Chapter 32

Two days later, at Ye Yun's home.

In the dead of night, a faint, almost imperceptible sound came from the lock, and the door was gently opened.

Three soldiers, fully armed in special combat gear, rushed in quickly, their gun barrels pointing at various parts of the room.

An officer followed with another group, making the already cramped room even more crowded.

The officer's face was cold as he turned on the light and carefully inspected every corner of the room. He then spoke into the walkie-talkie: "Search of residence 197 completed. There is a thin layer of dust in various places, indicating that the subject has not been home in the past two days... I think he is not the missing body."

A voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Next."

"Yes."

The soldiers left, not noticing the small fan still running inside the living room window.

If they had noticed this and thought about it, they would have realized that by thoroughly cleaning the room and with the fan continuously drawing in dust, it would only take a day or two for the room to be covered in dust again.

...

X City, Hongfeng County, Donglin Village.

This is a very remote village. There is no road from the county to the village, and even to get to X City from Hongfeng County, one has to take a bus for nearly two hours.

Donglin Village is very poor. In an era where people can tolerate the lack of the five elements but cannot tolerate the lack of internet, Donglin Village has only just been electrified.

However, the villagers of Donglin Village have been very happy these past two days.

The biggest obstacle to development is the lack of roads. Two days ago, a young man named Ye Yun came to the village and proposed to build a road for the villagers under the name of 'Fire Phoenix Company.'

In fact, all the work is already underway. A large number of construction teams have already arrived from the city, waiting for the cement and other building materials to be transported before starting work.

Therefore, Ye Yun received the highest hospitality in the village.

Fire Phoenix Company was created by Ye Yun, who chose a character from his father's and his uncle's names. The company mainly operates hotels.

The villagers widely learned that Fire Phoenix Company would collaborate with the villagers to build a rural-themed leisure resort in the village, as the scenery in Donglin Village is indeed beautiful.

Knowing this, the villagers naturally had no doubts. If this were a plot, it would be a perfect match for "Liu Laogen"... Thus, they welcomed it with open arms.

Ye Yun's purpose, of course, was not purely to help others. He mainly wanted to avoid the big city to practice and also to avoid conventional missions that might conflict with the CT side.

X City is three cities away from N City. By traveling here, Ye Yun only needed to get an ID card and change his age and birthplace. The people from N City would certainly not be able to trace him here. As for getting the ID card, after 'communicating' with the main leaders of X City, it was as easy as building the road and the leisure resort, requiring no approval.

This is how reality works. Giving money to the leaders satisfies them financially; helping the poor village develop and lift the villagers out of poverty gives the leaders credit. With fame and fortune, who can escape? In such a situation, how could the leaders not give him the green light everywhere?

Building the company is simple. Just hire a few college graduates, sign contracts, and find a lawyer to oversee it. The foundation of the company is set. Then, all the work is pushed onto them. With the temptation of high salaries and bonuses and the legal constraints, Ye Yun naturally does not worry about them embezzling the funds. As for the quality of the work, he believes these newly graduated, ambitious college students will not disappoint him... Even if they do not perform well, it does not matter much, as Ye Yun's purpose is not really to benefit the village.

Donglin Village is located in a remote area and is one of the few mountainous regions in the province. The village is built in the mountains, and there are many rivers around, making the environment very pleasant.

To find a forest, Ye Yun needed a quiet and sparsely populated place for his practice... He not only needed to train the skills derived from the Sōgen no Chi but also to practice shooting.

Yes, shooting.

Think about it, even in the major events, the black man with the black round hammer, who looked like Chen Guohan, could still be blown away by an explosion. And when he met the red beret again, the latter had many gunshot wounds. This shows that no matter how strong a person is, they cannot outmatch a gun. This is probably what is meant by the 'end of the law' era.

Except for the first day in the village, which was used for rest, Ye Yun carried a hunting rifle into the mountains every day, claiming he was going hunting. The simple villagers probably speculated in private that this 'rich second generation' was also building the leisure resort to entertain the wealthy who enjoy hunting. Some young men who returned from working in the city said that city people now enjoy this kind of activity.

