Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Mr. Brown looked at the ice coffin being moved and hesitated for a moment.

but,

Finally, he took a few steps and came to the ice coffin.

"Open!"

He had no expression on his face and gave an order to the staff.

The staff who were moving the items stopped when they saw Mr. Brown.

but,

They all knew that what was inside the ice coffin was very important to Professor Lucas.

Therefore,
Everyone had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and dared not open the ice coffin.

Brown's face remained cold. He didn't argue with the porters, but instead walked up to the ice coffin and tried to lift the lid.

"Damn it! Stop—!"

Just as his hand touched the ice coffin lid, a fierce roar came from the side.

Then,

A figure suddenly rushed over, fiercely protecting the ice coffin, and shouted:
"Brown, are you crazy! This is something I brought back from Antarctica, what are you trying to do with it?"

Brown shrugged and said calmly:
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to see what these 'higher-dimensional beings' you mentioned actually look like?"

Unlike Professor Lucas, who is physically weak, he is not only a world-renowned psychology expert, but also a 'king-level' fighting master.

An extremely strong killing intent could be felt emanating from him.

Professor Lucas's imposing manner was immediately overwhelmed by Brown's presence.

The two men held similar positions within the 'Blackwater Group,' and if Mr. Brown were to open the ice coffin, he would be powerless to stop him.

"Brown, you can't do this!"

Lucas shouted urgently, "He hasn't woken up yet and can't see any outsiders!"

Brown said calmly, "I'm just taking a look; it won't affect your experiment."

Just as Mr. Brown's hand was about to lift the lid of the ice coffin...

Swish-!
Chen Jie, who was lying in the ice coffin and his whole body was immersed in the 'gene serum', slowly opened his eyes.

this moment,
A sharp killing intent flashed in his eyes.

but,

Mr. Brown was about to open the ice coffin, but suddenly stopped.

He looked up at Lucas, who was lying on the ice coffin, and then looked into the distance.

Surprisingly, Brown left the ice coffin but did not insist on opening it.

He shook his head and said calmly:
"Professor Lucas, since you're so concerned about this body in the Antarctic glacier, then I won't look at it!"

Next,
He didn't say anything more, but silently turned and left.

He sensed a strong hatred in Lucas's emotional state.

He didn't want to offend Professor Lucas over some trivial matter.

Although the two men are of similar status, Professor Lucas's research on gene mutation biotechnology has just achieved a major breakthrough.

Offending Professor Lucas at this time would not do him any good.

After thinking about it,
He ultimately decided against opening the ice coffin to avoid a conflict with Lucas.

There was no way around it; he was very familiar with Professor Lucas's obsessive and mad personality.

If I actually open the ice coffin, Professor Lucas might fight me to the death.

Inside the ice coffin, Chen Jie breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This guy has an incredibly strong will!

If the other party opens the ice coffin, then my identity will likely be exposed.

Although he could freeze himself, he used his spiritual senses and powerful internal energy to conceal his heartbeat and vital signs.

but,

He could fool Lucas, but he couldn't fool the person who was near the ice coffin.

Moreover, in the past two weeks, he had brainwashed Lucas, and the hypnosis was easily discovered.

If someone is of lower status than Professor Lucas, even if they have doubts in their heart, they wouldn't dare to say much.

But the person who was near the ice coffin was no less important than Professor Lucas.

Therefore,
Once he opens the ice coffin and observes Chen Jie's condition, it would be easy for Chen Jie to be exposed.

Once exposed, Chen Jie's plan will be ruined, and he will have no choice but to kill this person and leave.

If he wants to leave, naturally no one can stop him.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Brown stopped to check, thus preventing a bloodbath.

Lucas finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Brown leave.

Next,
He quickly had the ice coffin placed on a balance vehicle and sent to the underground biological laboratory on 'Ice and Fire Island'.

Half an hour later.

Inside the underground laboratory, Professor Lucas locked the door from the inside to ensure everything was safe.

He then carefully approached the ice coffin and opened the lid.

Inside the ice coffin, the frozen Easterner's spiderweb-like wounds on his body had already healed.

In the past two weeks, Lucas has used up all the 'genetic agents' stored at the Antarctic base.

He was extremely excited when he saw the wounds on the body inside the ice coffin disappear.

"That's fantastic! The external injuries have completely healed!"

"But he hasn't woken up yet, it seems the 'gene serum' is still not enough."

"I must wake him up—!"

Awakening the frozen Easterners became Professor Lucas's obsession.

Seeing that Chen Jie's injuries disappeared after absorbing the 'gene serum' drove him even crazier.

He looked at the 'gene serum' that had completely disappeared inside the ice coffin, quickly took out the walkie-talkie, and shouted:
"Robbio, have the warehouse send all the 'gene serum' produced this month to the lab!"

"Furthermore, double the laboratory's 'genetic agent' quota!"

