Chapter 97: Dragon power fusion, awakening from the dream!
In Wang Kang's eyes, Cheng Ye seemed to see himself two months ago.
I had just passed the assessment and started my internship at the Central Station, and was almost scared to death by the source of infection.
Then he took the initiative to ask Liu Bi for special training. He was so familiar with this process.
But the two are different after all.
From the very beginning, his desire for power far exceeded Wang Kang's.
Moreover, having witnessed terrifying monsters beyond his comprehension, his desire for that kind of power became even stronger.
But what about Wang Kang?
The fire in his eyes seemed more like the frustration of not having enough strength to achieve his goals.
Arrived at the training ground.
Just as Miao Yang was about to step forward to practice with him, Cheng Ye waved his hand and stopped him aside.
"Come on, you attack and I defend!"
"good!"
Both of them came out of the inner city at the same time. Although Cheng Ye looked more than twice as strong as before, Wang Kang did not instinctively feel awe in the face of a strong man.
Especially when he saw this familiar face, he subconsciously recalled the fights they had in the inner city.
At that time, he always had the advantage and was always stronger.
Bang.
Wang Kang threw a straight punch, but Cheng Ye stretched out his palm and firmly wrapped around his fist, instantly dissipating all the force.
"Um?"
Wang Kang's face changed and he wanted to pull his hand back, but he found that Cheng Ye's palm was clamped on him like an iron clamp, motionless.
His heart tightened and he immediately raised his left leg to kick, but as soon as he raised his leg, Cheng Ye suddenly pulled him back and he lost his balance in an instant.
Pop.
The sound of it falling to the ground was particularly harsh.
A hint of astonishment flashed across Wang Kang's eyes, and then more anger surged from the bottom of his heart.
It was the frustration of seeing thugs bullying ordinary people and stealing their happiness coins during the day, but not having the courage to help.
It is the frustration of seeing migrants being surrounded and forced to buy and sell by scavengers, but being unable to enforce justice.
He finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to take action, but was chased and beaten by the thugs, feeling very frustrated.
Yes. It comes from the frustration of being weak!
"Very good, I have sensed your anger!"
"Treat me as your enemy, tear me apart, and kill me, only then can you ascend!"
Cheng Ye was slightly startled when two familiar words came out of his mouth.
Liu Bi’s teaching method may not be as clear and easy to understand as Miao Yang’s, but at a certain moment, it feels like he has revealed all the mysteries.
Wang Kang was indeed aroused and rushed forward like a madman, punching and kicking him.
But just like when he faced Liu Bi, these attacks on Cheng Ye couldn't even break through the most basic defense.
The fist was easily blocked, and the kicking leg was pulled away, causing the person to lose balance.
Every collision is like hitting a solid wall, which only makes you fall harder.
Cheng Ye stood there, not even moving a step, but his eyes gradually became gloomy.
He gradually discovered that Wang Kang was completely different from himself.
Facing the powerful Liu Bi, he always thought about practicing hard and becoming stronger.
Wang Kang's current state is more like a struggle with himself. He is in a state of impotent rage with nowhere to vent, and he is confused as to why he should become stronger.
"stop!"
Cheng Ye gave Wang Kang a gentle push and he sat straight on the ground, gasping for breath with exhaustion all over his body, his chest heaving like a bellows.
"Today is just the first day. I will arrange for you to go to a new place tomorrow."
"You're still missing something, and that's the foundation that can support you to keep going."
The way Liu Bi taught him to find anger was far inferior to the one he arranged for Wang Kang now.
However, the two have different values. Even if he saw those dirty things hidden in the sun with his own eyes like Wang Kang, he would not necessarily feel much anger.
I will only become more aware that I must continue to become stronger, strong enough to leave all this filth far behind, strong enough to no longer have to be entangled with these dirty things.
What Wang Kang needs now is not the explosive power ignited by anger, but the obsession to understand "why to be strong" from the root.
And this is precisely the core of idealism.
"Take a break. After you're done, go practice your shooting skills. You don't need to practice boxing tonight."
Dalong was still standing there, not knowing where to put his hands, his face full of embarrassment.
Especially since he found out that Wang Kang was also a prosecutor, he felt even more at a loss.
