Chapter 77: No Need

“Thirteenth, you got upgraded to the bronze tier in Tianji Tower!” Qing Ji looked at the bronze token in his hand.

“Well, after completing the tasks today, I entered the bronze tier, so I can save some points when I exchange them for medicinal herbs.” Ye Shang put away the bronze token and said with a smile.

“Exchange for medicinal herbs? What kind of medicinal herbs do you want to exchange?” Qing Ji asked after getting Ye Shang a cup of tea.

“I plan to exchange them for core pills. Sikong said that using three core pills at the Soul-condensation stage is a bit too much, thus I plan to exchange for two.” Ye Shang told them his decision.

“Do you have a lot of points? Or do you think we don’t have any medicinal resources in Taixuan Peak? You don’t need to exchange your points for them, you will have the pills when you reach the Soul-condensation stage.” Qing Ji said.

Then Mo Chen smiled and told Ye Shang that Taixuan Peak provided them with three core pills when they achieved Soul-condensation stage, but under the restrictions of Liu Yangyu, each person only took one or two.

“Thirteenth, you have been doing tasks recently, and have a very stable foundation. Now, you should focus more on cultivation and stop doing tasks until you enter the Soul-condensation stage.” Qing Ji said since she was very worried that Ye Shang would pick up bronze tier tasks he could not handle.

“Okay, I understand.” Ye Shang nodded and said.

“Thirteenth, are you going to cultivate here or on Taixuan Peak?” Mo Chen asked.

“I feel the same everywhere.” Ye Shang thought for a moment and said.

“Well, Eleventh, go back and inform the Master about the situation here. I will stay here to protect your Ninth Sister during her close-door cultivation period and guide Thirteenth. In addition, when you come back, bring the resources belonging to Thirteenth.” Qing Ji said to Mo Chen.

“Since the arrival of Thirteen, I have completely lost my status and am reduced to an errand boy.” Mo Chen sighed.

“Stop complaining!” Qing Ji grabbed the towel from the table and threw it at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen chuckled and ran away.

After chatting with Qing Ji for a while, Ye Shang returned to his room on the second floor to rest since he couldn’t keep up with Qing Ji’s questioning about Sikong.

In the private room of Tianji Tower, Sikong stood in front of the window, Enforcer Dong stood not far behind her.

“Enforcer Dong, how many people know that I am here?” Sikong turned and looked at Enforcer Dong.

“Nobody knows. Master, you said that the task of the Purple Gold Beast King was a trap. Was it aimed at you? Or was it just a coincidence?” Enforcer Dong questioned Enforcer Dong uncertainly.

“A few days ago, the Dongxuan headquarters sent some personnel to every first-class city, right? …

Chapter 162: Welcome

The short man called Li Hu, had a solemn look on his face. Once he heard the orders, he asked with uncertainty, “Brother Feng, why are you so certain that they are first-ranked evolvers?” The young men laughed, “When I sent down the loudspeaker earlier, I secretly confirmed their identity too. Even though the man’s energy had a strong fluctuation, but he definitely did not exceed the range of the first rank.” “You must know that the existence of the second rank, is untouchable and there is only the boss who had managed to reach that rank in the whole Shan Xi city!”

At this moment, the young man’s eyes were full of enthusiasm for the person that he mentioned earlier.

Li Hu knew in his heart that the current in charge was one of the few people that worshipped the base leader, so he no longer talked anymore. He walked down the tower by himself and opened the gate.

“Do not try to resist. We are going to carry out an inspection.”

After that, the gate slowly opened.

At this moment, all the fur on the mutated wolfdog stood up abruptly, and its gaze transfixed at the direction of the gate.

The moment Zhang Mu felt strange, a ray of black and yellow lightning sprang out from the gates together with a person sitting on top of it.

It was a German Shepherd dog! A military dog!

After they went out, the gate quickly closed again.

As quick as lightning, they had arrived in front of Zhang Mu and the others. Although Zhang Mu was able to capture the moment of that military dog, the speed was too fast for him to see the person’s face distinctly.

That German Shepherd dog, was remarkable!

No wonder his mutated wolfdog had an embattled look, it turned out that it had met its own kind.

The mutated wolfdog barked twice but that military dog ignored it completely. The difference in obedience could be seen from here.

A short men leap down from the mutated military dog that parked in front of Zhang Mu. The look that he was giving Zhang Mu was like a wolf staring at him.

