Chapter 482: Resolution (Thanks to Alliance Leader Jian Shan for the Reward)
Swoosh!
Half an hour later.
A group of servants were tidying up the messy living room downstairs.
Upstairs, in the study.
Shi Lei was flipping through account books, books, and a few secret manuals with blood-red covers.
"The Blood Dark Ritual, the Impure Incantation, the Charati Poem..."
"Is this my family's Mysticism inheritance? It's... too weak."
Two puffs of white mist emerged from his nostrils, causing Wu Guan, Shi Fu, and Shi Ding beside him to shudder.
Practicing secret martial arts could alter one's temperament.
Although he had the 'Mechanized Mind,' it was only an auxiliary combat secret technique and couldn't be activated around the clock.
Shi Lei glanced at Wu Guan and noticed that his injuries had healed significantly.
At this moment, as he swallowed some peculiar secret medicines, his burns were rapidly healing, shedding dead skin to reveal fresh new skin.
"The Blood Path Extraordinary... aside from having some merit in recovery, the rest is rubbish, completely inferior to my martial arts! From now on, I'll be in charge of all the family's mystical affairs."
Shi Ding felt a bit displeased, looking at Shi Lei but not daring to argue.
Wu Guan wanted to say something but hesitated, also not daring to ask.
"What? Do you want to learn my secret martial arts? I can teach you..."
Shi Lei smiled, "As long as you join my sect and follow my precepts, you can obtain superhuman powers. Of course, I don't have the qualifications to empower you yet, but I will soon."
"Young Master!"
Wu Guan's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed.
Shi Fu, upon seeing this, turned his head away, knowing that the family's strongest fighter had defected.
These extraordinary beings always had an extraordinary interest and enthusiasm for mysticism.
And for some unknown reason, his son had suddenly become incredibly powerful.
"It's not just Wu Guan. If you all want to learn, you can join and I'll teach you."
Shi Lei smiled.
He didn't mind the spread of secret martial arts and even wished for more diffusion—as long as he was the one empowering them.
"Now... the Shi family has a chance to make a rapid advance and take control of the entire Black Ring City, even the Viminghan area..."
"Find the Silver Ring! This is the task I'm giving you. To join the secret sect, you must show devotion and sincerity... you must do this well, understand?"
As Shi Lei's gaze swept over them, Wu Guan and the other two immediately lowered their heads...
...
The entire Shi family sprang into action, with a network of connections that outsiders couldn't imagine.
Moreover, the 'Circle of Wondrous Machinery,' led by Silver Ring, was just a small society that had emerged from a few secret transmissions, with only Silver Ring as a proper extraordinary being.
In this world, the Enlightened Ones needed to spread their influence, so they often printed, copied, and disseminated low-level secret transmissions.
As a result, mysticism never truly faded, and occasionally, a small society would emerge, only to be banned again and again.
Silver Ring was undoubtedly one of them.
Half a day later.
Midnight.
"Silver Ring, whose real name is Savile Yaqi... was originally a destitute man who came to Black Ring City to work. He worked as a mechanic at the Songson Factory for three years before suddenly resigning... Just a few months later, his colleagues who didn't get along with him and the superiors who had docked his wages all encountered misfortune... Then, the Songson Factory went bankrupt, and Savile took over the factory at a price so low it was almost a giveaway. Now, he was also considered a small factory owner in Black Ring City."
Shi Lei read the report and nodded: "He used his factory as headquarters. Now, I'm going there... Our Shi family has the chance to make a rapid advance and take control of the entire Black Ring City, even the Viminghan area..."
"Find the Silver Ring! This is the task I'm giving you. To join the secret sect, you must show devotion and sincerity... you must do this well, understand?"

Silver Ring was undoubtedly one of them.
Midnight.
Songson Factory.
As a small factory that provided various parts to major companies, it had extremely strict security.
Silver Ring Savile held many society activities within the factory.
Under the factory's current conditions, occupational hazards were almost inevitable, and if child labor was used, most child workers wouldn't survive!
Taking some of them out to satisfy the cruel and bloody sacrifices was more than enough, and it was even difficult to be discovered.
Duke, the head of the factory's security team and the acknowledged number one thug, was smoking.
