Legend Points +1

"You damned bastard, what are you doing? Stop!"

The creature that spoke was extremely similar in appearance to Earth humans, except for an extra vertical pupil in the center of its forehead.

The being stood about 1.95 meters tall, with muscles like coiled ropes. It wielded a trident and wore black beast-shaped armor, giving off a ferociously powerful aura.

This person seemed to have high prestige on the Dou Lan Continent. The originally panicked travelers quickly calmed down upon seeing him, adopting an attitude of fearlessness. They treated Zhou Zhe as if he were a monkey in a zoo, even taking the time to comment.

"It's Marquis Lie Wu!"

"Shouldn't His Highness be suppressing those barbarians in the north right now?"

"Your news is outdated! The Imperial Daily reported that Marquis Xian Wu annihilated six hundred thousand Kunlun Slaves and White Apes half a month ago, using slaves to control slaves, completely pacifying the Western Regions. He has recently taken command of the northern legions."

"As for Marquis Lie Wu… His Highness the First Prince needs a helper, someone who can assist him in higher-level Cosmic Arena Combat. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I'm a scholar of White Dragon Academy, you can't look down on me like that!"

"Indeed! The Empire is advancing rapidly now, with an information explosion! Those scholars who are stuck in their ways and can't keep up with His Highness the First Prince have all had their 'scholar' status stripped away!"

"It looks like the Empire is going to have another live alien in their zoo..."

"It's said that Marquis Lie Wu received guidance from His Highness the First Prince. Although he hasn't been selected as a Cosmic Gladiator yet, he can easily defeat most Black Iron level beings!"

"Marquis! Cripple this Earthling! Let him know that the Dou Lan Continent isn't a place where just any cat or dog can come and act presumptuously!"

Zhou Zhe ignored the comments from the surrounding passersby.

He suddenly turned sideways, his handsome brows and eyes filled with an unyielding, heavy ferocity.

"You asked… what I was doing?"

Zhou Zhe's gaze was indifferent, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his distinct jawline trembling slightly, forming a sinister, strange smile.

He held Lin Ye's corpse steady with his right hand, and slowly raised his left hand: "Doing what I… should be doing!"

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…

An invisible cutting wind!

A fire like a red lotus, as if to burn all eight directions!

Lightning, as violent as a raging dragon!

Crimson, gold, and blue light intertwined, crossing dozens of meters in an instant, descending upon the opponent.

"This is!"

The three-eyed strongman in black beast armor's pupils contracted to pinpricks. His third eye instantly turned blood red. He barely managed to raise his trident, black mist swirling around him as he attempted to block.

However, this was destined to be a futile and useless death throe.

Crack, crack, crack…

After a series of bone-chilling sounds, the black mist dissipated.

The three-eyed strongman, along with his trident and beast armor, was completely crushed into dregs and vanished into the wind.

Not a single trace of his remains was left!

After doing this, Zhou Zhe's gloomy mood brightened considerably.

He scanned his surroundings with a cold expression.

Hundreds of Dou Lan Continent natives, upon witnessing this scene, were so terrified they dared not make a sound, wanting to flee immediately.

But…

The invisible aura emanating from Zhou Zhe made their legs tremble. Not only could they not run, but even standing still was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"Objectively speaking, I don't have much of a grudge against the people of your Dou Lan Continent."

Zhou Zhe said in a stiff tone, "After all, my mentor died in the Cosmic Arena."

"His body was your spoils of war, and you had the right to dispose of it."

"But…"

Humans are not made of grass and wood; how can they be without feeling?

The moment he saw his mentor Lin Ye's body being displayed as an exhibit, emotion had completely overwhelmed reason.

"I am going to destroy this place."

Saying this, Zhou Zhe drew his straight-bladed Tang Dao from the sheath at his waist and unleashed three slashes into the empty space ahead.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Wind blades streaked through the air.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Imperial Museum shattered and collapsed, dust flying everywhere, becoming nothing but history.

