Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 176 - 169: A Hidden Figure Senses a Connection Across the Ocean

CLICK. CLICK. CLICK.

A sudden chill ran down everyone’s spine, and several of the younger staff members couldn’t help but take two steps back.

"Incredible... Incredible..."

The assembled experts and scholars couldn’t help but mutter to themselves.

They had come all this way and recalled what the middle-aged man had said earlier. As genuine experts in their field, how could they not understand the truth of the situation?

The man before them was using his own human magnetic field to forcibly interfere with the chip in the other person’s brain, causing it to temporarily malfunction!

To them, this was simply unbelievable!

What was even more terrifying was that at least five hours had passed between when they were summoned and their arrival. Did that mean this person had been maintaining this state for over five hours?

To maintain such a high-intensity output from a human magnetic field for so long... this was nothing short of godlike power.

If this person were to unleash his full power, just how strong would he be?

"Is this the one who defeated that foreign Martial Artist?"

Lei Chenfeng asked a nearby Special Security Bureau staff member in a low voice.

The Modu Street Fight. The incident had enormous repercussions. Although he hadn’t had time to be at the scene, he had heard some news about it.

"That’s right. During the surgery, Mr. Yi will be helping to suppress the chip’s activity the entire time. However, it means we won’t be able to use any electronic equipment."

The Special Security Bureau staff member nodded.

The many experts and scholars let out a deep breath. With him constantly exerting that magnetic field, it would be a miracle if any sophisticated electronic medical equipment could function at all.

"Lei, it looks like the surgery will be up to you. We old-timers can’t last long next to this ’Immortal.’ The most we can do is offer a little assistance."

An old expert said to Lei Chenfeng with a hint of resignation.

For them, it was already an achievement just to stand steady near that man, let alone hold a scalpel.

Only Lei Chenfeng was qualified.

He had a foundation in Cultivation, had returned from advanced studies at a top foreign academy, and was very young. In terms of both stamina and skill, he was impeccable—the perfect choice for the job.

’The times are really changing. With the continuous development of life sciences and Cultivation systems, powerful individuals will become more and more common. When it comes to the world’s most cutting-edge fields, it’ll probably be impossible to get anywhere without some Cultivation of your own.’

’It seems the popularization of Cultivation is inevitable.’

’A new era is approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye. Relics of the old era like us will probably have to retire soon.’

Once everyone was in place, a surgical plan was quickly decided upon. Since no electronic equipment could be used, modern diagnostic scans were impossible. Fortunately, they had previously dissected and studied the corpse of a Super Warrior, so they could determine the chip’s approximate location. Moreover, a Super Warrior’s Life Force was extremely powerful, so a slight deviation during the surgery wouldn’t pose a major risk.

「A short time later, the surgery officially began.」

The Super Warrior’s body was so powerful that even with specially prepared tools, just performing the craniotomy took a considerable amount of time. And with no electronic devices to assist, they had to rely solely on experience, making progress exceptionally slow.

In three hours, the assistant doctors had been swapped out no less than ten times, and Lei Chenfeng’s scrubs were soaked with sweat.

With that man in the room, constantly releasing a terrifying magnetic field, the immense pressure was no joke. An ordinary person couldn’t have lasted even half an hour.

And that was with him holding back as much as possible.

Lei Chenfeng couldn’t help but glance at the young man sitting beside the operating table, one hand resting on the patient’s abdomen.

The man’s expression was as calm as ever, without a single bead of sweat on his face, as if he could maintain this state indefinitely.

’It’s terrifying,’ Lei Chenfeng thought. ’We can barely stand the aftershocks of his magnetic field, yet he’s the one at the very center of it, and his expression hasn’t changed in the slightest. What an unfathomable level of power!’

’It’s a shame. I started my Cultivation too late, and medical school took up most of my energy. To this day, I still haven’t been able to break through the threshold of the Realm of Mighty Spirit.’

Finally, Lei Chenfeng located the chip and began to carefully sever its connection to the target’s brain.

「Just then, on the other side of the ocean, inside a secret laboratory.」

A tall young man in a white lab coat, whose face bore the features of multiple ethnicities, seemed to sense something and frowned suddenly.

"Chip Number Sixteen?"

Dr. Beretta’s expression was calm as he slowly stood up, muttering to himself.