"Sir, today..."
"Don't tell me, this is Wang Kang's own path. You can teach him how to practice his marksmanship later."
Cheng Ye waved his hand. "I have new arrangements for tomorrow. Take him to the community for a day of work. Let him swing a sledgehammer and demolish houses. As long as his life is not in danger, leave him alone."
"Huh? Swinging a sledgehammer?"
Dalong was dumbfounded, and a trace of confusion flashed across his rough face.
"I went to the community today and saw that this job is very suitable for him. It can not only train his strength but also temper his spirit."
"By the way, before you take him there, let's take him around a few blocks first so he can get a good feel for the differences between other places and our B-7 area."
"good!"
Dalong could only nod. He had no right to question Cheng Ye's orders, let alone ask why.
But he vaguely felt that Cheng Ye’s training method seemed a bit similar to that of the Pioneer Corps?
Prioritize cultivating a person's hardworking character, and only after that can one cultivate strength and other aspects.
"Prosecutor Cheng, you're getting stronger and stronger."
Miao Yang sat aside and watched the fight, his eyes fixed on Cheng Ye, his tone filled with certainty.
He could naturally see that Cheng Ye's every move and gesture was now so effortless that it was no longer comparable to a few days ago.
"My injury hasn't healed yet, so I can't spar with you for the time being."
Cheng Ye saw through the eagerness in Miao Yang's eyes and quickly spoke up to interrupt this dangerous idea.
Fighting with Wang Kang was nothing, but if he fought with Miao Yang, a master of pregnancy, and if he got new injuries, he had to stay in top shape and not make any mistakes since the checkpoint was about to open.
"I came here today to ask about the four powers. Which one should I practice first?"
"Of course it's Dragon Power." Miao Yang answered without hesitation, "Dragon Power is the most powerful force. It can unlock all other powers. If you can cultivate Dragon Power, it will be of great help in understanding the other three powers."
"good!"
Cheng Ye nodded slightly. He actually already had the rudiments of dragon power, and had originally planned to search for tiger power first.
But since Miao Yang said so, he naturally had to listen to his advice.
The panel flickered. Ever since the two of them became acquainted, Miao Yang's cooperation level had never dropped below 50%.
"I don't know how much cooperation Brother B has."
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Cheng Ye had already clicked to search for Lv2.
The panel flickered for a while, and as expected, it failed.
Two action points are credited.
Without the Inspector's scene, the search probability is the same as marked on the panel, which is a solid 50%.
However, there is still 55% of the charge value, so he is not in a hurry and clicks search again.
The panel suddenly paused, and lines of fonts quickly combined and took shape on it.
Done!
【Miao Yang】
[lv1 skill]: Lock
Level 2 Skills:
Talent: Tiger Tendon (Excellent, slightly increased tendon strength)

[lv3 skill]: Lock
"hiss."
"I didn't expect that even though Director Miao isn't at level 4, this physical bonus is still a statistic oddity."
Cheng Ye looked at the data on the panel and was secretly amazed.
Three excellent-level talent skills, each with its own unique descriptions, reveal their utmost practicality.
If we take the literal meaning, Miao Yang's physique seems to be tailor-made for the battlefield. When others are too old to carry weapons, he can probably still be as active on the front lines as he was in his youth.
The passage of time will not cause Miao Yang's strength to drop sharply. On the contrary, it may be like aged wine, becoming more mellow and powerful due to his experience.
However, this time Cheng Ye did not covet the talent, but directly locked onto Long Li and searched.
【Search successful】
[Civilization Collector has successfully recorded: Dragon Power (lv.2)]
[Similar skills detected, currently being absorbed and integrated.]
[The dragon power prototype and dragon power have been integrated. The dragon power prototype disappears, and the dragon power is slightly amplified.]
"Hey, can it still merge automatically?"
Cheng Ye was a little surprised, and then a burst of joy surged in his heart.
In the martial arts world, even if everyone has cultivated the four powers, there are still obvious differences in their levels.
Just like the twelve tendon gates, breaking the limit is far better than ordinary.
If this fused dragon power is used as equipment, it will definitely be stronger than Miao Yang's dragon power.
