Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams-Chapter 266 - 163: Three Grandmaster Challenges, Perception Upgrade_2
Chapter 266: Chapter 163: Three Grandmaster Challenges, Perception Upgrade_2
This is a private gym that occupies nearly a hundred square meters, equipped with barbells, bench presses, and many other small-to-medium-sized fitness machines.
In the past couple of days, to prepare for any potential retaliation from the Golden Guard, Lin Hao didn’t go anywhere.
Feeling stifled, he could only resort to working out in the gym, where he was drawn into doing some mundane exercises that were better than nothing.
Bang!!
The barbell is put down, and the pitch-black weight plates stacked up like a wall.
The floor trembles, and the glass shakes.
Lin Hao raises his brow and clicks his tongue in secret, easily capturing the minute expressions of the staff around him, whether they have mouths agape or narrowed eyes.
In an instant, a display panel emerges.
[Extreme Martial: 4]
[Breakthrough: 19]
The gains from venturing into the danger zone in the past two days, his four-dimensional attributes were still slowly increasing; he suppressed the impulse to head to the Snake Spirit Secret Realm.
Besides that, his gaze drifts downward.
[Perception LV4: 1/100]
His Perception Talent had finally leveled up, and he could sense that something about himself had changed ever so slightly.
The same world, the same everything.
Black, white, blue, green, red, yellow, purple—the bodyguards indoors, the sweat on the bell jar’s handle, the flying cars roaring past outside the window, the workers cleaning the high-rise windows.
Everything is moving and living normally, existing in this world.
But.
"In my eyes, the speed has slowed down."
Chen Feng glances outside the window, the structure of the flying cars distinctly visible.
Every single movement is like a frame drop, the same goes for the actions of others in the room.
Eyes wide in surprise, eyebrows slightly relaxed.
He is certain this isn’t an illusion.
But rather a new effect from the breakthrough after leveling up his Perception.
Aside from an expanded range of up to three hundred meters, as long as he focuses his mind, he can activate it.
Making the target he is keenly observing at the moment, every split second of their movements, be reflected in his mind at an extremely fast pace, thus giving him a sensation as if the world is slowing down, like dropping frames.
Not to mention the other marvelous uses, just in combat alone.
Chen Feng feels that he might be able to use this as a foundation to observe the changes in others’ muscles, Power, and energy, predicting their attack intentions.
It can be said that it’s very powerful and once again compensates for his lack of agility.
Of course, there is a price to pay.
That is such focused sensing would consume his spirit.
For now, it seems he can maintain it for up to about fifteen minutes at most.
"However, that’s enough."
The light in his eyes still shining, Chen Feng knows, fifteen minutes is already enough for him to take care of his enemies.
Immediately thereafter, he suppresses all stray thoughts.
He tilts his head to look at Lin Hao and shares his idea.
"Since the Golden Guard is not showing up, that means he must have realized that this place isn’t so easy to breach."
"He’s probably waiting for an opportunity."
"Indeed, I think so too," nods Lin Hao.
"So, I have a plan."
"Oh?"
"Leave here, draw him out."
Chen Feng speaks calmly, yet Lin Hao is somewhat ruffled.
"Go out as bait?"
"Yes."
"This..." Lin Hao is a bit uneasy.
One reason is that it concerns his life, naturally, he is somewhat reluctant to take the risk.
Secondly, he has invested a lot of effort in the security company. If he were to leave this place, and the Golden Guard attacks and bombs it, what then?
After all, if he really decides to leave, for the sake of safety, whether it’s Uncle Liu or Chen Feng, he would have to...
Correspondingly, this place would lose its defense force against the Golden Steel Level Transformed People.
By then, even if he evacuated everyone, the reputation and credibility of Tianhao Security would definitely be blown to bits.
"Give me two more days."
With a calm expression, Chen Feng pats his shoulder, eyes locking with his.
"Then, I alone will be enough to take you out and handle everything."
Two days, enough time for him to enhance his Extreme Fighting Fist.
And to obtain a few more Snake Spirit Fruits, to undergo a complete transformation of his physique, and truly establish his footing in the Grandmaster Realm.
In this way, no matter what means or schemes the Golden Guard has up his sleeve, he would be able to break them with his own strength.
...
Bang!!
Inside a meeting room.
Blood splatters, a figure in a suit is pierced through the chest.
A golden metal arm, stained with blood, appears from behind.
Staring at the rugged, long-haired man in front of him, the victim’s eyes widen in disbelief.
"Why... Why?"
We’re all members of Utopia, even if I haven’t achieved much, I’ve suffered. Why kill me?
"Waste, there’s no need to keep you alive wasting resources."
