Those who reincarnate must die.

Keiko Matsumoto didn't even have time to react! She suddenly felt the scenery change before her eyes, and when she came to her senses, she was already on the rooftop of the bar. Then, an unbearable feeling of dizziness and nausea hit her, and she started dry heaving while holding onto a nearby GG sign...

During the abduction, although Zhang Lang managed to protect her neck from breaking, the excessive acceleration still caused this woman of average physical condition considerable pain, as if she had just ridden an extremely thrilling roller coaster...

Zhang Lang had no patience and grabbed her hair directly: "Are you Shen Jingyelang's woman?"

Keiko Matsumoto screamed in pain, glaring at him fiercely: "You dare touch me knowing that? You can't survive in this city anymore. I advise you to let me go and run away as soon as possible. Of course, even if you leave, your family and friends will suffer hellish torment because of you!"

"That's perfect!" Zhang Lang said coldly, "Call Shen Jingyelang and tell him you've been kidnapped. Let him come and rescue you!"

As the eldest son of the Shenjing family, Shenjing Yelang owns many businesses and has almost no fixed address. He spends the night in a different place every night, and his official address is usually not accessible... Therefore, Zhang Lang can only come to find the people he cares about!

"What exactly do you want?" Matsumoto Keiko had never seen such an arrogant person before. "That's the eldest son of the Shinjo family, that's..."

"Hurry up and hit her!" Zhang Lang increased the pressure, almost tearing her scalp off. The woman, in pain, hurriedly begged for mercy: "I'll hit you, I'll hit you..."

Zhang Lang loosened his grip a little, and Matsumoto Keiko trembled as she reached into her bosom, but suddenly pulled out a small pistol!

She thought she had done it very discreetly and acted swiftly, leaving no time for anyone to react. Little did she know that her little movements were, in Zhang Lang's eyes, not only obvious but also very slow!

Zhang Lang snorted coldly, watching slowly as Matsumoto Keiko fired a shot at his forehead, then calmly reached out and blocked the bullet!

At the same time, he activated his tit-for-tat skill!

According to the skill description, this move reflects attacks, rather than dealing damage. In other words, if his hand is shot, Matsumoto Keiko's hand will also suffer an equivalent shot! Zhang Lang can withstand it, but this ordinary woman can't! Losing a hand is a small punishment for this disobedient woman!

"How could this be?" After the gunshot rang out, Matsumoto Keiko looked surprised. She saw Zhang Lang's hand blocking his eyes, his fist clenched, but he was unharmed!

"He caught the bullet? He's a superhuman..." Matsumoto Keiko was terrified and took two steps back, trembling.

Zhang Lang frowned as well. Why wasn't this woman injured? Were his skills not working?

"Monster!" Matsumoto Keiko roared, raising her hand and firing her gun. This time, Zhang Lang didn't even bother to block, letting the bullets hit his body and face. The effect of the "an eye for an eye" ability should not have worn off yet, but Matsumoto Keiko was still unharmed!

Zhang Lang frowned, noticing that Matsumoto Keiko had dropped her gun and was about to run away. Prioritizing the mission, he swiftly caught up, grabbed the woman's hair, and lifted her off the ground. The woman screamed in pain, finally giving in, and took out her phone to dial Shen Jingyelang's number.

"Night Wolf... I've been kidnapped..." The woman turned on speakerphone as soon as the call connected, her voice trembling with tears as she pleaded, "I don't know who it was, they suddenly tied me up on the roof of a bar... Please come and save me..."

"Save you?" A slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: "What time do you think this is? My younger siblings are all staring at my head... That must be an assassin they sent. Are you trying to kill me?"

"But Night Wolf... he really wants to kill me! If you don't come, I'm doomed..."

"Hey, hey..." The voice on the other end was laced with nonchalant laziness: "Whether you live or die, what does it have to do with me? You don't actually think that just because you slept with me, you're my woman, do you? Please, I've slept with at least eight hundred, if not a thousand. If every single one of them came to me with a problem, wouldn't I be overwhelmed?"

