Nearly all of them would end up in prison!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Old Madam Ma considered herself clever, and she and some of the women in the family were relatively “clean,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were not the ones who managed the family businesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all the people who actually ran the Li family businesses were arrested,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then the Li family would collapse!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never imagined the other side would be this ruthless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were trying to drive the Li family to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, crying and screaming was useless. Old Madam Ma and the others were forcibly dragged out of the Li family and taken back to the Law Enforcement Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at Jinshi Forge, when the neighbors saw Yang Suying and the others escorted back by several military vehicles, they were all dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had guessed that Li Mu now had some influence, but they had never imagined he was this formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Chenfeng arrived soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yourong and the others first thanked Auntie Lin from across the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they kept Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Chenfeng at the forge for the whole afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after learning that Lu Chenfeng’s arm had been injured by Li Mu, Yang Suying insisted on personally preparing a full table of good dishes to entertain them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the dinner table, the thing everyone was most curious about was naturally how Li Mu had obtained the rank of Junior Wolf Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they really wanted to know was what kind of merit he had earned in such a short time\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to be promoted to Junior Wolf Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Li Mu truly could not avoid it anymore, so he had no choice but to recount what he had experienced over the past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he concealed the part where he lost consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not want Yang Suying to be unable to bear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jiaqi and Chen Jiafeng had already completely begun worshipping Li Mu as their idol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They drank until after ten at night before host and guests alike were fully satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Chenfeng were sent away by their driver, while Chen Jinshi and Yang Yourong had both drunk a little too much as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his dizzy mother go back to her room to rest, Li Mu returned to his own room too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found himself thinking that he ought to arrange a place in the Military Residential District for his mother and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current rank, his mother and his aunt’s family all counted as military family members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, they still did not qualify to move into the Military Residential District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having rank alone was not enough for Li Mu. He also had to hold an actual military post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he had a post, the Military Residential District could provide one free residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the standard and location of that residence would correspond to the level of the military post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thought made Li Mu remember the materials Wang Longcheng had given him yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the documents out of his Storage Ring, Li Mu began reading them carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he read, the more confused he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These materials were actually classified investigative records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contents were records from the past ten years of people whose talents had mutated after a talent transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were around a dozen files in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, one of them recorded a case where, after an A-Grade Talent holder and an E-Grade Talent holder exchanged talents,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the E-Grade Talent had gained some strange additional functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another case where, after a D-Grade Talent holder and an S-Grade Talent holder exchanged talents, the D-Grade Talent began to mutate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it upgraded into a C-Grade Talent, although it was still a life-related talent, it was nonetheless astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after flipping through all a dozen or so files, Li Mu found that these mutated talents had only gained some odd special traits, without becoming dramatically stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had Wang Longcheng given him these things?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought about it for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, all at once, he caught hold of a line of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Wang Longcheng’s ability, even he had only managed to uncover around a dozen such records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant cases like this were indeed extremely rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every year, there were countless people transferring talents!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in ten whole years, only a little over a dozen cases of mutation after transfer had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even then, the mutated abilities had not grown much stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Li Mu had told Wang Longcheng that his Immobilization Art and transformation ability had both come from talent mutation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Wang Longcheng had wanted to tell him was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that words alone would not be enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That explanation could fool ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the higher Li Mu climbed, those who ought to be suspicious would still be suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Longcheng had never believed his lie at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was willing to protect him, and had even warned him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Mu wanted to conceal the abnormality of his strength, then he had to create documentary evidence that could withstand scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then would he be able to block all future suspicion in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then could he transition smoothly and naturally into being seen as a “genius.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, one day, with an extremely abnormal F-Grade Talent, he would display overwhelming strength in front of certain high-level figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if someone asked about it, and he simply answered, “My talent mutated,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then if any of those big shots happened to be his enemies, who knew whether he would be heavily cultivated or dragged away to become a lab specimen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to turn something traceless into something traceable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that thought settled in his mind, cold sweat broke out all over Li Mu’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the first person to grow suspicious of him had been Wang Longcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only question was how he was supposed to prove it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over again and again, Li Mu felt he ought to go have his talent tested one more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe that would give him some angle to work with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it happened, he needed to buy some medicinal herb seeds tomorrow and cultivate his Field of Blessings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could go test his talent while he was at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had thought it through, Li Mu put the materials away, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Li Mu spent nearly all the tens of thousands he had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bought a huge pile of medicinal herb seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he headed straight for the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent testing was an extremely energy-intensive national event of great importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every half year, it was held only once nationwide, and anyone who had turned eighteen could participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those who had already awakened their talents and merely wanted to retest them, that did not require nearly so much energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it still cost a fair amount of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyss-Suppressing Army also had institutions for this kind of testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Li Mu arrived at the testing facility, there were not many people there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, very few people who had already awakened a talent came back for another test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless, of course, they needed some sort of talent certification for a special reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Li Mu showed his identity, the staff promptly and eagerly led him into an observation room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spacious, brightly lit observation room had glass walls on three sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center stood an enormous energy stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side of the glass, someone was connected to a computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Wolf Guard Li, please place your palm on the energy stone and channel True Qi into it,” one of the staff said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu did as instructed and began slowly feeding True Qi into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side of the glass, the two staff members started chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An eighteen-year-old Junior Wolf Guard. That’s seriously impressive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a pity he has an F-Grade Talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them gestured with his chin toward the file on the computer showing Li Mu’s registered information after awakening his talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know? This guy used to be the young master of a family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He originally awakened an S-Grade Talent, but it was later changed into an F!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other man, annoyed, clicked open the detailed information in Li Mu’s file.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed that Li Mu’s original talent had been S-Grade and was later changed to F-Grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit! That actually happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first man’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why I keep telling you to watch fewer Abyss livestreams and more social news.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Abyss is our lifeblood. There’s already more life-and-death news than we can keep up with. Who has the energy left to care about gossip?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the two of them chatted, the energy stone in the observation room suddenly began to hum and shine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment they saw the color of the energy stone, both men froze on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Mu really had an F-Grade Talent, then the energy stone ought to have glowed purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead, a deep cyan light shot skyward from the stone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the color corresponding to a D-Grade Talent!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the intensity generated by the energy stone was quickly measured as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp mechanical voice echoed throughout the observation room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Talent: Overheavy Strike. Grade: D.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1744,"2026-05-30T10:59:06.731Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","30f80b4704d9da26a8ba587fdad43c556c6522edd5a2ba2d956d6f54e8d851d9","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-67","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-65",99,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--cover.jpg"]
