Cave Refuge-Chapter 167 - 166: Exposing the Lie_1

"Opening a ton-heavy door with a single hand, isn’t that a bit over the top?"

While practicing the Art of Controlling Objects on the platform outside the cave mansion, Dong Tianyu was already aware of a wisp of Spirit Energy in the air around him.

For comparison, if the Spirit Power contained in the air of the same volume inside the cave mansion is 10, then the Spirit Power in the air outside it is only 0.001

Though the quantity of this Spirit Energy is vastly different as compared to the one contained within the cave mansion, the existence and absence of it are two different concepts.

However, even though the air possessed Spirit Energy, considering its thin allocation, it could only be considered the initial stage of the revival of Spirit Energy.

According to the world class division in previous novels, it could at most be considered a low martial world right now. However, looking at Ye Liuyun’s portrayal of Robinson William, it seemed like it should at least be a high martial world.

Even wise old men like the Innate Masters mentioned in those books could not push a door weighing several tons with one hand.

With this in mind, Dong Tianyu spanned his Divine Sense over Ye Liuyun. He then continued to ask, "Are you bluffing? Not to mention whether your brother is that powerful or not, tell me where this multi-ton warehouse you mentioned is. I want to see it with my own eyes."

Upon hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Ye Liuyun’s heartbeat immediately quickened. Dong Tianyu instantly understood that Ye Liuyun’s earlier words were deceptive.

Ye Liuyun’s words couldn’t withstand scrutiny. Perhaps there really was a warehouse with a several ton heavy door, but these warehouses were undoubtedly located in more hidden places. How could one just casually come across them as Ye Liuyun suggested?

So, either the casual encounter or the several ton heavy warehouse door must be a lie.

There are certainly multi-ton heavy doors. An example would be the door of a gold vault, which could weigh several tons or even heavier. However, these places certainly aren’t suitable for casual visits.

Besides, another reason that made Dong Tianyu feel that he was being lied to was that Ye Liuyun traded with him in pure metal ingots and he had not specified what metal these ingots should be.

So if what Ye Liuyun said were true, that warehouse door would have been disassembled and melted into metal ingots for trading with Dong Tianyu long ago.

After all, as a merchant, Ye Liuyun would certainly not let valuable resources go to waste. Just think, a few tons of metal could be exchanged for more valuable resources with Dong Tianyu, no matter how poor the quality was.

"Stop kidding me, just tell the truth."

Seeing that Dong Tianyu seemed to guess that he was lying, Ye Liuyun chuckled and continued, "What I said was a bit exaggerated, but it’s not totally fabricated.

The door is not made of pure metal, but it does have steel-reinforced concrete injected into it. The weight is not a lie, it really does weigh several tons or even over ten tons.

But the doors were indeed opened using human strength. Although it wasn’t my brother who opened the door alone, just think about it, could more than ten people pushing dozens of tons heavy solid warehouse doors still be considered ordinary people?"

"Isn’t your brother a martial artist?"

Seeing Dong Tianyu ask without caring, Ye Liuyun seemed more anxious, "Even if he is a martial artist, wasn’t he an ordinary person before?

Although I don’t understand how strong one can become after developing Inner Breath, having more than ten people pushing a multi-tens of tons heavy warehouse door is very unusual.

You must know that there are no wheels under this warehouse door. The friction it produces when pushing it is not small. I haven’t practiced martial arts, but I’m not a fool."

Seeing Dong Tianyu’s indifferent expression, Ye Liuyun felt that Dong Tianyu might think he was bragging, so he got a little worked up, "I’m telling the truth, you need to believe me, you must believe me. Besides, aren’t you also..."

Ye Liuyun was very agitated at first, but then his voice gradually faded. It was at this time that he remembered the first time Robinson William saw Dong Tianyu and told Ye Liuyun that Dong Tianyu was no ordinary person.

Dong Tianyu was not only a martial artist, but a very capable one. When he first got to know Dong Tianyu, he even considered letting the youngest generation in his family worship him as their teacher.

Thinking of Robinson William’s strength that he saw, Dong Tianyu should not be too far behind, right? At this point, Ye Liuyun also recalled some details from his previous interactions with Dong Tianyu.

For instance, Dong Tianyu had bought a lot of guns from him, but aside from those transactions, he didn’t seem to be carrying a gun any other time he saw him.

Thinking about Robinson William’s strength, and considering Dong Tianyu’s casual demeanor, along with the fact Dong Tianyu had defeated the members of a Special Forces unit on the surface, he guessed that Dong Tianyu’s strength should not be weak either.

Having arrived at this conclusion, Ye Liuyun’s look at Dong Tianyu became resentful, like a deserted wife accidentally spotting her runaway, long-absent husband on the street.

As Dong Tianyu had locked onto Ye Liuyun with his Divine Sense, he quickly detected his resentful look.

It was as if they were classmates who had agreed to give up together, they often went out to play and didn’t seriously study. But after the exams, one scored 91 points and the other only 19 points.

Robinson William had never imagined that when they agreed to help each other and become trading partners in the market, Dong Tianyu was already showing signs of progress in his practice.

"Alright, stop looking at me like that. When we first met, didn’t I tell you once that I am a martial arts practitioner? I didn’t deceive you emotionally.

Don’t look at me with that pitiful gaze, it’s giving me the creeps."

Hearing Dong Tianyu say this, Ye Liuyun doubled his determination to keep staring dead at Dong Tianyu. But perhaps due to a shift in his mood, Ye Liuyun’s gaze lost its previous gloominess.

Although Ye Liuyun no longer held a mournful look, Dong Tianyu was still not comfortable being fixated by a man. So, he swiftly changed the subject, "Let’s talk about recent changes with Robinson William instead.

What you said earlier was a bit strange, let’s talk about something more concrete."

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s voice become more serious, Ye Liuyun dropped his playful attitude.

"I’ve investigated from the sidelines. Besides my brother, there are several other accomplished practitioners of Inner Breath in the Special Forces.

Among these experts, the younger ones are reportedly secluded, while the older ones have become interested in the tasks issued by the officials.

You tell me, why are the younger ones in seclusion while the older ones are actively participating? What do they want to do, and why are they doing this?"
