CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 255: CITY ASSOCIATION, COUNCILMAN CHEN!

[Extreme Fighting Fist: Sunset (34%)]

[Strength: 60.9→61.2]

[Agility: 47.1→47.6]

[Constitution: 63.8→63.9]

[Will: 66.2→66.4]

In the early morning, Chen Feng woke up exhausted, his head throbbing.

The relentless Black Tide proved difficult to resist; he was pursued constantly, exhausting all his strength and spirit, and once again he had to forcibly exit the Dream World.

However...

Looking at the panel in front of him, he felt it was all worth it.

Extreme Fighting Fist was steadily improving, and the four-dimensional attributes were also continuously rising.

He felt that he was a step closer to the limit.

Even without using any talents, just relying on martial arts prowess, he had already touched the threshold of the strong Fifth Rank.

"Tonight, perhaps I should visit the Snake Spirit Secret Realm."

Chen Feng thought, his mind was overexerted now, and if he entered the Dream Realm of Qinggang City again, his power would diminish significantly.

As for the Realm of the Dead, feedback from Jia Ta hadn’t been received yet.

Therefore, perhaps it’s best to go to the Holy City of the Snake Spirit Secret Realm and seek the Life Seed Awakening Method of the Fifth Rank.

With that thought decided, he turned over and slept some more in the latter half of the night.

No dream, until the alarm rang.

With spirits slightly recovered, he tidied up and washed up, seeing himself in the mirror.

Standing at 1.82 meters tall, wearing a black long-sleeved crew-neck sweatshirt.

With short cropped hair and slanting eyebrows, he looked not much different from usual, just a bit paler, and his eyes somewhat dimmed.

"Looks sickly..."

Chen Feng shook his head, then tidied up and left the Quiet Room.

Having breakfast as usual, Cao Tong spoke a few words beside him.

"The car and driver are ready, we’ll leave at half-past eight."

He said seriously, and Chen Feng nodded.

Today he needed to participate as a new council member in the City Association’s meeting building, attending the Nanjiang City Union’s first meeting of the year.

This was something Chu Shihong had previously come to remind him about.

"How’s the investigation on the situation in Luo River, is it confirmed to be the Evil God Church?"

"Not confirmed yet, still under investigation."

Cao Tong considered, and Chen Feng nodded, then watched him as he went to prepare.

Alone in the Quiet Room, he walked on the wooden floor to the window, seemingly gazing at the increasingly prosperous Nanjiang District.

But.

The view before him had already been subtly replaced, with the azure sky at his back, white clouds brushing past.

A palm-sized white-gray small statue had already reached Luo River, moving stealthily between the tall buildings everywhere.

The exploded factory appeared before him, a chemical plant constructed with steel sheds.

Most of the cement-brick walls had collapsed, the iron gates and steel sheds were blackened, traces of burning and explosive gaps were visible everywhere.

The plant was enclosed with yellow caution tape, and security officers were nearby maintaining order and helping with rescue efforts.

Red fire trucks and blue-white security vehicles were parked nearby, special operations personnel in black combat uniforms with guns appeared.

Temporary tents were neatly arranged on the more distant open space, many injured were wrapped in bandages, their flesh blurred, half-conscious.

"Team two, team two, any hidden fires left?"

"Not for now, but still checking."

A voice came from a walkie-talkie, from Luo River City’s fire personnel dressed in blue-black workwear, carrying firefighting gear and a cool ice ball, standing at the factory’s back door.

White-gray traces brushed past him, he sensed something, turning to look.

"What’s wrong?"

Someone asked from inside the walkie-talkie.

"Nothing, maybe I was seeing things."

The man shook his head, seeing nothing unusual in his view.

His voice echoed in his ears, and the white-gray small statue quickly used shadows and blind spots to enter the explosion site.

The huge metal tank storing chemicals was riddled with holes and severely damaged.

Among the charred marks, Chen Feng saw a distinct emblem left on the ground.

A blood-stained circle, with a snake pattern in the center.

Experts and security officers nearby were discussing and communicating; the so-called Evil God Church information also originated from here.

After studying it for a moment, Chen Feng communicated with the small statue, instructing it to keep its distance, continue searching for clues, then chose to exit the shared view, looking outside the Martial Arts Hall.

A black sedan had already stopped, Cao Tong and others were waiting for him.

"Snake Spirit Church, huh..."

His eyes flashed, then Chen Feng stepped out of the Quiet Room, leaving the Martial Arts Hall.

The sound of black boots on the tile floor was clear and crisp, and soon he boarded the black car, heading straight for the Federation Headquarters.

.....

Tall buildings stood in the city center, with floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting sunlight, appearing like a blue-green ocean.

Flying devices occasionally landed, or a motorcade appeared, bodyguards with white gloves opened the car doors.

Mechanical Martial, Transformed People, gun-carrying gene-enhanced individuals...

Security personnel gathered nearby, three to five steps apart, each escorting council members of Nanjiang City into the building.

"Councilman Zhang, pretty early, aren’t you?"

"Haha, aren’t you too, Mr. He?"

"Well, I just wanted to see the up-and-coming talents, we’ve added five new council members this time, most of them aren’t over thirty years old..... it makes me feel old, really old."

Amidst the conversation, some council members paused at the building’s entrance.

Similar conversations continued, Tianhao Security’s flying device descended from the air, its gusts touching the ground, gradually approaching.

Squeak...click!

The black-gray metal cabin door opened, and a young man with shaggy long hair, wearing a gray casual coat and suit stepped out.

The tall Yuan Yueshan and Zhou Cheng guarded the sides, and Lin Hao looked at the building with some emotion.

"Not easy...."

Finally becoming a city council member, this journey indeed took quite a bit of effort.

Beside him, Zhou Cheng felt moved, growing increasingly impressed with the young boss.
