Lin Qiye frowned. "Li Kengqiang? That name sounds familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before..."

Suddenly, Lin Qiye had a flash of inspiration and remembered the name!

Li Kengqiang, the second commander-in-chief of the Great Xia Night Watch!

But wasn't he already dead in battle? How could he be appearing before them again?!

and many more……

He just mentioned Special Squad 001, the Heroic Spirits.

Heroic spirits?

Could it be...?

Lin Qiye looked at Li Kengqiang, who smiled and said, "Yes, it's pretty much what you think."

"The Great Xia Night Watch 001 Special Squad is composed of the heroic spirits of the past Night Watch Commanders who died in battle, including the predecessors of the Night Watch."

"The Night Watchmen have a predecessor? What kind of organization was that?" Lin Qiye asked curiously.

Li Kengqiang said with a smile, "You'll know the answer to that later. The problem I need to solve now is with you."

"Oh, no, the main thing is to solve your problem. After all, she possesses immortality, so even I can't hurt her."

"Lin Qiye, come and get a beating. I can't let my carefully prepared gift go to waste."

After saying that, Li Kengqiang flashed forward and attacked Lin Qiye.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Qiye drew his sword, Zhanbai, and slashed at his opponent.

Seeing that Li Kengqiang was about to attack Lin Qiye after only a few words, Jialan grabbed the Heavenly Sword and attacked.

Let alone the second commander-in-chief of the Night Watch of the Great Xia Dynasty, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he would not be allowed to harm Lin Qiye!

Lin Qiye and Jialan formed a couple, with one responsible for all the damage output and the other acting as a tank to absorb all the damage.

The two worked together seamlessly, so well that even Li Kengqiang, who was at the pinnacle of human skill, found them somewhat difficult to deal with.

Li Kengqiang chuckled, "Heh, it seems I won't be able to take down Lin Qiye without dealing with you."

hum!

A flash of white light, and Garan vanished instantly.

Lin Qiye asked nervously, "What did you do to her?"

Li Kengqiang said with a smile, "Don't rush, let's send her to play in the virtual world for a while, and then we'll have a fair duel."

Lin Qiye said coldly, "I have just broken through to Klein, while you are a well-established human ceiling. What a fair duel."

Li Kengqiang reached out and grabbed a spear that flew from afar and landed in his palm.

"If we don't gang up on you, then it's a fair fight. This is my territory, and I'm in charge. Come on, let me see how much strength you, the captain of the Nightfall Squad, really have."

……

Two and a half hours later.

Li Kengqiang carried Lin Qiye, who was covered in bruises, to an open space.

Four bath tubs filled with various precious medicinal herbs were placed on the open ground.

Without saying a word, Li Kengqiang threw Lin Qiye into the hole.

On the other side, Wang Qing, covered in sweat, walked over carrying one in each hand and threw Gu Tianchen and Shen Qingzhu into the medicinal bath tub in the same way.

"Wow, how did you get so disheveled?"

Li Kengqiang lowered his sunglasses and looked at Wang Qing.

Wang Qing waved her hand and said, "Don't even mention it, that kid surnamed Gu is a complete freak."

"If I hit him too hard, I'm afraid I'll ruin his life; if I hit him too lightly, it won't work. It took me a lot of effort to force him into this state."

As they were talking, Tang Yusheng walked over carrying a bloodied, mangled body, looking somewhat guilty, with Jiang Er floating behind him with a resentful expression.

"Holy crap, you went way too far! How did you manage to knock his soul out of his body?" Li Kengqiang looked at Jiang Er in shock.

Jiang Er said angrily, "I'm not his soul, but his soul is almost gone!"

Li Kengqiang said with a smile, "Hehe, I know, Jiang Er. I just like to make a few jokes, don't mind me."

"You...know me?" Jiang Er looked at Li Kengqiang with a puzzled expression.

“Of course,” Li Kengqiang glanced at the bloodied and mangled figure on the ground, barely alive, “if I’m not mistaken, this should be An Qingyu, right?”

Tang Yusheng scratched his head sheepishly.

Li Kengqiang squatted down to check the injuries. "Xiao Tang, you went too far. An Qingyu has extremely strong regenerative abilities, and you beat her up like this. Wouldn't everyone else be turned into mincemeat?"

"I should have let you fight Garan. You two fought like crazy and nothing happened."

Jialan, who was helping Lin Qiye get back on his feet, rolled her eyes.

Tang Yusheng asked awkwardly, "Is...is there any hope?"

Li Kengqiang said with a smile, "Don't worry, as long as there's still a breath left, I can save you. After I treat your wounds, you can soak in the water like the others."

