Chapter 326: Bloom

Words : 1998 Updated : Oct 5th, 2025

The Processing Bureau's convoy drove towards the location of the incident at the martial arts hall, with the Armed patrol vehicle Chen Chuan was in following behind. Sun Rao seemed to receive some news at this moment. After listening for a while, he said to Chen Chuan : "It's wrapped up over there." Chen Chuan realized he was talking about the Swordfish Gang and Elephant Gang's shootout and asked, "What was the result?" Sun Rao sneered and said, "They were lucky. Their personal Security guard was very powerful and managed to bring them out intact even in that kind of shootout. But that might not be a good thing. Getting away with it this time will only encourage them, and they'll definitely do it again next time, but that's none of our business." Chen Chuan nodded slightly. From the information Captain Li had revealed, the bureau had been keeping an eye on them, intentionally shuffling them around to give Wei Wusheng an opportunity to make a move. It was originally a good plan, and mostly successful, but they misjudged Wei Wusheng's Strength, leading to the subsequent failure. It was said that the two Third-Limit Martial Artist both had injuries to varying degrees, so the Processing Bureau members didn't dare to chase him, fearing they'd be ambushed and killed by Wei Wusheng if they were caught alone. But was the Processing Bureau really evaluating him solely based on Wei Wusheng's previous Strength? Probably not. It was just that Wei Wusheng's Strength was likely even higher than anticipated, maybe... He looked outside, thinking that after killing those two people, Strength had improved again. The convoy soon arrived at the next incident location. The martial arts hall wasn't as devastated as the street they had seen earlier. The only casualty was Zhe Rong , who had simply collapsed while walking. People nearby didn't even notice an attack; some thought she had been ambushed during the earlier exchange. It wasn't until they discovered her neck had been broken that they realized a master had been at work. Captain Li went up to inspect, taking a long time to compare Field data and power exertion methods. He finally confirmed it was Wei Wusheng who did it. Despite being mentally prepared, they still felt a sense of frustration. After confirming the result, the remaining matters were left to the City Patrol. Captain Li's team discussed it with the bureau, glanced at Chen Chuan and the others, nodded repeatedly, and then withdrew. The bureau informed Sun Rao to take his team back to continue their duty, and this busy day finally ended at six o'clock. By this time, the sky had already darkened, and various neon lights on the roadside and high-rise buildings flickered. In the distant night sky, a huge Ferris Wheel slowly rotated like a ring of fire. Sun Rao said at this moment, "It's almost time to change shifts. Someone will be responsible for duty at night; we're not needed. Chen junior, how about we grab a bite to eat? I know a good Deer Ribs Hut nearby." Chen Chuan had no objections. The patrol car turned around and, after about ten minutes, stopped in a prosperous district filled with shops featuring the cuisine of various Outer Ocean islands. Sun Rao led him into a shop with the words "Feng's Deer" on its light box. After going inside and sitting down, he skillfully ordered scallops, lobster, sea crab, fresh fish slices, and also the signature dish, grilled venison on a stone slab. The usual drink with these dishes was wine, but since both of them were Martial Artist , they didn't drink alcohol and ordered two glasses of lemonade instead. Soon, the ordered food was brought up one after another. Under the bright light, the white flesh of the scallops sprinkled with minced garlic, the bright red lobster with lettuce, and the golden sea crab with its tightly joined pincers and legs all looked especially tempting. The signature dish was served with a heated stone slab, sliced venison, and side dishes of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and sauces. Sun Rao picked up a thick slice of venison and seared it on the stone slab. As it sizzled, he flipped it over when the color changed slightly, and then, amidst the overflowing aroma, picked it up, dipped it in sauce, and put it in his mouth. Chen Chuan hadn't eaten here before. He picked up his chopsticks, followed Sun Rao's method to cook both sides of the venison slices, dipped them in sauce, and ate them. He immediately felt the fresh, sweet, and tender texture, full of moisture and with a unique fragrance. It warmed his stomach, and was indeed quite good. While they were feasting, people were constantly monitoring them through Boundary Token and Boundary Point everywhere. These were Resonator arranged by the Processing Bureau. In fact, this had been going on since they started their duty during the day. Besides Zhe Rong and Tong Daguang , Chen Chuan was also a possible target of Wei Wusheng , so these Resonator were paying close attention to their situation. However, from day to night, Wei Wusheng didn't seem to be coming for Chen Chuan . "This Chen student is said to have fought with Wei Wusheng . Why isn't Wei Wusheng coming for him? Is he not confident, or is he afraid to attack our Processing Bureau?" "Both are possible. Hey, do you think if this Chen student had helped during the day, we could have captured Wei Wusheng ? But it's said that he needs to take medicine beforehand..." "They're eating so deliciously, and we haven't eaten anything yet!" "I have a few Nutrition Paste here. Let's have those first." First, there was the sound of tearing paper, and