"Mm, so the last baptism of your bodies achieved excellent results. This time, let's proceed with it!"
"I will add more ingredients to the medicinal power. Your endurance must be even stronger this time, because it will definitely be more uncomfortable than last time!"
Lu Yang looked at the few people and continued to speak.
"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely endure it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed excitement. As long as their physical potential could be improved, they could endure any amount of pain. For the strong, becoming stronger was more important than anything else.
"Good, then go and find the buckets from before. Fill them with hot water according to the previous method, and I'll go prepare the medicine first!"
After Lu Yang finished speaking, he went directly to the room where the herbs were kept. He found several types of herbs needed. These herbs were all precious medicinal materials. He hadn't added so many last time because Lu Yang was worried their bodies couldn't handle it. However, with the experience from last time, Lu Yang was more confident. Soon, he found all the medicinal materials and added them to the wooden buckets. Finally, Lu Yang took out Duanlongxu (Dragon Severing Whisker) and added a little to each wooden bucket to maximize the medicinal effect.
"Alright, you can now enter the wooden buckets. This time, it will be for three hours. You must endure it well!"
Lu Yang said directly to everyone.
"Thank you, boss!"
Everyone thanked him and jumped into the wooden buckets. Soon, the water in all the buckets turned black and began to penetrate into their bodies.
Lu Yang saw the complexions of his subordinates gradually change. It was clear that the medicinal effect had taken effect. Lu Yang smiled slightly and left.
What he needed to do now was to continue cultivating the "Black Dragon Art." Lu Yang was still in the initial stage of comprehending the "Black Dragon Art." There were still many obscure parts that Lu Yang couldn't understand at all, but he could only comprehend them slowly. This was the profound meaning of the "Black Dragon Art." Lu Yang's comprehension of its profound meaning was very little. After all, the "Black Dragon Art" had been passed down for thousands of years. If it were so easy to comprehend, the Black Dragon King would not have taken hundreds of years to produce one.
Lu Yang sat cross-legged on the bed, and the Black Dragon Art instantly opened in his mind. This time, the scene that appeared was not a scene of conquering battlefields and countless killings, but a scene of an old man sitting in an ancient temple chanting scriptures and praying to Buddha. In front of him, a Buddha statue was emitting golden light, as if it were divinely manifesting.
The old man sat in front, silently praying, tapping a wooden fish in his hand, one beat after another... completely unaware of the Buddha statue emitting golden light before him.
Just like that, for an entire night, Lu Yang also entered a state of enlightenment with the old man, tapping the wooden fish in this manner.
Three hours later, Lu Yang silently opened his eyes and felt a trace of enlightenment within his body.
"Is this... the Dao?"
Lu Yang thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had seen through some things.
"Indeed, it is the Dao. As the saying goes, 'The Dao follows nature.' This is a form of the Dao. I didn't expect the 'Black Dragon Art' to guide me to seek the Dao. But what use is this Dao? What can it do?"
Lu Yang was clueless, but he firmly believed in one thing: the "Black Dragon Art" was his only reliance. If he couldn't understand it now, it meant his strength was too low. Perhaps when his strength improved in the future, he would be able to attain enlightenment.
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. I'd better go and see how they are doing!"
Lu Yang said, and then he left his room and went to the main hall.
He saw that the complexions of the five people lying in the wooden buckets had become extremely unpleasant, their entire bodies were covered in black, which clearly indicated they had absorbed the medicinal effects and turned black. However, they had not fainted, which meant they could still bear the dosage of the medicinal effects. This was just right, it would not cause any harm to their bodies and could further stimulate their potential.
"Boss, you're finally here. If you didn't come any sooner, I really couldn't have held on!"
An Ye Mingwang looked at Lu Yang and said with a smile in his eyes.
"Yes, boss. It's already been more than three hours. I've been silently counting the time. If you didn't come any sooner, I was going to rush out!"
Xiao Anuo also couldn't help but look at Lu Yang and say.
"It seems your sense of time is quite accurate!"
"Alright, you can come out now, and then go take a shower to wash off all the dirt!"
"First, slowly move your bodies and gradually adapt. You have the rest of today to adapt, because our great enemy will be coming soon!"
Lu Yang said to everyone indifferently.
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately nodded and then began to find places to adapt.
Lu Yang nodded with satisfaction and returned to his room to continue his enlightenment.
The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone in through the window, reflecting on Lu Yang's face, very warm.
Lu Yang felt the warmth of the sunlight and his heart also warmed.
"The natural world is filled with the Dao everywhere: the Dao of nature, the Dao of laws, the Dao of all things, all belong to the Dao. The Dao in the world is endless, but it is very difficult to comprehend even one of them. One can only passively accept it. To thoroughly comprehend it, one needs continuous accumulation and precipitation!"
Lu Yang couldn't help but think to himself.
However, he also had a trace of enlightenment, which was that understanding and utilizing this Dao could continuously strengthen his power, and it was similar to the breakthrough of An Ye Mingwang and the others.
After a night of enlightenment, Lu Yang clearly felt that his strength had increased by a few points. He wondered if he could defeat King Jagur now?
Lu Yang couldn't help but think to himself.
"Director Lu, they have launched a fierce attack on the shares of Haitong Group!"
At 9:30 AM, Lu Yang received a call from Lin Guoxiong.
"What is bound to come will eventually come!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly and directly called Gulaheng Deli.
"Help me mobilize one hundred billion US dollars. I need to use it!"
Lu Yang said calmly into the phone.
"Yes, boss!"
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Gulaheng Deli immediately agreed. In less than ten minutes, one hundred billion US dollars had been transferred to the corporate account of Haitong Group, and Lu Yang had also appeared in the chairman's office of Haitong Group.
"Now, counterattack comprehensively and make them unable to return!"
Lu Yang shouted arrogantly.
"Yes!"
When Lin Guoxiong saw that the company had received one hundred billion US dollars, he was instantly thrilled. With this one hundred billion US dollars, even if the Xiao family joined forces with so many major families, they would be too weak for Haitong Group. The funds they could bring out would be at most one hundred billion Chinese yuan. One hundred billion Chinese yuan compared to one hundred billion US dollars was a difference of about six times, which was the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan.
Haitong Group's total assets were only one hundred billion Chinese yuan. Lin Guoxiong did not know where Lu Yang got so much money. This was simply a colossus, as this one hundred billion US dollars was all real money. How high must the net worth of someone who could produce so much money be?
At this moment, Lin Guoxiong's respect for Lu Yang's methods grew increasingly.
...
In a high-end hotel in Jiangbei City, four traders were sitting in front of their computers, constantly operating while watching the rise and fall of stock lines.
Xiao Wuji sat on the sofa, sipping red wine while staring at the constantly falling stock lines on the large screen, a disdainful smile appearing in his eyes.
"Young Master Xiao, Haitong Group is in a precarious situation now. It's the best opportunity to attack Haitong Group's stock!"
Bai Hao said to Xiao Wuji with a fawning expression.
"Of course. Although that old dog Lin Guoxiong is good at managing the company, his methods in the stock market are not necessarily that great. As for me, Xiao Wuji, I have been immersed in the stock market for many years and am very familiar with its tricks. Today, I will make that old dog Lin Guoxiong pay a heavy price, as well as the mysterious chairman behind him. Isn't it just An Ye Mingwang? I also really want to see how much net worth An Ye Mingwang has, and if it's enough for me to play with!"
Xiao Wuji said triumphantly. With the backing of King Ling Que, Xiao Wuji's ambition was clearly emerging.
