Chapter 708: Chapter 332 First Encounter with Mine City
The out-of-control Netherworld Train was subdued by a single sentence from the Champion Agent, which greatly surprised the outsiders.
They couldn’t imagine how such a powerful Class B Taboo Item could be so fearful.
What exactly had the Night General done to it? What could make such a massive train react with agitation?
“This train was originally a Taboo Item of the Ember Church, and Giant City captured it. At that time, it seemed to be the Night General Captain who suppressed the train,” someone said.
“I guess the method of suppression must have been quite brutal, even making the Taboo Items afraid,” another speculated.
“Is this the oppressive presence of the Champion Agent?” one person praised, “He is younger than I imagined.”
“Truly, the younger generation is to be feared.”
“This is a good thing; the more geniuses that emerge, the more likely humans can turn the tide.”
“Humans are not lacking in fleeting Heavenly Prides, but on the path to growth, many fall on the battlefields of the Forbidden Zones or to the corruption of Chaos, or even… die by the hands of their own kind for profit or conspiracy. Let’s hope he can continue to grow,” someone said somberly.
Not far away, Ye Han narrowed his eyes.
This was somewhat unexpected for him; the train had gone out of control just now, and its destructive power was not to be underestimated. Even with several Captain Level officers present, it would have taken some effort to bring it to a stop.
Yet that Li Yelai… only needed a single sentence?
‘Does this guy have any other secrets?’ Ye Han wondered to himself.
He hadn’t been idle these days.
Through the power of the red-haired woman, he had conducted a very secretive investigation of Li Yelai.
He learned that Li Yelai was a gunman and excelled at the Single-handed Eighteen Strokes.
Moreover, he had taught the Single-handed Eighteen Strokes, without reservation, to his colleagues in the official forces.
Any official Spiritual Ability User, whether from the Processing Department or military members, could learn this profound skill in the official Arsenal.
Ye Han snorted disdainfully, uncertain whether Li Yelai was too arrogant or too selfless.
He had actually taught such a unique skill to others.
Alright then, even if you’re selfless, this will expose your technique.
So, Ye Han let Zhao Xiao, a battle maniac, spar with many official strongmen.
Especially those Processors who excelled in long weapons or the likes of Ye Boshou.
Times of sparring and challenges allowed Ye Han, who watched the fights, to understand how tricky the Single-handed Eighteen Strokes were and to counter it accordingly.
Yes, he had already considered someone as a hypothetical enemy.
“Is that… the Five Senses Captain you spoke of, who is invincible among his peers?”
Zhao Xiao had been protecting his sister Zhao Lin amidst the turmoil, and after the commotion ceased, he saw Li Yelai, clad in an armored cloak, and his eyes lit up.
“Can I challenge him?” Zhao Xiao asked excitedly.
He had been sparring with various experts recently and had greatly improved.
Now, faced with a strongman proclaimed the strongest of the Five Senses, his desire for battle emerged.
Previously, he would never have dared; his curse made him easily go berserk, especially during combat when he could enter extreme emotions. Fighting enemies was one thing—perishing together at worst—but sparring with human strongmen was dangerous and could easily cause trouble.
A martial addict unable to fight or even spar was a source of unbearable pain.
But Ye Han’s arrival alleviated his plight, repeatedly pulling him back from the brink of collapse.
Now, with Ye Han at his side, ready to suppress his curse at any moment, he didn’t need to worry about losing his rationality to his curse in battle.
“Of course, if you want to,” Ye Han said with a smile.
He was indeed very curious about Li Yelai, whose Divine General Dharma Image he had witnessed before, was too powerful and fascinating.
Perhaps he also had other Faces; Ye Han truly wanted to know.
He hoped Zhao Xiao could force Li Yelai to reveal his other Faces.
If necessary… he could manipulate the situation a bit. Of course, the consequences could be serious…
“No way,” however, Zhao Lin interrupted Ye Han, “He’s on a mission right now, brother, don’t go interrupting him, find another time.”
Zhao Lin was very wary of Ye Han, especially knowing that he was hostile toward Li Yelai.
She was worried that her brother might be used by Ye Han.
By now, she also knew that Ye Han could not only suppress curses but also enhance them!
If her brother went up to spar with Li Yelai and suddenly received a Curse Enhancement, Zhao Xiao might instantly go berserk.
Then, the so-called sparring would turn into a life-and-death battle.
If Zhao Xiao injured the Night General… then the Night General might be forced to reveal some trump cards, namely… using Faces!
The consequences would be unthinkable.
She must avoid this possibility at all costs.
Ye Han glanced at Zhao Lin and nodded, “Sister Zhao is right, they are on a mission. Let’s wait until we go to Lava Mine City or enter the Immortal Palace before considering it.”
“What a pity… I’ve always wanted to visit him, but never had the chance,” said Zhao Xiao, disappointedly.
“No matter, there will be opportunities,” Ye Han responded with a smile, appearing benevolent, yet sending chills down Zhao Lin’s spine.
And Ye Han turned his gaze back to Li Yelai from afar.
But soon, Ye Han’s eyes sharpened.
He saw the figure that haunted his dreams.
Every time he recalled that face, beautiful as an immortal, his heart burned with desire to desecrate that beauty. Consequently, he vented his desires on his companions, to the slight complaint of the girls about his roughness.
And now, the girl he had been longing for was following right beside Li Yelai.
