Today, Li Yang finally managed to shake off those guys who were both his protectors and his inspectors, all for this girl walking towards the bar—a girl with incredibly long legs. Li Yang estimated that this girl, who was half a head shorter than him, had legs at least two inches longer than his.
Li Yang didn't scrutinize her appearance closely. He was also concerned that if the girl resembled someone else or was too beautiful, it might evoke his sympathy, making it difficult for him to act on her. He only needed to know that the girl's ability was self-examination.
This is also why Li Yang had to contact Wu Chen and the others. Although Li Yang still had some of his father's old subordinates he could ask for help, he couldn't ask them for help in this kind of matter, otherwise he might lose their support. So he had to get the information through Wu Chen and the others.
Wu Chen's men were certainly not limited to the few people in his villa. In previous years, with Li Yang's covert support, he had expanded his forces considerably. Moreover, due to his supernatural abilities, he was quite a formidable fighter, much like Zhang Lei before him. Lacking systematic training, he often didn't know how to utilize his advantages. Li Yang didn't want him to escape his control, so naturally, he wouldn't give him the relevant knowledge, even though it was just some tricks that could be learned in a few days, but it was still very important in practical application.
This girl was chosen with the help of Wu Chen and the others, but Li Yang was also very careful. He gave Wu Chen and the others many requirements at once: self-examination, freezing ring, mental impact, and even the spatial rigidity he already had. He also asked them to search for it. This long-legged girl was just one of them.
Li Yang didn't doubt that he only found one self-examination ability. Self-examination was a relatively rare ability. He felt very lucky that there was a girl in Shanghai with such an ability. The stronger the ability, the fewer the possessors there were. This was a reasonable natural law.
Li Yang is used to acting alone, and he doesn't inform anyone of the time of his actions. He only gives Wu Chen and the others a few time periods, and the newly created perverted villain needs to avoid these time periods, because his actions will take place within these time periods.
Li Yang leaned against the wall and lit a smuggled Cuban cigar. He didn't smoke, and in fact, he didn't have any of the bad habits that were detrimental to his health. He cared a lot about his body, and apart from raping and murdering women, he didn't have casual sex. Over the years, apart from trying to enhance his superpowers, he hadn't even visited a prostitute. He was definitely a model man.
But too many things have happened lately. He was about to become the first director of the National Bureau of Extraordinary Abilities with supernatural abilities, but then his family suddenly collapsed. What about his future? Li Yang gave a bitter laugh. What future could he have? No superior would allow the child of his political enemy to wield such power.
He focused intently on his training, and having secretly kept a number of female slaves as a precaution, he managed to avoid being discovered by those scoundrels who dared not exterminate him completely. Li Yang had thought that the light was near, but he had come to realize that both money and power could slip away at any moment; only oneself was the true asset. Once he became powerful enough, he could roam the world freely. Without these constraints, perhaps things would be even better.
Who knew that one day his energy exploded, most of his original reserves of superpowers became useless, and Li Yang's confidence was also greatly damaged. He then became addicted to the pleasure of smoking. Fortunately, he was able to control himself and knew that he could not touch drugs.
At that moment, the girl who had just gone in was dragged out, cursing, "Damn it, I paid money to sell medicine here, why are you kicking me out? I'll fight you to the death!"
As he spoke, Li Yang sensed a slight fluctuation of supernatural power. "Hmph, it really is a self-examination, but it's too weak!"
Looking at this girl, her face is not bad, and her features are actually quite nice, but her makeup is too heavy, making her look like a fairy.
"Damn it, if it weren't for your superpower, I wouldn't sleep with you even if you paid me!" Li Yang threw his cigar on the ground and ground it hard a few times.

The bar's side entrance was in a small alley. Li Yang didn't intend to waste words with this slut. He planned to drag her deep into the alley, go through the motions, and hope that this girl wouldn't leave him impotent.
Li Yang felt that his luck had been really bad lately. None of the female slaves he secretly kept had developed any useful superpowers, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to take the risk.
Li Yang grabbed the girl's wrist with one hand and prepared to cover her mouth with the other. Li Yang's superpower required the host to be conscious, and waking her up after knocking her unconscious would be troublesome.
The wrist feels rather thick to the touch, unlike that of a young girl. The pulsating muscles on it suggest it belongs to a strong man.
"Perhaps this is caused by the activation of self-examination?" Li Yang guessed reassuringly, but an ominous premonition came from his heart.
"Li Yang, I've been looking for you so hard!" The girl's voice was no longer her affected, sweet tone, but a standard male voice. Looking at the smiling face that turned towards him, Li Yang felt a chill run down his spine.
"Not good!" Li Yang realized he had fallen into an ambush, but it was hard to say which enemy it was. Li Yang instantly activated his inner energy circle, a device that had been widely adopted by the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics in recent years and was perfect for scouting enemies.
There were no other enemies within the inner energy circle, and the boy disguised as a woman didn't seem very old, which meant his skill level wasn't very high either. Li Yang instantly felt relieved. He believed that with his abilities, dealing with an opponent shouldn't be a problem. He was one of the best among his peers, not to mention that this guy was clearly not even as old as him.
Judging from this, it shouldn't be anything like rejuvenation. "Where are your people? Is it just you? You underestimate me too much. I'll make you pay for your arrogance!" From the very first word, Li Yang instantly activated his spatial freeze.
Li Yang has possessed this superpower for over twenty years and has long since mastered its application. Although it is not a fully retained superpower and only has half of its effects, this half of the effects, combined with his years of diligent practice, can still overwhelm the vast majority of people.
