17: Ten thousand times stronger, Thunder will

"Strengthen my Physical Body!"

This was the fastest way to increase his strength.

Ye Kong's Physical Body would become even stronger.

"Enhance ten thousand times!"

Bang!

In an instant.

Thunder intertwined around Ye Kong's body, as if about to explode.

A warm sensation came from his internal organs, seemingly wanting to suppress this entire world.

At this moment, Ye Kong was like a giant furnace.

He could even hear the sounds of tigers and leopards, and his bones let out crisp cracking noises.

Ye Kong sat cross-legged, his eyes tightly shut, with thunder coiling around him.

A full minute passed, and the bloody light still showed no sign of disappearing; instead, it made his blood flow even more rapidly... At this moment.

A senior voice reached Ye Liting's ears.

"Young Miss, the Master wants to take you somewhere; it's time to go."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Ye Kong and I will eat lunch first, and then we'll go."

Ye Liting rarely spoke with such a tone.

"Alright, Young Miss, I'll wait for you here. If you're quick, there won't be much time left!"

The elder didn't get angry; instead, he spoke with a smile.

"Understood," Ye Liting replied somewhat helplessly... On the other side.

The power within Ye Kong's body gradually disappeared.

"Congratulations, Host, you have acquired the Thunder General Body!"

"General Body!"

Ye Kong's heart stirred.

His physical fitness had advanced another level!

He could feel an endless sensation within his body.

Ye Kong had the illusion that with one punch, he could blow up a small mountain.

Not only that, the blue lightning on his body had also turned purple.

It gave him endless power.

Within Ye Kong's heart, there was a feeling of fearlessness, of being dauntless.

"With my current strength, even facing a Martial Master, I can fight!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Kong's mouth.

His strength was truly too great.

The Martial Master of Jinan City, that was a supreme figure.

In just a few days.

Ye Kong was the top existence in Jinan.

This was the Dao-Grade talent, and also the most terrifying aspect of the System.

In this assessment, absolutely no one would be able to stop him from taking first place.

No one could stop him from standing at the Peak of this world.

This was an invincible feeling.

In Ye Kong's eyes, thunder seemed to burn.

Just then, Ye Liting's voice came from outside.

"Ye Kong, it's time to eat."

"Okay!"

As soon as he stepped out, Ye Kong saw three small dishes and a large pot already on the table, while Ye Liting held two bowls of rice, looking adorable.

Ye Kong glanced at Ye Liting, his eyes full of doting affection.

"What's wrong? Is my face covered by something?"

Ye Liting felt a little embarrassed under his gaze.

"Hmm, it looks quite pleasing to the eye."

Ye Kong smiled faintly.

"Stop teasing, let's go eat something!"

Ye Liting was a bit embarrassed by what he said and quickly changed the subject... On the other side.

As soon as Li Menghu emerged from the cave, he learned that his son had been killed.

At this moment, outside the Magic Forest, the guards were being interrogated by the Li Family.

The Li Family members also learned of Ye Kong's appearance from them.

Li Menghu quickly ordered his subordinates to investigate Ye Kong's background.

"Sir, it has been thoroughly investigated.

The one who killed him in the cave is a young man named Ye Kong; he's still in middle school, his parents have passed away, and he lives in the slums."

A middle-aged man looked at Li Menghu, a hint of respect on his face.

"What? A mere commoner dares to kill my son?"

Upon hearing that his son was killed by a commoner, Li Menghu clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.

He roared at the man in front of him: "Immediately, bring him back; I will tear him to pieces."

"Yes, Master."

Li Niu's face was full of respect.

He activated a secret technique and quickly departed.

Meanwhile, in a stone house in the slums.

Ye Kong didn't know that the Li Family had already discovered him.

At this moment, he was enjoying delicious food with Ye Liting.

"Your cooking is truly superb!"

Ye Kong smiled faintly; he rarely smiled at others.

"Really? Kong Ge, if you like it, I won't be modest."

At this point, Ye Liting seemed to think of something, and a sad expression appeared on her face.

"Silly girl!" Ye Kong chuckled and shook his head.

However, he didn't notice Ye Liting's abnormality.

More than ten minutes later.

Ye Liting checked her watch; it was almost time.

She really wanted to spend more time with Ye Kong, but she knew she had to leave.

"Kong Ge, I'm finished eating. My father will be here soon, and I have something to do, so I won't bother you."

As Ye Liting said this, her eyes were full of reluctance.

Only then did Ye Kong realize that Ye Liting seemed a bit off.

After speaking, he put down his chopsticks.

"Liting, what's going on? Why do I feel like you're very upset? If you need anything, you can tell Kong Ge."

"Kong Ge, it's nothing, just a bit tired lately. I'll take my leave now; my dad has something to handle."

Ye Liting bit her lower lip, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Silly child, tell me whatever it is; Kong Ge will get justice for you!"

Ye Kong understood in his heart.

Ye Liting must be hiding something.

But she couldn't say it, because she couldn't ask too much; perhaps it was her private matter.

"Okay, Kong Ge, I'm going back now."

Ye Liting finished speaking, then got up and left.

"I'll see you out."

Ye Kong said, then got up and escorted Ye Liting out of the room.

Ye Liting suddenly turned around and gave Ye Kong a big hug.

Ye Kong was completely stunned.

After all, although their relationship was good, they hadn't had any truly intimate contact yet.

"What's wrong? Liting!"

Ye Kong gently ruffled Ye Liting's hair.

"It's nothing, Kong Ge, it's nothing, I just wanted to hug you. I'm leaving now."

Ye Liting knew she had lost her composure and turned to leave.

Ye Kong looked at Ye Liting and knew that something must have happened to her.

"I must go to the Ye Family!"

Ye Kong's eyes flashed.

If anyone dared to harm Ye Liting, he would absolutely not let them off... Just then.

Ye Liting didn't dare to look back and continued forward.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself.

She walked several hundred meters, and Butler Lin was already waiting there.

He saw disappointment on Ye Liting's face.

"Young Miss, he is merely a commoner; how could he be worthy of you?

Besides, we'll be returning to the capital soon.

You know as well as I do that our Ye Family is a prominent Family in the capital; countless Young Masters from noble families want to curry favor with our Ye Family.

A mere Jinan City, even the City Lord's Mansion, cannot be compared with the Ye Family.
