Zhang Juetao was shocked. He quickly retracted his gaze, gave Su Chen a perfunctory reply, and hung up.
The nanny van suddenly became extremely quiet. Only the faint sound of the car moving echoed in the empty space. Gun King Huang Ke, with his broad forehead, closed his eyes again, as though he hadn't woken up. However, Zhang Juetao vaguely heard a sigh.
…
Lei Fang returned to his residence, sat on the sofa, and propped his legs on the coffee table.
After resting for a while, he took out his phone and sent Mo Jingting a WeChat message.
"I saw Martial Uncle Lou at Wuyue Club."
Mo Jingting happened to have nothing to do.
She asked curiously, "What's he doing there?"
Lei Fang pressed the voice button and said, "I heard he's borrowing the Polar Lab. “
"Martial Uncle is about to return to the professional martial arts circle. It's normal for him to borrow the Polar Lab to remove hidden dangers and readjust his condition …" Mo Jingting also made a guess.
Lei Fang was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he sighed.
"Sometimes, I really admire Martial Uncle Lou. If I had suffered such a serious injury that took me a year to recover, with all kinds of sequelae and all kinds of media exposing my scars, I might not have been able to take it and would have given up long ago."
If one wanted to truly walk out of this kind of injury, without an extremely strong will and perseverance, it would definitely be impossible!
Mo Jingting laughed. "Don't talk about Martial Uncle like that. Even if he was delayed for a year, he's still a Fourth Pin Dan Stage fighter under the age of 23. He still has seven years to break through to the Physical Invulnerability stage and make the great leap."
She wanted to casually criticize Lei Fang, but she forced herself to hold back.
"Yeah, that's the foundation of a Heavenly Son of the era." Lei Fang sighed. "I wonder how this injury will affect Martial Uncle Lou in the future."
"Even if it does, he can make up for it in a few years … Martial Uncle still has seven years," Mo Jingting answered with uncertainty.
…
In Gun King Huang Ke's villa, Zheng Yu and Qian Qiyue, who were too lazy to go home, were also talking about Lou Cheng.
"Why did he suddenly appear in the guild?" Zheng Yu frowned slightly and muttered.
In the past year, Lou Cheng's figure had almost disappeared from the public eye. Even his Weibo was only posted once every ten days or half a month or even longer. A lot of things were reported by others, giving people a feeling that he was very, very deep and would not appear again. Who would have thought that they would meet him in Wuyue Club all of a sudden!
The baby-faced Qian Qiyue asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you wanted to borrow the polar laboratory?"
"It seems that it won't be long before he returns to the professional martial arts circle …" Zheng Yu nodded slightly.
"Hmm, I wonder how much of his strength he still has …" Qian Qiyue guessed curiously. "It's said that with such a serious injury, there will be long-term sequelae. Even if his body fully recovers, his strength won't be able to return to its peak in a year or so."
Zheng Yu picked up the cup of water and took a sip. She agreed. "Also, being able to play in the Pro League and fully recovering are two different things."
She put down her cup and suddenly said:
"However, Lou Cheng is still very young. He still has plenty of time to solve the follow-up problems and enough years to try to make the great leap. Speaking of which, his chances are greater than mine and yours."
"It can't be helped. Comparisons are odious." Qian Qiyue agreed with his senior sister's judgment. He spread his hands and said self-deprecatingly.
This is the Heavenly son of the era. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse!
Zheng Yu was about to say something else when she suddenly saw a figure standing on the balcony next door from the corner of her eye.
She took a closer look and whispered in shock,
"Master!"
Qian Qiyue followed her gaze and looked out of the window. Sure enough, he saw Gun King Huang Ke standing on the edge of the balcony, almost blending into the darkness as he silently looked into the distance.
"Master, what's wrong?" Qian Qiyue whispered in confusion.
His master always woke up early and went to bed early. At this time, he should have been in bed long ago!
Zheng Yu retracted her gaze, not daring to look again. She shook her head in confusion.
…
In the next twenty days, Lou Cheng went to the Wuyue Club every three to four days to use the Polar Laboratory to help him train. Gradually, he endured the lower temperature. For the rest of the time, he comprehended the secret arts in the morning and accompanied Yan Zheke to tour the mountains and rivers in the afternoon and at night. They strolled in the mountains and explored various delicacies. Sometimes, he would share the contents of his training notes that didn't involve the secret arts of the sect with his little fairy. After all, everyone was walking the path of "Cosmic Starry Sky" that was balanced into Dan.
These days were beautiful and fulfilling. In the blink of an eye, it was almost the end of August. Lou Cheng had grasped the basics of all nine Ice Sect Physical Invulnerability Moves. Of course, the so-called basics meant that he could leave the Secret Hall and the visualization diagram to train. Except for the Millennium Ice Wall, Enemy Heart Freezing Move, Ice Spirit Holy Light, and Boundless Starry Sky, Absolute Frost, which had a solid foundation, the rest would take him two to three months to grasp the basics.
The cultivation of Physical Invulnerability was heavy and long.
This day, in the afternoon, in the Polar Laboratory, the monitoring screen in the outer control room showed the temperature inside:
-136 degrees Celsius!
This wasn't a shocking figure, as the ultra-low temperature cold treatment system, which was popular among the rich and powerful in professional competitions, could easily achieve this. However, users who received treatment or used it to recover from fatigue could only stay for a short period of time. If they stayed for too long, their lives would be in danger.
At this moment, the monitoring data showed that the Polar Ground had been maintained for twenty-seven minutes!
