Next day.

Chikan Bay, a private clinic on Peace Branch Road.

Though the clinic is located in a remote area, the interior is tidy, with bright lighting, giving it a rather professional appearance.

"Xiao... Lv Bai, I really have to thank you this time."

Daoist Master lay on the white hospital bed, his expression complex.

He of course knew Lv Bai, after all, even Lv Bai’s Body Forging Technique was given by him.

Yet he never expected, Lv Bai’s prowess to be this formidable.

He was fished out of prison by Lv Bai, and upon briefly understanding the situation outside, realized how rapidly things had changed.

Lv Bai not only swiftly became the Speaker of Chikan Bay, but also recruited people from Oshima High School and the prison, bringing all three forces under his command, progressing to the point where the complete unification of the city seemed not far off.

Such an event has never occurred before, especially not achieved in such a short time.

The Daoist Master must have been incredibly shocked by the current state of affairs.

Fortunately, based on how the Daoist Master acted with indifference when he was the speaker of Chikan Bay, it was clear he lacked any desire for power.

Thus, Daoist Master did not mind Lv Bai taking his place as Speaker, and such a matter would not cause any conflict between them.

"Dao Ming Temple! You certainly should be thankful! Cough cough..."

On the bed opposite Daoist Master lay Dao Zheng Wood.

His body was wrapped in bandages, like a mummy lying stiffly, with only his eyes exposed.

He was severely injured in a previous battle, even with his Grandmaster Martial Artist physique, he barely survived.

After resting for a few days, he was much better, but still coughed when speaking with a bit of force.

Dao Zheng Wood glanced at Daoist Master with a displeased expression and said, "You are truly devoted, if it weren’t for young friend Lv Bai, you’d be dying in prison, and your old father would be sending a child to the grave instead of vice versa."

Hearing this, Daoist Master instinctively dodged his old father’s gaze and decisively looked at Lv Bai.

"Thanks without words, I will definitely repay you."

Daoist Master rose from the hospital bed, straightening his posture.

Initially trying to change the subject, he gradually became serious: "Just tell me, what can I do for you?"

"Just focus on recovering first."

Lv Bai chuckled, waving his hand.

When first arriving in this world, someone like Daoist Master, a top Martial Artist, could naturally provide substantial help.

However, at this stage, the prison chief alone is comprised of four Top Grandmasters.

Dao Ming Temple, a standout among Grandmaster Martial Artists, while not completely insignificant, is somewhat less critical.

Regarding the target mission, whether having him or not makes little difference.

This aspect is steadily advancing with Xiong Pi leading the proficient members of the triple alliance, unless the other three major city forces can foresightfully unite beforehand.

Otherwise, with approximately twenty Grandmaster Martial Artists, no singular force can compete.

This dueling segment’s target mission has been merely a matter of time since Lv Bai acquired the "Node".

Bang bang bang~

There was a knock on the door, a pause for two seconds, and Xiao Xueyin entered.

After glancing at the Daoist father and son in the room, he nodded simply and then addressed Lv Bai: "Lv Bai brother, may I speak with you for a moment?"

Lv Bai knew that Xiao Xueyin’s nature was always very steady, he wouldn’t seek him urgently unless for some special occasion.

Based on this, he promptly rose and followed Xiao Xueyin out of the hospital room.

...

"... So, that’s basically it, how do you plan to handle it?"

Standing at the clinic entrance, Xiao Xueyin explained the situation broadly to Lv Bai.

In brief, some street-watchers discovered the traces of Death Fighters.

Importantly, it wasn’t those Death Fighters causing trouble.

Apparently, some Death Fighters have started internal conflicts, fighting each other fiercely.

Due to the noise from their battle, Xiao Xueyin managed to notice their whereabouts.

After quietly listening to Xiao Xueyin’s explanation, Lv Bai was left with only one question.

"Where?"

Various exit routes from Chikan Bay had personnel stationed, ensuring most Death Fighters couldn’t easily slip away from Chikan Bay.

If these Death Fighters honestly found a place to hide, Lv Bai indeed wouldn’t actively seek them out to kill.

But now, since many Death Fighters have shown themselves, Lv Bai certainly couldn’t ignore it.

If these Death Fighters were seeking death, he did not mind collecting these moving points.

Without delay, Xiao Xueyin replied, "Health Street."

"Thanks for your trouble."

After saying this, Lv Bai tapped the ground with his toes, immediately soaring like a missile.

While heading to Health Street, the node acquisition countdown coincidentally ended.

[Ding!]

[Successfully acquired current Death Arena node.]

[Double points reward loading completed.]

[Current points: 202, Current rank 1/24]

Lv Bai anticipated this outcome, showing no significant reaction visibly.

Interestingly, unlike previous duels where Death Fighters ganged up on him, this time no Death Fighter attempted to wrest the node from his hands during the countdown.

This was arguably his most peaceful countdown among several dueling encounters.

Contemplating these matters, Lv Bai crossed several blocks, gradually approaching Health Street mentioned by Xiao Xueyin.

Lv Bai was still suspended mid-air, yet he first observed the densest crowd on the street.

Over a hundred gangsters wielding various street fight weapons were surrounding seven or eight battling Death Fighters, with the various forces steadily sending reinforcements.

However, the Death Fighters’ display of supernatural abilities perplexed and deterred these gangsters from having the courage to intervene.

The battling Death Fighters were entirely uninterested in the surrounding gangsters forming a blockade.

Judging by their ferocity, they clearly disregarded their own lives, desperate to kill those right in front of them first.

Lv Bai adjusted his descent position, landing on a nearby building rooftop.

He observed the chaos below, rubbing his chin: "These young people today are terrifying, I was never this reckless back when I was imprisoned."

Notably, despite there being many Death Fighters involved in the fight below, no one made any shouts.

While deploying impressive attacks towards others, everyone remained silent, epitomizing one who acts ruthlessly without many words.
