Super Soldier

Maggie was fretful in the car the whole time. She did not know what the situation there was since the phone was hung up.

In the beginning, Maggie merely regarded this noodle house as a temporary shelter. However, as time pa.s.sed by, she became friends with everyone in this noodle house. The staff all treated her like their little sister and Auntie Li Chunlan always took care of her. She also regarded Xiao Bing as her big brother. If something happened to any one of them, her heart would be broken.

The car suddenly stopped because there was chaos on the road in front of them. The driver was aghast when a giant pit came into his sight.

Maggie threw the money to the driver, opened the door, and strode out. She got closer and closer to the pit. When she approached the edge of it, she saw a figure, which was about 20 meters away from her. Then she faintly discerned that the one who was sitting on the ground was Gao Fei.

The pit was about one meter in depth. Maggie scrambled down with prudence and walked forward. She found that there were many cracks on the ground and the widest was about half a meter, like an earthquake had just happened. What kind of a fight could cause such damage?

Gao Fei was sitting on the ground, with messy clothes and tousled hair. One side of his face swelled. It was obvious that this man had been caught in a fight before. And not far away from him, Xiao Bing was lying on the ground, unconscious. The body of Sima Hongchuan was already burned to ashes during the fight between Gao Fei and Xiao Bing. Not even a sc.r.a.p of his body remained.

The fight between Xiao Bing and Gao Fei was much fiercer than the fight between Xiao Bing and Sima Hongchuan, in terms of the damage they caused.

Upon seeing Maggie coming, Gao Fei spoke. “He was manipulated by his inner demon. I knocked him out. He will probably be fine when he wakes up.”

Maggie felt relieved. “That"s good. Brother, your face is swollen because of him?”

Maggie seemed shocked as she opened her mouth wide.

“No. I just accidentally fell on the ground!” replied Gao Fei with composure.

Afterward, Gao Fei stood up slowly and strode toward Xiao Bing. Though Xiao Bing was still unconscious and his clothes were torn up, his skin remained intact and unharmed. Gao Fei could not help cursing inwardly because he thought that Xiao Bing should look much more worn-out than him.

Maggie discreetly giggled. It was the first time she had seen Gao Fei this messy, and she had also never seen her brother lie to keep his dignity.

666 Gao Fei hoisted up Xiao Bing and put the unconscious man on his shoulder. Then he turned his head to Maggie and said, “Come on. Let"s go home.”

“Okay!” Maggie nodded her head with great force.

Carrying Xiao Bing on his shoulder and grabbing Maggie with one hand, Gao Fei gradually faded into the dark.

Xiao Bing did not know how long he had slept, nor did he expect that he would wake up in the bed in the lounge with Ye Xiaoxi sitting beside him.

Upon Seeing Xiao Bing open his eyes, Ye Xiaoxi said with delight, “Brother? Are you feeling okay?”

“Yeah… I think I just have a slight headache.” Xiao Bing checked his body and didn"t find any wounds on it. He even felt his right arm full of strength, even though it had been injured before. He gasped, wondering what happened because he remembered that he was fighting Sima Hongchuan and was defeated in the end.

He remembered his bones were almost smashed and he was losing his consciousness. “How come I woke up here? I"m supposed to be dead.”

While Xiao Bing was confused, the door was pushed open and in came Gao Fei and Maggie.

Maggie looked enraptured when seeing the awakened Xiao Bing. “Thank the G.o.ds. You finally woke up. I was terrified.”

Xiao Bing grinned. “I didn"t expect that I would encounter an Innate master. I suppose that it"s your brother that brought me back, right? Well… Gao Fei, why is that half of your face swollen?”

Gao Fei coughed out of embarra.s.sment and said in an aloof voice, “I fell on the ground when walking.”

Maggie giggled and Xiao Bing also found it amusing. An Innate master had tripped over? It was just so incredulous to others.

Obviously, Gao Fei did not want to talk about this topic anymore. “Can you all leave us alone for a while? There"s something I need to talk to the boss about in private,” he said indifferently.

Maggie agreed frankly. Ye Xiaoxi also agreed with her when she saw Xiao Bing nod his consent.

Gao Fei got close to him after Maggie and Ye Xiaoxi went out. He sat on a chair in front of Xiao Bing. He stared at Xiao Bing while saying gravely, “You killed Sima Hongchuan on your own and you left no trace of his body.”

Xiao Bing was taken aback. “Me?” he asked while pointing at his nose.

