When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

As military trucks carrying the people drove through the city gate, which was several meters thick.

The scene before them was a sight to behold for everyone.

If beyond the iron wall lies a perilous abyss of hell.

Within those iron walls lies a dazzling cyber paradise!

bustling!

Unparalleled prosperity!

On the wide main road, the levitation train shuttles like a streak of light.

On the surface of towering skyscrapers, martial arts competitions and information about elixirs are playing.

Abundant spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged forth from the giant spirit-gathering array beneath the city. Even just breathing here was equivalent to several days of arduous cultivation elsewhere.

Everyone on the bus looked out the window at the dazzling scenery, their faces filled with awe.

Even the usually carefree Xiao Xingye was now clinging to the car window, unable to bear blinking.

"That's so cool!"

"Jiangnan City is so luxurious!"

……

One hour later.

The vehicle stopped in front of a magnificent five-star hotel.

Everyone got off the bus one after another.

Before parting, Guan Yuan casually tossed Jiang Feng a metal business card.

"Kid, since you were able to kill that sixth-tier beast, I'll give you a special privilege."

He exhaled a smoke ring, a roguish smile playing on his lips.

"The waters in Jiangnan City are very deep."

"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, call this number."

Jiang Feng steadily accepted the business card. Before he could even thank him, Guan Yuan sneered and added, "But let me make this clear first: my sword doesn't slay the nameless, nor do I do free business."

"The starting appearance fee is one sixth-tier soul crystal, or an equivalent high-grade spiritual material!"

Jiang Feng chuckled, then tucked the business card into his pocket and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Major General!"

"Boom!"

Just as Jiang Feng and the others were getting their luggage.

On the other side of the hotel plaza, more than a dozen military green trucks stopped one after another.

The car door opened, and dozens of handsome young men and women filed out.

These people were none other than the top students from other prefecture-level cities!

They are all undisputed number one in their respective cities!

The moment they gathered together, a sense of tension immediately filled the air.

The group sized each other up, their eyes filled with wariness and fighting spirit!

Meanwhile, two richly dressed teenagers stood at the hotel entrance.

"Tsk, I really don't know what Boss Hai was thinking, sending us to find out the background of these country bumpkins."

A boy with dyed red hair complained impatiently.

"Exactly, what kind of waves can a bunch of country bumpkins from small towns make?"

"When you come to Jiangnan City, whether you're a dragon or a tiger, you have to coil up or lie down!"

Another fat man echoed with a cold laugh.

Seeing Jiang Feng, Xiao Xingye, and the others walk up the steps, the red-haired boy immediately stepped forward and rudely blocked their way.

"Stop right there! Are you blind? All you out-of-towners, line up!"

"Register your information! Besides your name and age, write down your martial arts level and the type of technique you specialize in, everything clearly!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the red-haired boy.

For martial artists, their martial arts realm and secret techniques are life-or-death secrets!

Who would willingly reveal this to a stranger!

Jiang Feng stopped and looked up at the group of lackeys in front of him, saying coldly, "You're not hotel staff, so why are you demanding that we register this information?"

"On what grounds?"

Red Hair seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and was about to lash out when a voice suddenly came from above everyone's heads.

"This Yunhai Hotel is a property of the Hai family!"

Everyone looked up at the same time.

On the open-air corridor on the second floor of the hotel.

A handsome young man in a navy blue suit is leaning against the railing.

He gently swirled a glass of scarlet Romanée-Conti in his hand, looking down at Jiang Feng with an expression as if he were looking at an ant that he could crush with a flick of his wrist.

"If I ask you to register, you have to write it down honestly."

The boy's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sharp, oppressive aura of true energy: "Otherwise, you bunch of country bumpkins can get out of my territory right now!"

"Who the hell are you calling trash?!"

Xiao Xingye instantly flew into a rage.

Lin Xing, Ling Yu, and the others standing to the side also had livid faces and glared angrily.

"Tap tap tap..."

Immediately afterwards, two footsteps sounded.

"Young Master Hai, why bother getting angry with these trash?"

Two figures appeared, one on the left and one on the right, beside the boy in the blue suit.

On the left is a hot girl with dazzling long, wavy blonde hair.

Her gaze as she looked down at the crowd was filled with mockery and disdain, as if she were looking at a group of lowly poor people.

On the right is a wealthy young man who is nearly 1.9 meters tall.

He was wearing a black overcoat and a necklace as thick as a thumb around his neck, exuding an imposing aura.

"Hoshino, don't be impulsive."

Li Changsheng abandoned his usual composure, stepped forward, and placed his hand on Xiao Xingye's shoulder, his tone unusually apprehensive:

"If I'm not mistaken, these three guys should be prodigies on the [Jiangnan Province Prodigy Ranking]!"

"The List of Prodigies of Jiangnan Province?"

Jiang Feng frowned and asked.

"That's right! I heard it's the most prestigious list of geniuses!"

"The blonde woman on the left is ranked eleventh on the provincial prodigy list, Jin Liuli."

"She awakened a special bloodline, possesses formidable strength, and is the only daughter of the Jin family, a powerful conglomerate that monopolizes logistics and shipping in Jiangnan Province!"

"That burly man on the right is Lei Jie, ranked ninth on the provincial prodigy list!"

"This person specializes in physical training and is said to have honed his body to the point of being invulnerable to swords and spears."

"His father is the vice president of the mining guild in Jiangnan Province. His family owns mines, is extremely wealthy and powerful, and has a tyrannical personality!"

Finally, Li Changsheng looked at the young man in the middle holding a glass of red wine.

"As for the one in the middle... Hai Wuyai, who ranked third on the provincial prodigy list!"

"The Hai family behind him is not only a centuries-old martial arts family in Jiangnan City, but also a behemoth that almost monopolizes more than 80% of the elixir market in the entire province!"

Upon hearing Li Changsheng recount these illustrious backgrounds, everyone present gasped in astonishment!

The only daughter of the Kim family, who monopolize shipping?

Vice President of the Mining Guild?

The Hai family, who monopolize the elixir market?

They're all big shots you can't afford to offend!

However, Jiang Feng did not feel fear at all; instead, a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

It's true... you can search high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!

These are all targets to be killed!
