I am also acting under orders. Just pretend I don't exist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Feng Chen turned to leave. Seeing this, I wasn't about to let him go. I dashed forward and blocked his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing me block his way, Feng Chen looked displeased: \"What? You want to make a move?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't speak, but rushed straight at him and threw a punch. Feng Chen reacted quickly and blocked it immediately. We quickly began to grapple. This guy’s combat power was extremely high, and more importantly, his combat experience was ridiculously high. Every time I tried a move, he could react quickly and dodge. This guy’s strength must have been honed through his own training, and it was only through constant fighting that he developed such combat awareness—it was a completely different concept from those who took drugs. I couldn't gain the slightest advantage in his hands, and I even felt that if he really wanted to fight me to the death, it was hard to say who would be the victor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Chen jumped to the side and said to me, \"I think we should stop. There’s no result in continuing to fight, and I believe you know that too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't speak, but I had to admit that Feng Chen was right; there would be no result if we continued like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Feng Chen shrugged and said, \"Fine, since you know that, I won't waste my breath. I'm leaving!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not allowed to leave. State your purpose!\" I hurriedly blocked his path again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing my attitude, Feng Chen looked very helpless and said, \"Fine, fine, fine. I'll tell you. I am under orders to investigate the people behind the strengthening potion. I am following you to protect you. Rest assured, I have no malice toward you. If I wanted to cause you trouble, I would have done it long ago; I wouldn't have waited until now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Strengthening potion? What department are you from? Official or what? What is your goal?\" I looked at Feng Chen in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I cannot answer that. We all have non-disclosure agreements, and our missions are classified. So, I apologize. If there are no other questions, I'm leaving!\" After Feng Chen finished speaking, he turned and left in a hurry, as if I were a plague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I didn't chase after him this time because I knew I wouldn't get any other answers. I didn't know where this guy came from, but it seemed he wouldn't do anything to me for the time being, and he had no malice toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was worth rejoicing about was that some forces were starting to pay attention to the strengthening potion. Although I didn't know if they were government officials, at least someone paying attention was a good thing. If the matter blew up, it would definitely threaten Li Hong. Once Li Hong’s information was exposed or known by multiple parties, it would definitely be very bad for him. As long as something was disadvantageous to Li Hong, it was advantageous to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current situation required infiltrating Li Hong’s circle through Liu Shuang. But since Liu Shuang held such hatred for me, it was unlikely he would listen to my words or believe me. I would probably have to start with Liu Shuang’s father, the Dean of Students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived at the school and found the Dean of Students. When he saw me, he was startled and hurriedly poured me a cup of tea, saying, \"Student Yang, I don't know what brings you to me today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From previous incidents, the Dean of Students knew I wasn't someone to be trifled with, so he was quite respectful toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is bad news, very bad news. Although I know you might not be able to accept it, you will have to know sooner or later, and not telling you now wouldn't be good for you either!\" I thought for a moment, took a sip of water, and said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing my serious expression, the Dean of Students was surprised, not knowing what could be so serious, and hurriedly asked, \"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s mainly about your son. You must have noticed these past two days that your son has suddenly become very strong, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I know. I asked him about it, and he said he’s been exercising lately and apprenticed under a master, so I didn't doubt it much. What’s wrong? Is there a problem with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There must be a reason for his sudden increase in strength. Apprenticing and exercising are long-term accumulations; it’s impossible to become this strong overnight. I suspect he may have taken some banned drugs, and these drugs can cause great harm to the body, even shortening one's physical functions and lifespan. So, I suggest you talk to your son and confirm the specific situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Banned drugs? That’s impossible, how could my son take such things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you should ask your son more. After all, this matter is quite serious. If he doesn't admit it, you can take him to the hospital for a check-up. A physical examination should be able to reveal it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing my words, the Dean of Students looked suspicious; clearly, he still didn't quite believe it. I knew that such a situation was indeed unbelievable, but judging by his current state, he was likely having doubts in his heart, otherwise, he would have turned against me long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood up and left the Dean’s office. I wasn't entirely sure about what I had said to the Dean of Students regarding the strengthening potion destroying physical functions and whether a hospital could detect it. That remained unverified, as no one had ever tested it, but I personally felt that a hospital should be able to see the state of physical functions. After all, the current medical system is much better than before, so it should be detectable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dean of Students sat in his office, his brow furrowed deeply, still thinking about what I had said. Although it was outrageous, Liu Shuang’s recent performance had indeed exceeded the scope of normal human understanding. It was very strange for someone to suddenly become so strong. He decided to ask his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dean of Students found Liu Shuang in the classroom. Liu Shuang had been very smug lately. Upon entering the office, he said directly to his father, \"Dad, why are you looking for me? Hurry up, I have things to do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Liu Shuang, the Dean of Students hesitated but still said, \"Shuang, you’ve been so strong lately, what’s going on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What could be going on? I told you, I apprenticed under a master and have been exercising!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that true? I don't believe it. Just apprenticing makes you that strong? Have you been taking any strange drugs lately? Don't go around eating random things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who did you hear that from? Who’s talking nonsense? Me, taking drugs? How is that possible!\" Liu Shuang was stunned, looking at his father in disbelief. He couldn't believe this was coming from his father’s mouth, and he couldn't believe his father knew about the potion.\u003C\u002Fp>",1196,"2026-06-11T10:32:36.211Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b47e93517a325f12eae75664173b4e310783e90c3dfcc7967a34aa20b6cfc005","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-103","rise-of-the-overlord-chapter-101",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-of-the-overlord-cover.jpg"]
