It was impossible for Qin Fen to know what the God-Demon Body was in the end, so he simply wasn't in a hurry to find out what it was. He placed his attention on the biochemical beast egg after undergoing the level one fusion with his body. He wanted to know what sort of changes were brought about by the biochemical beast egg.
Qin Fen immediately felt his sense of smell, vision, hearing, and all the functions of his body to have an indescribable increase in this instant. Even the surging power was countless times stronger than when he had just ascended to the five-star level.
Qin Fen didn't pressurize his true energy, nor did he need to explode the power within his body. With a shake of his shoulders, the Raging Berserker Tide no longer needed to be prepared like before it could be activated.
Although he didn't use his full strength, the sheets on the bed and the papers in the room were all messed up by the wind from his palm.
Qin Fen clenched his fists tightly. His heart was filled with indescribable excitement and agitation as the power was reflected back into his body.
Just casually using the Raging Berserker Tide was more powerful than the usual turbocharger.
If he used the Raging Berserker Tide at full power, what kind of damage would it cause? It was impossible for Qin Fen to control his excitement. The two weeks of training on the island couldn't even compare to a hundredth of what he had gained today.
"With my current strength, I shouldn't lose even if I were to face a six-star expert." Qin Fen frowned and thought about it seriously, "Seven-star … we will only know after we fight."
Qin Fen lightly executed the Arhat Fist, which he couldn't be more familiar with, to calm the excitement in his heart.
Advancing from a four-star to a five-star was originally just a step across the gulf of the meteor level. However, Qin Fen's two breakthroughs in the five-star level made him stand at the peak of the five-star level the moment he entered the five-star level. If he could find time to consolidate a little, it might not take long before he could directly break through the five-star level and enter the six-star level.
In addition to the increase brought about by the level-one fusion of the biochemical beast, Qin Fen could be said to have risen by two star-levels in a single day. He still needed half a star-level more.
For a martial artist to be able to advance by one star level was already a very joyous thing. Especially for a martial artist who was able to cross the chasm at such a young age and enter the Meteor level, it was even more enviable.
An increase of more than two stars in a day? This kind of speed would probably make many martial artists so ashamed that they would commit suicide.
If it weren't for the restrictions placed on him, Qin Fen really wanted to give Drill Instructor Butcher and Squad Leader Hao a pleasant surprise.
Du Hen didn't summon Qin Fen for the next three days, nor did he let the two of them leave this room. He didn't let them have any contact with the outside world either.
Qin Fen, who had nothing else to do, could only continue to cultivate his Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. He strove to feel the uneven phenomenon of the meridians in his body, strengthening his control over his true energy.
On the morning of the fourth day, Qin Fen received two pieces of news from a servant.
Du Zhanpeng had already been officially determined by the government to have sacrificed his life for the Federation because the rescue efforts were ineffective. The Du Family would be holding a memorial service for him at noon today.
"If you have the time and want to send Du Zhanpeng on his final journey, you can come and take a look."
The servant relayed Du Hen's words to Qin Fen.
The second thing was that Du Peng had already woken up in Zhong Zhou's First Military Hospital. If he wanted to visit him, the Du Family wouldn't stop him.
Walking out of the bedroom where he had been under house arrest for three days, Qin Fen saw Xing Wuyi who had also been under house arrest for three days not far away.
Compared to Qin Fen's spirit, Xing Wuyi's mood had been extremely gloomy these past three days. Aside from cultivating, he had been reading the notes left behind by Du Zhanpeng.
Their eyes met and the two of them subconsciously nodded and walked out of the Du Residence together.
Qin Fen suddenly felt a bit lost as he stood on the street.
Zhong Zhou's Shengjing was the center of Asia's economy, politics, and culture. Qin Fen only knew of its location when he was studying geography. He had never truly stepped into this thousand-year-old city.
"This place is called Houhai." Xing Wuyi raised his eyes to look at the sky. "Where do you want to go?"
Houhai? Qin Fen looked around blankly. So this was Houhai, the place where land was said to be more expensive than gold?
"Let's go see Du Peng first. There are some things I feel he needs to know." Qin Fen's words carried a bit of sadness. "Then let's go see Zhanpeng …."
"So it's like this." Xing Wuyi patted Qin Fen on the shoulder. "Then come with me. I was planning to do the same. There are some things I should help Zhanpeng with. "
Zhong Zhou's First Military Hospital wasn't hard to find. The two arrived at the North Second Ring Road and took a taxi. They soon arrived at the enormous Zhong Zhou's First Military Hospital.
Du Peng's room was a single patient room. Of course, the money wasn't paid by the Du Family. It was paid through the military.
Du Peng was lying on the bed with his eyes closed in rest. He only opened his eyes when he heard the door open. He saw Qin Fen give a light nod.
As for Xing Wuyi, Du Peng acted as if he didn't see him.
Du Peng's body had yet to recover from a gunshot wound near his heart and a palm strike from Du Zhanpeng on the back. His face and lips were a bit pale, but his mental state looked much better.
Qin Fen sat on the nurse's bed. He whispered, "How do you feel?"
Du Peng swept his gaze over Xing Wuyi with great loathing. He said with an ice-cold tone, "My life is tough. I survived a sneak attack."
Xing Wuyi didn't say anything. He just looked at the red metal box in his hand. It was as if he didn't hear Du Peng's ridicule at all.
