Free Web NovelChapter 19: Chapter 19: King of Soldiers’ Fighting Technique, Tenfold Physique Enhancement
"First, I have no intention of apologizing, because I don’t believe I’ve done anything wrong. Second, I don’t feel it’s necessary for me to apologize, either. If the Yu Group wants to target me, then let them come. Third, if this is Yu Chenghao’s idea, I want you to pass on a message for me—he’d better not come looking for trouble, or else..."
Ye Ling’s voice held an unquestionable finality, and for a moment, even Li Yuan was taken aback.
For some reason, despite the fact that he was just an eighteen-year-old kid, Li Yuan felt an immense pressure from him.
It was a pressure he seemed to recall feeling from Yu Tiancheng, and yet... the pressure radiating from Ye Ling felt even more intense!
"I’ve said what I have to say. You’d best watch yourself." freewebnovёl.ƈom
Li Yuan was silent for a long time before finally uttering those words in a low voice and hanging up.
Compared to his earlier words, this was an unmistakable, open threat.
’The Yu Group, huh?’
Ye Ling sneered and casually tossed his phone aside.
A massive conglomerate ranked in the nation’s top 500 would have been an untouchable entity to his past self. But for the person he was now, it was no longer so distant.
’Besides, putting the system aside, with Ning Ruoxi living with me now, can the Yu Group really touch me?’
Ye Ling did a few sets of anaerobic exercises, took a hot shower, and went straight to bed.
He slept very soundly, but for certain others, it was a sleepless night.
Li Yuan relayed the news to Yu Chenghao, who was undoubtedly furious. He had now become an object of contempt for countless people online!
"Ye Ling, since you want it this way, don’t blame me for what comes next!"
Yu Chenghao hung up on Li Yuan and immediately dialed another number.
"Dad..."
A vicious look flashed in Yu Chenghao’s eyes...
...
「The next morning.」
Ye Ling’s internal clock woke him early.
’This must be a side effect many people experience after the college entrance exams... No matter how late you go to bed, you still wake up bright and early the next day!’
’Sometimes, if you skip your afternoon nap, you feel completely exhausted by six or seven in the evening!’
’System, check in.’
Ye Ling thought to himself the moment he woke up.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host. Check-in successful. Great Luck triggered. You have obtained Soldier King Level Fighting Technique!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing a special mission: Achieve a cumulative three ’Great Luck’ check-ins. You have been awarded one Mysterious Draw. Do you wish to use it now?"
In an instant, Ye Ling felt as if a flood of information had been poured into his mind—battlefield combat experience, various fighting techniques—it all felt as if it were being branded directly onto his soul.
Ye Ling’s eyes lit up. ’This system really gives me whatever I need, doesn’t it?’
He had just been wondering what he would do if he encountered an expert of Li Yuan’s caliber again. After all, he was just a student. freēwēbnovel.com
Even though he worked out every day, he’d be no match for someone like Li Yuan—a multi-year champion—let alone special forces veterans fresh off the battlefield!
But now, he felt that if he really fought Li Yuan, he would at least have a fighting chance.
The only remaining difference would be their physical conditioning; Li Yuan’s training regimen was surely far more intense than his!
’Use the Mysterious Draw.’
Ye Ling immediately used the reward. ’I just hope I get some kind of strength-enhancing buff!’
"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully used the Mysterious Draw. The reward is being drawn..."
A screen of light suddenly materialized before his eyes, displaying a green prize wheel in the center. The pointer spun with a sound effect before finally coming to a stop on the space at the very top.
"Ten-Fold Physique Enhancement!?"
Before Ye Ling could even react to the four words on the screen, a powerful electric current shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
THUD!
Ye Ling couldn’t react in time and fell heavily to the floor, passing out.
After losing consciousness, Ye Ling felt himself slip into a long dream. He seemed to have returned to a primeval age, fighting countless savage beasts. Every battle was a brutal, bloody affair—incredibly perilous!
But with every fight, his body grew stronger, and his injuries seemed to heal miraculously...
In the end, he became the greatest warrior of the Human Race and married its most beautiful woman.
One day, having reached the pinnacle of his life, he was napping in his wife’s arms when suddenly, in the middle of his slumber... ’This feels a little too real.’
Ye Ling groggily opened his eyes, only to be greeted by the rhythmic rise and fall of giant pandas before him.
’What the hell?’
Ye Ling was instantly wide awake and shot up.
The owner of the embrace he had been lying in—the "most beautiful woman of the Human Race"—was also startled awake by his sudden movement.
"Ye Ling, you’re awake..."
Ning Ruoxi rubbed her eyes, sat up as well, and yawned.
"Wh-what’s going on..."
Ye Ling stared at the scene, completely baffled.
’Just now, I was checking in... then I got a draw... and after the draw, I got some kind of ten-fold physique... and then, I was suddenly knocked out by a powerful electric current!’
’Ten-Fold Physique Enhancement?’
At that thought, Ye Ling focused on his body and immediately sensed an unprecedented feeling of power, the kind of feeling that made him think he could kill a tiger with a single punch!
Moreover, he discovered that the world looked different. From an arm’s length away, he could clearly see the pores on Ning Ruoxi’s skin, and even the nearly invisible peach fuzz!
’My vision has been enhanced too!’
Ye Ling’s heart filled with immense joy. ’This time, I’ve really scored!’
Not only did he get the exact ability he had been hoping for, but there was also an unexpected bonus!
It wasn’t just his sight. He could feel that his hearing and sense of touch had improved dramatically, too. It was as if all his senses had ascended to a new level!
"I remember... I think I got up to use the bathroom, and then I heard a dull thud from upstairs, so I came up to take a look..."
At this moment, the confusion in Ning Ruoxi’s eyes gradually faded as she began to recall what happened.
"I thought I heard the noise coming from your room, so I came in and saw... you lying on the floor? Then I dragged you onto the bed..."
Ning Ruoxi trailed off, then paused and gave Ye Ling a curious look. "Oh, right, why were you on the floor? Were you sleepwalking?"
"Uh, about that... Ahem, maybe..."
Ye Ling was also feeling pretty awkward.
’He didn’t want to admit that a guy his age could still fall out of bed... but if he told her he was knocked unconscious by an electric current from a system enhancement, who would believe that?’
"But how did you end up on my bed?"
Ye Ling steered the conversation away from himself, bringing it to the main point.
Falling on the floor wasn’t important. The critical point was...
That he!
Just now!
Had been holding Ning Ruoxi!
In his sleep!
