Chapter 328: 305 Skirmish Eight_2

It must be said that top-tier experts like Chen Jiahan, once equipped with exoskeletons, can exhibit strength that far exceeds imagination; the only question is how to control such a person...

Now that the Holy Infant Technique cannot be initiated to the second layer, and it is still missing the final section of the first layer.

It’s unclear when Li Chongnan will make the breakthrough to this section.

Maybe soon, maybe slow.

Therefore... if I really want to subjugate this guy, I can only use another method.

Thinking of this, Li Chengyi stretched out his hand, and a purple-red orb appeared in his palm.

This was a new Floral Bead from the Purple Delicate Flower. The Floral Beads originally split from the Purple Magnolia came in twos, something he hadn’t noticed at first. Now that there was an extra bead, it was perfect to use in this situation.

Although it seemed a bit wasteful, Chen Jiahan’s potential was worth the investment.

And the Floral Bead could not be removed; once betrayal occurred, Li Chengyi could retract it with a mere thought, resulting in severe side-effects, disfigurement, and a significant reduction in lifespan.

Essentially, whether this item was used for good or evil depended entirely on the user’s heart.

Tossing the Floral Bead over, Chen Jiahan caught it with one hand and glanced at it.

"What is this?"

"An invitation," Li Chengyi said, "Join my Garden of Fate and become one of us. Are you willing?"

"...I am willing!" Chen Jiahan hesitated only for an instant before responding immediately.

Hiss!

He then watched in surprise as the purple-red orb vanished from his palm in the blink of an eye.

"What is this!?" A flurry of guesses raced through his mind.

"I have received your trust," Li Chengyi finally smiled, "From now on, you cannot betray me, or unimaginable severe consequences will ensue."

"In return, you will gain access to special abilities unique to the Garden of Fate."

"...Abilities!?" Chen Jiahan keenly sensed something different about that word.

He struggled to stand up, his abdomen still bleeding. It was where Li Chongnan had injured him with the Great Dragon Sword; his internal organs had been damaged, and at this point, he couldn’t heal quickly.

"Yes, abilities." Li Chengyi, standing at this height, wasn’t too concerned about revealing secrets anymore.

Having ascertained his current strength, he understood that unless the strongest experts of Jiu Yi intervened, he was now capable of dominating any city.

And this time, having broken through the barrier, in front of so many people and spectators, and shattered the blockade, even if only a small portion of those people were grateful, it would still be a massive resource of goodwill.

Although the matter of killing Chen Zonghan wasn’t something to speak of publicly, the upper echelons probably knew already.

All things considered, the Garden of Fate and Mingyuan Company were truly entering the high-level view this time.

Even though to the top echelon of Jiu Yi, they were still minor characters, but... having saved the Martial Arts Hall as a credential, the path ahead would be much smoother.

With a perplexed Chen Jiahan in tow, Li Chengyi made his way back toward Chaoyu. Under the treatment of the Radiance Field, Chen Jiahan’s injuries began to heal slightly.

Not healing his injuries in one go was in part due to the severity of his wounds, and also because his internal organs were damaged. If not careful, healing could cause the organs to fuse improperly with the surrounding tissue, which would cause problems.

Therefore, a precise surgery at a hospital was needed.

Within the city of Chaoyu.

Sharply designed blue buildings, once like a neatly aligned, magnificent forest, now seemed cold.

But many had already been broken in the previous melee.

Damaged buildings, smoking aircraft, smashed vehicles, and the wailing wounded.

A multitude of brightly colored red and blue security vehicles constantly ascended and descended, transporting the wounded throughout Chaoyu.

In the midst of flaming wreckage, security and firefighting personnel worked together on extinguishing fires and rescuing people.

And at the most severely damaged center, the Chaoyu Martial Arts Arena.

The surrounding area was now crowded with a mass of vehicles and aircraft picking up people.

Everywhere there were cries, and spectators who had been inadvertently injured were being carried onto ambulances one by one.

Inside the venue.

"Quick, quick, quick!!" Two young men and women from the Li Family Main Branch, accompanied by a team of senior medical personnel, hurried to the side of Li Chongnan, who was leaning against the wall.

After Li Chongnan made it into the top three, his status within the Li Family had completely changed.

Being a powerful Combat Technique practitioner might not mean much to many people, but making it into the top three of the fierce competition made a real difference.

That meant entry into a real potential position in the military. Moreover, how old was Li Chongnan now?

Nineteen years old!

A national competition top-three at nineteen—such a master, if equipped with exoskeleton armor, would undoubtedly become a top-tier elite.

After all, she hadn’t fully completed the Genetic Enhancement Needle yet.

For the Li Family, Li Chongnan’s potential and capabilities were already enough for the main branch to take serious interest and lure her in.

"Xiao Nan, you’ve really made us proud this time!" The two individuals from the main branch were full of praise and envy.

"The elders in the family are very appreciative of you. When you return this time, you might be listed in the key training program."

"I hope so. If it really happens, I’ll treat you to a drink later," Li Chongnan pushed away the two nurses who were supporting her and walked out on her own.

"Don’t mention it, Xiao Nan. Your status won’t be lower than ours in the future. We’re all from the same clan; it’s only right to support each other."

The competition system within the Li Family was extremely brutal. Even for those in the main branch, if they failed to meet the standards during periodic evaluations, they would lose training resources, and it wasn’t unusual to see members of the main branch falling behind those of the side branches.