"When your First Prince returns, please tell him something for me…"

"If you want revenge, I, Zhou Zhe, will be waiting anytime!"

Because the Imperial Museum collapsed, how many Dou Lan natives would die, Zhou Zhe...

Didn't care at all.

Although there were some cultural similarities, they weren't Chinese, nor were they even Earthlings.

Zhou Zhe wasn't that altruistic.

Earth, China.

Deep within a secret base of the Supernatural Affairs Department.

A pitch-black spatial rift suddenly appeared.

The next moment, Zhou Zhe emerged from it.

"So efficient!"

Huang Tiankai's gaze fell on Zhou Zhe's back.

Looking at Lin Ye's corpse, his expression was complex, and he said in a wistful tone, "My dear brother Lin Ye had excellent judgment. It was worth taking you as your personal disciple!"

If he were to die on the battlefield one day, and have a disciple willing to brave dangers, crossing vast distances and even multiple star systems to collect his remains, he would die without regret.

Unfortunately, the brats from the Supernatural Affairs Department were all more troublesome than the last.

Dugu Xiu and Jinuo, who were originally quite outstanding, had now become third-generation disciples of the Swift Wind Pavilion. Besides occasionally chatting and bragging with him on the Myriad Heavens Forum, they were rarely seen in person.

Zhou Zhe slowly placed Lin Ye's remains down. "I'm returning to the Swift Wind Pavilion now. Send someone to collect the report on the Essence of Xingtian in half an hour."

Hearing this, Director Huang's expression turned serious. "Alright! You go handle that first!"

"We'll arrange Lin Ye's funeral properly, ensuring a grand send-off!"

Zhou Zhe, however, shook his head and said decisively, "There's no need. Just keep him in cryo-storage."

"As long as I'm alive, one day, I will definitely revive him!"

Huang Tiankai looked enviously at Lin Ye's corpse.

Lemons on the lemon tree, you and I under the lemon tree.

Before today, Huang Tiankai had never imagined that he would one day envy a dead person.

Now, he was truly jealous!

Half an hour later.

On the top floor of the office building newly named "E Fong," located in the Swift Wind Pavilion's industrial zone in the prime area of Zu'an City's city center.

In the office, Zhou Zhe put down his pen, completing the usage report for the Essence of Xingtian.

The mysterious notebook transformed into a stream of light, appearing before his eyes and automatically flipping to a new page.

[Your deeds on the Dou Lan Continent have spread widely, Legend Points +1.]

[Current Legend Points: 1 (From the Dou Lan Continent, destroying the Imperial Museum, instantly killing Marquis Lie Wu)]

[You have obtained a new title - Museum Destroyer!]

[Museum Destroyer - Within a hundred meters, enemy IQ -10%]

The effect of the new title was easy to understand. The effect was simple and crude, yet extremely powerful.

There were many ways to describe it colloquially, like an intelligence-reducing aura or a moron aura.

It just didn't sound as "fresh and clean" as "Museum Destroyer."

As for these "Legend Points"...

What was their use?

Zhou Zhe didn't feel any physical changes in himself.

Could it make him more famous?

Easier to gain social status?

Deter enemies?

But in terms of intangible deterrence, he already had the "Majesty +3" attribute provided by his three apprentices...

"Having more attributes doesn't hurt. I'll find out their use eventually."

Zhou Zhe shook his head, inserted a USB drive into the notebook, and clicked on the only video file within.

This was one of the legacies left by his mentor, Lin Ye.

In the player, Lin Ye looked seriously at the camera and said, "Xiao Zhe, if you're watching this video, it means I've already died in battle."

"Now, listen carefully!"

"I have something important to tell you..."

(Friends on QQ Reading, there's no need to give rewards. The backend on Ran Leng Guang's side occasionally prompts, which might be a program issue. Only the Starting Point APP and the main site can ensure the reminder is received. Your continued reading and recommendation votes make me very happy~! Hmm!)
