Li Fei was sent home in a vehicle from the Overseeing Bureau.
He was still unaware of the storm his matter had stirred up within the Overseeing Bureau. As usual, he returned to his room for training after dinner.
First, he consumed a Withering Fire Pill, followed by medication for the Embryo Nurturing Stage.
This time, after taking the Withering Fire Pill, he felt something drilling outwards beneath his skin, creating a more intense hunger than before.
He hadn't experienced this sensation during the previous days of medication.
"What's going on?"
Li Fei was taken aback.
He glanced at the Myriad Blood Bead. The Blood Soul was decreasing faster than usual, and the energy increase was also greater.
"I don't know if it's good or bad. I'll ask the teacher tomorrow."
The rate at which the Blood Soul was decreasing was still within a controllable range, so Li Fei didn't panic and planned to consult Hao Yi tomorrow.
Next, he took two more Embryo Nurturing Pills and applied more Golden Kui Balm, which alleviated the hunger caused by the Steel Armor Implant.
It wasn't until after 10 PM that Li Lei returned home. He didn't eat first but went straight to Li Fei's room:
"Xiao Fei, the investigation results are out."
"Mm, was it instigated by the Tiger Sabre Gang?"
Li Fei asked.
Li Lei shook his head. "The person who led the attack on you is called Liu Wen, the leader of the Bear Strength Gang. The Bear Strength Gang is an outer gang of the Tiger Sabre Gang. I originally thought the Tiger Sabre Gang instigated this, but we forced Liu Wen to talk. He said that someone from the Chen Family found them and offered 2,000 yuan for one of your legs."
"Someone from the Chen Family?"
Li Fei was stunned and immediately thought of Chen Lixin.
If anyone in the Chen Family wanted to deal with him, it would definitely be Chen Lixin.
He had thought the Tiger Sabre Gang was behind this, but he didn't expect it to be the young master Chen.
He embarrassed the other party during the graduation exam, and the other party held a grudge, hiring someone to deal with him. That made sense.
"2,000 yuan. This young master Chen is really generous."
Li Fei smiled.
Li Lei sighed. "Chen Lixin didn't personally contact the Bear Strength Gang. He's not that stupid. So, if we continue to investigate this matter, we can only find some servant of the Chen Family. The other party will voluntarily stand up and take the blame for Chen Lixin. It's unlikely we can do anything to Chen Lixin."
"Mm, I understand, Uncle Li."
Li Fei nodded, expressing his understanding.
In this era, Martial Warriors from the Tiger Sabre Gang could get away with murder, let alone the young master of the Chen Family. "But don't worry, I made a big commotion this time. After my fuss, even if the Tiger Sabre Gang really has any ideas, they won't dare to do anything to you in the future."
Li Lei said to Li Fei.
Although it wasn't found that the Tiger Sabre Gang was behind it, the attitude shown by the Overseeing Bureau this time was very clear. Some bottom lines must not be crossed!
So, it could be considered a way to prevent some future troubles for Li Fei in advance. Li Lei didn't think he had made a fuss for nothing.
"As for Chen Lixin, I will continue to investigate this case and ask the Chen Family for an explanation, which will also serve as a warning to the other party. This Chen Lixin will soon go to college and shouldn't have the mind to deal with you anymore."
Li Lei continued.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Li."
Li Fei nodded.
"You brat, why are you being so polite with me?"
Li Lei ruffled his head. "Alright, you should rest early."
Then he walked out of the room.
"Come and eat quickly. I just reheated the food."
In the living room, Zhang Yuqing said softly to Li Lei.
"Okay."
Li Lei walked to the dining table, sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.
"Did something happen to Little Fei?"
Zhang Yuqing asked with concern.
She had seen Li Fei being brought back by the Overseeing Bureau's car today, and Li Lei had come home especially late, going to see Li Fei as soon as he got back, so she guessed something had happened.
"Well, there was a bit of a problem, but it's been resolved, so you don't need to worry."
Li Lei never went into too much detail about dangerous things, always portraying them as 'minor problems that have been resolved' in front of his wife.
In this regard, Li Fei was very similar to him. After returning home today, he didn't mention the attack to Zhang Yuqing and Li Tianyu at all, showing no signs of anything being amiss from beginning to end.
But Zhang Yuqing was still a little worried: "Even if you don't tell me, I can guess. Little Fei wants to get that university spot from the Military Academy, but you said the situation inside the Military Academy is very complicated. If he goes in and tries to take someone else's cake, he'll definitely be targeted. Was that what happened today?"
Li Lei grunted in agreement while picking up food.
"Old Li, isn't this too dangerous for Little Fei? How about we don't compete for that spot? We can just save up money for a few years, and after Tian Yu graduates from university, we can send Little Fei to university then."
Zhang Yuqing grabbed Li Lei's sleeve.
She had raised Li Fei from a young age, and he was no different from her own son in her heart.
Li Lei put down his chopsticks, turned to look at his wife, and took her hand:
"Don't worry, I made a big scene in the academy today, and the director of the Overseeing Bureau made it clear that he supports me. No one will dare to easily touch Little Fei again in the future. Little Fei's struggles with them should all be out in the open from now on, with everyone relying on their own abilities."
Speaking of this, he recalled Li Fei's feat of fighting more than a dozen people today, and the words Lu Sheng had said to him, and couldn't help but smile: "Also, don't underestimate Little Fei. This kid is becoming more and more promising now, and he will definitely become more and more powerful in the future. Not just anyone can deal with him!"
Early the next morning, Li Fei refilled two bags of Lime Powder, put on his stab-proof vest, and also put an iron rod he had taken from Liu Wen in his canvas bag before running out of the house towards the Military Academy.
Nothing happened along the way, and he arrived safely at the Military Academy.
However, today he did not go directly to the practice building or enter the Medicinal Bath Room to boil water, but went to Hao Yi's office first.
"Teacher."
Hao Yi was drinking tea in his office when he saw Li Fei and was taken aback: "What's the matter?"
So Li Fei told him about the strange feeling he had been experiencing.
"You feel like something is about to come out from under your skin? The hunger from the Implant has increased?"
Hao Yi looked at Li Fei with some surprise. "That shouldn't be happening."
"Teacher, is there something wrong with the Implant?"
Li Fei asked, feeling a little nervous because of the other man's attitude.
"Your Implant is Steel Armor. If you're feeling this way, it means your Embryo is stirring. This is a sign that you're about to break through to the Body Breaking Stage."
Hao Yi looked at Li Fei with a strange expression.
"Ah?"
Li Fei himself was also surprised.
Although he cultivated the Heavenly Stellar Overlord Body twice a day and took the Withering Fire Pill, he had only entered the Embryo Nurturing Stage for less than ten days. Was he about to break through to the Body Breaking Stage already?
Wasn't it said that even the most talented people needed a month to go from Embryo Nurturing to Body Breaking? "Have you done anything special in the past few days?"
Hao Yi asked.
"Anything special?"
Li Fei thought about it, and suddenly remembered that when he was fighting Liu Wen and the others yesterday, he seemed to vaguely feel something moving under his skin, but his attention was focused on the fight at the time, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Could it be related to that?
So Li Fei told Hao Yi about being attacked yesterday.
If there was anything special, this was the only thing recently.
"You said you were attacked?!"
Hao Yi's expression immediately darkened after hearing this, and an astonishing aura of menace emanated from his body.
