The plastic humanoid target was completely white. When struck by the invisible, faint green electric light, it only swayed slightly before becoming unresponsive.

'No physical attack power at all?' Li Cheng颐 walked closer and reached out to touch the target.

There wasn't even a trace on the hardened plastic, as if the electric light hadn't hit it at all.

But he had clearly seen the green electric light land on the target.

'Combining this with the performance of the Flower Scale Armor on my body before, could it be that this green electric light is specifically targeting inanimate objects?'

Li Cheng颐's gaze shifted and landed on the still-alive, ugly, mutated white mouse, Bai Yi, in the corner.

The mouse looked rather weak, its lifespan clearly shortened significantly, accelerating its aging process.

Now it was lying weakly in the cage, motionless except for its eyeballs and the breath puffing from its nostrils, proving it was alive.

Li Cheng颐 aimed, lifted the greatsword, and slashed at Bai Yi.

*Crack.*

The green electric light flew out again, instantly hitting Bai Yi and the iron cage.

Electric arcs spread, covering both. It lasted for a full three seconds before disappearing.

Li Cheng颐 walked over, squatted down, and touched the iron cage.

The cage was full of cracks, with gaps everywhere, on the verge of breaking.

Bai Yi was stiff all over, its eyes bulging out, unable to move.

Li Cheng颐 reached out and patted it.

It didn't move.

Bai Yi's entire body tilted and went completely limp.

He touched its heart; it wasn't beating.

'So it's not that there's no damage, but the damage is very weak. The damage to inanimate objects is greater, and extremely fast!' Li Cheng颐 noted in his mind.

Standing up, he lifted the greatsword and prepared to test its hardness.

The method was simple: let it test against the Flower Scale Armor one by one to get a rough idea of its level.

The testing continued until the afternoon.

The final conclusion was that the Green Lightning Sword's hardness wasn't very high, only at the level of a common kitchen knife.

It was basically like natural material, not smelted at all.

As night approached, he brought the Green Lightning Sword with him, still not testing the Sword Orchid Ultimate Form.

Last time, the Sunflower Flower Scale Armor, that is, the Sunflower Armor, incinerated all objects within a ten-meter radius indiscriminately when the Ultimate Form appeared.

This time, Li Cheng颐 was worried about the same thing. And testing in the vicinity would attract too much attention.

Anyway, he was about to enter the Blind Spot soon, so he could test it inside and see the effect.

So he wasn't in a hurry.

He picked up the various props and makeup he had prepared.

Li Cheng颐 walked out of the villa, about to get into the car and leave for the performance.

Suddenly, a faint tremor instantly came from the Evil Flower mark.

He paused and looked down at the back of his right hand.

On the Evil Flower, the newly activated Purple Magnolia Flower God position was faintly glowing with a purple light.

"What's going on?" There was no feedback, no information, just a faint purple light constantly illuminating.

"What's wrong, boss?" Zhou Xingtong asked, puzzled. She couldn't see the light, only that Li Cheng颐 was standing there in a daze.

"It's nothing... maybe I was just seeing things, I misread it," Li Cheng颐 replied.

The Purple Magnolia was related to the Flower Language Pearl, that is, the Mother of Hearts' ability. Most of this Flower God position's power was in Flower Language.

Now that there was an anomaly, it was very likely that something was happening with someone else's Flower Language Pearl.

Thinking of this, he planned to call and inquire about each of them after the performance.

Shuoyang City.

The sky darkened.

Longmen Diao sat alone on the sofa, rubbing his knees. No one else was in the living room. He didn't know where his parents had gone.

The courtyard lights outside illuminated his melancholic face.

He was grounded, not allowed to leave the house, not allowed to go anywhere, without any pocket money, and his brothers weren't allowed to pay attention to him.

All credit cards were suspended.

To prevent him from causing trouble again, this was the punishment his father, Ji Qiang, had given him.

The grounding would last for a month.

And this time wasn't for him to play around at home, but for various professional experts to train him specifically.

"Sigh" Longmen Diao sighed, feeling that he was really done for this time.

The good old days were gone, and what awaited him was hellish training.

*Click.*

Just as he was thinking, the door opened.

A tall, stern short-haired man walked in.

The man's face was very similar to Longmen Diao's, but his skin was darker, his face was more handsome, and his body was more well-proportioned and stronger.

