Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

The person making the call was Bai Yongxu.

Normally, Bai Yongxu wouldn't suddenly contact Jiang Nian, especially not recently.

Since Jiang Nian returned from abroad, she has been on vacation.

Previously, his superiors had specifically told him not to disturb him unless it was something important, so that Jiang Nian could have better future development and relax properly.

Unexpectedly, new changes came in such a short period of time.

Judging from Bai Yongxu's appearance, the matter was obviously very serious, and it had come to the point where he had no choice but to take action.

"Yes, the technique was very professional, and the timing was perfect."

"Jiang Nian, we need your help to retrieve the equipment, and more importantly, to find this hidden danger."

“The other side is likely prepared, and... you may even be their target.” Bai Yongxu’s voice was extremely serious.

"I understand. When do we leave?"

Jiang Nian did not hesitate at all.

"Someone will pick you up early tomorrow morning."

"We'll discuss the details in person." Bai Yongxu paused, seemingly hesitant, but considering the urgency of the situation, he spoke up anyway.

"In addition, there has been new progress at the gravity laboratory. Its stability has been greatly improved, and it can now be safely operated at a maximum of 2.8 times."

"The doctors hope you will act within your capabilities and never take any more risks."

"Especially during this period, as I just said, overseas activities have never stopped, and have even intervened in our Dragon Kingdom."

"There will be more and more crises to come, so you absolutely cannot have any accidents because of training, otherwise we can't say what might happen."

Ever since Bai Yongxu saw Jiang Nian unceremoniously increase the gravity to five times and start training, putting his entire body under the weight, he has been extremely worried.

After all, Jiang Nian is their number one combat power here.

If something were to happen to him, and foreign forces were to intervene again, their losses would certainly be enormous.

Losing Jiang Nian for the sake of a grandmaster is by no means a wise move.

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Jiang Nian hung up the phone and looked out the window.

A storm is brewing, and it seems the peaceful days are about to come to an end.

Although he had been aware of it for some time, he did not expect that foreign forces would intervene so quickly.

They've already entered the Dragon Kingdom so quickly, and are even following in his footsteps.

Moreover, the clones and other people entered the lab and stole all sorts of weapons that were the latest developments in the laboratory.

He turned and went back to the set without disturbing anyone, simply watching from afar as the group of energetic young people worked hard for their dreams.

"I don't know how long this mission will last. I just hope that Wei Zheng and the others can withstand it before I come back."

However, Jiang Nian slowly shook his head again.

He had already spoken with Mr. Wang beforehand, and he would hand over all the follow-up matters to Mr. Wang. This way, he wouldn't have to deal with Mr. Zhao from Xinghui Capital, and they could prevent him from interfering again.

Although Wei Zheng and his group did not know or have met President Wang, Jiang Nian still had some understanding of him.

I know that when we are truly in danger, Mr. Wang will definitely intervene.

That evening, after returning to the villa, Jiang Nian went straight to the basement.

The gravity training chamber, after inspection and reinforcement, stands quietly, its silver-white exterior gleaming with a cold luster.

Originally, Bai Yongxu and his team had sent a special person back to the laboratory to deliver this gravity device.

During this period, he personally brought back the improved version.

Bai Yongxu hadn't left yet, and stood beside Jiang Nian, slowly introducing:
"This improved version has been specifically tested by the laboratory and by higher-ups, and it has been confirmed that it will not cause accidents on its own like before."

"In the past, the gravity experiment was suspended halfway through, which made the group of doctoral researchers very angry. So they started to give up halfway through, which led to all sorts of problems."

"But now that you need to use it, we specifically asked them to fix all the problems. Now you can use it naturally, and there won't be any major problems if there are any unexpected issues."

"However, due to the limitations, we have completely removed the five times gravity, and you can only increase it to three times gravity at most now."

Bai Yongxu pointed to the button.

Five times the gravity is truly terrifying; Jiang Nian would probably find it equally difficult to withstand now.

"alright."

Jiang Nian was slightly dissatisfied.

After all, when he was hit by that force before, he had experienced the most familiar feeling of five times gravity.

The feeling of having the highest success rate is that, under that pressure, I might actually have a chance to break through to the Grandmaster realm.

However, he could understand Bai Yongxu and the others' concerns.

If he really did that, the people in the lab would probably be extremely angry.

I still need to save them some face.

