In a perfect world, you start by relying on your own strength.

Shi Geng strolled through the streets and alleys, listening to the casual conversations of passersby, and gradually figured out the details of this place. It turned out that Chongyun Town was located in the western border of Shi Kingdom and was an important town guarding the frontier.

The Kingdom of Shi, an ancient nation with a long history, boasts a vast territory spanning hundreds of millions of miles, its grandeur boundless. The fiefdoms of the most powerful kings and nobles within the kingdom often house hundreds of millions, or even over a billion, people, their lands stretching as far as the eye can see.

With such a vast territory, the imperial court naturally could not attend to everything. Therefore, it built powerful central towns in the heart of each region to guard and deter others.

Once unrest or turmoil breaks out within its territory, the top experts stationed in the giant city can immediately rush to its aid, swiftly quell the chaos, and firmly safeguard peace in the region.

The streets and alleys were bustling with people, dressed in various styles. There were soldiers patrolling in armor, traveling travelers carrying medicine baskets, and merchants from all over the country. Everywhere, there was the unique atmosphere of a border town and the spirit of the martial arts world.

Shi Geng led Xiao Bai along slowly, his heart filled with countless emotions. In the past, he had lived in the Great Wilderness for a long time, where all he saw were vast forests and ferocious beasts, and his vision was ultimately limited to one place. Now, stepping into the prosperous land of the human race, he truly felt the prosperity and strength of the human civilization in the Great Domain.

The shops along the street sold all kinds of rare spiritual rice, body-tempering ointments, and standard weapons, a dazzling array that left him overwhelmed.

As they strolled along the street, the crowd in front of them suddenly parted to the sides, and the wide street instantly cleared the central passage, leaving only Shigen and Xiaobai standing in place.

Before he could react, a sharp shout pierced the air.

"Where did this brat come from, daring to block my young master's way? Get out of the way at once!"

Shi Geng raised an eyebrow slightly, his feet firmly planted on the ground. Beside him, the unicorn Xiaobai lowered its head, its mane taut, its eyes filled with wariness.

He looked up at the newcomer, his voice calm: "The main road is a place for all to walk on; why block its way?"

Several servants in brocade robes escorted a richly dressed young man as he slowly approached. The young man's face was full of arrogance. His gaze swept over Shi Geng and Xiao Bai, but the moment he caught sight of the unicorn, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "In this Chongyun Town territory, when I walk, others must give way. Boy, I'll let it slide because you're still young. I've taken a fancy to your unicorn. Name your price."

A cold glint flashed in Shi Geng's eyes as he gently stroked Xiao Bai's soft mane. Xiao Bai shook its head in dissatisfaction, letting out a low groan, its four hooves stomping the ground, its aura gradually becoming fierce.

"Not for sale."

His tone was calm, yet carried an unyielding firmness.

The richly dressed youth's face darkened, his smile vanished, and he raised an eyebrow with a cold snort: "In Chongyun Town, no one dares to defy me. Don't push your luck. Hand over the beast obediently, and I might reward you with some silver. Otherwise, you'll regret it today!"

The servants immediately stepped forward, surrounding him menacingly, each one rubbing their hands together, ready to act at their master's command.

Shi Geng ignored him completely, raised his hand to pat Xiao Bai's neck, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the boy's anger surged, and he shouted sharply, "All of you, attack! Take the beast and teach this brat a lesson!"

A group of servants rushed forward in response, their fists and feet whistling as they attacked the two.

Little Whitey raised its head and neighed, its front hooves stomping heavily, a fierce aura suddenly sweeping out, causing the two people at the front to stumble and retreat.

Shi Geng stood motionless, casually deflecting the attack with a single palm. Several servants screamed and flew backward, collapsing to the ground groaning, completely powerless to fight.

The richly dressed youth's face darkened, and he pointed at Shi Geng angrily, saying, "You—you dare to lay a hand on me! Do you know who I am?"

Seeing the commotion, the people along the street began to whisper among themselves, their voices rising and falling in a cacophony of discussion.