This fake woman is naturally Zhang Lei. To be honest, if anyone else were here, they would only be a burden. What can their superpowers, which have an index of less than 100, do? No matter how explosive the energy on Earth is, it is impossible to turn a group of people who originally knew nothing into top-notch experts in three months.
No matter how much Zhang Lei looked down on Li Yang, he had to admit that Li Yang was a top-tier expert. These people would only get in his way if they went up against him. This was Zhang Lei's current predicament. At this point, he didn't have a single reliable or useful person by his side.
Zhang Lei didn't expend much effort to portray this woman; he only made slight changes under the guidance of self-examination. He was already a natural beauty. However, his hands and feet were a bit of a problem. To make his legs appear thinner, he had to stretch them as much as possible. While his leg length was decent, his arm length wasn't so appealing. He had to draw some shading lines on his arms to make them appear much thinner, which was why Li Yang felt something was off when he touched them.
However, he was still not used to it. Even though he was wearing fake high heels that looked like heels but didn't actually have heels, Zhang Lei still felt uncomfortable all over.
Therefore, Li Yang only had the opportunity to activate his spatial freeze at the very beginning of the battle, because Zhang Lei was restoring his face and body at that time.
Regardless of whether Zhang Lei was arrogant or not, he always believed that his physique was the most standard fighting physique, the physique that could best unleash his strength. It was the kind of physique where adding an inch would make him taller, and subtracting an inch would make him too thin.
However, there was nothing wrong with what he did, because although he gave the initiative back to Li Yang, Zhang Lei probably couldn't really exert any strength against that slender-legged, high-hipped guy. Even if he had the initiative, he might not be able to beat Li Yang.
"Smack!" Don't get me wrong, this isn't the sound of a spanking; it's the crisp sound of Zhang Lei grabbing Li Yang's wrist with his backhand.
The two men were locked in a wrist-to-wrestling match, a pure test of internal strength. However, this was clearly not Li Yang's forte. Possessing diverse abilities, his strength lay in the versatility of his combat style. Perhaps against an average expert, Li Yang wouldn't be at a disadvantage in such a direct confrontation, as even his weaknesses might outweigh his strengths. But against Zhang Lei, this wouldn't work; that was Zhang Lei's greatest strength.
Zhang Lei hadn't even used his internal energy; the sheer physical strength of his arm was already overwhelming for Li Yang. With a sudden jerk, Zhang Lei's fingers, which had been gripping his arm, slipped away. Only Zhang Lei held on firmly. Zhang Lei had won this exchange decisively.
Li Yang's spatial rigidity can greatly slow down the movement speed of people within a certain range, but once contact has been made, the effect of spatial rigidity becomes negligible.
However, the situation with the other hand was completely different. Although Zhang Lei was able to overcome the effects of spatial rigidity to the greatest extent possible with his extraordinary physical strength, the way he moved as if he were in a paste, and the feeling as if countless leather straps were pulling him backward, caused Zhang Lei to often make slight errors in controlling his arm.
This tiny difference might not seem like much in normal times, but in battle, it could be the deciding factor.
Li Yang's hand, which was originally meant to cover Zhang Lei's mouth and nose, remained in place. It continued to try to fulfill its mission, but consistently avoided direct contact with Zhang Lei. Although Zhang Lei's speed was still considerably faster than that of an ordinary person, the spatial rigidity made him far too slow. Li Yang's right hand finally broke through Zhang Lei's blockade.
At this moment, the hand's mission was no longer to cover Zhang Lei's mouth; the blue nails on its four fingers plunged straight into Zhang Lei's throat.
The skin and flesh in Zhang Lei's throat first retracted slightly following the direction of the fingers, and then immediately sprang out to meet the four fingers.
This is a standard combat method after self-examination to a certain extent. He originally thought that the fake woman was using simulated supernatural power fluctuations to deceive him, but it was not self-examination. He himself was also momentarily negligent and did not notice such a difference.
At this age, there is only one person who can possess such self-cultivation upon self-examination.

"You're Zhang Lei!" Li Yang's expression changed, replacing his scream with this. Zhang Lei's clenched neck muscles snapped four of his fingers. For those who possess self-examination abilities, the phrase "the whole body is a weapon" would never be just an empty promise.
"That's right, I am Zhang Lei. It's a pity you found out a little too late!" Zhang Lei's hand firmly gripped his wrist. Although Zhang Lei's speed was slower than his due to the spatial rigidity and he couldn't grab anything, as long as he wanted this hand, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Moreover, as long as he is self-aware and not afraid of drugs, he can't do anything funny. Nevertheless, Zhang Lei still maintains full vigilance towards Li Yang, knowing that caution is always the best policy.
Zhang Lei's figure has returned to normal, but he's still wearing the same clothes, which makes him look like a middle-aged, overweight woman. Li Yang, on the other hand, looks like a disobedient child being pulled along by his mother's arm.
At least that's how it looks from a distance, in a hazy way. If you add the sound, "No, no, I want that!" and Li Yang's current posture of curling up and straining backward, it's clearly like a mother pulling a child who refuses to leave the toy area.
"Li Yang, you know what? I really missed you so much, really, I'm not lying to you!" Zhang Lei said, dragging Li Yang outwards. The area of this spatial freeze was not large to begin with, and Zhang Lei also guessed from the effect that Li Yang's ability was halved. As long as they got out of this area, Zhang Lei's movements and speed would return to normal, and then no matter what tricks Li Yang played, he would have a hard time escaping.
