Before he could finish speaking, Jiao Hongyuan turned his gaze to him and interrupted him in a completely flat tone:
"Finish?"
"You may have forgotten that when the order was placed, Kangde Company clearly stated that it must be kept confidential and absolutely not leaked."
"How do you do things? You just swaggered through the edge of the city and barged right in?"
"The Sixth Agency has now intervened in the investigation. Do you realize how big of a problem this is?"
Yun Ye scoffed, "What do you intend to do?"
Jiao Hongyuan smiled.
"I've heard that the 'Heavenly Mother Insect' can give birth to special insect species depending on what it's fed. I'm very curious about this. Is it true?"
Yun Ye frowned and, without hesitation, raised his left hand, which was covered by an arm glove, and pointed it at Jiao Hongyuan and the other man.
However, at the very moment he raised his arm, Jiao Hongyuan's robust body had already vanished from the spot.
Duan Kaiping didn't even realize what had happened. In the blink of an eye, Jiao Hongyuan had already appeared behind Yun Ye, flicking his right hand to shake off the blood.
"Golden Wind... White Rainbow Sword..." Yun Ye managed to utter the last words in a hoarse voice before his head and left hand slid off and fell to the ground.
The headless corpse still stood upright, the cuts on its neck and arms showing no sharp edges, as if it had been severed by an extremely sharp and peerless divine weapon.
“Master…this…” Duan Kaiping swallowed hard, somewhat frightened.
“These desperados are too crude in both their character and their actions. They’re lucky to have died at my hands,” Jiao Hongyuan said slowly.
"Master, what about the others?" Duan Kaiping asked worriedly.
“Of course we’ll go down with him. The matter with Kangde Company has already been taken care of.”
Jiao Hongyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the three-meter-high container in front of him. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to be hearing the breathing of some kind of ferocious beast coming from inside.
"Kaiping, where are the things I asked you to prepare?"
Duan Kaiping respectfully replied, "Everything is ready. All the cockroaches are farmed; none were purchased from outside. The personnel are also ready; they are all officially recorded as dead or missing..."
Jiao Hongyuan nodded in satisfaction: "Prepare more, and after a while, once the higher-ups' attention has shifted away from Qingcheng, we can start planning."
"Yes," Duan Kaiping replied.
"By the way, Master, didn't my junior brother come back with you?"
"He's still in Fengcheng participating in the qualifying rounds; he'll have to play a few more matches..."
……
In front of a building in Dongcheng District.
Xue Jing, dressed in casual clothes suitable for activities, raised his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring midday sun and looked up at the building.
"The Hidden Dragon Dojo is on the seventeenth floor, let's go up!"
The cat sat on Xue Jing's shoulder, pointing upwards with its paw, urging him on.
……
Please read on! Please read on!
Chapter 26 Charm Technique Lv3, leave the rest to me.
"So handsome, such a tall little brother..."
"Wow, there's a cat sitting on my shoulder, how cute!"
"Why are even cats so beautiful? Let me take a picture from this angle. It will definitely go viral if I post it online."
……
In the bustling streets of Dongcheng District, towering buildings stand side by side. Xue Jing stands on the street with his cat, his overly young face somewhat out of place with his surroundings.
You can faintly hear several beautiful women dressed in office lady outfits and with exquisite makeup whispering in the distance, and their charm experience on the panel is constantly increasing.
Someone has developed feelings for you; Charm skill experience points +1.
Someone has developed feelings for you; Charm skill experience points +1.

Someone is towards you...
[Charm skill upgraded to Lv3 (0/500)]
After closing the panel, Xue Jing asked:
"Are you sure I won't get beaten to death on the spot if I go up there and challenge them like this?"
The cat first looked at the boy with a puzzled expression, then sniffed his scent.
He suddenly seems more handsome, and he smells even better...
Shaking her head without giving it much thought, the cat snorted, "Since I, the sect leader, have asked you to come directly, I must be confident."
"In fact, this is the correct way to open up the Hidden Dragon Dojo."
Xue Jing asked curiously, "Oh? What do you mean?"
The cat's tail brushed against Xue Jing's cheek and wrapped around his neck.
“Disciples in the dojo are also divided into levels. Those who only get in by paying money, even if they are taught seriously, will not be able to make a name for themselves if they lack talent. If the dojo wants to maintain its reputation, it has to rely on the real disciples who are truly talented.”
