Chapter 626: Chapter 629: Removing the Eye Patch

Li Dun shook his head. "It was named by a master during the early days of the country's founding. The exact meaning is no longer traceable. I've pondered its meaning before, but none of the explanations seemed to make sense. It was probably just a whim of that senior at the time. Anyway, we've gotten used to it, so we kept using it."

Yang Chen smiled indifferently, not commenting further.

Finally, they arrived at an available training room. Somehow, the news had leaked, and many soldiers from the training base knew that the regiment commander was going to spar with the legendary 'Hades' who had returned from overseas. People quickly gathered inside the training room.

Fortunately, the room was large enough. Even with dozens of soldiers standing around the ring, it wasn't too crowded.

Li Dun took it seriously. Before stepping onto the ring, he took off his jacket and stretched his muscles and bones, then faced Yang Chen with a solemn expression.

Yang Chen was actually very casual, but to avoid making Li Dun feel disrespected, he pretended to stretch and even secretly yawned.

Li Dun assumed a starting stance. The moment he was about to move, his entire aura changed dramatically, like a sleeping lion that suddenly woke up, exuding an overwhelming momentum!

Yang Chen frowned slightly. This guy must have killed many people on the battlefield. His killing intent had transformed into a fierce aura.

Clearly, Li Dun was also an internal energy master. Otherwise, merely practicing hard qigong wouldn't make him a formidable figure in Yanjing at such a young age, becoming one of the "Double Kings."

Although Yang Chen didn't know which school or sect Li Dun's internal energy belonged to, he could sense it was an extremely fierce method. At this moment, when Li Dun activated his energy, it felt as if the air itself was becoming agitated!

Seeing Yang Chen remain motionless, a cold glint flashed in Li Dun's eyes. "Excuse me!"

In an instant, Li Dun's body vanished from its original position. His speed was almost comparable to the time Yang Chen encountered that master from Takamagahara on the cruise ship.

The surrounding soldiers cheered loudly. Although they had heard of Yang Chen's reputation, they had never met him before and thought it was just a name. They believed their commander was in a completely different league.

Li Dun's explosive power drew cheers from everyone!

Yang Chen subtly shifted a foot. It seemed unintentional, but as soon as he steadied himself, Li Dun's punch had already grazed his chest, hitting empty air!

Li Dun didn't expect this punch to land. His entire arm, extended about a meter in front of Yang Chen, suddenly emitted a burst of explosive energy!

A muffled sound echoed through the air, deafening!

Yang Chen couldn't help but be slightly surprised. True qi projection?

Li Dun was about to remove his eye patch!

This young man always wore an eye patch over his right eye, resembling a pirate. Yang Chen had assumed it was due to an injury on the battlefield that caused blindness. Unexpectedly, the eye patch was worn deliberately to conceal something!

"My right eye had issues when I was five. It went blind, and no medical examination could determine the cause. Medicine and surgery were helpless. Finally, a master pointed my grandfather in the right direction, and I was sent to a senior living Buddha of the Tibetan Secret Sect for treatment. That living Buddha, who later became my master, taught me everything I know," Li Dun said as he removed the eye patch and threw it aside.

His previously closed right eye slowly opened.

Black! Completely black!

Yang Chen realized that Li Dun's right eye had no iris, just a total "black hole," with no clue what was inside!

"My right eye never fully recovered, but after treatment with some of my master's secret formulas, it underwent a transformation. I regained my sight, but it also brought something else."

As soon as Li Dun finished speaking, Yang Chen sensed something approaching his waist!

Almost instinctively, Yang Chen shifted sideways, but it was a bit late. A fist grazed his waist, the true qi tearing a slight rip in his shirt!

For the first time, Yang Chen got hit, even if it was just his clothes!

At the same time, Li Dun, who had been over ten meters away, had only just disappeared from sight!

Yang Chen was genuinely surprised this time. The one who had spoken earlier was just Li Dun's afterimage?!

Li Dun's speed and strength had undergone a qualitative leap after revealing that strange right eye!

Yang Chen, who could create afterimages himself, knew that speed alone wasn't enough to use this technique effectively in combat. Even afterimages had different levels.

Li Dun's afterimage almost deceived him, requiring extremely robust physical attributes because the atmospheric pressure endured while moving at such speed wasn't something mere "strength" could withstand!

If the single-eyed Li Dun was an early innate master, the transformed Li Dun could easily qualify as a mid-level innate master, becoming a truly competent innate expert!

In the end, it was mostly because Yang Chen wasn't prepared for such a move.

After successfully landing a hit, Li Dun smiled. "My right eye is too unique, so unless it's a matter of life and death, I won't use it. Using it hinders my true progress. But now, I won't hold back!"
