Seeing the dagger getting closer and closer to his chest, a smile flashed across the middle-aged man's pale face.

"Be patient and kill with one blow. This is the foundation of a killer."

This was a famous saying circulated within [Shadow]. The middle-aged man had already thought about it, and when the young man in front of him fell down with pain and shock, he would coldly throw this sentence away to him.

That scene must be quite handsome.

pity...

He will never have the chance to see this scene in his life.

Ji Xuan in front of him disappeared.

The middle-aged man's last blow struck the air.

He was slightly startled.

The world in his eyes suddenly spun, and then... turned completely upside down.

In the guest room, the ceiling is at the bottom and the floor is at the top.

Outside the window, the sky is below and the whole city hangs upside down above.

What's going on?

The doubts in the middle-aged man's eyes had just emerged, as if he had realized something, and the doubts in his eyes were replaced by unprecedented panic, which became his last expression in this world.

Same as the other seven.

With a plop, his head fell to the ground and fell at Ji Xuan's feet.

"Stupid." Just like trampling an ant to death, Ji Xuan looked at the head on the ground without any fluctuation in his eyes.

In front of him, a headless corpse was kneeling on the ground, spraying bright red blood upwards.

On the middle finger of his right hand, he wore a silver armor, slowly dripping with blood.

Just now, it was this slender and sharp weapon that removed the head of the man codenamed "Blood Eagle".

"Although I am not accompanied by a beautiful woman..."

Looking at the city outside the window where the lights were on, Ji Xuan shrugged and smiled slightly.

"It's not bad with eight good heads."

The slightly brisk voice echoed in the room, but it seemed...

The whisper of death.

...

September 15, 4885 in the Chinese calendar, Canghai International Airport.

A passenger plane landed slowly on the tarmac.

The cabin door opened, and the passengers descended the gangway one after another. At the moment they set foot on this land, longing, joy, emotion...all kinds of emotions appeared on their faces.

"The weather is so nice."

A young man walked out of the hatch, raised his head and looked at the clear blue sky in the distance, and said with emotion.

This young man has a handsome face, and there is a heroic spirit between his brows. His dark eyes are as deep as the night sky and full of aura, making him look full of energy, like the rising sun.

Behind the young man was a tall old man with a white beard and a kind smile. He carried a weapon wrapped in burlap on his back. It was hard to tell whether it was a sword or something else, but it was very conspicuous.

Hearing the young man's sigh, the old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The weather in Canghai City has always been like this."

"oh?"

The young man turned to look at the old man and asked with interest: "Grandpa Jin, have you been here before?"

The old man, whom the boy called Grandpa Jin, nodded, glanced at the sky, and said with emotion, "When I was young, I liked to travel around. I also took care of Canghai City for a while."

"How long is a while?"

"Um...I think it will take two or three years."

"Two or three years..." the young man said in a long voice, with evil intentions, "Does Grandpa Jin have an old sweetheart here?"

The old man's mouth twitched when he heard this, with a wry smile on his face, "Master, don't bury me."

"Don't worry, I won't tell Grandma Hua." The young man patted his chest with an expression like "Don't worry, I have the strictest mouth."

The old man broke into a cold sweat and immediately changed the subject: "Master, where are you going next? Do you want to see Master Mu first?"

"Don't worry," the young man shook his head, "Anyway, it won't be long before I can meet my senior brother."

The old man said helplessly: "Master, you and Master Mu are not brothers."

The young man said confidently: "My swordsmanship was taught by Mu Ziqing, so naturally I have to respect him as my senior brother."

"That should be master and apprentice..." the old man muttered.

"I don't care, Mu Ziqing is my senior brother anyway!" Putting these words aside, the young man walked straight forward.

"Oh... As long as the young master is happy." The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, and quickly followed.

"That's right, Master."

"Um?"

"You haven't practiced yet today."

"Grandpa Jin."

"Um?"

"Don't mention these spoiling things when you're out!"

"..."

"Master, it's because you are always lazy that you were pulled away from Master Mu and Miss Li."

"Just pull it away, I don't care."

"That's not possible. Master, as a member of the Genius List, how can you be beaten by other people on the list..."

"Stop it! Stop it, don't mention that shitty list to me, I'll get angry if you mention it!"

"Master, that is the list of geniuses. I don't know how many people are trying to get on it."

"I don't care! Anyway, since I was on this list, people squat at my door every day and say they want to challenge me. It's really annoying! And I still don't understand why the Stars Association put me on that list.

List, rubbish list, rubbish star meeting!”

"Young Master, the Star Club is one of the seven..."

"I don't care! I don't care! I don't care!"

The young man shouted loudly and quickened his pace.

Seeing his young master's angry look, the old man's lips curved into a doting and proud smile.

Young Master, the reason why you are on the list is because you are a genius.

Unique in the world...

What a genius.

...

Outside Canghai City, Jinghu Lake.

Jinghu is the largest lake around Canghai City. Because the lake surface is always calm and there is no water foam on the lakeside, and it looks like a huge piece of glass, people named it Jinghu.

Mirror Lake is surrounded by lush forests. Compared with the calm lake surface, the forest can be said to be very lively.

There are dozens of monsters in the woods, with monster powers ranging from 100 to 500. It is naturally a good place for high school students in Canghai City to hone their martial arts.

Unlike Langxiao Slope, which is sparsely populated, it is crowded here and you can often see people in groups. Along the way, Chu Qing has seen many students from major high schools.

Among them, of course, are students from Tianlan High School.

At this time, senior high school students are racing against time to improve their source points, so almost all the students who appear here are first and second grade students.

However, everyone in Tianlan High School knows that Chu Qing, the leader with the highest origin value, so when they saw Chu Qing appear here, they naturally became enthusiastic and admired as fans.

"I'll blanch Brother Qing, he'll be alive!!"

"Brother Qing is here for an outing~ My little sister is also on her own~"

"Brother Qing, sign your name for me, yes, just sign it on my head."

Finally, Chu Qing was able to pull himself out from the crowd of cute fans, and quickly slid down the hillside to escape.

"This is too scary..." Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Chu Qing quickened his pace and rushed towards his destination.

It has been exactly two weeks since the last fight to the death at Langxiao Slope.

Today's Chu Qing's source value has reached...937!

"Found it!"

Pushing aside a piece of grass in front of him, Chu Qing finally found his first target.