The voice is indifferent as the Golden Guard withdraws his arm.
Thud!
The figure falls to the floor, blood spills out, forming a pool on the gray ground.
The metal arm seems to be enhanced with some kind of energy, the blood stains on it quickly evaporate and disappear without a trace.
Witnessing this scene, another person in the room turns pale, the round-patterned brooch on his chest particularly conspicuous.
"Golden, Golden Guard."
"It’s not necessary, is it?"
"Old Shen has put in a lot of effort for your re-entry..."
His voice trembles as he speaks, the Golden Guard gives him a cold glance.
"That’s why, I only killed him."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man with the brooch feels a chill in his heart.
Not daring to interrupt further, the Golden Guard then returns to the head seat, elbows propped on the oval wood table, "After the last uprising, the branches were destroyed, just to save you two for future use."
"But... what’s the point if you’ve been figured out?"
He is well aware that his whereabouts have been known by the Nanjiang City Union.
The reason is that these wastes failed to cover their tracks, exposing their identities, waiting like sitting ducks.
If not for this, he would have infiltrated the Tianhao Security building by now, destroying everything and leaving.
Instead, he finds himself in this passive position.
"This..."
The middle-aged man sitting on the left side of the oval wood table doesn’t dare to argue, in fact, he didn’t even know they were exposed until the Golden Guard became angry.
Feeling anxious, he clearly understands what this implies.
Since the last incident, the Nanjiang City Joint Council has tightened control over the district.
And it is heard that because of the recent internal conflict in Suluo, as well as issues with attracting businesses to the city, a Golden Steel Level Transformed Person has been specially requested from the Provincial Federation to oversee the area.
If his involvement were really to be uncovered, he fears he will end up being sacrificed as well.
"Continue."
The Golden Guard’s tone is flat, and without paying further attention to the other, he lightly taps the oval wood table while seated in the leather chair.
The woman in a suit and skirt standing opposite has been frightened stiff, her face pale, but eventually, she gathers her courage, pressing her wristwatch to produce a blue light screen in front of her.
"It’s been investigated."
"Tianhao Security only has three Silver Steel Grade Transformed People on public record, but, but the person behind the company, is a bit special."
Suppressing all her emotions, the woman forces herself not to look at the blood and corpse on the floor, focusing on the projection in front of her: "Lin Hao, twenty-three years old, came to Nanjiang a year ago, later obtained temporary residency, and settled here."
"He rented a house in Lakefront Garden for a year and started frequently visiting Nanjiang’s Black Market about seven months ago, having extensive private connections with the city’s Border Defense personnel."
Her voice presents alongside the flood of photos and information about Lin Hao on the projection screen.
"Three months ago, this person began Martial Arts Training at Yanwu Gym and purchased a spot in the Core Class, but made little progress in Martial Arts... later, he founded the Haofeng Boxing Club to expand his network and initiate his security business by connecting with the scions of Nanjiang City’s prominent families."
"According to the investigation into the source of his funds, he appears to have a connection with the Jade Biotechnology Group in the Inner City of Yun Gang, but the exact nature of the relationship is unknown."
"Additionally, the modules and Advanced Metal he smuggled into Nanjiang are suspected to have been acquired from the Yun Gang Black Market..."
A stream of information and the Golden Guard remain expressionless, merely tapping his finger on the table.
However, the other surviving middle-aged man starts to look uneasy.
Jade Biotechnology.
That’s a top-tier, well-known large corporation in Feng Province, with strong capabilities in biological research, Mechanical Martial, and enhancements, not only rivaling Black Crystal Group but possibly even exceeding it.
Not just in Yun Gang, but in other Central Cities, they also have branches, with significant influence in Chi Country.
"Also, after some investigation, we suspect he might be protected by a high-level Mechanical Martial behind the scenes, though we can’t confirm the exact level."
"And this sudden tracking from the City Association may also have been tipped off by them..."
The woman in a suit finishes all her analysis and conclusions in one breath, and the Golden Guard squints without saying a word.
The other middle-aged survivor feels tense, worried about him losing his temper and acting recklessly, so he quickly asks, "So what should we do?"
"The people from Jade Biotechnology are not easy to provoke, and the City Association will surely set up ambushes and will not just stand by..."
The Golden Guard, slightly impatient, gives him a sharp glance, like the intimidatig gaze of a lion, causing the other man to immediately shut up.
Only when the man seems unable to withstand his domineering presence does the Golden Guard look up indifferently towards the window.
The bustling Nanjiang District remains vibrant, his eyes flashing with an interweaving cold golden light.
"Hunters and prey can always switch roles."
"Since they want to compete with me..."
He sneers arrogantly, "Then let’s see who the deer falls to."
