"it is good!"
The bearded man looked at the footage monitored by the drone, gritted his teeth, and agreed.
As the boss, he only provided money and some technical talents, but the actual decision-making power still lay with the military leaders.
Moreover, he was very envious of Du Ruo's fighting ability. With Du Ruo as an experimental material, he could better determine the limits of their drug research and development.
And most importantly, if I could obtain the mysterious cultivation method from the East from Du Ruo, then...
Thinking of this, the bearded man decided to go up himself, but thinking of Du Ruo's fighting ability just now, he still valued his life and took some more protective measures.
"Mr. Du, please ~ our boss is waiting for you inside."
Outside, someone came out from the crowd that the two men had just brought out, made a gesture to Du Ruo to invite him in.
After the fight, Du Ruo seemed to have no intention of fighting again. He raised his sword in one hand and walked towards the building complex.
The reason why he took action just now was not only to let the other party call for support, but also because he disliked the two of them.
At that time, he ran a B&B, and his strength was not yet enough to ignore the official authorities, so he had been restraining himself. Now that he is abroad, there is no need to restrain himself anymore.
Moreover, there has been enough accumulated negative emotions during this period of time. It is a good time to move around to prevent the two of them from thinking that their strength has undergone a qualitative change and jumping around and being an eyesore.
Only one person led the way, while the others went to deal with the two people on the ground.
The man took Du Ruo to the largest building. There was nothing interesting about the house, except for some armed patrolmen and guards.
However, after entering the building, it seemed a bit cumbersome, with various access control systems and the need to take the elevator.
Originally, there was someone who was going to do a security search on Du Ruo, but after Du Ruo slapped him against the wall, no one mentioned it again afterwards.
Unexpectedly, the elevator did not go down, but up.
When Du Ruo used his spiritual power to look, he could clearly see a large amount of "essence" fire jumping underneath.
"Ding!"
The elevator stopped at the eighth floor and the door slowly opened. The person leading the way did not walk out but just made a gesture of invitation.
"Haha, welcome to our mysterious and powerful friend from the East~"
The bearded man was waiting for Du Ruo outside the elevator. When Du Ruo appeared, he immediately laughed and welcomed her.
Of course, if he could be closer, not more than ten meters away, and if he was surrounded by many strong men, he might appear more sincere.
The bearded man was indeed very happy. He had just been trying to send someone to invite Du Ruo, but he didn't expect that Du Ruo would actually follow him. He fiddled with the access control and other things along the way, and five or six minutes passed in this way.
Originally, he had planned to go down and invite him in person, but that would inevitably make him too close to Du Ruo, and his safety would not be guaranteed. He didn't know whether Du Ruo was arrogant or fearless, so he just followed him like this.
It gave him confidence in procrastination.
In five minutes, the first group of fully armed soldiers were already on the arriving helicopter.
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not interested in listening to that."
Du Ruo walked out of the elevator, glanced at the big men, and then looked at the bearded man.
No movement within a radius of hundreds of meters could escape Du Ruo's ears, so he naturally heard clearly what the bearded man and the military personnel said just now. Now he knew that the large force should be here soon, so he didn't want to listen to any nonsense.
"Mr. Du, we can give you money, status, and strength. Why don't we watch something interesting first?"
The bearded man just smiled and was not in a hurry. He knew that Du Ruo had fallen into the trap. If he was really not interested, how could he have followed in?
After saying that, without waiting for Du Ruo to answer, he took out a remote control and pressed it.
This floor is a bit strange. After getting out of the elevator, there is a passage. The passage is quite wide, with several windows on both sides. One side of the passage is a wall, and the other side is thick bulletproof glass.
As the bearded man pressed the button, the bulletproof glass was slowly opened, allowing people to see the scene behind the glass.
Behind the glass are two separated areas. One is a laboratory-like room with various instruments and people in white coats busy at work, but the most eye-catching thing is a steel chair in the middle.
At this moment, there was a person lying on the chair, his limbs and torso were firmly fixed to the chair, and many catheters had been inserted into his body.
The other area is a rather traditional training ground, filled with various sandbags and wooden men.
"This is a Chinese citizen who has practiced karate for many years. He voluntarily came to experience our company's new medicine."
The bearded man saw Du Ruo looking over and started explaining to him. As he spoke, a man in a white coat was injecting medicine into the person on the chair. The medicine was injected directly into the heart. After the injection, he began to adjust the instrument and the various medicines in the catheters on the side were injected into the body at the same time.
Du Ruo did not respond, but instead used his spiritual power to observe the other party's current condition. He was also very curious about how powerful these potions were.
Du Ruo saw that the man on the chair had a burning "spiritual fire" but it was relatively calm. However, as the potion was injected, the "spiritual" fire around this man began to burn violently as if gasoline was poured into him.
