Jiangning City, an oval-shaped building by the river.
Although this building was far smaller in scale than the Star Martial Hall Jianghuai City branch.
It was still an extremely avant-garde architectural complex in Jiangning City, occupying considerable land and boasting fully equipped facilities.
And this was the Star Martial Hall Jiangning Office!
At this moment, a squad of seven people stood clad in black Martial Warrior combat uniforms.
These combat uniforms possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities.
Even Spirit Stream Realm High Stage Martial Warriors would have to expend some effort to tear them apart.
Moreover, every one of them carried weapons, though they were basically cold weapons.
Because spiritual energy had revived, humanity had set off a frenzy of evolution.
The Human Race's physical constitution had undergone a massive leap.
Some high-level Martial Warriors could easily withstand bullets and artillery shells.
There were even rumors that certain powerful Martial Warriors could resist nuclear weapons head-on. Truly terrifying beyond measure!
Not only that, some alloy weapons forged and developed through advanced technology could, when wielded by high-level Martial Warriors, unleash even greater power than firearms!
"Reporting to the captain, First Squad has assembled. Squad leader, Leng Feng!"
The speaker was a stern man with a dark complexion and bluish stubble, carrying a combat saber nearly as tall as himself on his back, radiating a chilly aura.
This man was a Spirit Stream Realm Seventh Grade expert, with a Vitality Value exceeding 1,000.
Today, Captain Wu Xie had been parachuted in, and on his very first day, he had specifically named First Squad to carry out a mission.
"Good. Depart immediately. Destination: Meng Corporation!"
Wu Xie gave the order directly, his expression cold and stern.
"Yes!"
Leng Feng answered loudly.
The oval canopy opened, and a combat vehicle appeared on the platform.
Wu Xie entered the front passenger cabin directly, while Captain Leng Feng led the squad members swiftly into the combat cabin behind.
"Boom, boom."
Flames erupted.
The combat vehicle rose straight into the air, shooting toward Meng Corporation!
"Captain, what are we going there for this time?"
Ordinary Martial Warriors all used cold weapons.
Yet the bald man before them, after taking off his helmet, had circles of bullets and other firearms wrapped around his body.
Not only that, he spoke with a thick Northeastern accent.
Leng Feng glanced at him and said, "According to the captain, one of our Star Martial Hall Martial Warriors appears to have activated Diamond-tier Clearance."
"Diamond-tier Clearance!?"
The Martial Warrior squad members all stiffened at once.
After all, they had basically all reached Spirit Stream Realm Third Stage or above, yet their current clearance within Star Martial Hall was only Bronze Tier.
Only their captain, Leng Feng, had attained Gold-tier Clearance.
As for Diamond-tier Clearance, they did not know whether their newly parachuted captain had reached it.
"My mother, Diamond-tier Clearance. Someone like that should at least be a Star River Realm expert, right?
What would a person like that need our squad for?"
The bald man asked in confusion.
It was not just him.
Upon hearing that a Martial Warrior with Diamond-tier Clearance had activated the squad deployment authority.
Under normal circumstances, a single Star River Realm Martial Warrior would be enough to sweep through their entire squad.
Activating their squad was not just superfluous?
"Why so much nonsense? Just follow orders!"
Leng Feng barked coldly.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Rustle..."
Leaves drifted down, and something seemed to flash past atop them.
Meng Corporation.
It stood in the heart of Jiangning City's most prosperous CBD.
From the very top floor of the building, one could take in the entirety of Jiangning City at a single glance!
At this moment, inside the expansive top-floor office decorated in solid wood.
"Little Hui really did us proud. He actually awakened B-grade spirituality, and he has already reached Spirit Stream Realm Second Stage.
His Martial Arts Mastery has also reached the peak of Tier One. He successfully passed the Jiangnan Martial University trial and was admitted to Jiangnan Martial University ahead of schedule!"
Can't find the book title? Try searching for the author instead; perhaps it was renamed!
"Congratulations, President Meng!"
An elder with crane-white hair and a youthful complexion, dressed in luxurious robes, praised him.
"Hehe, it is all thanks to Elder Shen's excellent guidance. My son merely lived up to expectations."
The man with slicked-back hair chuckled.
The excitement on his face could not be hidden no matter what.
His younger son had become incorrigibly wayward, spending his days lingering amid wine and women.
His eldest son was the one with the potential to make something of himself.
The youth called Meng Hui also wore a face full of pride.
"Dad, save me!"
Suddenly, the office doors were shoved open.
A youth who bore some resemblance to Meng Hui rushed inside.
Behind him, Liu Liu clutched his hand, the bandages around it already soaked through with blood.
"Why are you yelling and shouting? What are you panicking for? The sky is not falling!"
Meng Xiong shouted coldly.
The moment he saw this disappointing son of his, anger rose straight from his heart.
He had long warned Meng Chen that lust was a blade hanging over one's head; mishandle it, and one day he would die beneath a woman's belly.
But as his father.
He was still his own flesh and blood, after all. Every time Meng Chen got into trouble, Meng Xiong was the one who cleaned up his mess.
And judging from this, the bastard had caused trouble outside again.
"Oh, okay."
Meng Chen looked aggrieved, but once he returned to the corporation, his heart completely settled.
His hatred for Ye Fan had reached the bone.
He wished he could immediately take Elder Shen back there and skin that brat alive, pull out his tendons, and peel off his flesh!
"Oh, Brother's back too?"
"Yes, it was Ye Fan from your old grade. He injured Liu Liu and even threatened to kill me!"
Meng Chen wailed.
"Ye Fan?"
Meng Hui was also somewhat puzzled after hearing this. "That trash who only knew how to cultivate bitterly? Yesterday, because his aptitude was too poor, he was already thrown out of the Jiangnan Martial University Trial Camp."
"How could he possibly injure Liu Liu?"
"Did you set your sights on his sister again?"
Meng Hui only needed a moment's thought to know what disgraceful deed his younger brother had been up to.
"Enough. He is just an ordinary commoner. Have them pay the medical expenses and show some sincerity with compensation, then let this matter go."
Meng Xiong waved his hand dismissively.
"President Meng, rest assured, I will handle—"
Elder Shen said with a smile.
"Tap tap tap..."
Very soon, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded from outside.
"Something terrible has happened, President Meng!"
A subordinate shouted from far away.
"Flustered and rash, what kind of conduct is this?"
Meng Xiong said with great displeasure.
"Reporting to President Meng, Meng Corporation has been surrounded by a squad from Star Martial Hall."
The man reported.
"What? A Star Martial Hall squad!?"
Meng Xiong was greatly alarmed upon hearing this!
Suddenly, he looked toward Meng Chen, his gaze seeming ready to devour him alive!
"N-No, it was not me, Dad! How would I dare provoke anyone from Star Martial Hall?!"
Meng Chen broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly denied it.
The surveillance footage was brought up.
On one screen appeared a tall youth, walking at the front with a Bright Silver Red Tassel Spear in hand, his bearing extraordinary.
Several Martial Warriors dressed in combat uniforms followed at his side.
They looked brimming with killing intent.
"Th-That really is Ye Fan?"
Meng Hui was shocked as well.
Impossible!
Yesterday, Ye Fan had looked so humble and pleading, yet today he looked like a god of slaughter.
They were simply like two completely different people!