As the cigarette glowed and dimmed in the darkness, his heart raced: 'Monachi died... Was he killed by his student?
"The leader has sensed the danger, and the frequency of sacrifices has been increasing significantly. Is it to create talismans and other mystical objects to enhance their strength?"
As he pondered, he saw a figure emerge from the darkness ahead.
"Who's there?"
Duke immediately placed his hand on his gun bag.
As the head of the factory guard team and the boss's top enforcer, he was the king of this factory district. He often beat up workers and even humiliated female workers, and no one dared to resist.
When encountering a situation during night patrols, he followed one principle—shoot first, ask questions later.
Bang! Seeing the figure continue to advance, Duke didn't hesitate and fired his gun.
Whoosh! The figure flashed, and he felt a scorching steam rushing towards him, causing him to cry out in pain.
Then, he heard the sound of his own arm bone cracking.
"Who's there?"
"Captain Duke... Not good, it's a monster!"
"Go get the steam rifle!"
As Duke fell, the other team members also sprang into action.
If it were just an ordinary factory guard team and bodyguards, suddenly encountering a powerful enemy, the logical response would be to retreat immediately.
But this factory guard team was different; they were all brainwashed believers of the Silver Ring. Their performance was extraordinary.
Some even carried heavy rifles, which Savile had obtained with great difficulty, as they were prohibited items.
If discovered by the peace officers, it would be extremely troublesome.
But at this moment, seeing their companions falling one by one in the darkness, they couldn't afford to worry about that anymore.
Bang! The steam rifle fired, but it didn't hit the dark figure.
"With my current steel body, I can't withstand the bullets of a steam rifle... But I just need to be faster than your fingers pulling the trigger."
Shi Lei's eyes were cold, and his movements were like a well-calculated machine, with a hint of the 'Supreme Man's Movement as a Machine.'
Bang! The steam rifle fired again, followed by a frantic reload.
Unfortunately, the gunman didn't have a chance to fire a third shot.
Shi Lei flashed forward, stopping a few meters in front of the gunman. His back muscles bulged, resembling a turbine boosting.
Whoosh! His fist's pores opened, and steam was released, like a steam valve, so she could confide in you. This will create a sense of loyalty and dependence, making her less likely to betray you."
"Die!"
Savile was thin, and his eyes were deeply set in his face. He was the most terrifying enemy.
Unfazed, he reached his right hand into the blood-soaked altar. When he withdrew it, it was covered in machinery, transforming into a mechanical arm.
It resembled the external armor skeletons of the interstellar age.
This 'Gear Hand' holy relic was obtained by Savile after sacrificing an unknown number of people, trading with the secret land of machinery in the deep sea layer of the ether plane."
Of course, after using it, she will not to do so."
"Attack!"
The other black-robed figures scattered, some throwing a few talismans towards Shi Lei.
The colorful talismans glowed, landing on Shi Lei and causing various negative effects.
Such a display would even be enough to defeat a second-tier 'Profound One.'
Even a third-tier 'Enlightened One' would have to be cautious.
Unless it was a sect specializing in physical enhancement, no one would be so reckless.
But for Shi Lei... What about mental shocks and curses? His mechanized mind could handle them.
As for hidden weapons, flying knives, and revolver bullets, none could penetrate his defense.
He focused his gaze on Savile, the only enemy. The turbine boosted again, causing his 'steam' to surge, and he unleashed the Pendulum Punch.
This was the 'Turbine Boost Technique!'
Bang! The blue-black fist struck the mechanical arm, and in mid-air, there was a sense of evenly matched strength.
"No!"
Savile's face turned angry and pained, feeling intense pain where the mechanical arm connected to his shoulder.
Then... Streams of high-temperature steam, like sharp arrows, hit his face.
"Weakling!"
Shi Lei grabbed Savile's face and lifted him up. "With your level of skill, you dare to cause trouble for my master?"
"Who... is your master?" Savile's face was disfigured, and he forced out words through the gaps in his exposed teeth.
"My master is naturally the leader of the Mystic Sect..."
A sinister smile appeared on Shi Lei's lips, and he clenched his fist.
Bang! The headless corpse fell, and the remaining members of the 'Circle of Wondrous Machinery' collapsed, their faith shattered, and they fell into a state of madness and stupor...
