In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed in cell B.

Master Luo looked at the members of the Soul Locking Gang, his eyes full of excitement.

After obtaining five sets of body technique martial arts, they spent three whole days to disassemble and integrate them.

Then, it took another ten days to successfully cultivate the entire body technique martial arts.

Looking at the eager crowd, Master Luo excitedly said, "We have completed the Phantom Body Technique, and today is the day we will once again suppress the Bai Shi Gang."

The crowd was naturally excited upon hearing this. In the past month and a half, they had suffered quite a bit. They couldn’t imagine the pain they would endure if the Bai Shi Gang continued to suppress them.

At this time, in cell A number 1.

"Sir, it’s been half a month, will Master Luo really fall for it?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Based on my observations over the past few days, the members of the Soul Locking Gang occasionally use a few moves of the Phantom Body Technique in combat. It’s their instinctive reaction; sometimes trying to deliberately hide it makes it easier to expose."

Old Bai agreed and nodded, saying, "Indeed, developing muscle memory means they have mastered it. They probably haven’t used it because they’re waiting for the slower members to catch up."

Shi Fengzi furrowed his brow and said, "Even the less talented ones should have mastered it after half a month’s hard training."

"You’re oversimplifying things. Old Bai didn’t give it away for nothing; they needed to disassemble and integrate the techniques, which also took several days. You shouldn’t be so anxious; fishing requires patience. I believe we’ll see results in a few days." Chu Chen comforted him with a smile.

Shi Fengzi’s worry quickly dissipated.

He had a stubborn temper; over the years, he was the one who got beaten the hardest, but he never backed down, never yielded, and only got braver the more he fought, which is why people call him Shi Fengzi.

Now, the Phantom Body Technique saved him from being an easy target, so he was more anxious about the Soul Locking Gang’s scheme.

It was time for exercise outside.

When Chu Chen led everyone to the playground, they found the Soul Locking Gang approaching.

Master Luo seemed unchanged, though his eyes were sharper, while the members behind him looked eager to fight.

Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately had a plan. His mouth curved slightly upward, but his gaze turned cold.

Having set things up for nearly a month, today was the day to close the net.

Master Luo glared at Chu Chen and the others and said coldly, "Today is the day my Soul Locking Gang will suppress your Bai Shi again."

Chu Chen sneered in response, "Oh really? You seem quite confident. I wonder where that confidence comes from."

Master Luo didn’t strike immediately; instead, he planned to deliver a psychological blow. He slowly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers in the air.

Gangzi stepped forward without a word and began demonstrating the Phantom Body Technique.

Apart from the core members of the Bai Shi Gang, the ordinary members were already dumbfounded.

"This is the Phantom Body Technique, how is this possible, why do the Soul Locking Gang know it too?"

"No, we only learned twelve forms of the Phantom Body Technique, but the Soul Locking Gang performed eighteen forms."

"Hmph, there must be a traitor, even among the core members."

"It’s over, they know more than we do, how can we be their match."

"Look, the Soul Locking Gang’s eighteen forms seem to be an integration of six sets."

"No, it’s five sets."

While everyone whispered, Master Luo and the others looked at them triumphantly.

A few moments later, Gangzi finished the Phantom Body Technique demonstration.

Master Luo laughed and said, "You thought disassembling the martial arts would fool us?"

Chu Chen laughed instead of getting angry and said, "Oh really? Have you ever thought this was a trap set for you?"

Master Luo’s smile vanished instantly, his expression turned unpredictable.

After some thought, as if realizing something, he glared at Chu Chen and said coldly, "Hmph! How dare you deceive me, do you think I’m a fool?"

Chu Chen remained calm, staring at him indifferently and said, "To see if you’re a fool, just test it."

No sooner had Chu Chen finished speaking, Shi Fengzi stepped forward to confront the opponent.

Seeing this, Master Luo motioned to Gangzi, "Go test it."

Without hesitation, Gangzi began to exchange blows with Shi Fengzi.

Initially, they were evenly matched, but as time passed, the flaws in Gangzi’s cultivation started to show: his steps were not smooth, occasionally stiff.

Of course, these issues only appeared when facing the true Phantom Body Technique, flowing smoothly during practice.

This situation was thanks to Old Bai; the Phantom Body Technique perfectly countered the six sets he created.

Shi Fengzi used the Phantom Body Technique and Furious Wind Fist, defeating Gangzi in a matter of moments.

At this point, Master Luo’s face was extremely unsightly, his gaze piercing through Chu Chen and the others to those at the back of the crowd.

Seeing this, Chu Chen’s gaze turned colder, but he smiled and said, "Sun Ziyan, Ping Yongkang... you five come over."

The five people’s faces changed upon hearing this, but they bravely stepped forward in front of Chu Chen.

Master Luo’s face turned even darker, his eyes like knives on Sun Ziyan and the others.

Chu Chen suddenly laughed, patting Sun Ziyan’s shoulder, saying, "This plan’s success is thanks to you, don’t worry, I won’t treat you unfairly."

Sun Ziyan and the others were stunned; they had imagined many outcomes, but never that Chu Chen would do this.

Before they could recover, Master Luo already burst with rage, pointing and cursing at them, "Damn you, how dare you deceive me, don’t forget I hold leverage over you, looks like you’ve had enough of living."

The five’s faces immediately paled.

"Master Luo, don’t slander us."

"Yeah, don’t spout nonsense."

Hearing this, Master Luo’s face flushed with anger, pulling out a stack of documents. "These are the proofs of your collusion with my Soul Locking Gang, you dared to deceive me, you won’t get away with it."

Chu Chen coldly said, "Hmph, do you think waving some papers around will make us believe..."

Before Chu Chen finished, he quickly moved to Master Luo, snatching the evidence from his hands before he could react.

"Haha, thank you, Master Luo, for helping us expose the traitors in Bai Shi Gang."

"What, this... damn it, you dare to fool me." Master Luo stumbled back in disbelief.

"Hmph! If you weren’t guilty, I wouldn’t have succeeded."

"Pfft"

In a fit of anger, Master Luo spat out blood and fainted.

Gangzi caught Master Luo and immediately commanded the Soul Locking Gang to retreat.

Seeing this, Chu Chen hadn’t planned to hit a dog when it’s down, as today’s goal was already achieved. There was no rush, with plenty of time in the future to settle the scores.

Now, he needed to deal with these five traitors.

Chu Chen coldly said to Sun Ziyan and the others: "Take them back."

The five turned deathly pale, collapsing to the ground.

They were well aware of their fate.

Though they wouldn’t face death, they’d wish they were dead.
