"Then what are we waiting for?" Rong decided not to waste any more time. He quickly took out a few inscription charms he had bought previously from Jin's store and stacked them together. Speed, Defence and Attack inscription charms were used out in the open and the 'employed security' instantly turned their heads towards Rong and the others.

With his Hammer out from his storage ring, he rushed towards the guards with the will to break the human wall that was blocking their path.

"That dumb guy! Does he always think that violence will solve everything?" Lian said but before she could do anything, the security guards unleashed a series of chi and animal silhouettes emerged right above them.

Instead of various animal silhouettes, it was a pack of black wolves determined to devour Rong with one swoop. With everyone's chi incapacitated, it was pretty obvious the guards who were in cahoots with the people behind the current use of dimensional instance to entrap people. Still even without chi, Rong was able to dodge the chi attacks of the black wolves.

The security guards did not hide their smiles as it was apparent they had enough of such charades. Injuring a few people in the process of keeping the 'peace' was probably permitted by their mastermind and a show of force would shove them away from the hall. Besides, now that most of them were unable to use chi nor magic, compliance should follow suit after punishing Rong.

One of the guards took his baton out and challenged Rong to a duel where the others had decided to step away from. Some were already giggling how the punk with a hammer would be beaten to submission. And as expected, when Rong slammed his hammer against the guard, it was no match against the guard's baton which was infused with a high amount of chi.

"Judging from the chi, you are probably a grade 10 or so." Rong did not fall back as he continued to struggle against the clash.

"Looks like your parents did not teach you any manners in obeying the authority. We have no choice but to use a force lethal enough to subdue you." The guard said as his animal silhouette emerged once more and the black wolf growled even more sinisterly. Rong could feel the weight of the baton getting unbearable for him to handle despite the charms that he had used.

"But I shall give you credit for being able to withstand the attack. Most chi-less cultivators would have already succumbed to it." The guard casually commented as he inserted more chi into his baton. It was pure bullying at this point and even the crowd knows that it was unwise to even go near them. "The inscription charms that you use must have been of a high grade or else, you would not even be able to last another second. Still, it does not matter as it seems like your charm is burning out."

"Heh. You have yet to see the last of Dungeons and Pandas' inscription charms and here you think you have already won, Mr Security Guard." Rong said as he risked the stalemate by unleashing his storage ring with his left hand. "When I start, run into the hall and stir as much shit as you can!" Rong said via the System Channel, specifically to his pals.

"Do you think you can even take something out at your current state?! You cannot even use your chi at all!" The guard shouted as he got a little more serious and his black wolf silhouette howled before baring its teeth towards Rong but that impudent Demon Exorcist did not give a damn.

"Not if you use a high grade storage ring which does not need any chi! Demon Ox Dual Inscription Charm! Activate!" Rong shouted as the white piece of paper flew out of his storage ring and glowed with various symbols attached to it.Two Demon Ox Bull silhouettes emerged from the charm and bellowed before Rong absorbed its chi. For some reason, it managed to kickstart his dantian core and it started to produce chi furiously, allowing Rong to continue holding against the security guard. At the same time, the dual inscription charm also released a ton of steam as part of Rong's cosmetic inscription activation and that prompted Lein and the others to slip through the guards with speed inscription charms activated. While Rong had managed to distract the bulk of the 'security staff', one of them saw them zooming through the IT Hall's doors.

He wanted to shout out to alert the others but Rong, with his chi running through his veins again, threw his hammer towards the door, causing an explosion to happen right in front of the security staff, knocking away from it. This time, not just the guard who duel with him was surprised but the rest of the staff as well, prompting them to unsheathe their swords instead of batons and rushed towards Rong.

Some of them were still shocked that there was a cultivator who was able to restart his dantian core while the crowd quickly scattered not to be caught within the crossfire. In the meantime, Yu Xuan, who was at the far end of the entire commotion, saw the entire scene unfold and was amazed by Jin's employees.

"Holy shit, how the fuck did he get his chi up and running again? Is that why they secretly implied I was a hindrance?" Yu Xuan thought to himself before he noticed that there were a few people who were acting suspiciously coordinated amidst the panicking crowd. He decided to eye them and hoped for the best for the Demon Exorcists. If Rong could restart his chi production, Yu Xuan believed the other three might be able to do the same and thus they would not be a problem for him to worry.

In the meantime, the other three Demon Exorcists who rushed into the IT Hall had realised Jin was right. No computers or servers were in the supposed IT Hall but instead a pyramidal shaped temple in front of them with several workers working to fix the tip. When the workers saw three unknown individuals standing right at the entrance, they knew the operation was somewhat compromised and proceeded to take their weapons out from their storage rings.

"Let's see if Rong's tactic works for us as well." Lein said as he took out his dual inscription charm. " I had never thought that this cringey Christmas present would be of some use to us."