"Night Wolf..." Keiko's face showed despair. "Even for the sake of how long we've known each other... please... I beg you..."

"If you don't have anything else to say, don't bother me!" Shen Jingye Lang interrupted Huizi's plea. "That assassin, you're listening too, aren't you? If you want to kill me, sending a woman like this won't work! I don't know which of my lovely younger siblings sent you, but this old-fashioned method is too outdated! But I believe we'll have a chance to meet in the next few days! Just look forward to it!"

After he finished speaking, the other end of the phone hung up.

"How could this happen..." Hearing the deathly silence on the phone, Keiko knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down her face.

"I've known him for ten years, we've been together since we were teenagers..." Keiko muttered through gritted teeth, "I'd do anything for him, even help him find other women... But this guy, this guy actually..."

As she spoke, Matsumoto Keiko's expression turned ferocious. She turned her head and looked at Zhang Lang with bloodshot eyes: "You want to kill him, right? I know where he is right now! Since this damned guy doesn't care about my life or death, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As she spoke, the woman took out her phone and showed Zhang Lang a location address.

"He's at the chemical plant in the south of the city!" Matsumoto Keiko said, looking at Zhang Lang. "That guy's been up to something lately; he's always there at night!"

Zhang Lang glanced at the map, memorized the directions, and nodded to Matsumoto Keiko: "Thank you for your cooperation!" After saying that, he jumped off the building and headed south.

Before coming, he had already studied the map of Munezaki City. With his water attribute now exceeding 100, he knew it by heart and could roughly tell where he was just by glancing at the directions. He was too lazy to take a ride or anything, and simply leaped over the busy high-rise buildings. With the speed boost, he could achieve excellent cushioning whether he was jumping or landing. Although he wasn't completely silent like a feline, he wouldn't disturb the neighbors either.

As he rushed south towards the city, Zhang Lang wondered to himself, "Xu, what's going on? Why aren't my skills working?"

"I was a little worried before..." Xu sighed, "Your 'Return to Simplicity' effect is a bit too strong!"

"Is it because of this?" Zhang Lang asked in surprise.

"It should be right!" Xu explained, "The reason why the enhancement of techniques has such a clear effect and cooldown time is ultimately because it utilizes the power of the altar!"

"Although both appear to grant abilities to reincarnators, blood enhancement is an enhancement of the reincarnator's own abilities and can be used without the altar... However, the powerful effects of skill enhancement are executed by the altar through commands issued by the reincarnator! Therefore, theoretically, the altar can block skill enhancement, but it cannot strip the reincarnator of their blood enhancement..."

"To put it in perspective, the former is like muscles you've built yourself, while the latter is like magic that draws upon the energy of heaven and earth... Right now, your physique is completely immune to magic, so you can't draw upon the altar's power at all. The altar's power has no effect on you, so naturally, you can't use your skills!"

"You can't do it either?" Zhang Lang frowned. "Using the power of the black fire, it's like teleporting and strengthening me, allowing me to use skills..."

"You think this altar is my personal property?" Xu said irritably. "I'm already exhausted from stealing your power so you can travel through time and receive rewards! How could I possibly satisfy so many of your demands..."

"Weapon effects require gloves to activate, and skills are unusable..." Zhang Lang sighed, "Does arriving at the altar mean I can only rely on blood enhancements in combat?"

"Not necessarily!" Xu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Remember that Fire Enhancement Free Conversion skill you drew before? Use that to turn your skill into Blood Enhancement and see what happens! It might work!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lang's eyes lit up. He stopped on the rooftop of a tall building, opened his badge, and activated the enhancement!

It can transform the enhancement of skills into the enhancement of blood!

Give it a try!

As Zhang Lang performed his actions, the description of the "An Eye for an Eye" skill changed!

Enhancement type: Blood Enhancement

Reward Name: An Eye for an Eye

Rarity: Uncommon

Effect: When activated, all attacks you receive will be reflected back to the attacker, causing the attacker to suffer the same type and intensity of attack in the same location! The effect's duration and cooldown are affected by the Earth element; the current duration is approximately ten seconds, and the cooldown is approximately one minute.

