Chapter 13 The Banquet
In the vast and boundless dark space, countless silver stars together form a dazzling sea of stars.
Three Li Yuans from different worlds gathered here, synchronizing their thoughts and sharing memories, power, and so on.
A moment later, Li Yuan from Joy of Life opened his eyes and looked at his two selves from the other worlds: "You two have finally gotten back on track."
Wasteland Li Yuan nodded without speaking. Of the three Li Yuans, although his improvement was the greatest, he was still enjoying the "achievements" of the other worlds.
Kengan Lee Yuan frowned slightly and slowly said, "The time in the three worlds is not synchronized. The flow of time here is obviously the fastest, while the flow of time in your two worlds is basically the same."
Li Yuan from Joy of Life seemed to have been aware of this beforehand, and said nonchalantly, "It's normal for the worlds to have different natures, different levels of power, and different speeds of time."
"That's true, but it seems... I need to speed things up a bit." Kengan Lee said, slowly closing his eyes again.
……
……
Kengan World.
Li Yuan opened his eyes and began to slowly move all the bones in his body from the extremities to the center.
After the series of crackling sounds stopped, he slowly sat up from the bed.
He has made great progress in the past month. Although his "hard skills" have not improved much, he has made great progress in his "perception" and his ability to deal with firearms.
During this month, whether he was drinking water, eating, exercising, resting, going to the toilet, having sex, or sleeping, he was subjected to countless assassination attempts by Wu Fengshui using firearms.
Pistols, submachine guns, sniper rifles...
Whether it's a direct attack or a sneak attack, whether it's live ammunition or training rounds, whether or not a silencer is used...
During this period, although Li Yuan was shot by bullets, he never suffered a fatal injury.
As time went on, in the final days, he was even able to pass through dense hail of bullets unscathed.
Now, the contract between Li Yuan and the Wu family has expired, and Wu Fengshui is about to leave.
To express his gratitude, Wu Fengshui gladly agreed to attend the farewell banquet at Li Yuan's sincere invitation.
It was called a banquet, but in reality, it only consisted of Li Yuan and Wu Fengshui.
Even Wu Fengshui, the guest, arrived earlier than Li Yuan, the host.
In the banquet hall.
After serving all the delicious dishes, the villa's maids bowed and left, making sure to close the door behind them.
In the candlelight, Li Yuan raised his wine glass first: "Thank you for your help over the past month. I have learned a great deal."
Sitting opposite him, Wu Fengshui, dressed in a red suit, raised his glass with a smile, clinked it with Li Yuan's, and then drank the violet-colored liquid in his glass in one gulp.
She exhaled softly, a slight blush rising to her cheeks, and her gaze towards Li Yuan held undisguised admiration.
"Your strength is truly astounding. I must say... no wonder you are the Dragon King."
Li Yuan waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's just an empty reputation. Without real testing, it's ultimately just a fleeting bubble."
Wu Fengshui shook his head, his expression very confident: "Strong is strong. In my opinion, you no longer need to test it..."
boom!boom!boom!boom!
Before she finished speaking, sparks suddenly burst from her long, silk-gloved fingertips, and the sound of four bullets being fired rang out simultaneously!
Li Yuan remained calm, sitting upright in his chair as steady as a mountain. His wrists swung rapidly, and the chopsticks in his hands slashed out four sword lights that were invisible to the naked eye.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
All four bullets were deflected and shot off in four different directions.
However, this is not the end.
Da da da da da da da...
In an instant, dense tongues of fire spewed out from the ceiling, under the dining table, and behind the decorative vases.
Meanwhile, Wu Fengshui, sitting opposite Li Yuan, had somehow acquired a small submachine gun, and hundreds of bullets from its specially made high-capacity drum magazine poured out in an instant.
And this firepower, comparable to a private arsenal, was all aimed at—Li Yuan!
Faced with this seemingly hopeless situation, Li Yuan's initial reaction was to curl the corner of his mouth into a... smile?
Then, he vanished in a flash!
Although the bullets came from all directions, they were not truly without blind spots.
The next moment, Li Yuan appeared beside Wu Fengshui.
Clearly, in order to avoid being affected herself, Wu Fengshui would not have allowed the bullets to hit her location when setting up the trap.
And this, naturally, became the weakness of this "gun formation".
Snapped!Snapped!
Li Yuan swung his arm, sending the two chopsticks flying towards the ceiling and the vase respectively, destroying the submachine guns in both locations.
Immediately, he grabbed the small submachine gun in Wu Fengshui's hand with his other hand and pressed it down, instantly stopping the flames under the table.
At the same time, with a slight squeeze of his five fingers, he snatched the gun from Wu Fengshui's hand and crushed it into a lump of scrap metal.
Throughout the entire process, his face remained unusually calm, without the slightest hint of anger or tension.
After he stopped all the flames spitting out in the banquet hall, Wu Fengshui turned to look at him, his eyes filled with undisguised excitement, his expression as if to say, "See, I told you you were strong enough, right?"
Li Yuan casually tossed the scrap metal on the ground and placed his hands on Wu Fengshui's shoulders: "I've long heard of the Wu clan's 'Liberation' secret technique. I wonder if I could witness it today?"
Wu Fengshui remained seated steadily in the chair, his head tilted back, a bright smile spreading across his adorable face: "Of course."
The next moment, veins suddenly bulged on her fair skin, and her strength increased dramatically.
Ordinary people have "shackles" that limit their full physical abilities to less than 30%—a safety measure the brain takes to protect the body.
However, in certain situations, some people may unexpectedly break free from these "shackles," such as a mother lifting a car with her bare hands to save her child from being run over, or suddenly bursting out with speeds far exceeding normal when being chased by a wild bear.
However, an ordinary person's body will gradually break down if they exert force beyond their capacity.
The Wu clan, through thousands of years of interaction with powerful individuals, improved their physical constitution, making them capable of withstanding the release of this power.
This ability to remove the "shackles" that protect the body is the "liberation" secret passed down by the Wu clan.