Then the man on the chair began to twist and struggle unnaturally. It was visible to the naked eye that his blood vessels bulged and his muscle fibers broke and then reorganized.
Seeing this scene, Du Ruo couldn't help but think of what he looked like when his body underwent the second transformation.
It is really similar to this scene, but theirs is faster.
Du Ruo subconsciously glanced at the man's face and found that the muscles on his face were also breaking and reorganizing. The man's eyes were open, but there was not much pain on his face, but his pupils were dilated.
Du Ruo looked at the tubes again and immediately understood everything. These tubes were used for pain relief and nutrition supplement. Perhaps it was more than just pain relief. There might be some poison in them that could make the nervous system numb or dull.
It didn't take long at all for the muscle fibers in the man's body to be broken and reorganized. The man on the chair seemed to have changed his appearance. His body grew several centimeters taller, and his muscles became more angular and beautiful.
"You only need one tube of medicine, without any exercise, to achieve the same results as an average person would achieve in three years of fitness, and there are no side effects."
The bearded man smiled and explained.
The restraints on the metal chair were opened, and the man climbed up, then was taken to a training room nearby to familiarize himself with his strength.
But everything was not over yet. Another man took off his clothes and lay on the bed again. This time he was a black man with very strong muscles. He looked as beautiful as the muscles on the little girl just now.
Then it was another familiar process, but this time the changes were more intense. But when it was over, the black man's body grew taller again and his muscles changed again.
“This is his second injection, and it’s been just over a week since his last injection. After this injection, he will only need another week to get the third injection.
This one injection can save three years of training time, and this is just one of our stages. There will be more medicines that will produce better effects and eventually turn people into the strongest weapons."
Having said that, the bearded man looked at Du Ruo again, trying to see shock or desire on Du Ruo's face.
It's a pity that Du Ruo still has no expression on his face. Du Ruo is not an ignorant newbie. He even understands the side effects of strengthening the body better than the bearded man.
"Your so-called strongest weapon is the one that I slapped in front of me?"
Du Ruo glanced at the black man who broke a sandbag with one punch and broke a wooden man with one kick in the training room, then turned around and said lightly.
The words were not spoken loudly, but were extremely insulting, making everything the bearded man had just said in vain.
"Of course not. We discovered that this potion has an upper limit. Ordinary people can only use it three times, while well-trained soldiers can use it five times. If one has systematically practiced martial arts and strengthened his body since childhood, he can use it eight times.
In other words, people with stronger physical fitness will not only have better results, but will also be able to withstand more drug injections.
There are even people who have practiced mysterious oriental martial arts and can withstand fifteen doses of the drug."
The bearded man became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally looked at Du Ruo with shining eyes:
"Mr. Du's physical fitness is something we have never seen before. Before he was injected with the drug, he was already able to crush people who had been injected eight times. Maybe Mr. Du can survive twenty or even thirty injections of the drug. This will be an unprecedented breakthrough and may even allow us to explore the limits of the human body."
The bearded man's eloquence was impeccable and very contagious. After he finished speaking, even the other big men next to him couldn't help but look sideways at Du Ruo.
"Really? Then can you let me fight with the man you mentioned who endured fifteen times?"
Even Du Ruo became interested after hearing this, but his interest was not in the potion, but in the person he was talking about.
Du Ruo felt that the bearded man must be talking about Zhang Aimin.
"This……"
The bearded man hesitated.
"Promise him that reinforcements have arrived. We are completely surrounded. I will have someone take Zhang to the open space in front. This will be a good opportunity to see how strong he is. It would be best if Zhang could defeat and capture him directly."
But at this moment, the voice of the military man sounded in his headphones.
"Okay, let's fight in the open space in front. You take the elevator down first, he will be here soon."
The bearded man received the order and agreed to Du Ruo's request without hesitation.
"Zhang? Is it really Zhang Aimin?"
Although the voice rang in the ears of the bearded man, Du Ruo heard it clearly and muttered to himself.
"No need to take the elevator."
Du Ruo glanced at the bearded man, walked to the window next to the elevator, looked up, and saw a helicopter hovering above the building in the distance. This was the eighth floor, and he didn't intend to go through so much trouble. He was already impatient to take action.
"That's bulletproof..."
The bearded man saw Du Ruo's appearance and thought that Du Ruo wanted to jump down directly. Just as he was about to remind him, he heard a loud noise.
“Ka-boom!!!”
Du Ruo just raised his leg and walked away, stepping on the so-called bulletproof glass. The bulletproof glass cracked into a spider web shape, and then the window frame and the whole thing were stepped on by Du Ruo and fell directly from the eighth floor, taking Du Ruo with him.