He was wearing a silver-gray suit, with a hint of fatigue on his face. After pushing the door open, the first thing he saw was Longmen Diao on the sofa.

"."

"."

The two men met eyes.

Longmen Diao forced a smile.

"Bro, you're back." He showed a flattering expression.

The person was his biological brother, and the true heir of the Tiger Gang—Ji Xian.

Compared to his good-for-nothing younger brother, Ji Xian was far superior in every aspect.

And he had married the daughter of a major family in the city long ago and had children.

A PhD in Management from a prestigious university, he had survived five gene enhancement injections. After returning, he had increased the total profit of all the Tiger Gang's industries by 30% in just two years, and reduced redundant spending by half.

He had extremely high prestige within the gang and was now about to gain a firm foothold.

Hearing his greeting, Ji Xian didn't bother to respond, changed his shoes, and entered.

Behind him, a beautiful woman in a gray dress led a three or four-year-old girl in.

"Sister-in-law, hello, long time no see." Longmen Diao stood up, waved, and smiled.

The woman squinted and didn't even look at him.

"Ni Ni, be careful of the threshold, you can't wear outside shoes inside." She instructed the little girl.

"Got it." The girl, Ni Ni, was Ji Xian's daughter. She was wearing a pure white dress, her little short legs were fat and tender with lots of meat.

"It's Uncle!" Ni Ni saw Longmen Diao at a glance. Her little fat face immediately filled with smiles.

After changing her shoes, she immediately wanted to rush towards Longmen Diao, but her mother grabbed her.

"You've played enough today, now it's time to go back to your room and study!"

"But I want to play with Uncle..."

"You can't."

The woman said, pulling her daughter upstairs.

Ji Xian took out his phone and looked at it, then followed upstairs.

The family of three, except for the little girl Ni Ni, completely ignored Longmen Diao.

Soon, the sound of children crying came from upstairs, followed by beatings and scolding.

The smile on Longmen Diao's face slowly faded as he slumped back onto the sofa.

His face no longer held the usual smiling, lecherous, rogue-like look he had when he was with his team.

If there was a choice, who would want to press a hot face against a cold butt, and who would want to deliberately act cheap and be ridiculed and belittled all the time.

Sitting on the sofa, he turned his face and looked at the high-hanging white star outside the window.

His heart calmed down for a moment.

Actually, he also wanted to work hard and become stronger, but he just couldn't do it...

He was stupid, couldn't learn anything, congenital dysplasia led to poor motor nerves, he finally managed to run the gang, had many brothers, and was starting to make some progress, but then he was pulled into the Blind Spot...

Blind Spot...

There was no hope. What else could he do?

Give up?

No... he had never given up.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have traveled all the way to Suiyang to find Boss.

His brother Ji Xian looked down on him, he knew.

In his brother's eyes, he was just a parasite in the family, only knowing how to eat, indulge in extravagant pleasures, and cause trouble.

Longmen Diao lowered his head and rubbed his face.

"Uncle? Why are you crying?"

Suddenly, Ni Ni's voice came from the side.

Longmen Diao was stunned and quickly rubbed his moist eyes.

"Uncle isn't crying, he just got some dust in his eyes."

"Uncle, don't cry, I'll give you peppermint candy!" Ni Ni stretched out her little fat hand, holding a stick of bubble gum in a light green wrapper.

It was clearly bubble gum, but she couldn't read, and thought it was peppermint candy because it was green.

Longmen Diao couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, Ni Ni." He reached out and took the candy.

Then he quickly took out a small redwood box from his pocket.

This was a gift he had prepared for Ni Ni long ago. A little elephant music box that he had put a lot of thought into customizing.

"This is a gift for Ni Ni. Let's exchange." He said with a smile, placing the box in Ni Ni's little fat hand.

"Uncle is the best!" Ni Ni smiled immediately.

"Ni Ni!" Suddenly, the woman's voice came from upstairs. "Get back here and study!"

"Oops, Mom found out! I have to go back! Uncle, can I come play with you later tonight when I can't sleep?"

Although three-year-old Ni Ni spoke with some pauses and slowness, her ability to express herself was extremely clear.

"You have to sleep at night, otherwise you won't grow tall and you'll become ugly. Maybe, maybe we'll play together sometime in the future." Longmen Diao smiled and rubbed her little face.

