Chapter 276: True Identity Hidden
“My hand!”
“My hand!”
In the old music and video store, the man was in great pain, and a few henchmen with blackened middle fingers were giving him emergency bandaging.
He was in so much pain that his head was covered in sweat beads the size of soybeans, still shouting, “You’re all doomed!”
“You’re all doomed!”
“Without asking around, we are part of Seventh Uncle Lei’s group in the ‘Black Finger’ gang.”
“Today you cut off my hand, tomorrow I will use your heads as stools to sit on!”
Luo Yan frowned and said, “Noisy.”
Wen Zou immediately smiled and walked forward with his hands clasped together.
Luo Yan reminded him, “Don’t dirty the ground.”
“Alright.”
Wen Zou cheerfully replied, making a hand gesture with his hands tucked into his sleeves.
Several Elemental Power Chains captured two members of the ‘Black Finger’ gang.
Wen Zou finally pulled his hands out of his sleeves, held a short blade upside down, stabbed the shoulder of the ‘Black Finger’ leader, wedging it under his collarbone, and then dragged him away with a smirk.
The man suddenly cried out in pain and his men were about to organize a rescue, but then they all froze in place.
Behind one of them, only Wei Junyi, with just one arm left, peeked out from behind the corner.
“Don’t shout, don’t yell.”
“Come out and talk.”
Suddenly, around ten people in the music store disappeared, their figures shrinking into the shadows of the alley, and soon there was no sound.
If not for the severed hand on the ground and the blood nearby.
Otherwise, the store looked just like before.
Luo Yan walked up to the counter and looked at the old man who seemed to have fallen asleep again.
He whispered softly.
“Can you sell this shop for 50,000?”
The old man suddenly opened his eyes wide and eagerly said, “Yes, yes, yes!”

Two days later.
In the afternoon.
When Luo Yan entered the training arena, he saw Di Zheng.
He was a bit surprised.
During the City Lord election, Di Zheng unexpectedly had time to come to school.
“Today, I will teach you the third technique of the ‘Open Soul Wheel’.”
“Open Spiritual Wheel.”
Di Zheng smirked slightly, “The ‘Open Soul Wheel’ technique also has four other techniques, which are even more powerful and useful.”
“If you have the chance in the future, you can exchange for further learning at the ‘Giant Beast Strategy Manor’.”
Luo Yan remembered he had contribution points left unused at the ‘Strategy Manor’, so he nodded.
Di Zheng became serious and explained, “The ‘Open Spiritual Wheel’ will make your muscles, tendons, and bones more flexible.”
“Your senses will become sharper, and your reflexes and dynamic vision will improve to a certain extent.”
“It will help you become more agile in battles, truly being able to see all directions and hear everything around you.”
“After opening the ‘Open Spiritual Wheel,’ then cut through the ‘Open Ghost Wheel,’ your speed and agility will reach their limits.”
“While you move, there will be no sound at all, not even a whisper, whether you attack or move.”
“It’s important to note that after opening the ‘Open Spiritual Wheel,’ you may experience significant muscle fatigue that could affect your agility.”
“However, as your skills improve and your physical strength increases, this negative effect will gradually weaken until it disappears, just like the ‘Open Yuan Wheel’ that can be repeatedly activated.”
Luo Yan nodded.
Then Di Zheng began to instruct him on how to direct Elemental Power to impact specific acupoints to open the Spiritual Wheel.
They practiced for an afternoon.
Luo Yan had a solid grasp of it and with a little more practice, he could open it in an instant.
After teaching the ‘Open Spiritual Wheel,’ Di Zheng didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he walked to the window and looked out at the school outside.
“The recruitment of team members.”
“I’ve been thinking recently, you can go to Xi Jiu Hutong and find the group called ‘Iron Horse’.”
“They are mostly retired soldiers from the military, needing money for various reasons, with huge expenses that can’t be earned through normal means.”
“So, they gathered together and became mercenaries.”
“They are called mercenaries, but they basically take on any kind of business.”
“When there’s no business, they try their luck in forbidden areas.”
“However, recently, they have encountered some problems, and it seems like things won’t be as good as before.”
“Facing the possibility of being taken over or dissolved, if you can ‘persuade’ them, you can at least recruit about twenty skilled individuals.”
Luo Yan’s eyes lit up at the idea of recruiting this group all at once, which would then fulfill a task given to him by Heiwu.
“I’ll give it a try.”
Di Zheng nodded and said, “After Huang Yuanhang and his son were arrested, his followers scattered and each went their own way.”
“The underground city is fine, but on the surface, Huang Yuanhang has funded several bases and a weapons development company. It is said that they have developed a new type of combat tool that combines mechs with vehicles.”
“These bases and the development company are now doing their own thing and not following the rules of the underground city. It won’t be long before they are cleaned out first.”
Luo Yan then asked, “What’s the situation with the City Lord election now?”
Just as Di Zheng was about to speak, he squinted his eyes suddenly and then chuckled, “Surprisingly, he found his way here.”
Luo Yan looked out the window and saw a middle-aged man with a bulky waist, greasy hair, and carrying bags of various sizes walking towards them.
“That’s the security chief, Wu Shimu,” Di Zheng quietly introduced to Luo Yan.
Outside the window, Wu Shimu was already laughing heartily, “Ah, Di, I finally found you here after searching for a while.”
“Oh, isn’t this my classmate Luo?”
“Classmate Luo is now a famous person in Qingyang City, he saved an underground city, truly a young hero.”
“Today, being able to have a drink and chat with my buddy Di and classmate Luo, I, old Wu, am very lucky.”
Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this guy and his brother Wu Changqing were quite something.
Gently blinked his eyes.
Looked at the ‘Eye of Reality’.
Luo Yan suddenly felt his breath getting heavier.
This Mr. Wu, really mysterious!
Wu Shimu, 49 years old, head of the security department in Guangling City.
Divine Hidden Art: Timeless Legacy.
Techniques: Illumination Method.
Realm: Mystery Achieving Level 5.
Battle Strategy…
These details were completely beyond what his younger brother could compare to.
Who could have imagined?
This middle-aged man, with a common appearance and merchant-like face, was actually a skilled expert!
Over there.
Di Zheng had already opened the door, letting Wu Shimu in.
Luo Yan focused and started to dig into the security chief’s true feelings, to see what kind of attitude he really had toward Di Zheng.
“Come, come, this wine is brewed by Qiusheng Hall, it tastes good, and it also nourishes and invigorates, especially suitable for you, my friend.”
At a table in the training arena, Wu Shimu placed the wine on the table and slid it over to Di Zheng.
Di Zheng chuckled and picked it up to examine it, “Qiusheng Hall’s wine is not cheap, this bottle alone, at least costs fifty to sixty thousand work points, right?”
Wu Shimu laughed heartily, “Not that much, not that much.”
But in Luo Yan’s eyes, what he saw was different.
Indeed not cheap, this bottle cost me 120,000.
However, if it can impress someone with the surname Di, no matter how expensive, it’s worth it.
Ah, how can I make him believe that I am sincere and genuine.
He explores his land, while I am the City Lord, and everyone takes what they need.
I’m not a coward like Luo Tianyi. Plus, even if the army doesn’t engage in surface activities, as long as Yanfu exists, the threat of giant beasts remains.
Whether you agree or not doesn’t make much difference.
If it weren’t for the additional support gained by joining the conservative faction back then, I wouldn’t bother dealing with those short-sighted merchants.
Now that Di Zheng is willing to support me as City Lord, it wouldn’t matter even if I leaned towards the extremist faction.
