Stuck on the highway, I just flew home on my sword!

Lin Ye closed his eyes.

The Spirit Gathering Array is operating at full speed.

The air inside the rented room became extremely viscous.

The dense spiritual energy transformed into a visible white mist, completely enveloping Lin Ye's body.

The mental cultivation path of "Tianyan Daozhang" surged wildly through the meridians.

The originally wide meridians were forcibly widened again by the enormous spiritual energy.

The bones emitted a dull, thunderous sound.

This is a unique marrow cleansing and bone tempering process in the late stage of the Transcendent Realm.

The free spiritual energy within a three-kilometer radius southeast of Jiangnan City was completely drained by this domineering suction force.

Even the ivy in the community's green belt grew by half a meter in just a few hours.

Lin Ye opened his eyes.

Two extremely dazzling silver sword lights shone deep within his pupils.

The sword light pierced through his body, leaving two sword marks half an inch deep on the opposite white wall.

He reached the late stage of the Transcendent Realm and succeeded.

His current spiritual energy reserves are three times stronger than before.

With sheer physical strength, one could easily withstand armor-piercing rounds from a large-caliber sniper rifle.

Lin Ye raised his right hand.

Palms facing up.

A pale blue flame suddenly ignited.

Samadhi Fire

As his cultivation level increased, the color of the flames became deeper, with a layer of pure white faintly visible at the core.

There was no heat leakage whatsoever.

But even the surrounding space was distorted by this high temperature.

Lin Ye's mind stirred.

The bronze storage ring flashed with a faint light.

The small pile of dark red hematite ore fell into his palm.

The Samadhi Fire instantly engulfed it.

The incredibly hard ore melts instantly into dark red molten iron the moment it comes into contact with the flame.

The black impurities turned into flying ash and fell down in a flurry.

Lin Ye used his divine sense to control the molten iron, continuously compressing and purifying it.

A full half hour passed.

The ore, originally the size of a fist, was refined into a piece of reddish-brown metal only the size of a thumb.

Hematite mother.

This is an excellent basic material for forging flying swords.

Lin Ye put it back into his storage ring.

Once he gathers all the other ingredients, he will be able to forge a true natal flying sword.

The sky outside the window was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.

Its daybreak.

At the same time.

Jiangnan City First People's Hospital.

The VIP ward on the top floor of the inpatient department.

The air was filled with a faint smell of Lysol.

Ling Wei, dressed in a loose hospital gown, leaned quietly against the rocking headboard.

The morning light filtered through the gaps in the blinds, cutting parallel patches of light across the white quilt.

Her face was still a little pale, but her breathing was completely steady.

She has been in this position ever since she woke up yesterday afternoon after completing all the tests.

The scene on the green train that her colleague had described to her kept replaying in her mind.

That aloof figure in gray casual clothes.

The young man who single-handedly defeated three armed thugs in ten seconds.

And there was that finger hovering above her abdomen, emitting a white light.

That's a method that modern medicine simply can't explain.

The door to the ward was gently pushed open.

Anya walked in carrying a stainless steel insulated bucket.

She changed out of her police uniform today and wore a beige cardigan, looking like an ordinary girl next door.

Anya placed the thermos on the bedside table.

Unscrew the cap.

The rich aroma of chicken soup instantly filled the entire ward.

"Captain, how are you feeling now?"

Anya pulled up a chair and sat down, her eyes full of worry.

"Is there any discomfort in the wound?"

Ling Wei looked at this little follower who usually went through thick and thin with her and smiled slightly.

His voice was slightly hoarse.

"Much better."

"Thank you, Anya."

Anya chuckled, revealing her two little tiger teeth.

"Captain, I'm so glad you're alright."

"We owe it all to that handsome guy this time."

"If it weren't for his intervention, those three robbers would have caused who knows how much trouble they would have gotten themselves into."

As she spoke, Anya picked up a soup spoon, scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup, and blew on it.

