Chapter 499: Chapter 502 How Exciting the Prey Is_1

The next day.

Yang Gang got up before dawn, dressed in sportswear and running shoes, and left the house.

After the fierce battle with Chen Quan, Yang Gang realized one of his huge shortcomings.

He lacked spiritual power and physical strength, which prevented him from fully utilizing his absorption power.

The lack of spiritual power meant that he could not absorb too many superpowers, otherwise his thoughts would become chaotic, leading ultimately to self-destruction.

Given Yang Gang’s current level of spiritual power, he could only absorb one more superpower at most.

If he wanted to absorb more superpowers, he would have to increase his spiritual strength.

Generally speaking, enhancing spiritual strength is related to many factors, such as one’s ability to tolerate physical pain. The more intense the pain one can endure, the stronger the spiritual strength. For example, big sorrow or joy in emotions.

This was the method that Yang Gang was least willing to try.

In addition, there was another method to enhance spiritual power - multitasking.

He could try this method, but the explanation was too broad, and Yang Gang had not yet mastered the essence of it, so he did not understand the specific ways to train.

Weak physical strength could greatly reduce the frequency and power of utilizing superpowers in battles and weaken the endurance in fights. His last fierce battle with Chen Quan had fully exposed this problem.

In the fierce battle against Chen Quan, although Yang Gang had initially taken the upper hand with his superpower of Telekinesis, he later dwindled due to lack of physical strength. He had all these superpowers at his disposal but couldn’t use them, and even almost lost his life.

Currently, he had not found a method to enhance spiritual power, so he had to start with physical training first.

When he left Yang’s villa, Zuo Lan was already exercising with Tai Chi in the yard.

Seeing Yang Gang leaving, a strange expression flashed in Zuo Lan’s eyes: "Young Master Yang has become quite diligent recently."

"I’ve recently understood a principle: ’If you don’t work hard when you’re young, you shall regret it when you’re old,’" Yang Gang replied.

"Ha~" A twitch came to Zuo Lan’s lips. There was something subtly off about that phrase, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint the discrepancy.

"Oh, by the way, Zuo Lan, didn’t you go running up the mountain today?" Yang Gang asked curiously.

Zuo Lan nodded, "Hangcheng has been increasingly oppressive recently. I’d better stay and guard Yang’s villa."

"Oh, you must be tired. Thanks for your hard work," said Yang Gang, waving at Zuo Lan with a smile. "I’m off for a run then."

..

Yang’s villa was located halfway up a hill. The air was fresh here, perfect for exercise.

Yang Gang ran along a small path in the mountains, sometimes slow, sometimes fast. His planned ten-kilometer run quickly came to an end.

"Hmm...This simple form of exercise is too slow in growing my physical strength. The current situation doesn’t allow me to train my body at such a leisurely pace. I need a more intense way of exercising," he thought.

He thought while on his way back to Yang’s villa.

Lin Yueyao had already made breakfast. Yang Fei, who had just got up, was quite surprised to see Yang Gang: "This guy has been waking up quite early recently."

"Hey, Gang, have you taken the wrong pills recently?" Yang Fei asked suspiciously.

"You are the one who took the wrong pills," Yang Gang retorted. After washing, he sat down at the dining table, glanced around, and asked, "Where is Gu Ge?"

"Oh, I called her, but she said she was too tired and wanted to sleep more. She said she wouldn’t have breakfast," Lin Yueyao replied.

"Is she really that tired?" Yang Gang asked casually.

Yang Fei glared at Yang Gang: "How could you call yourself her fan if you don’t even care about your idol? Being a rock star is tiring."

"Oh," Yang Gang nodded but didn’t say anything else.

Lin Yueyao brought the breakfast to the dining table and turned on the TV in the living room.

"There was a murder case on Feidu Road in our city last night. Five people were killed, all with their throats cut by some kind of filamentous object. According to the captain of the city criminal police brigade, all the five deceased were fugitives..."

"Hangcheng is getting more and more chaotic," Lin Yueyao worriedly remarked.

Yang Gang glanced at Lin Yueyao and said, "Yueyao, if you’re worried about Qingyu, you can have her move in as well."

