Yu Luomian lay on the ground, gasping for air in heavy, ragged breaths.

He had never been this humiliated in his entire life.

As the dignified number two figure of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan and a level 95 Lightning Douluo, he was used to being surrounded by throngs of people and revered like a god wherever he went.

Yet today, he had been smashed like a dead dog by an iron rod falling from the sky.

What was even more frustrating was that he hadn't even managed to touch a single hair on his opponent.

"What, no more words?"

Qin Feng's voice drifted down from the city wall again, devoid of mockery, stating the fact with calm indifference.

"It seems you have finally understood the gap in strength between us."

Yu Luomian's face turned the color of liver. He wanted to retort, but the moment he saw the bottomless crater not far away, all his words choked in his throat.

A gap?

Is this what you call a gap?

This is a chasm!

"Who... who exactly are you?" Yu Luomian's voice was hoarse, laced with a fear he was unwilling to admit even to himself.

"Me?"

Qin Feng thought for a moment and provided a very fitting answer.

"An ordinary person who loves peace and is committed to changing the world through science."

An ordinary person?

Yu Luomian wanted to curse.

You call someone who nearly smashed a Titled Douluo to death with a single rod an ordinary person?

Does your family's ordinary person treat ten thousand meters of altitude like their own backyard, throwing whatever they want whenever they want?

"Alright, small talk is over."

Qin Feng's voice interrupted Yu Luomian's internal grievances.

"Since I'm a courier, I must maintain the professional standards of a courier."

"If you die halfway there in your current state, who am I supposed to get to sign for my delivery?"

"Brother Wolf, send a medical robot over and give him a shot."

"A shot?" Yu Luomian's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his mind.

He didn't believe for a second that this devil would be so kind.

A few seconds later.

"Whoosh--"

A palm-sized drone, looking like a metallic mosquito, flew down from the city wall and hovered in front of Yu Luomian.

A silver needle, thinner than a strand of hair, extended from the front of the drone.

"What is this? Poison?" Yu Luomian recoiled in vigilance.

"You could interpret it that way."

Qin Feng's playful voice emanated from the drone's miniature speaker.

"This is called 'T-2 Nano Repair Fluid'."

"Once injected, your broken bones and ruptured internal organs will be as good as new within three minutes, perhaps even stronger than before."

"Of course, you can choose not to take it."

Qin Feng paused, adding the second half of his sentence.

"Regardless, the third Rod of God is already loaded, and I personally don't mind switching to a different courier."

Yu Luomian's face turned pale instantly.

A real man knows when to bend and when to stretch!

As long as the green hills remain, there will be firewood to burn!

Yu Luomian frantically consoled himself in his heart, then tremblingly extended his arm.

"Come... come on then."

"That's more like it."

Qin Feng smiled with satisfaction.

The drone flew forward, and the needle precisely pierced into Yu Luomian's vein.

A stream of icy liquid was instantly injected into his body.

"Urgh--!"

Yu Luomian let out a muffled groan of pain.

It was not the feeling of being poisoned.

It was a... an indescribable, excruciating pain, as if billions of ants were gnawing at his bone marrow!

He could clearly feel those injected "liquids" rampaging wildly through his body!

Like a swarm of autonomous micro-engineers, they rushed toward his fractured bones, tore through his muscles, and repaired his damaged meridians!

First destruction, then reconstruction!

This process of internal transformation, akin to being sliced by a thousand knives, was ten thousand times more painful than being blown away by the shockwave just moments ago.

"Devil... you devil..."

Yu Luomian curled up on the ground, his body convulsing violently, drenched in cold sweat.

He finally understood why this young man had called it poison.

This thing was more torturous than any deadly toxin in the world!

Three minutes felt as long as three centuries.

When the agonizing pain finally receded like a tide, Yu Luomian felt as if he had been fished out of water, lying on the ground in a state of total collapse.

But he soon discovered something was wrong.

He tried moving his fingers, then his arms, and then... he performed a kip-up, springing directly to his feet!

