Jiang Mingyue

Through some events, Wang Cheng quickly grasped the full picture.

At the same time, Jiang Yueming, who was being stared at by Wang Cheng, fell into boundless tension. She didn't know that Wang Cheng had emerged from the ring on her spear tip. She thought Wang Cheng's sudden appearance was due to his extreme speed, so much so that she hadn't seen him clearly.

This speed, coupled with how Wang Cheng had casually pulverized the Iron Armor Beetle King's head just now, made Jiang Yueming instantly judge that Wang Cheng was likely an existence beyond War God!

Originally, Jiang Yueming believed she had done nothing wrong, neither stealing nor robbing. Upon meeting such a strong individual, while she would feel a slight reverence, she wouldn't be overly nervous.

After all, beings beyond War God rarely acted against their own kind!

But now it was different. Not long ago, she had struck it rich and found this incredible ring. She hadn't even had it for long, and what if the other party discovered the ring's peculiarity and decided to forcibly seize it? How could she protect it then?

"To kill that scoundrel, this ring is the key. Don't find out, don't find out," Jiang Yueming chanted in her heart, but unfortunately, things didn't go as she wished.

"What's your name?" Wang Cheng asked with a smile.

"Jiang Yueming!"

Jiang Yueming replied, her voice a little hoarse, likely a disguised voice.

"Jiang Yueming? A good name!" Wang Cheng praised. He continued, "However, Miss Jiang Yueming, the last time I saw you, I remember you were only a High-level War General. I didn't expect you to be fighting Lord-level monsters in the blink of an eye. You've improved so quickly!"

"I didn't actively seek to fight it. It suddenly burrowed out of the ground, and I had no choice but to engage!" Jiang Yueming explained calmly. Whether Wang Cheng believed it or not, she half-believed it herself.

But unfortunately, Jiang Yueming had no idea that Wang Cheng had long since seen through all the causes and effects.

"So, you're saying I saved your life?" Wang Cheng pointed to the Iron Armor Beetle King nearby, its head already pulverized.

"I don't know how to address you, Senior. If I have the chance in the future, I, Jiang Yueming, will do my best to thank you!" Jiang Yueming said sincerely, her heart pounding wildly at this moment.

Because Wang Cheng's gaze had already fallen upon the spear tip in her hand.

Jiang Yueming forced herself not to hide the spear tip, as that would be too obvious!

"You don't need to wait for the future to thank me, you can do it now!" Wang Cheng smiled. "I think your spear tip is quite nice. Why don't you give it to me?"

"You..."

Jiang Yueming instantly understood. Wang Cheng absolutely knew about the abnormality of her spear tip, and his previous words were just toying with her!

"What, reluctant?" Wang Cheng asked.

"Yes, I am reluctant. Senior's great kindness, I will repay you in other ways later!" Jiang Yueming said in a deep voice. She knew Wang Cheng was still toying with her, but she also knew that turning hostile now would bring her no benefit whatsoever.

"What if I insist?" Wang Cheng released a trace of his aura. Although it was only a sliver, a sliver of a Stellar level's aura was enough to make a High-level War General tremble in fear.

"Will you give it to me or not?" Wang Cheng asked again.

"No!" Jiang Yueming didn't retreat. She gritted her teeth, resisting the fear from the depths of her heart.

"En? Still quite tenacious?" Wang Cheng's expression was calm as he released an even more terrifying aura. This was already a near-substantial pressure. Although Jiang Yueming resisted with all her might, she couldn't help but take half a step back.

However, despite stepping back, Jiang Yueming still showed no sign of yielding.

"Your will is quite strong!" Wang Cheng raised an eyebrow. He was a Stellar level with Thirty Times Gene Level. Even after splitting off three thousand Planet level clones, his aura was far more terrifying than a normal Stellar level!

Even releasing just One Tenth of this aura would be enough to make a Planet level feel fear from the bottom of their hearts. It was normal for an Apprentice level to collapse on the spot!

For someone like the person before him, not only was she still standing, but she could also refuse his request. Her will was indeed quite remarkable!

Although willpower was an advantage of Earthlings, in reality, not every Earthling possessed strong willpower!

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many good-for-nothings!

"Senior, I respect your powerful strength, and I respect that you once fought for us humans. But that's no reason for you to rob me!" Jiang Yueming said with difficulty. Wang Cheng suddenly chuckled, then withdrew his aura.

"You're right, powerful strength is no reason to rob. However, there's one thing you're wrong about: I have never fought for humanity!" Wang Cheng said lightly. Then, he reached out and instantly snatched the spear that Jiang Yueming was guarding.

Wang Cheng removed the ring from the spear tip, then returned the spear to Jiang Yueming.

"You clearly said you wouldn't rob me!" Jiang Yueming looked at the empty spear tip with disbelief.

"This ring was mine originally, so how can it be considered robbing? As for you, you picked up someone else's property and wanted to claim it as your own. Isn't that inappropriate?" Wang Cheng asked calmly.

"This ring is yours?" Jiang Yueming asked, not quite believing it.

"If I'm not mistaken, you found this ring in a residential building, and it was on the tenth floor!" Wang Cheng asked with a smile. "Am I right?"

