Chapter 1108: Chapter 1109: The Reason Not to Kill

Miyagi Akihito and Yoshimoto Ryota really missed a great opportunity.

If the two of them had come out directly to kill Song Xiaodong last time, Song Xiaodong’s strength at that time definitely wouldn’t have been able to withstand them.

But now Song Xiaodong and Sun Yiyi’s strength has greatly increased, causing them to end up with one dead and one injured.

Back on the warship again, Song Xiaodong, Sun Yiyi, Su Zhentian, Dragon Six, and Dragon Nine gathered together.

Sun Yiyi said, “Husband, why didn’t you just kill Yoshimoto Ryota directly earlier? Letting him go now, what if he comes back for revenge? Although the two of us aren’t afraid of him, the rest of our family doesn’t have his strength.”

Su Zhentian and Dragon Nine, Dragon Six all nodded. They had seen the battle clearly and had a very objective understanding of Yoshimoto Ryota’s strength. With their abilities, neither might be able to defeat him; only if the three joined forces could they possibly defeat him.

Song Xiaodong sighed, saying, “I’m not a compassionate fool, but I did investigate the people of Kikkawa Kendo before coming. Yoshimoto Ryota is truly a heroic figure, not a petty person. It’s just that he has been focusing on martial arts for years, leaving the management of Kikkawa Kendo to Miyagi Takeshi and Lin Zhi Sanlong, which led to some disorder. Such a person wouldn’t do those despicable things. If he’s going to seek revenge, it’ll definitely be a straightforward fight, relying on real skills to defeat me.”

Su Zhentian nodded and said, “The Family Head indeed has great insight into people. I’ve heard before that he is indeed a heroic character. His gutsy demeanor earlier truly made an impression.”

Song Xiaodong said, “Yes, that’s why I couldn’t bear to kill him. Besides, we’ve already achieved our goal, leaving Yoshimoto Ryota doesn’t necessarily pose a big risk to us; instead, it allows us to stand on moral high ground. It makes us look good when the nation gets involved and showcases China’s magnanimity, undoubtedly the best choice.”

Dragon Six and Dragon Nine both admired in their hearts at this moment, that Song Xiaodong’s magnanimity is what makes him capable of great achievements. Truly deserving to be the Dragon Gate Young Master, it makes them believe Dragon Gate will eventually return to glory under Song Xiaodong’s leadership.

“Family Head, Madam!” Su Zhentian said admiringly, “That cooperation just now was incredibly thrilling and remarkably synchronized. Just one move and Miyagi Akihito was killed instantly. This could create an outstanding Art of Combined Attack.”

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, “This move mainly depends on Yiyi’s trust in me. If she had hesitated even a bit, it wouldn’t have had the same effect.”

Sun Yiyi giggled and said, “If you dared to let such a beautiful wife of yours be split in half, then I can’t help it, can I?”

Everyone laughed, thinking about how this Art of Combined Attack is truly difficult. Even Dragon Nine and Dragon Six, despite being brothers for years, might not dare to completely entrust their lives in each other’s hands at that moment.

This isn’t about not trusting that the other will protect them, but worrying that the partner might not have the ability to protect them, and instinctively keeping some reserve to self-protect, which is human nature.

And for Sun Yiyi to achieve that level, who would dare say her feelings for Song Xiaodong aren’t deep? They would be the first to jump out and say it’s not true.

The warship that Song Xiaodong was on docked directly at the military base, with Lu Lang personally coming to greet Song Xiaodong.

“Congratulations! The hero returns triumphantly,” Lu Lang greeted with a laugh and hugged Song Xiaodong directly.

Song Xiaodong gave Lu Lang a warm hug and said, “I have not disappointed the mission from Old Chief.”

Lu Lang released Song Xiaodong and laughed heartily, saying, “This time was really gratifying. The leaders above already know and praised you highly over the phone.”

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, “Looks like there will be quite a bit of benefit.”

Lu Lang chuckled and then put on a serious face, “That’s your personal matter, what benefits do you want from the state? Besides, haven’t you gained enough benefits now? How much trouble has the nation blocked for you, don’t you know?”

Song Xiaodong rubbed his nose and said, “I know they take good care of me up there, which is why I’ve been wholeheartedly doing what they ask.”

Lu Lang patted Song Xiaodong’s shoulder and said, “That’s the reason why they appreciate you. You’ve never acted solely for personal gain. Usually, anyone occupying the Su Family’s industry would think about how to dominate it forever.”

Song Xiaodong shrugged and said, “I still have self-awareness, knowing what I should take and what I shouldn’t.”

“But speaking of, your strength has really improved too fast. It’s quite enviable. Can this method be used to train the troops?”

Song Xiaodong smiled wryly and said, “If it can be done, I certainly wouldn’t be stingy. However, I can refine a batch of medicine to enhance everyone’s physique.”

“To what extent can it be improved?” Lu Lang’s eyes instantly brightened.

Song Xiaodong thought for a moment and said, “I think an improvement of fifty percent should be no problem.”

“Fifty percent combat power?” Lu Lang shouted.

“Yes.” Song Xiaodong nodded firmly.

“How many people can it cultivate?”

Song Xiaodong thought for a moment and said, “I think it’s still better not to involve too many people, just form an elite unit. Because once this medicine spreads, it might end up in enemy hands, and then we wouldn’t have the advantage.”

“Quite right, I was overexcited just now. But does your statement mean this medicine isn’t particularly hard to prepare?”

Song Xiaodong said, “The materials might not be difficult to obtain, but the main aspect is the need for special methods, which makes it challenging, so it can only be done gradually.”

Song Xiaodong can indeed create some medicine to cultivate True Qi, but ultimately it requires one’s own True Qi foundation. Those without it gain nothing. What he mentioned is similar to the refining done for Lu Yaobing, which can stimulate human potential, distinct from True Qi.

“I understand, that’s fine. Fifty percent combat power, that would absolutely dominate globally in solo combat capability, wow!” Lu Lang couldn’t help but punch the air in excitement.

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, “So will there be benefits for this task?”

Lu Lang replied cheerfully, “Of course! I’ll report this upstairs, they’ll definitely reward you. This is a contribution that benefits generations!”