“A veteran?” Zhang Mu no longer narrowed his eyes to size up the other party. He guessed the identity of the person and questioned him.

The clean leap, straight body, the amount of space between his legs, and the opened shoulders that even a recruit could not do, coupled with the imposing pressure from his eye, allowed Zhang Mu to confirm that this man, was most likely a soldier who had been enlisted for many years.

Zhang Mu had contacted many soldiers in the past. Their ability might not be the strongest, but their enforcement was utterly superb. In fact, there were many bases controlled by the military because of the bunch of soldiers in their hand.

Was the current Shan Xi city taken over …

Chapter 61: Talisman Master!

Monday afternoon. There was 97 days till the university entrance examination.

After school, Yan Huang wanted to go to the Nine Dragon Lake to cultivate. However, the moment he stepped out of school, Zhang Ziyun pestered him like a dog.

Zhang Ziyun opened his eyes wide like a bitter widow and said unhappily, “Old Huang, we have been friends for so many years. If you don’t teach me some invincible martial arts today, I won’t let you go.”

Zhang Ziyun grabbed Yan Huang’s hand tightly like an octopus. He looked as though he was chasing Yan Huang.

Yan Huang frowned slightly. He wanted to teach Zhang Ziyun some skills but his potential in cultivation was too low. He hadn’t thought of a way to help Zhang Ziyun yet.

It would be easy for him to just teach Zhang Ziyun a scripture but Zhang Ziyun was an important person to him. He didn’t want him to become a normal cultivator in the future.

Also, when your potential was poorer, you needed to choose your scripture more carefully.

A person with good potential could easily change a new scripture to cultivate when he realized that the current scripture was not suitable for him.

On the other hand, Zhang Ziyun was different. Based on his talent, he needed ten times the amount of time a normal person spent to learn the foundation of a scripture. If he was to realize that the scripture he practiced was not suitable, it would be a torture for him to learn a new scripture again.

The simple version of Strengthening Dan had little effect on Zhang Ziyun. Hence, Yan Huang prepared to impart Zhang Ziyun some skills after he managed to make the real version of the Strengthening Dan.

No matter how weak Zhang Ziyun’s potential was, after using the Strengthening Dan, he would be able to cultivate much easier.

“Do you have any hobbies or talents?” Yan Huang frowned. He decided to understand Zhang Ziyun’s physique first.

“Erm… hobbies?” Zhang Ziyun frowned when he heard this. He said with uncertainty, “my only hobby is drawing…”

“Talisman?” Yan Huang remembered that Zhang Ziyun’s textbooks were filled with doodles. His bed and table in the dormitory were also filled with pictures hanging all around them.

He recalled that Zhang Ziyun’s drawings would always be the top three in class every arts lesson. He had to wear spectacles not because he studied too much, but because he drew too much.

At this moment, a thought flashed passed Yan Huang’s mind. “Do you have a pencil and paper?”

“Yes.” For someone who aspired to be an artist next time, pencil and papers were necessities to him.

Yan Huang looked at his surrounding. There was a small hypermart near the school gates. Some tables and chairs were put out in front. Yan Huang brought Zhang Ziyun to a table and sat down. He took the pencil and drew a talisman on …

Chapter 151: Heaven Engulfing Beast Battle Spirit

Two hundred armor-piercing arrows hurtled through the air, forcing Qin Mu and Qi Shun into immediate action.

“Dark Green Dragon, Dark Dragon Armor!”

“Heaven Engulfing Beast, engulf the heavens!”

Whoosh!

The Dark Green Dragon above Qin Mu’s head suddenly coiled to form a massive shield above all four of them. Dazzling light erupted from the shield, and at its very center, a burst of ripples emanated from the dragon’s head.

The two wyrms beside it also transformed into shields, and they positioned themselves in front of the Dark Green Dragon.

Behind Qi Shun, a projection that was even more massive than the Dark Green Dragon emerged. It was a little like a white tiger, but its body was over a hundred feet in length, and its mouth could open up to swallow a grown man whole.

Within the white tiger’s cavernous mouth, there was what appeared to be a bottomless black hole.

“Roar!”

A powerful burst of suction force suddenly appeared, and almost half of the oncoming arrows were drawn away from their original trajectories as a result.

The remaining half were further away from the white tiger projection, so they weren’t affected as severely, and continued to fly through the air.

Whoosh!

Bam bam!

