Zhu Chengwu slowly put down his weapon, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Boss, how is it? The amplification effect probably isn't that great. I really don't understand why Professor Ye wanted to include this Japanese system."
A man in tight-fitting clothes asked.
When questioned by his subordinates, Zhu Chengwu shook his head and said...
"It's not that simple, but the amplification effect is indeed not as satisfactory as expected."
"This samurai sword is already among the most powerful in Japan. The only sword that can rival it is the legendary demon sword. However, it is still uncertain whether Japan actually possesses a demon sword."
The young man next to him adjusted his glasses and then said expressionlessly.
"A legendary sword?"
Zhu Chengwu brandished his weapon forcefully a few times, shaking his head as he spoke.
"Don't underestimate Japan's system. As for whether there are demon swords in Japan, they definitely are. They're just very well hidden."
After saying that, Zhu Chengwu unconsciously used more force in his hands.

The hilt of the knife was instantly crushed into a piece.
"We're still too weak. I originally thought that the famous swords of Japan could become weapons for our Dragon Group, but now it seems that was just wishful thinking."
Zhu Chengwu shook his head in disappointment.
"Yes, now the members of the Dragon Group who have reached the Transformation Realm have all abandoned weapon combat and chosen hand-to-hand combat. Even the technological swords developed by the Research Department are still too weak against Transformation Realm cultivators."
The bespectacled young man recounted all the information in detail.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengwu revealed a disdainful smile.
"The research department is only kept going by Professor Ye; the research capabilities of the other researchers are simply too weak."
“Recently, some researchers in the research department rejected some of the academicians we sent over.”
The bespectacled young man continued speaking.
These words made Zhu Chengwu's eyes narrow instantly, and then he looked at his intelligence chief with a questioning gaze.
"It was Ishibashi who refused."
"Okay, I understand. Then we don't need to send the person over yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chengwu waved his hand dismissively, clearly bored.
Zhu Chengwu of the research department really didn't take them seriously, but Shi Qiao's appearance was completely different. After all, everyone knew that Ye Yi was behind Shi Qiao, so it was very likely that this also represented Ye Yi's thoughts.
Therefore, Zhu Chengwu had to be very careful when doing this.
In fact, Zhu Chengwu was very dissatisfied with the development of the research department in other aspects, particularly regarding the appointment of some academicians as research fellows.
Zhu Chengwu was particularly annoyed by the issue of energy intake.
Once a martial arts master reaches the level of "Hua Jin" (化劲), their energy requirements become enormous.
However, they still can only obtain energy by eating, so no martial arts master spends time eating.
Previously, some martial arts masters had hoped that the research department could invent some high-energy foods or medicines to supplement their energy intake.
However, what seemed like a simple matter to outsiders proved to be a long time coming for the research department to produce results.
This led some people to question the capabilities of the research department.
Zhu Chengwu was among them.
Because Zhu Chengwu knew that in the future, the Dragon Kingdom would definitely enter the realm of extraordinary nations.
At this time, the demand for energy will increase, and the main way for people to obtain energy is by eating.
Therefore, food shortages will definitely occur in the Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, using high-potency drugs is absolutely still an urgent matter.
However, Ye Yi is currently stuck in the bottleneck of the third-generation enhancement potion and cannot get out of it.
Therefore, no one wanted to make things difficult for Ye Yi.
However, the third-generation enhancement potion, although comparable to the Chinese martial arts' "Transformation of Strength" technique, is highly anticipated by everyone.
Because Ye Yi was talking about the special abilities that the third-generation enhancement potion could produce.
Currently, there are over a thousand second-generation enhanced humans within the Dragon Group.
These people already account for one-third of the Dragon Group's total superhuman strength, so everyone is paying close attention to Ye Yi's actions.
They didn't want Ye Yi to waste time researching simple things.
That's why we're in such an awkward situation now.
After Zhu Chengwu led the bespectacled youth out of the secret room, they immediately headed towards the Dragon Group's canteen.
Because Zhu Chengwu was about to start eating again.
Zhu Chengwu is now a top master in the realm of martial arts.
