C23 Endless Weakening
Upon acquiring the Endless Weakening System, Ye Kai's excitement reached its peak. A flicker of indescribable joy passed through his eyes. With the system in his possession, challenges seemed to dissolve into simplicity before him.
The Endless Weakening System granted Ye Kai the power to diminish the abilities of Ma Rulong and Lin Feihu at will. Regardless of their formidable Attack Power and defenses, he could reduce them to nothingness in a heartbeat. This thought secretly thrilled him.
Lin Feihu, on the other hand, was far from pleased. As the head of security for the company, he aspired to climb the corporate ladder. Though his role was crucial in safeguarding the company's well-being, it paled in comparison to the influence wielded by the top executives. Eager to break into the higher ranks, Lin Feihu diligently ingratiated himself with the general manager, Ma Kai. Given his status, getting close to Ma Kai was challenging, so he focused on winning the favor of Ma Rulong, Ma Kai's right-hand man.
When Ma Rulong tasked him with handling the seemingly insignificant Ye Kai, Lin Feihu was elated, viewing it as an opportunity to impress Ma Kai. To Lin Feihu, Ye Kai was nothing more than insignificant trash, unworthy of his concern.
Yet, to his astonishment, Ye Kai seemed utterly indifferent when Lin Feihu addressed him. This perceived disregard was a blow to Lin Feihu's pride.
It took Lin Feihu's bellowing to snap Ye Kai out of his reverie. Ye Kai spun around, giving Lin Feihu a blank, bewildered stare.
"What did you say?" he asked, his tone tinged with naivety.
Ye Kai had been engrossed in exploring the Endless Weakening System, paying no mind to Lin Feihu's words. Lin Feihu was, after all, of no consequence to him.
Fuming, Lin Feihu shook with rage.
"I said I want to have a showdown with you!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.
His voice boomed across the cafeteria, capturing the attention of everyone present. They abandoned their meals and gathered around to witness the unfolding drama.
Expressions of bewilderment and whispers of curiosity spread across their faces.
Lately, Ye Kai's notoriety within the company had seen a certain rise, thanks in part to Xiao Wang's bold confrontation with the formidable Chen Wenli. This incident had lent Ye Kai a measure of fame.
Yet, when compared to Lin Feihu, he still had a long way to go.
All eyes were on him.
In that moment, Ye Kai burst into hearty laughter.
"If Captain Lin is in the mood for a challenge, I'm more than happy to oblige. Whatever you wish to compete in, I'm game!"
Upon hearing Ye Kai's response, Ma Rulong and Lin Feihu shared a quick consultation, their faces lighting up with surprise and delight.
They were overjoyed.
Lin Feihu's fists tightened.
"I'm right here. Speak your mind..." Lin Feihu's tone was somewhat gruff.
It was clear he was quite irritated with Ye Kai, but Ye Kai merely offered a slight smile, clearly unbothered by Lin Feihu's animosity.
Ye Kai casually curled his lip.
He had surpassed Lin Feihu by leaps and bounds. The Endless Weakening System had widened the gap between them to an immense extent.
Thus, Ye Kai was unconcerned with whatever Lin Feihu might think. In a face-off, his Attack Power was an undeniable force of domination.
At that moment, Lin Feihu approached.
"If you're up for the challenge, young man, follow me..." He gestured towards the backyard.
The company's backyard boasted a spacious Training Field where the security personnel regularly trained and employees took their breaks and strolls.
The Training Field was indeed expansive.
Without any reservations, Ye Kai followed Lin Feihu to the Training Field. As the two made their way, the rest of the onlookers set aside their meals and flocked to the scene.
They were a crowd that thrived on excitement, and with Lin Feihu's well-known prowess, their anticipation was palpable.
Deep down, they were all thrilled.
And so, the crowd converged. Ye Kai surveyed the Training Field, noting its considerable size. It was well-equipped with an array of heavy machinery and numerous tools, mostly designed for physical strength training.
Ye Kai was lost in thought upon seeing the items before him.
It was then that Ma Rulong spoke up, "These are the tools Captain Lin typically uses to train the security guards. Ye Kai, I've heard you're quite skilled. Why not challenge Captain Lin to a competition using these? It would be more interesting if there was a wager involved—that would be perfect!"
Ma Rulong enunciated each word deliberately.
Upon hearing Ma Rulong's suggestion, Ye Kai sensed the man's scheme was about to surface, but he remained unfazed. With his hands clasped behind his back, he looked earnestly at Captain Lin.
"Bring on whatever tricks you have; I'm not concerned in the slightest!" Ye Kai declared with conviction.
His tone was as if he were discussing something utterly mundane.
Ma Rulong responded icily, "If someone loses, they must grant the winner a request, and it must be fulfilled publicly. Ye Kai, do you have the courage to agree?"
Lin Feihu wore a challenging expression.
"Of course, I dare..."
Ye Kai was ready to put these two braggarts in their place; to do anything less would be a disservice to their audacity.
His demeanor was so composed, treating the situation as if it were trivial, which was beyond Lin Feihu's expectations.
"Kid, it's simple. Do you have the guts to race me in a 100-meter dash?" Lin Feihu taunted.
His speed was exceptional; before becoming a security guard, he had been a formidable figure.
With a strong aptitude for running and jumping, he had even been a professional second-tier athlete. His capabilities were not to be underestimated.
Lin Feihu stepped back, issuing the challenge.
"I wonder if you're up for it."
At his words, the crowd began to murmur, clearly in favor of Lin Feihu.
"Captain Lin was once a professional sprinter. Ye Kai doesn't stand a chance!"
"Ye Kai must be out of his mind to even consider racing Lin Feihu!" the onlookers speculated.
