Chapter 67 - Agreed to Fight Cang Lang

The main reason was to stimulate the superpower within his body through the fights with them, to awaken the Superpower Core in his brain, thus breaking through to a higher Superpower Realm.

The crazy fight with Wuxue, the number-one assassin in Capital City, had elevated Ye Tianchen’s Superpower Realm from Monarch Level to King Level.

Without it, defeating Wuxue and surpassing Tie Hammer wouldn’t have been that easy.

However, Ye Tianchen soon discovered that if he wanted to advance his Superpower Realm again, just relying on fierce battles between one or two people wouldn’t be possible any longer.

To improve each level of the Superpower Realm, aside from triggering the Superpower Core in the brain and gathering the superpower energy in every inch of the meridians for an assault, a superpower user also needed to have a thorough understanding of themselves and nature.

While at the old Ye family residence, it was only by using the strength of the King-level Superpower Realm that Ye Tianchen managed to repel Tie Hammer.

At that time, he sensed the superpower within him boiling, yet not close to trending towards a breakthrough to the next realm.

Therefore, he understood that to break through again, he needed more crazy and intense battles.

Moreover, having come from the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen was constantly fighting in that dark, bloody era where cannibalism was widespread.

This honed his mind and blood to be filled with the cells of battle.

In this dull city life, a crazy, intense battle from time to time was still quite enjoyable.

“How about it?

Interested now?” Cang Lang saw that Ye Tianchen had finally become enthusiastic and asked with a smile.

“Somewhat interested, but I’m not sure about the strength of those people abroad.”

“I don’t know about the others, but according to the intelligence gathered by our China over these years, M-country has a Superpower Special Agent Team, and each member is very strong.

They are extremely skilled at manipulating their superpower, and over the years, the number of agents in the M-country Superpower Special Agent Team has been increasing.

We suspect that someone is developing the Superpower Cores inside human brains…” Cang Lang continued.

Ye Tianchen was stunned for a moment.

He hadn’t expected that in this lifetime, there were already people studying and developing the Superpower Core inside human brains.

Moreover, according to Cang Lang, it was clear that such technology was much more advanced abroad than in China.

Here, no scientists could develop the Superpower Core inside the brains of ordinary people, so the local superpower users were mostly Innate.

Superpower users were divided into Innate and Acquired.

Ye Tianchen had known this for a long time.

In the apocalypse, there were organizations working on developing the Superpower Cores in ordinary people’s brains.

Everyone had a mysterious region in their brain, and within this area was something the size of a peanut kernel – the Superpower Core.

Once triggered, it could bestow superpower, but the chances were slim.

Many people might never have the chance to unleash their Superpower Core and gain a superpower in their lifetime.

These were the Acquired superpower users.

Innate superpower users, as the name suggests, are born with superpower.

These individuals were labeled as geniuses.

Back in the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen encountered a very powerful superpower user, a thirteen-year-old boy, who was extremely powerful and evil.

This boy was an Innate superpower user, born with a potent superpower.

His favorite pastime was to tie people up, bore a hole in their heads, and scoop out the brain matter, frightening the victims to death.

That year, Ye Tianchen’s battle with the thirteen-year-old boy even shocked the entire Superpower World.

It was the only time Ye Tianchen had fully unleashed his Divine-level superpower and touched the forbidden domain.

The evil boy had not only super strong superpower but also was a master of the Elemental system, specifically the thunder and lightning category.

With every move, there was flashing thunder, and he could even call upon the Power of Thunder and Lightning from the sky, with a Thunderous force.

That was Ye Tianchen’s most challenging battle and made him realize that no matter the level or system of superpower, none should be underestimated.

Once someone elevates a category of superpower energy to the extreme, they could also have the potential to destroy heaven and earth.

Despite not managing to kill the evil thirteen-year-old, Ye Tianchen did seriously wound him and impeded the boy’s superpower energy, hindering his breakthroughs.

In doing so, he performed a good deed for the ordinary people who were struggling to survive in the apocalypse.

“I actually am interested in taking a trip abroad.

It’s just that I can’t put my parents and sister at ease.

What if the Luo family or the Qin family make a move against them?” Ye Tianchen sighed.

“You can rest assured that during the time you complete your mission, I, Cang Lang, guarantee with my soldier’s honor that whoever dares to touch your family, I will take full responsibility,” Cang Lang said seriously.

Cang Lang understood that to encourage Ye Tianchen to willingly and joyfully complete the mission, he had to address his concerns.

Considering how much trouble Ye Tianchen had stirred up just after discharging from the military, Cang Lang felt like giving him a few whacks and was now effectively cleaning up after him.

Yet Cang Lang had no choice now; he had assured his boss, the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, Yang Yi, that Ye Tianchen could definitely complete the mission.

