Gao Liang, who has a deep understanding of Shaolin martial arts, specializes in transforming tangible forms into intangible ones, emphasizing the perfect integration of mind, breath, essence, spirit, and strength. Though his martial skills have been officially recognized as restricted, Gao Liang has mastered Shaolin techniques with profound expertise, enabling him to convert the energy transmitted through his two bodyguards, the stalwart bodyguards. Indeed, when two powerful streams of energy, like blazing flames, surged toward him, Gao Liang remained calm and composed, effortlessly dodging them. "Movement of the body is less effective than movement of the mind; movement of the mind is less effective than movement of the spirit!" He silently recited the Shaolin martial arts mantra. To everyone's astonishment, a miracle unfolded—the two streams of energy flames passed right by him, almost brushing his body. How could this be? "It's impossible! It's impossible!" the glasses-wearing elder exclaimed, visibly stunned. For not only were these energy flames immensely powerful, but they also precisely targeted their intended victims, striking with flawless accuracy. What exactly was going on? Originally, Gaoliang avoided the tangible and focused on the intangible, converting energy borrowed from elsewhere to create a phantom presence right beside himself. Under the rhythm of his heart and spirit incantations, this energy phantom had evolved into a perfect duplicate of himself. Yet, the glasses-wearing elder had grown distracted, mistaking Gaoliang’s phantom for the real Gaoliang. When two beams of energy fire struck toward him, the phantom instantly vanished as Gaoliang promptly contracted his energy. "Whoa!" The two beams of energy naturally skimmed past Gaoliang’s side. At the same time, while the glasses-wearing elder was in astonishment, Gaoliang launched a decisive attack. "Golden Armor! Silver Armor! Listen to me—channel all your energy directly into me!" Upon hearing Gaoliang’s command, the Golden and Silver Armors immediately gathered their energy and began to transmit it continuously into Gaoliang’s body. Huanglight turned crimson with excitement, and Dai Mengna and Zhang Yuping were stunned to see this accomplished man unleash a sound so powerful it shook the earth and mountains—like an earthquake, like a tsunami. The sound surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing down upon the glasses-wearing elder in a relentless, storm-like fury. The elder immediately gave a piercing cry of agony, like a leaf being violently blown far away and then vanishing into the wind. The crowd heard a sharp crack, followed by a series of more desperate cries, and then, silence. Mike and Julie bravely approached, walking far—until they reached 500 meters away—where they found the glasses-wearing elder knocked against a utility pole, barely gasping for breath. When Huanglight’s two bodyguards carried the nearly lifeless elder to Huanglight himself, Huanglight stepped over him with regal composure, and declared firmly, “He who stands in my way shall die! I have become a god!” Several strong men, seeing their leader on the verge of death, were instantly terrified, clutching Gao Liang's feet and bowing their heads in frantic, rhythmic motions, exclaiming, "Grandfather! Grandfather! Please spare us! Spare us! If only we had known how formidable you were, our leader wouldn't have met such a tragic fate!" Just then, upon hearing Gao Liang state that no one was allowed to attack his woman, Zhang Yупing's face turned red. Though in her heart, Gao Liang had always been her husband, the dynamics of their relationship had subtly shifted in this new environment in the U.S. As for Dai Mengna, she stepped forward with great grace, right in front of everyone—including Mike, Julie, Gao Liang's two top bodyguards, Zhang Yупing, and even the hesitant Yang Chao—gently kissing Gao Liang on the right cheek and saying, "Husband! Thank you so much for stepping in at the last minute; otherwise, we would have been in serious trouble!" Zhang Yупing, seeing the American beauty, a true star in the eyes of the U.S. public, known as the goddess of the moon, now showing such closeness to Gao Liang compared to herself, felt a little jealous. I never thought that my husband, as Yang Chao had said, was so fickle. Since coming to the U.S., he had formed an unbreakable, lightning-fast connection with this stunning foreign beauty—this golden-haired, blue-eyed