Strength

Su Han's eyes turned cold, and he gave chase.

He kicked off the ground, his body shooting forward.

Blood flames trailed behind him in a brilliant streak, like a long dragon in the night.

But the enhanced human's energy template had erupted, giving him a terrifying burst of speed.

Su Han soon realized he couldn't catch up.

His physique of over seven hundred points was indeed formidable, with terrifying power contained in every muscle and bone.

But when it came to speed, strength alone wasn't enough.

He still lacked a good movement technique.

Relying on his physical strength alone to sprint, he was still somewhat slower than the enhanced human.

After he had chased them for some distance,

their figures gradually shrinking ahead of him,

his phone suddenly rang. Su Han took a deep breath and stopped.

He took out his phone and looked at it.

It was a voice call from Zhao Lei.

He answered, and Zhao Lei immediately urged him on.

"Su Han, why aren't you here yet?"

"Get your ass over here!"

"We're meeting at the high-speed rail station at 12:30 a.m. Don't drag your feet and make us wait."

With that, he hung up.

Su Han's face darkened. He watched the two figures gradually disappear into the night, then glanced at the time.

"Forget it."

Some things took priority over others. He would let those two go for today.

He still had to get to the meeting point.

And so he let the matter drop and stopped pursuing them.

Su Han also stopped circulating his power to unleash his qi and blood. He gradually drew in the blood flames, and the strange lines that resembled writhing strands of hair slowly vanished.

Soon, he was back to normal.

Su Han checked his injuries again.

Aside from some damage to his clothes, he was slightly weakened.

That was all.

At the same time, this battle had shown Su Han the true extent of his strength.

He was strong.

Compared to two days ago, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Back then, at the Security Patrol Office, he had been tortured without any ability to resist.

But now,

facing two semi-enhanced humans whose combat power started at a minimum of one hundred thousand,

he had fought them with ease and had even come close to killing them.

The eruption of his qi and blood alone gave him one hundred thousand combat power. On top of that, he had the force techniques of Secret Martial Arts to support him.

And with his physique improving every moment,

his true combat power had become utterly terrifying.

However, this incident had also thoroughly offended the so-called Earth Condemnation Bureau.

But it didn't matter.

Su Han sneered. He had already made an enemy of this world anyway.

What did one more Earth Dispatch Bureau matter?

Things had come to this, and he had no other choice.

Afterward, Su Han quickly changed clothes and hurried to Jinghai City High-speed Rail Station.

All he left behind was the devastation from the battle at the residential complex.

12:30 a.m.

Jinghai City High-speed Rail Station.

Su Han moved quickly and arrived on time.

In the waiting hall, Zhao Lei, the bald man, and the short-haired woman were already waiting.

Besides them, there were seven disciples he didn't recognize, whose auras were considerably weaker than those of Zhao Lei and the others.

Su Han guessed they were probably menial disciples, just as he had been before.

He said nothing more and waited quietly for a moment, until he saw Chen Yixi approach.

She was dressed simply as always, in a white T-shirt and jeans, looking like an ordinary college student.

But her eyes were so cold that no one dared meet them.

She looked over the members and waved.

"Everyone's here. Let's go."

Without another word, she headed straight for the ticket gate.

The others silently followed.

At the same time.

The Sturgeon Group's Jinghai City branch building.

Inside the top-floor office.

Mo Tong sat on a leather sofa, a tablet in his hand.

He looked as though he hadn't left all night.

As one of the people in charge of the branch, he had too many matters to handle.

At the moment, he was reading a report.

A report on Su Han.

The Sturgeon Group's intelligence network covered the entire outer city. If they wanted to investigate someone, no one's information could escape their eyes.

Thus,

they had uncovered everything Su Han had done before.

The more Mo Tong read, the colder his expression became. He said in surprise,

"What's going on with this guy's strength? Does it change every day?"

"At first, when he escaped from the basement and killed Zhang Qu, his combat power was estimated at a few hundred."

"Then he killed forty-three security patrol officers at the Jiayuan Residential Complex, and his combat power was estimated at five thousand..."

"Later, the entire Red Fist Sect was wiped out, including Xue Hongquan at the Baodan Realm and a White Grade enhanced human retained by the Kong Family. His combat power was estimated at a minimum of over twenty thousand..."

Mo Tong put down the tablet and rubbed his temples.

Originally, it had been a minor matter he was handling for an important person.

How had it become harder to deal with the further it went?

He looked up at Wang Yanfang, who stood in front of the desk.

"Was he hiding something, or is there a problem with the group's intelligence system?"

Wang Yanfang shook her head.

"President Mo, there shouldn't be a problem with the group's intelligence system."

"Then how do you explain this kid?"

Mo Tong pointed at the tablet, inexplicably irritated.

"From a few hundred to twenty thousand in such a short time. Give him a little longer, and won't he turn the heavens upside down?"

"This..." Wang Yanfang had no answer either.

Su Han was far too strange.

The speed at which he grew stronger was simply monstrous.

Mo Tong fell silent for a moment, then asked,

"What happened to the two people we sent to deal with him?"

"They're missing," Wang Yanfang replied.

"Their last signal came from the Jiayuan Residential Complex. After that, there was nothing. I'm guessing they've already..."

She didn't finish, but her meaning was clear.

They were dead.

Mo Tong's expression grew even colder.

Wang Yanfang asked cautiously,

"President Mo, do we need to send someone stronger? The security team still has a few semi-enhanced humans."

"No need." Mo Tong waved a hand, already having given it some thought.

"The group has a joint operation with the Earth Condemnation Bureau tonight. We can't spare the manpower for now."

"As for Su Han,"

"Leave him alone for now. Have the intelligence team investigate him further. That kid has some secrets."

"Especially when it comes to his strength. There's definitely something wrong there."

"It's impossible for him to have become this strong without leaving a single clue."

"Yes," Wang Yanfang answered.

"And what about that classmate of Su Han's? What was his name, Zhao Kai? What's his situation now?"

Wang Yanfang looked through the files, then answered,

"Zhao Kai is being held at the Yunfu District Security Patrol Office, and they're going through the procedures. We originally thought Su Han was dead, so he was the perfect person to take the blame."

"But unexpectedly, not only was Su Han alive, he kept stirring up bigger and bigger trouble."

"So it's been put on hold for now."

Mo Tong sneered and waved a hand.

"There's no rush. This Zhao Kai might still be useful. Keep him locked up for now, and don't let anything happen to him."

"Understood."

"Right, what about Su Han's older sister?" Mo Tong asked.

"She's still at Benevolence Hospital," Wang Yanfang replied.

Mo Tong nodded.

Benevolence Hospital was a private hospital opened by a retainer of the group. It was well hidden, and not many people knew about it.

Since being sent there, Su Yun had remained in the ICU, left unattended to live or die on her own.

But that was fine too. With her in his hands, she might be useful in the future.

"Leave her there for now," Mo Tong finally instructed. "We'll talk about it after dealing with Su Han."

"Yes."