“You!” Gao Fei"s voice was still emotionless. “I examined your body when you pa.s.sed out. There was not a single wound on it. Your heart was still beating and your pulse remained strong. You were still as strong as a bull.”

Xiao Bing suddenly sat up and felt the enormous energy in his body. He didn"t seem to be a patient who had just recovered. Xiao Bing swallowed and wondered what happened.

Gao Fei continued, “Boss, I heard that the same thing had happened once when you were in the ring. Suddenly, you acquired an incredible force and then all of your wounds were healed?”

“It did happen once.” Xiao Bing recalled the fight between him and Zhu Mingyu. “I can barely recall a detail of that fight. But I heard it from them. However, this time I felt the wounds were healed faster and…”

Xiao Bing began examining his inner body. Suddenly, his face changed. Gao Fei noticed that and said, “You have reached the pinnacle of Transforming-strength and are one step away from the level of the Innate.”

Xiao Bing managed a wry smile. “Yes. Once again, the danger I faced turned out to be a blessing. It"s something I hadn"t expected.”

Xiao Bing could feel that the energy inside him was saturated. One step further could make him leap onto a whole new level.

Gao Fei continued, “It is a blessing, and it also is not. Before, I checked your body without your approval and I found that there"s another force sealed in your body. It"s very fierce and formidable, hundreds of times stronger than your current power.”

The force that Gao Fei just mentioned was Xiao Bing"s own power, most of which was sealed by Zhang Yizhi, and only a small part of it was left in his body. If it was unsealed, Xiao Bing could reach the legendary Void-breaking stage instantly. Though he could merely be at the early stage of that level, he would still be the mightiest man alive.

“But that"s not the most disturbing part… Boss, there is another force concealed deep in your body. I only cast a short glimpse of it and was astonished by its formidable intensity. It is even mixed with a certain demonic quality, which is something I have never seen.”

Frowning, Xiao Bing closed his eyes and tried to find that force with the help of his senses. But he found no trace of it at all.

Gao Fei spoke again. “Boss, you don"t need to try to feel that power. It appeared oddly and was gone quickly. There was just a small part of it that remained and it had merged into your own power. Otherwise, you could not have reached the pinnacle of Transforming-strength so quickly. What worries me is that the two forces inside your body are both so formidable. If they both are unsealed one day, I"m not sure if your body can withstand the impact. If you can"t, your body will probably explode.”

“Have you ever said this to another person?”

“No.”

Xiao Bing nodded his head and said, “Good. Keep it as a secret and don"t tell anyone about this. I don"t want them to be worried about me.”

“I know.”

“Okay. You can leave me now. I need a moment alone.”

Gao Fei slowly stood up and cast Xiao Bing a glimpse before he walked out. There was still a storm raging in his mind. Though he successfully controlled the crazy Xiao Bing last night, he was still shocked by the demonic and evil power that manipulated Xiao Bing. It endowed Xiao Bing with so much power that he even hurt Gao Fei. In Gao Fei"s memory, there was only one man who could be this powerful.

However, the scariest part was that the power didn"t belong to Xiao Bing, which meant that Xiao Bing might kill his family the next time he lost control. But surely, Gao Fei wouldn"t tell others about it since Xiao Bing had forbidden it. It needed to be solved by Xiao Bing himself.

What Gao Fei was worrying about was also Xiao Bing"s concern. Xiao Bing began contemplating anxiously. This problem had spoiled the joy brought by the growth of his power. It happened twice in just two months and it was during the time when he was on the edge of death. What should he do if it happened again?

What if his friends and family were all right beside him the next time he lost control?

Would he possibly kill the ones he loved?

Worried, Xiao Bing got out of his bed and paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly, he came to a halt. He came up with a possible solution—to ask Zhang Yizhi to unseal that power in his body and use it to suppress that demonic power.

If he succeeded, at least he wouldn"t lose his consciousness when he was at a crucial moment. Being manipulated by that demonic power was truly a horrifying feeling.

Ye Xiaoxi walked in and looked worried when she fixed her eyes on him. “Brother Bing, you look so unwell. What did you guys talk about?”

“Nonsense.” Xiao Bing grinned. “Don"t forget that I was a soldier, and what"s the characteristics of soldiers? Fearlessness and resoluteness. There"s nothing that can stand in my way. What time is it? Is the noodle house open for business?”

“None of us are in the mood for business since you fainted. And the boss said that we can have two days off. So we can have time to pay a visit to the Su family.”

Xiao Bing grinned. “I think today is the perfect day for it. So shall we go?”
