Starting from The Witcher, he slaughtered his way across the world.

In the human body, the spine is the main beam, the backbone, the pillar, and the center of the skeleton, connecting from the neck to the waist and hips.

Basically, any major movement needs to be completed through the spine, the "main pathway" of the whole body.

If the spine is flexible, the whole body will be flexible; this is not just empty talk.

The previous basic strengthening method was at most a kind of exercise for physical training. Even if it was upgraded to LV5, the effect on Luo Fan would only be equivalent to that of a strong young man who has been training for many years. His muscles would become stronger and his strength would increase. That was all.

However, the advanced Spine Strengthening Method is no longer just about improving physical fitness; it fundamentally reshapes the body and solidifies one's strength.

Luo Fan's body was underdeveloped due to long-term malnutrition, and was like a mud-brick house.

The basic strengthening method repaired the walls and compacted the soil, making the house more sturdy, but it was still ultimately an adobe house.

However, the Spine Strengthening Method is like erecting a main iron beam in this house, making the house stable and powerful, with a solid foundation, capable of withstanding and building, and able to build tall buildings without collapsing.

This greatly increases Luo Fan's potential.

"The changes are huge; I feel full of energy now."

Luo Fan clenched his fist, feeling a tight and powerful grip. As soon as he threw a punch, all the power in his body could be mobilized from his feet to his waist, and finally concentrated in his fist through his spine.

Snapped!

With a sudden crack of the whip, a whip came crashing down on Luo Fan from the side.

With lightning speed, he reached out and grabbed the whip that was being lashed out, his gaze turning cold as he looked in the direction from which the whip had come.

"What are you doing here?"

Two men stood opposite, both quite robust, each holding a whip; they were the ones responsible for patrolling the mine.

These inspectors were originally from the labor camps. They were specially selected to watch over and monitor the miners in the mines. Relying on their power, they often bullied the weak miners.

He just hadn't bothered Luo Fan before.

After all, he always exceeded his targets, never slacked off, and his performance was outstanding, so there was no reason to criticize him.

Luo Fan vaguely remembered the two men; their names were Hall and Ethan. A miner had been whipped by them and left groaning in pain on his bed for a while.

None of these inspectors are good people; they are all notorious.

Hall's whip was now in Luo Fan's hand. He tried to pull it off, but couldn't. He roared, "Kid, you dare to resist? Let go!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Fan released his grip and stared at the two people opposite him: "So, did I do something wrong?"

"Whether you did something wrong or not is for us to decide. You're openly slacking off here; do you think we didn't see it?"

Hall sneered, staring at Luo Fan with ill intent:

"The supervisor has strictly forbidden slacking off. Everyone else has already mined over a hundred pounds of ore, and you're still slacking off here. Shouldn't you be punished?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Fan frowned and said, "The task requires 1,500 jin, and I need to dig at least 2,000 jin every day. You're already causing trouble before we've even started today. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

"You dare to argue your way out of this passive resistance? You're really asking for a beating."

Hall snorted and lashed out with his whip again.

Luo Fan dodged this time, but his anger slowly rose within him.

Seeing Luo Fan's actions, Hall sneered, "You dare to dodge? I've had my eye on you for a long time. You're going to get a beating today!"

Ethan, standing to the side, said impatiently, "Stop wasting your breath on him. A few lashes and he'll behave!"

The supervisor specifically ordered them to teach this kid a lesson, which means the kid must have offended the supervisor.

In other words, the two of them can now manipulate Luo Fan however they want.

Of course, I'm not afraid at all.

At this moment, Luo Fan also realized that these two people were clearly there to deliberately cause him trouble.

Marcus rejected Luo Fan's request to change jobs yesterday, and today someone came to cause trouble. Luo Fan absolutely does not believe that no one instructed him to do so.

But why would Marcus send someone to teach him a lesson?

Luo Fan couldn't quite understand this, since he hadn't actually done anything wrong.

Although Luo Fan had already thought about escaping from the labor camp, he certainly hadn't revealed that idea.

