A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

The night owl stood in a hidden, suspended maintenance passage diagonally above the stage, looking down at the shimmering, star-like ocean of fluorescent light below.

The enormous roar almost lifted the roof off the stadium, but all he could hear was the steady, excited beating of his own heart.

"The target has been confirmed to be in the background. The energy field is stable and there is no abnormal movement," the strategist said from the side. He also had the cultivation of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and was skilled in formations and strategies.

"Has that expert from the Sky Eagle Kingdom arrived yet?" Night Owl asked.

"We've arrived. Inside ventilation shaft number 3. He's very quiet, barely emitting any energy fluctuations. The stealth technology of the Sky Eagle Nation is indeed unique."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Night Owl's lips.

While the evolution slots promised privately by the envoys of the Eagle Nation were certainly tempting, Night Owl never fully trusted these arrogant Westerners.

They provided technical support and sent so-called advisors, ultimately wanting to see how much value Eclipse Moon—or rather, Night Owl—actually had, and whether it could become a suitable pawn for them in the Far East.

Tonight is the perfect stage to showcase our value.

Three Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection experts, along with energy interference devices pre-positioned at key points in the venue and those few "small gifts"... were enough to give the Great Xia Kingdom's military, especially those arrogant Spirit Group experts, an unforgettable "surprise."

As for Ye Heng, who suddenly appeared.

There was too little information; it was like a fog.

But even if they are strong, can they be stronger than three Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection experts working together? Moreover, they don't want a direct fight to the death. Their core target is Lin Ruofei, to create enough shocking chaos, and to test the effectiveness of the new gadgets provided by the Sky Eagle Kingdom in actual combat.

He needed to test the attitude of that expert from the Eagle Kingdom.

Is it genuine cooperation, or just a passive observation, or even... a betrayal at a crucial moment?

With that in mind, Night Owl adjusted the communication frequency, switching to the channel that was a private, encrypted connection with the expert from the Sky Eagle Kingdom. The channel was connected, with only a slight background noise.

"Mr. White," Night Owl said in fluent but accented English.

"How was the atmosphere? It's just as good as your champion's tour in the United States, isn't it?" He tried to start with a lighthearted topic.

After a brief silence, a deep male voice responded: "There are many people. The energy field... is very active, and also chaotic. It's a good... testing ground."

proving ground.

The word made Night Owl's eyelids twitch slightly. Sure enough, in the eyes of these people from the Eagle Nation, all of this, including the lives of tens of thousands of people, was just part of an experiment.

"Of course, there's no better stage. Our 'performance' is about to begin. As planned, I will first instigate a commotion in the East Stand to attract and divide the Spirit Group's defensive forces. The strategist will activate a pre-set array to disrupt communications and energy detection. At that time, a brief energy vacuum and chaos will occur in the central area where Lin Ruofei is located... That will be the best time to make our move."

He paused, then asked casually, "Mr. White, how is the 'swarm' unit you brought? Do you need us to create a better release environment for you during the operation?"

The so-called "swarm" unit is a miniature autonomous attack robot provided by the Sky Eagle Kingdom. It is said to be equipped with the latest neural interference and energy extraction technology, and is designed specifically to deal with superhumans, especially Eastern cultivators who are good at group combat and energy manipulation.

The owl was eager to see its power for himself.

"The swarm is in position. I will determine the release time; proceed according to plan."

"Understood. With Mr. White in charge, we are naturally at ease. However, there seems to be a new face on the Spirit Group's side, named Ye Heng, whose strength is unknown."

"It's alright. A powerful stranger is a valuable observation target in itself. If he appears, the swarm will prioritize collecting his bioenergy samples and combat data. Under the swarm's attack, he will have no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy."

Prioritize collecting samples and data? The owl's eyes flickered slightly.

Does this mean that White might even want Ye Heng to make a move?

"I understand," Night Owl said slowly.

……

on the stage.

The spotlights, like a cascading galaxy, all converged on Lin Ruofei.

She stood in the center of the stage, her silver-white fringed dress fluttering slightly with the airflow in the venue. The tiny crystals refracted countless rays of light, making her seem to be enveloped in a hazy halo.

Below the stage, a sea of ​​glow sticks waved by tens of thousands of people surged forth, the undulating waves of sound like the tide.

Lin Ruofei closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Following Ye Heng's instructions, she focused her mind on her dantian, guiding the cool, newly generated true energy from the previous night to flow slowly.

As her inner energy circulated, her heartbeat, which had been slightly accelerated due to nervousness, gradually calmed down. The deafening noise from the outside world seemed to be separated by an invisible membrane, becoming distant and blurry.

The intro music just started playing, which was her new album's title track, "Stardust Whispers".

She raised the microphone and parted her lips slightly.

She could feel that as the song flowed, the true energy within her body seemed to resonate gently, subtly blending an indescribable sense of coolness and tranquility into the sound waves.

The previously noisy singing and cheering from the audience subtly changed a few seconds after she began to sing.

The fervent cheers did not diminish, but some of the sharp, excited shouts seemed to have been soothed somewhat, and more people's eyes were focused intently on the stage, and their arms, which had been swaying gently to the melody, became much more synchronized.

An invisible, gentle field, centered on Lin Ruofei, quietly spread out with the singing.

As she sang the chorus, the melody rose and her emotions burst forth.

"Gathering wishes from the shattered stardust—"

Tens of thousands of people sang along almost simultaneously, creating a massive sound that nearly lifted the roof off the venue.

On the east side of the venue, in the shadows of a fire escape leading to the backstage area, Sirius leaned against the cold wall, a miniature communication headset plugged into his ear.

"Everything is normal in the East District," Sirius said into the microphone hidden in his collar.

"West District, no abnormalities." Ye Beiyuan's cool voice rang out in the earpiece.

"Arctic, Miss Lin's singing... is a bit eerie. I'm quite far from the stage, but I feel surprisingly calm listening to it, not a bit agitated at all?"

Sirius joked.

After a two-second silence in the earpiece, Ye Beiyuan's calm voice came through: "It was a senior who taught her the cultivation method. Her physique is special, and her singing voice already contains a trace of spiritual charm. Focus on your duty and don't be careless. Remember the task Senior Ye gave us; you absolutely cannot make a mistake."

"Understood." Sirius grinned, said no more, and looked at a disc at his feet.

"Attention! The target has been captured!" Ye Heng's voice suddenly rang out.
