"Swish, swish, swish, swish—!"
Silver arrows sped through the air, embedding deeply into the plastic floor of the boxing ring.
At this moment, each of the spectator stands on all four sides had ten archers releasing arrows from their bows, but no matter how well-trained these ordinary people were, their reaction speed had its limits.
In the past, their superior eyesight had been a boon, but now they couldn't even catch a glimpse of their target's shadow!
That blurry phantom seemed like an incredibly agile gust of wind, flashing through their line of sight a few times before evading or deflecting every arrow.
Merely sweeping through the crowd of archers, a fleeting and indistinct shadow of a staff flickered, and one by one, the archers fell to the ground, incapacitated.
...
"This speed…"
Inside the monitoring room of the underground boxing arena, Sister Yang's pupils contracted, staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding on the monitors.
In the footage captured by the high-speed camera, she could clearly see the terrifyingly fast movements of the young patrol officer, which made her heart skip a beat even from behind the screen.
Was this really a patrol officer who had only been officially appointed for two months?
How could he be so powerful?
On the monitor, it was nothing short of a massacre!
These fifty professionally trained archers she had painstakingly cultivated at her boxing arena, who should have been a challenge even for someone of captain level, were being slaughtered so effortlessly?
It was true that his speed outmatched the archers, but it was excessively fast!
Moreover, it wasn't just his speed that was alarming, but also how eerily fluid his movements were—turning and doubling back in an instant with such precision and smoothness that it seemed effortless?
Such unpredictable movements made it impossible for the archers to predict his path and shoot their arrows!
"He must have mastered more than two combat skills, and definitely at the instinct level…"
The more Sister Yang thought about it, the more shocked she became.
"This monstrously talented combat genius actually joined the patrol?"
Suddenly, Sister Yang clenched her teeth and quickly turned to leave the monitoring room.
This scene made her realize that she had to escape.
Although the surveillance records and data were still in the process of being destroyed and deleted, and there were many things left unset, if she didn't evacuate now, she would likely die at the hands of this young patrol officer!
"While Zhang Zhu tries to hold him off, I still have a chance to escape…"
After leaving the monitoring room, Sister Yang tried to walk as quietly as possible, swiftly moving along the corridor.
She knew Zhang Zhu's capabilities.
Although Zhang Zhu couldn't possibly stop the patrol officer, he was skilled in the Seven-Star Practice Method and mastered a combat skill that was particularly effective against fast-moving foes.
Coupled with the remaining archers, they could at least buy her some time before their demise.
That time would be enough for her to retrieve the outer space coins hidden in the secret compartment of the safe in her office.
"And the Super Sensing Liquid, I must take it with me as well."
The thought crossed Sister Yang's mind.
This substance could only be produced by Intelligent Star Group and would fetch a fortune at auction in the black market.
It was only because the boss wanted to support Xiao Peidong's rise to power that such a precious treasure like the Super Sensing Liquid could be offered.
"There should be enough time…"
Suddenly—
"Bang!"
After a loud gunshot, Sister Yang felt a numbness in her right leg followed by a surge of intense pain, nearly causing her to fall.
Had she been shot?
She instantly realized she had been shot in the right leg and quickly turned her head to see that a swift figure had appeared in the corridor, rushing towards her.
"Whoosh!"
Sister Yang's vision blurred, only hearing the wind passing by her ear and immediately understanding that the assailant had moved to her side. Her delicate, jade-like right hand instantly emanated a chilling sharpness, followed by a swift chop of her hand, slicing through the air!
But the assailant was too fast; in the narrow corridor, he had already retreated half a step in an instant, dodging her blade hand.
Immediately following—
"Bang!"
Silver sparks flew from the gun barrel, instantly tearing a bloody hole in her right shoulder.
Even with a body toughened by the Seven-Star Sunrise Training Method, which was many times more durable than that of an ordinary person, without practicing defensive combat skills, she couldn't withstand such a powerful bullet!
"Ugh!"
Sister Yang grunted, feeling intense pain in her shoulder, and her right arm's strength draining.
Immediately after, she felt a hard object pressed against her forehead.
——That was the cold muzzle of a gun.
"Move one more time, and I guarantee your head will blossom."
The emotionally flat voice rang out, instantly stiffening her body, daring not to make any unnecessary movement.
Lin Qing's fingertips rested on the revolver's trigger, pressing against the cheongsam-wearing woman's forehead, he softly said, "Are you the person in charge of this underground boxing arena?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yang's face turned pale as she said, "What about Zhang Zhu? Did he escape?"
