Chapter 2179 — The Newest Test Subject

"Answer your phone first. We can talk about dinner in a bit." An Jianwen waved a hand, motioning for Li Biaohan to take the call.

"It's Gao Lutong, the vice president of the boxing club." With that, Li Biaohan picked up. "Hello? What is it?"

"Brother Biaohan, someone's crashing our club..." Gao Lutong said, lowering his voice. He was thoroughly depressed—the distinguished vice president of the boxing club, of all people, had been threatened. If word of this got out, he'd be a laughingstock.

"Someone's crashing the club? Who?" Li Biaohan was briefly stunned. "Someone actually came to the boxing club to make trouble? You don't need to report this to me—just have someone teach them a lesson..."

"But..." Gao Lutong looked at his broken arm. Teach them a lesson?

"What? Does the troublemaker have some kind of backing?" Li Biaohan asked.

"That's not it... He crushed my arm, and he somehow took down the boxing club's Four Great Guardians too..." Gao Lutong said with a bitter smile.

"What?" Li Biaohan froze at Gao Lutong's words. "Who's this ruthless? From another club?"

"No, Brother Biaohan. Do you remember that freshman who went to the school leadership to rat us out?" Gao Lutong said.

"I remember. Didn't you take some guys and put him in the hospital? What, he found someone?" Li Biaohan frowned. He had gone out of his way to look into that fellow named Zhao Shengji before—the kid had no background at all. So how had he found someone this formidable?

"Yeah, the guy's seriously uncanny..." Gao Lutong said. "Brother Biaohan, he said he's not only going to deal with me, but he also wants me to pay him a million in compensation..."

"A million? He's got some nerve, all right. I, Li Biaohan, get shaken down every day, and now someone's shaking me down to my face?" Li Biaohan was furious the moment he heard it, but he quickly calmed down. "Xiao Gao, who did Zhao Shengji bring?"

"I don't know. He looked like a student too, but his face was unfamiliar—probably a freshman, not from any of the other martial arts clubs at our school." Gao Lutong did have some eye for this sort of thing. He knew everyone at school who could fight and was not to be provoked—hard cases like Zhuang Niaodao and You Panhu, he had all memorized. But this man really was a stranger. "Still, I secretly took a photo. I'll send it to you..."

"All right, you wait there. I'm coming over right now!" Li Biaohan had originally meant to treat An Jianwen to dinner and build up their relationship, but he hadn't expected trouble in his own club—he had to go back and handle it himself. He hung up and said apologetically, "Brother Wen, there's a bit of a problem at my boxing club..."

"Oh? What's going on?" An Jianwen asked.

"It's like this..." Li Biaohan then told An Jianwen about the earlier business at school—the forced buying and selling, including the lesson taught to Zhao Shengji and Zhao Shengji showing up with someone to settle accounts...

"Your vice president, Gao Lutong—from what I know, he may not be a Yellow-tier expert, but his external martial arts are infinitely close to Yellow-tier, aren't they?" An Jianwen asked.

"That's right..." Li Biaohan nodded. "He's someone I trust... I've been grooming him all along. This time I wasn't there—I don't know what kind of opponent he ran into, but the man's this strong..."

"So can you handle it yourself?" An Jianwen asked.

"Let's see who the opponent is first..." Just as he spoke, Li Biaohan's phone chimed with a message notification. He hurriedly opened it and glanced at the photo—and his expression changed at once!

"What is it?" An Jianwen saw something was wrong with Li Biaohan's face and asked quickly.

"Brother Wen, this man is actually Wei Zhao..." Li Biaohan's mouth twitched twice. He had never imagined that the one crashing the club would be Wei Zhao!

"What? Wei Zhao?" An Jianwen took Li Biaohan's phone and looked—wasn't the troublemaker Wei Zhao? An Jianwen's expression also turned ugly. This was a man even he, An Jianwen, wouldn't claim to be able to handle, let alone Li Biaohan!

"Looks like I've really kicked an iron plate this time..." Li Biaohan said with a bitter smile. "Brother Wen, that Wei Zhao demanded a million right off the bat, and I..."

"Wei Zhao means what he says. If you don't give it to him, I'm afraid the consequences will be very serious!" An Jianwen said with a bitter smile of his own. "You really do need to handle this properly, or else the trouble will be enormous..."

"Jianwen, didn't Big Mule just say that Dr. Yin's latest 01 test subject has come out? It can even tangle with Heaven-tier for a while. In that case, why don't we send a test subject? That Wei Zhao is nothing but a mid-Earth-tier expert, and our test subjects have tremendous resistance to blows..." An Mingyue suddenly spoke up.

"Right! How did I forget that!" An Jianwen slapped his thigh. "Biaohan, rest easy—I'll settle this for you! My latest 01 test subject is ready. The new test subject is even tougher than before—at the very least, it can withstand two consecutive blows from an early Heaven-tier expert. Against anyone below early Earth-tier, it can kill with ease; against early-to-mid Earth-tier experts, it can just barely kill them; against mid-to-late Earth-tier experts, it can take them down with it; against anyone at peak late Earth-tier or above, for now it can't kill them, but it can tangle with them for a while..."

"My God, that impressive?" Li Biaohan was overjoyed. Wei Zhao was only a mid-Earth-tier expert—even if this 01 test subject couldn't quite kill him, it could at least fight him to a draw. As long as it could intimidate Wei Zhao, that was enough!

Truth be told, Li Biaohan didn't want to back down in front of Wei Zhao. An Jianwen had warned him before that Wei Zhao was formidable, but now that he had an even more formidable 01 test subject, why would Li Biaohan ever admit defeat?

"Yes, in theory the test subject is indeed impressive, but if it really can't beat Wei Zhao, don't force it—just pay him off." An Jianwen was calm. "Once the formula is further perfected, there'll be plenty of chances to deal with him. No need to rush it!"

"Good, thank you, Brother Wen!" Li Biaohan had thought he wouldn't escape the fate of paying damages this time, but he never expected the path to turn at the last bend—a sudden ray of light in the dark. An Jianwen had produced an expert on the spot to help him!

"No thanks needed—we're all family here!" An Jianwen waved it off and called out, "Big Mule, go prepare a fresh 01 test subject. Hypnotize it and make it obey Li Biaohan!"

"Yes, sir!" Big Mule came over and answered.

"Brother Wen, dinner today is off the table—it'll have to wait for another day," Li Biaohan said.
