Solving the case: Combining the police dog's olfactory genes at the beginning

On the field, Luo Fei only paused for a moment before regaining his calm and composed demeanor.

He casually tossed the broken half of the iron chain onto the ground, making a crisp "clang" sound.

Then, he bent down and picked up the heavy iron hammer that had been placed on the ground earlier. It weighed more than 20 kilograms.

Weighing the heavy iron hammer in his hand, Luo Fei turned his gaze to the designated location twenty meters away, at the junction of the seventh and eighth levels—a "treasure chest" where he needed to drag the iron ball to its side and retrieve the key to pass the level.

With a casual flick of his arm, the 20-plus-pound iron hammer flew through the air like a nimble dart, tracing a beautiful parabola before the stunned gazes of tens of thousands of people.

With a loud "bang," it landed precisely next to the "treasure chest"!

This seemingly casual move actually contained an extremely precise control over power! It once again elicited a murmur of gasps from the audience.

But Luo Fei's next move really made everyone's hearts jump into their throats, almost stopping!
He ignored the broken iron chain and the other tools, and walked straight to the huge, dark, heavy iron ball whose bottom was firmly held in place by an electromagnet.

He bent down and grabbed directly with both hands the thicker, stronger network of metal chains covering the surface of the iron ball.

What...what does he want to do?!

An absurd idea, one that defied all common sense and imagination, flashed through the minds of every witness like lightning!

Could it be... that he intends to... lift this iron ball up?!
"No...that's impossible..."

"He's gone mad?!"
That's two tons! And it's being held by a magnet!

"The world record for deadlifting is only 500 kilograms! Lifting over 300 kilograms is considered top-level!"

"If he can lift me up, I'll do a handstand while washing my hair live on stream!"

"I'll eat my keyboard live on stream!"

The stands and the live broadcast room were filled with disbelief and discussions that thought Luo Fei's idea was out of the ordinary.

This goes beyond the scope of "great strength"; it's simply a fantasy!

However, under the horrified, ghost-like gazes of everyone, Luo Fei, with his waist and stance perfectly aligned, gripped the chain net on the iron ball tightly with both hands, and his [super god-level power] erupted!
"rise--!!!"

A deep, dragon-like roar burst forth from his chest!
With a sickening metallic scraping sound and the crackling of an electromagnet being forcibly broken free, the enormous two-ton iron ball, its bottom seemingly welded to the ground, was actually... lifted off the ground by sheer brute force!
The moment the bottom of the iron ball left the ground, a series of tiny electric sparks even burst forth due to the strong attraction of the electromagnet!

But this is not over yet!
Luo Fei's arm muscles bulged to an inhuman level, his veins bulging like coiled dragons. He suddenly exerted force in his waist and let out another roar!
"Get up there...!"

Under the intense gaze of tens of millions of people around the world, the enormous iron ball, symbolizing absolute weight and the shameless cheating of the US team, was actually lifted above Luo Fei's head with a perfectly executed powerlifting motion!

Then, with a slight slump in his shoulders and a quick bend and extension of his arms, he actually managed to steadily... hoist this enormous creature onto his seemingly not-so-broad shoulders!

"!!!"

silence! Deathly silence!

The entire Spartan Arena, along with all the live broadcast screens around the world, seemed to have been muted at that moment!

Everyone lost the ability to speak and think. They could only stare wide-eyed, their eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, intently at the figure carrying a two-ton iron ball on his shoulder!

The visual impact and emotional shock of this scene are ten or even a hundred times stronger than when the iron chain was broken!
Kyoto, office of the Director of the National Security Division.

The cup of top-grade Longjing tea that Director Lei Wanting had just picked up, still steaming hot, froze in mid-air. The tea swayed slightly, but he was completely unaware of it.

His usually calm and composed face was now filled with extreme shock and disbelief; his lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.

His secretary's mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

Inside the special task force base, all the members watching the game, whether clerical or field staff, were frozen in front of the screen, their minds blank.

In the VIP stands, the expressions on John and Horton's faces were beyond words; they were a complex mix of shock, bewilderment, fear, and a collapse of their worldview.

