Thanks to "Luo Lixi Xuan" for the great recognition.
...
..
Time slowly passed.
20:00.
The Central Lake was already packed with people at night.
Densely packed warriors surrounded the dried-up Central Lake.
Law enforcers were weaving through the crowd, maintaining order.
"Shh.... Do you feel like it's a bit cold tonight?"
"Yeah.. It's not supposed to be winter for another month or so, right?"
"By the way, did they ask you to bring any documents when you came?"
"Documents? Oh, yes, are you talking about the Jiang City Warrior Certificate issued last month? That was introduced by Master Qin, supposedly to provide benefits for local warriors."
"Haha! Master Qin is indeed impressive!"
In the crowd.
Lu Hongshen stood with his hands behind his back, his robe fluttering without wind.
Beside him were the same grandfather and granddaughter.
The old man looked around the crowd and sighed, shaking his head: "I thought we were the first to get the news."
"But who would have thought... everyone else knows too?"
The granddaughter, with her hands on her hips, said helplessly: "Grandpa, this is bad. With the ancient ruins appearing and so many people here, can we even get a share of the opportunity?"
"Besides..."
She glanced at the law enforcers in white uniforms and complained: "Why are there even Alliance people here? Judging by their posture, are they planning to seal off the site and take everything for themselves?"
"Hard to say, Jiang City's situation is quite complicated."
"There are also rumors about Su Muwan and Qin Luo, but I don't see either of them here."
Lu Hongshen listened to the complaints of the grandfather and granddaughter.
He smiled slightly and said indifferently: "No need to worry."
"Even if the ruins appear, not everyone is qualified to compete for this opportunity."
As he spoke, his expression turned arrogant: "In the world of warriors, the strong prey on the weak. Moreover..."
"With me here, no one can compete for this opportunity without my permission!"
His words were filled with confidence and dominance.
The granddaughter was stunned.
Thump-thump!
She covered her chest, staring blankly at Lu Hongshen.
Why...
Why did I feel such an overwhelming sense of dominance when he said that?
Her face turned red, and she hid behind her grandfather, whispering: "Grandpa, Lu Hongshen seems quite powerful."
Seeing this, the old man chuckled.
His granddaughter, who was usually so proud, was now admiring someone her own age?
If the two of them were to be together...
Then reviving the glory of our XuanYuan Clan wouldn't just be a dream!
Lu Hongshen also noticed the change in their attitude towards him.
He sneered inwardly.
In the Xuantian Realm, the battles for opportunities he had experienced were far more brutal than this.
And yet, some of the people here had only just become warriors.
How ridiculous it was to see such a scene before him!
It was as if they were lining up for free eggs like old ladies.
Just as he thought this.
Buzz—!!
A beam of white light suddenly shot out from the hollow in the Central Lake, illuminating the entire area in an instant.
The white light formed a massive pillar, piercing through the clouds and merging with the sky.
"What's that!"
"Is the ancient ruins about to appear?"
"Wow!! So the stuff in novels is actually real!"
The people on the scene stepped back, their eyes drawn to the sudden change.
Lu Hongshen also looked up, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
The ancient ruins are about to appear!
My current strength is at the half-step Domain level, which might not be much in the Xuantian Realm.
But... in this world, I'm practically a god!
The greatest opportunity belongs to me alone!
As the white light surged, the lakebed began to shake violently, and the massive hollow expanded at a visible speed.
Mud and rocks from the lakeside slid down, and the entire dried-up lake seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, stretching outward.
In just moments.
Everyone saw the hollow gradually covering the entire Central Lake, like a giant abyss devouring everything in its path.
The white light grew stronger, almost blinding.
Boom!!
At that moment, the shaking reached its peak, and the white light suddenly dimmed.
Then, a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from the hollow, spreading out like a tidal wave.
The spiritual energy in the surrounding area skyrocketed.
Everyone felt their cells screaming with excitement!
Lu Hongshen felt the spiritual energy washing over his body.
He clenched his fist, thinking: It's here, the same feeling I had in the Xuantian Realm is back!
The revival of spiritual energy, and I just happened to arrive at the perfect time!
The next second.
To everyone's shock.
Boom!!
Majestic buildings slowly rose from the massive hollow, with grand halls, solemn stone carvings, and stone slabs covered in ancient runes glowing in the light.
The ancient altar stood tall once more, and the massive statue at its center seemed to come to life.
The appearance of the ruins seemed to bridge the gap of thousands of years, connecting the glory of the past with the present.
"Wow!!"
"The ancient ruins?!"
"It's really here!"
"Holy crap! Did Jiang City have something like this before?"
Everyone present was awestruck by the sight, feeling a sense of reverence they couldn't put into words.
Wang Gang stood closest to the ruins, looking up in awe at the majestic structures.
He muttered to himself: "To think I'd see something like this in my lifetime..."
Of course...
The main question was...
What are we going to do with this now?
The grandfather and granddaughter of the XuanYuan Clan were equally excited: "The ancient ruins... have appeared!"
The granddaughter pointed excitedly at the entrance of the ruins: "Grandpa! Look at that stone!"
The old man looked over and saw a stone tablet standing in front of the entrance.
On it was carved:
"Xuanyuan Sect."
"Xuanyuan Sect."
Lu Hongshen read it softly, then smiled: "It seems to be the predecessor of your XuanYuan Clan."
"That's right."
The old man took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement. He cupped his hands towards Lu Hongshen and said: "Young... no, Mr. Lu, we only want the ancient inheritance of the Xuanyuan Sect's leader. We don't need any other treasures."
"If possible, the XuanYuan Clan will be your most loyal ally!"
As if afraid Lu Hongshen might misunderstand, the old man added: "The ancient inheritance of the Xuanyuan Sect is only passed down to direct descendants, so Mr. Lu..."
"No problem."
Lu Hongshen waved his hand indifferently: "I have no interest in this so-called ancient inheritance. You can have it."
"Alright... It's time to go in."
With that, he stood with his hands behind his back, lightly tapping the ground with his toes and floating up. His voice, calm and steady, reached everyone's ears:
"The opportunity has appeared. After I take what I want, you may enter."
He pointed towards the ruins.
In an instant.
A magical barrier enveloped the ruins, preventing anyone from entering.
Then he pointed at the grandfather and granddaughter.
The two were immediately wrapped in the barrier and lifted into the air.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone and the admiring eyes of the grandfather and granddaughter.
Lu Hongshen flew towards the ruins with them.
He thought indifferently: Just as I expected.
Even though the ruins have appeared.
Whether you have the qualifications to compete for the opportunity depends on your own strength.
As for Su Muwan and Qin Luo.
It's a pity they didn't show up, or I would have liked to see what they're capable of.
However, just as he thought this.
A sharp voice suddenly exploded in Lu Hongshen's ears.
"Trying to enter the ruins without showing your documents?"
"Seeking death!!"
With those words.
A shadow flashed across the sky.
Slap!!!
"!!!"
Lu Hongshen's breath caught, and his body froze mid-air.
Then, like a broken kite, he plummeted straight to the ground.
Boom!
Dust filled the air as Lu Hongshen crashed hard onto the ground, his face swollen.
He stared blankly at the ancient ruins just a step away.
What... just happened?
Ouch...
Only when the pain in his cheek spread through his body did Lu Hongshen finally react.
He covered his cheek, his lips pale, his pupils shaking.
What...
I... was hit?

Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
