September 1st arrived in the blink of an eye. This was the day Luo Feng would succeed as the Supervisor of the Limit Dojo's Jiangnan Base City.
Within the large residential area housing the Limit Dojo's Jiangnan headquarters, roughly ninety percent of the martial artists affiliated with the Dojo in the entire base city lived here!
Music had been echoing through the residential area since early morning.
Deep inside the residential area, a three-story, pure-white grand hall would host a lavish banquet tonight to welcome the new Supervisor. So, early on, a white wooden fence was erected about a hundred meters around the three-story white hall, cordoning it off and barring outsiders from entry.
A red carpet stretched from the fence gate all the way, a hundred meters long, to the entrance hall of the white villa.
Only individuals of extremely high status could attend the banquet, at minimum at the manager level. Even so, guests arrived in an endless stream, making the scene quite lively.
Outside the white fence, Ji Yun and Luo Yue stood in a corner.
"Brother Yun," Luo Yue whispered, "you brought me here today, but this setting feels so grand. I'm a little scared."
"It's fine," Ji Yun said, gently patting Luo Yue's back and softly reassuring her. "We're not the main attraction today. No one will notice us."
With that, Ji Yun took Luo Yue's hand and walked toward the entrance.
"Hello, please show your invitation," the attendant at the door asked politely, showing no disregard despite their youth.
Ji Yun pulled an invitation from his pocket. The invitation didn't specify his identity, but its authenticity was beyond doubt.
"Right this way, sir." The attendant didn't hesitate, bowed slightly, and smiled as he invited them in, then returned to his normal posture as Ji Yun and Luo Yue stepped onto the red carpet.
"Wow, a red carpet!" Luo Yue walked carefully on it. "I've never walked on a red carpet before."
"But am I going to embarrass myself?" She hopped twice on the carpet, took a few steps, glanced at Ji Yun's amused expression, then immediately grabbed his arm and asked quietly.
The Black God Set had transformed into a dark-cyan, trendy suit. Ji Yun didn't look overly formal, but the outfit was indeed sharp, giving him an excellent aura.
Still, such a young face suddenly appearing in this room felt a bit out of place.
"Sister Xu!" Luo Yue let out a small exclamation. However, many of the martial artists present were quite powerful and naturally heard it clearly, casting glances their way.
Instantly, those martial artists turned serious. They caught sight of Ji Yun's face—these War Gods had all seen him in the War God Palace. This young man was the newly appointed Councilor-level powerhouse—Ji Yun.
Luo Yue pulled Ji Yun to a corner of the hall. Following her gaze, Ji Yun saw two women holding wine glasses and chatting in the corner.
"Xiao Yue!" The woman called Sister Xu looked surprised.
"Hehe, Brother Yun, let me introduce you. This is Sister Xu, who's been so kind to me before—Xu Xin."
"Xu Xin? From the Xu family? What's your relationship with Luo Feng?" Hearing this, Ji Yun could roughly piece together many things.
So this Xu Xin was Luo Feng's girlfriend. He had previously asked Luo Feng for a favor, which went through her. Coincidentally, before he made that request, Xu Xin had already met and befriended Luo Yue.
"I'm Luo Feng's girlfriend. And you are?" Xu Xin replied with a smile.
Although the Xu family held considerable influence domestically, a Councilor who had only appeared in the War God Palace was not someone the Xu family could easily meet. As just a member of the Xu family, Xu Xin naturally didn't know Ji Yun's identity. Still, in her eyes, anyone who could bring a female companion here must have a significant status.
"Ji Yun." Since their identities were clear, there was no need for further explanation. Ji Yun let Luo Yue go chat with Xu Xin while he sat down on a nearby sofa.
***
War God-level martial artists kept coming to Ji Yun's corner to chat with him.
Xu Xin, nearby, occasionally glanced at this young man she didn't recognize. She was somewhat shocked—many War God powerhouses actively approached Ji Yun, and their behavior was very proper.
"Could he be a High-Level War God too?" The thought crossed Xu Xin's mind.
Xu Xin and Luo Yue were chatting happily.
Suddenly, an elderly man and a long-haired young man walked over.
"Elder Xu, who are these two?" the long-haired young man asked, looking at the pair and turning to the old man.
"This is my granddaughter, Xu Xin," the old man said with a smile. "And the young lady beside her must be Xu Xin's friend." He glanced at Luo Yue's unfamiliar face. He truly couldn't recall any family in Jiangnan Base City with a daughter so young who could enter this occasion.
The long-haired young man stepped forward directly, approaching the two women, and smiled. "Miss Xu Xin, and this young lady, hello. My name is Lei Yufeng."
There was a certain eagerness in Lei Yufeng's eyes that made Luo Yue very uncomfortable, and she instinctively stepped back.
"Nice to meet you." Lei Yufeng had just spoken when—
"Supervisor Luo is here!" A voice rang out from the hall, drawing many people toward the entrance.
Xu Xin and the woman beside her also walked over. There, on the hundred-meter-long red carpet, a young man in a black suit was walking over with a smile. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him! At that moment, his intangible aura was incredibly strong. As a powerful Psychic Master, his gaze alone made people's hearts tremble!
