Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality-Chapter 1087 - 547: Shapeshifting

His gaze revealed an unfathomable depth, as if he could see through everyone's heart.

When Paxton mentioned Joseph's remarks on fate, Asia suddenly laughed. He picked up the topic and began to tell his own story. His voice was calm and powerful, as if each word contained profound philosophy.

"Fate, huh?" Asia murmured, then laughed, "Maybe I can tell you all my story, maybe you can glimpse a bit of the story behind Joseph."

As Asia's story unfolded, a tale of fate, struggle, and perseverance gradually emerged.

Ma Yi and Paxton listened intently, as if they were witnessing another version of Joseph, one equally strong but more human.

Meanwhile, in another scene, Siphet, Asilia, and Asia sat around the campfire.

Their faces bore the marks of hardship and fatigue, but their eyes shone with determination. They were once strangers, but fate brought them together. For the sake of their loved ones, they chose to fight and struggle.

"Once we finish this last trial, we should have more money!" Siphet's optimism infected everyone.

However, Asia fell into contemplation; his sister's death led him to deeper thoughts about fate.

At that moment, the sudden gunfire broke their reverie.

At the crucial moment, Asia made a choice, using his body to shield Siphet from the bullet. And at that moment, Asilia understood what true courage and sacrifice were.

"Asilia, you stay here." Asia's voice was gentle yet firm.

Their relationship deepened at that moment, as if they had gone through a baptism of life and death.

The two shooters lay at Asia's feet. This was their fate, and their choice.

However, the distant rustling hinted at the approaching enemies.

Siphet opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but Asilia spoke first: "Okay." Her face no longer the same as before, she tried to squeeze out a smile as she spoke, yet the smile made her look more eerie.

"Asia, you never truly liked me, did you?"

Asilia's smile gradually vanished, she gazed at Asia with a look that was heart-wrenching.

Asia paused briefly and did not respond. He just stood up, extinguished the campfire, and said to Siphet beside him: "We should go."

The two of them turned and left, leaving Asilia muttering alone: "You never had feelings for Siphet."

Soon after, the dense gunfire drowned out her voice.

"You mean, you want me to help you eliminate the remaining two contenders?" Lin Beichen asked in surprise.

Li Qiao revealed his identity and Joseph's arrangement for a three-person competition to him.

"But what about those fighting over Joseph's base outside? Aren't you planning to deal with them?" Lin Beichen asked in confusion.

Li Qiao looked at him, a humble smile still on his face: "Those people are not our concern, that's something Five should consider."

Lin Beichen stared deeply at Li Qiao, sensing that Li Qiao was hiding something, but unable to pinpoint exactly what.

At that moment, Flying Eagles and others collapsed one after another.

"This dish..." Xia Luyao, having eaten little, was still conscious but unable to speak coherently.

Lin Beichen's expression did not change, nor did Li Qiao show much interest, as his demeanor gradually turned cold.

The image of a genteel young noble vanished, replaced by an ominously gloomy young man.

"Seems like someone like you always harbors ulterior motives." Li Qiao dusted himself off, stood up, and looked down at Lin Beichen, "I'm curious, knowing there was knockout powder in the dish, why did you let your little girlfriend eat it?"

"First, I didn't know there was poison in the dish." Lin Beichen stood up too, using spiritual power to remove the chair under Li Qiao's gaze, "Second, she's not my girlfriend."

Li Qiao's face was expressionless, only a chilling indifference.

"Answer my question, or the next moment I'll let you die," he said calmly.

Just as he finished speaking, his subordinates fired.

Lin Beichen's face remained unchanged, others only saw him suddenly vanish the instant before the bullets hit.

This was Shapeshifting! Lin Beichen slowly pulled out a gun from his pocket, aiming at Li Qiao.

"Now, are you still sure you can kill me?" he remarked with a cold smile.

Suddenly, two talismans emerged from Xia Luyao's body, rising into the air to form a circle of light, enveloping Flying Eagle and others along with her.

This was the talisman Lin Beichen had given Xia Luyao earlier. This was the reason Lin Beichen had Xia Luyao go to the table.

Li Qiao chuckled lightly. "Inviting you here today was truly a wise decision," he said.

Then, the "Dr. Zhou" enveloped by the light circle slowly awakened.

He grinned a ghastly smile, taking off his outer garment to reveal strong muscles. This was no researcher, but clearly a soldier in disguise!

"Lin Beichen, now that I have your companions in my hands, do you have anything to say?" Li Qiao stared at the gun's dark barrel pointed at him, hands in his pockets, unfazed.