One hundred armor-piercing arrows fell upon the two smaller wyrm shields. After taking roughly fifty arrows, the two shields disappeared and both Qin Wen and Qin Wu coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

The remaining fifty arrows struck the Dark Green Dragon shield, upon which the latter dimmed significantly. Qin Mu gritted his teeth and continued to inject his Spiritual Energy into his Battle Spirit, One armor-piercing arrow after another fell upon the shield, before then being shattered and pulverized.

“Dammit! His Battle Spirit is too powerful!”

Chu Bixue’s expression changed abruptly. Armor-piercing arrows were very expensive, and they only carried limited quantities. In particular, all of his subordinates only had two second grade armor-piercing arrows each, and if they were to use them on that occasion, they wouldn’t have any left! Furthermore, even if they did use them, it was quite likely that they still wouldn’t be able to take out Qin Mu and Qi Shun.

“Roar!”

The Dark Green Dragon reverted back to its original form before letting loose a thunderous roar. Powerful soundwaves swept through the air, sending a bunch of First and Second Spirit Martial Stage warriors flying, and knocking the bows out of their hands.

“He’s too strong!”

“That’s only to be expected! Both of them are destined to become Earth Martial Stage warriors in the future…”

“There’s no way we can win!”

Morale was at an all-time low.

“B*stard!”

Chu Bixue gritted his teeth with rage. They had expended two hundred armor-piercing arrows, but they weren’t even able to put so much as a graze on their enemies! Furthermore, Qi Shun’s Battle Spirit was able to reverse the hundred armor-piercing arrows it had engulfed, killing Chu Qingshuang and …

Chapter 228: Expanding Once Again!

“Rumble……!’

The aura on his body had entirely become quiet. Around Su Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, a whiff of aura that was many times stronger than before emitted out and spread from within his body as though awakening, bringing along a trace of immense and mighty with an air of destruction permeated.

“Crack……”

Suddenly, both of his eyes opened. In his eyes, two blinding glow that seemed as though real, shot out at the same time.

Only, the glow flashed and past before his eyes and then gradually subsided into the firmed and brooding eyes.

“Yuan Xuan Realm Sixth Grade!”

When he first felt the inside of his body and the transformation, Su Yi’s face gradually flushed with shocked and had a little hard time coming back to his senses.

However, his shock was not entirely because he had now reached the cultivation of the Yuan Xuan Realm Sixth Grade.

After he cut off from breaking through continuously, he was already around the peak of Yuan Xuan Realm Sixth Grade. Instead, because of Su Yi’s tremendous perseverance as he kept forcefully compressed the Yuan Qi in his body and aura, his cultivation was suppressed and suspended at the early stages of the Yuan Xuan Realm Sixth Grade in the end.

Only, as he had continuously broken through from the initially later stages of Yuan Xuan Realm Second Grade until the Yuan Xuan Realm Sixth Grade now, how could Su Yi not be shocked from continually breaking through four grades?

The higher the cultivation, the harder it was to breakthrough.

Back then, when he had drunk the Spiritual Essence for the first time, he had only broken through from the Yuan Soul Realm Third Grade to the Yuan Soul Realm Sixth Grade, continually breaking through for three grades.

But, that was only at the Yuan Soul Realm.

And right now, Su Yi had broken through from the Yuan Xuan Realm Second Grade to the Yuan Xuan Realm Sixth Grade.

Just based on breaking through from the Yuan Xuan Realm Second Grade to the Yuan Xuan Realm Third Grade only, the span between them was not something that the Yuan Soul Realm could compare.

Su Yi was even more shocked that although he had continuously broken through four grades, he could still feel that there was surging energy from the demonic core inside his body that was unrefined.

The energy from the demonic core seeped within his bones, muscles, and all of his limbs inside his body, as though it could charge out and erupt at any time.

Only, at the moment, the energy had now seeped into his body. Even though it was still extremely massive, it no longer surged as if it got forcefully suppressed by Su Yi.

Su Yi felt that the amount of the massive energy from the demonic core, that was refined by him was not even …

Chapter 8 – A Strong Enemy Arrives!

“Thank God for blessing the Xia family with a beast trainer! In this empire, there are hardly any trainers. All trainers are important to the empire. If the regent knew about this, he would protect the Xia family without a doubt and train Kun’er well.

“Then, even if Baiyun Mountain’s Mu Yun came here personally, the Xia family would be spared under the regent’s wings!”