Moreover, Marcus's opinion of him shouldn't be that bad.

Could it be...?

Luo Fan had a vague idea in his mind, but he wasn't sure, and he certainly couldn't let himself get whipped for nothing.

He stared at the two people opposite him, his mind tense, weighing his options.

In a daze, he saw Hall and Ethan's shadows swaying eerily in the lamplight, their strange claws outstretched as they reached for him.

Again!

Luo Fan was quite troubled, as these illusions were appearing more and more frequently these days.

Then his vision blurred, and the illusion changed again.

Hall and Ethan's faces changed, becoming distorted and twisted, their mouths splitting to their backs, their eyes becoming narrow and long, staring at him mockingly like demons, their words turning into eerie laughter.

The laughter was grating and made people irritable.

Luo Fan kept retreating, only to feel the grating laughter coming incessantly, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes sharp, sometimes low, sometimes sinister, repeatedly stimulating his fragile nerves.

It's so noisy!

He couldn't help but cover his ears, his back against the wall with nowhere left to retreat, and said in a low, hoarse voice.

"I've endured it all, why are you forcing me?"

"Force you? Heh, so what if I force you?"

Hall sneered and lashed out with his whip, certain that Luo Fan would not dare to resist. This lash would surely tear his skin and make him obedient.

Luo Fan looked up, his eyes bloodshot. He suddenly reached out with his left hand, grabbed the whip tightly in mid-air, and then pulled it back forcefully.

Hall stumbled and was pulled towards Luo Fan, who stared in shock as a huge fist came crashing down on him.

With a loud "bang," blood spurted from Hall's nostrils, his nose seemingly embedded in his face. With a mouthful of teeth, he was slammed to the ground, and the intense pain and screams instantly echoed throughout the mine.

"Aaaaaah!"

Seeing this, Ethan froze for a moment, then unconsciously took a step back.

Luo Fan looked up at him, his eyes filled with a terrifying ferocity.

"You dare to resist? You're asking for it! The supervisor won't let you get away with this!"

Ethan staggered backward, threatening Lofan.

Luo Fan couldn't hear what he was saying at all; he only saw that hideous face twisting and laughing at times, and heard sarcastic laughter constantly ringing in his ears.

The next second, he took a step forward, and his clenched fist slammed out from behind his shoulder like a sledgehammer, hitting the man's face hard.

"puff!"

Ethan was struck so hard by the punch that he saw stars and fell to the ground in a sorry state, his consciousness momentarily blank. Then a sharp pain jolted him awake; blood was streaming from his nose, and the bone in his nose was broken and crooked.

"Ahhh, my nose! No! I... I was wrong!"

He looked at Luo Fan in terror, begging for mercy incoherently.

"Keep laughing."

Luo Fan simply looked down at him and kicked out without hesitation, striking Ethan in the chin.

The laughter around him stopped abruptly. Ethan's eyes rolled back, his body went limp, and he fainted.

The hallucinations and auditory hallucinations in Luo Fan's eyes vanished with those two punches and one kick, leaving him feeling refreshed and invigorated.

He picked up the whip from the ground, turned around, and looked at Hall, who was staring at him in terror.

"You, you mustn't do anything reckless, Supervisor... Ah!"

Hall even tried to invoke Marcus's name, but before he could finish speaking, he was whipped across the mouth and screamed in pain.

The miners who had gathered around after hearing the commotion cheered inwardly, feeling incredibly relieved, but none dared to voice their support for Luo Fan.

The crowd looked at him with some sympathy.

The labor camp strictly forbids insubordination, fighting, and brawling. Luo Fan even dared to hit the inspector, which shows that he doesn't respect his superiors. His fate will definitely be terrible.

If possible, Luo Fan did not want to take action.

But these two were clearly instructed by someone, and it's highly likely that it was Marcus.

If that's the case, he'd like to see what Marcus is up to.

Thinking of this, Luo Fan raised the whip in his hand and lashed it down hard at Hall.

With a snap, Hall's skin was torn open, and his screams echoed throughout the mine.
