"Show me the moves you were practicing just now," Zhou You said, settling into a rocking chair with his thermos cup.

Eyes closed, he listened as Xuan Yue obediently repeated his modified moves. Zhou Yi Chen remarked, "He's not even looking. Why are you still performing?"

After finishing, Xuan Yue teased, "You're underestimating my master. Does he really need to use his eyes?" Kneeling beside Zhou You, he began massaging his legs, asking, "How was that?"

Zhou You opened his eyes, swinging his hand towards his own neck. Xuan Xue swiftly dodged, followed by a falling leaf chasing him. As he evaded and counterattacked, a realization struck him when the leaf touched the ground. "So, that's how it should be done!"

Zhou Yichen watched intently, realizing the superior technique of the subsequent palm strikes. A wave of envy washed over him; he wished for a master like that.

Master Tong had aged and seldom taught him martial arts anymore. His mother wished for him to apprentice under the Wan Jian Sect, but he had always been hesitant.

At this very moment, he knew the one he truly wished to apprentice under was Zhou You.

"Don't just stand there; show me the moves you just learned," Zhou You suddenly said to Zhou Yichen.

Zhou Yichen's eyes sparkled as he demonstrated what he had grasped, though his strength and speed paled in comparison to Xuan Xue.

This time, what chased him wasn't a leaf but a rock. His arms and legs were struck painfully several times.

Nonetheless, after completing the sequence, he gleaned valuable insights, and past issues seemed to resolve naturally.

"Brother, my inner energy has improved. Could you give me some guidance?" Zhou Yichen seemed more at ease after addressing Zhou You as "brother."

"Recite your inner energy technique to me, then circulate it through your meridians."

In the courtyard, Zhou You instructed two kids while Zhou Huajin and the old man played chess. Shao Qi was drafting a formula in the study.

He intended to forge another blade for himself, this time with his own hands.

"Look, what's that?" At midnight, the city gate guards were startled by a rapidly approaching massive figure.

"Could it be a mutated bear?"

"Sound the alarm!"

The alarm echoed throughout the city, rousing its residents from their slumber.

"What's going on? What kind of alarm is this?"

"Get up! We need to find shelter!"

The city broadcast was activated. Many had already grabbed their belongings and fled their homes, only for the message to inform them of a false alarm, urging them not to panic.

"Are they insane? They nearly gave me a heart attack!"

"I told you, our Dawn City is the safest. How could there be any danger?"

"With so many experts in the city, even a horde of elite mutated beasts wouldn't be a threat. Let's go back to bed."

Master Fan, with a stern expression, emerged from the machinery. The alarm ceased, leaving a group of armed soldiers staring in awe at him and the giant figure behind him.

"Are you... Master Fan?" Someone recognized him.

"It's me. I apologize for the unintended disturbance. My companion and I have traveled through mountains and valleys. We're quite exhausted. May we enter the city to rest?"

Everyone's gaze fixed on the huge figure behind him. It was a gigantic Iron Man suit. Although they had seen this online before, witnessing it in person was still incredibly awe-inspiring.

"But Master Fan, our city gates aren't that tall, are they?"

"No worries, it'll fit." Master Fan retreated into the Iron Man suit. Mysteriously controlling it, the massive figure started to transform. It then morphed into a large truck, swiftly passing before everyone's eyes.

"Goodness! It's like a real-life Transformer. I thought those only existed in movies!"

"So cool! I want one!"

Even Master Fan, who doesn't know martial arts, could travel from Yang City Base to Dawn City alone. If everyone had one of these, is there any place out of reach?

Everyone from the Shao family was also up and about. They had heard the broadcast and realized it was a false alarm, but Shao Qi still decided to venture out with Zhou You to investigate.

"Such an alarm is exclusive to the city entrance. It signals an invasion. But the alarm was quickly deactivated; it must have been a false one."

"But doesn’t it imply that something peculiar entered the city?"

With curiosity driving them, the two headed towards the city gate. Along the way, they encountered many others, equally restless and hesitant to return home.

City defense patrols were urging residents to return to their homes. Dawn City had regulations that after midnight, large gatherings outside were not permitted.

A rumbling sound echoed, resembling the noises of both a vehicle and an airplane.

The sound grew louder, and a red truck zoomed past them, its powerful headlights illuminating their path.

Before they could react, the truck abruptly turned around, slowing down significantly and stopping right in front of them.

"This looks... familiar," Zhou You mused, stroking his chin.

"Of course it's familiar! Isn’t this Yan Wu, the pride and joy of my teacher?"

"Ha ha ha! My dear disciple, you are indeed alive! I haven’t traveled all this way in vain." The truck began to transform, revealing itself as a ten-meter-tall steel giant.

"It really is Yan Wu!" Zhou You had a profound impression of this massive figure, having experienced it once before. He didn’t expect Master Fan to bring it to Dawn City.

Master Fan emerged, scrutinizing the two for a while before shaking his head, "Not good, not good. This face looks too effeminate now; it feels less intimidating."

A twitch appeared at the corner of Shao Qi's mouth, "That's none of your concern, Master."