Hearing Xia Kuangyun, Xia Fukun raised an eyebrow.

An idea crossed his mind.

Since trainers are important to the empire…

Then I’ll be able to get any beast I want from the regent! When I create a beast in the Supreme Realm, I won’t have to fear the Baiyun Mountain Sect anymore since I will also be in the Supreme Realm by then!’

“Father, I think we should treat Elder Brother’s injury first, right?”

…

The sun had gone to rest, the moon taking its place as darkness began to take over the Yaslan Empire.

In the capital of the Yaslan Empire:

“So, how was it?”

The regent raised his head slowly, eyes fixed to the silhouette in front of him.

“Master, the activities on Baiyun Mountain were due to Mu Yun. His grandson, Mu Bai, was killed.”

“Oh? By who?” The regent rubbed his chin.

“Summer City’s mayor Xia Kuangyun’s son.”

“Summer City?”

The regent looked up. He was stunned by the answer.

He was expecting the culprit to be an extraordinary martial artist or someone who had powerful forces supporting him, thus not fearing offending the Baiyun Mountain Sect, but Summer City…

Obscurity would be the word to describe Summer City.

Xia Kuangyun isn’t powerful, and they do not have powerful forces backing them up, so what makes Xia Kuangyun so daring? Is he mad?

“Master, the Xia family might be somewhat rash, but your servant understands why they are fearless.”

The regent raised his eyebrows.

“Hurry and spill the beans,” the regent said, slightly annoyed by the suspension.

“After my trip to Baiyun Mountain, your servant was similarly confused by Xia Kuangyun’s action, thus I made my way there.”

“Oh?”

With Shadow’s ability, it would’ve taken him about half a day to go to and return from Baiyun Mountain. The regent had been waiting for Shadow’s return since noontime, but he did not return until night, making the regent worry about his safety since he did not expect Shadow to make a trip to Summer City.

“There’s something odd about the Xia family?”

“Yes.” Shadow nodded.

“Your servant only learned this after making the trip down to Summer City. They have a beast trainer in their family; Xia Kuangyun’s younger son, Xia Fukun.”

“What?”

A beast trainer!?

The regent shot up, his eyes and mouth wide open in an expression of stunned surprise.

There were hardly any trainers in the Yaslan Empire and only a handful of unknown ones despite the Yaslan Empire having tens of millions of citizens.…

Chapter 7 – Kill!

“Hold on!”

A figure flashed past, standing in front of Xia Fukun.

He had white hair, and he was looking at Xia Fukun with a smile on his wrinkled face. Seeing the familiar face, Xia Fukun commanded the Super Strength Ape to stop its actions.

“Master Ni Gu, what are you doing here?”

Xia Fukun raised an eyebrow.

Where was the Red Maple Chamber of Commerce when we got into trouble? Only coming out to save Mu Bai’s life, huh? One with the Baiyun Mountain Sect, I see.

“Young Master Kun, this old man hopes to plead for Young Master Mu Bai’s life. I hope you will spare his life.”

Ni Gu smiled bitterly.

He was currently trembling in fear in front of the Super Strength Ape, but this was the last resort. If the Xia family were to be wiped out, the Red Maple Chamber of Commerce would not be affected. However, if Mu Bai were to die in Summer City, Mu Yun would turn Summer City upside down. Ni Gu wasn’t able to bear the responsibility of losing the Red Maple Chamber of Commerce division in Summer City.

Hearing Ni Gu, Mu Bai was no longer shaking with fear.

He even stared at Xia Fukun with a smirk plastered on his face.

Xia Fukun stared at Mu Bai in disdain.

Did I say I was going to let go of you?

Xia Fukun turned toward Xia Kuangyun. Xia Fukun was certain that, as Summer City’s mayor, Xia Kuangyun would know what to do best.

“We are already considered the Baiyun Mountain Sect’s enemy. Kun’er, do what you think is right,” Xia Kuangyun said calmly.

“Okay.” Xia Fukun nodded.

The Super Strength Ape let out a growl and glared at Mu Bai in its hand.

“Young Master Kun!” Ni Gu’s jaw dropped open. He never dreamed that Xia Fukun would ignore his pleading.

He was not from the Baiyun Mountain Sect though, so Ni Gu did not risk his life to save Mu Bai.

As soon as he heard the ape’s growl, Ni Gu scattered away at the speed of lightning.

Before Mu Bai could even wipe the smirk off his face, he felt a strong force pressing down on his body.

