Chapter 276: Compensation

Words : 2043 Updated : Oct 1st, 2025

The medical team that entered the Martial Combat arena examined the unconscious individuals, discovering that in the earlier melee, there were nine fatalities and seventeen seriously injured individuals. Most of the deceased were First Limit Martial Artists, which was a much better outcome than initially feared. A security personnel approached Senior Brother Sun and whispered, "Sir, Gong Family's Gong Zhanyi is seriously injured." Senior Brother Sun instructed, "Have the medical staff try their best to save him." The fact that someone from the Gong Family was attacked and critically injured on the Sea Dragon Company's ship might be a bit troublesome, but since Gong Zhanyi isn't the heir to the Gong Family, this matter can still be resolved. "Also, find a way to use this opportunity to figure out if Wei Wusheng is connected to them. This is very important, and I authorize you to use any means necessary." The security guard captain indicated understanding and added, "We found Wei Wusheng's previous hiding spot. He is very familiar with the ship's layout, especially the place he was hiding, which was a corner for storing goods, generally not frequented by anyone. He wouldn't have known about that place without inside information. Sir, could it be that someone inside the Company…" Senior Brother Sun immediately interrupted him, "Don't say anything without evidence." The security guard captain immediately fell silent. Although Senior Brother Sun stopped him from continuing, he knew in his heart that the security guard captain's deduction wasn't without merit. It certainly seemed like something certain people within the Company would do. It seemed that having him in charge of the "Multi-Eyed" project had touched some people's interests. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "How are those two doing now?" The security guard captain replied, "After taking the drugs, they are recovering. Their condition seems good at the moment." Senior Brother Sun nodded, he signaled for the security guard captain to attend to other matters, and he walked out of the Martial Combat arena. He immediately saw Chen Chuan standing by the ship's railing, holding the Snow Emperor Blade, gazing at the undulating sea under the night sky. Senior Brother Sun walked over to Chen Chuan's side and said, "I've already had the medical team examine them. Your classmates are all fine. I had them injected with a calming agent. If there are no reactions after half an hour, they should be fine." Chen Chuan asked, "Senior Brother Sun, what was that?" Senior Brother Sun replied, "That's a toxin secreted by the Crimson Sea Worm, which can stimulate Third-Limit Martial Artists, boosting their condition…" He explained briefly and then added, "But for most Martial Artists below the Third Limit, it's not a good thing. Those with weak wills are likely to be influenced in their minds." Chen Chuan didn't ask further. Since Senior Brother Sun said so, he would just believe it for the time being. At this moment, Senior Brother Sun looked at him and said sincerely, "Chen Chuan, I checked the records and found that you've recently been applying for Radiant Light Irradiation. This project is heavily invested in and primarily participated in by Sea Dragon. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As a reward and compensation for this incident, I will use my Company authority to grant you an extra three hours of irradiation time each month. This is our sincerity, and I hope you can accept it." Chen Chuan's thoughts turned. Senior Brother Sun's intention of compensation and reward was indeed present, but he probably also hoped that as the only sober person in the entire arena, he wouldn't publicize this matter too widely. He said, "This is indeed what I need, then I won't be polite." Seeing that he was willing to accept, Senior Brother Sun's expression relaxed even further, saying, "Chen Chuan, if you need my help with anything in the future, you can contact me through this method at any time." At this time, Chen Chuan saw that a contact had been added to the contact interface. The avatar was a dragon soaring in the clouds, with a bright light shining down, its body faintly visible. The name behind it was Sun Zhiming. Knowing that this was Senior Brother Sun, he accepted and added him. Then he asked, "Senior Brother Sun, who is that Wei Wusheng?" Senior Brother Sun said, "Wei Wusheng used to be a core member of the Heavens' Forgiveness Gang, but the Heavens' Forgiveness Gang expelled him from the gang not long ago. This person is a martial arts fanatic. He used to challenge any famous martial combat expert he could find, relying on his Iron Body Training Strength Technique to be almost invincible. We are still investigating why he did what he did today." Chen Chuan nodded. This person was indeed very powerful. He rarely encountered someone who could withstand the Snow Emperor Blade with their own body alone. Although he didn't use the Furnace Breathing Technique at the time, he felt that even if he did, this person might still be able to withstand it. There should also be unique methods to deal with such people. After returning, he would continue to train and could also ask Teacher Zheng for advice. He said, "From what he revealed earlier, it seemed like he wanted to fulfill his own thoughts." "Thoughts?" After hearing this, Senior Brother Sun's expression became a bit more solemn, saying, "This information is very important, Chen Chuan, thank you for informing me." At this moment, someone may have contacted him. He touched the Boundary Token and said to Chen Chuan, "Chen Chuan, please excuse me. If there is anything, just contact me directly." After shaking hands with Chen Chuan, he quickened his pace and left. Chen Chuan