On the outskirts of the vast, lush forests in the northern suburbs of Jiang Province.

At this moment, this peaceful place was once again shattered by a group of mysterious men in black. They silently converged from all directions, like ghosts in the night.

As the crowd gradually gathered, the man in black at the head slowly spoke: "Time flies, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. Now we are gathered here again. However, this time is different from the past, because we have successfully obtained the latest research and development drugs from headquarters! As long as we feed these drugs to our carefully raised pets, we can continuously stimulate the enormous energy and potential hidden within them!"

After speaking, he gently opened his palm, and a small, exquisite bottle appeared before everyone's eyes. The bottle was transparent, and inside were crystal-clear red capsules, each emitting a faint but captivating light.

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a small, adorable lizard appeared in his right hand. He carefully placed the vibrant red capsule into the lizard's mouth. In that instant, an astonishing scene unfolded—the lizard, originally only the size of a palm, visibly expanded rapidly! At the same time, a powerful energy surged continuously from the lizard's body, gradually intensifying until it finally reached a relatively stable state.

However, the situation on the other side was completely different. It was also a brand new lizard, but because it hadn't been fed that magical red capsule, although its size had increased, its power and overall aura were significantly weaker than the previous one.

Seeing such a stark contrast, the other men in black around them couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"This...this is simply unbelievable!" someone exclaimed in disbelief.

"My God, just a tiny capsule can cause such a drastic change in the lizard's power!" another person muttered in astonishment.

Just then, the lizard that had swallowed the red capsule began to glow with an eerie red light, its scarlet tongue flicking out from its mouth. Its scales seemed to tremble slightly, emanating a chilling aura. It moved its strong, powerful limbs, step by step, approaching the lizard that hadn't taken the capsule.

On the other side, the lizard that hadn't taken the red capsule appeared unusually tense and terrified. Its body trembled slightly as it cautiously retreated, each step filled with vigilance. Its eyes were fixed on its approaching opponent, seemingly searching for an opportunity to escape.

Suddenly, the lizard that had eaten the red capsule exerted its strength, leaping up like an arrow, its massive jaws snapping shut with lightning speed, and biting down hard on the throat of another lizard! The smaller lizard struggled desperately, trying to break free, but all its efforts were in vain. Soon, its struggles weakened and eventually ceased completely.

Surprisingly, after successfully killing its own kind, the lizard did not attack any other creatures present. It stood silently, its eyes coldly scanning its surroundings, as if awaiting some command.

At this moment, a man in the lead spoke up triumphantly: "You all see this, right? This is our latest research result! With such a powerful biological weapon, it won't be long before Blue Star becomes ours! Tonight, you must bring these things safely into the target area. Then, we will be able to control the entire world!" As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the group immediately knelt down, indicating their absolute obedience to orders.

Inside the factory, Ye Liangchen collapsed to the ground.

Ye Liangchen used the Sword Shadow Without Trace twice tonight, which consumed too much of his supernatural energy.

He felt like his body no longer belonged to him.

"Kid, how did you feel about tonight's training?"

"Sister Xue, I feel like my body is about to fall apart."

Hearing Ye Liangchen's words, Li Xue had no intention of letting him go.

She walked over to Ye Liangchen and pulled him up.

"Get up. Now that your superpower is depleted, it's time to train your body. Do two hundred push-ups first."

"Sister Xue, please let me go."

Li Xue shook her head and lowered her head as she spoke.

"Do you want to do it yourself, or should I add some content for you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangchen immediately made preparations.

In a basement in Jiangxi Province.

There is only one dim chandelier here.

And beneath this chandelier is a fighting ring.

The arena was dilapidated and had many cracks on its surface.

Inside the crack, there were many dried bloodstains.

In the center of the ring, a person stands.

At his feet lay a person lying on the ground.

A group of people stood around the arena.

These people all had different injuries, clearly indicating that they had just finished fighting in the ring.

The burly man in the center of the ring constantly moved around to demonstrate his strength.

At that moment, a man in black walked up, and there was a skull inside his cloak.

He simply gave the man a pill.

"Here you go, this is your reward, it will further improve your health."

Upon hearing this, the man swallowed the pill without hesitation.

"How are you? How do you feel?"

"I feel a powerful energy inside my stomach, circulating throughout my body."

"Very good. Take your time to feel it. This pill will give you unexpected results."

Upon hearing this, the man quickly activated his supernatural energy.

In no time, his muscle definition became even more pronounced.

He slowly threw a punch, and terrifying energy erupted instantly.

Upon seeing this, the man burst into laughter.

“Great, this is power, the power I’ve been longing for.”

"Luo Cheng, this is nothing. As long as you follow me closely, your future will be even more terrifying than you are now."

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng immediately knelt down.

"I, Luo Cheng, will be loyal to the Holy Church for the rest of my life."

"To be forever loyal to the Holy Church."

Those around him immediately knelt on the ground, proclaiming their loyalty.

“Very good, get up. The improved medicine should be taken slowly, but these medicines are limited. From now on, if you want to receive this gift, then what you have to do is complete the medicines of my Holy Church.”

The man in black gestured for the people around him to come closer.

He said a few words to these people.

Those around them were also inspired upon hearing this.

They left quickly.

"Jiang Province belongs to us."
