Li Chen had driven his new car to drop off Zhang Mei and then returned home. His muscles felt tense from the day's events, and he knew that a workout in his training room would do him good.
As he entered the training room, he focused on the task at hand. The room was well-equipped with exercise equipment, mats, and training dummies. Li Chen started with some basic stretches to loosen up. He moved gracefully, his body showing a level of agility as if he had years of discipline and training.
Then, he shifted to a series of rigorous exercises that targeted strength, flexibility, and endurance. His movements were precise, each muscle working in harmony as he pushed himself to his limits. Li Chen knew that to be at the top of his game, he needed to maintain his physical fitness.
But there was more to his training. He began to explore a deeper level, the inner energy that flowed within him. This energy was something he had discovered since the arrival of the God of War in his life. It was the source of his newfound strength, the reason he had become almost superhuman.
As Li Chen continued his training, the voice of the God of War resided in his thoughts. It spoke to him, guiding him in the ways of harnessing this inner energy. They discussed techniques, meditations, and the secrets of power that had been unlocked within him.
"You're doing well, Li Chen. Your control over your inner energy is improving."
"Thanks to your guidance. But why do I have this power, and what's my purpose?"
"You have it because you were chosen. There's a greater purpose for you, but it's still shrouded in mystery. For now, focus on honing your abilities. The path will become clear."
Their conversations flowed seamlessly as Li Chen delved deeper into his training. The room became a sanctuary of self-improvement and self-discovery, as Li Chen worked to unlock the true extent of his newfound abilities, guided by the enigmatic God of War.
Li Chen's training left him invigorated, and he was ready to focus on his financial ventures. He showered and felt refreshed as he prepared for a night of evaluating his trades and financial decisions. With a clear mind and a keen sense for numbers, he meticulously reviewed his portfolio.
As he delved into the world of stocks and investments, he managed to close a substantial profit of 36 million yuan, a testament to his sharp instincts and financial prowess. The figure brought a hint of satisfaction to his face.
Li Chen couldn't help but smirk as he pondered the progress he had made in accumulating wealth. His eyes took on a steely glint as he contemplated his ultimate goal of reaching 100 million yuan. It was a challenge that motivated him daily.
Amid his financial calculations, the voice of the God of War once again intruded into his thoughts. Their exchange was a reminder of the enigmatic presence that had entered his life.
"You know we have company, right?"
"Oh, I know. People who want to deal with me keep increasing since you transmigrated into my body."
"So, you blame me?"
Li Chen chuckled, acknowledging that his newfound abilities came with some peculiar consequences.
"Partly."
"Whatever. Just attend to the person sneaking into your house."
Li Chen's brow furrowed with suspicion as he considered the potential intruder's motives.
"Are they here for the manual?"
"You will know when those kinds of people start coming."
Li Chen closed his laptop, leaving behind the glowing numbers on his screen, and stood up. He was ready to face the unwelcome guest who had ventured into his home.
Li Chen's senses were honed, and he was now fully aware of the intruder's movements within his home. As the mysterious figure silently traversed from one room to another, Li Chen seized the opportunity to have a little fun.
Silently, he dodged the direction in which the intruder was headed, careful not to make any noise. His movements were swift and graceful, a testament to his improved agility and awareness. He reached the living room and settled onto the sofa, crossing his legs and closing his eyes.
It was in this moment of quiet contemplation that Li Chen made a remarkable discovery. The energy that now coursed through him granted him an acute sensitivity to vibrations. Even the softest footfalls of the intruder resonated with clarity in his mind.
Li Chen's face curled into a smirk. This unexpected intruder had inadvertently provided him with an opportunity to further explore the extent of his newfound abilities. As he sat there with his eyes closed, he pondered what else this enigmatic inner energy could empower him to do.
Li Chen's voice held a sense of unwavering confidence, even as his eyes remained closed. The intruder, taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, couldn't help but feel a creeping unease.
Undaunted, the intruder responded, "It doesn't matter. I always complete my tasks. You choose to mess with the wrong people this time"
Li Chen's laughter, a low and eerie sound, filled the room. The intruder couldn't fathom why he seemed so unfazed by the situation, and Li Chen's closed eyes only added to the mystique.
Li Chen's eyes remained closed as he continued, "Messed with the wrong people? Well, my friend, you've certainly walked into an interesting situation tonight. You see, I've been waiting for someone like you."
The intruder was perplexed by Li Chen's calm demeanor and curious words. "Waiting for someone like me? What are you talking about?"
Li Chen finally opened his eyes, revealing a glint of determination within. "I've been preparing for this moment. Testing my abilities and honing my skills. You're the perfect opportunity for me to see just how far I've come."
The intruder's caution grew, and he slowly stepped back, ready to make a quick escape if needed. "You're not making any sense. I'm here for a job."
Li Chen rose from the couch, his every movement exuding confidence. "And you'll have the opportunity to finish that job. Just know that I won't go down without a fight."
