Wang Xu was in the fully enclosed suspended car, unable to see the scene outside, not knowing where they were taking him. He simply decided to ignore it and immediately closed his eyes, starting to cultivate.
The few Genetic Warriors responsible for guarding Wang Xu saw him calmly cultivating under such circumstances and all shook their heads. Just like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers; let's see if you can stay calm in a while.
About half an hour later, the suspended car stopped. Wang Xu opened his eyes and was pushed out of the car, wearing shackles made of special materials.
The car stopped in front of an abandoned, dilapidated building, and several people took Wang Xu inside.
After walking just a few steps, Wang Xu saw the bald man from before and a middle-aged man beside him.
This person bore a seven-part resemblance to Xu Yuan. With just one glance, Wang Xu understood instantly.
His heart sank. He didn't expect Xu Group's actions to be so swift. He had only been to the dean's room, and it had been less than an hour, yet Xu had already received the news and taken action. It was incredibly fast.
"Damn bastard, you are Wang Xu!" Xu Tianqing's eyes were red, filled with a murderous intent.
He had already seen Xu Yuan's corpse. The neck was almost completely severed, with an unwilling expression in the eyes, causing Xu Tianqing intense pain in his heart.
The Xu Clan had only one heir, and Xu Yuan had been pampered since childhood. Who would've thought he would be killed during a trial!
Xu Tianqing was furious beyond restraint. No matter what, he wanted to kill the enemy with his own hands!
"Boss Xu, I've brought the person. Where's the money?" the bald man said.
Xu Tianqing took out a Golden Card: "There's three million Earth Coins in it. Consider the extra one million as refreshments money for your brothers."
The bald man licked his lips, looking at Xu Tianqing appreciatively. This guy knew how to deal with people.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Wang Xu suddenly spoke.
His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, with a determined gaze fixed on Xu Tianqing.
Xu Tianqing seemed to hear the biggest joke in the world: "Your life is already in my hands. Just obediently wait for death!"
"Taking action against a Tier Four Elite student, unless you have government permission, if the government learns of this, not even the Xu Group might be able to bear the consequences." Wang Xu continued.
Every Tier Four Elite student is a human elite, possessing special privileges. To deal with a Tier Four Elite student, government approval is necessary, otherwise, it would be considered treason, punishable by severe punishment!
Xu's Seventh Safe Zone may have some say, but it doesn't mean the government would change the rules for them. Just like how killing is not allowed in the Protected Area, violating it is an extremely serious crime and must be fully investigated!
"Know? This place is all my people, and you will die here soon. Do you think the government will find out about this?" Xu Tianqing sneered.
"What if I have this?" Wang Xu waved his hand, and a Light Computer Chip suddenly appeared in his hand, which was the Light Computer Chip the dean had given to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu originally planned to go home first and tell his parents the good news before reporting to the Extreme Ancient Hall and then participating in the assessment to get the Elite title and let his parents live in the Protected Area. But he didn't expect Xu Tianqing to act so quickly; he had no choice but to reveal his identity first.
Unlike ordinary communication devices, the Light Computer Chip can perform intelligent voice control. With just a few simple commands, Wang Xu could report the situation here to the virtual network.
Xu Tianqing frowned, glanced at the Light Computer Chip in Wang Xu's hand, and sneered: "Humph! It's just a Light Computer Chip. There are so many in the Xu Group; do you think you can make me let you go with this? Isn't that too naive?"
"Wait!" Suddenly, the bald man exclaimed and walked up to Wang Xu, "Let me see this chip... It's real, it's actually real!"
"Real what?" Xu Tianqing said impatiently.
"Extreme Ancient Hall! This is the Light Computer Chip of the Extreme Ancient Hall!" The bald man looked at it with enthusiasm, shouting.
"What?!" Xu Tianqing was stunned in an instant, as if struck by lightning, his face turning pale.
Extreme Ancient Hall?
How could it be!
The military, Freedom Alliance, and the Extreme Ancient Hall are the three globally recognized major forces.
Extreme Ancient Hall, established by the world's strongest person Luo, spread across all Safe Zones, was a behemoth to Xu Tianqing, a terrifying power that could overthrow the Xu Group with just a breath!
The military and Freedom Alliance are strong because they have the advantage of numbers, but the Extreme Ancient Hall is different. They only recruit people with exceptional talent. Being invited by the Extreme Ancient Hall signifies boundless prospects, thus, the number of people in the Extreme Ancient Hall is far less than the military and Freedom Alliance, but they can rival them in strength.
Xu Tianqing never imagined that Wang Xu, just newly promoted to Tier Four, freshly out of the academy, hadn't even participated in the Elite assessment yet, but had already joined the Extreme Ancient Hall and become a member of it!
"Release him! Quickly release this young friend!" Before Xu Tianqing could recover from the shock, the bald man hurriedly said.
The other people weren't fools either. Upon hearing the words "Extreme Ancient Hall," they shivered. They dared not provoke such a figure and immediately released the shackles on Wang Xu.