…
Qin Fen grew silent as well. He thought for a few minutes before saying, "What about true energy? It didn't regress, right? "
"True energy?" A pleased expression appeared on Du Peng's face. "I survived a great disaster. It's like a blessing in disguise. I don't know why, but the true energy within my body seems to have undergone a qualitative change. I clearly suffered serious injuries, but my star-level increased. "
Having said this, Du Peng swept his venomous gaze toward Xing Wuyi once more. His tone carried provocation as he said, "When my body recovers, I will be the master of a certain lackey. When I lose …."
Xing Wuyi slowly raised his head. There was no anger in his eyes. There was only grief. Aside from grief, there were also tears. His eyes pulsed without end, tears that would spill out at any moment.
Du Peng was slightly stunned. He had never seen Xing Wuyi with such an expression before. From his perspective, Xing Wuyi's appearance here wasn't to visit a patient with good intentions. Xing Wuyi had come to demonstrate to him and to convey Du Zhanpeng's threat.
Du Zhanpeng had heavily injured his own comrade for the sake of fighting for merit on the battlefield. If news of this were to get out, it wouldn't do Du Zhanpeng any good.
"What? Have you come to repent? " Du Peng laughed coldly. "Du Zhanpeng knows that he has caused a great disaster. Did he send you to play the sympathy card? Relax. I'm not as despicable as he is. No one else will know about the sneak attack on me. I will defeat him fair and square …. "
Tears were no longer under Xing Wuyi's control. They gushed endlessly from his eyes. He squeezed the red metal box in his hand. This was Du Zhanpeng's birthday present to Du Peng.
Even though Du Zhanpeng was already dead, Xing Wuyi still knew that Du Zhanpeng definitely wouldn't allow him to speak the truth.
"You're right. I have come to negotiate." Xing Wuyi's mouth struggled to contain a sliver of his usual arrogance. He tossed the red metal box in his hand in front of Du Peng as if he were throwing trash. "Young Master Du said that this is your hush money."
Du Peng's thumb and index finger pinched the red metal box. He turned it left and right as he looked at it. His eyes were filled with ridicule. "What is it?"
"A biochemical beast." Xing Wuyi stood up. He looked at Du Peng with his usual condescending gaze. "If you're afraid of death, you don't have to take it."
"Afraid of death?"
Du Peng opened the red metal box. A biochemical beast egg that blossomed with red light quietly lay within. A sliver of understanding suddenly flashed through his doubtful eyes.
"Du Zhanpeng thought of it, right?"
"What?" Xing Wuyi was stunned.
"I said, Du Zhanpeng thought of it, right?" Du Peng turned the metal box. "He wants to use a biochemical beast egg to kill me? He thinks that I can't withstand the fusion of the biochemical beast and can be silenced like this, right? "
Xing Wuyi did his best to maintain the cold smile at the corner of his lips. "Yeah. I even made a bet with Young Master Du. I bet that you wouldn't dare to leave this biochemical beast egg behind and that you wouldn't dare to use it. In the end, Young Master Du thought the same, causing us to lose our bet. "
"Get lost." Du Peng gently waved his arm. "Go back and tell your master that I, Du Peng, will accept this thing."
"Good. Very good. I will pass on the message. "Xing Wuyi turned around and walked toward the door." Qin Fen, I'll wait for you outside. I'll take you on a stroll around Shengjing in a bit. "
The room turned quiet once more. Du Peng continued to turn the metal box. His eyes were filled with ice-cold ridicule. "Does Du Zhanpeng really think that I'm a pig? Did he think that I would fuse with this biochemical beast egg just because he sent something like this to provoke me? Silencing me? Once my body recovers, I won't need the biochemical beast egg to beat you. "
Du Peng casually tossed the metal box onto the bedside table. He revealed a faint smile toward Qin Fen once more. "You didn't bring any fruits when you came to see me?"
Qin Fen didn't reply to Du Peng's joke. He stared blankly at the biochemical beast egg that Du Peng had tossed onto the table like it was trash.
The scene of Du Zhanpeng's departure surfaced once more before Qin Fen's eyes.
Big brother! Even in death, Du Peng still thought about his little brother.
"What's wrong?" Du Peng sensed that something was wrong with Qin Fen's mood.
Qin Fen slowly raised his head to look at Du Peng. Complicated emotions pulsed endlessly in his eyes. After a while, he slowly said, "Du Zhanpeng is dead …."
Du Peng's entire body trembled. He, who was half-lying on the bed, suddenly sat up straight. He stared at Qin Fen in a daze.
"What did you say? Du Zhanpeng is dead? "
"He's dead." Qin Fen slowly said, "He died when he was carrying out the mission that day."
"How is that possible?" Du Peng's gaze shifted to the biochemical beast egg on the table. "This …."
"This should have been given to you by him." Qin Fen slowly nodded. His tone was low as he said, "It's just that he should have prepared this before he died, right?"
"What did you say?" Du Peng didn't dare believe his own ears. "He prepared a biochemical beast egg for me before he died? Could it be that he felt that I was a threat to him and actually prepared to make a move ahead of time? "
Qin Fen just shook his head gently. He didn't respond to Du Zhanpeng's words. Instead, he talked to himself. "Let me tell you a story."
