Chapter 54: First Experiment!
Fang Yu notified Tang Si to handle the scene.
Since it concerned Tang Xiaorou’s personal safety, Tang Si naturally did not take it lightly and rushed over immediately.
Tang Si took the person away, and Tang Xiaorou did not say a word; she no longer had the strength to speak.
She was tired and wanted to rest.
So, she took a leave of absence and went home.
In the afternoon, Fang Yu lay on the table, resting with his eyes closed.
However, although his eyes were shut, his mind continued to calculate the mental techniques of the Essence Devouring Method.
Last night’s research had revealed possibilities to him.
If he were given a little more time, he could successfully improve the Essence Devouring Method, transforming it into a cultivation technique that absorbed spiritual energy instead of essence.
…
At the VIP ward of the city center hospital.
Li Zixuan lay on the hospital bed, his left cheek wrapped in thick gauze.
A middle-aged man, imposing and with an aura that commanded respect without anger, stood beside the bed, his fists clenched and his face ashen.
He was Li Zhengrong, a big shot in Jianghai City whose mere stomp could shake both the underworld and the legitimate world.
Li Zhengrong had been in Nandu discussing business with clients last night when he heard that Li Zixuan had been bullied, prompting him to rush back overnight.
Seeing Li Zixuan’s miserable state, Li Zhengrong felt a surge of blood rush to his head, making him dizzy.
Li Zixuan was his only son. Although he was usually strict with him, it was merely verbal; he had never physically punished him.
But now, Li Zixuan had been slapped unconscious!
This was not just a slap in the face for Li Zixuan; it was a slap in the face for Li Zhengrong as well!
Li Zixuan had already woken up. Seeing Li Zhengrong beside him, he resentfully said, “Dad, you must avenge me! Make that bastard kneel before me and apologize with a dozen kowtows!”
“The harm he caused me, I want tenfold in return!”
Li Zhengrong’s eyes were fierce as he said, “Don’t worry, Zixuan. I’ve already sent someone to find him. Jianghai City may be large, but there’s no one I, Li Zhengrong, can’t find! Even if he hides in a rat hole, I will dig him out!”
…
After school in the afternoon, Fang Yu walked home as usual.
But today, he walked a bit slower.
Because he sensed something unusual.
At this moment, he had reached a quiet little path with no pedestrians.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the small trees on either side.
At that moment, a delivery man in uniform rode an electric bicycle around the corner.
His speed was neither fast nor slow, and he was about to pass by Fang Yu.
In that instant, Fang Yu made his move.
He directly raised his foot and kicked the moving electric bicycle.
“Bang!”
The rear wheel of the electric bicycle was kicked away by Fang Yu’s foot.
The delivery man, though shocked, reacted quickly, pushing off with his feet and leaping off the bicycle.
In mid-air, the delivery man reached into his inner pocket and pulled out a uniquely shaped small pistol.
Without hesitation, Fang Yu threw a punch at the delivery man.
The delivery man’s face changed drastically, but before Fang Yu’s punch could hit him, he managed to pull the trigger, firing a black bullet.
“Bang!”
Fang Yu’s punch landed squarely on the delivery man’s chest, sending him flying.
But the bullet had already been fired, heading straight for Fang Yu’s forehead.
In a split second, Fang Yu raised his hand and slapped the bullet.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, the bullet exploded in mid-air, releasing a cloud of black mist.
A poison gas bomb?
Fang Yu frowned slightly, gathering his true energy and releasing it throughout his body.
“Boom!”
A faint red true energy erupted from Fang Yu, directly dispersing the thick black mist.
The black mist touched the leaves of a nearby small tree, causing them to instantly turn yellow!
Fang Yu slowly walked toward the assassin, who lay a dozen meters away in a delivery uniform.
“I have to say, you guys have quite a few methods for killing,” Fang Yu said with a smile.
In order to kill him, the Violet Organization first used long-range assassination weapons, then bombs, followed by poison needles, and now even poison gas bombs.
“After this failure, you guys won’t resort to rocket launchers next time, will you?” Fang Yu remarked.
The assassin, clutching his chest, looked at Fang Yu with eyes full of fear.
This person was simply a monster!
The poison gas bullet he had just used was one of the top assassination weapons within the Violet Organization.
Though small, it contained a significant amount of poison!
According to the original plan, he only needed to get close to Fang Yu and fire the poison gas bullet for the plan to succeed.
