5: Section 5

These guys from the City Defense Force might lack experience fighting Phage Beasts, but when it comes to dealing with their own people, they have a whole repertoire of methods.

A squad of four City Defense Force soldiers arrived on the scene, blocking Jing Yuan's path.

The leading captain shouted loudly, "Halt! If you run any further, I'll fire!"

Jing Yuan looked at the squad ahead; the weapons in their hands were certainly not toys.

However, a faint smile played on Jing Yuan's face at this moment.

After escaping the ventilation ducts and running on the Lighthouse's outer ring for about half an hour, the 10-kilometer mission was finally complete.

At this moment, subtitles appeared before Jing Yuan's eyes.

[Push-ups (100/100)]

[Sit-ups (100/100)]

[Squats (100/100)]

[Running (10km/10km)]

[Duration (1080 days/1080 days)]

[Goal achieved, unlocking talent!]

[Talent unlocked successfully!]

[Obtained Telekinesis talent!]

[Commencing physical reconstruction!]

[1%]

[2%]

Jing Yuan watched the subtitles appearing before him and was shocked by the end.

He had originally thought that unlocking a talent would be an instantaneous affair.

And... what on earth was the Telekinesis talent? Shouldn't it be a talent that lets him knock everyone out with a single punch?

At this moment, Jing Yuan fell into a state of regret. He had transmigrated into the world of "pest control," not the world of "One-Punch Man." How could he have taken it for granted that completing three years of basic training would turn him into One-Punch Man?

Jing Yuan tugged at his thick hair, wondering, "Is it because I'm not bald?"

Seeing Jing Yuan's hands move, the City Defense Force immediately shouted, "Hands up!"

Jing Yuan complied and raised his hands!

He stared at the City Defense Force in front of him while also watching the subtitles.

[5%]

[6%]

Jing Yuan clearly felt a surge of power flowing into his body.

His originally exhausted body from constant running and training recovered instantly.

The superficial wounds from being whipped several times by the Law Enforcers earlier were also gradually healing.

Jing Yuan raised his hands and said, "I surrender! Don't shoot!"

The City Defense Force pointed their guns at Jing Yuan while several Law Enforcers came forward to take him into custody.

The leading Law Enforcer, who had been chasing him for a long time, couldn't contain his anger and lashed a whip across Jing Yuan's face.

Snap!

A red mark instantly appeared on Jing Yuan's cheek.

At this point, the reconstruction was 20% complete.

Jing Yuan stared at that Law Enforcer; if he wanted to, he could easily shake them off and give them a beating right now.

However, Jing Yuan wasn't sure if he could block bullets yet.

At the final moment, Jing Yuan could only endure.

"I want to see the City Lord!" Jing Yuan suddenly said.

The Law Enforcer captain said disdainfully, "You want to see the City Lord? In your dreams! Take him back!"

"Where are you taking me?"

Jing Yuan asked again, and the Law Enforcer captain shot him an impatient look before lashing his face with the whip once more.

Unfortunately, this time, when the whip struck Jing Yuan's face, it didn't even leave a red mark.

Jing Yuan didn't want to endure any longer.

The reconstruction was only 50% complete.

Jing Yuan broke free from the two Law Enforcers beside him, stepped forward, and put the leading Law Enforcer in a chokehold.

"Don't move! If any of you dare to move, I'll snap his neck."

No one expected that Jing Yuan, who was being escorted by two Law Enforcers, would break free so easily.

Jing Yuan's hands were like pincers, firmly gripping the Law Enforcer captain's head.

The Law Enforcer had no doubt that with just a little force from Jing Yuan, his neck would be broken.

"Kid, what are you trying to do? This is the Lighthouse; where could you possibly run?"

Jing Yuan didn't speak or answer.

With a hostage in hand, the people opposite him didn't dare to act rashly.

What Jing Yuan needed to do now was stall for time.

[70%...80%...90%]

Jing Yuan could clearly feel his strength growing; with just a slight effort, he could snap the man's neck.

His senses were also becoming increasingly sharp.

He felt that even without looking directly at the City Defense Force in front of him, he could still perceive what they were doing.

Jing Yuan swept his gaze around, instantly perceiving 4 City Defense Force soldiers, 4 rifles, 11 Law Enforcers, and 11 iron whips in his vicinity.

In the distance, more people were approaching.

[100%]

Finally, the reconstruction provided by the system was complete.

Chapter 5: Meeting the City Lord

Even without looking at the subtitles, Jing Yuan could feel the surging power within his body.

The Law Enforcer captain held by the neck by Jing Yuan felt like a chick, as if he could be easily crushed.

Jing Yuan knew he was strong now, but he didn't know exactly how strong.

Right now was a perfect time for a test.

Jing Yuan observed the positions of the City Defense Force soldiers and quickly devised a plan.

He grabbed the Law Enforcer captain with his left hand and used the Law Enforcer's body as a meat shield while charging toward the City Defense Force.

Seeing Jing Yuan using the Law Enforcer as a shield, the soldier didn't dare to fire for a moment.

In an instant, Jing Yuan was right in front of him.

Jing Yuan snatched the soldier's rifle and fired at another soldier while holding the gun with one hand.

The other three soldiers immediately fired at Jing Yuan, but with the Law Enforcer as a shield, the bullets all hit the Law Enforcer instead.

Jing Yuan kicked the soldier in front of him, sending his body flying and crashing into the other two soldiers.

The armed soldiers were all dealt with in an instant.

Only then did the group of Law Enforcers react, drawing their long whips and swarming toward Jing Yuan.

Facing the siege of eleven people, Jing Yuan was not afraid at all because he could fully perceive the movements of all eleven.

With one punch, Jing Yuan sent the foremost Law Enforcer flying, knocking down four or five others behind him until they were all piled together.

The Law Enforcer lay on the ground, his life or death unknown.

Jing Yuan looked at his fist; he had used his full strength in that punch, yet it only had this much effect?

The power of Jing Yuan's full-strength punch was indeed great, but not as great as he had imagined.

If it was only at this level, it wouldn't be enough to control the Lighthouse.

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet flew toward Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan's senses caught the trajectory of the bullet; he simply shifted his body slightly, and the bullet grazed past him, hitting a Law Enforcer in front.

Jing Yuan looked back; it was actually a gravity body!

For the City Defense Force to deploy a gravity body just to catch someone—wasn't that a bit overkill?