Seeing this, the bearded man hurried over and looked down. He saw that Du Ruo had stepped on the window and fell to the ground, with broken glass scattered all over the ground. However, Du Ruo continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened. Falling from the height of eight floors did not cause any impact on Du Ruo at all.
"Boss, shall we go to the open space together?"
A big man next to the bearded man pressed the elevator button and started asking.
"Why are you going to the open space? Are you going to be shot to death? Go to the command room."
The bearded man said unhappily that the medicine was effective, but the various side effects could not be eliminated, which resulted in many of the strong men here having strong limbs but simple minds.
Du Ruo slowly walked to the center of the open space and heard heavy footsteps.
I saw a man walking out from the shadows of a building, with heavy shackles on his hands and feet.
The person who came was Zhang Aimin.
However, Zhang Aimin's eyes were hollow and unfocused at this moment, and his body shape was completely different from what was described in the information. He had become taller and more muscular, and his stature was more than five times that of when they first met.
This made Du Ruo wonder whether the other party could still retain some of his strength by withdrawing the money.
In traditional martial arts, the bigger the body, the better, especially in internal martial arts. In addition to the hammering and smashing of the fists, the core of the mind and intention is also the important body movement. If the body movement is not good, it is useless to have greater strength.
"Kaka~~"
When Zhang Aimin arrived at the open space, the man next to him hurriedly stepped back, pressing the remote control in his hand as he stepped back. The shackles on Zhang Aimin's hands and feet all opened automatically and fell to the ground.
"Go ahead, your target is him."
A voice sounded, and then Du Ruo noticed a purple light falling on him.
Du Ruo noticed it, but did not avoid it. He also wanted to see what was going on with Zhang Aimin at this moment.
As for rescuing him or taking him back, Du Ruo had never thought about it, because in his eyes, Zhang Aimin was already extremely exhausted, his time was running out, and there was no consciousness in his eyes. If he was rescued, he would just be a walking corpse.
"Roar!"
The purple light shone on Du Ruo, and Zhang Aimin's eyes turned red as if he had received a signal. He let out a roar like a wild beast, and then strode towards Du Ruo.
Although Zhang Aimin is huge in size, his movements are unexpectedly agile. When he was still more than ten meters away from Du Ruo, he had already raised his legs and stepped down, with his fists raised high, his movements just like an old farmer hoeing the field with a hoe raised high and about to smash it down.
This move is exactly the one that Zhang Aimin practices most easily in the Xinyi martial art - the ground-kicking style.
But at this time, Zhang Aimin did not have a hoe in his hand, but only two clenched fists smashing down on Du Ruo's head.
This move was unparalleled in terms of momentum, speed, and strength. Coupled with his huge body, it was like a giant ape falling from the sky, bringing huge wind pressure and smashing down on Du Ruo's head.
If it were an ordinary person, there would be no possibility of escaping from such momentum.
However, Du Ruo threw away the sword in his hand, then shrank his body, and then he exerted force from the ground. He was like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue, and he knew the flaw of the opponent caused by his huge size, and he slipped through the gap between Zhang Aimin's fists with his hands.
One punch hit Zhang Aimin's wrist and the other hit his chest, which were the Xingyi Snake Form and Tongbei Qinlong Hand.
Although Du Ruo's two punches were just pure muscle strength, they were also extremely powerful. With one punch, Zhang Aimin's huge body directly retreated backwards.
Du Ruo's attack just now used the snake-shaped concept, but his punch was a bare-handed snatch-the-blade move of the Tongbei Fist and the Dragon-catching Hand.
The most powerful technique for snatching a blade with bare hands is none other than the Tongbei Qinlong Shou. The so-called "Qianlong is caught at the seven-inch point". If Zhang Aimin's hands are a hammer, then the wrist is the seven-inch position, which is also the weakest point when attacking.
Du Ruo attacked later but was the first to arrive. His punch hit the wrist. No matter how powerful Zhang Aimin's punch was, it couldn't have any effect.
Even though he knocked Zhang Aimin back with one punch, Du Ruo was also shocked. You know, his body had undergone a transformation, and his power and physical strength were far beyond that of ordinary people. However, he could only knock Zhang Aimin back and didn't even cause much damage.
This made Du Ruo even more excited. The feeling of exerting all his strength was so refreshing.
Sure enough, no matter how much breath like a sword or how many flying swords there are, they are not as exciting as using fists.
"Roar!!"
Zhang Aimin took a few steps back, stood still and then moved forward again. This time he used the Hate the Earth Without Rings technique from Xinyiquan. Although the name sounds nice, it is actually just swinging the fist from bottom to top.
Du Ruo also used the snake-shaped concept and combined it with various boxing techniques to deal with it.
Every time he struck back, he was the first to arrive and hit Zhang Aimin's weak points.
Du Ruo did not think about killing the opponent at once, but let Zhang Aimin show off his moves to his heart's content.