After the village chief proposed several times to send someone to guide Ye Yun, and the 'wealthy young man' clearly stated that he wanted to train his wilderness survival skills, and after he publicly made a call in the area with the worst signal to prove he could call for help, everyone decided to leave him alone.

Thus, after exploring the mountains for a day, Ye Yun packed some compressed food and water and officially entered the mountains. Before leaving, he naturally instructed his employees to work well, emphasizing quality over speed, to keep everyone at ease.

As a southern village, Donglin Village has a warm and semi-humid monsoon climate, with distinct seasons, mild summers, and mild winters, with an annual average temperature of around 15 degrees Celsius. With ample sunlight and rainfall, the plants in the surrounding mountains are particularly lush.

When Ye Yun entered the mountains, it was already drizzling. He still wore a thick camouflage suit and resolutely climbed the mountain. By the time he reached the depths of the forest, the rain was falling steadily.

Finding a clearing by a small mountain lake, Ye Yun casually threw his backpack to the side, took off his shirt, revealing a well-built but not overly muscular body, and began the starting posture of Tongbei Quan.

These days, he had been restraining his strength, moving lightly to avoid exposing his prowess in front of others, mainly because he had not yet fully controlled his suddenly increased attributes. Since there was no one around now, he could practice freely.

Ye Yun's Tongbei Quan was taught by his uncle... Tongbei Quan, also known as Tongbi Quan, has many schools, including 'White Ape,' 'Five Elements,' 'Six Harmonies,' 'Pihua,' and 'Two Wings,' among others. It is primarily a fist-based style with leg techniques as a secondary focus. The techniques involve throwing, slapping, piercing, chopping, and drilling, and the leg techniques include stepping and kicking, such as walking steps, continuous steps, and small kicks.

The Tongbei Quan taught by Ye Yun's uncle, Long Feng, is not one of the above. It is a practical combat technique he learned in the military, combining Tongbei Quan, Bajiquan, Xingyiquan, and Tantui. Because it mainly uses the unique stretching movements and footwork of Tongbei Quan, it is called Special Forces Tongbei Quan.

The most distinctive feature of Tongbei Quan is its continuous power generation, achieved through special arm movements, using the back to generate power, passing through the arm, shoulder, elbow, and fingertips, aiming for coordinated power in every joint. Once accustomed, it can generate maximum power even in tight spaces... Other styles like Bajiquan and Xingyiquan also have similar arm movements, but Tongbei Quan emphasizes this more, and the movements are extremely skillful and fast, making it both visually appealing and practical.

For Ye Yun, he had already memorized and could skillfully perform the entire set of Tongbei Quan, so his movements were indeed powerful and fluid.

Single shake, double cover, lead hand, Pihua, each palm technique raised a gust of wind, causing the grass on the ground to fly.

Bone-penetrating, decapitating, breaking, and circling, each punch technique made a loud and resonant sound, like thunder.

After completing the set of Tongbei Quan, surprisingly, there were not many raindrops on Ye Yun's body. The strong force he generated had already swept away the rain before it could fall on him!

Only when he stopped did the cool raindrops gently fall on his bare upper body, quickly evaporated by the heat stored in his skin.

Evaporation?

Yes, evaporation.

Ye Yun had long discovered that after integrating the Sōgen no Chi, as long as he increased his physical activity, his body temperature would rise to a level that normal people could not tolerate. And this intense heat did not cause him any discomfort; on the contrary, the higher his body temperature, the more he felt something inside him would be released.

The answer, of course, was the Da Yang Fire of the Sōgen family.

What surprised Ye Yun was that he thought a set of powerful Tongbei Quan would release the Da Yang Fire, but after completing the set, his body temperature reached a certain point and then stopped, as if it had hit a bottleneck. Even though he knew this was the last barrier to using the Da Yang Fire, he could not cross it, no matter how fierce his movements were.

But it doesn't matter, Ye Yun is not someone who is unprepared.

He took out a PAD from his storage space.