"Come on, Captain, open your mouth."

Ling Wei was speechless for a moment.

She reached out and took the soup spoon and the thermos.

"I can do it myself."

"It's not like my hand is broken."

Ling Wei took a sip of chicken soup.

The temperature was just right, and the flavor was rich and delicious.

She put down her spoon and looked up at Anya.

"Have you found his information?"

This was the thing she cared about most after waking up.

That young man is definitely not an ordinary person.

That terrifying skill and unbelievable medical expertise.

Anya shook her head.

"I haven't checked yet."

"I was so busy communicating with the doctor about your condition yesterday that I didn't have time to think about anything else."

"However, it seems that the other party also got off in Jiangnan City."

"If we just check the train station's surveillance footage, examine the exit records and facial recognition, we should be able to find out quickly."

Ling Wei nodded.

I won't say any more.

She always felt that things weren't that simple.

Just then.

The door to the ward was pushed open again.

A middle-aged man in a police uniform strode in.

He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes; the police rank insignia on his shoulders gleamed under the lights.

Lei Jianguo, Chief of the Jiangnan City Police Department.

"Chief!"

Anya quickly stood up, stood at attention, and saluted.

Ling Wei also prepared to put down the thermos and get up.

Lei Jianguo strode forward and grabbed Ling Wei's shoulder.

"Alright, lie still."

"You're a patient now, so let's not stand on ceremony."

Lei Jianguo pulled over another chair and sat down.

He carefully examined Ling Wei's complexion.

"How are you feeling?"

"The doctor said the recovery is going very well."

Ling Wei reported the facts truthfully.

"Chief, I can't feel any pain at all anymore."

"I even feel lighter than before."

Lei Jianguo nodded solemnly.

He pulled a brown paper bag from his briefcase.

I opened the paper bag and took out a thick stack of medical examination reports.

"Of course you can't feel the pain."

Lei Jianguo handed the report to Ling Wei.

"These are the results of a comprehensive examination conducted on you personally by the head of surgery at the city hospital."

"Do you know what his expression was when he saw this report?"

Ling Wei took the report and turned to the first page.

Anya also curiously came over.

Lei Jianguo placed his hands crossed on his knees.

His tone was low and somber.

"The old director was pulling at his hair in his office, saying that this completely violated common sense in modern medicine."

"A shotgun pellet pierced the edge of your spleen."

"Under normal circumstances, you would have to undergo open abdominal surgery to remove part of your spleen and spend at least a week in the intensive care unit."

"but."

Lei Jianguo's gaze became extremely sharp.

"Your spleen has not only fully healed."

"Not a single scar was left."

"The cells in your damaged muscle tissue and blood vessels have more than twice the activity of normal cells."

The ward fell into dead silence.

Anya's eyes widened, and her mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.

Ling Wei's hand holding the report tightened slightly.

The paper made a slight rubbing sound.

She guessed that the young man's methods were quite ingenious.

But when these data are truly presented to us, the shock is still indescribable.

"Chief, that young man..."

Ling Wei raised her head, her eyes filled with urgency.

Lei Jianguo knew what she wanted to ask.

He sighed.

Place an A4 sheet of paper with only a blurry screenshot printed on it on the bedside table.

The screenshot is from the surveillance camera at the exit of the train station.

In the picture, Lin Ye is carrying a backpack on one shoulder, his profile is aloof.

"I had someone retrieve all the surveillance footage from the train station overnight."

"His facial features were cropped out."

"It directly accesses the highest-level database of the public security system for facial comparison."

Lei Jianguo paused for a moment.

The air in the ward seemed to have become somewhat heavy.

"And the result?"

Anya couldn't help but ask.

Lei Jianguo looked at the two of them.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, uttering each word clearly.

"As a result, the system immediately displayed a red warning."

"His file was encrypted."

"The encryption level is S-level top secret."