“You…!”

This was Mu Bai’s last word. He must have been quite shocked that his life would still end here despite having someone plea for his life.

“Since when did I say I was going to let go of you?”

Xia Fukun sneered as he watched Mu Bai’s organs drop to the ground. Blood splattered all across the mayor’s residence, tainting the walls and ground red.

Master Ni Gu, who was still watching from the side, walked up to Xia Fukun while wiping the blood off his face.

“Young Master Kun, you’re too rash! You killed Mu Yun – the Baiyun Mountain Sect’s leader’s – grandson. He will massacre Summer City!”

Xia Fukun took a glance at …

Chapter 6 – The Super Strength Ape Shows its Power!

“Super Strength Ape!”

Xia Fukun’s holler reverberated throughout the mayor’s residence like a clap of thunder.

A bot of jagged lighting shot across the sky above the mayor’s residence.

Within no time, darkness engulfed the sky. A giant silhouette about four meters tall dropped from the sky, shaking the ground as it landed.

“What the hell?”

All that were present were bewildered.

Xia Kuangyun, Mu Bai, and the other Baiyun Mountain Sect disciples were familiar with a huge scope of beast species, but this was something they had never seen.

The Super Strength Ape towering above them stretched out its long arms that were about three meters long.

Its huge eyes that were like red rubies shone as it eyed the men standing right beneath it. It even had two patches of weird golden fur sitting on its shoulders.

“What’s this?” Mu Bai shuddered.

“Is it a beast?”

Mu Bai rolled his eyes. Have you ever seen a beast drop from the sky? But… there’s clearly one right in front of me!

“This beast… it should be a fourth-grade beast….”

Ling Fei, who was still fighting with Xia Kuangyun, retreated back to Mu Bai.

A fourth-grade beast was equivalent to a Profound Realm martial artist who was about to break through to the Warrior Realm.

This was not something that they could handle!

“Is this the guardian beast of the Xia family?”

The Baiyun Mountain Sect disciples were utterly confused.

Of course, not only were they confused, but the Xia family members were dumbfounded too.

“Kun’er… this…”

Xia Kuangyun heard Xia Fukun’s roar before this gigantic ape appeared in front of him out of nowhere.

Thus, he assumed that Xia Fukun would know a tad bit about this situation.

“This is my pet.”

Xia Fukun could not take his eyes off the Super Strength Ape. He was so happy with the product.

The Monster Refining System actually works!

And this Super Strength Ape is so… dope!

“Pet?”

Hearing Xia Fukun’s words, Xia Kuangyun was flabbergasted.

Which means that this gigantic ape in front of me isn’t an ordinary beast!

Only a beast that had been tamed by a trainer would be known as a pet.

In the Yaslan Empire, or more accurately, the Nine Spiritual Mainland, martial artist was the most common occupation.

However, it was not the only occupation.

Other than martial artists, pharmacologists and beast trainers were also occupations that people of the Nine Spiritual Mainland could take up.

Beast trainer was a mysterious occupation. They had a higher status in society and were more respectable in comparison to pharmacologists.

There weren’t more than ten beast trainers in the entire Yaslan Empire!

So if Kun’er says that this gigantic ape is his pet, does that mean that he’s a beast trainer?

Due to the mysterious nature of most beast trainers, nobody, even the Baiyun Mountain Sect, dared to offend a beast trainer …

Chapter 5 – Successful Refinement

Right outside the mayor’s residence, Xia Kuangyun stared at the trio standing in front of him.

In front of them stood a teenager in white. He was none other than Mu Bai, the teenager Xia Kuangyun injured yesterday.

“Haha, Mayor Xia must not have expected to see me this soon, right?”

Hearing Mu Bai, Xia Kuangyun snickered.

“Of course, how I wished to never see you again.”

Hearing Xia Kuangyun, Mu Bai’s face fell.

“I mentioned yesterday that the Xia family is nothing to us, Baiyun Mountain, but since you were unwilling to take my words seriously, you have brought about your doom!

“However, we, the Baiyun Mountain Sect, aren’t that evil. If you’re willing to hand over the Flame Bear you snatched away from my hands and make me the mayor of Summer City, I’ll close an eye to this.”

Hearing Mu Bai, Xia Kuangyun furrowed his brows.

So, he’s interested in my Summer City, huh? The Baiyun Mountain Sect is ambitious.