"This..." Jiang Yueming was speechless for a moment. She had indeed found the ring by chance when she went into a residential building to rest. That place did seem to be on the tenth floor!

"What belongs to you will naturally be yours. What doesn't belong to you is useless even if you take it! As compensation for you, I'll give you the corpse of this Iron Armor Beetle King. Take care of yourself!" Wang Cheng smiled, then soared into the sky and disappeared from Jiang Yueming's sight in an instant.

After Wang Cheng flew away, Jiang Yueming couldn't help but slump to the ground, feeling somewhat dejected. Although the Iron Armor Beetle King's corpse, worth a fortune, lay not far away, Jiang Yueming had no strength to dissect it at the moment.

"An existence beyond War God, and I couldn't even move with just his aura? And the ring I got by luck is gone too..." Jiang Yueming thought dejectedly. After an unknown amount of time, she finally got up, took out a dagger from her backpack, and walked towards the Iron Armor Beetle King's corpse.

Meanwhile, as Jiang Yueming was dissecting the Iron Armor Beetle King's corpse, Wang Cheng had already silently returned to his villa in Mingyue Community, Yangzhou City. Wang Cheng's clone had disappeared more than ten days ago, and the villa, empty for over ten days, had a thin layer of dust.

"I'm a Stellar level genius, a person of status in the universe. Now I have to clean my own room... Enmm, I'll find a subordinate to do chores if I have the chance in the future!" Wang Cheng, feeling a bit speechless, split off three clones to clean the villa, and at the same time, split off another clone at Apprentice Tier 3 to gather information outside.

As for Wang Cheng's Main Body, he lay lazily on the sofa in the living room, deep in thought.

Actually, regarding Jiang Yueming, whom he had met twice, Wang Cheng initially felt they had some fate and intended to interact with her more. However, a single sentence from Jiang Yueming made Wang Cheng change his mind, which was why he had so decisively retrieved the World Ring.

"Fighting for humanity?" Wang Cheng shook his head.

Although Wang Cheng could also be considered an Earthling, he wasn't an Earthling from this world. After all, his original world was still a peaceful one in 2022, while this Earth had experienced a Great Calamity back in 2013. The two were fundamentally unrelated.

Because of this, Wang Cheng didn't have any deep emotional attachment to this Earth. If he had to speak of feelings, he still felt some for Huaxia Country. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sided with Jiang Yueming when she clashed with the Foreign Squad.

Wang Cheng's desire to cultivate and become stronger from the very beginning was solely because he knew this world was dangerous and he wanted to protect himself!

The Warriors on this Earth, from the education they received since childhood and all the information they absorbed, were taught that Warriors were humanity's defense, the most solid force protecting mankind. That's why, in the most critical moments, Warriors would step forward.

But Wang Cheng was different. He had never been exposed to that. The memories he received from the original owner of this body couldn't move him much.

"Strictly speaking, I'm an Alien!" Wang Cheng sighed inwardly.

Wang Cheng was well aware that if he could help all of humanity within his capabilities, he wouldn't hesitate in the slightest. After all, this was also his Second home. However, asking him to shed blood and sweat like Luo Feng in Swallowed Star would probably be quite difficult.

He had no close family or friends on this Earth. Asking him to risk his life for no reason? That would be overestimating him!

"However, it seems there's no need for me to risk my life on Earth!" Wang Cheng shook his head.

Wang Cheng's Main Body was deep in thought. At this moment, the Clone he had sent out to gather information saw Luo Feng's father, Luo Hongguo, in Luo Feng's small courtyard.

"Uncle Luo, exercising?" Wang Cheng greeted Luo Hongguo, who was stretching his legs in the yard, with a smile.

"Little Wang, you're back from the Wilderness Area?" Luo Hongguo looked at Wang Cheng with some surprise.

"Wilderness Area?" Wang Cheng was slightly taken aback, then he realized. It turned out that during the more than ten days he had disappeared, people in the neighborhood thought he had gone to the Wilderness Area. He had even worried about encountering a Little Trouble!

But it made sense. Wang Cheng had always been a loner. If he suddenly disappeared, where else could he have gone but the Wilderness Area?

Although he had left his previous team, who would know if he hadn't joined a new one?

"Ah, yes, I'm back!" Wang Cheng nodded with a smile.

"Little Wang, did you run into Luo Feng in the Wilderness Area? That child Luo Feng, Zhang Ke who was with him returned more than ten days ago, but he's still in the Wilderness Area." Luo Hongguo spoke about Luo Feng's situation, which made Wang Cheng realize. At this moment, Luo Feng should be using his convenience as a Mental Master to temper himself crazily in the Wilderness Area, right?

He had even earned the nickname "Madman"!

"I didn't run into Luo Feng. We probably weren't in the same place!" Wang Cheng chuckled. "But Luo Feng's strength is improving very quickly. He should be fine in the Wilderness Area!"

"Then I'll take your Good Wishes!" Luo Hongguo laughed heartily.

"..."

After chatting with Luo Hongguo for a while, Wang Cheng obtained the Intelligence he wanted and quickly controlled his Clone to return to the Villa.