Note: Attacks that are blocked, shielded, or armored will not be reflected. This skill only applies to attacks received by the user!

Note: Come on, try hitting me! We might as well die together!

…………

The moment he received this enhancement, Zhang Lang felt a tingling sensation!

This is an experience you won't have when you acquire skill enhancements!

Zhang Lang knew that this time, he had truly gained this enhancement!

However, according to the description, nothing else has changed, but the duration and cooldown of this effect are no longer as accurate as before. They have become approximate and are also affected by the earth element.

"These are traces of a transformation from Technique Enhancement!" Xu said. "The effects, cooldowns, and durations of Technique Enhancement are all optimized. With Blood Enhancement, however, it scales with attribute; if the attribute isn't high enough, the effect should be somewhat diminished. But your Earth attribute is now nearly 140 points, already at the maximum standard, so the cooldown and duration of this move are roughly the same as when it was Technique Enhancement!"

"A discounted price is better than nothing!" Zhang Lang nodded, then sighed, "Looks like I can only use three skills now!"

"Not necessarily!" Xu chuckled. "Your Free Transformation is only of the Rare level; there should be higher levels and room for improvement! Just think of it as having three skill slots, and explore them slowly later!"

Having solved the skill problem, Zhang Lang continued his race and soon arrived at the southern outskirts of Zongqi City, where he quickly found the chemical plant that Huizi had mentioned.

The factory gate was unlocked, the yard was full of weeds, there were overturned oil tanks and colorful unidentified liquids everywhere, the factory buildings were pitch black, some of the windows were broken, it looked like a long-abandoned factory, the kind of place that even children wouldn't dare to go into when playing hide-and-seek.

"The eldest son of the Shenjing family is actually staying in a place like this?" Xu thought to Zhang Lang. "Is he making drugs, or researching chemical weapons or something? Do all these gangster sons like such dangerous things?"

"Whatever it is..." Zhang Lang walked straight into the factory: "The information that woman gave us should be accurate!"

Inside the factory at night, not even moonlight could penetrate; it was pitch black. Zhang Lang, however, was still able to see clearly thanks to his exceptional wood attribute. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked up. He saw a tangled mess of pipes connected to the six-meter-high ceiling.

Just as he was wondering, with a loud bang, the lights in the dark factory suddenly came on, and the instantaneous bright light made Zhang Lang squint.

"Clang clang clang clang..." The sound of guns being cocked came from all directions. At least fifty fully armed bodyguards appeared in the second-floor corridor, holding various firearms and aiming down at Zhang Lang!

"Hehehe..." A familiar laugh came from directly in front of Zhang Lang, exactly the same as the one he had just heard on Hui Zi's phone call!

Zhang Lang looked up and saw a tall, thin man with a pale face and a messy beard, surrounded by numerous bodyguards, walking out. Needless to say, this guy was the eldest of the heirs, Shen Jingyelang!

"I was prepared to welcome a whole team of mercenaries, but it turns out it's just you alone!" Night Wolf leaned on the rusty iron railing, looking down at Zhang Lang. "I must say, I admire your courage!"

As he spoke, the guy took out his phone and started a video call: "Hey, Huizi, that guy really came knocking... that was fast!" He then pointed the screen at Zhang Lang: "So, want to say hello to the kind person who gave you the information?"

On the screen was Matsushita Keiko. Her tear tracks were still wet, but her sorrow was no longer visible. Instead, she mocked Zhang Lang through the screen, saying, "Did you really think I would betray Night Wolf? I knew about your successor war a long time ago. Night Wolf anticipated someone would come looking for trouble with me, so he had me deliberately lure you here! And you actually thanked me for cooperating? How adorably naive! How can you be a mercenary like this?"

Faced with the woman's sarcastic remarks, Zhang Lang showed no anger, but instead smiled and said, "Thank you for your cooperation! Of all the things I said to you, only this one was from the bottom of my heart!"
