Chapter 721: The New Liang Yue

The sky was overcast, snowflakes drifting down. This endless snowfall had lasted for half a year already, with no sign of stopping.

Zhang Yi and Yang Xinxin arrived at the Deng Family Estate.

They were waiting in Deng Yuanbo’s sitting room.

Though Zhang Yi tried to keep a calm expression, the way he kept glancing toward the door betrayed the nervousness and anticipation in his heart.

What would Liang Yue be like now?

He thought to himself, feeling a mix of excitement and unease.

Before long, Liang Yue arrived.

Deng Yuanbo and Lian Cheng brought her in, and Zhang Yi could already hear laughter from the hallway.

They seemed to be getting along quite well.

Zhang Yi and Yang Xinxin saw Liang Yue.

She still looked the same as before—sharp sword-like eyebrows raised confidently, her hair tied in a high ponytail, and her well-toned body wrapped in a white fitted outfit.

It didn’t seem like much had changed.

But sometimes, to understand a person, you had to look past appearances.

Zhang Yi knew that deep down, something in her must have changed.

The moment she saw Liang Yue, Yang Xinxin excitedly ran over and hugged her teacher tightly.

"Miss Liang, are you okay?"

Zhang Yi also wanted to ask her about the experiment, but with Deng Yuanbo and Lian Cheng right there, he restrained the urge.

He calmly walked up to Liang Yue. freewёbnoνel.com

"So, how are you feeling now?"

Liang Yue looked up to meet Zhang Yi’s gaze. She smiled faintly and nodded.

"I feel great right now. I really have to thank Mr. Deng for all his help."

Zhang Yi thought to himself: Looks like Liang Yue’s strength has increased dramatically.

Since there were others around, he didn’t bring up anything too specific.

Instead, he smiled at Deng Yuanbo. "Mr. Deng, thank you very much."

Deng Yuanbo responded with a mild smile. "This was part of our agreement. I told you—if you could eliminate Moon of Corrosion, both of us would benefit."

Zhang Yi said with a grin, "Well, since you put it that way, I won’t stand on ceremony."

Looking at Liang Yue, a thought suddenly came to Zhang Yi—if all his teammates could go through Deng Family’s enhancement process, wouldn’t the entire squad level up several tiers?

With that idea in mind, and since Deng Yuanbo still needed him, Zhang Yi brought it up.

After hearing the request, a deeper smile formed on Deng Yuanbo’s lips.

At that moment, Lian Cheng, the butler, stepped in to explain:

"Mr. Zhang, you might not realize just how many resources it takes to enhance an Awakened’s strength!"

"And not everyone can endure the procedure."

Zhang Yi sighed. "I figured it wasn’t going to be that simple."

Deng Yuanbo chuckled, "While they might not progress as quickly as Miss Liang did, we can still improve their physical condition a bit and enhance some of their strength."

Zhang Yi gave a slight smile, already doing calculations in his head.

He had only asked casually and wouldn’t be so tactless as to make demands outright.

After all, this was an exchange of benefits, and he had no personal ties to the Deng Family. They had no reason to help him for free.

"I understand. Hopefully, we’ll have a chance to work together in the future."

After some small talk, Deng Yuanbo didn’t press for anything either.

He was as friendly as an NPC who just came to hand out buffs.

But Zhang Yi didn’t dare take him lightly for even a second.

This old fox was far more skilled in power games than he was.

Zhang Yi found an excuse and left with his group.

Deng Yuanbo didn’t stop them—on the contrary, he cheerfully had Lian Cheng escort them out.

He even arranged for a Deng Family car to take them home.

Before they left, he handed Zhang Yi a gold brooch.

And told him it was a relic left behind by Deng Shentong.

"With this, it’ll be much easier to get the Celestial Squad members to cooperate."

Zhang Yi couldn’t help but feel a little impressed—Deng Yuanbo had really thought of everything.

Though for Zhang Yi, he didn’t need outside help to rein in a few subordinates.

On the way back, with the Deng Family driver present, Zhang Yi didn’t ask Liang Yue too many questions.

But the moment they got home, he couldn’t stop talking.

He asked eagerly, "What exactly did the Deng Family’s experiment involve? How much stronger are you now? Are you feeling any side effects?"

Liang Yue took off her coat and hung it on the rack.

Seeing Zhang Yi’s eager and slightly nervous expression, she smiled.

"The experiment was quite strange. They put me inside a transparent organic-glass chamber. Then they injected me with some drugs and did some… very strange procedures."

Thinking back to the experiment, a chill crept through Liang Yue’s veins.

She suddenly shivered.

"It really felt like I was reborn. Literally—reborn."

"Over those three days, my entire skin was replaced. Even my blood and organs changed noticeably."

"Since I had to stay awake the whole time, the sensation wasn’t something normal people could bear!"

Her expression turned serious.

Zhang Yi couldn’t help but swallow hard.

"It was that painful?"

Liang Yue nodded.

"If someone had weaker physical condition or poor mental strength, they might’ve died halfway through or had a complete mental breakdown."

Yang Xinxin couldn’t help but walk over and gently hug her.

"Miss Liang, you went through so much pain..."

Her voice was full of heartache.

She had always deeply respected this kind and pure-hearted teacher.

Zhang Yi went quiet.

When Deng Yuanbo had brought it up, he hadn’t mentioned how painful the process was.

But he had said the requirements for candidates were very high.

And he had specifically requested Liang Yue by name.

Zhang Yi originally thought that was because he had only brought Liang Yue and Yang Xinxin to Blizzard City.

Now he realized it wasn’t that simple.

Because this kind of accelerated-growth experiment was not something ordinary people could survive.

Zhang Yi looked at Liang Yue. "You really suffered."

But Liang Yue simply smiled and shook her head.

"This was my choice. They did warn me beforehand."

"Though it was extremely painful, the gains were enormous!"

She clenched her fist. Even she was surprised by her newfound strength.

For the first time in her life, she felt like her body was a fully-fueled sports car, ready to roar at full power!

Zhang Yi stared at Liang Yue, trying to assess her current combat capabilities.

Her combat technique had always been top-notch.

Her only weakness was having devoured too few Awakened, which kept her stuck at an average Delta-level.

Based on his assessment, her overall strength used to be on par with people like Xiao Honglian and Xing Tian.

So now—what level had her power reached?

A new plan quietly formed in Zhang Yi’s mind.

A sly smile crept across his face.

"I think... we should find you a sparring partner to test your strength!"

Naturally, the "sparring partner" he meant was one of the members of his Celestial Hound Squad.
