"The faint hazy light around you, though very faint, cannot be hidden from special eyes."
"You may not have awakened your special powers, but the little one in your belly may be a different story."
The air in the room suddenly became tense, and the temperature seemed to drop several degrees.
Su Wan's heart was pounding and his palms were sweating slightly.
How could he know?! The book didn't introduce Pan Yong, Lei Lao Hu's confidant? When she read it, there was no such confidant at all. Did she overlook the details?
Lu Shiyan exuded a terrifying coldness all over his body: "Your eyes are quite poisonous."
Pan Yong immediately raised his hands, posing as if to say, "Don't get excited, I mean no harm." His face still had a confident expression: "Mr. Lu, don't get angry. My eyes are naturally able to see auras and energy fluctuations that others cannot see."
"The incident with the Hyena Squad may seem like an accident, but it was actually a test that Lei Lao Hu prepared for you all."
Pan Yong paused, "The Hyena Squad is indeed Scorpion's men, but they are becoming more and more arrogant, repeatedly crossing the line and violating the rules of the base. Lei Lao Hu is using you to clean them up, both to test your strength and to scare the tigers away. At the same time, it helps him remove a cancer on the periphery of Scorpion."
"He is very satisfied with your performance."
Lu Shiyan's face was gloomy. He took the small box that Pan Yong pushed over, his knuckles slightly white from exerting force, his eyes like the sharpest ice blades, slicing through Pan Yong's smiling face inch by inch: "Captain Pan's 'information' is indeed frighteningly well-informed."
"How should we accept this 'generous gift'?"
"We need your decision." Pan Yong did not back down, looking directly into Lu Shiyan's deep eyes. "Within three days, Scorpio will formally launch an attack. By then, no matter what choice you make, you will inevitably be dragged into the center of this vortex."
Xiao Han stretched lazily, stretched his muscles, and said frivolously: "This is really a sweet burden. It has become a hot commodity that both sides are fighting for."
"It's not a fight." Pan Yong corrected in a cold voice. "The Hyena Squad was originally an important chess piece that Scorpion had planted outside the base. By eliminating them, you helped Lei Lao Hu remove a major threat, but because of this, you completely offended Scorpion to death."
Su Wan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "So, you have been monitoring us since we entered the base?"
"It's protection, not surveillance." Pan Yong stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on the corner of his clothes. "Think it over carefully. I'll give you three days to think about it. I'll come back and listen to your response."
He walked to the door, paused, turned back, and added, "By the way, on the day you received the settlement mission, you actually met Scorpion, but you may not know him well."
"There will be a large-scale material distribution activity at the base tomorrow, and Scorpion will be there to supervise it personally. You can go and see for yourself what kind of person he is."
"Oh, I almost forgot. Thank you all for your hospitality. I haven't had such a happy meal in a long time." Although he had no shortage of food, he lacked ingredients. This meal was so delicious with all its color, aroma and taste.
Pan Yong left with his entourage, and the heavy iron door closed behind them with a muffled sound.
"What do you think?" Su Wanlu quietly approached Lu Shiyan.
Xiao Han snorted coldly: "This old fox, the olive branch he sent is actually a sharp knife. They want to take advantage of our strength, but they are also afraid that we are too powerful to control."
He paused, stroking his chin, and added thoughtfully: "However, Pan Yong does have some skills. He can see Su Wan's specialness at a glance, and can also roughly understand your strength, Young Master Lu. It's not simple."
Lu Shiyan's eyes were deep and his voice was low: "Pan Yong didn't say everything. They are so eager to win us over, there must be other, deeper purposes."
"The Hyena Squad is Scorpion's men, but they have become Lei Lao Hu's touchstone to test us. I'm afraid this drama is not that simple."
"No matter what conspiracy they have, let's go and see what's going on with the material distribution before making any plans."
After everyone finished their meal, Li Kui went to clean up.
Su Wan picked up the small box of nutritional supplements on the table and turned it over and over to check carefully to see what was inside. When she opened it, she found a sachet inside.
She felt very comfortable smelling this. "Is today's training plan still valid?"
Lu Shiyan stood up and said, "Of course it counts. Let's start right away."
The two of them quickly arrived at the training room. It was a training room converted from the room next door. They rented two more rooms, otherwise there would be no room for so many people.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
Su Wan nodded, took a deep breath and adjusted her state, "Come on"
Lu Shiyan said nothing more, and suddenly moved, almost without warning, and punched Su Wan in the face. Su Wan tilted her head back almost instinctively, and the wind from the fist brushed past her nose.
Before she could stand firm, Lu Shiyan's second blow went straight to her ribs. Su Wan raised her arm to block, but she felt a huge force coming, which made her arm numb, and she took two steps back involuntarily.
"Too slow, and not strong enough."
He did not give her a chance to breathe. His punches, kicks, elbows and knees, each strike was precise and swift, but he stopped just before touching Su Wan's body.
Su Wan needs to mobilize all his attention, capture his movement trajectory, and evade or counterattack in the shortest time possible.
She couldn't keep up with Lu Shiyan's rhythm at all. She would often react hurriedly only when the opponent's attack was already in front of her, and her movements seemed slow and clumsy.
Sweat soon soaked her hair and her breathing became rapid.
“Focus and feel with your body, not just your eyes.”
Su Wan clenched her teeth. She tried not to analyze Lu Shiyan's every move, but to empty her mind and body and rely on her body's instincts.
Her body seemed to have its own consciousness, and she could predictively dodge before Lu Shiyan's attack arrived. She turned sideways to avoid a sweeping leg, and dived to avoid a swinging elbow.
Her movements became more and more smooth, from being clumsy at first to being able to barely keep up later.
Something flashed in Lu Shiyan's eyes, so fast that it was impossible to catch. His attack remained the same, but Su Wan vaguely felt that his speed seemed to have increased a bit, and the angle was even more weird.
Su Wan's learning speed even shocked himself. This was his first time to engage in such high-intensity close-combat reaction training, but his reaction speed was not at all like that of a novice.
She could even feel that a latent power in her body was gradually awakening.
Am I really a martial arts genius?