The intruder was now thoroughly confused and concerned, unsure of what he had walked into. Li Chen's calm confidence was unsettling, and he was starting to wonder if there was more to this man than met the eye.
As the fight began, Li Chen quickly realized that the intruder was a formidable opponent. The intruder moved with precision, demonstrating a mastery of martial arts techniques. It was clear that this was not a typical adversary.
Li Chen's eyes focused intensely on the intruder's movements. He dodged and parried with a skill that surprised even himself. His body moved with an agility and grace he had never experienced before. It was as though the energy within him was guiding his every move.
The intruder attempted a swift roundhouse kick, which Li Chen expertly evaded. With a swift counterattack, Li Chen's fist connected with the intruder's chest, sending him staggering backward.
The intruder was impressed and said, "You're not just an ordinary guy, are you?"
Li Chen smiled, his eyes gleaming with determination. "You could say I have some tricks up my sleeve."
With that, the fight continued, each movement calculated and precise. Li Chen was testing his newfound abilities, pushing the limits of what he could do. The intruder, too, was forced to adapt, realizing that he was dealing with an opponent who was far from ordinary.
The fight between Li Chen and the intruder was intense and swift. Both men were well-versed in martial arts, but Li Chen's newfound abilities gave him a distinct advantage.
The intruder moved with a certain grace and skill, launching a series of punches and kicks. Li Chen blocked and dodged with precision. It was evident that the intruder was skilled, but Li Chen was faster and stronger.
Li Chen parried one of the intruder's strikes and countered with a powerful punch to the intruder's abdomen. The force of the blow sent the intruder staggering backward, gasping for air. Li Chen didn't let up; he followed with a swift, well-aimed kick that knocked the intruder off his feet.
With a thud, the intruder hit the floor, his eyes wide in shock. It was clear that he had underestimated Li Chen's abilities.
Li Chen stood over the intruder, victorious but not overly aggressive. He extended a hand to help the intruder up, saying, "You shouldn't have underestimated me."
The intruder, still in shock, accepted Li Chen's hand and was pulled to his feet. It was a humbling experience, and he knew he had met someone extraordinary. Li Chen's newfound strength and skills were something the intruder couldn't comprehend.
Standing up, Li Chen looked down at the intruder and asked, "What's your name?" The intruder hesitated for a moment before answering, "My name is Bo Zhuyi." He bowed his head slightly, his face still obscured by the balaclava.
Bo Zhuyi then added, "The 7 Fist technique... where did you learn it?" He spoke with a mix of curiosity and caution, as if he recognized some of Li Chen's moves.
Li Chen feigned confusion and replied, "7 Fist technique? I'm not sure what you're talking about. I was taught by an old master at the orphanage, but I've never heard of a manual like that."
Bo Zhuyi's suspicion lingered, but he decided not to press further. "I see," he said, still keeping his guard up.
Li Chen inquired, "So, who sent you here?"
Bo Zhuyi hesitated, his loyalty to his employer warring with the predicament he found himself in. After a moment, he answered, "I'm sorry, but I can't disclose my employer's name. It's a matter of loyalty and trust.
Li Chen's eyes narrowed as he felt the man's reluctance to reveal more. Without hesitation, he threw a quick punch, landing it on Bo Zhuyi's chest. The intruder crumpled to the floor, clutching his chest in pain. Li Chen's movements had been swift and precise.Li Chen put his foot firmly on Bo Zhuyi's chest, pinning him down. He leaned in and spoke with a stern tone, "You should have been more cooperative from the beginning. Now, start talking."Bo Zhuyi winced in pain but realized he had little choice. He began to divulge more information about his employer
Li Chen, his foot still on Bo Zhuyi's chest, looked down at him with a stern expression. "You're here for revenge, huh?" he said. "For a little slap? Your boss must have quite the temper."
Bo Zhuyi, struggling beneath Li Chen's foot, managed to nod. "I'm just following orders. My master doesn't take insults lightly."
Li Chen's gaze hardened. "You know, revenge is a two-way street," he said. "You come to my house, and I can promise you, it won't end well for you."
Bo Zhuyi's eyes widened in fear, realizing the gravity of the situation. "Please, I don't want any trouble. Just tell me what you want, and I'll do it."
Li Chen removed his foot and stepped back. "All right," he said. "Here's what I want. Tell your master that if I hear you or anyone else is coming after me, there will be consequences."
Bo Zhuyi nodded quickly. "I'll relay your message. We won't bother you again."
"Good," Li Chen said. "Now get out of here before I change my mind."
Bo Zhuyi wasted no time. He quickly got to his feet and, without looking back, hurried out of Li Chen's house.
Li Chen watched him leave, relieved that the situation had been defused without violence. But he knew that the Jiang family wouldn't give up easily, and he had to remain vigilant.
As the door closed behind Bo Zhuyi, Li Chen contemplated the brewing conflict with the Jiangs. He couldn't help but wonder what other challenges lay ahead on his path to success.