"Brother Yun, should we go too?"
At some point, Ji Yun had already stood up and come to Luo Yue's side. The two of them moved slightly toward the middle, not joining the crowd waiting at the door for Luo Feng.

"No need. We'll just sit here." Ji Yun pulled Luo Yue back down, half-leaning on the sofa, watching the entrance.
"Heh, pretty direct." Ji Yun observed.
Luo Feng walked straight toward Xu Xin, but his gaze swept over the long-haired young man standing beside her—the same one who had already displeased Ji Yun. It just so happened that Luo Feng had entered at that moment, so Ji Yun hadn't said anything.
Xu Xin took Luo Feng's arm. After greeting a few people, Luo Feng led her over to Ji Yun.
Behind Luo Feng was a crowd of people wanting to talk to him, but after handling them, he came straight here. Now, many who hadn't noticed Ji Yun and Luo Yue earlier saw Ji Yun sitting there.
"Who are you? Why aren't you greeting Supervisor Luo?"
The long-haired young man, seeing Ji Yun sitting with the young lady he had just approached, snorted, his expression darkening as he demanded.
"The succession ceremony of Supervisor Luo is not a place just anyone can enter."
"Lei Yufeng, say no more." The elderly man accompanying the young man directly pulled Lei Yufeng back, yanking him away. "For the sake of my good friendship with your father, I'm pulling you back. Don't speak."
"Councilor Ji." The middle-aged man who had been introducing Luo Feng all along spoke with great respect, "I didn't expect you to arrive so early."
Hearing this, those who hadn't understood before fell silent in fear.
Ji Yun glanced at Lei Yufeng and said, "There won't be a next time."
"Don't mind me. I'm just here to join the fun."

The banquet carried an undercurrent of tension. The Limit Dojo and Thunder Dojo had been rivals for a long time, so naturally they clashed on many fronts.
Suddenly, "What!" A cry of shock rang through the hall, causing everyone to stop their discussions and look over in confusion. The one who had shouted was a middle-aged man in military uniform, apparently a commander of some military region, with a rank equal to that of the Jinnan Military Region's commander.
"I'm heading back immediately!"
"Commander Li, what's wrong?" someone nearby asked.
"Bad news. The sea monster race has already engaged the Southeast Military Region's front lines." The commander spoke solemnly. As soon as the words left his mouth, the entire hall erupted in uproar.
"What level?" the man pressed.
"Level 1 Beast Tide."
Everyone in the hall was stunned. Ji Yun was also slightly startled. At the beginning of the year, the beast tide he had resisted from the Jinnan Military Region was also a Level 1 Beast Tide, but the Bohai Bay was relatively narrow, not as threatening as the Jiangnan Military Region facing the East Sea directly.
"A Level 1 Beast Tide has erupted now. I must return immediately. I also hope that all War Gods here, if you have the ability, will lend a hand at the critical moment!" The middle-aged commander looked at the crowd. There were quite a few War Gods present, and his gaze even subtly flickered toward Ji Yun.
"Commander Li, time is pressing. Let's go now." The new Supervisor Luo Feng said decisively, standing together with the commander.
"Councilor Ji? Would you be willing?"
The commander looked at Ji Yun with hopeful eyes. A newly promoted Councilor could easily disguise himself as a War God, greatly relieving the military region's pressure. This beast tide might even become insignificant.
"I have already fought with the sea monsters and shown myself. If I act again, it will attract King Rank Monsters." Ji Yun said only this.
"Oh," Commander Li replied with a hint of disappointment.
"Fellow War Gods, this is urgent. Let's set out now." With that, Commander Li led the way out of the hall. The vast hall was instantly left with only some family members and civilian staff, since the banquet's main guest had already left.
No matter where a sea beast tide occurred, it was terrifying. The military region's War Base lacked the natural defensive chokepoints that Jinnan had, so casualties were heavy.
Around 2 PM on September 29th.
Ji Yun wore the best SS-grade Combat Suit produced on Earth, with a long spear strapped to his back. If one wasn't paying attention, Ji Yun seemed almost unnoticeable, as if his entire being had dissolved into the wind.
Ji Yun planned to enter the No. 9 Civilization Ruins together with Luo Feng.
"Ji Yun, I'm here." A deep blue fighter jet descended from the sky, circling above Ji Yun's residence in Jiangnan Base City.
"Xiao Yue, I don't know how long I'll be gone this time. Take care of yourself while I'm away."
After giving his instructions, Ji Yun, carrying his long spear and with the Black God Set packed in a box, soared into the sky and entered the deep blue smart fighter jet.
The deep blue triangular fighter jet quickly ascended, exiting the city defense system area of Jiangnan Base City, then turned into a streak of light, speeding toward the Limit Dojo's global headquarters.
It took only an hour.
In Hongning Base City, the Limit Dojo's global headquarters was a massive ancient spaceship-like structure. On the landing pad beside the giant spaceship building, a deep blue triangular fighter jet slowly descended.
"Let's go. All the information on the No. 9 Ruins is inside."
The hatch opened, and Ji Yun and Luo Feng walked out, one after the other.
