Chapter 349 - 270: Did the Boss Really Soak in Piranha Solution for Thirty Minutes? (Part 2)
Though this speculation fits all the doubts, it’s still incredibly hard to believe.
No matter how strong one’s physique is, they are still a carbon-based organism. As long as they’re carbon-based, it’s impossible to survive for half an hour in Piranha Solution and come out unscathed.

About five minutes later, Terry hurriedly handed a white shirt and detergent to Wang Ye.
The moment his palm touched Wang Ye’s skin.
Terry recoiled as if electrocuted, quickly withdrawing his right hand,
"Hiss!"
An intense astonishment filled his eyes.
He actually felt a burning sensation on Wang Ye’s skin!
As a gang leader who often uses sulfuric acid for corpse disposal,
this sensation was all too familiar to him,
it was definitely diluted sulfuric acid that hadn’t been thoroughly washed off!
If it were concentrated sulfuric acid residue, his hand would have been burned by now.
This level of stinging pain could only be from low-concentration diluted sulfuric acid.
So...
This means Wang Ye really took a bath in Piranha Solution just now?
Terry was suddenly dumbfounded, his brain seemingly stuck, his whole body frozen in place.
Wang Ye naturally noticed Terry’s peculiar expression but paid it no mind.
Now that Terry had been transformed into an extremely loyal puppet of his.
Even if he was discovered to have extraordinary traits, it wouldn’t pose a danger.
However, Wang Ye didn’t know that at this moment, Terry’s mind was undergoing an extremely intense clash of thoughts,
In fact, from the beginning, Terry had been suspicious that Wang Ye was not the leader he knew. They’ve known each other for over a decade, and Terry was very familiar with the leader’s personality and habits, but the person in front of him repeatedly exhibited actions and words that didn’t match his impression of the leader. Although his memory told him that the person in front of him was indeed the leader of the Sloos Gang, there was a strange signal in his subconscious mind that made him feel uneasy.
However, after realizing that the "leader" in front of him had bathed in Piranha Solution,
all those doubts and suspicions vanished into thin air.
This kind of ruthless person who can’t be understood with human common sense,
even if not his leader, would have to become like a godfather today!

After scrubbing off the residual sulfuric acid from his body, Wang Ye changed into the white shirt Terry found. Although the shirt was slightly small, he could clearly feel the superior quality of the fabric and design, making it very comfortable to wear, and he estimated its price to be several thousand US Dollars.
He initially wanted to put on his original high-neck sports jacket over the white shirt, but felt that the style clashed a bit, so he asked Terry for a full suit instead, which he wore.
Though the suit was temporarily sourced from Terry and was somewhat tight-fitted, it highlighted Wang Ye’s remarkably muscular build, imposing a strong sense of pressure on those around him.
Wang Ye’s facial features and expression originally bore no discontent; in fact, he appeared rather amiable, which often led strangers to ask him for directions from a young age. But after months of evolution and cultivation, the density of Primordial Qi within him had become extraordinary, and by the law of universal gravitation, the surrounding air naturally felt heavier, lending his demeanor an inexplicable intimidation and oppressiveness. Coupled with a few subordinates following closely behind him, he looked like a genuine gang leader.
The gang’s mid-level and high-ranking members, who previously looked at him with disdain, suddenly found their arrogance diminished.
Wang Ye quickly returned to the room he was originally staying in, sat down on a chair, and started to play with the rifle.
After the Body Tempering was complete, his defense capabilities had noticeably increased, though he wasn’t sure how much.
Based on earlier tests, the kinetic energy of this rifle in his hand was about 2500 joules, capable of piercing through the doors of ordinary civilian cars. Before his sulfuric acid bath, this rifle would have certainly broken his defense. But it would only barely penetrate flesh, soon to be halted by his muscles, unable to harm his bones and deeper tissues.
So currently, testing his defense power with this rifle was the most straightforward and effective method.
Wang Ye waved his hand to disperse the surrounding subordinates.
Soon, he was the only one left in the whole room.
He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his broad chest,
Then promptly lifted the rifle and pulled the trigger towards his chest.
BANG!!!
In an instant, a flash of light shot towards his chest.
It felt as if a heavy punch landed on Wang Ye’s chest, causing him to cough a few times.
Once the pain subsided and the smoke gradually dissipated,
he carefully examined his chest, finding only a bruise and swelling on his skin.
This indicated that the bullet hadn’t penetrated his flesh.
"The progress is surprisingly significant," Wang Ye couldn’t help but marvel. Indeed, this unconventional Body Refining method is more efficient.
After completing the test, Wang Ye didn’t discard the rifle.
He might still have to face the real leader of the Sloos Gang next.
Though the rifle can’t penetrate his defense,
it can easily break through ordinary body armor.
From what Wang Ye knew, most body armors are only designed to withstand handgun power.
The reason body armor can resist bullet penetration is not because of how hard or strong its material is, but because its construction is advanced enough.
For example, ancient armor generally came in two types: chainmail and plate armor. Since there were almost no firearms in ancient times, with mostly swords, spears, and knives around, its construction was relatively simple, needing only to be lightweight, flexible, and made from hard materials. But this structure meant it could only defend against blade strikes, unable to stop powerful bow and arrow attacks.
That’s because both arrows and bullets focus their attack on a single point, such attacks are highly penetrative, capable of piercing most armors, with specialized anti-armor picks and iron maces, mainly featuring weight and pointed tips.
However, modern body armor, while thinner and softer than ancient armor, can stop highly powerful bullets, astonishing many. In reality, this is because modern body armor isn’t made from a single layer of material; it’s usually composed of multiple layers of Kevlar fiber. When a bullet is fired at 400 meters per second, Kevlar’s high tensile strength and impact resistance allow its layers to absorb the bullet’s kinetic energy layer by layer until it stops at one of the layers.
But with just Kevlar layers against handgun bullets, there may still be some defense capability, but when facing more powerful and penetrative rifle bullets fired at 800 meters per second, they can only be directly penetrated. Hence, an additional steel or ceramic plate is usually added at the front of the armor; though these are directly penetrated or shattered, the moment they’re shattered, they absorb most of the bullet’s momentum, allowing the Kevlar layers behind to catch the remaining energy.
However, even if the bullet’s kinetic energy is absorbed, its impact force will still directly hit the body’s bones, which can lead to broken ribs despite the bullet not penetrating flesh.
The more powerful the bullet, the easier it is for bones to fracture.
The rifle in Wang Ye’s hand, while it may not penetrate body armor,
can incapacitate an opponent,
To be honest, this is much better than his Throwing ability. Just a light pull of the trigger can eliminate an opponent without the need to exert oneself by swinging an arm.