"This... this..."

Yu Luomian stared at his hands in disbelief, feeling the surging, unstoppable flow of soul power within him.

His injuries were completely healed!

Not only were they healed, but he even felt that the bottleneck which had stagnated for over a decade showed signs of loosening!

Those Nanobots, while repairing his body, had incidentally cleared out the impurities that had accumulated in his meridians for years!

How was this poison?

This was a goddamn miracle drug!

Just as Yu Luomian was filled with shock and joy, thinking he had turned a misfortune into a blessing, Qin Feng's demonic voice echoed faintly once again.

"How does it feel, Mr. Courier?"

"Do you feel full of power, perhaps even wanting to trade a few more blows with me?"

Yu Luomian's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively assumed a defensive stance.

"Heh, no need to be nervous."

Qin Feng's voice was filled with the playful mockery of a cat toying with a mouse.

"I just want to remind you of one thing."

"The Nanobots injected into your body earlier have a few extra features besides their repair function."

"For instance, they have already perfectly integrated with your nervous system and your soul power core."

"From now on, every heartbeat, every flow of your soul power, and every thought that crosses your mind will be transmitted to my database in real-time."

"What?!"

Yu Luomian's face turned paler than a corpse's in an instant.

He frantically used his soul power to scan his body, but he could find nothing.

Those Nanobots were too small—so small that they were completely beyond his perception!

"Don't waste your effort."

Qin Feng's voice turned cold.

"To help you better understand your new identity, let's run a little test."

"Now, try to mobilize your soul power and attack that rock in front of you."

Yu Luomian was skeptical, but he still raised his hand, a ball of blue lightning gathering in his palm.

But the very moment he prepared to strike.

"Ah--!!!"

A heart-piercing, bone-chilling agony suddenly exploded from his chest!

It felt as if someone had grabbed his heart with a pair of red-hot pliers and was twisting it violently!

"Thud!"

Yu Luomian's legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees once more, his body spasming, unable to even utter a complete sentence.

"See that?"

Qin Feng's voice sounded like a final judgment.

"Now, your body, your soul power, and even your life no longer belong to you."

"They are my property."

"Without my permission, you cannot even commit suicide."

"I let you live, and only then can you live. If I want you dead, even if you hide at the ends of the earth, you will die."

"With a single thought, you will turn into a brilliant firework."

"Welcome to Umbrella, Mr. Yu Luomian. From today on, you are my first living coordinate within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan."

Yu Luomian collapsed on the ground, gasping for air, his eyes no longer holding a shred of unwillingness or anger.

Only endless, bone-deep fear remained.

It was over.

His life was completely over.

He was now nothing more than a remote-controlled puppet, a bomb that could detonate at any moment.

"Alright, the test is over."

Qin Feng's voice returned to a calm tone.

"Now, you can get lost."

"Remember your mission: relay my words to Yu Yuanzhen, word for word."

"Tell him I only want one thing from their family treasury. Once I have it, I will leave immediately."

"Tell him to have it ready and wash his neck clean, waiting for me to come and sign for it."

"If he doesn't cooperate..."

Qin Feng's voice paused.

"Tell him that your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan will soon become the first of the Upper Three Sects to be wiped out on the Douluo Continent."

"That is my word."

Yu Luomian climbed up from the ground, utterly dejected, and like a walking corpse, dragged his heavy footsteps back in the direction he had come.

His retreating figure was filled with despair.

Watching Yu Luomian walk away, Grey Wolf's voice rang out over the internal channel, carrying a hint of curiosity.

"Boss, we went through all this trouble, do we really only want one thing from their treasury?"

"Of course."

Qin Feng looked at the screen, at the countless flickering dots of Nanobots inside Yu Luomian's body, and replied.

"I have no interest in their Gold Soul Coins or their scrap metal."

"What I am truly interested in is what their family has passed down for thousands of years..."

"The genetic map of that dragon."