“Summer City’s Mayor Seal is in my pockets. Get it if you can. I’m curious how good Baiyun Mountain’s people are.”

Xia Kuangyun sneered. A current of force started to wrap around his body.

As Summer City’s mayor, despite only being in the Profound Realm, Xia Kuangyun had talent above an ordinary Profound Realm martial artist.

Feeling Xia Kuangyun’s force, the trio that Mu Bai brought along sneered.

They got into position and emitted force similar to Xia Kuangyun’s, pressing down on him

“Xia Kuangyun, our sect is willing to let you live due to your contributions to Summer City, but if you remain stubborn, then you only have yourself to blame for your death! A Profound Realm martial artist like you is nothing but a piece of trash to our sect leader!”

Before Xia Kuangyun could answer the elite that Mu Bai brought along, two figures appeared next to Xia Kuangyun.

“If Mu Yun is that great, why is he not here himself?”

Seeing the figure, Xia Kuangyun was stunned.

“Why are you here, Kun’er!?”

He soon saw Xia Fuqian as well after yelling at Xia Fukun.

“Qian’er, you’re the elder brother! You’re supposed to act responsibly! What on earth is this?”

Xia Kuangyun felt dizzy. He planned to buy time for his sons to escape to Odin Academy, where they would be safe. But now, it seemed like his plans were ruined.

Xia Fuqian pursed his lips. What can I say? I wasn’t hoping for this incident to take place either!

“You’re the second young master of the Xia family, right? The Flame Bear is with you, right? I’ll spare your life as long as you hand it over,” Mu Bai said, smiling widely at Xia Fukun.

“I don’t think you would like it now. I already had it for dinner.”

“What?”

Mu Bai stared at Xia Fukun, unable to believe his ears.

“Are you retarded!? The Xia family spent so much on a …

Chapter 4 – Revenge of the Baiyun Mountain Sect

Within the blink of an eye, Mu Bai was nowhere to be seen.

He left without a trace, making Xia Fukun think that he was dreaming about seeing him for a second.

He might’ve still thought that if not for the pool of blood on the ground.

Xia Fukun turned to look at Xia Kuangyun, who had a grim expression on his face ever since he heard Mu Bai’s name.

Mu Bai, Mu Yun…

Both of them have the same surname. Could he be the direct disciple of the Baiyun Mountain Sect? Or the Sect Leader, Mu Yun’s, descendant?

Xia Kuangyun shook his thoughts away. There’s no point crying over spilt milk. The Baiyun Mountain Sect might be strong, but what can they do? Slaughter Summer City?

“Mayor Xia, you’re too impulsive!”

Master Ni Gu came up to Xia Kuangyun, sighing.

“That teenager that left is Mu Yun’s grandson!”

“Haish…”

Xia Kuangyun took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He turned to Xia Fukun, who was on his right, plastering a smile on his face.

“No matter who he is, this is Summer City, not a place where he can act as he likes.”

Hearing Xia Kuangyun, Master Ni Gu smiled bitterly and left. He had already rendered all the help he could. The future of the Xia family lay in Xia Kuangyun’s hands now.

Everything else went smoothly afterward. Due to the huge crowd that was present, Xia Fukun did not put the Flame Bear into the Monster Refining System immediately. He called for the guards to bring it to him as usual.

“Kun’er, I’ll get someone to send it to you. You should go back and take a rest.”

Xiang Kuangyun spoke to him normally, as if nothing had happened, but Xia Fukun was aware of the storm that was brewing.

He nodded and gave Xia Kuangyun an innocent smile as if he was ignorant of the situation. He crept to the mayor’s residence after Xia Kuangyun had gone back.

He could hear Xia Fuqian’s voice travelling from the mayor’s residence.

“Father, what’s wrong? Why did you call me over in such a hurry?”

Xia Fuqian was confused by Xia Kuangyun’s action. He could not understand why his father had called him over in such a hurry as soon as he returned from the auction with his younger brother.

“I have registered you and Kun’er into Odin Academy, a college that’s next to the Yaslan Empire. School’s going to start soon, so start packing and get ready to leave with Kun’er within the next two days.”

“Huh?”

Xia Fuqian raised an eyebrow.

“Father, did something happen at the auction today?”

“Of course not, what could have happened? I just realized that Kun’er’s been acting more cheerful recently, so I hope that he can learn new things and improve. Odin Academy is no weaker than the Yaslan Empire. It will be a good …