Horton was frantically pressing the remote control in his hand, trying to increase the power of the electromagnet or activate other backup mechanisms, but no matter how hard he tried, the figure on the screen carrying the iron ball remained as steady as a mountain, walking step by step towards the finish line! The remote control seemed to have malfunctioned!
"Why...why didn't it work?! Fuck! Fuck!!"

Horton roared in exasperation, veins bulging on his forehead.

On the field, Shaquille O'Neal of the United States had already used his immense strength to drag the iron ball to the designated position, picked up the hammer, and was preparing to smash the final stone cabinet.

He subconsciously glanced back, wanting to check on his opponent's progress.

That one glance was enough to make him freeze in place, as if struck by lightning!
What did he see?
That Great Xia man... he... he carried the iron ball... on his shoulder?! While walking?!
O'Neal's massive, mountain-like body trembled violently, the hammer in his hand nearly slipping from his grasp. The muscles in his face twitched violently, his eyes filled with incomprehensible horror and a hint of... fear!
This has completely overturned his entire understanding of the word "power"!
Luo Fei carried the enormous iron ball with steady steps, like a giant god from ancient times, walking step by step toward the final checkpoint area.

With each step he took, the specially designed ground made a dull "thud," as if it could not bear the terrifying weight.

Finally, he arrived at the designated area of ​​the seventh level, next to the "treasure chest".

He shrugged slightly, exerted force with both arms, and casually tossed the iron ball on his shoulder to the ground like a rubber ball.

"BOOM!!!!!!"

An earth-shattering bang!

The specially designed hardened ground where the iron ball landed simply couldn't withstand the terrifying impact of that concentrated point. Instantly, a horrifying dent, nearly a meter in diameter and several centimeters deep, was smashed into it! Debris flew everywhere, and dust billowed into the air!
This scene once again shocked everyone!

At this moment, O'Neal had suppressed the turmoil in his heart and began to swing his hammer with all his might, smashing it against the final stone cabinet.

To ensure the US team's victory, the organizing committee "thoughtfully" increased the difficulty of this challenge, replacing the original 10-centimeter-thick cement slab with a 20-centimeter-thick natural granite! Incredibly hard!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

O'Neal's hammer blows were powerful and heavy, striking the granite with dull thuds and sending stone chips flying, but the effect was minimal, merely creating some white spots and tiny cracks. He needed time.

Luo Fei didn't even look at O'Neal. He bent down and picked up the iron hammer he had thrown earlier, preparing to imitate O'Neal and smash the stone cabinet to get the key.

However, just as he gripped the wooden handle of the hammer, preparing to exert force—

"Crack!"

A crisp snapping sound rang out!
The wooden handle of the hammer... snapped cleanly in the middle! The hammerhead fell to the ground with a clatter!

Clearly, this was also done by the US team!
They modified the wooden handle of Luo Fei's hammer beforehand to make it unable to withstand the enormous force!

"Sh-!!!"

A deafening chorus of boos erupted from the crowd! All the spectators were extremely angry and disgusted by the US team's repeated and utterly shameless cheating!

The live stream was filled with insults, and the screen was flooded with comments condemning the US team's dirty tactics.

"Hahaha!!"

In the VIP stands, James Horton and John, who had been horrified when Luo Fei lifted the iron ball, burst into triumphant and arrogant laughter when they saw the wooden handle of the hammer break! Horton's face returned to its previous sinister grin.

"You did it! No matter how strong you are, without the tools, let's see how you break through this twenty-centimeter-thick granite! You're doomed! You big pig!"

John breathed a sigh of relief and grinned maliciously.

"No matter how strong you are, you can't cook without rice! Let's see what tricks you can come up with now!"

On the field, Luo Fei looked at the broken wooden handle in his hand and the lonely hammer on the ground. Instead of showing any frustration or anger, his face... curled up a more disdainful and mocking smile.

This smile abruptly silenced Horton and John's wild laughter, and a sense of foreboding inexplicably rose in their hearts.

Under the gaze of the world—whether angry, worried, gloating, or expectant—Luo Fei casually tossed the broken wooden handle to the ground, and then... slowly walked to the stone cabinet made of twenty-centimeter-thick granite.

He moved his right wrist slightly, his five fingers slowly clenching together, the knuckles making a cracking sound.