Could it be that Zhang Zhu realized the terrifying strength of this young patrol officer and didn't dare to make a move, fleeing instead, allowing the officer to catch up so quickly?
"That bald man?"
Lin Qing glanced at her, "He's already dead."
Zhou Yang grew more frightened.
Zhang Zhu had teamed up with the leftover archers, yet they couldn't even delay for a bit?
Doesn't that mean this young patrol officer's strength is even more terrifying than she had anticipated?
At that moment, numerous thoughts arose in her mind.
"I am the person responsible for this underground boxing arena."
Zhou Yang suddenly spoke in a low voice, "My name is Zhou Yang, and you are Lin Qing, the newly promoted Deputy Captain of the Patrol Bureau, right? I'd like to make a deal with you, one that I'm sure will tempt you."
"Let's hear it." Lin Qing looked at her.
Zhou Yang took a deep breath and said, "Captain Lin, since you've joined the patrol system and opted out of the martial arts academy, your qualifications may not be ideal. Are you confident you can master the Original Chaoyang Method?"
"I know you're trying to buy your life."
Lin Qing's fingertip remained steadily on the revolver's trigger, "Just say it, what do you want to use to buy your life?"
Zhou Yang spoke somberly, "Money, tens of millions in outer space coins. I can help you acquire the best High Energy Release Liquid, the EPS series, have you heard of it? And there's the legendary Super Sensing Liquid; I can get you that too."
"Do you have Super Sensing Liquid?" Lin Qing slightly raised his eyebrows.
So… was this what his inexplicable intuition had been craving?
What he most needed right now was indeed the Super Sensing Liquid.
"Yes."
Zhou Yang said without hesitation, "And it's here, in this underground boxing arena."
"You haven't mastered the Original Chaoyang Method either, have you? If you have Super Sensing Liquid, why haven't you used it?" Lin Qing asked.
"It's not for me, I dare not use it."
Zhou Yang spoke solemnly, "As you can see, Captain Lin, the reason why the Yuanhong Society could afford to hire Chu Tianyao is clearly due to having a bigger backer above us. Frankly, I'm just a puppet, and I dare not resist."
Lin Qing slightly narrowed his eyes, "The Yuanhong Society's informant in the Patrol Bureau of Xiao Shan District is Xiao Peidong, right?"
"I can't say."
Zhou Yang slowly said, "Captain Lin, if you want to press me for these details, just kill me. Losing the money and the Super Sensing Liquid, I might still live, but if I revealed secrets, I would truly have no way out."
"Is that so?" Lin Qing scrutinized her briefly, "Tell me, where are the money and the Super Sensing Liquid?"
She swallowed… Zhou Yang silently breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Super Sensing Liquid is in a safe hidden behind a secret compartment in the wall of my office, and the outer space coins are in another safe hidden in a different secret compartment."
She added, "However, both safes require fingerprint and iris recognition to open, so I must retrieve them myself."
Lin Qing watched her, then suddenly moved the gun muzzle and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
A bloom of blood burst from Zhou Yang's left shoulder, and the bullet deeply embedded itself there. Her vision darkened instantly, and her already trembling body rocked slightly, nearly collapsing.
She clenched her teeth tightly and lowered her head, not letting Lin Qing see the resentment in her eyes.
"Stand up, behave yourself."
Lin Qing continued pointing the gun at her head, his voice gentle, "Otherwise, the next shot will make your head blossom."
Zhou Yang took a deep breath and said, "Can I stop the bleeding first? If it keeps flowing like this, I won't last."
Seeing that Lin Qing remained silent, she reached out with her ice-cold fingertips and ripped the hem of her cheongsam.
Unconcerned that her pale, delicate, and straight legs were exposed, she hurriedly cut strips of cloth, even allowing a glimpse of the base of her legs, seemingly oblivious, and tightly wrapped the wound to temporarily stop the bleeding.
Lin Qing could tell that the woman was using her alluring figure to play the beauty card, challenging a weakness common to all men.
But his particular weakness had already been exploited to the point of exhaustion in his previous life.
So, he just watched coldly, the gun always aimed at her.
After finishing all this in just half a minute, Zhou Yang gritted her teeth, ignoring the pain, and then leaned against the wall to stand up.
"Let's go," Lin Qing said.

Sister Yang walked ahead in silence, and soon the two of them arrived at the office at the end of the corridor.
The office, decorated in a retro style, emitted an antique charm and was filled with the lingering scent of sandalwood.
After Sister Yang pushed the door open, she pointed to the wall behind the sofa and said, "The money is right there. The technique to open the secret compartment is quite complicated, and I need to do it myself."