Therefore, the energy requirement is also very high.
Although one can go without food for several days after reaching the Transformation Realm, at this point, there is no way to make any progress in the level of martial arts.
In this new era, if your strength doesn't improve, then it's a form of regression.
Therefore, Zhu Chengwu must maintain sufficient energy in his body.
As soon as Zhu Chengwu entered the canteen, he saw a group of people wolfing down the food on the table, which consisted of things like compressed biscuits and compressed meat.
They don't look very appetizing, but these people eat with great relish.
It makes people's appetites whetted.
Seeing this, Zhu Chengwu shook his head helplessly, then walked to the food dispensing window and said.
"Three beef set meals, two of which are grade three and one is grade two."
Before long, three portions of food were served to Zhu Chengwu and his two companions.
The three of them picked up their food and found a corner to sit down and eat.
"Boss, I'm about to throw up from all this stuff. When will the energy bars from science fiction novels appear, especially the kind where one bar is equivalent to three meals?"
The well-dressed man wolfed down his food while making sarcastic remarks.
"It's available right now."
Zhu Chengwu said expressionlessly.
"Boss, you know that those energy bars are barely enough to replenish the energy of ordinary people. They're still too useless for us martial artists."
"Then eat a few more."
Zhu Chengwu remained expressionless as he spoke.
"Well, never mind, our Dragon Group's cafeteria is pretty good."
The man in the tight-fitting clothes chuckled.
The three of them then resumed eating in silence, wolfing down their food as usual, but their eyes revealed impatience.
Because every time I want to practice martial arts, I need to have a big meal before I dare to practice.
Even so, problems will arise if the cultivation time is too long, so food will be needed again.
Therefore, everyone nowadays greatly desires energy potions rich in energy.
However, the Dragon Group's research department is not up to par.
When Ye Yi woke up and arrived at the cafeteria, he was shocked by what he saw: everyone in the cafeteria was wolfing down their food.
Like a starving ghost, half-dead from hunger.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yi understood that although spiritual energy had now appeared throughout the world.
However, for these martial arts masters, it is still too little, as they can obtain energy through food.
However, this method is very outdated, which led to this situation.
"Professor Ye."
Upon seeing Ye Yi's arrival, these people stopped eating and greeted him.
Ye Yi chuckled and nodded in response.
After taking the items, Ye Yi saw Zhu Chengwu greeting him.
He immediately walked over to Zhu Chengwu's table.
"Old Zhu, what's wrong?"
Ye Yi and Shi Qiao sat down opposite Zhu Chengwu and the other two.
Zhu Chengwu glanced at the stone bridge, then shook his head and said.
"As our strength increases, our energy needs also increase. As a result, even experts at the Transformation Realm currently waste half of their cultivation time on eating. So I wanted to ask you if there is any way to solve this problem."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yi first glanced at the stone bridge beside him, then spoke softly.
"Okay, I can put aside the third-generation enhancement potion I have on hand and deal with the energy issue first."
As soon as Ye Yi said this, Zhu Chengwu immediately sensed something was wrong.
Because behind him, several pairs of fierce eyes suddenly appeared, as if saying that if Zhu Chengwu dared to agree, they would tear him to pieces.
Zhu Chengwu chuckled at this.
"No rush, you should deal with the third-generation enhancement potion first. As for the energy, no rush."
After saying "no rush" twice, Zhu Chengwu finally felt the many gazes behind him disappear.
I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Zhu Chengwu suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, Ye Yi couldn't help but find it amusing, but he didn't point it out and continued speaking.
"Okay, then please arrange for some people to come and help out in our research department. We are indeed short-staffed in our research department."
Ye Yi's kindness made Zhu Chengwu somewhat lost in thought. He first glanced at the stone bridge, which seemed to remain expressionless, as if it hadn't heard or seen anything.
He instantly realized that Ishibashi's previous decision to refuse others from joining the research department was his own idea, and he hadn't told Ye Yi about it.
Upon realizing this, Zhu Chengwu immediately understood something.
However, Zhu Chengwu didn't say anything more, because he knew that Ye Yi's words represented Shi Qiao's apology.