Of the four wooden tubs, Gu Tianchen was the first to wake up.

Soaking in precious medicinal herbs, coupled with the valuable experience gained from a thrilling battle with Wang Qing, allowed Gu Tianchen to stabilize his Klein realm.

Gu Tianchen opened his eyes and looked at Tang Yusheng, who was standing not far away with his arms crossed and a bulky pair of headphones around his neck. The power within him surged involuntarily.

Tang Yusheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, also sensed the provocation from the depths of his bloodline and suddenly opened his eyes to look at Gu Tianchen.

The two locked eyes, their sparks clashing violently in mid-air, almost solidifying!

A faint but powerful aura of the Wu Clan emanated from Gu Tianchen's body, and the medicinal liquid in the wooden tub continued to surge and boil!

Bored, Wang Qing saw Gu Tianchen wake up and look at Tang Yusheng. Remembering the special connection between the two, she became excited.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Wang Qing clenched her fists, muttered to herself, and glanced back and forth between the two of them.

"Tsk," Li Kengqiang patted Wang Qing, "You just love watching the drama unfold, don't you?"

"They're bound to have a showdown sooner or later, but not now."

Li Kengqiang stepped forward, blocking the eye contact between the two.

"Hey, you're awake. You're in good health, young man. You absorbed every last drop of my medicinal bath," Li Kengqiang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Brother Qiang," Gu Tianchen said, clasping his hands in thanks.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. I have plenty of medicinal herbs here, as long as you want to make them," Li Kengqiang replied.

After a while, Lin Qiye and the other two also woke up.

Li Kengqiang, as the host, gave them a brief introduction to the situation here and the test that their Nightfall Squad would have to undergo next.

"Brother Gun, what exactly is the next test?" Gu Tianchen asked curiously.

"The next test will be very difficult; it is the key for you to break through from the Klein realm to the ceiling."

"I call this process the 'heart barrier'."

Chapter 475 Virtual World

"The psychological barrier?"

The entire Nightfall Squad looked at Li Kengqiang with puzzled expressions.

Li Kengqiang adjusted his sunglasses and said with a smile, "Throughout history, there have been many Klein-level experts, but the ceiling of human strength is very limited."

"The reason lies in the difficulty of overcoming this mental barrier. To break through it, one must experience the extremes of pain, anger, sorrow, and joy in the world..."

"The Klein Realm and the human ceiling are no different in terms of mental strength. The reason why the latter is stronger than the former lies in this."

Li Kengqiang pointed to his heart and said.

“I understand, so our mission on this island is to overcome our mental barriers,” Lin Qiye nodded and said.

"Yes."

Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow. "Since it's about breaking through the mental barrier, just let those Klein-level cultivators come. Why did you call me here?"

Wang Qing smiled slightly, "Little brother, among you all, you have the heaviest knot in your heart."

"If you can overcome your mental barrier, you will transform into a golden dragon from this day forward, and your future will be limitless."

"But if you can't get over this mental hurdle, your level will most likely stop here. Think about it carefully."

Wang Qing immediately saw through Shen Qingzhu's state of mind. The latter casually took out a Yellow Crane Tower cigarette, lit it for herself, and fell silent.

"I see you've soaked enough, so let's get back to business and move on to the next part," Li Kengqiang said with a smile.

"What's next? It's not going to be another round of you three getting completely crushed and humiliated, is it?" Gu Tianchen asked with a suspicious look.

"Hey, torturing you guys is just a side thing; the main purpose is to test your teamwork skills."

"Next, I will use my Forbidden Ruins ability to construct a virtual world, allowing your Nightfall Squad to return to Huaihai City in the 1980s to resolve a crisis."

"Mission failed, and you will not be able to leave this island."

Good luck, everyone.

Before the Nightfall group could ask any questions, Li Kengqiang had already activated his Forbidden Ruins ability to virtually reconstruct the world, placing them in a virtual world.

The Nightfall Squad found themselves in Huaihai City in the 1980s, completely bewildered.

"It feels so real, like we've traveled back to the 1980s," Jiang Er exclaimed.

Garan asked, "What is our mission?"

An Qingyu adjusted her glasses and said, "Since it's a crisis in Huaihai City, it must be related to the Night Watch and mysterious events. I'll go find the Night Watch 007 team stationed in Huaihai City; they must have files on them."

"Then I'll first inscribe a magical protective array in the city, and also take a look at the situation inside Huaihai City," Lin Qiye said.

"Where are you two?"

Lin Qiye and An Qingyu looked at Gu Tianchen and Shen Qingzhu and asked.

Gu Tianchen thought for a moment and replied seriously, "I plan to find a place to eat a bowl of beef noodles first."
