Seeing the clothes and shoes on the metal rack vanish, Zhong Yun didn't seem surprised; instead, his face was filled with an ineffable delight.

Did it really work?

Zhong Yun walked over and touched the empty metal rack. A surge of ecstasy flooded his heart. He clenched his fist tightly and swung it fiercely through the air, releasing the overwhelming excitement within him.

After a while, he remembered to test the effect. He fumbled on the rack for a moment, cupped an object between his hands, and placed it over his head.

A bizarre scene unfolded: Zhong Yun’s entire body disappeared from where he stood, leaving only his head floating in the air.

Zhong Yun’s head "floated" in front of the mirror, pulling a triumphant face at his current appearance. Immediately after, his head vanished too, and Zhong Yun seemed to have completely disappeared from the room.

That’s right; everything Zhong Yun had crafted the night before were garments capable of rendering the wearer invisible.

The most crucial reason why Zhong Yun was so desperate to obtain Yang Siqing’s pot of “Crystal Glaze Rose” was for its second-season seeds. He had even risked offending her later just to demand the seeds as compensation.

It was all for the seeds produced by the second season of the “Crystal Glaze Rose,” because those seeds could be processed into the silver ** that granted the power of invisibility.

Ever since he saw the relevant data in the database, Zhong Yun had been meticulously planning to create an invisibility cloak. He had heard the famous name of the “Crystal Glaze Rose” since childhood, but tragically, no one in Davao knew that it was a biennial plant.

Let alone the seeds produced in the second season; Zhong Yun had no choice but to make it himself. However, given the delicate nature of the “Crystal Glaze Rose,” finding one that had naturally withered after reaching the end of its lifespan was incredibly difficult.

The first time he met Yang Siqing in the sea of flowers with Liu Yunqi, he hadn’t seen this data yet. He regretted it so much afterward that he felt like hanging himself. A complete set of invisibility gear had slipped right past him. Fortunately, he encountered her again near Old Man Di Huang’s house, which is why he rushed to chase after her in such a hurry.

Of course, seeds alone were not enough. Several special reagents were also required, and gathering the materials for these reagents was even harder. On the internet, there was absolutely no information to be found about these materials.

That was why he thought of having Chen Wen take him to a higher-tier shop to try his luck. Who knew that Ou Feng was truly resourceful and managed to acquire every single material?

Zhong Yun was both shocked and delighted, and immediately began preparations for crafting.

According to the records, the invisibility material made from the second-season seeds of the “Crystal Glaze Rose” was incredibly potent. Not only was it completely invisible to the naked eye, but ordinary instruments couldn't detect it either.

This was because this invisibility material not only distorted light rays but could also mask the biological signatures emanating from the human body.

In other words, wearing an invisibility cloak made from this material meant one wouldn't be detected by instruments like infrared detectors.

However, this material had a major drawback: it could only be applied to plant fibers. This imposed a huge limitation on its use.

Just imagine how terrifying it would be if it could be applied to metal, allowing for the creation of an invisible mecha undetectable by common instruments?

Due to material limitations, Zhong Yun only managed to create a hooded long robe that could cover his entire body, a pair of shoes, a set of gloves and socks. He had intended to make a bedsheet too, but unfortunately, the materials ran out, so he could only make that wooden model knife invisible.

Although it was only a few items, they could serve immense purposes in certain situations, such as…

After testing each item one by one, Zhong Yun carefully placed these few treasures into the box he had already prepared and set it in the corner of the room.

After securing them, Zhong Yun lay back on the **, staring at the ceiling. Lost in thought about something, his eyes flickered. “Xiao Ling, where is he now?”

“According to the imaging from Rui Xing-1, that person is still staying in a hotel in Wol City.” ZER’s voice came through.

“In the last few days, have you managed to map out his routine?” Zhong Yun’s voice was somewhat grim, and when he spoke of “him,” a trace of killing intent could be faintly detected.

“To avoid detection by the Davao authorities’ satellites, Rui Xing-1 can only linger above Wol City to film for two hours daily. However, as per your instructions, Rui Xing-1 only captures images at a fixed time every night. At that time, he is always inside the hotel,” ZER reported.

“Mm,” Zhong Yun nodded, then inquired, “Have the blueprints for that hotel been drawn up yet?”

“They have been sent to your portable computer, which also contains data on all the hotel’s alarm systems.”

“And what about Bee Insect-1? Has it been discovered?” Zhong Yun asked again.

“Bee Insect-1 is shadowing the target and has not been detected for now,” ZER replied.

“Excellent. Tonight, we proceed as planned.”

With that, Zhong Yun closed his eyes and connected to the virtual space. With more than two hours until dawn, he needed to push through to the fourth level in the “Practical Combat Simulation Training.”

During the time he was fabricating the anti-matter cannon, he had no time for “Practical Training.” After more than a month, he estimated his skills had regressed significantly.

The opponent in the fourth level was a difficult character to deal with—a pure strength type, half again Zhong Yun’s size, with massive, gnarled muscles covering his entire body, developed to an inhuman degree.

Zhong Yun’s strength was severely lacking; his blows felt like hitting iron to the muscle man, eliciting no reaction, while his own fists turned black and blue. And the opponent only needed one punch to send Zhong Yun back to the system interface.

The techniques he learned in the previous levels were of little use against this opponent; in the face of absolute power, Zhong Yun couldn’t touch him.

Challenging again after more than a month, Zhong Yun was surprised to find his strength had significantly increased. His strikes against the muscle man no longer felt like mere tickling; they were capable of inflicting some damage.

Zhong Yun’s spirit soared, knowing that the increase in his ** had brought about an accompanying boost in strength. Thus, he focused his attacks exclusively on the muscle man’s vital points, such as the eyes, neck, and **.

Unfortunately, even though Zhong Yun had improved, the gap in strength between them was still too vast, posing no real threat to the muscle man. After failing five consecutive challenges, he switched to practice mode.

Zhong Yun’s eyes widened as he waited for the replay of the last five battles. He was determined to find a flaw in the muscle man.

A figure appeared in the foreground. Upon seeing it, Zhong Yun realized it was his own virtual projection.

“Huh? Where is the muscle man? Why isn’t he showing up?”

As Zhong Yun wondered, the system’s voice rang out: “Martial Arts Technique, Broken.”

As the words fell, the virtual projection of Zhong Yun on the field sprang to life. He slowly threw a punch, and a purple vortex generated within his body. The vortex spun faster and faster until it transformed into a small ball of purple light, traveling up his arm to the point of his fist.

Zhong Yun’s eyes snapped wide open. ** could actually be used like this?