What...is he planning to do?
Is it...

An even crazier and more unbelievable idea spread like a plague through everyone's minds!
The next moment, Luo Fei provided the answer with his actions!

He pulled his right arm back, his body like a fully drawn bow, his fist clenched, the muscles on his arm twisted and coalesced like steel wire, containing a world-destroying [super god-level power]!
Then, under the gaze of tens of millions of horrified eyes, he raised his fist, the size of a sandbag, and without any fancy moves, slammed it down on the incredibly hard granite slab on top of the stone cabinet!
"boom!!!!!!!"

A deafening roar, like a cannonball exploding, suddenly erupted, the sound waves rolling and shaking the entire stadium!

Before everyone's stunned eyes, the 20-centimeter-thick, incredibly hard granite slab, under Luo Fei's domineering and unparalleled punch, actually... cracked in the middle! A shocking crack, like a spider web, instantly spread across the entire surface of the stone slab!
Gravel and dust fell in a flurry!
However, Luo Fei seemed to think it wasn't enough!
Without pausing, his left fist followed closely behind, like a comet striking the moon, carrying even more terrifying power, and slammed hard into the already cracked stone cabinet once again!
"BOOM!!!!!!"

Then came an even more terrifying explosion!

This time, the entire stone cabinet could no longer withstand the inhuman destructive force. Under Luo Fei's iron fist, it shattered as if explosives had been planted inside! Countless large and small granite fragments shot out in all directions, and dust billowed into the sky!

As the smoke and dust dissipated, everyone saw Luo Fei slowly withdraw his fist, standing amidst the swirling dust and rubble.

Beneath his feet, the once incredibly sturdy stone cabinet had been completely reduced to a pile of broken rubble! In the center of that pile of rubble, a golden key gleamed brightly under the light.

Luo Fei bent down and easily picked up the key from the rubble.

O'Neal watched helplessly as Luo Fei, holding the golden key, strolled towards the finish line as if in a leisurely stroll, easily snapping the timer. He was completely stunned, as if his soul had been ripped away, frozen in place, his mind blank.

On the big screen, the final score of the Ganjiang Special Police Team was instantly updated—5 minutes and 56 seconds!
They're at the top of the leaderboard! Nearly twenty seconds ahead of second-place Japan's DSB team!

"We won!!! We won!!!"

"Ganjiang team is awesome! Luo Fei is awesome!!"

"Long live the Great Xia Dynasty!!"

Inside the Spartan Arena, tens of thousands of Great Xia compatriots instantly erupted into a frenzy of jubilation! Red flags surged and waved like a tidal wave, and shouts, screams, and cries blended together, the sound waves soaring into the sky!

Online, more than 30 million netizens were equally excited, and the barrage of comments was completely flooded with "Congratulations", "Tears in my eyes" and "Invincible"!
However, at this moment of universal celebration, the host of the competition, the international action superstar "The Rock" Johnson, showed an extremely embarrassed and troubled expression after receiving an urgent communication from the organizing committee. He picked up the microphone, and his voice was broadcast through the speakers throughout the suddenly quiet stadium.

"Uh...ladies and gentlemen...we regret to inform you that we have just received the final ruling from the organizing committee's technical judging panel."

He paused, then spoke with difficulty.

"In the final challenge, 'Smashing Stones to Obtain the Key,' the Daxia Ganjiang Special Police Team failed to use the provided hammer tools to break the stone slab as required, instead employing... a non-standard method, which constitutes a serious violation. Therefore... according to Article 7, Section 3 of the competition rules... the Ganjiang Team's result in this competition... is cancelled."

"The results have been cancelled?!"

"A violation?! On what grounds?!"

"It's clearly their hammer that's faulty! The wooden handle is broken!"

"A cover-up! A blatant cover-up!"

"Americans can't afford to lose! If you can't play, don't play!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering all the cheers and joy!
The audience in the stands were stunned for a moment, then erupted into a thunderous roar of angry protests and boos!

The live stream was filled with deafening curses, and a tsunami of comments condemning the organizers and the US team's shameless behavior flooded in!
Luo Fei stood at the finish line, listening to the announcer's announcement and watching the "5" being crossed out on the big screen. (End of Chapter)