"Go ahead," Lin Qing told her.
Only then did Sister Yang step forward, enduring the pain as she tapped on the wall repeatedly more than a dozen times before she managed to open the secret compartment, revealing the door of the safe.
She then authenticated her fingerprint and iris recognition. Clenching her teeth and exerting force with difficulty, she barely managed to press down the safety button on the safe door, finally opening it.
...
Indeed, a large number of coins lay inside the safe, seemingly made of rare metals brought by extraterrestrial civilizations.
"These coins are worth about forty-one million in total if sold on the black market," Sister Yang said.
Lin Qing glanced at it and continued to point the gun at her, "Go get the Super Sensing Liquid."
Sister Yang, however, turned around, silently looking at him without moving.
"Hm?" Lin Qing uttered a sound of confusion from his nose.
"…I know, once I take out the Super Sensing Liquid, I'll be killed by you," Sister Yang said through gritted teeth.
Lin Qing narrowed his eyes.
"I don't want to die."
Sister Yang took a deep breath and said, "So… if you want the Super Sensing Liquid, put away your gun and stay away from me. After I complete the iris and fingerprint authentication, I must be allowed to get the Super Sensing Liquid first."
In a low voice, she said, "If I notice you're going to kill me, I will immediately crush the Super Sensing Liquid. It evaporates quickly, and once it spills, you'll have no chance to inject it."
Lin Qing looked at her expressionlessly.
"If you won't agree, then just kill me now."
Sister Yang stared straight into his eyes as if she didn't see the barrel of the gun, "Otherwise, the moment I open the safe, it will be the same as my death sentence."
Lin Qing didn't say a word but slowly backed off a few steps and put the gun back into its holster.
Sister Yang let out a slight sigh of relief, then stepped forward and opened another secret compartment in the wall, revealing the door of another safe.
After authenticating her fingerprint and iris, she was about to press the button when her body slightly swayed, apparently weakened from blood loss and pain.
At that slow moment—
"Whoosh!"
Sister Yang suddenly heard a swift sound of wind and felt a force hitting her body, sending her flying and crashing into the adjacent wall.
As she struggled to get up from the ground in pain, she was startled to find Lin Qing had already returned in front of the safe, with the barrel of his revolver now pointing at her.
"You!" Sister Yang's face paled, staring hard at Lin Qing with a trembling voice, "You're not keeping your word!"
Lin Qing glanced at her, "I never agreed to your terms, and you were too slow."
Indeed, he couldn't possibly let this woman go, but he needed to verify whether the Super Sensing Liquid really was in the safe before killing her.
Sister Yang gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with regret and unwillingness.
Lin Qing pointed the gun at her with one hand while the other reached towards the button to open the safe.
At this moment, Sister Yang, despite her dismal appearance, couldn't help but sneer mockingly in her heart.
"People really do die from greed…"
She knew all too well.
The safe did indeed contain the Super Sensing Liquid.
But there was also a tiny device inside.
Apart from a fixed time each day, attempting to open the safe at any other time would immediately release a highly concentrated nerve gas at high velocity.
This toxin, originating from Intelligent Star Group, was lethal unless, like her, one has undergone poison resistance gene modification or mastered the Original Chaoyang Method. Anyone else exposed would likely die!
From the beginning, she had no plans to engage in a transaction to save her life.
She could tell that he wouldn't feel at ease without killing her and was also extremely cautious, which is why she lured him step by step to this point, making him believe she truly wanted to take the Super Sensing Liquid from the safe for self-protection.
Adding to the trust was the fact that the other safe truly did contain money.
Until just then, she deliberately acted as if her slow movement was due to the injury and blood loss, giving him the chance to catch her in a mistake.
Every step was carefully calculated.
This whole process was a contingency plan she thought of a long time ago for dealing with such a situation.
Unless it was a legendary Telekinesis Awakener, who could directly penetrate the safe with telekinetic power, failure was almost impossible.
But the boss had told her that the free Telekinesis Awakeners were already extremely rare, each hiding and not daring to expose themselves; moreover, she wouldn't attract enemies on that level.
Now, this young Patrol Officer had taken the bait!
Sister Yang watched as Lin Qing's fingertip moved closer to the button to open the safe, her heart filled with anticipation:
"Go on, open it. The moment you open the door will be your death!"
Just then, Lin Qing suddenly stopped.
[Current Order Level decreased by 0.7 Level]
[Current Order Level increased by 0.7 Level]
A line of blood-red prompt and a line of green prompt consecutively appeared before his eyes.
