Chapter 109: Strange!

As if infected by the murderous atmosphere, the entire group quickly fell silent as they finished up the food.

Bei Feng transferred 50,000 yuan to Mystic Three right after lunch as traveling expenses.

Mystic One was extremely reluctant to leave. To be exact, she was reluctant about leaving the cute little fox behind. But ultimately, she still followed Mystic Two and Mystic Three out.

After the three Mystics left, the old mansion once again became empty and quiet again. Only Bai Xiang, the little fox and the two little wolfdogs were left to accompany Bei Feng.

"Ah, doesn't this feel like the time when I just returned to the countryside? Somehow, I'm in an even worse situation now... at least I still had a few tens of thousand yuan in savings when I came back the first time. But now, perhaps all my money added together is only around 2-3 thousand yuan!"

Bei Feng rubbed his chin as he surveyed the empty yard. It seemed that the more steps he tried to take forward, the further back he'd end up. It seemed like it was time to start earning money again...

As the saying goes, money is a man's courage! And Bei Feng was exactly one of those guys who hopelessly pursue money.

As long as the earth continued to revolve around the sun, money was something that nobody would ever have enough of!

"Reservations are open for tomorrow. Price per table is 3,200 yuan. Eight tables will be opened this time," Bei Feng sent.

"It's still best to earn some money first before talking about anything else. At the very least, the wallet needs to be fattened up slightly first..." Bei Feng mumbled to himself as he looked at the chat.

Within Qingcheng, the base camp of the Qing Gang, the highest ranked members of the syndicate were gathered.

"Brother Dong, those Bei Feng Guards guys are growing at quite a ferocious pace these days. Should we suppress them a bit?"

A bare-chested man who was wearing nothing but his underwear propped one leg onto the chair and snarled as he looked at a middle-aged man across him.

The middle-aged man had a refined look about him; snow-white sideburns ran all the way down to his well-trimmed beard. His person emanated a calm and refined aura, like that of a scholar.

If he were to walk about on the streets, others would certainly take him to be someone like a teacher. But this seemingly refined and righteous-looking man was actually one of the two gangster lords of the underground society!

Xie Dong who was reading a book looked up unconcernedly, "Do you still need me to teach you about what to do in case of something as minor as this? Send someone to liaise with them first. If they refuse to join us, well... let's just say that I don't want to see these Bei Feng Guards fellows still in my Qingcheng tomorrow."

"Brother Dong, it's unclear where those country bumpkins appeared from, but their nine generals are all people with extraordinary skills! Every single one of them can easily fight one versus ten. I fear..."

The underwear man paused slightly before revealing all the information he had gathered.

Xie Dong finally became serious and put down his book. A slight smile appeared on his face as he sneered. "Are you afraid that those guys have some kind of formidable backer? Don't forget, this is Qingcheng! Even if a tiger came, it would have to lie down obediently in front of me!

Go. If they can't be used by me, then they should be destroyed. Just as you said, those people are a threat to us just by being here. How can an outsider be allowed to sleep beside my bed?!"

A dominating look of confidence flashed past Xie Dong's face. This was a confidence gained through shedding the blood of countless people over a few decades!

"Apart from that, our old rivals are behaving in a rather unsettled manner as of late. Tell our brothers to be more alert. If they so much as stretch a hand past the line, chop it off immediately!"

"Understood!"

Everyone in the room were people who had followed Xie Dong for many years and built this organization up together with him. Right now, their eyes were all blazing with excitement!

Qingcheng was a large city, yet it was also very small... it was simply too small to accommodate more than one large gang!

The group of old men quickly dispersed from the villa and passed down Xie Dong's instructions.

Gao Xin had an unsightly look on his face as he exited the mansion. The person responsible for liaising with the Bei Feng Guards was him. As for everyone else, they had already left to enjoy themselves with wine and women long ago.

"Hmph! Bunch of old fogies! I'll definitely climb over your wrinkly heads one of these days!" Gao Xin spat with hatred.

All these years, the contributions he had made should have been enough to allow himself to obtain a high position, valued and used by the boss for great things. But because of his lack of qualifications, the higher ups had repeatedly blocked him from advancing. [1]

All the hard and bitter work was done by him. But apart from enjoying themselves, what else did those old fogies know to do?!

