Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Police Station Investigation

“When I was little, my mom used to tell my sister that staring like that would give her a sty. Have you ever thought about taking responsibility for looking like this?” Wang Xuan rambled on, feeling awkward and uneasy if he didn’t speak.

Wang Xuan was only wearing underwear, and his tightly toned muscles were fully exposed, his muscles defined, with veins slightly protruding.

His robust Qilin arms were like steel pillars, his chest muscles surpassed the average level for Asian women, his eight-pack abs clearly distinct, with not a trace of extra fat on his body.

His bronze-toned body looked as if it was cast from steel as Wang Xuan struck a pose, his biceps bulging high, “Do you want to keep looking?”

Lin Cheng knew her face must be crimson red, yet she pretended to be calm and composed, “Lie down, I’ll scan you with the instrument.”

She then gestured towards Wang Xuan’s piece of fabric, indicating for him to remove it.

“Forget it, a small deviation doesn’t matter, let me keep this piece of fabric. Lin Cheng, don’t play with fire.” Wang Xuan said.

Lin Cheng glanced at Wang Xuan, “It won’t catch fire, don’t worry.” Whenever she conducted a body check on Wang Xuan, didn’t she always choose days like this?

The laboratory was unusually quiet, the atmosphere ambiguous and awkward.

Practicing calming techniques for a while, Wang Xuan finally dressed himself up, and Lin Cheng busied herself analyzing his physical condition with the system.

“It’s so strange, the analysis data shows that your strength is approximately two to three times stronger than before, with improvements in bones, muscles, and fascia.

Your flesh activity is greatly enhanced, similar to that of youth, and your blood and energy no longer leak out everywhere, which indicates that your damaged foundation has largely healed.

The changes over this month have far exceeded those in the past four years, what’s going on here?”

Lin Cheng entered a research state, having long forgotten the previous awkwardness and embarrassment, continually asking Wang Xuan questions.

She knew, given Wang Xuan’s ragged body condition, how much brainpower fixing it had cost her over the years. But despite all her effort, only minimal progress was made.

Wang Xuan’s significant change in a month not only excited her but also harbored a slight sense of loss, eager to understand the reasons behind Wang Xuan’s transformation.

Perhaps the underlying principle could be a major breakthrough in the scientific community.

Wang Xuan already had a pre-planned answer, “Over a month ago, I went on a mission and consumed a Spirit Fruit in the wild, and then I broke through the Mixed Element Stance, followed by advancing the Life Generating Technique to the second layer, now I’m breaking through to the third layer. The changes in my body have occurred since then.

By the way, I seem to have regained my natural talent, enabling breakthroughs in cultivation, and my comprehension skills have also improved significantly.”

Lin Cheng was half-convinced, trying to understand, filled with scientific reasoning, what kind of change had allowed Wang Xuan to break free.

Ultimately, unable to fully comprehend it, she shook her head; perhaps it was a coincidence, and it was Wang Xuan’s fortuitous encounter. Although this answer did not fully satisfy her, Lin Cheng did not press further.

However, Wang Xuan’s talk about breakthroughs in the Mixed Element Stance and Life Generating Technique indeed shocked her; such rapid progress greatly surpassed a normal person’s cultivation rate.

“By the way, Senior Sister, do you have any High-Energy Nutrient Liquid here? The kind that can be absorbed in large quantities without side effects and won’t impact the body?” Wang Xuan asked.

Lin Cheng casually replied, “You’d best buy the finished product yourself. Some of the by-products from my research either have one defect or another.”

“Like what?” Wang Xuan said.

“The ones with slow absorption, insufficient potency, contaminates the body, or if not digested timely might cause an explosion, which one do you want?” Lin Cheng said irritably.

If there were such good things, could they still wait for you to pick them up?

“The ones that would explode from absorbing too quickly,” Wang Xuan knew he had found the right option upon hearing of the High-Energy Potion that could burst people’s bellies.

The reason High-Energy Nutrients Liquid on the market is so expensive? Because it needs to consider such factors while avoiding those dangers, it must reduce the risk of the drug to meet the requirements for safety and mass accessibility.

And Wang Xuan has an accelerator, as long as the drug’s toxicity residue isn’t high, he won’t care about the digestion speed; activating the accelerator eliminates that issue.

Even if he consumed in one go a potion containing the month’s worth of nutrients required for his body, he would dare to do it, this is his advantage.

Initially, Lin Cheng was a bit anxious, fearing Wang Xuan’s impatience for quick success, later, Wang Xuan dispelled her worries, and ultimately she provided a High-Energy Potion.

“This potion model has significant side effects due to the rapid absorption rate exerting great pressure on the body, resulting in vascular damage and stimulating rejection reactions.

To eliminate these side effects, not to mention the research expenses, but just the production costs alone would increase exponentially, hence its commercial value is low, unable to meet pharmaceutical industry standards.

A five hundred milliliters bottle provides the efficacy of two Hundred Herbs Essence Liquid but at only one-fifth the price.

The name, well, just call it Violent Dragon then.” Lin Cheng explained as she spoke.

