Chapter 9

"Roar!"

Early in the morning, Lin Feng began practicing the Wild Ox Technique in the back garden.

The Wild Ox Technique is a genuine martial art that not only hones the body, especially through internal training, but also includes combat techniques, making it a combination of martial arts and martial skills.

In fact, many martial arts today are like this, integrating martial skills.

Lin Feng activated the Wild Ox Technique, and his entire body, especially his internal organs, emitted a series of unusual sounds, much like the roar of a wild ox. Under the influence of the Wild Ox Technique, his internal organs were further strengthened.

This is the essence of internal training! Compared to ordinary external techniques, martial arts with internal training are considered quite good. Of course, the Wild Ox Technique is not a particularly profound martial art.

After finishing the Wild Ox Technique, Lin Feng opened the gene fusion device panel to check his physical condition.

Physical Constitution: 8.46

Strength: 8.21

Agility: 6.56

Skills: Basic Fist Technique (Proficient, continuous practice can lead to mastery), Wild Ox Technique (Great Success, comprehended the true meaning of the wild ox)

Gene Fusion: Wild Ox Gene (Fusion Degree 100%, fully fused)

Gene Capacity: 6%

"Huh? It seems my physical constitution and strength have increased a bit?"

Lin Feng suddenly noticed something unusual. He remembered clearly that his original physical constitution was 8.41, but now it had become 8.46, and his strength, which was originally 8.18, had now become 8.21.

Although the increase was not significant, it was just a slight improvement. However, his Wild Ox Gene had already completed its growth, so this increase in physical constitution and strength should not be due to the Wild Ox Gene.

Apart from the Wild Ox Gene, Lin Feng had been practicing the Wild Ox Technique recently.

"Could it be that the Wild Ox Technique has improved my physical constitution and strength? Yes, the Wild Ox Technique is a martial art, and it also includes internal training. Just like how ordinary people improve their physical fitness through martial arts, I can also improve my physical fitness through martial arts!"

Lin Feng was very surprised. This was an unexpected joy. He had previously overlooked it, although the improvement in physical fitness through martial arts practice seemed negligible compared to the direct enhancement from gene fusion. However, it had a different significance. If Lin Feng's gene capacity reached its limit and he could no longer fuse other genes, he could still improve through martial arts.

"Third Brother, come in quickly, the Zhao family has sent someone."

Eldest Brother Lin Yong had a serious look on his face. Lin Feng stopped practicing and followed his brother into the living room.

At this moment, only three people had come to the living room. The leader was a middle-aged man in black, who had a shaved head. Lin Feng was facing away from him and couldn't see his face clearly.

Lin Feng could see his father, Lin Xiong, sitting opposite the man, seemingly under immense pressure, with sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Father."

Lin Feng and Lin Yong hurried forward.

"Was it you who crippled my nephew, Zhao Ping?"

"Whoosh."

As soon as the black-clad man spoke, Lin Feng felt an overwhelming pressure, especially from his sharp gaze, which was like a sharp blade, making Lin Feng dare not look directly.

It was truly terrifying, just from a single glance.

"Is he a superhuman?"

Lin Feng immediately understood that this black-clad man must be Zhao Ping's uncle, the superhuman strongman Zhao Dongsheng!

Lin Feng had only heard of superhuman strongmen before, and even children knew about them, but this was the first time he had truly seen one.

No matter how one described a superhuman strongman, it would not be an exaggeration. Zhao Dongsheng was just sitting there, motionless, but with a single glance, he seemed to transform into a fierce beast, making Lin Feng's entire body tremble.

At this moment, Lin Feng felt as if a wild ox was roaring in his heart, subtly breaking free from the superhuman strongman's oppressive aura. He said in a deep voice, "You are a superhuman strongman who has broken the gene lock. You should know what Zhao Ping has done. Who is right and who is wrong, don't you know?"

Although it was just speaking, saying this sentence felt like Lin Feng had used all his strength. He finally understood why his father's forehead was sweating. Under the gaze of a superhuman strongman, even speaking was a luxury.

Zhao Dongsheng was somewhat surprised that Lin Feng could break free from his oppressive aura. Wasn't Lin Feng supposed to be a sickly person?

However, Zhao Dongsheng was not concerned. He laughed loudly, "I don't care who is right or wrong. I don't have a son, but Zhao Ping is almost like my son. I fight with fierce beasts in the outer domain, and my family should be protected. But now, Zhao Ping has been crippled. Whoever crippled Zhao Ping, I will cripple them too, and your entire Lin family will be buried with Zhao Ping!"

As soon as Zhao Dongsheng spoke, a fierce and murderous aura seemed to emanate from him. He must have killed countless fierce beasts in the outer domain to accumulate such a terrifying murderous aura.

Lin Feng vaguely knew that the families of superhuman strongmen seemed to receive some special protection, but he did not expect Zhao Dongsheng to be so domineering, demanding that the Lin family be buried with Zhao Ping.

Lin Feng did not know how to counter. Law? In the face of the law, superhuman strongmen have special privileges. Morality? If morality had any effect, Zhao Dongsheng would not have come to the Lin family today.

Facing the superhuman strongman Zhao Dongsheng, Lin Feng suddenly felt deeply powerless. This was the overwhelming power of absolute strength, which seemed to have overturned his previous understanding.