"I am conducting a major experiment that requires a large quantity of 'gene therapy' and also to scale up the production of the therapy plant."

"Hurry! Get it done right away!"

Less than fifteen minutes after hanging up the walkie-talkie.

A fully automated transport vehicle was seen carrying Lucas's laboratory through a passageway.

These are all newly extracted 'gene drugs', which have not yet been packaged, and there are more than 200 liters of them.

Without much thought, Lucas poured the 'gene serum' directly into the ice coffin.

As the color of the newly added 'gene serum' gradually faded, its effects were being absorbed.

Lucas was so excited he almost jumped up, and he burst into laughter like a madman.

"Success! Haha—we're almost there!"

"The absorption rate of the 'gene serum' is getting faster and faster; it seems he'll wake up soon!"

"Eastern War God, you are my pride!"

"With you here, I am sure I can crack the code of the ninth stage of genetic transformation."

Lucas's eyes turned bloodshot, and he looked like a madman.

His expression was like that of a complete madman; it was difficult to find the right words to describe his state at that moment.

Inside the ice coffin,
Chen Jie was completely immersed in the 'gene serum'.

He activated the Vajra Technique, frantically absorbing the life essence from the 'gene potion,' and was so excited that he almost groaned out loud.

—That was awesome!

He had just finished treating the external injuries on his body.

The external physical form, the dragon claw hand form, and the sword form are in a state of extreme thirst.

It was like a rain shower in the desert.

His body desperately and greedily absorbed the 'essence of life'!
boom--!
The 'Sword Dao Dharma Form' began to coalesce anew, with the essence of life continuously transforming into the body's potential.

The 'Sword Dao Dharma Image', which had become somewhat weak, solidified and became fuller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The life potential that he had burned away in the abyss of the ocean last time was now rapidly recovering.

The [Sword Dao Dharma Image] hovered in the sea of ​​consciousness, its surface radiating bursts of intense light.

at the same time,

The [Dragon Claw Technique] has also been formed, appearing as a giant claw in the void, forcefully breaking through the sky!

"This is what makes cultivation so exciting!" The amount of condensation and absorption he just absorbed was equivalent to at least the 'life essence' of two deep-sea octopuses, if calculated according to the standards of deep-sea creatures.

To know,
He had to spend at least a day to find and kill a giant deep-sea octopus.

The nearly 200 liters of 'gene serum' is equivalent to the 'life essence' contained in ten deep-sea giant octopuses.

Even if he hunted and killed it with all his might in the deep sea, it would take at least ten days to accomplish.

The key is,
Each time the 'gene serum' in the ice coffin is completely absorbed, more 'gene serum' is added in.

Lucas used all his power and spared no expense to try to restore Chen Jie.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a core executive of the 'Blackwater Group,' with an astonishing amount of research funding for 'gene biotechnology.'

Each 10ml vial of gene therapy costs $500,000.

He poured in 200 liters of gene-enhancing agents at once, which cost the equivalent of 10 billion US dollars.

He had already consumed nearly 500 liters of gene serum at the Antarctic base last time.

"Over the course of a month, I can absorb 1000 liters of gene serum, which is equivalent to a cost of 50 billion US dollars!"

"The Blackwater Group is indeed wealthy and powerful! I'm confident I can condense the three Dharma Forms within two months!"

Using other people's resources to cultivate is an absolutely amazing feeling!

this moment,
Chen Jie felt that his plan to plunder the Blackwater Group's research results was simply too perfect.

The resources Blackwater Group has acquired over the years, including the essence of deep-sea whales, sharks, and various other deep-sea creatures, will continuously be transformed into its own strength.

It's much more efficient than him diving alone into the deep sea.

During his month and a half in the deep sea, he absorbed less than one-tenth of the 'life potential' stored by the Blackwater Group.

How could it not feel good to reap the benefits without so much effort?

"Spending one day here is equivalent to spending ten days in the deep sea abyss, and there's no danger at all!"

"Even if the 'Blackwater Group' finds me, I'll just fight my way out!"

Icefire Island is heavily fortified and guarded, with its most elite troops stationed there.

but,

With Chen Jie's current martial arts level and the Refining Spirit Realm, he is essentially a god!

Even if his existence is discovered, he is not afraid.

to be frank,
He really didn't take the defenses of 'Ice and Fire Island' seriously.

for the rest of the time.

Chen Jie was in seclusion in Lucas's laboratory, studying diligently.

He would use hypnosis to brainwash Lucas once a day and deepen the imprint in his mind.

Over time, Lucas has become a complete believer in him.

Even if Chen Jie asked him to die, he would not hesitate for a moment.

Therefore,
Whenever the 'gene serum' in the ice coffin ran low, Lucas would go to great lengths to get it replaced.

The fleet from Icefire Island alone has already ventured into the deep sea three times, capturing a large number of sharks, whales, and giant deep-sea octopuses to obtain their blood essence.