"As for how to select new disciples... each dojo has its own methods, and one of the methods for selecting new disciples at Canglong Dojo is 'self-recommendation'."
"In the path of martial arts, mentality is especially important. Only with an invincible spirit can one unleash invincible punches. If you are confident that you have enough talent and dare to show it to the dojo, you will have the opportunity to become an entry disciple of the Hidden Dragon Dojo."
"What could better showcase your character and talent than 'challenging the competition'?"
The cat jokingly said:
“You haven’t practiced martial arts much, yet you dare to challenge the school. With such invincible talent and amazing wisdom, Old Man Li will surely appreciate it.”
Xue Jing said speechlessly, "What if I get beaten up after I go up there?"
"Will not."
The cat shook its head.
"Dojos also care about their reputation and face, so they usually only send people of similar age to accept the challenge."
"Although you have only just learned to use your strength, your physical fitness is incredibly strong, which is very rare at your age. I don't think your peers in the Hidden Dragon Dojo would be your match."
"Besides, what we want is not to successfully challenge the dojo. Even if you get beaten up after going up, as long as the people in the dojo see your talent and potential, then our goal will be achieved."
"Anyway, stop thinking about it and just go in. Tell them you want to challenge us, and leave the rest to me!"
"Cat urged."
"..."
Xue Jing nodded. "Alright."
After all, it was a free opportunity to enter the dojo, and he was very confident in himself.
He opened the panel and took a look.
[Fitness Lv4 (139/1200)]
【Health Preservation Lv2 (109/500)】
【Cooking Skill Lv3 (12/800)】
[Running Lv4 (873/1200)]
【Charm Technique Lv3 (12/800)】
[Aiming for Lv2 (169/500)]
【Fighting Lv1 (196/300)】
【Mobility Lv1 (12/300)】
During these three days, although he spent most of his time studying how to use breathing to mobilize his strength, he also gained a lot of experience in other skills.
Among them, the one who benefited the most from fitness was that he improved from Lv3 to Lv4. His physical fitness was enhanced to a considerable extent again. His bench press weight had reached 200 kilograms. Although he had not tested his punching power, he estimated that it was at least 240 kilograms.
If you use your full strength, you can unleash an incredibly powerful punch.
He's now afraid he might lose control and accidentally kill someone.
I took my cat into the office building, got into the elevator, and pressed the button for the seventeenth floor.
This office building is a Grade A office building, located in the prime Dongcheng District where land is extremely valuable, and the rent is very expensive. However, Canglong Dojo was able to book an entire floor, an area of 2,000 square meters. Xue Jing roughly calculated that the monthly rent would be at least 400,000 Zhuxia coins, which can be said to be quite wealthy.
The elevator arrived at the seventeenth floor. As soon as the doors opened, there was a long corridor. At the end of the corridor was an automatic transparent door with a plaque above it that read four large, elegant characters: "Hidden Dragon Dojo".
Xue Jing led the cat through the gate. As soon as they entered, the cat said, "You just go and challenge the dojo, leave the rest to me," before jumping off his shoulder and rushing into the dojo, disappearing without a trace.
"Challenge them? How do you even do that? I've never done it before..."
Xue Jing thought for a moment, then walked to the front desk not far from the entrance, where a female receptionist with a good figure and appearance was sitting.
"This lady."
Xue Jing stepped forward, a smile as warm as the winter sun appearing on his handsome face.
The girl was secretly playing on her phone when she suddenly heard a sound and jumped in fright. She quickly looked up and said, "Yes, what is it...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she was stunned when she saw the boy in front of her.
She saw a sea of flowers, a constellation of stars, her first love whose face she had long forgotten, and the embodiment of all that is beautiful in the world…
[Someone has developed a strong liking for you; Charm skill experience points +54]
"..." Looking at the information that popped up on the panel, Xue Jing paused and suppressed the smile on his lips.
The girl then came to her senses, blushed, lowered her head, stood up, and said awkwardly, "Hello...how can I help you?"
As she spoke, she glanced up and secretly observed Xue Jing.
My God... How can there be such a beautiful person in this world...
Xue Jing hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh... could you please inform them that I want to challenge them?"
