How much of your strength remains now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glanced at the other restlessly rubbing priests and said sarcastically:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the True Thought Society is waning in talent, just a bunch of good-for-nothings. Why not simply join our organization? With your strength, entering the board would be no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Hongxin was silent, his body faintly emitting a peculiar aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he burst forward, sprinting towards Luo Lie in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Lie reacted incredibly fast, instinctively waving his hands to create a defensive Telekinesis Wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within just 0.05 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Hongxin dove forward, covering a distance of over ten meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his arm muscles bulged, tearing apart his clothes to reveal dark-blue skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A punch landed on the Telekinesis Wall, silently sending ripples of air out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s ears buzzed from the shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Withstanding the heavy hit, Luo Lie was forced to take half a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their leader taking action, the others quickly followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pursuer Team Members immediately raised their guns and began shooting at Zheng Hongxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Members of the True Thought Society also swiftly charged at their intruding enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle erupted like a powder keg igniting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confronting the bullets, Zheng Hongxin weaved and bobbed, turning around to punch an Elite Hunter causing his chest to cave in and send him flying backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he was saying with his actions, if you dare hurt my people, I will kill yours in retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This readiness to fight without a second word suggested that Zheng Hongxin was possibly very hot-tempered in his youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the bullets did not hit their target, Luo Lie immediately commanded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone clear out, let me handle him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his eyes emitted a deep blue light, locking onto the swiftly moving target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tremendously powerful force field then enveloped the area, like a cage continuously compressing towards the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the air around him begin to solidify, Zheng Hongxin abruptly stopped, saying coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m only old, not dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, his muscles expanded further, and his hands and feet grew incredibly thick, his dark blue skin even began showing scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He radiated a hazardous aura, as if unleashing a long-suppressed power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, breaking free from the force field’s constraints like a bullet fired off, \"whoosh,\" he charged at Luo Lie with the speed of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring it on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Lie’s pupils rapidly narrowed, focusing all his Telekinesis to manipulate the force field to defend himself while counterattacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although surprised, he quickly regained his footing and his desire for battle surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Determined to measure his strength against this reputed vice-chairman of the True Thought Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men ignored the sounds of combat from their subordinates around them, intently focusing on their most dangerous opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could take down their adversary, all problems would be resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the whole cave descended into chaos unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Truth Stele standing on the altar began to display a new visual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed a dark, silent sea with gentle ripples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the view extended deeper, there were faint blue points of light twinkling like stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...............\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gunshot pierced the night sky, immediately drowned out by the roaring wind and rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several bodies lay on the rocking fishing boat, blood profusely flowing out, spreading across the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Kehai shouted sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven’t you thought it through yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chengjun looked at him, raised his gun, and pressed it against the temple of a collapsed True Thought Society member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, another \"bang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered as the bullet hit the target’s temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Kehai was so angry he couldn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chengjun’s crazed demeanor left him no time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him raise the gun again, seemingly choosing his next target, Feng Kehai hurriedly agreed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll cooperate with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Chengjun immediately smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good thinking, collaboration benefits everyone, I’m not inherently a murderer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s do this, the Ancient Relics we haul in later, let’s split them seventy-thirty, I take seventy and you thirty, it’s very fair and reasonable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he turned friendly and patted Feng Kehai on the shoulder, discussing the forthcoming underwater fishing operations.\u003C\u002Fp>",943,"2026-05-29T15:13:17.897Z","2026-06-01T04:29:34.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e9cab825f556038d55ea1548efc7321dae7cf14d86dd38a2f95841aee775a04","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-183","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-181",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
