The next morning, Luo Kai woke up early. He could now deeply control his sleep. He only needed to lower his heartbeat to fall asleep in an instant. One or two hours of sleep was enough to ensure that he was energetic throughout the day. Not only that, deep sleep could also speed up the recovery of his spiritual power.
After washing up, he practiced the Soft Forging Body Technique in his room to stretch his muscles and bones. He was now experiencing the power of the Soft Forging Body Technique more and more. The Great Might Dragon Fist was much inferior to it. The Soft Forging Body Technique could transform the body from the inside out, while the Great Might Dragon Fist was only a technique to exert force.
After warming up his body, he sat cross-legged on the bed and turned his consciousness to the inside of his body to continue exploring the secrets of the little universe.
The various organs in his body were operating smoothly. Lady Hua's medicinal bath had restored their vitality. The huge amount of blood energy was contained within. Once it was mobilized, it could have a shocking explosive power. This was the greatest ability he relied on.
The reason why he had been thinking about the secret of the small universe these days was that he had a vague feeling that his super strong control over his body was most likely related to it. For example, the nature-defying ability to control the circulation speed of Qi and blood and the operating efficiency of various organs should not come from physical arts, but from the deepest layer of cells. It might even be related to genetic memory, which was inheritance.
In addition to his own life cycle system, there was a faint mass of evil energy in his chest that slowly circulated around his heart. It seemed that there was a trace of blood energy leaking out of his heart and being absorbed by it.
Luo Kai paused. He had not discovered this situation yet. His spiritual power penetrated into the blood to study it in detail.
The blood was the energy transportation system of the human body. When humans absorbed energy from the outside world, it was filtered, digested, and absorbed by the body. The energy produced was transported through the blood to various parts of the body to maintain the deepest cell functions. During this process, the impurities of the dead cells were transported to the internal organs and the surface of the skin to be expelled.
This trace of blood energy was brought by the dead cells. Could it be that the dead cells would also produce evil energy?
The energy that existed in the universe outside must exist in his own small universe as well. Feeling that he had a deeper understanding of the secrets of life, Luo Kai looked a little excited. Just as he was about to continue his research, his heartbeat suddenly sped up uncontrollably. His hair stood on end, and a feeling of extreme danger appeared in his mind. He didn't have time to think about it. He quickly jumped out of bed. At that moment, a hot bullet brushed past his forehead. The pungent smoke unique to gunpowder rushed into his nostrils.
This bullet was very powerful. It directly pierced through the thick concrete wall behind him, and several frightened screams came from next door.
Luo Kai stood in front of the window with a gloomy face. A figure flashed and disappeared from the top of a distant building.
Whether it was the power or the speed of this shot, it was far beyond ordinary firearms. Even with his sharp nerves, he almost got hit. Moreover, it was shot from a very long distance, at least more than two thousand meters away. He couldn't sense any aura of the target at all. The other party escaped after a single shot. It was obvious that this was an experienced killing machine. When did he provoke such a terrifying killer?
He thought of the sky-high bounty he heard last night. Someone had offered a price of 30 million star dollars for his life. This killer was probably here for this. He was a little annoyed and hammered the wall. He should have chased after the killer last night. He shouldn't have been soft-hearted.
With the reduction of the evil energy in his chest, he felt very refreshed these days. He didn't want to cause any killings because as long as he killed, he would inevitably absorb the evil energy of the dead. Others might only absorb ten to twenty percent of the evil energy of the dead, but he would absorb eighty to ninety percent. Once it accumulated, he might repeat his previous experience. The feeling of being controlled by evil energy in the Su family was too terrifying. If Big Beard hadn't woken him up, it might have caused irreversible consequences.
He tried to convert all the evil energy in his chest into black flames and force it out of his body. However, the speed of the evil energy's circulation changed according to his mood. Only when his mood was particularly extreme would the evil energy be converted into black flames. It couldn't be used in a normal state.
…
As the largest hotel in Golden Orchid Prefecture, the Kim Orchid Hotel was naturally responsible for the safety of its guests. Soon, a large group of armed security guards rushed into the room. The head of security was a Physique Warrior. After asking Luo Kai a few questions, he stared at the small hole in the wall. His expression became more and more serious. He naturally saw the power of this bullet. Normal firearms couldn't produce such an effect at close range, let alone a super long distance shot.
Liu Hou led a few students in and looked at the scene. He then called Luo Kai out.
"Xiao Kai, do you know who you have offended?"
Luo Kai smiled bitterly. "If I knew who it was, I would have gone to solve the problem. I wouldn't have let the other party send an assassin.
Liu Hou thought for a moment and said with a gloomy face, "Could it be other competitors in this competition?
You just got your physical skill identity and you immediately got assassinated. It can't be so coincidental! "
Luo Kai shook his head. "It can't be. There should be a lot of Physique Warriors participating in this competition."
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's someone who doesn't want to see me win. My teacher and I have a lot of old enemies in Golden Orchid Prefecture!"
In the end, the hotel gave Luo Kai a room without windows. Luo Kai could only raise his guard and wait for the competition to start in the hotel.
Not long after he sat down, there was a knock on the door. He sensed it and got up to open the door. There was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man standing outside. When he saw him, he immediately smiled and stretched out his hand. "You must be Mr. Luo Kai. I'm the Sun Mercenary Group's liaison in Seongma Province. My name is Zhou Zheng. Commander Hongyun asked me to look for you."
Luo Kai shook his hand with some doubt. "Hello, please come in."
"Mr. Luo, Commander Hongyun asked me to pass you a message. She said that someone on the Hunter's Guild's Dark Net has put a bounty of 30 million star dollars on your life. Many bounty hunters who haven't made a move for a long time have rushed to Seongma Province. She asked you to be careful."
Luo Kai frowned slightly. "Does Hongyun know who it is?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head. "The Hunter's Guild's Dark Net never reveals the name of the person behind the scenes. Miss Hongyun doesn't know either. She asked you to be careful. If you can't handle it, leave Seongma Province. She will protect your life."
Luo Kai's heart warmed. A charming face flashed in his mind. "Thank Hongyun for me. I still have a few things to do in Seongma Province. I'll look for them after I'm done."
"Okay. Also, Miss Hongyun has one more thing to trouble you with." Zhou Zheng took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over.
Luo Kai reached out to take it. The envelope was very thin, as if there was only one piece of paper inside. "What's this?"
Zhou Zheng explained, "There's a cheque of 10 million star dollars inside. It's the reward Lord Yi Wen paid you last time. Captain Gao thought that this cheque was backed by Seongma Province's treasury, so there shouldn't be any problems. In the end, it was only issued when it was exchanged at the money shop. It couldn't be exchanged at all."
Luo Kai paused. No wonder Yi Wen gave the money so readily. "It means that we've run into a swindler."
Zhou Zheng sighed. "Yes, that's the trouble. Yi Wen is a Lord of a region. If he really wants to go back on his word, we don't have a good way to deal with him. We can't go to war over 10 million."
"Oh … Then what do you mean?"
"Miss Hongyun said that this cheque is for you. If you can get it, it's all yours. If you can't get it, then forget it. Yi Wen will probably step down soon. When that happens, our mercenary group will think of something."
Luo Kai had never cared much about money. However, he had to repay the favor of Hongyun for giving him the gene medicine. When he first joined the mercenary group, he didn't contribute much. He couldn't take someone else's things for free. He nodded and agreed. "Okay."
