“I heard that Sky God International has already called the police, and the Investigation Team has started to get involved, preparing to find Huan Ling… but it’s hard to say now, it’s been so long. If I were Huan Ling, I’d have run off long ago.”

Tang Huoyang shook his head as he spoke.

Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow, “You know all about these secret matters?”

Tang Huoyang chuckled, “It’s only a secret to the outside world. Now, it’s all over the inner circles. They say that Huan Ling originally could have been promoted to a seat on the board of directors, but the upper echelons vetoed it, leaving him with a grudge… Some even say that Huan Ling met a front desk girl at Heaven God and took a liking to her, but the girl ended up being seduced by someone higher up… It’s really the details that make or break a situation.”

Pei Jinye:

Luckily, Huan Ling had already disappeared from this world, otherwise if he knew someone was fabricating stories about him like this, he’d probably be crawling over here through the internet lines by now.

Listened to these rumors,

Pei Jinye downed the medicinal soup in one gulp.

“Fancy a fight?”

Tang Huoyang waved his hand, “I just got here, let me rest a bit. Let’s have a cheap chat first. Do you think Heaven God will seek revenge on the Old Gods Association?”

“How should I know?” Pei Jinye said impatiently, slathering blood energy dispersal on his body as if it didn’t cost a thing.

Stroking his chin, Tang Huoyang pondered, “If I were a top-level executive at Heaven God, I would definitely seek revenge. But knowing Heaven God’s shameless style, they’ll likely go to the city hall and use [Punishment Heaven]’s authority to chase down the Old Gods Association. But if I were a high-ranking member of the Old Gods Association, I’d take advantage of the momentum, with Huan Ling’s intelligence support, and strike a fatal blow to Heaven God… Old Pei, what do you think?”

Pei Jinye responded irritably, “What I think is useless. Besides, with Heaven God knowing about Huan Ling’s defection, they’ll definitely strengthen their defenses.”

“True,” Tang Huoyang lamented, “I just wonder if the head of the Old Gods Association has the guts to withstand the pressure and go all out.”

At this moment.

Red Rose Bar.

Black Shark was utterly confused.

“Huan Ling defected and joined our Old Gods Association? When did this happen…”

Red Rose hesitated, “Are you sure? The whole world is spreading the word now, the Federation even issued a warrant for Huan Ling…”

Black Shark wore a strange expression, “Of course I’m sure. It was hard enough for Heaven God to plant a spy, let alone turn a high-level talent like that. There must be some misunderstanding here?”

Red Rose suggested, “Why don’t you ask headquarters if they turned him?”

“That possibility can’t be excluded. But if Huan Ling really joined us, he would have sought us out by now, right? Headquarters must have informed him of the secret codes for contact, but I haven’t found anything…”

The Old Gods Association was also at a loss,

as if a shadowy hand had played everyone for fools behind the scenes.

In fact, that was exactly what was happening.

Bronze Association.

“Bang!”

Pei Jinye blocked Tang Huoyang’s punch, shifting his stance as his right hand retaliated with a sweeping punch.

The punch was like hitting a steel wall.

They exchanged blows rapidly, sometimes striking fast, other times maneuvering and wrestling with their arms in a test of strength.

Under the discipline of vitality, their current exchange was much more refined than it had been days ago.

Before long,

Pei Jinye was shoved back by Tang Huoyang’s rush, leaping back a step, his hands reddened from the strikes.

“That’s enough, that’s enough. Your blood energy is too fierce now, and you’ve gained a lot more strength…” Panting heavily, Tang Huoyang said as he grabbed a bottle of water and poured it over his head.

Today Pei Jinye had undergone a qualitative change from before.

His punches were much fiercer.

And his strength had increased considerably.

The timing of his attacks often gave Tang Huoyang a sharp and intimidating feeling.

If he hadn’t been toughened up already, and if he weren’t strengthened as a Transcendent, he would probably have been knocked down by the monstrous Old Pei by now.

Today’s multiple exchanges had him suppressed by Pei Jinye’s offensive at least 70% of the time. This unpredictable rhythm made Tang Huoyang extremely uncomfortable.

“You’re trying too hard.”

Tang Huoyang thought to himself, watching Pei Jinye’s improvement rate surpass his own. It was anxious not to be worried, but to give up his comfortable life to train every moment with Pei Jinye was something he couldn’t do.