then the dry swallowing sound. After the meal, Chen Chuan and Sun Rao came out and returned to the car. The Armed patrol vehicle driver drove Chen Chuan all the way back to Mysterious Palace Tower, and only left after seeing him enter the Building. At this point, the Resonator who were responsible for monitoring finally relaxed completely. After returning to his dormitory by elevator, Chen Chuan washed up. Since Wei Wusheng shouldn't be showing up anytime soon, and he didn't need to be on duty tomorrow, he did some breathing exercises and then sat on the sofa to watch Marginal Channel. Today's incident was a big deal because Wei Wusheng killed two targets in a row, and even though the Processing Bureau had set up a situation, he still escaped. Therefore, there were discussions about this everywhere. Sёarch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Many people analyzed the incident and believed that Wei Wusheng "s precise killing of targets must have been coordinated by a large company, and they believed it was the Ferris Wheel Corporation located in Luminous Dew District. But some people objected, because Tong Daguang was a member of the Swordfish Gang, and everyone knew the Swordfish Gang was supported by the Ferris Wheel Corporation. Why would he kill his own people? But many people felt that this was exactly the problem. What did a small leader mean to the Ferris Wheel Corporation? Using the death of a small leader to clear suspicion was simply too worthwhile. Chen Chuan thought about it. Ferris Wheel might actually be a small player, because the Gong Family, the overseas royal family, was one of the main investors behind Ferris Wheel. And Gong Zhanyi , an important member of the Gong Family, had died at the hands of Wei Wusheng . They even believed that Wei Wusheng had taken something important from them. This time, the Ferris Wheel Corporation didn't cause any trouble and even provided clear assistance, indicating that they also wanted to catch Wei Wusheng . But then he thought that although the Ferris Wheel Corporation wanted to catch Wei Wusheng , they might not want to see the Processing Bureau take him away. Although they couldn't sabotage openly, they might cause trouble in secret. If that was the case, Wei Wusheng might be sniped by the Ferris Wheel Corporation when he escaped. As he was thinking, he looked at these people and found that they were talking about him. "Did you know that Wei Wusheng originally wanted to kill everyone on the ship that day, but he was stopped by someone? This delayed him for a while, and the cruise ship Security guard forces rushed in to save most of the people. I don't know who this person is." "The only one who can fight Wei Wusheng is a Third Limit master. That's unlikely, right? Even if there is such a person, it can only be Du Geng ." "Yes, Du Geng is the most likely!" A group of people echoed below. Chen Chuan looked at Du Geng , who was ranked highest on the current betting list and was considered the last person Wei Wusheng would kill. He recalled that this person didn't seem special. Mainly because none of these people lasted a single move in his hands, so the impression was not very deep. As for Wei Wusheng's pattern of targeting... He had a guess in his mind. He judged that Wei Wusheng was likely ranking people based on their future threat level and Potential, but this Potential wasn't from high to low, but from low to high. For example, the first martial arts hall owner to be killed. Although this person had good Strength, he was old and had almost lost the possibility of entering the Third Limit. Some of the Martial Artist after him, despite varying ages, all felt like they were hard to improve on, the kind of people who had lost their drive. However, the recent targets were different, but compared to those at the bottom of the betting list, what they obviously lacked was Potential. Most people might kill strong enemies first, but this person seemed to want to leave those who could grow until later. If that was the case, then he, who had fought Wei Wusheng at that time, would be the last to be targeted. But this was just his personal idea, even just a feeling. There was currently no evidence to prove it, and even if he said it, it probably couldn't be verified. However, as Wei Wusheng was improving, so was he. He thought that his Senses had become more and more acute recently. Coincidentally, he hadn't taken this month's Precious Paste yet, so he planned to go to Cao Guiqi tomorrow and talk about his condition. After considering, he finished browsing some valuable discussions, and then went back to his bedroom to rest. The next morning, he arrived at Mo Tie Mountain early and, after meeting Cao Guiqi , told him about the strange changes in his body. Cao Guiqi asked him a few questions and then had Uncle Ding bring out the "Zhujue Yinlong" again and placed it in front of him. Chen Chuan followed the previous method and focused his Thought on the plant. This time, unlike the last time, he only focused for a moment before feeling like he had touched something. Immediately, he saw the white branches of the plant spreading outward in rings, and the colorful petals blooming in layers, with strands of white silver filaments floating upward. The entire plant began to sparkle, like the divine light behind a deity statue in a temple, and those silver filaments floated in the air, making people unable to help but follow them with their eyes. After about seven or eight minutes, the faint light suddenly scattered, and strands of silver silk fell down, leaving only a pile of scattered, withered flower branches on the table.
