Zhao Liang Prepared to Make His Move

"Seven times gravity, Minute Subtlety movement technique, and certification as a Two-Star Martial Artist. Just how much strength is Qin Chen still hiding?"

In the control room, Luo Bin spoke in surprise after listening to the report.

Yang Xue was on the phone at the time. Only after putting it down did she say, "It's just been confirmed. He's completed his Two-Star Martial Artist certification, with a combat power of 780."

"780!" Luo Bin was startled again.

That was already higher than most martial artists who had just reached Two Star.

"In that case, can we be certain that he'll be the one from this training camp to take part in the General Star selection?" Luo Bin continued.

With the strength of a Two-Star Martial Artist, even if Yu Yang and Xu Fei tried to catch up, they couldn't possibly do so in the time remaining.

Yang Xue thought for a moment, then shook her head. "There's no rush. We'll stick to the original plan. I've already had the war zone send over a batch of exotic beasts, and I'm afraid they've already set out. It wouldn't be right to cancel the selection for everyone else now!"

Hearing this, Luo Bin nodded. If the exotic beasts were already on their way, continuing the selection was indeed the best course, and it would also give the trainees a chance at real combat.

Over the following days, perhaps spurred on by Qin Chen, all the trainees in the camp threw themselves into cultivation with boundless enthusiasm.

They had all considered themselves geniuses before, so they hadn't minded taking it easy. But now, with a monstrous talent like Qin Chen around, they realized just how laughable their so-called genius was.

Now, it was as though a fire burned in each of their hearts, driving them to burn themselves up without rest and bring out their greatest potential.

Qin Chen hadn't been idle these past few days either. He went to the gravity room and the infrared room every day.

Although the gravity levels and movement technique stages he had already cleared no longer sped up his progress in condensing the mark,

adapting to seven times gravity and training his level-five movement technique still brought him considerable progress.

Lounge number two.

Yu Yang had also been cultivating frantically lately, even pushing himself to the limit. He could now stand steadily under five times gravity, but he still couldn't move freely.

The more he experienced it, the more he understood how terrifying Qin Chen was.

As soon as he felt recovered, he got up, ready to head out again.

Just then, his phone rang.

He frowned slightly when he saw the caller ID, but he answered it anyway.

"Brother Yu Yang, congratulations on breaking through to become a martial artist!" a voice immediately came from the other end.

"Brother Zhao, get straight to the point. I need to get back to cultivating." Yu Yang didn't waste any words. He had no interest in such pleasantries.

"All right, I won't beat around the bush!" the voice on the phone said. "When does your training camp end?"

"This is very important to me!" the voice added.

Yu Yang didn't think much of it. "I'm not sure how much longer it'll be, but there'll be an assessment in three days. After that, this training probably won't take much longer to end."

"All right. There should be someone called Qin Chen in your training camp, right? I want to ask you a favor. During the assessment, find a way to help me kill him, and I'll pay you accordingly. Don't worry. If anyone finds out, I'll use the Zhao Family's connections to make sure you don't get into any trouble!"

On the phone, Zhao Liang said everything he had in mind in one breath.

Yu Yang's expression changed. He took a deep breath before saying calmly, "Brother Zhao, sorry, but I can't help you with that!"

He refused outright. Leaving aside the fact that he was no match for Qin Chen, even if he could kill him, he wouldn't do it. Zhao Liang made it sound nice, but all that talk about the Zhao Family's connections would be bullshit when the time came. Apart from his own family, who would care whether he lived or died?

There was a moment of silence on the other end before the voice spoke again. "Brother Yu Yang, Qin Chen was certified as a Two Star Martial Artist some time ago. I imagine you already know. Right now, he's probably the one person in the whole training camp who's a head above you. If he dies, you'll be number one."

During this time, Zhao Liang had been investigating the training camp and had learned quite a bit about its trainees. He knew about the competition between Yu Yang and Qin Chen-or, more accurately, that Qin Chen had consistently kept Yu Yang beneath him.

With a genius constantly being kept down, he knew this was a chance to get him to agree.

"Let me make something clear. Qin Chen is my rival, not my enemy. There's competition between us, but no hatred. I don't know what grudge you have against each other, and I don't want to know. I can't help you with this!"

After saying that, Yu Yang prepared to hang up.

"Yu Yang!" The voice on the other end suddenly turned somewhat cold. "I'd also like to tell you that if you refuse, the Yu Family will completely lose its business with the Zhao Family. The price is more than you can bear!"

Yu Yang stared at the phone, his expression darkening, but he still hung up without hesitation.

Afterward, he found a number and called it.

"Dad..."

Once the call connected, Yu Yang explained what had happened.

"Xiao Yang, focus on your cultivation. Our Yu Family won't starve without the Zhao Family!" Yu Yang's father said on the other end.

"Dad, now we know the Zhao Family is going to make a move against Qin Chen. If something really happens to him, the Zhao Family will definitely make a move against us too. Be careful!" Yu Yang warned.

He knew the Zhao Family's way of doing things all too well.

After hanging up, he pulled up Qin Chen's contact information. After some thought, he finally sent him a message, then walked out of the training camp.

In lounge number one, Qin Chen opened the message and his expression changed slightly.

"The Zhao Family!"

He had expected the Zhao Family to make a move, but he hadn't expected them to contact Yu Yang and prepare to strike inside the training camp. He had to admit, they really were bold.

The Zhao Family.

"Young Master Liang, he refused?" One of Zhao Liang's followers saw his expression and asked in surprise.

They had never imagined that Yu Yang would refuse Zhao Liang's request. The Yu Family and the Zhao Family had extensive business dealings; once the Zhao Family stopped cooperating with them, the Yu Family's business would plummet.

"End all cooperation with the Yu Family. Have someone take control of Yu Liang. Everything else can wait until Qin Chen has been dealt with!"

"Also, find out what form the Genius Training Camp's assessment will take," Zhao Liang said calmly.

The follower nodded. "Young Master Liang, if Yu Yang has refused, who will make the move?"

Finding someone to deal with Qin Chen was too difficult now. For one thing, Qin Chen's talent had already drawn the attention of the Martial Arts Association and the City Lord's Manor.

For another, Qin Chen himself had reached the strength of a Two-Star Martial Artist. Striking during the Genius Training Camp's assessment would be extremely risky, and no one was willing to take that risk.

"I'll do it myself!" Zhao Liang said calmly.

Since Yu Yang had refused him and it was hard to find anyone else, he would do it himself.

"This..." The follower was startled. "Young Master Liang, I'm afraid Yu Yang may already have told Qin Chen that you're going to make a move. If so, I'm afraid he won't be easy to kill!"

If Qin Chen was prepared, Zhao Liang could well run into trouble.

"What are you worried about? I'll judge the situation. If I can't kill him this time, there'll be a next time. Naturally, I won't take any risks."

"Also, remember this: if I really do make a move this time, I'll try to kill Yu Yang too. Yu Liang will be up to you when the time comes," Zhao Liang reminded him.

He wasn't sure whether Yu Yang had recorded their call today. If he killed Qin Chen and Yu Yang used the recording to threaten him or something like that, it would be very troublesome. If he got the chance, he wouldn't leave any trouble behind.

And once Yu Yang was dead, his father, Yu Liang, naturally had to die too.