"Ma Wu, what are you doing!" Xu Tianqing's face was livid.
Ma Wu threw back the Golden Card Xu Tianqing had given him: "This is the money you gave me, the transaction is canceled! Xu Tianqing, if you want to die, go ahead, but don't drag us down with you!"
The words Extreme Ancient Hall, though light and airy, represent immense power!
Others may not understand the power of the Extreme Ancient Hall, but Ma Wu is very clear. He once followed a team hunting insect beasts outside the Safe Zone, and one member of the team was from the Extreme Ancient Hall.
Later, they had bad luck and encountered a Tier Seven expert. That expert wanted to seize their wealth and killed the person from the Extreme Ancient Hall. Ma Wu narrowly escaped with his life, but the next day, news came that the Tier Seven expert was dead!
From that moment on, Ma Wu knew he could provoke the military or the Freedom Alliance, but he must never provoke someone from the Extreme Ancient Hall!
They are a group of madmen with powerful talents, unmatched strength, and an extremely united, terrifying presence!
"Young brother, I was reckless just now. I acted rashly without inquiring properly. I'm really sorry. This is a little token to calm your nerves." Ma Wu took out a Golden Card, which contained five million Earth Coins, considered half of his fortune.
The situation changed rapidly, and the transformation was so quick that Wang Xu was stunned.
Is the influence of the Extreme Ancient Hall really that great? He merely said he was a member of the Extreme Ancient Hall, and the bald man's attitude made a 180-degree turn. Isn't this a bit too exaggerated!
"Forget it. Since you sincerely apologize, I won't pursue it further." Wang Xu calmed down, accepted the Golden Card from Ma Wu, glanced at Xu Tianqing, and turned to leave.
Xu Tianqing wanted to stop Wang Xu, but Ma Wu blocked his way, saying grimly, "Xu Tianqing, the Xu Clan may be powerful, but don't say I didn't warn you. This guy is not someone you can touch. If you're wise, you'll settle this matter quickly, otherwise…"
After saying this, Ma Wu waved his hand and left the abandoned building with his men.
Only Xu Tianqing and a few of his followers were left standing there dumbfounded. What was that?
...
As soon as he exited the abandoned building, Wang Xu immediately spread his form and quickly left. Though he wasn't worried about someone chasing after him, he couldn't help but be cautious.
"Lucky I chose to join the Extreme Ancient Hall, otherwise my life might have ended here today." Wang Xu felt fortunate. If it weren't for his identity with the Extreme Ancient Hall, the bald man named Ma Wu would not have let him go, let alone give him a Golden Card to apologize.
Initially, from what the Dean said, he thought the Extreme Ancient Hall was the weakest of the three forces, only possessing powerful Ancient Martial Arts, which is why Wang Xu joined.
Unexpectedly, not only was the Extreme Ancient Hall not the weakest, but perhaps it was the strongest force!
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Wang Xu returned home without delay, and as soon as he opened the door, he smelled a strong scent of smoke. Walking in, he saw his father and mother sitting at the table, their faces full of worry.
"Xu'Er, come, sit down." Wang Zhenguo flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said calmly.
"Mom and Dad, you don't look so good today. Did something happen?" Wang Xu asked.
"Xu'Er, tell Mom what kind of trouble you've gotten into." Mother Lin Hui's eyes were red. "Don't worry, no matter what you did, Mom and Dad are on your side."
Wang Xu felt bewildered, but then he had a realization.
"Did someone from the Xu Clan come looking for you?" Wang Xu said, his expression turning unfriendly.
Seeing his parents silent, Wang Xu knew that not only had Xu Tianqing acted against him, but he hadn't spared his parents either!
"I killed Xu Yuan, right in the academy." Wang Xu said flatly.
Instantly, both parents visibly trembled.
"Xu Yuan targeted me, and during the trials, he almost killed me. I didn't want to kill him, but he threatened your lives, so to eliminate future troubles, I killed him." Wang Xu explained, "But don't worry, Mom and Dad, I've already become a Tier Four Genetic Warrior!"
Tier Four?!
Wang Zhenguo's eyes instantly brightened, looking incredulously, "You… you've advanced to Tier Four?"
Mother Lin Hui was also stunned, looking at her son with shock.
Wang Xu nodded seriously.
"Haha…" Wang Zhenguo's somber expression instantly changed as he burst into laughter, tears flowing from his eyes.
"I knew it, my son is a genius and won't disappoint me! Haha…"
Tier Four Elite Warrior!
There's a world of difference, one rank means everything. Once Tier Four, Wang Xu is a human elite, bound to be valued by the World Government, and his future prospects are bright!
In front of Tier Four, what does a small director position matter? Losing it is nothing; my son is now an elite among humans!
Mother Lin Hui was so moved she wanted to cry, holding Wang Xu's hand tightly, repeatedly saying, "Good, good, so good, Xu'Er has finally made it…"
Seeing this scene, Wang Xu felt a pang of emotion in his heart. He could feel his parents' genuine joy, secretly vowing to himself that no matter what, he must guard this hard-earned family bond.