Wang Xuan’s eyes lit up, then he sighed, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier, I spent five million Star Yuan buying Hundred Herbs Essence Liquid these days!”

“Five million!” Lin Cheng exclaimed, almost jumping with anger, “You wasteful guy, one truly doesn’t know how to save money if not managing the household; if you let me intervene, I could save half of it.

Quickly, tell me how much money you still have, hand it over quickly!”

“What I can give you is only thirteen million, I still need funds, use this first; there shouldn’t be any financial shortage in the short term.” This is an investment for the lab, after all, he has shares in it.

Wang Xuan spoke while transferring money to Lin Cheng, completing the transfer left him with only twenty million out of his fifty million, spending money really flowed like water.

Of course, the Violent Dragon Potion Lin Cheng provided could save him an unknown amount of wealth in the future; at least the previous acceleration on one Source Point cost two thousand Star Yuan, now it’s become two hundred Star Yuan only.

Being honest is crucial; Wang Xuan understood this principle.

Lin Cheng’s eyes sparkled with stars as she now had a substantial amount of money to let her focus on research for several months without worrying about financial shortage.

“Where did you get all this money? You didn’t rob it, right?” Lin Cheng asked, she didn’t want to visit him in prison next time.

“Borrowed from friends, just need to repay them eventually.” Wang Xuan replied.

Having stayed in the lab for several hours, Wang Xuan left with a large bucket of Violent Dragon Potion, before leaving, Lin Cheng casually asked if her brother had been causing him any trouble again.

Wang Xuan shook his head, then Lin Cheng waved and smiled as she saw him off.

Wang Xuan hurried back to the Martial Arts Hall without making any stops along the way.

“Accelerator.” He silently invoked it, displaying the personal dashboard.

Name: Wang Xuan

Age: Twenty-four

Height: One meter eighty-one

Weight: Ninety-eight kilograms

…

Cultivation Skills: Overlord Saber Perfection (Accelerable), Mixed Element Stance Perfection (Accelerable), Fierce Bull Fist Great Success (Accelerable), Life Generating Technique Third Layer (Accelerable), Bow Pulling Technique Great Success (Accelerable), Golden Bell Shield Minor Achievement (Accelerable)…

Source Points: One thousand ninety-five

Looking at the large bucket of Violent Dragon Potion brought back, Wang Xuan poured a cup to drink, and then clicked on the accelerator.

“Bow Pulling Technique Great Success (Accelerable)”

Accelerate!

Wang Xuan directly clicked, consuming unit after unit, the body began to feel numb and sour, as if he had exercised all day.

Before long, the accelerator had consumed fifty units of Source Power, the Bow Pulling Technique successfully advanced to the Perfect Realm, at this point, he had reached the Peak of the Muscle Strengthening Realm.

Muscles bulged out, his physique seemed to go through compression and growth repeatedly, finally becoming slightly more robust.

“Explosive power has greatly increased, strength is close to five thousand jin now.” Wang Xuan weighed slightly and recognized he had become more powerful than when he challenged the three instructors.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The personal terminal received a message from the police station requiring him to come in for questioning; pondering over it, Wang Xuan chose not to respond but forwarded the message to Senior Brother Chen Qingniu.

“How to deal with this?” Wang Xuan asked.

He merely wished for Senior Brother to be aware of his situation, to possibly offer aid in case things went awry, unexpectedly Chen Qingniu promptly replied, “Routine procedure, if something goes wrong I’ll step in.”

Wang Xuan was involved in the Meiling incident as a crucial witness, having twice engaged, and communicated insider information to Chen Qingniu, creating a deep connection.

“Alright.” Wang Xuan felt relieved, though still puzzled, wasn’t Senior Brother previously in the hospital?

Meanwhile, Chen Qingniu frowned, not wishing for Wang Xuan to enter the police station, exposing himself to other forces, posing a risk to Wang Xuan’s safety.

At least, Celestial Sword Mountain would eagerly want him gone. The Meiling incident continues to drag on, Wang Xuan’s traces on the battlefield back then wouldn’t escape the Immortals’ Dharma Eye, he might be considered a blemish for Celestial Sword Mountain.

Wang Xuan is able to testify that it was Hall Master Chen and Zhao Hao fighting at that time, and Zhao Hao personally killed the opposing side because he recognized both.

Ten minutes later, two police officers showed up at Wang Xuan’s door, after displaying badges and electronic credentials, they said, “You are a suspect in a murder case at Meiling, please come with us, it’s just standard inquiry, we need to record a statement.”

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

Wang Xuan sent the final message, then followed the two officers, even though it was late at night, many people saw him on the street.

Silently apprehensive, Wang Xuan knew that this time it was truly dangerous, not because of the police station, but because of being caught between Celestial Sword Mountain and Immortal Martial Combat Hall.

If either side wanted him dead, he would be in grave peril.

Following the police car’s departure, Chen Qingniu and Zhou Wu drove a hover car trailing above.

Wang Xuan can’t die, at least Immortal Martial Combat Hall doesn’t wish for his demise.
