"So this is skill assimilation." Zhou Heng muttered to himself as he looked at his fingers.

The Heavenly Mage System had assimilated Chen Hexi's music skills to itself.

This was much more comfortable than unlocking a skill from the Heaven Teacher Pavilion. Zhou Heng still had some lingering fear when he thought of the pain he had suffered when he unlocked the . If he could continue to improve himself through assimilation, it would be much faster and easier than forcing a book into his head. However, the rewards for the missions issued by the Heavenly Master System had yet to find the pattern, so before receiving the missions, Zhou Heng did not know which missions would assimilate the skills of the wandering souls to himself.

Just then, Zhou Heng heard a burst of applause from Xu Yi and the others. It was Xu Yi and the others who were spontaneously applauding his brilliant performance.

Zhou Heng naturally stood up and bowed to everyone. Even the etiquette of a pianist was assimilated into his body.

The current Zhou Heng definitely would not think that the appearance of the function "assimilate" would bring him so much trouble in the future.

****************

It was Chief Wang from the police station who was feeling the most troubled and troubled right now.

Mayor had just called and scolded him. The police under his command had grabbed Mayor's nephew in fifteen minutes. Mayor scolded him for capturing someone unconscious, and ordered him to release them immediately.

Bureau Chief Wang explained to Mayor that your nephew has already been bribed by Ding Long and is currently working for him. We captured him to protect him, and at this time, he can't continue to tangle with Ding Long. But he did not expect that his words would instead incite the anger of the Mayor.

"I don't care what Ding Long and Ding Hu are?" Mayor started cursing on the phone, "You said that he bribed my nephew, do you have any evidence?"

After that, without waiting for Bureau Chief Wang to explain, Mayor sneered on the phone, "Surnamed Wang, you have such a great authority now!"

The director had no choice but to accept his fate. He placed Mayor's nephew back to Ding Long's side, afraid that Ding Long would be even more reckless.

"Should we release them?" the man asked cautiously, watching the director's face.

"Go ahead." Director Wang waved his hand in annoyance, "Let them all go." He was no longer in the mood to care about these things.

Not long ago, Ding Long spread the word: "Whoever can find Ding Ling, can sit in the second seat in the dragoncloud."

Because of this sentence, the chaos on the streets had escalated. Originally, it was just some hooligans fighting for the bounty of finding the Miss Ding.

The most immediate effect was that all the leaders of the major associations would show their heads. The small skirmishes from before would no longer exist. Every second from now on, there would be a huge group fighting with each other.

To the Police station, the only good news was that the shadows that were initially hidden no longer covered up. If not for this incident, the police would never have thought that the nephew of the Mayor would be a small leader under Ding Long.

"Ding Long, you went overboard this time." Director Wang muttered.

***************

"Big Brother Ding." Ding Long's subordinates looked at the information on the phone and whispered into Ding Long's ear, "That kid has been released."

"I already knew that." Ding Long laughed and said, "'s nephew, this kid's identity is really useful."

"What should we do next?" the underling asked.

"Continue to probe," Ding Long said. "Let's test out their bottom line."

The subordinate immediately nodded.

Bringing out Mayor's nephew was just a test to Police station. If they were to really deal with him, they definitely could not let such an important person return to their side. That would be an extraordinary protective talisman.

Ding Long's face revealed a pleased expression. It had been too long since he had shown off his skills like this, so long that he almost forgot how much power he had in the Coastal City. Power, however, can only be truly felt when it is used.

"Brother Ding, no one has found any news of Miss." Ding Long's subordinate suddenly said to Ding Long.

Ding Long frowned. Based on the number of people he had mobilized, it would not be difficult for him to flip the entire Coastal City over. If there really was a group that could kidnap Ding Ling, then it would not leave any traces behind. This kind of organization could be counted on one's fingers in Coastal City.

The one who bore the brunt of the charge was Tong Family. Although the Tong Family had gradually declined in recent years, they were under the direct protection of the military. It was just that the Tong Family and Ding Long did not have any connections, so there was no reason to offend Ding Long.

Compared to the Tong Family, Seaside Government did indeed have a reason to target Ding Long, but since Ding Long had already established himself, if Ding Ling was truly in their hands, they would not use Ding Ling to threaten them and stop themselves from causing chaos.

The last possibility was the 'black tower' that the guide had mentioned. After getting to know Zhou Heng, Ding Long had a little understanding of the forces outside the known world. If there really existed Magi, and these Magi had formed an organisation, then no matter how powerful Ding Long was at the edge of the ocean, he wouldn't have the confidence to deal with this kind of unknown power.

Ding Long was worried that the one who kidnapped Ding Ling would be the "Black Tower". Although there couldn't be two tigers in one mountain, he would have to start an all-out war with this Magi organisation sooner or later. The current Ding Long did not know anything about his opponents at all — How many people does "Black Tower" have? Where are their bases? What is the structure of their personnel? How strong was the so-called Magus?

Ding Long was unable to answer any of the questions.

He had to get someone to help him figure this out so he could deal with this mysterious organization.

And looking at this person, it was none other than Zhou Heng.

Thinking about it, Ding Long could not help but sigh. After he and Xiang Yunhai's showdown and broke off, he was so busy dealing with the stall Xiang Yunhai left in the dragoncloud that he forgot to continue their relationship. Now it was time to hire someone, but no one was available. Even the Dragon King of the Seas, who regarded himself as cautious, had times when he miscalculated.

Of course, he knew that Zhou Heng was currently studying in the Coastal University, this wasn't any hard information to find, but Ding Long couldn't think of a way to force Zhou Heng to do what he wanted as if he was dealing with an ordinary person. In the future, Ding Long still had a lot of times to use Zhou Heng.

Why don't you send Zhou Heng a message? Ding Long began to hesitate.

After a while, a text message finally came out from Ding Long's phone.
