Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 53 Kingpin's Attempt

At night, Bai Ye got out of Kingpin's convertible and looked at the gates of the Mainz Gym, already looking forward to tomorrow.

Full of anticipation, Bai Ye and Camilla slowly walked towards the club's gate.

With a soft click as the door closed, Bai Ye placed his right hand on Camilla's shoulder.

"What are you doing..." Camilla, who was beside her, seemed to realize something and awkwardly placed her right hand on her left wrist.

"I'm very satisfied with your performance today, as you didn't take the opportunity to run away."

As Bai Ye spoke, he pressed Camilla against the wall, gently lifting her chin, his gaze remaining calm as he said, "So I hope you can satisfy me even more next time."

"You..." Camilla placed her right hand on Bai Ye's firm chest and struggled slightly.

But with her extraordinary physical abilities, the strength she was using at that moment was so great that she couldn't even push an ordinary person away.

"You can refuse, just like last night. The choice is yours," Bai Ye asked, holding her fair, lotus-root-like right arm.

As soon as he finished speaking, Camilla's struggling movements gradually disappeared. Bai Ye, understanding the implication, chuckled and picked Camilla up by the waist, heading towards Camilla's makeshift bed.

"Wait! I have something I'd like to ask you." Camilla suddenly said halfway through the walk.

"Hmm? What can't be said later?" Bai Ye asked, puzzled.

"Well..." Camilla's face suddenly flushed, and she buried her head in Bai Ye's chest, asking, "Can I suck your blood while we're doing it later?"

Bai Ye: "...Isn't this a bit too twisted?"

"Is it okay?" Camilla, who usually exudes a mature and sophisticated aura, suddenly asked pitifully, the contrast between her demeanor and tone extremely alluring.

But what awaited her was Bai Ye's calm refusal: "I refuse. The risk is too great. I don't want to accidentally become a vampire."

As soon as he finished speaking, amidst Camilla's disappointed gaze, Bai Ye flicked his right finger, unleashing a surge of internal energy that turned off the switch in the room.

It was already late at night, but for Bai Ye and Camilla, the night had only just begun as the lights went out.

……

Outside, after sending Bai Ye back to the club to fulfill his wish, Kim immediately had his driver take the convertible back to his villa.

On the way, with his exceptional execution skills, he took out his phone and made call after call, repeating all the requests Bai Ye had made, demanding that they be completed by 8 a.m. the next morning.

Upon returning to his residence, he found Tombstone, Bullseye, Scorpion, and several Level 3 mutants hired with money standing before him. These were the core members who maintained his forces.

"Boss, what did you call us here for?" Tombstone asked first.

"I have a qigong manual here that I acquired from someone else. After you have thoroughly studied it, try practicing it. It will greatly benefit your strength. The first person to develop internal energy will be rewarded with 50."

King said, then took out the cultivation manual he had just copied from Bai Ye's phone.

"Qigong?" The henchmen exchanged bewildered glances. Could such a thing really exist?

Although they were puzzled, they did not show it. Instead, they immediately agreed, took the copy of the Zixia Divine Skill from Jin Bing, and began to study it under the lamplight late at night.

Kingpin remained expressionless as he watched them learn. After all, as a powerful figure, he couldn't risk his life; he should let his subordinates try the good stuff first.

But the more the group looked at the tombstone, the more mysterious it seemed. If things like meridians and dantian really existed, they should have been discovered long ago. Why was it only discovered now? It didn't make sense.

Although I didn't believe it, I couldn't refuse the boss's request, so I just treated it as a paid favor to fool him.

As elites under Kingpin, these individuals naturally possessed excellent memories. Two hours later, as the first person to thoroughly read the content emerged, the others gradually began their practice as well.

As everyone harbored their doubts, 30 minutes slowly passed. One of the bald mutants felt a strange flow of energy appearing within his body and was shocked to discover that the thing his boss had given him was actually real!

Soon, after calming his mind and slowly channeling his inner energy into his dantian, the mutant immediately stood up and proudly said, "Boss, I did it! A trace of inner energy has now successfully appeared in my dantian."

"Oh, very good." Kingpin, who was sitting on the sofa waiting, had his eyes light up. Only thirty minutes had passed, and his talent was quite impressive.

Meanwhile, the tombstone standing nearby stood up abruptly, looking at the bald mutant in shock and saying, "You've really mastered internal energy."

"Why would I lie to you?" The bald mutant nodded. "The secret manual the boss gave me really can help you develop internal energy."

After saying this, the men, including Tombstone, couldn't help but regret their actions. They hadn't actually prepared to cultivate at all; they had just been spacing out and going through the motions. They never expected that this hothead would actually achieve results and earn them $50 for nothing.

Soon, inspired by the first person to succeed, the others also became serious, and within a total of four hours, everyone successfully cultivated a trace of internal energy.

Furthermore, Kingpin discovered that mutants seem to have a higher level of talent than human experts like Bullseye, and can develop a trace of internal energy in an average of 40 minutes, possibly due to some kind of physical advantage.

Seeing that everyone had developed internal energy, Kingpin smirked and said, "You've all done very well. Tombstone, now transfer the internal energy within you to Is."

"Huh? Boss, why? I've only managed to cultivate two strands of internal energy, while Is has five strands." Tombstone said reluctantly.

The Is mentioned in the tombstone is the mutant who first cultivated his first trace of internal energy.

Kingpin smiled slightly and told the group about Bai Ye's theory of internal energy flow. Soon, everyone present became excited.

If that were truly possible, then with enough money, who would bother painstakingly cultivating internal energy? Each of them would have hundreds or even thousands of underlings under their command, who could easily be allowed to cultivate, and they could harvest their earnings regularly each month. They could even buy it with money without any problem.

Once Tombstone understood this, he quickly stopped being reluctant and urged Is: "Sit down quickly, I'm going to transfer my inner energy to you, don't just stand there."

Soon, following the power transfer procedure, Tombstone transferred all two strands of internal energy within his body to Is, then asked expectantly, "How is it? Did it work? You should have 1.6 strands of internal energy now, right?"

"It is indeed useful, but the internal energy I converted and stored in my dantian is only a tiny trace."

Is frowned and said, "It seems that the smallest unit of internal energy is a thread. If it's any smaller, it won't be retained and will be wasted in the meridians."
