Currently, it might not be very obvious, but his intelligence has clearly improved significantly.

Choosing the Growth-type Abnormality as the first batch of experimental subjects was indeed the right choice.

Only this kind of constantly growing abnormality can find the balance between the power of abnormality and the power of humans during its growth.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how far the [Pseudo Abnormality Root] born from the first batch of [Abnormalities] can go."

Niu Zuo isn't worried about his own eyes.

His eyes were transplanted.

Transplanted from a human with special eyesight.

Initially, they were just being kept as a special talent pool, but he didn't expect them to actually come in handy now.

Once his eyes stabilize, he can proceed with the next plan, taking [Yin Xu] for his own use. When that happens, he can arrange things in the capital.

As for the safety of Shu Zuo, since he's not one of his own, Niu Zuo naturally won't take him into consideration.

"By the way, how is the news we released regarding [Nightmare Dawn] being spread?"

"It's basically been instructed. It will spread throughout the city soon."

"Well, after the net is cast, don't rush to close it. He will jump in himself... This card we have is quite interesting. If we bring it to the capital, I'm afraid many big shots will be greatly surprised! Also, I'm very curious about what level a true [Abnormality Root] can reach, so let him play freely for a while, record more data, and then deal with the matter."

"Yes!"

...

Chu Nuan City, Da Yang Manor.

Under the cover of night, Fang Yue has already changed his face.

Nighttime has always been the busiest time in Chu Nuan City.

Just like Fang Yue, there are five 'companions' who are sneaking out of the inn.

Of course, these five people don't know each other, they're just appearing at night at the same time.

Maybe, someone might run into someone else at night, fight each other, and then return to the inn to recuperate during the day. That would be another interesting story.

Trying to avoid this group, Fang Yue acted alone, moving along the rooftops. Leaping across the eaves, Fang Yue found that Chu Nuan City was more lively tonight than usual.

Because there are more people, more bustling.

With the [Martial Duel] approaching, all sorts of people are pouring into Chu Nuan City, and the water naturally becomes muddy.

And people like Fang Yue, with a bit of a background, like this feeling of fishing in troubled waters the most.

Leisurely arriving at Da Yang Manor, he first observed whether there were any observers.

Then, Fang Yue discovered something extraordinary.

The small Da Yang Manor was surrounded by more than a dozen sentries, all monitoring Da Yang Manor.

"Another one."

"...Who hasn't sent someone yet? One comes at a time, it's so annoying?"

Someone discovered Fang Yue, who was swaggering across the rooftop, and immediately complained.

Clearly, these people aren't all professionals.

Several professional sentries glared at the ones who spoke, but that was all they could do.

Everyone is just watching and trying to make a living, what else can they do?

Looking at the situation, Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, then silently joined the surveillance work.

After observing for a long time, he finally found an opportunity to sneak into Da Yang Manor.

"Who?!"

He had just reached Yang Hongxia's room when he was keenly discovered.

"It's me."

Pushing open the door, Fang Yue entered the room and closed the door. Looking back, he saw the young lady nervously pointing a long sword at him.

"Who are you?"

It's late at night, and I still have to prove who I am? I am me, such a philosophical question??

Fang Yue rolled his eyes inwardly.

Unfortunately, Yang Hongxia has never seen his real appearance, otherwise he could just take off the human skin mask to directly prove his identity.

However, what Fang Yue didn't expect was that Yang Hongxia was actually able to stay safely in Da Yang Manor after he left.

So, there are reliable times for the Tian Shang Alliance?

Fang Yue felt a little suspicious, but he still patiently explained his identity.

After confirming that Fang Yue was Lord Night, the young lady Yang Hongxia's eyes turned red, and she almost pounced on him.

"What's wrong? I've only been gone for about two days. Did something happen in the manor?"

Yang Hongxia shook her head, then nodded.

"The seventh-ranked Lao Ying Merchant Troupe of the Tian Shang Alliance, its guest warrior, Tai Yuema, came after you left. He wanted me to tell him all the information about you in exchange for the protection of Da Yang Manor..."

Tai Yuema?!

Fang Yue's pupils shrank, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This is exactly what they mean by effortless gain.

He just got the news from Shu Zuo that Tai Yuema is the Rabbit Seat of the Phoenix Organization's Twelve Seats.

Putting aside his strength, this is Chu Nuan City, possibly the only person who knows where Niu Zuo is.

And Niu Zuo, the guy who took An Dong'er away, wearing a bull-headed mask... As long as he finds out where he is, he will definitely be able to find An Dong'er!

Fang Yue was excited, and quickly asked for details. He learned that Yang Hongxia didn't sell him out, but refused Tai Yuema's request, asking the Tian Shang Alliance to give him the necessary protection.

Tai Yuema wasn't so ruthless as to kill Yang Hongxia, or simply keep her to fish, wanting to hook him, the fish.

So now so much surveillance, it seems to make sense.

Looking at it this way, these people have been watching day and night, diligently, just to wait for him to appear.

But I really don't have that much charm. If possible, please go back.

After confirming that Yang Hongxia and Da Yang Manor were really fine, Fang Yue felt a little relieved.

Obviously, both the Tian Shang Alliance and the government want to use Da Yang Manor for something, rather than simply wanting to destroy it.

Being able to be used means there is still value, although the basis of the value is built on me.

"By the way, Lord Night, why did you come back so quickly? Has the Phoenix Organization's base been found? Can the case files on the government's side clear your name?"

Fang Yue shook his head slightly. After thinking about it, he didn't tell Yang Hongxia that Tai Yuema was the Rabbit Seat.

He could investigate this kind of thing himself. There was no need to involve Yang Hongxia.

After briefly understanding the situation and confirming that there were no other matters, Fang Yue prepared to leave.

The young lady immediately got up, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"...That... Lord Night, the [Martial Duel] is approaching, but you are still a wanted criminal..."

"It's okay, just help me register under a different name. I'll change my face in a few days and participate."

Fang Yue is just going to help, he doesn't necessarily have to use his original face.

As long as the [Martial Duel] is won, who cares who the worker is? Just give the reward to Da Yang Manor.

Fang Yue waved his hand and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and casually asked: "By the way, what was the mysterious reward for the winner of the [Martial Duel] that you mentioned before? I heard it has been announced, what is it?"

"I don't know. The information I found out only said it would be a slave... It's unknown what kind of alien slave it will be. However, the [Martial Duel] is in a few days, and more news should be released soon."