Faced with such overwhelming power, even the entire Lin family was powerless to resist.

"Ha ha, Zhao Dongsheng, you are too domineering!"

Suddenly, a loud laugh broke the heavy atmosphere. Everyone looked toward the door, and two figures walked in, one of whom was slightly younger and wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform, who hurried to Lin Feng.

"Third Brother, Eldest Brother, Father, Mother, are you all okay?"

Lin Hai, Lin Feng's second brother, had finally returned.

"Second Brother."

"Second Brother, you're finally back."

Seeing Lin Hai return, Lin Father and Lin Mother breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, Mother, General Long has also come."

Lin Hai quickly moved aside, revealing a man with a major general's rank behind him, who was the General Long Lin Hai had mentioned.

Lin Father was startled and quickly stood up, saying, "General Long, how could I trouble you to come in person?"

This General Long was the general who had recognized Lin Hai and was also a superhuman strongman. Lin Xiong's confidence in Lin Hai was actually due to this General Long behind Lin Hai.

"Lin Hai said your family encountered a small problem related to Zhao Dongsheng. How could I not come in person? Zhao Dongsheng, you can be domineering, but do you want to violate the superhuman agreement?"

Upon seeing General Long, Zhao Dongsheng's expression changed slightly, but he still coldly snorted, "General Long, this is not something your military can interfere with, right?"

"How can it not be? Lin Hai is a lieutenant colonel in our military, and the Lin family is a military family. You, a superhuman, bullying a military family, even the highest military committee would not ignore it."

"Highest military committee? General Long, you don't need to scare me with your military. Since General Long is here, let's sit down and talk. I came back from the outer domain specially, shouldn't I get some explanation?"

"What explanation do you want? You signed the superhuman agreement and have special privileges, but only you have those privileges. Your nephew, Zhao Ping, does not. He forcibly kidnapped a Lin family girl and had ulterior motives, which is enough to land him in prison for more than ten years. Is that an explanation?"

"You... General Long, you are from the military, but I'm not afraid of you."

"Yes, you are not afraid of me. You have your own power behind you. I came here in a private capacity. Do you want to test my strength?"

A flash of anger appeared in Zhao Dongsheng's eyes. He was a superhuman strongman, and General Long was also a superhuman strongman, and even stronger than him. If they were to fight, it would be a humiliation for him.

"General Long, are you really going to interfere in this matter?"

Zhao Dongsheng stared intently at General Long and asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, I will definitely interfere in this matter!"

The atmosphere between the two was tense and oppressive.

After a few minutes, Zhao Dongsheng finally said, "Fine, General Long, I'll give you this face today."

With that, Zhao Dongsheng got up and left.

Lin Father and Lin Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure from a superhuman strongman was truly immense. No matter how skilled Lin Xiong was in business and how eloquent he was, in front of a superhuman strongman, even speaking was a luxury.

"General Long, will Zhao Dongsheng let this go?"

Lin Xiong was still somewhat worried.

General Long pondered for a moment and said, "Zhao Dongsheng will go back to the outer domain. He can't stay in Zhonghai for long. But the Zhao family won't let this go. They might use some business or political power to strike the Lin family. You need to be prepared."

Lin Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's a fortunate thing amidst the misfortune. As long as Zhao Dongsheng doesn't directly intervene, the Lin Group can still handle it."

"It's not that simple. The influence of superhuman strongmen is strong, and the Zhao family can leverage a lot of power. But don't worry, I will also call some old friends to protect the Lin Group."

"Thank you very much, General Long. I don't know how to thank you."

This time, General Long had traveled a long distance to come to Zhonghai, which showed how much he valued Lin Hai.

"Ha ha, no need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank your son. I'll leave now and not disturb your family reunion, but this afternoon, I have to take Lin Hai back. He is still on a special mission. If it weren't for the urgency of your situation, I wouldn't have let him come back."

With that, General Long left, showing a very reasonable and understanding attitude.

Thus, the family reunited. Lin Hai had not returned in eight years, and this time, he could only stay for a few hours.

Lin Xiong also asked about Lin Hai's situation in the military. Lin Hai did not answer in detail but said that General Long valued him highly and that he was currently on a secret mission. If successful, he would likely achieve great success.

Lin Hai did not say much, although he and Lin Feng did not communicate much, he was also very concerned about Lin Feng and was trying to find ways to treat Lin Feng's illness in the military.

The family was happy, but it did not last long. Lin Hai soon left, returning to the military with General Long.

Looking at Lin Hai's strong back, Lin Feng felt a slight sadness in his heart.

Although his father did not say it, his eldest brother and his parents were silent when Lin Hai left, and Lin Feng could also understand a bit.

Lin Hai's mission in the military was probably not that simple.

Or rather, it might be a matter of risking his life. Otherwise, why would a mere lieutenant colonel have General Long come in person and even risk offending the superhuman strongman Zhao Dongsheng?

However, Lin Feng knew very well that his second brother had no choice. Who could blame the Lin family for not having a superhuman strongman? Without a superhuman strongman to protect them, they could only fight to the death. Otherwise, just today, the Lin family would have faced a dire situation with the Zhao family.
