It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 263 [019] "Steel Armor Breathing Technique" is just a pseudonym

Tiger Chi had always believed that the west and east martial arts training grounds had the same architectural style and no essential difference. It was not until this morning that he realized that his master did not just find a random place to retreat.

Hu Chi and his master took the high-speed elevator to the 18th floor underground. Hu Chi had never known that there was such a secret elevator entrance in the lounge of the west side martial arts training ground.

"Um... Master, are you hiding something underground? Being 18 floors underground is a bit unlucky."

The elevator buttons only had two options: "1st floor" and "18th floor." The master ignored Tiger Chi's complaints. He put his hands behind his back in his white kung fu shirt, and his body was slightly hunched.

Early in the morning, Hu Chi was called by Doctor Li to the master's retreat. The master was silent and asked Hu Chi to follow him down to the secret 18th floor.

The elevator door opened and the light strips above his head lit up one by one. For the first time, Tiger Chi discovered that there was a different world deep underground.

"This is……"

This flat, depressing square underground building is very different from the high-rise Chinese antique-style building on the ground level of the headquarters. The white walls are spotless and obviously no one has cleaned them. There are no visible seams at all, which makes it seem like it was designed by the company.

As the bright white lights were fully turned on, Hu Chi saw a three-layer polymer glass wall in front of him, which looked exactly the same as the protective glass wall of the "Superman Arena".

There was nothing on the other side of the glass wall, and Tiger Chi took a deep breath:
"Master, is this a prison? But why can't I see any prisoners? What kind of prisoners are those who need three layers of glass walls to be locked up..."

“Well, this prison and the glass wall were built by Doctor Li using the company’s technology.”

Qin Qi didn't answer the question. He staggered to the front of the first layer of glass wall and stroked the surface with his left hand:
"According to the original plan, you should take Jiandan to see the things inside the wall after I die. By then, he will naturally understand what it is and what it can be used for."

Tiger Chi scratched his head: "Master, there is nothing inside the wall! Can it be that only people who have mastered the Steel Armor Breathing Technique can see it?"

Before he finished his words, a human figure made of pitch-black sand appeared out of thin air and slammed into the glass wall with great force. The shock brought about by this made Hu Chi, who was outside the three-layer glass wall, terrified.

It was like a dark figure of a prisoner. It immediately dissipated after a collision, flashed and reunited a little further away, and then collided again!

Waves of soul-destroying shock waves were stirred up in the underground prison. The master was still able to stabilize his body, but Tiger Chi's face was covered in sweat and an inexplicable feeling of grief emerged in his heart.

A barely perceptible trace of sadness flashed across Qin Qi's wrinkled and hard expression:
"This person is the first president of the Night Dragon Society, and also my master."

Hu Chi was horrified. Although he knew that there was such a "grandmaster", he heard that he had passed away long ago. He would never have thought that he was imprisoned here.

"Empty—empty—empty—"

The dark figure slammed against the glass wall with great force, revealing its ferocious fangs from time to time, which made Tiger Chi extremely frightened.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the so-called "Master" is more like an empty shell. With the collision, the black sand on his body keeps falling and reorganizing. Inside the sand, not only can no human body be seen, there are no skeletons or mummies.

"This is simply..." Hu Chi thought of a term but didn't dare to say it.

Qin Qi held onto the glass wall and turned slightly to his apprentice:
"It's time to let you know. The secret of Steel Armor Breathing Technique is to refine the black mist."

"The true form and name of the Steel Armor Breathing Technique is called 'Yin Beast Armament'!"

Tiger Chi gritted his teeth to stabilize his spirit that was being hit continuously like a glass wall:

"Steel Armor Breathing Technique... can one actually live and coexist with the black fog? But why is Master, Master, imprisoned here? Where is his body!?" Qin Qi sighed:

"Your master died a long time ago, and what remains here are only the fragments of his consciousness before his death. In order to refine the black fog, he used himself as an experiment and sacrificed himself to leave me an important path for exploration."

Tiger Chi's gaze towards the glass wall then became a little bolder.

The free black fog will constantly change its shape, but the black fog in front of us will reveal the vague figure of a man every time it gathers together, as if the fragments of the master's consciousness are playing a role in it.

"Master," Tiger Chi said, "I haven't learned the Steel Armor Breathing Technique. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask Jian Dan to come over for this occasion?"

Qin Qi: "It's too late. Jian Dan is not at the headquarters now. Even if he came, it would be useless."

Tiger Chi was still confused when he suddenly discovered something unbelievable - one of the three layers of glass walls that imprisoned the black fog was missing at some point.

The outermost wall was not destroyed by any force, nor did it collapse on its own, but it disappeared suddenly. What was even more terrifying was that I gradually felt in my consciousness that there had always been only two walls here.

"Tiger idiot, back off!"

Qin Qi shouted loudly and thrust his palm forward at the same time, colliding suddenly with the palm of the black mist figure that had broken through the two layers of glass walls!
A burning smell was immediately felt. There was an inert gas between the glass walls that could absorb impacts. However, as the two layers of glass walls were broken through by the black mist figure, the inert gas also started to burn during the fight between him and Qin Qi.

The black mist figure seemed to have reversed time. After he and Qin Qi clashed, spider web-like cracks appeared on the two layers of glass wall behind him and they exploded and shattered. Countless fragments flew outwards, and Hu Chi used his internal strength to resist and was not seriously injured.

"Master!"

Tiger Chi, who wanted to go up and help, was glared back to his original position by Qin Qi's vicious eyes.

"Cough, cough! It's true..." A line of blood flowed from the corner of Qin Qi's mouth, "This black mist synchronized with Alexander's time ability from me, and since he has no body, he can use it better..."

Hu Chi had ten thousand questions in his mind. Why did the master lock up such a dangerous black fog in the basement of the headquarters? Why did he choose to go into seclusion in the west training ground even though he knew that the other party might have the ability to synchronize time?

However, more violent thunder and lightning erupted between the master and the black mist figure. In order not to cause trouble for the master, Tiger Chi could only move as far back as possible.

A pure white flash that devoured consciousness finally exploded, and when Tiger Chi opened his eyes again, his master and the black mist figure were nowhere to be seen. All that remained were the collapsed two-layer glass wall in front of him and a half-faulty lighting lamp above his head with its internal wiring tubes exposed.

Hu Chi was stunned in the spot. His memory became very unclear. He was not even sure whether he had seen his master today...

"Ask Jian Dan to synchronize the energy here!"

The master's voice rippled in the empty underground space, and seemed to be a distant echo that transcended time.

"You can't see me because I locked myself and the enemy in the last second of yours! Tell Jian Dan and Doctor Li about this, they will work together to resolve the crisis..."

The voice faded away, but every word struck Tiger Chi's heart like a nail.

Tiger Chi stumbled out of the 18th underground floor and entered the elevator, but he didn't notice that one of the scars on his face was missing. The timeline around here has become very unstable...
