Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

”Even if you’re very strong, you can still run into unexpected trouble,” Chief Bai said, laying out his concerns. This was also why he had been silent for so long moments ago. There were simply too many uncertain factors overseas. Most importantly, these uncertainties were mostly targeted at Zhang Beixing. To be fair, the chief actually didn’t want Zhang Beixing to go.

Zhang Beixing himself had also considered the chief’s concerns. Once he went abroad, whether he liked it or not, this was the situation he was bound to face. If it had been before, and the chief had said this, Zhang Beixing wouldn’t have insisted and would have given up immediately.

But now...

He took a long drag from his cigarette and then, WHOOSH, exhaled a plume of smoke, feeling his body, which had grown stronger after a month of training.

Zhang Beixing began to assess his current strength. Unbreakable Divine Sight, Unity of Knowledge and Action, Postnatal Five Qi, Qi Control. Then there was Potential Form, an ability he had developed but never used, and Flesh into Saint, which he was on the verge of mastering. With so many abilities, he was confident he could protect himself and even counterattack against conventional firearms, as long as no heavy weaponry was involved. Even going abroad, he felt he had a solid footing; after all, Italy was a sovereign nation—they wouldn’t deploy tanks in a bustling city.

”But since you, Chief, have mentioned it, I will consider it.”

”Give me seven days, and I will give you a definite response,” Zhang Beixing said.

These seven days weren’t just for the chief and his team to prepare. It was also a target Zhang Beixing set for himself. If he could preliminarily master Flesh into Saint within these seven days, then, just as he had said, his whole class would go on an overseas trip. At that point, with his classmates protected by the chief’s team, he would act alone to investigate and rescue those three Martial Artists. Otherwise, if Zhang Beixing didn’t manage to reach a preliminary mastery of Flesh into Saint within these seven days, he would not involve himself in this matter. He would leave it to the chief and his team to handle as they saw fit.

Hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, Chief Bai understood he had considered it seriously and nodded. ”Okay.” With that, he ended the call.

He picked up the dossier again and pondered how to handle this matter. But after thinking for a short while, his brow suddenly furrowed. He slammed the dossier on the desk in confusion.

”No, wait!” he exclaimed. ”Why am I involving Zhang Beixing in this? Damn it, didn’t I call him just to update him on the case’s progress? How did we end up talking about him getting involved? Shit, this kid led me astray! No, I have to talk to him again!”

As realization slowly dawned, Chief Bai picked up the phone to call Zhang Beixing. But before he could do so, Li Shuo, who had heard the entire conversation between Zhang Beixing and the chief, held him back and shook his head. ”Boss Bai, it’s not necessary!”

”How so? Should we continue making the same mistake?” Chief Bai raised an eyebrow.

”Do you really think that with Zhang Beixing’s temperament and character, he would back down after knowing about this?” Li Shuo retorted.

At Li Shuo’s words, Chief Bai fell silent. He hadn’t had much contact with Zhang Beixing recently and had almost forgotten what kind of person Zhang Beixing was. It was only Li Shuo’s reminder that made him remember. Zhang Beixing had never been someone who could easily be reined in. Once he set his mind on something, not even ten oxen could pull him back.

Clearly, this matter was something Zhang Beixing had set his mind on. Even if Chief Bai explicitly told him not to proceed, given Zhang Beixing’s temperament, he probably wouldn’t listen. Instead of letting that guy mess things up and create a whole host of problems and a complete mess, it might be better to go along with his wishes. At least this way, everything would still be under their control.

”This damned kid, he’s really such a headache!”

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Chief Bai let out a helpless sigh. He was utterly drained.

Hearing this, Li Shuo didn’t respond. But it was clear from his expression that he felt the same way.

Meanwhile, while Chief Bai and Li Shuo were discussing Zhang Beixing, he himself, after ending the call with the chief, phoned Jin Linyu. He told Jin Linyu he needed some time to think and would let him know within seven days where their class trip would be. After Jin Linyu acknowledged with understanding, Zhang Beixing hung up that call too. Without further delay, he plunged into intensive training.

If possible, he truly wanted to go overseas. Not just to rescue those three Martial Artists, but more importantly, for revenge! Zhang Beixing was a person who held grudges. He hadn’t forgotten that members of that criminal group had sent him a threatening letter just over a month ago! At the time, he knew too little about them to do anything. But now that their tracks had been found in Italy... If he didn’t hunt them down, respond fittingly, and make a real splash, it would be an utter waste of this heaven-sent opportunity!

”Just you wait!” he muttered under his breath. ”Wait until your dad has mastered Flesh into Saint, I’ll definitely ruin you bunch of bastards!”

Zhang Beixing decided not to practice anything else for these seven days and devoted himself entirely to training in the Postnatal Five Qi Cleansing Method.
