Chapter 40

The next scene that unfolded was something that all the crew members present would never forget. The ten special police officers, who had just been so aggressive, took turns to sincerely apologize to Su Yang and Li Zixin, their demeanor more humble than that of true grandchildren.

"Xiao Wei, who exactly is this person? I’m really confused," Director Li, who was used to handling all sorts of situations, frowned and walked over to Xiao Wei, puzzled.

Xiao Wei hadn’t expected that a single phone call from Su Yang could have such astonishing power. After a moment of contemplation, she smiled broadly and said, "Director Li, you’ve really stumped me. To be honest, I didn’t know Su Yang had such influence either. But he is an extremely important person in my life, and that’s for sure."

"An extremely important person in your life!"

Director Li mulled over Xiao Wei’s words, giving her a meaningful look before smiling. "Since it’s someone you’ve chosen, I won’t worry about Zhao Tianhe’s dirty tricks against him anymore. I’m sure he’ll only be asking for trouble."

"Right, after today’s incident, this movie will probably have to be put on hold for a while. After all, the male lead has been beaten to a pulp..."

This time, even Director Li couldn’t help but laugh. Zhao Tianhe had been beaten so badly that his head was swollen to twice its size, and he was handcuffed to a police car. The sight was truly hilarious.

After the special police officers had each apologized sincerely, Miao Ling called Hu Wei to one side and said calmly, "Since Mr. Su has shown understanding towards your actions, I won’t make things difficult for you. Go back and tell Hu Dashi that his promotion to deputy director this year will be put on hold. Consider it a price for your rash behavior today."

Upon hearing this, Hu Wei’s face turned red with embarrassment, and he couldn’t speak for a long time. He didn’t dare to hate Su Yang, but he was furious with Xiao Liu, who had called him for help. He also took Zhao Tianhe away with him.

"I’ve suffered a lot today, and you’re responsible for a large part of it."

"Take this guy back and interrogate him. I suspect he’s hiding drugs." Hu Wei shouted as he left, waving to Su Yang’s direction to show his gratitude.

"This kid is quite smart, not bad," Su Yang nodded in satisfaction and said to Miao Ling, "No need to make things difficult for him." With Su Yang’s sixth sense, he naturally hadn’t missed the conversation between Miao Ling and Hu Wei earlier.

Miao Ling hadn’t expected Su Yang to say this, but she quickly smiled and replied, "Since Mr. Su isn’t pursuing the matter, we will certainly follow suit."

Hu Wei, who was taking Zhao Tianhe away, certainly didn’t expect that his final action would secure his father’s future.

The unexpected assault and police incident thus came to an end. Under Director Li’s arrangement, the crew members gradually dispersed.

Miao Ling didn’t leave immediately. She found an opportunity to approach Su Yang, "Mr. Su, are you satisfied with how today’s incident was handled?"

Su Yang nodded first, then showed a strange smile, "I knew you wouldn’t do anything for free. Speak up, what do you need my help with? I’m in a good mood now, so I might consider it if it’s not too much trouble."

Since Su Yang had demonstrated superhuman combat skills at the Nanjing Military District’s Feilong Special Forces Training Base, the cultivation method he had taught, the "Yang Long Decision," had brought significant benefits to all the members of the Feilong Special Forces within a week. After practicing it, almost everyone’s physical abilities had improved significantly. For those dozen or so members who already had internal martial arts skills, their combat abilities had increased exponentially.

This matter was reported to the Central Military Commission, and the Nanjing Military District had even begun discussing the possibility of making the "Yang Long Decision" a mandatory training method for all units.

When the other six military districts learned of this, they all expressed a desire to share this resource, but both Old Zhou and Old Lu, the two old foxes, rejected their requests.

Their reasoning was simple: the "Yang Long Decision" was Su Yang’s personal intellectual property, and it could not be disseminated without his permission.

As a member of a relevant department, Miao Ling was well aware of the situation. Normally, a matter like today’s wouldn’t require her, a high-level field operations manager, to personally intervene. However, because this matter could bring her into contact with Su Yang, she didn’t hesitate to handle it herself.

Apart from her roles as a high-level field operations manager and deputy leader of National Security Group Three, she was also the granddaughter of the current commander of the Shenyang Military District, Miao Changsheng.

Thinking about how her grandfather had repeatedly mentioned the significant improvement in the Nanjing Military District’s overall combat capabilities, Miao Ling naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to curry favor with Su Yang.

"Here’s the thing. When Mr. Su visited the Feilong Special Forces, he taught a cultivation method. I would like to request your authorization to allow the Shenyang Military District to share this resource," Miao Ling said somewhat nervously.

