Chapter 47: The Day Off!
Chapter 47: The Day Off!
Fang Yuan exhaled a deep breath after he finished his regular daily training.
The first round was finished a day earlier, and since today was a day off, he decided to train and walk around the city.
The second round would check his physique, and those things weren't in his control, so he didn't worry about that. Anyway, the first round and the last round mattered most. His results had exceeded his expectations, so he was more confident about the results.
Fang Zan and Fang Hua were waiting for him when he opened the door.
"Let's go!"
He said and then walked; the two siblings followed with wide smiles. The family had rarely traveled outside since coming to the city, so the two were very excited about it.

"How are our preparations?"
"Things are ready. We will succeed this time and make the federation dread us." A response came out right away.
The man with a slight face disfigurement couldn't help but smile when he heard the response. He couldn't help but caress the burn marks and the scars from cut across his face.
He still remembered clearly how his handsome face turned into such a hideous appearance. He hated the human Federation from the depths of his heart and was willing to do anything to destroy them.
That goal was the primary reason he was chosen as the head of the mission to affect the annual examination in Green Bear City.
Other than him, there were three Golden Cores who were participating in the mission, and all four of them were present in the meeting.
The third round would begin a week later, so the group decided to have one last meeting before the mission.
BOOM!
The conversation came to a sudden stop as a loud explosion rang in their ears, and the next moment, a blinding light emerged in their eyes.
The people immediately tried to escape as the light began to devour them. Unfortunately for many, it was too late.
The light devoured them, and they melted into nothingness. The four Golden Cores could only run from the scene with red eyes filled with anger.
"Look, if it isn't Cui Guqian!"
The disfigured man immediately stopped when he heard the playful voice.
"Shi Haoli!" Cui Guqian said with gritted teeth.
Cui Guqian saw Shi Haoli, and he immediately lost whatever control he had of himself. His already red eyes turned even redder, and he charged at him with a beastly growl.
Shi Haoli still maintained that playful expression but immediately backed away. He was confident but not stupid.
Cui Guqian was a ninth level Golden Core like him. It was not intelligent to face someone like that head-on. He was confident of his victory since he had already done it once, but the first time, he was seriously injured, so Cui Guqian escaped.
Shi Haoli wouldn't let that happen again. This time, he would not only win again but also capture Cui Guqian without much injury.
The other three Golden Cores looked back for a moment, but they didn't dare stop and continued their escape.
How dare they even stay there when it was a major city in the Federation? Forget them; even their leader wouldn't dare to fight in the city.
"You fight with him; we will stop the other three."
There were two more people with Shi Haoli, and all three of them were ninth level Golden Cores. The enemy side had three extra Golden Cores, but since they were only at the seventh level, two were more than enough for the three enemies.
"Did you really think the Federation would let someone like you do whatever you want?"
Shi Haoli decided to provoke Cui Guqian further while dodging his beastly attacks.
"How dare you plot against the Federation after what I did to you the last time?"
"Don't you have brain to understand the difference between a victor like me and a loser like you?"
Roar!
Cui Guqian let out an angry roar and became even more insane. At the same time, a strange transformation began to take place.
Dark hair began to grow out of his body, while his back began to hunch down. Nails turned bigger and sharper while two horns began to grow out of his forehead.
Cui Guqian growled even more as the transformation was extremely painful.
Shi Haoli's eyes turned solemn since the transformation was slowly pushing Cui Guqian toward the tenth level of Golden Core.
There was a world of difference between the ninth and tenth levels, so Shi Haoli couldn't let that happen. He immediately took out a bunch of talismans from his space ring and threw them at Cui Guqian.
Cui Guqian's transformation wasn't new to the Federation, so every officer related to the security department of the Federation was given a batch of thunder talismans.
It not only caused large destruction to the enemy, but it also forcefully stopped the transformation due to its extreme yang characteristics.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Roar!
Slam!
The talismans exploded one after another, engulfing Cui Guqian. He let out an anxious and painful roar in response as his body was charred beyond repair.
Shi Haoli was preparing for the next attack, but suddenly a blur passed by him, and he was thrown backward.
The large building immediately shattered, causing a large cloud of wooden and soil dust in the air. There were soundproof arrays installed outside the building while the explosion was limited to some parts of the structure so as not to cause chaos in the city.
The Federation would rate a city every ten years, depending on various factors. Safety was a large factor, so if that happened openly, it wouldn't help the cities. There were rewards for better grades, but there were also punishments
Fang Yuan was on the bus when he and everyone else on the bus heard a loud sound and then the explosion of dust. Everyone on the bus looked from their windows, but the scene of the explosion seemed to be at some distance, so they could only see the dusty sky.
"Let's hope it's nothing serious!"
The thought passed through many minds on the bus.