Indeed, he was the most suitable among all known candidates.

Cang Lang could only bet on Ye Tianchen.

“Then I have three more conditions,” Ye Tianchen said, a mischievous smile on his face.

“Three conditions?

Aren’t you getting a bit too greedy, kid?

Who do you think you are?

Is this a trade?

It’s an order, a mission, understand?” Tie Hammer turned around and roared out of irritation.

“It’s up to you to agree or not.

I honestly don’t care if I go or not.

Although I’d like to meet those masters abroad, it still seems like a less comfortable option compared to living a carefree life here in our country,” Ye Tianchen shrugged nonchalantly.

“Don’t ask for too much, kid.

You’ve offended the Qin family; if it weren’t for me just now, you probably wouldn’t have made it out.

I saved your life; you should learn to be grateful,” Cang Lang quickly interjected.

Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but laugh.

Although he was a serious person, he was also a man who took life with a touch of irreverence.

Life should be like that, serious when it needed to be and playful when it called for it.

Especially that last statement had even made Cang Lang, who was always so stern, panic.

This amused Ye Tianchen.

“No need, I can handle the Qin family’s issues myself.

You just came at an inconvenient time and messed up my plans,” Ye Tianchen said, unappreciative of the offered help.

“You little…”

“One thing at a time, let’s be clear.

First, tell me, do you agree to my three conditions?” Ye Tianchen interrupted Cang Lang.

This time Cang Lang had come to him to complete the task of escorting secret documents.

Cang Lang was no ordinary person, and Ye Tianchen understood what kind of status he had.

That’s why he wanted to make some demands—not that he wanted much for himself, but it might be an opportunity to get something for his parents and sister.

“Let’s hear them,” Cang Lang said cautiously, finding Ye Tianchen somewhat unpredictable.

In Cang Lang’s eyes, Ye Tianchen was an enigma—deadly serious and murderous when necessary, like the grim reaper himself, unstoppable.

But when it came to playfulness, he was not unlike those good-for-nothing scions, crude and vulgar included.

It was truly exasperating.

“First, my dad is the Party Secretary in H City, right?

Isn’t it time he got transferred to study at the Kyoto Party School?

Second, I want someone released from Kyoto Prison.

His name is Yang Hai.

Third, when I return, I want to fight you and I hope you won’t hold back,” Ye Tianchen said to Cang Lang with a smile.

The first two conditions might have been within Cang Lang’s expectations, but the third—to challenge him to a fight—was a surprise.

“Ye Tianchen, do you think you’re too arrogant, daring to challenge Cang Lang to a fight?

Do you have a death wish?” Tie Hammer, who was driving, overheard Ye Tianchen’s third condition and immediately became angry.

In Tie Hammer’s mind, Cang Lang was an idol, an untouchable figure.

As one of the three great War Kings of China, how strong he was was almost a mystery.

No one knew, nor dared to challenge Cang Lang.

Ye Tianchen’s challenge seemed incredibly arrogant to Tie Hammer.

Even if Ye Tianchen had some skills, there was no way he could match Cang Lang, or so Tie Hammer believed.

“Shut up and just drive.

Be careful or you might get replaced for poor driving skills,” Ye Tianchen told Tie Hammer.

At that moment, Cang Lang, who was sitting beside him, also became serious and studied Ye Tianchen intently.

Although Cang Lang couldn’t gauge Ye Tianchen’s true strength, he knew that Ye Tianchen was not weak.

Especially after being informed by Tie Hammer that even going all out in a fight, he hadn’t won against Ye Tianchen, Cang Lang was shocked.

Tie Hammer was his top soldier and a War King rival only to himself, and to hear that he couldn’t defeat Ye Tianchen in a full assault was unbelievable.

“Are you sure you want to fight me?” Cang Lang asked in a deep voice.

“Yes.

I know you’re strong, and I want to see just how strong you are.

You might beat me black and blue, but it’s also possible I’ll give you a black eye…” Ye Tianchen said with a relaxed smile.

If anyone else had been there listening to Ye Tianchen, their jaws would have dropped.

The audacity to say that he could give one of the top three War Kings in China, Cang Lang, a black eye belonged to Ye Tianchen alone.

“Heh, fine.

Young heroes may come from the youth.

If you complete your mission and come back alive, I’ll fight you,” Cang Lang suddenly laughed and said.

“It’s a deal then, but don’t cry if you lose!”

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s joking remark, Cang Lang really wanted to give him a beating.

What kind of man was he?

A soldier, one of the three great War Kings of China, long since beyond the point of tears, yet Ye Tianchen had dared to mention crying.

Cang Lang really felt the urge to punch Ye Tianchen a few times.