"The cultivation method I taught?" Su Yang was taken aback, then recalled the matter. It was just a second-rate cultivation method from the Demon Sect, and he had hundreds of better methods in his repertoire, so it wasn’t a big deal.

"Sure, this cultivation method is too common. If you want to practice it, go ahead," Su Yang said frankly.

Miao Ling hadn’t expected Su Yang to be so easy to talk to. She had a persistent spirit and continued, "If Mr. Su doesn’t mind, I would like to invite you to visit the Shenyang Military District on behalf of my grandfather. Since you visited the Feilong Special Forces, the Muhu Special Forces of the Shenyang Military District are eager to have a strong person like you come and provide guidance."

"I don’t have the time, and I’m not interested," Su Yang said indifferently. "If I get into trouble again and need you to handle the aftermath, we can discuss it then."

Miao Ling, who was already a very strong-willed woman, still felt a jolt in her heart at Su Yang’s straightforward words.

I fear this guy might be the person I most hope will get into trouble in my life!

"If Mr. Su needs help with any issues, you can contact this number directly." Miao Ling left a number and a smile, got into a red sports car, and sped off in a cloud of dust, disappearing from the scene.

Then, Su Yang, Xiao Wei, and Li Zixin got into a car together and headed to a restaurant outside the film base. After a hearty meal, they returned to Pudong.

Afterward, Li Zixin reluctantly bid farewell and left. Although she was very attached to being by Su Yang’s side, staying out all night was difficult for her, especially since she wasn’t alone in Shanghai and had Zhong Bo looking after her.

Back at Xiao Wei’s penthouse in Tangcheng Yipin, Su Yang first undressed and bathed with the big star, taking advantage of the situation to get some benefits, then coaxed Xiao Wei into a sweet sleep.

In the past few days, Su Yang had felt the signs of a breakthrough. After Xiao Wei fell asleep, he went to the terrace and sat down in a meditative posture.

Looking up at the sky, the moon was high and bright. A faint smile appeared on Su Yang’s lips. After the True Qi of the Heavens completed a full cycle, he suddenly opened his mouth and took a deep breath, his chest swelling. Invisible moonlight energy was gradually drawn into his body through this unique breathing technique.

Using the essence of the sun and moon for one’s own benefit was a method Su Yang had comprehended during his sixth reincarnation. However, this method could only be performed using the True Qi of the Heavens; other cultivation methods would be ineffective.

Since he had developed this method, every time he was about to break through, Su Yang would choose the time when the sun or moon was at its peak, significantly reducing the time and difficulty of the breakthrough.

After "breathing" for two hours, a faint white mist rose around Su Yang. An hour later, the mist became denser, faintly revealing a silver glow, enveloping Su Yang in a misty aura.

The speed of the True Qi of the Heavens circulating in his body increased tenfold under the influence of the moonlight. Su Yang continued to practice, constantly impacting his meridians. As the meridians expanded to a certain limit, the accumulated moonlight energy began to show signs of further expansion under its influence.

As the meridians expanded, the moonlight energy absorbed into his body became stronger, and the True Qi of the Heavens it triggered became even more substantial. Even with Su Yang’s physical constitution, he showed signs of strain under the impact of these two strange forces.

However, every time he was about to collapse, he used a secret technique to stimulate his potential by stimulating the acupoints on his body, enduring the pain and pushing through.

In a sense, the "Nine Transformations of the Heavens" had already transcended the realm of martial arts. In his previous eight reincarnations, every time he broke through to the ninth level of the "Nine Transformations of the Heavens," Su Yang gained a bit of enlightenment. Accumulated over time, he had a rough understanding of the true mysteries of this supreme cultivation method.

There were nine levels, with each set of three levels forming a major threshold. If he broke through to the fourth level today, he could rapidly advance to the sixth level in a short time. At that point, the abilities he would possess were beyond even his own imagination. After all, each time he reincarnated, the same level of cultivation in this life was always stronger than in the previous life.

When he first broke through to the ninth level of the "Nine Transformations of the Heavens" over a thousand years ago, his strength was equivalent to the peak of the Evil Emperor’s power. Now, even at the peak of the third level, Su Yang had every reason to believe that his strength was comparable to when he first broke through to the ninth level.

"Really looking forward to it!"

Su Yang was already thoroughly familiar with the "Nine Transformations of the Heavens." Using the moonlight to break through, he finally reached the final moment of the breakthrough just as the sky began to lighten and the moonlight was about to fade.

In the faint moonlight, Su Yang was enveloped in a silver glow. His bones crackled with a "popping" sound, and all 36,000 pores on his body opened, expelling drops of foul-smelling black water.

At this moment, Su Yang’s expression looked extremely painful, but the slight smile on his lips indicated that he was about to succeed.