Zhu Chengwu could no longer use this excuse to talk about Shiqiao.
This was actually Ye Yi giving face to the leader of the Dragon Group, since in the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Chengwu was the top leader of the Dragon Group.
So Zhu Chengwu said with a smile.
"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for someone to go there as soon as possible."
Seeing that Zhu Chengwu had accepted his apology, Ye Yi smiled happily.
Then he quickly finished the food in front of him and took his leave.
Shiqiao, of course, followed Ye Yi closely, never leaving his side.
After Ye Yi and his companion left, Zhu Chengwu spoke to the man in the tight-fitting clothes beside him.
"Boss, do you think Professor Ye is a superhuman? If so, why is he eating so little? If not, then who is the one who discovered all of this?"
"Shut up."
Zhu Chengwu, who had been smiling, suddenly turned cold and reprimanded the man.
Clearly, the man's question was taboo.
"Go cultivate after you finish eating."
Zhu Chengwu's initially good mood vanished instantly. He quickly finished his food and got up to leave.
The man in the tight-fitting clothes looked at the bespectacled young man beside him, clearly somewhat at a loss.
The young man adjusted his glasses and then spoke softly.
"Don't ask this question again. This is not something we young people can afford to ask."
After finishing his food, he patted him on the shoulder and left.
The man in the tight-fitting clothes was left with a head full of question marks.
Back in the lab, Ye Yi didn't choose to continue his experiments. Instead, he pointed to the trees he had obtained on Wudang Mountain and spoke to the stone bridge.
"When you want to cultivate in the future, scrape some wood shavings from this tree, put them in the secret room, and burn them. This will ensure that you have enough energy."
"Ah." Ishibashi was somewhat surprised, because he had not expected that this tree would have such a powerful use.
"Don't tell anyone. This spirit wood is running low. Just scrape a tiny bit each time; about one milligram is enough for a master of internal energy to cultivate for an hour. So scrape only what you need. Don't scrape too much. Also, remember to keep an eye on whoever uses this wood shavings; make sure no one takes it out of the area."
Ye Yi gave the order in a calm tone.
"Yes, I understand. I will keep a close eye on things here myself."
"Okay, if you want to cultivate, you can try it first. I'm going to do the experiment now."
"good."
After seeing Ye Yi enter the experiment, Shi Qiao found a small incense burner and gently scraped some wood shavings from a tree. He poured the shavings into the burner, and as soon as they burned, he instantly felt a surge of excitement coursing through every cell of his body.
Shi Qiao immediately resumed his cultivation.
In the training room, Ishibashi was hitting the sandbag in front of him with all his might.
It's as if only in this way can one make all the muscles in their body feel satisfied.
An hour passed quickly.
But when the incense burner stopped emitting smoke, Shiqiao suddenly felt a complete loss of strength.
To be precise, the muscles have returned to their state they were in an hour ago.
Upon realizing this, Ishibashi looked at the incense burner in front of him with a burning desire.
However, Ishibashi quickly calmed down.
He slowly walked out of the training ground and gave instructions to the guard team.
"From now on, install all kinds of cameras on that tree, the kind that cover every angle. Also, someone needs to patrol that area every half hour, understand?"
Ishibashi's words left them somewhat puzzled, but as Ishibashi's bodyguards, they still trusted him completely.
Of course, many people also felt confused.
Seeing the confusion on these people's faces, Ishibashi sighed and said.
"This is something Professor Ye instructed us to do. This tree might be an important tool for our future cultivation, allowing us to overcome the problem of insufficient energy during cultivation. By the way, Zhu Chengwu will be sending a group of people into my research department later. Remember, make sure they don't touch this tree."
"Yes, understood. We will absolutely not let them touch it."
After hearing what Shiqiao said, the bodyguards' eyes lit up.
As protectors of Ye Yi, none of them are simple in their current strength.
Even the outermost bodyguards possess the strength of a second-generation enhanced human, and the vast majority of the core members have the strength of a Transformation Realm expert.
So when he heard Ishibashi say that, he was immediately filled with excitement.