"Okay."

Ni Ni turned around and ran on her little short legs, skillfully going upstairs on the other side of the elevator, going around to get back to her room.

Obviously, she hadn't come down the stairs.

At a young age, she already knew the essence of guerrilla warfare.

Watching Ni Ni leave, the smile on Longmen Diao's face faded.

He knew that without the support of his family, he was nothing. Compared to elites like his older brother, he was a piece of trash.

But...

Even if it's a piece of shit!

It also has the right to live!

His hands gradually clenched as he stood up.

Lowering his head, he looked at himself now.

'If I don't have the support of my family, what can I do?'

'Now go back to Suiyang and continue to rely on making jokes and acting stupid to get by, like before?'

He liked Candy Sister, but a lot of times it wasn't because of love, but more because of envy.

Envy that Candy Sister still had terrifying computer talent, hacker talent, even after leaving her family.

She was like the main character on stage, the sun in the crowd, able to shine wherever she was.

So beautiful, dazzling.

And him...

'Why?'

'Why can't I become stronger, can't I become awesome!?'

'Even if I'm a piece of shit, I want to become the hottest shit!'

His fists slowly clenched as he stood there.

Intense unwillingness continued to surge in his heart.

*Hiss.*

Suddenly, a burning sensation gradually spread from the back of his right hand.

In the dimness, the back of Longmen Diao's right hand was slowly lighting up with a faint silver light.

"!!?" Longmen Diao's expression froze as he looked at his right hand.

'What is that!?'

Slowly raising his hand, he looked at the back of his hand.

There, he didn't know when, a silver pattern of a purple magnolia flower had appeared.

The pattern was just the right size to occupy the center of the back of his hand.

'This is...!? ' Longmen Diao seemed to remember something.

'No! I can't let my family find out!'

He quickly ran to the door, pushed it open, and ran all the way down the corridor to the basement.

That was also the only place that didn't have a surveillance system installed.

*Click.*

The basement door was pushed open.

Longmen Diao stepped in.

At that moment, his entire body suddenly radiated a silver light from the bottom up.

In the dazzling silver light.

His hair began to grow longer, black hair growing to his waist.

A layer of silver light swept across his face, and the originally male face turned into Candy Rainbow's fair cheeks and crimson mouth in the blink of an eye.

The silver light continued to sweep over other parts of his body.

In just a few seconds.

Longmen Diao transformed from a true 1.78-meter-tall man into a 1.6-meter-tall black-haired, straight-haired version of Candy Rainbow.

Only this time, it wasn't just the head that changed, the whole body changed.

Except for the crucial lower body organs, everything else became exactly like Candy Rainbow!

Not only that.

*Thump.*

A loud heartbeat spread throughout his body.

A cool stream of air began to spread from his heart, distributing and flowing to all parts of his body.

All the silver light accompanied the flow of air, flowing over every inch of his skin, rapidly condensing silver-white petal armor pieces on his body surface.

Seconds later.

All the silver light went out.

Longmen Diao stood quietly in the basement.

His entire body was evenly covered in a set of silver heavy armor, a full-body armor similar to metal material.

*Buzz.*

On the front of the heavy armor, the chest and shoulders, three places simultaneously lit up with red fluorescent light.

Three crystal-like red lines, like three eyes, slowly opened slits in the armor.

The silver light on Longmen Diao's face slowly dissipated, revealing a mask completely fitted with silver metal.

Black hair poured down from behind the heavy mountain-shaped helmet, draped behind him.

Every strand of long hair was quickly covered in silver, wrapped in a layer of silver metal armor.

"This is...!!?" Longmen Diao raised his hand, looking at himself now.

When he put on this armor, he could clearly feel that the countless cool air currents were constantly strengthening and nourishing his body.

*Clang!*

Two sharp blades automatically popped out of his forearms.

The back of the silver blades also had countless dense purple magnolia patterns.

"!!?!?!?!"

Longmen Diao's body began to tremble.

"I'll be damned...!!"

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!!!"

He kept moving his body.

Light, powerful, solid, as if he had completely changed his body! So easy, he wanted to fly.

"This is fucking amazing!!!"

"Strong!"

"Yi-ge! You are my god!!! Too strong!!"
