Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups-Chapter 361 - 239_2

Lord Bao heard this and frowned slightly, his face full of doubt:

"The person you’re talking about, you don’t even know their precise origins. Are they really that strong?"

"Lord Bao, I believe that big brother can truly handle it."

Xiao Bei, who had been quietly listening on the side, suddenly interjected: freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Uncle Wolf’s leg injury was healed with his help."

Lord Bao’s gaze involuntarily followed Xiao Bei’s words and landed on Black Wolf’s right leg.

Black Wolf, seeing this, immediately stood up.

His eyes sharpened as he took a deep breath, his thigh muscles instantly tautened, and then he kicked out like lightning.

This kick was as swift as a gust of wind, tracing a faint shadow in the air, the gust lifting a stack of playing cards left on the table and sending them flying, scattering in a swirl and lingering in the air without falling.

Looking at Black Wolf again, he landed steadily on one foot, his body motionless, as if rooted to the spot.

This move not only demonstrated his fierce leg techniques and great strength but also was the best proof of his nearly complete recovery.

"That night, we encountered a master, took a hard fall in our operation, and after escaping from the manor, we returned to the hotel and happened to meet that young man."

Black Wolf said while regaining his stance:

"My leg was severely injured at the time, the bone was broken and misplaced, but he immediately stabilized it for me. The subsequent healing speed was several times faster than using medication, almost matching when I use my Beastification Ability. Isn’t that miraculous?"

Lord Bao’s eyes brightened as he listened, nodding slightly.

Such a skill would be invaluable on the battlefield, crucially saving lives and ensuring continued combat capability, avoiding personnel loss due to injury.

But then turning the thought around, he shook his head again, curling his lip:

"Having such healing Special Ability is undoubtedly great, but what we lack most now is solid combat power.

"With just a few of us, if we face a stronger team, we’re just like vegetables on a plate, and having an extra support member, we’ll have to take care of them, ending up with a liability instead."

"Don’t underestimate him."

Black Wolf’s expression turned solemn, raising his voice a few pitches:

"A few days ago, I encountered him while tracking Fire Bear’s group on Mist Mountain."

"At the time, Fire Bear brought along two subordinates, and the three of them had guns pointed at him, the barrels almost touching his face, yet he remained calm and collected, subduing all of them in a flash just before they could fire, knocking them unconscious on the ground."

"The entire process took less than a second, in a short few meters, even bullets couldn’t hit him."

"Lord Bao, how many times have you seen such skills and speed?"

Hearing this, the fat on Lord Bao’s face involuntarily twitched again, he sharply inhaled.

He’s tangled with Fire Bear before, knowing that one-on-one, it’s impossible to subdue him easily.

Yet, that person could take down the entire Fire Bear group in one second. The power disparity here was like an adult overpowering a child, it was downright crushing.

If I went up against him, I’d probably only receive a beating, and even if Black Wolf transformed and gave it his all, victory wouldn’t be guaranteed.

Xiao Bei, listening on the side, displayed a look of awe and couldn’t help muttering:

"No wonder when I pointed a gun at him, he wasn’t fazed at all. That calmness in his eyes, it’s something I still remember."

"Back then, I was a bit flustered myself, wondering how he could be so composed, and now it seems he indeed has true skills."

Recalling having dared to confront such a top-notch master, Xiao Bei grew more excited, the expectation in his eyes shining all the more brightly:

"Uncle, if that big brother is willing to help, can we turn the tables?"

Black Wolf looked at the naive-faced Xiao Bei and smiled gently, then turned to his partner sitting opposite:

"And the most important thing is, the time left for us is running short."

"According to the information we’ve received, February 25th is most likely when the Golden Benba Bottle will be sent to the auction. By then, the people from the International Shadow Auction will take over, and unless someone intends to confront them head-on, everyone will have to give up."

Saying this, Black Wolf’s eyes suddenly became sharp, his pupils faintly glimmering with a dark green light.

"Therefore, tomorrow or the day after, we must make a choice: either exit completely and admit defeat, or take another risky shot and seize the Golden Benba Bottle before the auction."

After listening to Black Wolf’s analysis, Lord Bao sighed softly, his plump body leaning back, resting on the sofa.

He tapped his fingers on the armrest, pondering for a while, then finally nodded:

"Alright, I trust you this time, and I’m willing to take this risk."

"But speaking of which, how do you plan to convince such a master? It’s possible he’s already a member of another team and wouldn’t even consider us."

Black Wolf, with a bit of confidence, explained unhurriedly:

"From my observations over the past two days, and from the customer information at the front desk, he should just be a tourist on vacation here, curious about Mist Mountain but hasn’t ventured there."

"Anyway, we’ll make contact and probe him first, there’s no harm in trying."

Lord Bao sat up straight, then raised a critical question:

"How do you plan to discuss the issue of profit distribution with him? This sort of thing needs to be clarified in advance, otherwise, internal strife would be troublesome later."

Black Wolf didn’t respond immediately but stood, slowly walking to the window to gaze at the dark night outside.

The city’s lights flickered in the distance, much like their unpredictable fate at the moment.

After a moment, he spoke with a determined tone:

"I believe, for a master like him, as long as the benefits we offer are enticing enough, there’s no worry he won’t be tempted. After all, no one goes against their interests in this world."

"Moreover—"

Black Wolf paused, a unique glint flashed in his eyes, then he continued:

"Wolves seek companions not just for power and food, but guided by a mysterious bond. I have a gut feeling that he is a lead wolf worth following and trusting, guiding us through our predicament."

Lord Bao and Xiao Bei were both stunned, not understanding the meaning behind his words.

Black Wolf did not speak again, silently staring out the window.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the deep night, seeing the figure in which he placed his hopes.

..................

Dawn softly broke.

A thin mist flowed through the forest like a veil, adding a touch of dreamy beauty to the tranquil world.

From a distant temple, the sound of chanting echoed faintly, like a Buddhist sound from a far-off fairyland, accentuating the serene and peaceful atmosphere.

Fang Cheng resembled a reclusive hermit, sitting cross-legged on a large stone, smoothed by time, at the heart of the woods.

His upper body sat upright, legs crossed, hands naturally placed on his knees, palms up.

As if he were like those monks, he was engaging in his own "morning meditation," welcoming the vigorous vitality flowing through the mountain forest.

His eyes were gently closed, his face serene, like a deep, undisturbed lake, completely isolating the external noise and disturbances.

Meanwhile, the clear air in the forest, rich with the fragrance of plants and the earthy scent, seeped into his pores with each breath, like an exceedingly gentle cleansing.

Each inhalation was a deep engagement with nature;

Each exhalation expelled the world’s distractions, making his mind clearer and more ethereal.

Time seemed to stand still here, with only the scattered light and shadows sifting through the branches, quietly shifting upon him.

After a long time, Fang Cheng’s thick eyelashes quivered slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.

Between the opening and closing of his eyes, there seemed to be a twinkle of starlight flashing by, making them particularly bright and spirited.

In front of him, a pale blue translucent screen appeared in the air.

Fang Cheng slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, whispering to himself:

"Seems my thoughts weren’t off, the results of cultivation are indeed better than before."