As long as Fang Yu inhaled even a little of the poison, he would die instantly!
But unexpectedly, the first half of the plan succeeded, while the second half exceeded expectations!
Not only did Fang Yu easily disperse the poison gas, but he also remained completely unharmed!
This far exceeded their expectations!
The Violet Organization’s assessment of Fang Yu’s strength was severely flawed!
If this continued, their losses would only become more severe!
The assassin looked at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with horror.
He wanted to send a message back to headquarters, but he knew he probably wouldn’t have the chance.
Fang Yu looked at the assassin and asked, “I guess you don’t know the exact location of the Violet Organization’s headquarters either.”
The assassin’s expression changed slightly, and he fell silent.
This assassin was not an ordinary person; he had a cultivation level of the fifth stage of Qi Refining.
Fang Yu stepped forward and placed his right hand on the assassin’s head.
“Just right to test the improved Essence Devouring Method on you.”
Fang Yu smiled and silently recited the mental technique he had improved last night.
A faint red glow emanated from his right hand.
The assassin’s face changed drastically as he felt a burning sensation in his dantian.
All the true energy in his body was uncontrollably being forcefully absorbed back into his dantian.
The dantian slowly expanded…
“Bang!”
The dantian reached its limit and exploded!
The assassin spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes bulging.
Fang Yu withdrew his right hand, and the assassin collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Although the experiment had failed, Fang Yu’s eyes were filled with excitement.
Because the earlier steps had been mostly successful.
He had gathered all the true energy from another person’s body back into their dantian, converting it into spiritual energy.
Fang Yu had only made a mistake in the final step, failing to absorb the spiritual energy from the assassin’s dantian.
In this step, the timing of the absorption had to be just right; otherwise, the spiritual energy in the dantian would backflow, causing it to explode and rendering all previous efforts futile.
But this was something he could master with a few more experiments.
After disposing of the assassin’s body, Fang Yu returned home, satisfied.
…
Upon returning to Lijiang Community, as soon as Fang Yu opened the door, he saw Wang Yan mopping the floor.
“Xiaoyu, you’re back,” Wang Yan smiled upon seeing Fang Yu.
Yu Yueyue should have gone to participate in the rehearsal and hadn’t returned yet.
Fang Yu sat on the sofa, cracking sunflower seeds, and asked, “Aunt Wang, have you found a job?”
Wang Yan paused in her mopping and replied, “Not yet.”
“Is the economic situation really that bad? Is it so hard to find a job?” Fang Yu asked, puzzled.
“I don’t have a degree, nor do I have any professional skills, and I’m older, so many companies don’t want employees like me,” Wang Yan said with a bitter smile.
“Aunt Wang, you’re such a good cook; it shouldn’t be hard to find a restaurant job, right?” Fang Yu suggested.
Hearing this, Wang Yan lowered her head and said softly, “I don’t have a chef’s certification, so… it’s also hard to find work in a restaurant.”
Fang Yu frowned and said, “Aunt Wang, if you need it, I can ask my friend to help you find a job.”
Wang Yan quickly waved her hand and said, “Xiaoyu, I can’t keep bothering you and your friend like this. He’s already done so much for me and Yueyue by providing us with free accommodation; I’m very grateful to him…”
Fang Yu understood Wang Yan’s character and didn’t say anything further.
“By the way, Xiaoyu, today is Yueyue’s birthday. Let’s go out to eat together later,” Wang Yan said.
“Sure,” Fang Yu immediately agreed.
At six-thirty in the evening, Yu Yueyue returned home on time.
Hearing that Wang Yan wanted to take her out to celebrate her birthday, Yu Yueyue jumped up in joy.
Half an hour later, the mother and daughter finally finished getting ready and were ready to go out.
“Where are we eating?” Fang Yu asked.
“Let’s go to Ande Western Restaurant,” Wang Yan replied.
This was a high-end Western restaurant she had chosen long ago, with many branches in Jianghai City.
The cost at this restaurant was quite high, with an average spending of at least a thousand yuan per person.
If it were just to celebrate Yu Yueyue’s birthday, Wang Yan would never have chosen this restaurant.
But the significance of this meal was also to thank Fang Yu, so she couldn’t be stingy. Even if she was poor, she wanted to treat Fang Yu to a meal.
This was the only way she could repay him at the moment.
