"Ah!" Qiao shouted in pain, as six of the ten electric slashes were intercepted by the brilliant, solid金刚 punches, while the remaining four were unexpectedly controlled and shot back toward his body. This time, Qiao wasn't as lucky—his hair was scorched, but so was his clothing; the off-white robe had turned to a charcoal gray. "Highlight, I never thought you'd be this strong!" said Qiao, as everyone worried about his injuries. While everyone was concerned for his burns, Qiao tore off the robe to reveal a shining armor beneath. It seemed clear that without this armor, he would have been completely finished. Nevertheless, due to the strength of his own electric slashes, despite the special armor, several parts of his body still bore varying degrees of burns and scalds. "Where is Ye Qian?" Highlight didn't want to stay any longer, especially since he had come to the meeting today without attending class. "Highlight! Come with me to our headquarters for a chat—how about that?" Qiao extended a sincere invitation. Highlight had no choice but to agree. Following Qiao Ye and the Four Pillars directly to the elevator on the 18th floor, a lively voice announced, "Master! We've arrived!"—it was Ying'er's voice. Gao Liang was struck by the magnificent, golden splendor of the scene: crystal chandeliers gleamed brilliantly across the ceiling, while thick marble pillars stood on either side. One pillar featured a dragon coiled with dynamic energy, the other a phoenix soaring in flight. Above them, a horizontal plaque in golden characters read, "Long Flying, Phoenix Dashing"—the four characters were so vivid and luminous that they seemed truly forged in gold, their brilliance so intense that Gao Liang found himself dazzled. If those four characters were removed, the old family would become a millionaire. As Gao Liang was lost in these thoughts, Ying'er spread her angelic wings and landed gently upon the dragon's eyes and the phoenix's eyes, then called out to him, "This is indeed a treasure of Zhen Tang! These are all spiritual eyes! If my assessment is correct, this spiritual eye has a history of no less than 3,000 years—almost as long as my cosmic lifespan. This is a truly "High Light was listening to a lecture in Chinese—wasn't the spirit stone just a peculiar stone? How magical could it be? But suddenly, a line of text appeared in front of his eyes: 'Master! Don't underestimate these two stones—they are spirit stones that embody the essence of heaven and earth, infused with spiritual energy. Believe it! Just blow a breath toward them!' Taking advantage of the moment when Qiao Grandpa and the Four Giants weren't paying attention, High Light gently exhaled. Immediately, the dragon eye and phoenix eye blinked. Truly spirit eyes—truly precious treasures! High Light was amazed. The Long and Phoenix Hall clearly embodies the essence of heaven and earth, gathers the light of the sun and moon, and is both divine and extraordinary. Today, he truly had a broadened perspective. Approaching the front counter, the large gilded characters shimmered with vibrant hues, and the words 'Long and Phoenix Hall Industrial Co., Ltd.' along with the background dragon and phoenix motifs were deeply etched into his memory. At the front desk, a beautiful and graceful young lady wore a simple white business suit, her bust well-defined, her abdomen flat, her hips elegantly curved, and her figure perfectly poised. Highlighted and the young lady spoke at the same time: "Yue Qian!" "Liang Ge!" It turned out that Yue Qian had been hired by Mr. Qiao to serve as the front desk receptionist at the headquarters. "How do you like it?" Mr. Qiao smiled at Liang. "I won't let you down if I've got a woman you like!" Yue Qian blushed deeply—being only 17, just entering the tender, rainy season of her life, the idea that Mr. Qiao had described her as the woman Liang admired made her feel especially flustered. "Is there anything else?" Liang still didn't want to stay long. "Liang, I'd like to understand exactly why you've been so busy," Mr. Qiao said, lighting a cigar and drawing on it with a satisfying puff. Liang, who had a strong habit of smoking, found his appetite for cigarettes greatly stimulated by the drifting smoke rings of Mr. Qiao's cigar, instantly feeling dry-mouthed. Mr. Qiao gave Yue Qian a glance, then called out, "Yue Qian! Quick, serve him a cigarette!" Ye Jian politely handed the cigar to Gao Huang. Holding it between her index and middle fingers, she lit it with her lighter. As she lit the cigar, Gao Huang noticed how well-dressed Ye Jian was in her professional business attire, which accentuated her youthful, vibrant, and striking figure. At that moment, Gao Huang felt sure that Ye Jian didn’t belong as just a regular network administrator at a computer café. Unconsciously, Gao Huang’s gaze fell upon Ye Jian’s towering, statuesque presence—her full development truly held an irresistible appeal for the 18-year-old, spirited young man. Ye Jian, caught in his steady gaze, blushed deeply. Gao Huang’s rather ordinary, "pig brother" image greatly annoyed someone standing beside him. Hmph! The host had been admiring the increasingly beautiful women—yet completely ignored me! "I learned it from a master!" Gao Huang didn’t want to mention his dual training in Zen and martial arts at the Shaolin Temple, nor did he wish to bring up his impressive Yue Guang Treasure Box. "Hmph! Who are you trying to fool? A true Diamond Fist wouldn’t be this impressive!" The Golden Cocoon technique at Shaolin Temple isn't that impressive either!" Qiao's words seemed to reveal the truth at once. With his sharp gaze, Qiao cut through to Gao Liang, who remained calm through the power of Buddhist meditation. "I'm certain! You must be a truly extraordinary person with superhuman abilities!" Qiao declared. Ye Qian stared at Gao Liang with sparkling eyes, her face filled with wonder. Indeed! That day at the internet cafe, when the Four Pillars launched their attack, Gao Liang managed to hold his own against all four—remarkable! Gao Liang wasn't always this strong. I remember last year, when a rough guy came with a knife to cause a disturbance. To protect the smooth operation of the internet cafe, Gao Liang openly fought him. But in the end, the guy wasn't subdued, and Gao Liang himself sustained serious injuries. Fortunately, I managed to call the police in time, who eventually subdued the man. Gao Liang laughed heartily, saying, "Qiao, your Electric Blade technique is impressive! It's a mutual admiration!" Both acknowledged their own abilities as supernatural beings, bringing them much closer and eliminating most of their initial hostilities. With Qiao standing and patting Gao Huang's shoulder, Ye Qian poured a generous glass of French Bordeaux wine for both of them. After each had taken a hearty sip and enjoyed the mountain delicacies served by Ye, the two seemed to have become close friends—transforming from adversaries to companions, with only a thin line separating them. Gao Huang was both amazed and astonished by Qiao's electrical ability, as not only did Qiao withstand electric shocks, but he could even generate electricity. The power outlet beside the table supplied 220V alternating current, yet Qiao held the live wire and neutral wire in both hands simultaneously. Gao Huang watched in awe as Qiao's face turned red and he maintained this position for no less than 30 seconds before finally releasing his grip—something truly incredible. For an ordinary person, such a feat would have resulted in immediate electrocution.