This caused Lin Qing to be slightly taken aback.
Why had the Order Level suddenly dropped so much, only to recover immediately?
What was going on?
Lin Qing couldn't help but take a glance at this woman named Zhou Yang beside him.
There were only the two of them, himself and Zhou Yang, left alive in the Underground Boxing Arena; the others had either fled or died.
But even previously, Zhou Yang only caused the Order Level to decrease by 0.6 Level, a threat level of a team leader, and with her now being crippled, she wasn't much of a threat anymore.
If one were to claim there was a threat from another strong individual, it wouldn't just appear now, only to disappear again.
Unless…
Lin Qing suddenly turned his head to look at the safe in front of him.
If there was a trigger-type bomb or something similar inside the safe, an attempt to open it might cause a substantial reduction in his Order Level.
However… Intelligent Star Group monitors globally; aren't the use of bombs and other technological weapons banned?
Lin Qing tried to reach out again to open the safe.
But his Order Level did not decrease.
That inexplicable intuition did not warn him again either.
Lin Qing felt even more puzzled.
Beside him, Sister Yang was getting impatient.
The man was about to open the door just now; why did he stop again?
As she watched Lin Qing remain on alert, her impatience grew. Her State was deteriorating, and she was waiting for Lin Qing to be paralyzed by poison before striking him with her final, deadly move.
But if Lin Qing didn't open the safe, she would have no chance.
"I can only risk it…"
Sister Yang took a deep breath, a resolute look flashing in her eyes, and she gently unscrewed one of her molars with the tip of her tongue.
Then she kept it poised on her tongue, as Mysterious Energy slowly started to flow within her body.
This was her last resort.
— The Divine Transformation Series "Combat Skill: Tongue," apart from extraordinary taste buds, could also spit out hidden weapons from the mouth, with a force near that of a bullet, extremely fast, and under surprise attack, the threat was immense.
"Pfft!"
The next moment, a white afterimage shot explosively from Sister Yang's mouth!
Lin Qing maintained the "Combat Skill: Agility" and immediately reacted, but with less than three meters separating them, the tooth, bursting forth like a bullet, would only need 0.01 seconds to bridge that distance!
By the time Lin Qing reacted, he could only back away in evasion.
However—
The target of the bullet wasn't him, but the safe beside him!
"Success!"
Sister Yang sneered in her heart.
She had seen the young Patrol Officer's speed and response, and even at close range, she couldn't be sure of a successful surprise attack.
Thus, her aim was for the open button on the safe!
As long as she could open the safe door, the poison gas would erupt nearly at the speed of 100 meters per second under the extreme high pressure within. Even if Lin Qing inhaled just a tiny amount, it would be enough!
"Clang!"
The white afterimage struck the safe's open button instantaneously, and the tremendous rebound force flung the door wide open!
Was there really a trick within this safe?
Lin Qing's expression changed, and instantly turned into a blur, retreating backward at top speed!
At the same time, he also pulled the trigger in passing, firing a shot at Sister Yang as he backed away.
"Bang!"
The sound of the gunshot echoed.
Sister Yang's chest burst open with a spray of blood, but her eyes were fixed on the safe that was opening, eagerly anticipating the spurt of pale purple gas at a high velocity.
However—
After the door of the safe flipped open, all was quiet; nothing was amiss, with only wisps of cold air seeping out.
Sister Yang froze.
Lin Qing instantly retreated to the office doorway, ready to close the door. However, his Order Level did not decrease, which reassured him, and he frowned at the opened safe.
In the open safe, on a transparent base, there was a light blue syringe.
Aside from that, nothing else.
Lin Qing couldn't help but glance at Sister Yang with a frown. What was this woman playing at?
Was this sneak attack just to help him open a safe?
"Impossible… impossible…"
Blood foamed at the corner of Sister Yang's mouth after being shot, but she fixated on the open safe, unable to believe what she saw.
Where was the high-pressure poison gas?
Where was her meticulously prepared, clever poison gas device?
Why didn't it trigger???
No… Impossible!
Struggling to support herself with trembling hands, Sister Yang slowly got up from the ground, swaying towards the safe.
"Bang!"
Another gunshot, and her forehead burst open with a bullet hole as she collapsed headfirst onto the floor.
In her eyes, there lingered a profound terror and a glint of realization.
In her last moments, she understood the reason.
The spray nozzle of the poison gas device, which should have been flung open by the super-high pressure change, was faintly trembling earlier.
It was as if…
An unseen force was forcibly suppressing its eruption.
