Revelations and Reconnections

Li Chen, still perturbed by the previous night's attack, began his morning routine with a jog in the park. There, he met Xu Zhonghao, and they immediately delved into their usual stretching exercises. However, Li Chen's mind was preoccupied by the dangers that Zhang Mei had faced, fueling a desire for vengeance within him.

Amid his training, a voice within his head spoke to him. "I think you should intensify your training," it advised.

Li Chen was puzzled and inquired, "Why?"

The God of War continued, "I've been sensing a sinister energy, one that feels strangely familiar. Something significant is on the horizon, and you must be exceptionally strong to confront it."

Unaware of this internal dialogue, Xu Zhonghao noticed Li Chen's distracted demeanor. Concerned, he asked, "Li Chen, is something bothering you today?"

Li Chen replied, "Nothing major, just a lot on my mind."
