As Yue Jincheng’s expression grew increasingly gloomy, he watched Zhang Yu walk out of the breeding base’s gate, putting his phone in his pocket. A flicker of resolution ignited within Yue Jincheng’s heart. He moved with silent swiftness, swiftly tailing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen!

“With my skills as a proper university graduate, I can swipe something from them right under their noses, guaranteed they won’t even notice a thing!”

Yue Jincheng had reviewed Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s recent exam data, estimating their cultivation to be around the late stage of Qi Refining, comparable to skilled high school seniors!

Impressive enough for Songyang High, but in his eyes, they were just kids!

Especially since he, a graduate in commercial investigation, had mastered stealth, covert ops, theft, and related skills. Dealing with two high schoolers was child’s play!

“Just grab their phones, use the company’s tools to copy the info, and return them before they notice!

“Then I can slowly crack the data and uncover their secrets. Why bother with this clumsy tailing?”

“Two high school brats, should’ve done this long ago.”

Just as Yue Jincheng was about to catch up to Zhang Yu, Si Zhouyu’s expression subtly changed. She followed suit, raising her hand to stop Yue Jincheng!

But facing Si Zhouyu’s move, Yue Jincheng scoffed inwardly: “How can a mere college graduate stop me?”

Seeing Yue Jincheng accelerate again, silently closing in on Zhang Yu, Si Zhouyu cursed inwardly. She abandoned stopping him, instead rushing towards Bai Zhenzhen to cover Yue Jincheng’s actions!

Si Zhouyu sighed inwardly: “Sigh, this kid is too eager to prove himself, acting impulsively!”

“These two high schoolers, Zhang and Bai Zhenzhen, are easy enough to handle, the two of us are more than enough. But you’re ignoring the leader’s orders. Even if you succeed, what good will it do?”

“Sigh, gonna be writing reports to death when we get back!”

At the same time, Yue Jincheng’s right arm blurred into an afterimage. He simultaneously activated six martial arts techniques, combining and unleashing them!

In the blink of an eye, his arm moved at a speed beyond normal human perception, silently reaching towards Zhang Yu’s pocket from behind!

Just as Yue Jincheng made his move, Fuji already warned Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen telepathically: “Careful, someone’s making a move, coming for Zhang Yu!”

Zhang Yu thought: “Oh? Daring to attack directly? Are Ah Zhen and I being underestimated, or is something else going on?”

Bai Zhenzhen thought: “No need to let him succeed. So, Yu-zi will probably counterattack in time, right? What I need to do… is to try my best to entangle the two of them in case they try to escape immediately after failing!”

Just as Yue Jincheng’s lips curled into a smile, his hand about to slip into Zhang Yu’s pocket, he suddenly felt his hand touch something soft and cottony!

But while this cotton was incredibly soft, it emanated a fierce rebounding force!

With the recoil spreading from Yue Jincheng’s fingertips, he saw Zhang Yu surrounded by swirling mist. A vortex of shapeless Cloud Qi had erupted from under his clothes, like clouds enveloping Zhang Yu!

“What?”

Yue Jincheng was slightly stunned: “This kid can sense my actions and blocked my attack!”

At that moment, Yue Jincheng was surprised but not truly frozen. His hesitation stemmed from two conflicting choices in his mind!

“Since I’ve already made a move, might as well just snatch the bag and be done with it. I can get the company to cover it up as a robbery afterward!”

“Or retreat immediately. Since they suffered no losses, the constables won’t bother investigating. They won’t be able to trace it back to me!”

But just then, streams of divine power converged in the sky, transforming into a bolt of lightning that crashed down with a deafening roar!

The heavy rumble of thunder echoed in the heavens, as if to awaken the entire world!

“Thunder Talisman!” Yue Jincheng was startled again, not expecting his target to immediately unleash such a powerful talisman after his attack failed!

“Go!” Si Zhouyu hissed, her whole body shooting out like a dark cloud, immediately attempting to retreat!

A flicker of unwillingness flashed in Yue Jincheng’s eyes, but he knew this was no place to linger. He took a step back, intending to leave as well!

However, at that moment, a series of crackling sounds erupted from Yue Jincheng’s side, and a faint static-like burning sensation prickled his face!

“Where do you think you’re going?” Bai Zhenzhen, wreathed in surging lightning, had charged beside Yue Jincheng amidst the rumbling. Her fingertips, crackling with lightning, carried invisible sword Qi that stabbed towards Yue Jincheng!

Yue Jincheng scoffed, unleashing a punch to shatter the invisible sword Qi. He was about to continue his punch towards her body when he realized Bai Zhenzhen had moved, revealing a large patch of flowers behind her!

Bai Zhenzhen said calmly, “Careful, you’ll have to pay for it!”

Remembering that every plant in this protected area was the Red Tower Company’s property, Yue Jincheng subconsciously stopped his punch!

Because of this sword and these flowers, Yue Jincheng was delayed for a moment!