Wonderful!
"So, if I have enough energy in the future, I can search for a few more similar skills and continue to stack them?"
Cheng Ye pondered in his heart, but it was just a thought.
If you really have the ability, it would be better to first gather the four powers and improve your realm.
The key is to collect as many Lv1 talents as possible and integrate them, so as to improve the life level and open up more skill columns.
The training is over.
After returning to the clinic, Wang Kang fell asleep immediately, obviously extremely tired.
The relationship between the two is now a little delicate, probably because the companions who came out of the inner city together suddenly became so powerful, which dealt a heavy blow to Wang Kang's self-esteem.
Or maybe I was just feeling depressed all day and didn't have the energy to joke around at night.
Cheng Ye was not surprised. He returned to his room, took a shower, and sat at the head of the bed to equip himself with dragon power.
A subtle warmth instantly spread throughout my body, followed by a familiar feeling of hunger.
He was slightly happy in his heart, but before he could finish drinking the ten packets of nutrient solution in the room, he drank the seventh packet and the feeling of hunger completely disappeared.
"It seems that my current stats have far exceeded Lv2. The bonus from this ordinary skill is indeed no longer noticeable."
"Even the illusion that should have occurred when learning dragon power failed to appear."
Standing up, Cheng Ye lightly threw a punch forward.
A mysterious feeling flowed through the body, the strength in the waist and abdomen stretched naturally along the arms, and the force line was adjusted to be extremely smooth, just making up for the last slight sluggishness in the previous prototype of dragon power.
The fist swept through the air, and although only 50% of the force was used, it brought out a light whistle, just like the roar of a dragon.
Uninstalled Longli and the stagnation reappeared.
After repeatedly experiencing the equipment, Cheng Ye concluded that he would be able to become familiar with Lv2 dragon power in a week at most.
"This progress is fast enough!"
Garcia next door, who was also lying in the medical clinic, probably never thought in his life that he could improve his strength so much.
After turning on the desk lamp, Cheng Ye flipped through the book for a while until he felt tired and fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps because he had been too peaceful in recent days, he fell into a dream, which was rare for him, even though he hadn't dreamed for a long time.
In his dream, he had collected all the extraordinary abilities, and his skill bar had expanded to ten, with each grid filled with Lv5 and Lv6 extraordinary skills.
With a light punch, he can blow up a mountain like Superman, and with a thought, his body can fly freely in the air.
In the eyes of the residents of Happy City, he has become an omnipotent god.
He laughed out loud, but at this moment, a thick black shadow suddenly flew out from the direction of the inner city.
"The city lord is here!"
Someone shouted, and the black shadow suddenly pounced in front of him and grabbed his neck.
Even though he was so strong, he couldn't break free from those hands at all, and the feeling of suffocation surged over him like a tide.
"ah!"
Cheng Ye woke up suddenly and sat up. It was already dawn outside the window.
He raised his hand and touched his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat, and the hair on the back of his neck was still standing up.
The outline of the dark shadow in my mind is lingering, just like the darkness of the night that is about to break. Even though the dawn is right in front of me, the deepest darkness still weighs heavily on my heart.
"Killing the City Lord"
What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.
Cheng Long died, but Chi Dao was brought back as if nothing had happened.
If the ambush was true, compared to the mess Cheng Wu left behind, what Cheng Long left him was probably more deadly.
And all of this was too weird. He thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out the connection.
But one thing is certain.
An Xingfu must be extremely powerful to have been able to sit firmly on the position of city lord for so many years and force the four major factions together without causing any trouble.
"I've been living in peace these past few days, attracting the attention of the elders and receiving investment from the Idealists. Combined with my increased strength and expanded influence, and the Tear of the Horned Starfish, I've unconsciously ignored the dangers of the wasteland."
“Walking into the power struggle at the checkpoint means I’ve caught the attention of the higher-ups.”
"Now, we have to be more careful about every move we make."
Cheng Ye stood by the window, quietly watching the morning sun rise slowly from the horizon.
The suffocating feeling of having his neck strangled in the dream was clearly his subconscious mind warning him not to be carried away by his recent success, otherwise he would most likely end up in tragedy.
It's time to wake up.
