Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

A deep, muffled sound rang out, and a smile appeared on Mark's face behind his arm.

Mark blocked Jing Yuan's attack, then roared, "I'm making my move!"

Mark feinted with a left hook followed by a right whip kick, and Jingyuan was fooled, losing his composure.

Mark seized the opportunity to unleash a series of attacks, each one landing on Jing Yuan.

Jingyuan felt as if a dozen solid weights were suddenly being smashed down on him!

Compared to Mark, the guys at the law firm were as soft as cotton.

"Hey, this kid's really tough. He took more than a dozen punches from the captain and he can still stand up!"

The onlookers below the stage began to discuss the matter.

Mark gave Jingyuan some space to adjust his pace.

After regaining his footing, Jingyuan followed Mark's movements, throwing a left hook followed by a right whip kick, but Mark blocked it with a raised knee.

Immediately, Jing Yuan unleashed another combo, but Mark simply leaned back and turned slightly to easily dodge Jing Yuan's attack.

Mark was indeed experienced; he was able to easily defuse Jing Yuan's attacks.

"What? Still not in the zone?" Mark teased.

Jingyuan was definitely not in the zone.

He held his breath and focused his mind, quietly releasing his spiritual power.

Jingyuan couldn't fully capture Mark's movements with just his eyes, but it was a different story with his mental perception.

"Phew!" Jingyuan's eyes changed.

Mark knew Jingyuan was getting serious, so he said, "I'm going to get serious too!"

Mark threw a punch, the sound of the wind rushing through his fist.

The power and speed of that punch were immense. Everyone in the audience knew that no one could withstand the captain's punch.

However, Jingyuan's actions surprised everyone.

Jingyuan also threw a punch, which collided directly with Mark's fist.

Bang!

The two are evenly matched!

Mark immediately withdrew his fist and lashed out with his right leg like a whip.

Bang!

Their two legs collided together at the same time!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The two launched a fierce and relentless offensive.

Mark punched Jing Yuan in the face, and Jing Yuan punched Mark in the face in return.

Their fists moved like phantoms, swift as the wind.

The audience was stunned!

Mark is widely recognized as formidable; on the Lighthouse, no one can fight Mark to this extent.

The two exchanged punches and kicks swiftly and decisively.

The two fighters engaged in a thrilling battle, much to the delight of the audience.

The two fought for dozens of rounds until Jingyuan was exhausted.

Mark looked like he could still play, but he didn't continue.

In other words, the two players ended in a draw.

Mark smiled with satisfaction. He wished he had more warriors like Jing Yuan.

Chapter 16 Charles's Winning Over

The news that Mark and Jingyuan had tied during training quickly spread.

No one expected that someone on the lighthouse would be able to rival Captain Mark.

The upper level of the lighthouse, in Charles's residence.

Charles, who has always been irritable, has become increasingly emotionally unstable lately.

Recent attempts to target Mark have failed one after another, all thanks to Jing Yuan.

Now, he heard another piece of news. This Jing Yuan was actually comparable to Mark in combat strength!

Although Jingyuan had previously defeated more than a dozen priests, Charles didn't take it seriously. He also knew the limitations of his men.

But to be able to fight Mark to a draw, that definitely puts them among the Lighthouse's top combat forces.

Mark is already very capable, and now he has Jing Yuan by his side. How could Charles not be angry?

“My Lord!” The slender and graceful Healer, Fan Lu, approached and gently patted Charles’s chest, saying, “Jing Yuan is different from Mark. Captain Mark enjoys the City Lord’s deep trust and is also the commander of the Hunters. His status is the same as yours, My Lord. Captain Mark is your competitor. But Jing Yuan is just a newcomer. I think the City Lord’s intention is for you to win over Jing Yuan, rather than make him your enemy and hand him over to Mark’s side.”

The words of the Brahma were a revelation to Charles.

"Then tell me, how should we win over Jing Yuan?"

"It's actually very simple. What do people need most? Among these needs, which ones can Captain Mark give, and which ones can't he? As long as we can give Jingyuan what he wants but can't get, he can be used by us."

Charles pondered for a moment, then smiled slyly and said, "Alright! Go and invite Jingyuan over."

……

It was another early morning, and Jingyuan and his three roommates went out to prepare for training at the armory.

Suddenly, a slender, lovely girl appeared in front of him.

Two priests followed behind the girl.

Jingyuan wondered: People from the law firm? What kind of trouble is Charles up to now?

"Hello, Jingyuan!" Fanlu introduced himself, "I am Fanlu, the One Who Embraces Light."

"Vajracchedika? Vatican? Two Lightbearers?"

Jingyuan then realized that the Light Bearer was just a religious position.

"Did the head of the organization want to see me?"

Jingyuan knew that it must be Charles who wanted to see him, otherwise why would Fanlu come looking for him?

"Yes. The head of the society invites you to the Light and Shadow Society for a discussion." Fan Lu's voice was gentle, quite different from Fan Di's fierce demeanor.

"I'm not familiar with the head of the association, so there's nothing I can say if I go."

Fan Lu said in a calm voice, "How do you know there's nothing to say if you don't go? Jing Yuan, this time, it's the head of the association who sincerely invited us to clear up some previous misunderstandings."

"Clear up the misunderstanding?"

Fan Lu's words piqued Jing Yuan's curiosity. Was Charles such a magnanimous person?

After thinking for a moment, Jingyuan said to his roommates, "You guys go first! I'll go with her."

"Jingyuan, should we..." Chu Feng and the others were worried that Charles was going to deal with him, and asked if they should ask Captain Mark for help.

Jingyuan shook his head, "No need, I'll be right back."

Jingyuan followed Fanlu and they arrived at the Church of Light and Shadow.

Inside the church, there is a private space created by Charles.

Charles sat quietly at the long dining table, his eyes somber.

Fan Lu pushed open the door and walked in, with Jing Yuan following behind.

When Charles saw Jingyuan arrive, he actually got up to greet him.

"Hahaha! Jingyuan, you've finally arrived!" Charles walked enthusiastically toward Jingyuan.

"Chief, what brings you here to see me?"

“Sit down and talk.” Charles gestured, indicating that Jingyuan should sit down in a dining chair.

With Jingyuan's current strength, he is not afraid of Charles at all. Even if someone is lying in ambush with a gun, he can escape unscathed.

However, Jing Yuan scanned the area with his mental power and found no one lying in ambush.

Charles, seated at the head of the table, called out to those beside him, "Bring it up!"

Several maids came over with plates, first placing the cutlery, then the meal ticket, and then opening the lid to reveal a fragrant steak in front of Jingyuan.

Even Jing Yuan was taken aback.

On the lighthouse, being able to eat milk and bread was already considered a sign of being among the elite.

Even the wealthy can't get their hands on this kind of steak.

Before Jingyuan could finish his surprise, another maid started pouring red wine.

Seeing Jingyuan's surprised expression, Charles was very satisfied.