Every day, Chen Jie absorbed the life essence contained in the 'gene potion' while cultivating the [Extreme Sword Visualization Method] and the [Diamond Skill].

"Dragon Claw Hand", "Limitless Sword Technique", "Thirteen Protectors' Horizontal Training"!
These three techniques have all successfully condensed the [External Dharma Form].

After his spiritual refinement realm broke through to the initial stage of 'Contemplation', it became completely stable.

His martial arts prowess is also improving without any hindrance.

Mid-stage of Meridian Opening Qi!
Late stage of the Meridian Opening Qi Realm!
-

The Great Perfection of Meridian Opening and Qi Strengthening has been achieved!

at last,

As time went by, his martial arts skill level broke through to the Great Perfection of the Meridian Opening Qi!

In terms of martial arts prowess, he is on par with Huang Zhidao and Guan Shanyue, the Grand Stewards of the Imperial Household Department of the Great Qian Dynasty.

but,

In terms of combat power, he could easily defeat Grand Steward Huang Zhidao!
The reason is simple: his current realm of spiritual refinement has broken through to the 'Concentration' stage!
Simultaneously,

He has almost mastered the 'indestructible body'!
The cracks in his skin had long since healed, and his entire body radiated a bronze glow.

Once he unleashed the 'Horizontal Body External Dharma Form', his entire body emitted bursts of Buddhist light.

-

Two months later.

Ice and Fire Island!
Blackwater Group headquarters, underground conference hall.

The entire conference room, with its huge LCD screens on the walls, had a futuristic feel to it.

The floor is made entirely of high-definition crystal, while the walls and ceiling are made of high-strength alloy capable of withstanding a nuclear attack.

A huge rectangular conference table was placed in the conference hall.

On the ceiling is the Blackwater Group's logo!
Two rows of chairs were placed next to the conference table.

Today is a special day; the annual summary meeting of the Blackwater Group has begun.

Those who were able to enter the conference hall were all high-ranking members of the Blackwater Group.

There are assassin organizations, mercenary groups, a global underground boxing alliance, biotechnology companies, and military industrial groups!
High-level officials from various fields gathered together.

The person sitting in each of these chairs enjoys considerable prestige worldwide.

Each of them is an exceptionally talented individual in their respective field.

but,

In the center of the conference table, instead of a chair, there was a holographic 3D projection device.

at this time,

A figure appeared under the holographic 3D projection, revealing his face—it was none other than General Rodon, the leader of the Blackwater Group!
Because it was a holographic 3D projection, General Rodan appeared to be several times larger than the others.

He was like a totem, high above all.

"This meeting will mainly discuss five things."

After the meeting began, General Raton began to speak.

"The first thing is the current global war situation, and our military trade is developing very well!"

"The world must be plunged into the turmoil of war so that our military trade will not stop and we can obtain the greatest benefits."

"More importantly, we must curb the arms trade of other countries."

"—"

After the first matter was discussed...

The heads of the military industrial groups participating in the meeting began to give detailed reports on this year's revenue and plans for the next year.

Military trade is extremely profitable and is currently one of the largest sources of revenue for the 'Blackwater Group'.

Therefore,
Blackwater Group has always attached great importance to military trade.

Wherever war breaks out, there will inevitably be the Blackwater Group.

It represents the North American military-industrial complex and can even determine the global war situation.

After the head of the military industrial group finished his report, the head of the mercenary organization was next to give his report.

Half an hour later.

An old man stood up to report; it was none other than Ye Kun, the "Eight-Faced Buddha".

He stood up and reported in a deep voice:
"This time, although the missile hit the plane in the assassin group's attempt to assassinate the Asian Grim Reaper, they did not find the Asian Grim Reaper's body!"

"We suffered heavy casualties in Phnom Penh, Cambodia!"

"Until the body of the Asian Grim Reaper is found, we cannot conclude that he is dead."

"Chen Jie, the Asian Grim Reaper, is an extremely terrifying figure. Even Adam, the 'Son of God' who is ranked number one on the assassin list, was instantly killed by him."

"According to the information obtained from the current investigation, the assets under the control of the Asian Death God exceed three hundred billion US dollars!"

"If he were alive, he would be the biggest threat to our 'Blackwater Group'!"

Wow——!
Everyone in the conference hall was deeply moved upon hearing the news.

For a while,
Everyone started talking, and the atmosphere in the conference hall became lively at that moment.

"Could the intelligence be wrong? The Asian Death God is just a boxer, how could he possibly own so many assets?"

“I remember investigating him before; he didn’t have any background with the mysterious Eastern superpower.”

"My God, is Adam, the 'Son of God,' dead? How come we didn't hear about it before?"

"Will the final of the global underground boxing 'battle of the cornered beasts' be canceled? There has been no news from the Asian 'Grim Reaper' for more than three months."

"I guarantee that the chances of Chen Jie, the Asian Grim Reaper, surviving are extremely slim—!" (End of Chapter)