"That's good. As for work?"

Jiang Nian turned his gaze to Bai Yongxu.

"The most important thing is still that group of foreign forces."

"Currently, we have very little information about them. We only know that there are many capital groups and families in China that are in contact with them."

"This time, we don't know where the information was leaked from, but they sent people to steal a batch of weapons and equipment that we brought back from abroad."

"This batch of weapons and equipment, in a sense, could cause great harm to martial artists and was a means of self-defense for us, but now they have taken it away."

"But because we know too little, I will send you and a specialist to investigate this situation tomorrow."

"Try not to make a move," Bai Yongxu said to Jiang Nian in a low voice.

"Foreign forces have acquired weapons capable of harming martial artists. Although it is uncertain whether these weapons will be effective against you, for safety reasons, you should not act rashly."

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Nian nodded slowly, understanding Bai Yongxu and the others' concerns.

My main task is still to gather information.

"That's fine then. I'll head out now; I have quite a few meetings to attend to."

Bai Yongxu rubbed his head and slowly left.

Jiang Nian personally saw him out. Looking at Bai Yongxu's greasy hair and heavy dark circles under his eyes, it was clear that he hadn't slept well during this period.

Although he put it simply, it seems that this group of foreign forces has a very large influence, otherwise Bai Yongxu wouldn't be so tired that he can't sleep, and he wouldn't even have to go back to work overtime at this time.

He returned to his training room.

Jiang Nian activated the device, gradually increasing the gravity to 2.5 times.

A buzzing sound rang out, and heavy pressure enveloped the entire body once again.

However, unlike the almost brutal squeezing sensation of the past, this gravity field felt more stable and delicate.

Jiang Nian closed his eyes, and instead of immediately circulating his internal energy to resist the pressure as he usually did, he carefully felt the subtle changes in every muscle and every bone under the pressure.

He guided his internal energy, no longer with sweeping, powerful strikes, but rather like the most precise carving knife, flowing slowly within his body.

It smooths out the meridians that are slightly sluggish due to gravity, and nourishes the cells that bear a huge burden.

Under this extreme pressure, his control over his own power is climbing to a whole new level. The barrier that prevented him from stepping into the Grandmaster realm seems to have become clearer and weaker.

Two hours later, Jiang Nian slowly finished his practice, his body steaming with heat, but his eyes were exceptionally clear.

For him, 2.5 times the force of gravity was no longer an unbearable burden, but rather an effective whetstone.

"I didn't expect it to actually work. Those PhDs in the lab are really amazing."

After leaving the gravity training, Jiang Nian slowly stretched his muscles and bones.

"It did have some effect, although the effect was not very strong, but he could feel that his strength had increased by a few points compared to before."

"If I continue training like this, I might be able to break through to the Grandmaster level simply by training continuously."

"However, he was still somewhat hesitant. This pace and efficiency were too slow, and the final hurdle required a powerful impact to have any chance of being overcome."

The next morning, a black SUV pulled up in front of the villa right on time.

After Jiang Nian got into the car, she noticed that in addition to the driver, there were two men sitting upright with sharp auras and keen eyes, clearly elite personnel.

"Mr. Jiang, I am the team leader for this operation, codename Mountain Eagle."

The man in the passenger seat turned around, saluted Jiang Nian with a respectful attitude, but his eyes held a hint of scrutiny.

Jiang Nian's name was well-known within the organization, but seeing him in person made him seem even more unfathomable.

It was a kind of power that was restrained to the extreme.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Jiang Nian nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two people in the car besides Shan Ying and the driver.

Seemingly casual, yet they had already taken in their basic condition.

"These men are indeed worthy of being personally dispatched by Bai Yongxu. The calluses on their hands prove that they are all firearms experts, possibly with a military background, and the aura they exude is also..."

“You are all martial artists, and your strength is not low.”

However, he frowned slightly and looked at Mountain Eagle and the other two people.

They sensed that their aura contained something else entirely.

The vehicle drove out of the city and sped southwest along the predetermined route.

At first, everything was normal; the only sounds inside the car were the roar of the engine and the occasional radio communication.

The mountain eagle periodically checked the route and situation with the rear base.

However, after driving for about an hour, Jiang Nian's keen senses detected a slight discord.

The route the vehicle took did not seem to be the optimal choice, as some sections of the road appeared too secluded.

