Sweat on his forehead instantly evaporated into vapor, slowly rising, mist enshrouding the air.
Lin Hai sat cross-legged on a pavilion in the middle of the small lake, his entire being radiating a focused aura.
Seizing this lull, he had just barely managed to recover some strength and decided in his heart that he would look for an opportunity to slip away as soon as possible, take a few days to recuperate, and head home which he hadn't done in two days—President Ouyang must be going crazy by now.
In the distance, within the artificial hill, stood two people gazing in this direction.
"Who would have thought, this mysterious young man has already touched the threshold of becoming a Supreme Strong. Give him a little more time and the right opportunity, and he will surely become a new Supreme Strong," by Su Zhentian's side, an elder Supreme Strong of the Su Family said with a heavy heart as he watched Lin Hai from afar.
Such youth with this level of strength was unheard of; his talent was devilishly extraordinary.
"What I am most concerned about now is the matter regarding the Ancient Heavenly Path; they might be trying to covertly devour our Su Family," Su Zhentian said, frowning worriedly. As the Family Head, he had to consider from the Su Family's perspective first. Only if the Su Family was safe, would he have the leisure to pay attention to other matters.
"Ancient Heavenly Path is a very mysterious organization. I especially investigated it yesterday, but still found nothing," said the elder.
"However, as an external force, even if they infiltrate Huaxia, they would not dare to act openly. After all, Huaxia harbors many Experts. Once these outsiders are discovered to be encroaching on internal forces, they will be met with thunderous measures."
Su Zhentian nodded, "Thank you for the trouble, we must find out the hidden members of the Ancient Heavenly Path as soon as possible; otherwise, the Su Family cannot have peace for a moment."
"Mm, the state recently held the Dragon and Tiger List in Huadu, attracting many Experts. I doubt those of the Ancient Heavenly Path would dare to surface during this time. We still have a chance to breathe. I also know a few of the adjudicators who came to compete; they are all quite strong. We can take this opportunity to invite them over as guests," the elder suggested.
Su Zhentian finally eased his worries slightly.
"It's you, Family Head, who needs to worry about the Yu Family. After all, Miss Su last night…" the elder said with some concern.
Thinking of this made Su Zhentian feel annoyed and restless; a grown daughter really can't be kept at home.
"As for the Yu Family, I will keep making excuses and slowly settle this matter," Su Zhentian had a plan in mind—to stall until the other party lost patience, and the previous marriage agreement would naturally dissolve without either side causing too much commotion, achieving the best of both worlds.
Su Zhentian and the elder left.
Not long after, Lin Hai slowly opened his eyes, having recovered a fair bit of his strength.
Moreover, he noticed a strange and surprising issue.
That was, the Gang Qi within his body seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation.
This transformation felt ineffably delightful, as if his entire body was reveling in nourishment.
And this transformation, started occurring after yesterday when Lin Hai treated Su Wanjing's grandmother's injuries.
"Last night, I used Gang Qi to absorb the disease source from Su Wanjing's grandmother's body, but I didn't expect that today my Gang Qi would change. Could the power I cultivate have the effect of devouring disease sources and strengthening myself?"
"If that's really the case, then in the future I could treat some intractable diseases more often, absorbing the disease source from the other party's body, wouldn't my Gang Qi transform even faster?"
"If it continues like this, my Gang Qi will soon undergo a qualitative change, breaking the shackles and entering the realm of the Supreme..."
Lin Hai thought of this and got somewhat excited.
To be a Supreme Strong, that is a goal many people can't reach in their lifetimes, yet now it felt within arm's reach for Lin Hai.
With his strength, if he stepped into the realm of the Supreme Strong, he would instantly become an outstanding figure among the Supreme Strong.
Supreme Strong also had lower, middle, and upper tiers.
Based on Lin Hai's current strength and potential, once he enters the Supreme realm, he would at least be at the Middle-tier Peak standard.
At present, among the world's international forces, including those within Huaxia, high-tier Supreme Strong are very rare, mostly being lower and middle-tier.
"If I really can become a Middle-tier Peak Supreme Strong as I predict, then in Huaxia, I can fully investigate the black hands behind the scenes who framed me back then without having to be too cautious of organizations like Yanhuang Soul. After all, if it comes to it, I can retreat with my whole body intact, as they couldn't possibly do anything to me."
Lin Hai felt he had found the opportunity for a breakthrough to become a Supreme Strong. Next, he needed to stabilize this opportunity and break through in one fell swoop amidst the accumulation of his strength. If successful, he would be able to step into the realm of the Supreme Strong, and even if he failed, he could try again from the start.
In one's life, there are only two chances to become a Supreme Strong. If missed, one is practically destined to be disconnected from that realm for life.
Thus, Lin Hai was both anticipating and anxious about the breakthrough to become a Supreme Strong.
Beep beep—
His phone suddenly rang and vibrated, interrupting Lin Hai's thoughts.
Checking the number, it was a call from Ouyang Ruoshuang.
"Hello, sister-in-law your highness, what can I do for you?" Lin Hai asked with a smile.
"Hmph, you beast of a brother-in-law, come and pick me up. Cousin left a note saying she is away on a business trip for the next few days; nobody's taking care of me now."
"Ah? The CEO is away on a business trip?" Lin Hai had been worried about being dead meat after disappearing for two days, but now he was relieved. It seemed that President Ouyang was over the incident at the club.
"Yeah, lame brother-in-law, hurry up and pick me up. I can't go home." Sister-in-law huffed.
"What? What happened? Are you being blocked by someone?" Lin Hai was puzzled, thinking nobody should dare to bully the sister-in-law with Xiao Jiji's protection at her school.
"No, wu wu, our music teacher is a complete scumbag, ... wu wu."
"What? Damn it! You just wait, I'll go beat that damn music teacher to death!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hai lost his cool. How dare someone bully his sister-in-law? He was ready to beat that music teacher until he couldn't stand straight.
Ouyang Ruoshuang holding the phone, had only said half of what she wanted when Lin Hai suddenly yelled indignantly and hung up, leaving her gritting her teeth in frustration. "You lousy brother-in-law, not even letting me finish speaking, you're so unreliable, wu wu."
Lin Hai put away his phone, clenched his fist feeling furious, "Dare to bully my sister-in-law, that music teacher is toast."