And that moment was all the time Zhang Yu needed to arrive.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Amidst the deafening roars, Zhang Yu’s cloud Qi transformed into four massive white arms, each wielding the techniques of Limitless Cloud Hand, Imperishable Imprint, Back-Dragon Mountain-Flipping Hand, and Dragon-Elephant Mountain-Crushing Art, slamming towards Yue Jincheng!

At the same time, threads of sharp aura, carrying faint electricity, circled the periphery, constantly targeting Yue Jincheng. It was Bai Zhenzhen, who had temporarily retreated after her initial failed sword strike!

“These two brats!”

Seeing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen ganging up on him, Yue Jincheng’s already agitated and furious mood worsened!

“You really think I’m afraid of you?”

“You want to keep me here? Can you?” Yue Jincheng roared suddenly, his muscles swelling drastically. His originally thin frame ballooned to nearly 2.8 meters!

This was his true battle form. His usual physique was a concealment technique!

The terrifying aura of a university graduate was released, sweeping harshly towards the two high schoolers!

Amidst the popping and cracking sounds, Yue Jincheng resembled an angry Vajra, unleashing fists and palms, instantly shattering the four arms of Qi sent by Zhang Yu!

But the next moment, a lightning-infused sword Qi stabbed towards Yue Jincheng’s back, forcing him to turn around and scatter it!

Just as he dispelled the sword Qi, he heard a “puff” sound!

A bolt of electricity shot out from Bai Zhenzhen’s mouth like an arrow, targeting Yue Jincheng’s right eye!

“Spit?” Seeing this, Yue Jincheng sneered inwardly: “A childish trick. As a proper university student, would I not know this tactic in a real fight?”

With an equally “puff” sound, two streams of spit collided in mid-air, exploding with a “bang” and dissipating into the air!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yu circulated his magical power, once again transforming the shapeless Cloud Qi into four massive arms, slamming towards Yue Jincheng!

Although it had been a long time since Zhang Yu participated in martial arts competitions, his current combat ability had surpassed his former self. Especially through continuous sparring with Bai Zhenzhen and Yu Xinghan, he had gradually discovered the true combat method most suitable for his martial arts!

Initially, Zhang Yu was accustomed to spreading Limitless Cloud Qi all over his body, like a heavy armor protecting him from head to toe, used to defend against opponents’ attacks!

But he soon realized this was a waste of Qi!

After all, scattering 100% of his Qi across his body meant that only 10-20% of it was actually attacked and used to defend. The rest was wasted!

So, Zhang Yu tried to condense Qi at the point of impact just before being hit during sparring with Yu Xinghan and Bai Zhenzhen!

This way, he could use the shapeless Cloud Qi more efficiently, and the defense effect was better!

But Zhang Yu soon realized that this still didn’t allow him to unleash his true potential, those level 10 martial arts techniques!

Finally, Zhang Yu tried to transform the Qi into giant arms, which could not only provide efficient defense but also unleash various martial arts techniques, fully demonstrating the advantages of his martial arts cultivation!

At this moment, Yue Jincheng, fighting Zhang Yu, quickly discovered the secret!

As a graduate of 72nd Xia, Yue Jincheng’s cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Refining. Not only had his Dao Heart, magical power, and physical strength all reached their limits, but he had also cultivated dozens of techniques to level 10!

Every punch and kick he unleashed burst with immense power, enough to send an elite high school student like Song Hailong flying!

But the four Qi arms controlled by Zhang Yu either parried, blocked, guided, shifted, dissipated, or rebounded, using incredibly profound martial arts techniques to withstand Yue Jincheng’s power!

Yue Jincheng felt like he had stepped into a mud pit, being firmly held back by the other party!

But after all, he was a university graduate. Under his full-strength attacks, the Qi arms that Zhang Yu had created quickly shattered and dispersed!

But every time this happened, Bai Zhenzhen, roaming around, would use lightning magic power combined with various venomous sword moves, targeting his vital points, forcing him to first repel Bai Zhenzhen!

And after repelling Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Yu would have already circulated his Qi again, charging at him head-on once more!

Besides this, he had to be careful of Bai Zhenzhen’s electrically charged spit, while Yue Jincheng’s own spit had little effect on Zhang Yu’s Qi or the elusive Bai Zhenzhen!

Feeling like he was being temporarily stalled by the two of them, Yue Jincheng was surprised again: “These two brats hid so much strength during the exams?”

“This level of skill would be enough to rank among the best in the third-year classes even in the top three high schools!”

“And the way they coordinate, one fast and one slow, one Yin and one Yang, one unpredictable and one orthodox, is so seamless!”

Just as Yue Jincheng was marveling, streams of divine power suddenly appeared in the air. The divine power then transformed into lines of text, floating in every corner of the scene, surrounding Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Yue Jincheng!

“Warning, warning.”

“The patrol team is enforcing the law. All individuals are to cease the use of magical power and stop all actions.”

In the distance, Si Zhouyu, who was about to return to help Yue Jincheng retreat, frowned. Watching this scene, she sighed inwardly, “The patrol team arrived too quickly!”

She shook her head helplessly, her whole body fading back into the darkness, disappearing without a trace!