woman who was not only more accomplished than myself, but also far more impressive. Now, Zhang Yuping, who had always been so domestically focused, was clearly upset. Hmph! Well then, Guo Liang, you truly are as fickle as you've claimed. Excellent! I'll test you—see just how much you truly care about me. So, Zhang Yuping turned to Yang Chao, who was still hesitating, and said, "Come along! Follow me to the Metropolitan Opera House!" Seeing his top female supervisor inviting him to a theater performance, Yang Chao felt absolutely thrilled. He immediately hurried after the elegant woman. Meanwhile, Guo Liang's two bodyguards expressed their regret to him: "Boss! Why didn't the lady invite you to go with her?" Guo Liang watched as Zhang Yuping and Yang Chao walked side by side, and smiled gently. "I'm certain," he said, "there's going to be a real show." " "Let's go!" The two strong bodyguards looked puzzled, fidgeting with their hands. At that moment, when Daina watched Zhang Yупing and Yang Chao depart, she turned to Gao Liang and said, "Husband! I'd like to go see a performance at the theater too!" Her sweet, affectionate voice, full of youthful charm, won the bodyguards' admiration as they raised their fingers in praise, marveling at how lucky the elder was. Julie was also eager to follow, clinging to Mike and insisting on going to the theater. The two couples immediately agreed and set off together—right away! The two strong bodyguards led the way, while Daina took Gao Liang's hand, acting like a little girl excitedly drawing her grown-up companions to buy candy. Julie held Mike's hand as well, and soon the couple reached the renowned Metropolitan Opera House in San Francisco. This grand metropolitan dance theater, with a history spanning over a century, performs the American free duet dance. Dianming, who graduated from Harvard University's Performance Arts Department, is deeply accomplished in dance and music. As the renowned models take the stage for their runway presentations, Dianming's bright eyes sparkle—clearly, her performance spirit is ignited. At this moment, it's also quite fortunate that, due to the free duet dance's hallmark feature of engaging directly with the live audience, the host further encourages audience participation by saying to the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen! To help everyone get energized and truly interact, we invite our dancing gentlemen and ladies to step onto the stage!" "Wow!" the audience erupts in enthusiastic applause. With the vibrant, dynamic music energizing the crowd, audience members become increasingly excited and eagerly step forward. Suddenly, over 100 people join—hundreds dancing! What a lively show! This performance truly has something special. Gao Liang and Dai Mengna, as well as Mike and Julie, all stepped onto the stage one by one. Gao Liang’s two bodyguards remained off-stage, observing everything closely and ensuring the absolute safety of their leader. Unexpectedly, when Zhang Yупing saw Gao Liang carrying Dai Mengna’s jade hand stepping onto the stage, she felt a sharp pang of sourness—just like eating bitter jujubes—immediately turning to Yang Chao and saying, “Let’s go up together!” Yang Chao was overjoyed and eagerly agreed. The host asked staff members to hand each of them a black cloth, indicating that they should wrap it around their heads to cover their eyes. Everyone had no idea what game they were playing. At that moment, a soft click, and all the lights in the hall went out. The host announced, “The game has begun!” Dai Mengna had been holding Gao Liang’s hand, thinking that Gao Liang must be the man beside her, so she clung tightly to him. As for Zhang Yупing, however, she was completely bewildered—she had no idea this was a party game where guests were free to choose their dance partners. Yang Chao is a diligent little fly who always seeks opportunities—any crack, no matter how small, in the eggshell, and he’ll squeeze through. This time, before the game began, Yang Chao deliberately dropped a sticky tape strip on the ground while Zhang Yупing wasn’t paying attention. With so many people present, Zhang simply didn’t notice it. She stepped right on the tape, which was three meters long. Yang Chao believed that, when the lights were turned off, as long as he held onto the sticky tape and followed the trail, he could trace back to Zhang Yупing. Then, with his beloved supervisor, he’d have the chance to dance—what a delight!