Gao Xin felt that the core of the Qing Gang had already turned rotten. The higher ranked members only cared about pocketing money and having fun.

"If I can bring those Bei Feng Guards' nine generals under my personal command, it's not entirely impossible for me to snatch the seat when its time to select a new head for the gang in a few years time!"

With his mood greatly lifted, Gao Xin quickly returned and gathered his men in preparation to head over to the base of the Bei Feng Guards.

Meanwhile, Bei Feng, with the help of the modified Minor Illumination Breathing Technique's movement set as well as the support of the large amount of nutritious Variant Giant Salamander meat, had achieved an earth-shaking transformation of his body within the short span of a few days!

His vigorous metabolism was from tens to a hundred times faster than a regular person's!

The current appearance of Bei Feng was already a far cry from a few days ago, when he seemed to be so frail as to be unable to withstand a slightly stronger gust of wind. Right now, he could even be considered as elaborately packaged!

Even his height had somehow increased by a few centimeters through sheer will. His hair had also been growing like weeds, and was now so long that he could swing it to the back of his head with a light swish, like the models in the shampoo commercials. This was actually a result of the keratoprotein in his body growing too quickly.

Whenever his body cells split off, the old keraprotein cells would turn into material to accelerate the growth of his hair.

"Luckily, it's only the hair on my head that's growing fast... if the hair on my body was to grow at such an extreme rate, wouldn't I turn into a monkey or even Big Foot?" Bei Feng ran his fingers through the luscious hair on his back which had appeared in a single night.

"Meep!"

Seeing Bei Feng's interesting poses, the little fox also sat up with interest. It hopped off Bei Feng's shoulders and began to mimic his actions.

Bei Feng's face was red and constipated as he struggled to resist the pressure of unknown origins. All the blood and Qi in his body halted, as if they were being concentrated together. Thereafter, he was smashed heavily into the ground.

"Meep!"

The little fox also followed Bei Feng's actions, flopping face first into the dirt dramatically, its four limbs and tongue stiffly held straight out.

Bei Feng was unable to endure the pressure, and was plastered onto the ground. The blood in his body raced violently as it was pressured to its limits, bringing a great force with it. His blood vessels also began to be strengthened by the process!

Even the tiny capillaries were being forcefully opened as the vibrant blood surged through it, washing and unclogging any impurities with it and excreting it through his skin.

A strange redness appeared on Bei Feng's body, and his body began heating up dramatically. In no time, a sizzling sound could be heard as faint steam rose off his skin. Numerous grain-sized drops of

a dark-red liquid began to be expelled forth from his skin.

Bei Feng looked on in shock. This was the first time something like this had happened! "Looks like I've somehow created something incredible!"

Many things grow in the garden that were never sown there. He had originally only intended to create a martial technique. But somehow, a body tempering technique had appeared!

With even the tiny capillaries free of impurities, his blood flow would be smoother and stronger!

At the same time, an undetectable amount of energy had also seeped into Bei Feng's body, strengthening his bones.

The training also improved Bei Feng's offensive strength and speed. One must understand that the current quality of his body was already very high! Ordinary body tempering techniques would be completely useless to him!

With the quality of his body, things like push ups and sit-ups couldn't be trained with 'counts' and 'sets' anymore. Instead, he would have to base it around the amount of hours per set.

But now, Be Feng could actually feel his already powerful body improving further! Although it was only a negligible amount of improvement, it still brought Bei Feng great delight!

With how strong his body was right now, even a Blood Origin Fruit would not be of much use to him!

How many blood vessels and capillaries does a human body have? Over a hundred billion!

If strung together in a line, its length could reach over a few hundred thousand kilometers! That was enough to wound the earth a few times!

Just a few tens of blood vessels being unclogged had resulted in such an effect. Then, what would happen if all the blood vessels and capillaries in his body were unclogged?!

Bei Feng only made a rough guess in his mind, and immediately closed his mouth in shock. Those numbers were truly too terrifying!

[1] TL/N: That's why Asian mums always yell about the importance of studying hard! It's all about getting that certificate these days! You want to be a gangster? Fine. But how can you be a successful modern-day gangster without a degree?! (Alright, that's a joke... the author probably means other kinds of qualifications... =D)
