Feeling this sensation within his body, Lu Yu spoke, "Alright, stop the current!"

There was a hint of somberness in Lu Yu's voice as he spoke.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, the physician standing nearby immediately responded and pressed the stop button.

Buzz!

At the moment the physician pressed the stop button, the violent current in the room suddenly calmed down with a hum, and the previously volatile aura disappeared, replaced by an incredibly quiet atmosphere.

When the current stopped, Lu Yu did not have the physician release the metal restraints on him.

At this moment, he merely moved his body slightly, and with a teeth-gritting sound, the metal restraints on him twisted and snapped as if they were as fragile as plastic.

"The strength and intensity of the body have been greatly enhanced."

After snapping the metal restraints all at once, Lu Yu squinted his eyes slightly and thought to himself, "But aside from that, there doesn't seem to be any significant changes!"

Originally, every significant enhancement Lu Yu experienced would bring about new abilities in his body.

For example, when he broke through to twenty percent and entered the second stage, he could learn moves he had seen and utilize them.

When he reached twenty-five percent, he could activate powerful dynamic nerves that slowed down rapid scenes in front of him to dodge more attacks.

Upon reaching thirty percent, his physical strength was greatly enhanced, enabling him to release white gas to boost his power instantly.

This was all a milestone-like progression.

However, now that Lu Yu had crossed into forty percent, only his physical strength and power had been significantly enhanced, with no other special abilities emerging, as if it were a very ordinary enhancement.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked at the device on his wrist and confirmed that his physique was indeed at forty percent.

Yet, below the forty percent, there were three small words indicating a "Threshold."

"Threshold!?"

Seeing these three small words, Lu Yu's body froze slightly, then he seemed to understand something: "It seems my body's intensity and strength have indeed reached forty percent, which was evident since I could easily snap the metal restraints just now."

"And the reason why I haven't gained new abilities now should be due to some deficiencies in certain aspects of my body, and the threshold in front of me is the best explanation!"

In an instant, Lu Yu understood everything; he pondered silently, "It seems such extreme methods can indeed greatly enhance the body, but breakthroughs still need to be achieved through actual combat for certain things!"

In a flash, Lu Yu found the reason.

"But never mind, with my current strength and physical enhancement, I should now have the power to fight Zhou Fengming. Two days later, I can just seek breakthroughs in the actual battle with him!"

At this moment, Lu Yu planned internally, displaying exceptional wisdom.

"Sir, are you alright?"

Seeing the sharp gleam in Lu Yu's eyes, Marcus asked with concern.

"Nothing's wrong."

Hearing Marcus's words, Lu Yu replied calmly, his tone indifferent: "Marcus, it's alright. You and the brothers rest well these two days, and join me in two days at Yixian Public Cemetery to kill Zhou Fengming!"

Amidst the words, a trace of coldness emerged in Lu Yu's tone.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Marcus responded, his tone exceptionally respectful.

...

Meanwhile, at Lin'an City International Airport, a private jet from the Capital slowly descended.

As the cabin door opened, two young men in white suits with sunglasses stepped down from the plane.

The two young men were impeccably dressed and carried an extraordinary demeanor, obviously scions of a noble family, standing out from the crowd.

"Lin'an City, truly deserving of an international metropolis. To me, it seems even more prosperous than the Capital."

Observing the prosperous scenery of Lin'an City, a fair-skinned young man with long hair remarked, his tone carrying the air of one commenting on a kingdom.

"Ziqing, your words... Lin'an City is merely economically developed; when it comes to noble families, the Capital still surpasses it."

Hearing the young man's words, another short-haired young man responded, his tone full of amusement.

"Qingyun, your words are even less meaningful. Though there are many noble families in the Capital, how many can rival our Jiang Family?"

In his words, the young man known as Ziqing smiled, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

These two were scions of noble families from the Capital, belonging to the Jiang Family, with the older long-haired one called Jiang Ziqing and the short-haired one called Jiang Qingyun.

"Hehe, Ziqing, your words are spot on."

Hearing Jiang Ziqing's words, Jiang Qingyun scratched his head then shifted the subject, saying, "Ziqing, did you hear? Just yesterday, Zhou Fengming from Jinling City called big brother. I vaguely recall he wanted big brother to help him deal with some online mess."

"Zhou Family of Jinling City..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ziqing smiled disdainfully, "Just a vulgar rich man. That Zhou Fengming, at his age, has lived his life like a dog, unable to even handle some petty online trouble, with evidence of greasing palms publicly exposed online—he deserves his downfall!"

Pausing in his words, Jiang Ziqing then continued, "And Qingyun, let's not mention such gloomy stuff. We came to Lin'an City to attend Su Nianxue's concert, not to meddle in Zhou Fengming's affairs."

His tone carried an air of arrogance, clearly not taking Zhou Fengming seriously.

"Ziqing, you're right. We came here for Su Nianxue. We missed her concert in the Capital last time, but this time we must see it. Su Nianxue, as the Asian Queen, we have to experience it for ourselves."

In his words, Jiang Qingyun's tone carried a hint of lecherousness, appearing rather disgusting, strikingly mismatched with his upright posture.

"Hmm, Qingyun, your suggestion is good."

Hearing this, Jiang Ziqing's tone held a playful hint: "To be honest, that little girl Su Nianxue is really remarkable. This time, we brothers should have a good time!"

In between the words, Jiang Ziqing's tone leaked a trace of sleaziness.
