Sixth Order is extremely arduous.
After all, simply relying on glory value would suffice before, even with the previous days of dormancy during transformation, external forces weren’t utilized.
"Power of Earth Veins, meaning to find some special mountain, let the Holy Shield Giant absorb sufficient earth elements?"
Analyzing the upgrade conditions again, Chen Feng’s thoughts ultimately returned to the starting point.
"Strengthen the first phase first then move forward."
With the thought fleeting, he immediately chanted upgrade silently.
Suddenly, in his mind, the radiantly glowing mass trembled violently, the miniature Holy Shield Giant suspended motionless, but golden rain surrounded it, slowly merging into its body.
Chen Feng knew, the golden rain was the glory value he had been collecting.
Estimating the opponent needed a short time for enhancement and upgrade, he then retracted his perception, expanding it again to cover surroundings.
Without speaking throughout the journey, finally discovering the city border defense ahead not far.
Without delay, he quickly leaped down from the truck, detoured the suburban forest.
Looking accordingly, a lush shrub was growing wantonly, furthermore high bundles of dried leaves and branches protrude, one after another.
Should have been unnoticed, but as Chen Feng approached, he raised his palm to strike.
All dried leaves and branches were lifted, an unmanned flying car parked there.
The intelligent mode within already closed and destroyed by the backend, Chen Feng without unnecessary words, swiftly retrieved the key to open it, sitting inside the cockpit.
During this, Power of Physique operated again, with transformation, his features turned into a thirty-year-old slender male with deep-set eyes.
Taking new clothes from the backpack beside the passenger seat, he changed everything in preparation.
As the tail wave surged, he drove the flying car rapidly towards Nanjiang.
Proceeding thus unknowingly for long, not even sleeping to rest that night, instead fully rushing.
Until arriving near the suburbs at nightbreak.
He raised his palm, touching the flying car’s hood, visibly watching this intact flying car gradually crumble, leaving only debris on the ground, along with other non-metal parts.
The punch exploded it all, leaving only dust. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveIＦire.net
Raise his palm for a wave, exerting giant force to cover plants and dirt, completely burying these last traces.
Chen Feng’s gaze calm, then striding meteorically, bypassing Nanjiang’s city border defense, returning to Martial Arts Hall in the city.
Starlit night dotted along the way, without any incidents.
The Quiet Room’s door quietly pushed open, sitting cross-legged, the mannequin clad in black windbreaker restored to its original state.
Finally, picking up the phone, unlocking the screen.
Unread messages came into view one after another.
