With such strength, he could be put to good use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu pondered for a moment and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking at his style of conduct, perhaps he is a righteous martial artist from the jianghu; he might even have had formal sect training in the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, then what do you think he is seeking? Is it purely for money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze: \"The reward he wanted this time was a Level 3 protective suit; the next time, the reward he wants might be precious elixirs, or even high-quality implants. He goes to the Green Origin Fist Stronghold to fight for money; in the final analysis, what he pursues is strength and realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He dares to ask for a Level 3 protective suit; he’s not afraid of biting off more than he can chew.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze had assisted him for many years and knew very well that this was the smile he wore every time he wanted to kill someone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Gang Leader feeling stingy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hu looked at Zhang Mingze: \"I have always trusted you with matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze immediately straightened his expression: \"Yes, even if this Level 3 protective suit is given away, it will surely come back in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Zhang Mingze waited for Green-Faced Ghost to contact him to claim the reward for this mission, and he was already prepared to continue winning over Green-Faced Ghost to pave the way for future actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Zhang Mingze did not expect was that after killing Feng Zhenshan, Green-Faced Ghost never took the initiative to contact him, seemingly unconcerned about collecting the mission reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is going on? Did something happen to this person? Could he have been caught?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze was suspicious by nature and immediately felt that something had gone wrong with Green-Faced Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days after Feng Zhenshan’s death, Zhang Mingze finally received a call from Green-Faced Ghost:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was delayed by something; I will come to collect my reward in a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, no problem. This Level 3 protective suit has already been prepared for you, sir. You may come to collect it at any time. I look forward to our next cooperation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Zhang Mingze was thoughtful:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was he injured during the operation, and are the injuries severe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this could explain why the other party would delay the face-to-face transaction for a period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he finished talking with Hao Yi that day, Li Fei’s daily training returned to normal, performing strength-holding training and practicing blade techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he performed strength-holding training seven times a day. After taking the Clear-Mind Pill, his aptitude had improved, and the time it took for his Steel Armor implant to absorb and digest the medicinal power had decreased from 150 minutes to 130 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Li Fei could perform more strength-holding training sessions every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, he reduced his sleep time to less than five hours a day, allowing him to reach 9 sessions of strength-holding training daily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a frequency was astonishing; only Li Fei, who possessed the Ten Thousand Blood Bead and did not need to worry about being harmed by drug toxicity, could cultivate in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-frequency strength-holding training not only accelerated the growth of the Steel Armor implant within Li Fei’s body but also allowed the Ten Thousand Blood Bead to absorb a large amount of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he took large amounts of Strength-Dissolving Pills every day, the damage the pills caused to his body became smaller and smaller, and the energy absorbed by the Ten Thousand Blood Bead daily was also constantly decreasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei speculated that this was because his body had developed a drug tolerance, which was why the damage caused by the Strength-Dissolving Pills was becoming less and less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>August 26th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten days had passed since Feng Zhenshan was killed. Although the Inspection Court had been investigating, they had not found any clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten days of high-intensity strength-holding training, the number of times Li Fei could continuously activate his \"Tyrant Body\" with the Steel Armor implant had increased from three to eight, very close to the \"ten times\" standard of the mid-stage Body Breaking realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, the enhancement of the Steel Armor implant also drove a further improvement in Li Fei’s physique; his blood soul count had increased by another 4!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, his Ten Thousand Blood Bead also upgraded once again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level: Level 8, 1%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Souls: 81\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Soul Skills: Blood Rage, Blood Fiend]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Level 7 to Level 8, the blood soul count increased by 14; added to the 4 blood souls brought by the implant enhancement, Li Fei’s total blood volume had now reached an astonishing 81!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgrade of the Ten Thousand Blood Bead was completed in the afternoon. After sensing the upgrade, Li Fei continued to practice blade techniques with Hao Yi with a calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei blocked Hao Yi’s Rolling Thunder style with his blade. This time, he almost perfectly dissipated the force on Hao Yi’s blade edge, then took advantage of the momentum to use the Mountain-Pushing style, stepped forward, and slashed forward with his blade pressed against Hao Yi’s blade edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tearing sound, Li Fei’s blade grazed Hao Yi’s lower abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi retreated in time, and in the end, only his clothes were torn by Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was the first time in all the time he had been practicing blade techniques that Li Fei had managed to strike Hao Yi during a spar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, you have thoroughly mastered these two blade techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile appeared on Hao Yi’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei bowed to Hao Yi:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is because the Master taught well.