Pei Jinye took a few sips of cool water, “In this world, if you don’t rely on yourself to get stronger, can you really hope that the opponent will show mercy?”

Tang Huoyang opened his mouth, “I can’t argue with you… You and Sister Xiao Yong are both training maniacs, way too scary.”

Pei Jinye shook his head.

The two rested for a while and then continued sparring.

The dust in the surroundings was stirred into the air by the impact of their blows.

“What’s going on? Who’s sparring in the training field?”

Someone stood in front of the training field’s gate, curiously poking their head to look inside.

“Isn’t that Tang Huoyang?” someone at the side said with surprise and uncertainty after a glance.

“It’s him… lately, he has been frequently visiting the guild. He never used to do that.”

Some swept a glance and didn’t take it to heart, but a girl next to them said, “Lately, he has been getting quite close to that guy with the last name Pei… they’re often seen together.”

“Is Pei Jinye planning to follow the Tang Family’s path? Didn’t Senior Jiang already express goodwill? Clinging to the Jiang family is definitely better than sticking with the Tang Family, right? The Tang Family might have money, but they don’t have much power.”

Some looked back at Jiang Lingsu.

Jiang Lingsu just glanced indifferently in Pei Jinye’s direction and said, “Junior Brother Pei has been progressing rapidly in his cultivation. If I’m not mistaken… he hasn’t been practicing ‘Quake’ for long, has he?”

“A mere foundational technique, so what if he has learned it!” Suddenly, an impolite voice came through.

All eyes turned.

And each person was taken aback.

“Fang Tianjian?”

“Old Fang?”

“You’ve finally come back after disappearing for so many days.”

“That matter with Lan Feng, the Investigation Team didn’t give you a hard time, did they?”

As soon as Lan Feng was mentioned, Fang Tianjian’s expression turned ugly, and he glared fiercely at the person who asked, “Say it one more time, I’m not that close with Lan Feng! I was used by him too!”

Some were indifferent to his outburst, but others were wary of the powerful Fang Family backing Fang Tianjian.

“Alright, Qu Tian didn’t mean to bring that up, what are you so anxious about?” Jiang Lingsu chided with a frown.

Fang Tianjian gave a cold laugh and turned to leave.

After he had left, someone couldn’t help but mutter, “What’s he being so arrogant for?”

“Hey, give him some slack. I heard that when the Investigation Team took him in, Old Fang had a conflict with them and got roughed up. If it wasn’t for Lord Fang stepping in, he might have lost a layer of skin… he’s probably holding a grudge now.”

“But it’s not like we forced him to associate with Lan Feng…”

The crowd left the training field, continuing their conversation.

The noise outside was too far for Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang to care about.

At this moment, neither of the two sparring could afford to be distracted.

About half an hour later, even though Tang Huoyang had used his powers, he was already exhausted.

Sitting on the ground, he looked at the still energetic and sweating Pei Jinye and couldn’t help but say, “You didn’t eat some kind of sacred root today, did you? Your vitality is too fierce…”

Pei Jinye was currently spending thousands of dollars a day on cultivating his vitality.

“Want to hang out tonight? Lan Ranran will be there too,” Tang Huoyang suggested after taking a shower and changing into new clothes.

Pei Jinye looked puzzled, “Who’s Lan Ranran?”

Tang Huoyang was stunned.

“Man, you really have no interest in her… Lan Ranran is the girl who was chatting with you before. Curly hair…”

Pei Jinye showed no interest in recalling, “Not going tonight, still need to practice the mental method.”

Tang Huoyang opened his mouth, then smiled wryly, “Chaotically, your dedication scares me. You sure you won’t go?”

“Not going.”

“How about I take you to the Bathing Fire Palace for a soak in the evening?”

“… Definitely next time.”

“… It seems you’ve really lost interest in girls. I’m feeling kind of worried.”

Pei Jinye responded with a finger.

Tang Huoyang laughed and drove off alone.

Pei Jinye stood at the door.

He seemed to be admiring the flowers at the corner of the wall.

“This is a calla lily, the bloom opens into a boat shape, hidden among the unfurled green leaves, very pure… Do you also like to study flowers?”

An unexpected voice came from behind him.

Pei Jinye casually retracted his finger without a sound.

At that moment, a voice in his mind announced, [Proficiency +100%].