stood for a while and then walked towards the medical room. Just halfway there, he discovered that the Boundary Token's external communication had also fully recovered. At this time, there was a contact calling. He glanced at it and saw that it was Ni Qianxi, so he connected, and then the latter's voice rang in his ear, "Little Chen, are you on the Rhinoceros Horn Cruise Ship?" Chen Chuan said, "Yes, I am. Secretary Ni is asking about the violent incident that happened on the cruise ship just now? Not only am I here, but I also participated in it personally." "What a coincidence? That saves us a lot of effort." Ni Qianxi said, "Sea Dragon Company has its own security team and wants to handle it themselves, not wanting us to join in, but we have already learned through certain channels that this matter is related to Heavens' Forgiveness Gang's Wei Wusheng. This person has been on the bureau's list for a long time, and whenever Martial Artists are involved in crimes, the Processing Bureau has the right to participate in the investigation. Sea Dragon Company failed to handle this matter well this time, so we will be intervening next. Since you participated in this matter, it will be easy to handle. Find some time to submit a report to the bureau." Chen Chuan said okay. Ni Qianxi said, "Then I won't disturb your holiday." Chen Chuan ended the conversation, walked for a while, entered the medical room, and waited for a while. Pan Xiaode, Tan Zhi, and Qi Huixin woke up one after another. After Pan Xiaode woke up, he immediately asked, "Who won? Who won in the end?" Tan Zhi rubbed his head and said, "It seems like there was no result. I just saw someone go up and smash open the tank. I said, how did we end up lying here?" Qi Huixin rubbed her temples. She didn't seem to remember what happened. Whether it was the effect of the sobering agent or the influence of the toxin, the three of them completely forgot what happened afterwards. In fact, not only them, but everyone who woke up forgot about fighting with others earlier. Their memories only went up to Wei Wusheng rushing out and smashing the aquarium. Chen Chuan said, "To explain it in Senior Brother Sun's words, the water in the aquarium contained toxins emitted by the Crimson Sea Worm. Because the aquarium broke, it leaked outside, so all of us were contaminated by the toxins." "Is that so?" Pan Xiaode said, "Chen Chuan, you woke up faster than all of us." Chen Chuan looked at him, pondering that it seemed out of place that the three of them were unconscious but he wasn't? So he just hmmmed in response. Tan Zhi was a bit more awake at this time. He looked at the Boundary Token and said, "I say, it's almost ten o'clock. The main event of today is gone. I think we should go back to rest early. I still feel a bit dizzy right now." Pan Xiaode was a bit disappointed, "It's a pity that I didn't get to finish watching the duel today. We're going back tomorrow. I don't know if there will be another chance next time." Tan Zhi comforted him, "There will always be a chance." Chen Chuan and them waited for a while longer, seeing that they had almost recovered, and then came out of here and returned to their rooms together. After returning to his room, he washed up, drafted a report, sent it out, and went back to sleep. Senior Brother Sun returned to the main cabin. He called the person in charge of the Multi-Eyed project over and asked him: "That Chen student today, he is just a Second Limit Martial Artist, but he was not affected by the Multi-Eyed's energy field. Hmm, he took medicine beforehand to fight against a Third-Limit Martial Artist. Is this normal?" The person in charge thought for a moment and said, "There are always some special individuals among the crowd. Regardless of whether they are Third Limit or not, people with particularly good physiques may be unaffected. I haven't met this Chen student, but judging from your words, Director, he should be like that. Especially since he took medicine to fight against a Third-Limit Martial Artist, if this will to survive is expressed very strongly, then there is a high possibility of maintaining a certain level of sanity. Although there have been no such examples before, it is theoretically possible." Senior Brother Sun nodded. He then asked, "How is "Multi-Eyed' doing?" The person in charge said, ""Multi-Eyed' is currently very stable, but the two Martial Artists' fighting time was not long, and Multi-Eyed has not been able to collect complete information expression and energy field records. Later, because Wei Wusheng appeared, too much information from other Martial Artists, especially information from lower-level Martial Artists, was mixed into the energy field. This requires us to guide and sort it out, which may take some time to process." Senior Brother Sun said, "Is there a big influence?" The person in charge replied, "No, perhaps even because of Wei Wusheng's participation, we may be able to add another energy field record, it's just not that complete. If there is an opportunity, I hope to collect it completely." Senior Brother Sun said, "Although the Multi-Eyed project is just one project in the Company's big plan, it is an indispensable piece of the puzzle. What happened just now will not affect us. I just spoke to the Company and you can confidently push forward without worrying about other influences." The person in charge took his hand out of his coat pocket, moved the glasses he was wearing, and said, "That's good." Senior Brother Sun patted the railing in front of him and said, "All large companies are now promoting their own projects. For the next era, Sea Dragon Company must be ahead. Next, I will submit a report to the Company to launch "Multi-Eyed's derivative business on the market to further improve our data. Everyone, please prepare."