At the same time, his extraordinary senses vaguely detected that vehicles were following him at a distance, neither too close nor too far.

The skill is so refined that it is easily overlooked unless one consciously perceives it.

“Captain Mountain Eagle,” Jiang Nian suddenly spoke, his voice steady, “is our current route the best option?”

The mountain eagle seemed to pause for a moment, then checked its navigation and communicator, explaining:
"Mr. Jiang, we just received a notification from the rear that there is an emergency traffic control ahead on the original route. We will detour through this section, which is expected to take 20 minutes longer than originally planned, but it will be safer."

This explanation was reasonable, but Jiang Nian's doubts were not dispelled.

He didn't ask any more questions, but instead spread his divine sense further out, paying close attention to the surrounding movements.

After driving for another half hour, the vehicle entered a winding mountain road, with dense forests on both sides and few people around.

at this time!

"Bang! Bang!"

Two gunshots, though silenced, were still clearly audible!
The left front and left rear tires of the SUV burst instantly!
The vehicle instantly went out of control, making a screeching screeching sound, and slid violently toward the cliff on the left!

"careful!"

The driver exclaimed in alarm and desperately tried to keep the steering wheel steady, but the vehicle with the flat tire was extremely dangerous on the winding mountain road!
Almost at the same instant the gunshot rang out, Jiang Nian moved!
His left hand moved with lightning speed, precisely pressing a pressure point on the back of the driver's neck. The driver fainted without even uttering a sound, preventing a more serious operational error caused by panic.

At the same time, Jiang Nian's right hand suddenly gripped the steering wheel, and his feet pressed the brake and accelerator at a clever angle.

Using the vehicle's inertia due to loss of control, the car was forced to complete an extremely dangerous drift.

The tires were emitting blue smoke as they came to a precarious stop on the edge of a cliff, with half of the wheels almost suspended in mid-air!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye!

The two team members inside the car, the moment the vehicle went out of control, their eyes flashed with ferocity, and with perfect coordination, they simultaneously pulled out black guns from their waists that were not standard issue equipment, and pointed them at Jiang Nian without hesitation!

Their movements were lightning fast; they were clearly highly trained assassins.

All that respect and obedience before was a facade!

"As expected!" Jiang Nian snorted coldly. Before the other party could pull the trigger, he reached out with both hands as if taking something out of a bag, and accurately grabbed the wrists of the two men holding the guns!

Click!

A sickening cracking sound rang out, and the wrists of the two men were instantly crushed to pieces! The two strange guns clattered to the ground under the car.

"Ah!" The excruciating pain caused the two to let out short screams.

At the same time, the two black sedans that were following them also braked suddenly and opened their doors.

Seven or eight figures dressed in black combat uniforms, wearing masks, and carrying automatic weapons nimbly jumped off the vehicle and used the vehicle door as cover.

Bullets rained down on the SUV like a storm!

The bullets clanged as they hit the car, and the glass was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

What's even more alarming is the sound of helicopters roaring overhead, getting closer and closer!
"There is danger indeed!"

Jiang Nian stared at the sky above him in disbelief.

He had already sensed that something was off about the atmosphere around them, and he felt that someone was hiding nearby.

Unexpectedly, this suspicion was not unfounded, and they did indeed appear.

However, he was surprised by how the group of helicopters next to him had appeared.

His sense of aura was extremely strong; he even noticed the cars that had silently appeared behind him.

But he hadn't noticed the enormous size of the helicopter and the loud noise it made when it took off.

"Could it be that the strength of these foreigners has increased once again?"

Just as he was feeling confused and began to think, a gunshot suddenly rang in his ears.

Then a black bullet shot out from the side and pierced Jiang Nian's temple.

At this moment, it was only three centimeters away from his temple.

Jiang Nian subconsciously circulated his internal energy, and with the powerful circulation of his internal energy, he actually managed to stop the black bullet.

However, he noticed that his internal energy was being rapidly depleted.

The black bullet, made of some unknown material, was able to absorb internal energy and quickly neutralize it.

If my strength hadn't improved, I probably wouldn't have been able to successfully defend myself.

Unexpectedly, three more identical black bullets flew toward him.

Jiang Nian had no choice but to quickly dodge, while simultaneously looking in the direction from which the gun had been fired.

It was the Mountain Eagle! (End of Chapter)