"Ah, Young Master Yang, that’s not what I meant." Lin Yueyao quickly clarified.

Yang Gang laughed, "Uncle’s medical treatment cost me quite a bit of money. It will take a long time for you to repay it all by yourself through work. You might as well have Lin Qingyu move in and work part-time too. Oh, right, Shen Jing will also be coming to work part-time..."

As he said this, Yang Gang suddenly noticed a hostile glare.

"Yang Gang, are you trying to build a harem here?" Yang Fei asked through gritted teeth.

"No, you’ve probably also heard about Shen Jing’s father’s situation. Right now, Shen Jing and her mother have no income. Shen Jing’s mother even returned to the countryside because she was concern bout the high living expenses in the city." Yang Gang paused, then confidently continued, "My deceased grandfather once said, helping others is the source of happiness..."

Yang Fei couldn’t restrain herself, "Hey, Gang, are you sure you’ve actually met our grandfather?"

Yang Gang was stunned, then quickly answered, "Although I lost my memories of him due to the car accident, his teachings still echo in my ears."

Yang Fei: ..

After a moment, Yang Fei finally said, "Gang, you’re a little strange."

Yang Gang was taken aback, "What’s wrong?"

"Our grandfather passed away before we were born, how could his teachings echo in your ears?"

"But I heard that grandfather’s grave had only been completed a few years ago." Yang Gang replied.

"That’s because our grandmother didn’t allow it to be built before."

"Why?"

Yang Fei shrugged, "How would I know?"

She pondered for a moment, looking suspicious, before asking again, "You having Shen Jing stay in our house, are you sure you don’t have any ulterior motives?"

Yang Gang let out a breath of relief. It seemed that Yang Fei didn’t suspect his identity again.

Regaining his composure, Yang Gang affectionately flicked Yang Fei’s forehead. "When did you become so suspicious? Besides, Shen Jing will only be working part-time during the day, she won’t be living here."

Yang Fei’s face turned bright red, "I-I just don’t want Shen Jing to fall into the hands of the devil!"

Unable to argue against him, I’ll just eat, I’ll just eat.~~

"Oh, speaking of which, where’s Dad? Didn’t he come back yesterday night?" Yang Gang suddenly asked.

"The chairman left very early." Lin Yueyao responded.

"Middle-aged men chasing after women can indeed be quite hardworking." Yang Gang mumbled with a mouth full of doughnuts.

Everyone sweatdropped.

After breakfast, Yang Gang and Yang Fei went to school.

Driving his Lamborghini, Yang Gang was en route to school with Yang Fei.

Arriving at a crossroads at the foot of the mountain, the Lamborghini suddenly had a flat tire.

Yang Gang got out to check and found that a sharp steel nail had punctured the left front tire.

"Damn it, who tossed such a big steel nail in the middle of the road!" Yang Gang made a call to the Lamborghini dealership in Hangcheng to come and sort it out.

"Gang, I have a class first period. I’ll just take the bus from the bottom of the hill. It’s just around the corner and then I’ll be at the bus stop." Yang Fei scrambled out of the car and proposed.

Looking ahead, there was a turn about 200 meters away, and the bus stop was just beyond that. Yang Gang nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a figure was lurking in the mountains. His attention had originally been on Yang Gang, but as Yang Fei exited the car, his gaze instantly turned excited.

"What an exciting prey. She’s ten times more beautiful than all the women I’ve hunted combined. It’s decided, I’ll use my Silver Thread to bind her and slowly torture her to death. Just thinking about her terrified expression makes me feel like I’m on a high."

He followed Yang Fei from the top of the mountain and after turning the corner, she was out of Yang Gang’s sight. He was waiting for this moment.

Finally, with anticipation, Yang Fei arrived at the turn.

He licked his lips, extended his right hand and thought, "I possess a Superpower that can solidify AP particles into threadlike entities. This power is the perfect skill for sneak attacks and assassinations. By the time a target notices, the Life-taking Silver Thread is already around their neck. The Silver Thread leaves no trace when it’s been used, and it’s incredibly sharp and hard. Anyone trapped by the Silver Thread simply has to wait to be strangled to death. No one can break my Silver Thread! In the field of assassination, I am the strongest man!"
