Yang Shen ignored the girl's anger and slowly lifted the steel uncle up: "I know there must be some misunderstanding here. If you continue to transform, I can't guarantee that the misunderstanding won't get deeper and deeper."
Although the conversation between Uncle Steel and Liang Yueqin was not loud, Yang Shen's hearing was so sharp that he heard it all.
Yang Shen had no idea what was wrong with the steel-clad man who suddenly attacked him.
"Stop...stop, Tingting..." the steel-clad man, who was being lifted up by Yang Shen by the neck, cried out anxiously.
Seeing this, the girl was furious, but because she had just begun her transformation, she had not lost her mind. So she slowly stopped transforming, her body shrank rapidly, her skin and blood vessels returned to their normal color, and the azure light in her eyes disappeared.
"Whoosh!" Yang Shen threw the Steel Uncle directly out.
The girl quickly caught her father and checked his injuries with a worried expression.
"I don't care why you're hiding yourself, I'm not interested in knowing, but I'm not in a good mood right now, and I hope you won't do anything to upset me."
Yang Shen said expressionlessly that he was in a bad mood because the tunnel had been buried by a landslide, which had delayed his trip.
Upon hearing this, the girl was furious, but based on their brief exchange, she could tell that even if she transformed, she might not be a match for that guy.
Most importantly, she discovered that she couldn't see through Yang Shen at all and didn't know what level of superhuman he was.
So she just glared angrily at Yang Shen without saying a word.
"It's a misunderstanding... cough cough, that lady can testify, it really is a misunderstanding..."
The steel-clad man coughed up blood and looked to Liang Yueqin for help, his expression incredibly awkward.
At this moment, Liang Yueqin finally realized what was happening and hurriedly explained, "Brother Yang, this uncle wanted to join us. I told him to find you, but for some reason, he suddenly attacked us."
"...It's a misunderstanding, it really is a misunderstanding."
The steel-clad man blushed with embarrassment: "I thought that lady was trying to get me to pass your test, so..."
Liang Yueqin looked at the steel uncle in surprise, as if to say, 'You really dare to think that way.'
Yang Shen's expression remained unchanged: "So, do you still want to join?"
"I need to think about this carefully. I'm very sorry for the trouble I caused you earlier. You didn't suffer any loss, so consider my injury as your punishment for me."
The steel-clad man gave an awkward smile, pulled the girl back slowly, and thought to himself, "If I had such a powerful daughter, I'd have to be a fool to continue being your lackey."
Yang Shen did not stop the two. After they had walked away, he said to Liang Yueqin, "Be careful and prepare food to eat quickly. I'm going to check the situation ahead."
"Yes, Brother Yang," Liang Yueqin replied respectfully.
Yang Shen nodded slightly, and after confirming that the girl wouldn't cause any trouble, he headed towards the tunnel.
Almost everyone in both teams knew about the brief collision.
The people of Heyang County all felt this was perfectly reasonable; Brother Yang was invincible.
The people of Kaiyang County were completely bewildered. Although their leader had suffered a great loss in the brief clash, they didn't care about it at all.
They were more concerned about Xu Tingting.
In their minds, Uncle Steel's daughter, Xu Tingting, should be a weak girl who couldn't even kill a chicken, a pretty, cute, and adorable mascot. How did she suddenly become so powerful?
Although Liang Yueqin had sealed off the location of the previous battle, the people of Kaiyang County still witnessed Xu Tingting's terrifying speed.
That's something that most people can't do.
Although Xu Tingting hadn't completed her transformation before, the people in the Kaiyang County team could tell that she was preparing to unleash a powerful move, but Yang Shen stopped her.
If it's already this powerful before even unleashing its ultimate move, how powerful will it be after unleashing it?
Meanwhile, Uncle Steel, despite having several broken ribs, was coughing up blood while grinning from ear to ear, complaining, "Tingting, why didn't you say you were so amazing sooner? Now your old man is even thinking of going to be someone else's lackey... Pfft..."
As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Dad, are you alright?" Tingting asked worriedly.
Uncle Steel casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. People in the apocalypse are all tough: "Dad is a level three ability user, this injury won't kill me. But Tingting, why didn't you tell Dad you were so powerful sooner? If I had known my precious daughter was so powerful, what would I have been afraid of the Beast King for?"
The two didn't rush to get in the car. With Tingting there, Uncle Steel wasn't so worried about the mutated creature.
Upon hearing this, the young girl Tingting hesitated and said, "I killed that beast king."
The steel-clad man was stunned for a moment: "That huge commotion two nights ago, you weren't the one who caused it, were you?"
He still remembers that night when a tremendous battle broke out in Kaiyang County.
It was the dead of night, pitch black. Although they couldn't see the battle scene, they could feel that almost the entire Kaiyang County was shaking.
They didn't know the outcome of the battle, only that it lasted a very short time.
The next day, they fled Kaiyang County without any hesitation.
After all, with such a terrifying beast king staying in the county town, wouldn't they just run away and wait to die?
The girl did not answer, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Immediately, Uncle Steel exclaimed excitedly, "So my precious daughter is that amazing! Then why should I rely on anyone else? My precious daughter is my greatest asset!"
"Dad, please don't think like that. My abilities aren't suitable for showing off in front of others," the girl said without hesitation.