"This is terrible. How dare this young man offend the Yu family? He's going to suffer a great loss."

"He looks unfamiliar, so he must be a newcomer. He doesn't even know Young Master Yutian. He'll probably be skinned alive if he doesn't die today."

Upon hearing the rumors, Yu Tian's face immediately lit up with smugness. He raised his chin and sneered, "Did you hear that? If you know what's good for you, immediately offer up the unicorn and kneel down to apologize, and I'll spare you this time!"

Shi Geng curled his lips into a disdainful sneer and uttered two words indifferently: "SB".

Yu Tian's face instantly turned ashen, his anger rising from the sting of these words. As a member of the Yu family, backed by the powerful Yu clan, even the local spirit guarding the town had to show him deference.

If he lets this go after being humiliated in public by a little brat, how will he ever get along with the powerful and influential in his circle again?

His eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, shouting, "Looks like nice words won't work on you! Today I'll show you the consequences of offending me!"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Tian's figure suddenly transformed into a blur, rushing straight towards Shi Heng with a strong wind, revealing that he had already reached the Blood Transformation Realm.

He unleashed a powerful punch with both fists, his moves brutal and ruthless, clearly showing that he was used to bullying others by relying on his cultivation and family background.

Little White immediately raised its head and neighed, its four hooves pounding the ground as it tried to rush forward to block the attack. Shi Geng raised his hand and pressed down on its neck, his steps as steady as a rock, his eyes showing no emotion. Facing the oncoming fist, he neither dodged nor evaded, but simply raised his palm to meet it. Bang!

Fist and palm collided, a muffled thud that shook the surrounding air. Yutian felt a heavy, powerful force surge into his arm, his body went numb and weak, and he staggered backward uncontrollably, his boot soles scraping two shallow grooves into the ground.

The onlookers were all stunned. No one expected that Yutian would be defeated by a boy from out of town. A commotion immediately broke out in the streets and alleys.

"Young Master Yutian was actually defeated? This child looks young, yet his cultivation is so formidable!"

"The people of Yu Mansion hone their physical bodies from childhood. They are all at the Blood Transformation Realm. Ordinary people simply cannot withstand a punch from him. Today, they have met their match."

"This is going to be interesting. Yutian has always been arrogant and has never suffered such a defeat. He probably won't let this go."

Hearing the whispers, Yutian's face turned pale and then red, a mixture of embarrassment and anger.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes fixed on Shi Heng with a sinister gaze. His blood surged within him, and a faint divine light flowed around him. A ferocious silver wolf phantom materialized behind him, its fangs bared and its gleam of ferocity palpable.

"Silver Wolf Treasure Technique!"

He roared, this was a divine power inherited from an ancient species, sharp and fierce, with terrifying tearing power.

The phantom pounced out with his movements, its sharp wolf claws accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as they grabbed at Shi Geng's vital points.

The wolf's claws slashed through the air, the force of the blow causing ripples in the surrounding air. Shi Geng's expression remained unchanged, his qi and blood circulating steadily throughout his body.

Faced with the oncoming technique, he neither dodged nor evaded, but instead slashed out with a single palm, unleashing a powerful and forceful energy from his fist and palm.

With a crisp sound, the silver wolf phantom's claws were forcefully blocked, and the massive beast shadow trembled violently, its light dimming slightly.

Yu Tian felt a tightness in his chest, his blood surging and his steps faltering as he staggered backward. His eyes widened in disbelief; he simply couldn't comprehend how the other party could withstand such a powerful technique with just his physical body. Such formidable physique was utterly inconceivable.

The streets were deathly silent, and the onlookers were all visibly shocked. They secretly marveled at the awe-inspiring feat of using only their physical bodies to withstand a powerful technique; such ability was likely only achievable by the most outstanding talents of top-tier clans.

A mixture of shame, anger, and fear gripped Yu Tian's face, which darkened to the extreme. He gritted his teeth and activated his magic technique once more. The phantom of the silver wolf behind him solidified, carrying a sharp edge, and pounced again.
