<h4>Chapter 1418: Chapter 1726: Rigid Man</h4>


    Bam!


    Just as Zhu Hong was contemting, Chen Quan, who was standing nearby, suddenly struck, hitting him in the chest with his fist. Under the impact of that powerful force, Zhu Hong’s body was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall behind him. With a loud noise, the entire wall was covered in dense cracks.


    This sudden change stunned everyone present. At this moment, Zhu Hong emerged from the dented wall, looking at his limbs with a face full of confusion. Seeing Zhu Hong’s dazed expression, Chen Quan quickly walked up and asked, "Are you okay? I just wanted to test the strength of your muscles and see how much force they can withstand."


    Hearing Chen Quan’s words, Zhu Hong raised his head and looked at Chen Quan with a strange expression, "Master, how much strength did you use just now?"


    "Thirty percent."


    "Now, try attacking me with fifty percent strength." Saying this, Zhu Hong took a step back, stood straight, and gestured for Chen Quan to make a move. Chen Quan hesitated for a moment, then channeled his inner strength, concentrating it in his palm. Immediately, he leaned forward and struck Zhu Hong’s body directly with his palm.


    Instantly, Zhu Hong’s body was sent flying again, tracing an arc in the air beforending heavily on the ground.


    Before Chen Quan could catch up, Zhu Hong seemed unfazed, got up from the ground by himself, and rubbed the spot where Chen Quan had just hit him, his face showing even more astonishment.


    "Are you hurt?"


    Hearing Chen Quan’s voice, Zhu Hong shook his head and said with some excitement, "Master, it seems that this experiment not only strengthened my power. Your two attacks just now didn’t harm me at all. More importantly, I didn’t feel anything at all all over my body." After speaking, Zhu Hong hurriedly called over a group of researchers. There must be a reason for such a change in his body.


    Soon, a group of researchers surrounded Zhu Hong and led him into the ss room. After Zhu Hongy down, everyone connected all the medical equipment lines to his body and scanned his entire body.


    About half an hourter, the middle-aged man responsible for the diagnosis looked at the results and said, "Mr. Zhu, your body has very slight injuries, not very serious, and they won’t affect your body. Also, perhaps due to your body being rigid, you can’t feel any pain."


    "Is this good or bad?"


    "I can’t easily conclude on this issue, it requires further observation. Mr. Zhu, I suggest you rest for a while to see if there will be other changes in your body."


    Zhu Hong sat up from the bed, waved his hand, and said, "No need, I feel the current situation is quite good." After a pause, Zhu Hong turned to Chen Quan and asked, "Master, you used half of your strength just now, it should beparable to the masters on the Earthly List, right."


    "That’s right, equivalent to the top three on the Earthly List. With your current defensive power, you can stand toe to toe with Ling Chen. Moreover, I think your body has a lot of potential to be tapped into, I can help you try it out then."


    As they were speaking, the warehouse’s shutter door slowly rose, and a young man crawled in from the bottom. Seeing the neer, Zhu Hong immediately walked out of the ss room and asked, "What are you doing here?"


    "Mr. Zhu, I just received news that Ling Chen has given orders and is searching the entire city for your whereabouts, so I came to remind you."


    Upon hearing this, Zhu Hong slightly frowned and said, "It seems he has already guessed."


    "Probably because I ambushed him," Chen Quan chimed in from the side, "If I’d known, we shouldn’t have acted rashly."


    Zhu Hong snorted coldly. It was his idea to have Chen Quan ambush Ling Chen because Ling Chen’s appearance disrupted his ns, preventing them from acquiring enough agents. In a fit of anger, Zhu Hong made this irrational decision to kill Ling Chen directly in anger. Who would have thought Ling Chen not only escaped Chen Quan’s ambush but also injured Chen Quan, causing his strongest fighter to be harmed?


    All these grievances added up, making Zhu Hong hate Ling Chen to the core now.


    "Disciple, East Sea City is full of Ling Chen’s people. Although our location is very hidden, we can’t guarantee they won’t find us. I’d say we should leave East Sea City first, find a safe ce to stay, and think about how toe back when things settle down."


    Zhu Hong pondered for a moment, then said to the young man, "Arrange for a truck and move all this equipment and personnel out."


    "Mr. Zhu, this area is filled with Ling Chen’s men. Wouldn’t getting a truck be too conspicuous? Also, as far as I know, Ling Chen has stationed men at all stations, airports, and highways. No matter which route we take, we’re likely to be discovered."


    "Is there no way at all?" Zhu Hong’s face looked very troubled. These researchers and equipment are all he has, and under no circumstances can he abandon them. Otherwise, he would truly be left with nothing.


    Just then, Zhu Hong’s phone suddenly rang in his pocket, it was a text message alert. Taking out his phone and looking at the message on it, Zhu Hong’s eyes suddenly lit up.


    "Alright! You don’t have to worry about this; I’ll solve it myself. You continue to monitor Ling Chen’s men."


    "Understood." The young man responded and turned to leave the warehouse.


    "Master, you go to rest first, I’ll be paying someone a visitter."


    "Don’t you want me to apany you?"


    Zhu Hong smiled faintly, "No need, he won’t harm me."


    ...


    The Nanrong Family.


    It was still early in the morning, and everyone except the nanny was still in bed. At this point, a figure suddenly climbed over the wall and then quickly ran towards the vi in the backyard. At the door, the person took out a key and then pushed the door open to enter.


    "You brat, you finally came back."


    The voice startled Nanrong Hao, who had just walked in the door. Once he saw the person in the living room clearly, he was relieved and asked with a smile, "Chen, did you not go backst night?"


    "Go back?" Ling Chen said with displeasure, "I wanted to go back, but your sister wouldn’t let me. She insisted I find you. So, I had to stay over at your ce and see when you woulde home. Come clean, where did you go messing aroundst night? Your phone was off."


    Nanrong Hao smiled apologetically, "Chen, I just went out for a walk, really not messing around. You know, I don’t like blind dates, so I could only escape."


    "Alright! Save it for your sister. It’s gettingte, I have things to do today, so I’ll head back first." Finished speaking, Ling Chen ignored Nanrong Hao and walked out of the vi by himself.
