Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 70 Ling Zichen

Tiandou City, Tangmen.

The old man, who should have been an elegant gentleman, was now extremely busy.

The chemical plant explosion was actually a man-made accident.

When the Tang Clan was expanding their underground arsenal, they accidentally broke through the wall of their "neighbor's" house.

The other side thought that the Tang Sect wanted to close the net, and they fought back directly out of fear.

Many Tang Sect disciples were a little surprised, but when they found out that they were facing the Holy Spirit Sect, they subconsciously took action at the first opportunity.

Fortunately, the Holy Spirit Church was like a ditch rat that would die in the light. They quickly retreated underground after leaving behind a few corpses.

But the underground battle that lasted just a few minutes also affected the chemical plant above, and the violent vibrations cracked a pipe.

As soon as the gas leak occurred, the safety alarm was automatically activated, and the crowd who should have been evacuated immediately were told by the factory manager to wait for rescue on the spot.

The Federation must not know that the Tang Sect was building an underground arsenal, even if the Chief Consul of Tiandou City was a dove who was willing to cooperate with them.

The factory let the rescue team in only after urgently dispatching personnel to disguise the scene, but this also caused this unnecessary tragedy.

At first, only a few people were affected, but because the best rescue time was missed and the crowd was not allowed to be evacuated, the number of injured people increased several times.

The third phase expansion project of the Tang Clan's underground arsenal had been planned a year ago, but this person was obviously just sitting there doing nothing and didn't even bother to ask about the direction of the arsenal's expansion.

Only a few people knew that they were neighbors with the Holy Spirit Church, and only a few high-ranking officials in Tiandou City knew this secret.

As the birthplace of the Tang Sect, Tiandou City has an extremely glorious history. Therefore, it is also the most special existence among the Tang Sect’s branches in major cities across the Federation.

Taking up a position here means that subsequent promotions will be faster.

Therefore, this has become a place for some privileged children to gild themselves.

Logically speaking, there are always a few officials and one person doing work in a place.

Coincidentally, the person in charge was dealing with the follow-up work of a super-large safety accident at the Tang Sect's Soul Guided Artillery Research Center when he was planning the project.

What’s even more coincidental is that after the accident, the person who did it went to the Tang Clan’s exclusive hospital.

Of course he was not seeing a doctor, but visiting someone.

As the top leader, the old man naturally has to bear the main responsibility.

He definitely has no hope of promotion this time, he just hopes to handle this matter well, not asking for any credit, but just avoiding any mistakes.

Even if there is no promotion, as long as I retain the position of head of the Tiandou City branch, everything will be fine.

"Master, the chairman of Sanwu Company asked us how to explain it to the outside media."

A man walked into the office hurriedly.

The old man no longer had the gentlemanly tone he had before, but he wasn't panicking either:
"Just now, the headquarters sent an instruction to push all of this onto the Holy Spirit Church."

"I understand." The man understood instantly, but he became worried again, "But what if the Holy Spirit Church..."

"Humph! This is a righteous act performed by our Tang Sect to protect the safety of the citizens of the Federation. If the evil soul master is allowed to escape, there will probably be even greater casualties! It would be best to characterize this incident as the Tang Sect striking at the Holy Spirit Church, and by the way, give a pension to those injured workers."

The man was somewhat helpless and could only whisper:

"Master, this was our negligence after all. Why don't we give the Holy Spirit Church some compensation so that they will be willing to take the blame."

"Emm~" After listening to his subordinates' words, the hall master nodded calmly.
"That's what I meant."

He looks like he is in control of everything.

"Your Majesty, your opinion is great!"

Naturally, the subordinate understood his leader very well and immediately echoed his flattery.

……

On the outskirts of Tiandou City, in a quiet place close to the former Sunset Forest, a hospital is located.

The hospital has no name, only the Tang Clan logo at the entrance.

This is the Tang Clan’s exclusive hospital and is not open to outsiders. Only members of the Tang Clan and their families can enjoy the medical services it provides.

In Room 404 of the inpatient building, on a white and monotonous bed, a young girl was boredly flipping through a thick book. She was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, with a tag on her chest that showed her basic information.

Name: Ling Zichen
Age: 16
The reason why she is called a girl is not because of her age, but her... figure.

Her waist is very thin, but the key point is that her hips are really exaggeratedly big, round, and perky, one can even describe them as plump.

At the same time, her chest is just the right amount of fullness, and coupled with a pair of slender and well-proportioned legs, the whole person is simply the definition of sexiness.

Ling Zichen wore a pair of large black-framed glasses that took up a full quarter of her face. The oversized eyes looked a little listless at the moment.

Next to her sat a middle-aged man in casual clothes.

"Uncle, when can I be discharged from the hospital? It's so boring here. I've been here for a year. I've been flipping through books every day and can't do any experiments. Do you know how tormenting this is for me?"

Facing Ling Zichen's complaints, the middle-aged man still had a gentle smile on his face. In this year, he had heard girls' complaints countless times.

"Xiao Chen, I'm here to tell you a good news."

"Can I be discharged from the hospital now?"

The girl excitedly threw the book aside, and now she was looking at the middle-aged man expectantly with her listless eyes.

The man nodded and smiled, "I'm sorry for putting you through this year. I still want to thank you again here. If it weren't for you, we..."

"Eh~~~~" Ling Zichen waved his hand.

"It's nothing. Don't mention it again."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

The thanks the man was referring to was for the security crisis at the Tang Sect's Soul Guided Artillery Research Center a year ago.

During a research project, a problem suddenly occurred in the Tang Sect Research Institute. All the monomer positive circulation source cores began to resonate and could explode at any time.

An explosion of this magnitude is no less powerful than the simultaneous detonation of several level nine fixed-type soul guide shells. Even a Titled Douluo wearing a three-character battle armor cannot guarantee that he can resist it without injury, not to mention the researchers in the institute who are mostly ordinary people.

At the critical moment, it was Ling Zichen, an intern researcher who had just arrived, who stepped forward.

Through research instruments, she used her mortal body to connect thousands of single positive circulation source cores to her life charge, using life resonance to calm the core resonance.

This crisis was resolved without any danger, but Ling Zichen paid a heavy price for it.

In the process of transplanting the single positive circulation source core, her life was greatly consumed, and it is very likely that she will not live past the age of fifty.

Moreover, her life charge has merged with the core of the monomer positive circulation source in her body, achieving a delicate balance, making it impossible for her to replenish her life energy in any way.

Unless she can do her own research and find a way to break through.

The second is to obtain energy replenishment from a higher level.

At the same time, her appearance also changed greatly, her life charge was stimulated, and her metabolic rate and the growth of hormones in her body were several times higher than before.

This transformed her from a thin little girl to what she is today within a year.

"Okay, uncle, I'm going to go change my clothes first."

Ling Zichen stood up quickly and ran towards the changing room.

She didn't want to stay in this place for even a second.

The middle-aged man felt a little distressed when he saw the irritable Ling Zichen.

He came here today, firstly to pick up Ling Zichen from the hospital, and secondly to avoid risks.

The Tang Sect is good, but how can we build it well with this group of insects!
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to find out about Ling Zichen, he would have packed up and run away long ago.

Now that the matter is over, it's time to say goodbye to those guys who have been doing nothing but sitting in their positions.

He had already guessed that this would be the outcome, but he no longer wanted to care about it.

He had lost count of how many times he had cleaned up the mess for those guys.