Perhaps this is Zhang Aimin's most glorious and most glorious moment. It should be said that this is the most glorious moment of traditional martial arts. Du Ruo wants the other party to give full play to his skills, and he also wants to try to wake him up.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The two of them were one moving and one still. Du Ruo was like a stubborn nail stuck in the same place, while Zhang Aimin was like a hammer, swinging continuously.
The two men fought for a while, and the open space looked like it had been plowed, with lawn tiles flying everywhere.
But it was different from what Du Ruo had thought. Under his snake-like form, Zhang Aimin could not use his boxing skills freely. On the contrary, he felt more and more frustrated.
Every attack was countered by the opponent, and every attack was broken. Du Ruo was never really hit once.
"Ah!!!! Du Ruo, show your true strength, this is my last move!!!"
After Zhang Aimin was repelled again, this time it was no longer a beast roar, but a hoarse shout.
At this time, Du Ruo looked over and saw that Zhang Aimin's eyes were no longer numb and lifeless, and he seemed to have regained a bit of clarity. But before Du Ruo could reply, Zhang Aimin's huge body squatted down like a monkey, and then there was a loud noise.
"boom!!"
Zhang Aimin's muscles and bones made a loud noise, and then his whole body was covered by a layer of red air.
The red air wave was several meters high, and finally condensed into a huge shadow that enveloped Zhang Aimin's body. This shadow was like an armored monkey, holding two huge hammers, and staring at Du Ruo.
"Is this Qi? No, Qi requires a balance of essence, energy and spirit. Are you burning the essence to form substance?"
When Du Ruo saw the red mist around Zhang Aimin from the information, he also thought it was the same "qi" as him. But now it seems that the other party's "essence, energy and spirit" is already full of essence, but the spirit is weakened, and it is impossible to achieve a balance to form "qi".
So there is only one possibility, that is, the opponent is burning the actual "essence" fire formed by life. It is obvious that this will be the opponent's last blow. No wonder the opponent can wake up. Under the flushing of such "essence", the side effects of the drug will also be weakened.
"My move is a tiger pounce!!!"
Zhang Aimin did not attack immediately, but shouted.
When Du Ruo heard this, his eyes flickered.
The most powerful moves of Xinyi are hammering and smashing, but the tiger style is pushing. Considering the opponent's current situation where he is burning his energy and blood to complete the last move, the most unlikely move is pushing.
Unless the other party is thinking... to use a life-burning tiger pounce to push him out of the heavy encirclement, does this mean he is willing to sacrifice his life to save him?
"Hahaha, you underestimated me. Why did you use the tiger style for the last move? I want to try your ground-kicking style."
Du Ruo burst into laughter and decided not to hold back. As he spoke, his body surged out like a stream of red water. The water quickly enveloped Du Ruo. A giant red bear stood opposite the giant ape holding a hammer.
The giant ape was just a condensation of burning red mist, but Duruo's red giant bear was as real as a substance, even its hair was extremely clear, and even the giant bear's eyes occasionally flashed a hint of intelligence.
"drink!!!"
The giant ape roared, then jumped up, raised his two hammers and smashed towards the giant bear in the ground-kicking style.
"boom!!!"
The giant bear didn't block or evade, but leaned forward. It was clearly a collision of two insubstantial bodies, but the resulting air waves were like a missile attack, lifting the ground completely and rushing to both sides.
Along with the dust raised by the loud noise, a huge figure was blown out at a speed faster than the dust, and then another figure followed closely behind.
The huge figure was of course Zhang Aimin. After being knocked away by Du Ruo, he stopped only after hitting the wall, leaving a huge hole in the wall.
"sharp!"
Zhang Aimin was covered in blood, his entire chest had completely collapsed, and when he opened his mouth to speak, some fragments of internal organs spewed out of his mouth.
However, Du Ruo, who was standing in front of him, was completely unharmed, and even his breathing was not disordered.
"This is specially brought for you."
Du Ruo took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Aimin.
Zhang Aimin looked at the photo in Du Ruo's hand and wanted to reach out to take it, but when he saw the blood on his hand, he paused and retracted his hand.
The photo shows a whole field of flowers, surrounding a small mound of earth like a sea of flowers, and there seems to be wind blowing.
“Thank…thank you~~”
Zhang Aimin had a smile on his face, which, although very ugly, revealed tenderness.
"These sons of bitches, Mr. Du, I... I'm not going to be polite for now!!"
The strong vitality made Zhang Aimin seem to be able to move his body again. Although his chest cavity had completely collapsed, it still supported his body.
After taking one last look at the photo, Zhang Aimin actually stood up and rushed towards the fully armed soldiers who were surrounding him.
"Shoot! Shoot quickly!!!"
There was a loud shout, followed by the sound of rifle fire.