Lou Cheng stood on the cold, hard, silver-white floor. His heart was beating violently, spurting out hot blood with some Fire Force that traveled throughout his body. He felt that if he were to slow down by half a beat, his muscles would start to freeze, and his cells would start to freeze, one by one. He would become a veritable ice sculpture.
His spirit was slowly retracting, and he had no strength to open his eyes. He was surrounded by darkness, an extremely cold darkness.
At this moment, Lou Cheng felt as though he was truly standing in the middle of the universe. His body was radiating light and heat, attempting to illuminate a region and warm life. Like a star, the two maintained a delicate balance.
Only ice is eternal, darkness is the final destination, and all heat will eventually be extinguished … Such a thought suddenly appeared in Lou Cheng's mind. He raised his almost frozen right hand and pressed the round button that required him to open the sealed door.
After a short while, he walked out of the Polar Ground with his own strength.
Thump! Thump! Thump! His heart was beating more and more violently, allowing his body to slowly and steadily recover from its nearly frozen state. The fatigue in his body seemed to have been expelled.
After recovering, Lou Cheng asked for his own data report, took a hot shower, and changed into clean and fresh clothes. Every martial artist who used the Polar Ground Laboratory would leave behind monitored data. However, this was a secret, and the experimenters had no right to see it unless they had the permission of the martial artist.
From the second time, Su Chen didn't wait outside. He would only come over when it was almost over. Today, Lou Cheng ended early and didn't try more. Therefore, he slowly walked through the corridor of the Wuyue Club building and walked out of this quiet and cool place.
At the entrance, a fiery-red car rolled down the window, revealing Yan Zheke's beautiful face. She pursed her lips and smiled, waving her hand playfully.
"Hey, are you alone?"
Little Fairy's imitation of a pickup line was not at all convincing … Lou Cheng shook his head and laughed. "You should say that. Hey, do you have a date?"
Yan Zheke's eyes flashed as she glared at him. She slapped the seat beside her and said,
"Are you getting in or not? If not, I'm leaving! "
Today was the day they returned to Xiushan.
"This is a tyrant's promise." Lou Cheng went to the other side, opened the door, and got in. As for the luggage, of course, it had been packed long ago.
…
Back in Xiushan, the couple went to their own homes. Lou Cheng just took out the key to open the door when he heard his mother's nagging,
"You brat, why didn't you come home when you were in danger on a trip? Why did you stay in Wuyue for so long?"
Lou Cheng chuckled and said, "Didn't I break through? I went to the sect to stabilize my state and practice new martial arts. "
Yes, my connection with heaven and earth is stable now. I'm a real Physical Invulnerability expert!
"Break through?" Qi Fang didn't understand for a moment.
Lou Zhisheng, who was casually changing the channel, raised his head. He didn't have time to push his gold-rimmed glasses and blurted out,
"You're a Physical Invulnerability expert?"
Even an ordinary family, after so many years of influence, knew the meaning of "Carp Leaping Over Dragon Gate".
"You're a Physical Invulnerability expert?" Qi Fang asked like a repeater.
How did he become a Physical Invulnerability expert in such a short time?
"Yeah." Lou Cheng smiled and threw his new backpack on the sofa. He told his parents what had happened. Of course, he left out the parts that were too exciting and frightening.
"Ha, not bad, not bad." Qi Fang was too excited. Even after racking her brain, she could only come up with this one word.
Lou Zhisheng picked up his personal thermos and sipped tea to hide his emotions. However, after drinking for a long time, he only drank tea leaves. He forgot to add water.
"Not bad." In the end, he was possessed by Qi Fang and only said these two words.
When he calmed down, Qi Fang asked with concern,
"Cheng, you're already a Physical Invulnerability expert. Are you still going back to the Longhu Club?"
"Yes," Lou Cheng said cheerfully. "Dragon King called me a while ago to ask about it. I agreed."
Without any hesitation, he said that he would go after stabilizing his state and mastering the Ice Sect's Physical Invulnerability Chapters. They would talk about the contract then.
"That's good. That's good." Lou Zhisheng sighed. "I met that kid from the Wang family two days ago. He has been away for almost half a year. He opened a snack bar with Xiushan specialties near a shopping mall in Gao Fen. Business is good. In the big city, no one collects protection fees. He can sell for two to three thousand yuan a day. You guys are all grown up."
After hearing about Wang Xu's situation, Lou Cheng, who couldn't contact him, felt relieved.
"That's good. That's good."
…
On the evening of August 30th, in Yan Zheke's bedroom.
The couple covered themselves with an air-conditioned blanket and talked about how they would go their separate ways tomorrow.
"You're a Physical Invulnerability expert now. Will it be difficult to get a visa?" Yan Zheke looked up and asked worriedly.
Lou Cheng chuckled and said, "I asked.
I can still get one, but I can't go over for no reason. I can't stay for too long either. "
As Yan Zheke was returning to Connecticut the next day, he got permission from his parents-in-law to stay in the guest room. Taking advantage of the dark and windy night, he sneaked over to his wife's side to sleep.
"Okay, I'll cherish every holiday!" Yan Zheke bit her pink lips lightly.
After going through so much, they were pretty sure about each other.
The next day, after sending off his little fairy girl, Lou Cheng went to the departure hall in China. He arrived in Huacheng at three in the afternoon. He didn't inform the club's assistant to pick him up.
He carried his luggage and hailed a taxi. Passing through the familiar yet unfamiliar streets, he appeared outside the Longhu Club once again. The scenery here didn't seem to have changed.
After paying the fare, Lou Cheng stood at the entrance. He took a deep look at the "Dragon Coil" and "Tiger Crouching" plaques, smiled, and walked in.