Not just a dream.
"There are still four days left. I've always been thinking about the benefits of taking the top position, but I've never seriously considered what will happen if I fail. It's time to calm down and continue to lie low."
Cheng Ye took a deep breath, and the restlessness in his chest gradually subsided. His eyes, which had been "blinded" by power, once again showed a ray of clarity.
For the next four days, he no longer wandered around, but went back and forth to the training ground.
There is only one day left until the checkpoint restarts.
evening.
"Come on, you attack and I defend!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Kang came up with light steps.
He had learned the Blood Dragon Legion's standard fighting style quite well. Although his strength was still insufficient, he had the spirit of a warrior. His punches carried a strength that made him more courageous as he practiced more.
Cheng Ye blocked left and received right, and clearly felt the force coming from the fist, which was more than twice as strong as four days ago.
In terms of systematic teaching, he is not as good as Miao Yang.
In terms of the depth of his realm, he couldn't even see Liu Bi's back.
But when it comes to understanding people's hearts and exploring human nature, both of them are far inferior to him, just like ants compared to a giant.
After taking a hard straight punch, Cheng Ye deliberately took two steps back, steadied himself, and said, "Xiaokang, it's done."
"Hey, Brother Cheng, I beat you back!"
Wang Kang was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, breathing heavily and laughing out loud.
As naive as he was, he had long forgotten the frustration of being suppressed by Cheng Ye four days ago, and forgot the promise he secretly made at that time that he must defeat Cheng Ye.
At this moment, just making Cheng Ye retreat two steps was already a great victory in his eyes!
After all, even someone like Dalong who was at the Embryo Stage could only win with Cheng Ye in a short period of time.
"You already understand why you are fighting, so you can naturally defeat me."
"Really?"
Wang Kang raised his hand and stared blankly at the surface of his fist.
The thin calluses on his fists were no different from a few days ago, and his knuckles were even still red and swollen from training, but the anger in his heart became particularly clear.
It was no longer aimless anger, but the determination to know who to protect and what to block.
"Brother Cheng."
Wang Kang clenched his fists, his eyes shining brighter than the morning sun. "The checkpoints will open tomorrow. I want to go to the South Checkpoint alone and try it out for a day."
"Are you sure?"
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, but did not directly refuse, "Have you remembered everything I told you these days?"
"I remember it all!" Wang Kang nodded vigorously, his tone extremely firm. "How to survive, when to escape, when to call for backup, I remember it all clearly!"
"But even if you do all of that right, you can still get killed."
"I'm not afraid. My father is dead. Now that I'm a prosecutor, I can no longer enter the inner city to see my mother. I didn't take any of the inheritance. I left it all to him. Now I'm alone and it's time for me to do what I want to do."
"Didn't you say you wanted to sing?"
"No, I don't like singing."
Wang Kang stretched his neck and shouted, but when he felt that his momentum wasn't enough, he raised his voice again, "I have more important things to do than singing!"
The sound was so loud that it attracted the attention of several people around the training ground.
Cheng Ye thought he had done his best to train this little brother of his predecessor.
And Wang Kang's growth did not disappoint his expectations.
As someone who has climbed back up step by step from the brink of life and death, Cheng Ye understands better than anyone what Wang Kang needs now.
Just as Liu Bi chose to let him go, now it is time for him to let Wang Kang go.
"good."
Cheng Ye nodded gently, his tone gentle. "If you're scared before eight o'clock tomorrow morning, feel free to come to me. I'll report to the checkpoint and give you another day to adjust."
"After my last day at North Station, I will go to South Station to accompany you through your first duty cycle."
"Um!"
Wang Kang nodded vigorously, and for some reason, his eyes suddenly felt slightly hot.
He turned his head away, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed back the sob that was about to come to his mouth.
After all, he and Cheng Ye were no longer the children in the inner city who would hug each other, cry, and sing together.
Now they are inspectors and shoulder heavy responsibilities!
Even if they were unprepared and were standing on the street singing with guitars three months ago, this is the reality, just like the sudden wave of infection, which does not leave anyone time to prepare.
Because this is not the glamorous world of old-time magazines.
This is the wasteland.
It is the end of the world where people eat each other!
