Hearing the voice, Fang Bai and the others looked upstairs.
A young man in golden silk pajamas, exuding an air of a nouveau riche, slowly walked down from upstairs. He had long hair and, if he wore makeup, it would be hard to tell his gender. A hint of flippancy and rebelliousness played on his lips, and the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist gleamed with a sapphire light under the crystal chandelier.
Director Liu chuckled, "Young Master Qi Tian, it's been a few years, and your demeanor has certainly improved!"
Qi Tian said with a grin, "Just so-so. You know me, I've lived a life of ease since I was young, never wanting for anything. It's hard to even experience hardship!"
Fang Bai: "..."
Director Liu: "..."
Xiao Yuan: "???"
As he approached them, Qi Tian's gaze fell upon Fang Bai and Xiao Yuan. His eyes lit up, "Wow! You two must be my future classmates! Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! My name is Qi Tian, the Qi from Qi Tian the Great Sage. Please take care of me in the future!"
Fang Bai replied, "My name is Fang Bai."
"I'm Xiao Yuan."
Xiao Yuan scratched his head with a simple, honest look.
"Butler!"
Qi Tian called out, and the old man in a tuxedo respectfully appeared, "Young Master."
Qi Tian waved his hand grandly, "Go to the family vault and get two boxes of gold as a welcome gift for my classmates!"
The butler's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded respectfully, "Yes."
Fang Bai was stunned, "Dude, you're giving gold right off the bat? Isn't that a bit too valuable?"
Qi Tian waved his hand generously, "Money is just an external possession! I, Qi Tian, just love making friends!"
"Oh, right! And this too!"
Qi Tian spread his hands. The space above his palm suddenly rippled, and the next second, two rings appeared in his hand.
This mystical scene completely stunned Fang Bai and Xiao Yuan.
Qi Tian handed one ring to each of them, his smile incredibly bright.
Director Liu narrowed his eyes, "These are space rings made from the spines of space demonic beasts, possessing spatial power. Judging by their quality, they're from at least Tier 3 demonic beasts. The storage space is about ten square meters, worth millions on the market."
Fang Bai was somewhat shocked. He had only seen such things in textbooks and never expected to encounter them so soon in reality. And something worth millions was being given away as a welcome gift!
Was the gap between people really this huge?
Qi Tian said humbly, "We have so many of these at home, they're practically unsellable. They're not much use to me."
Fang Bai looked at Director Liu, "Director, what does Qi Tian's family do?"
Director Liu chuckled, "The Qi family owns one of the largest corporations in Magic City, the Qi Corporation, specializing in the sale and recycling of demonic beast materials. Many of our Martial Academy's cultivation resources are provided by the Qi family. Oh, and Qi Tian's second uncle is also the Vice Dean of the Martial Academy."
Fang Bai was astonished. This was undoubtedly a rich second generation!
Qi Tian smiled innocently, "My family is too outstanding, there's nothing I can do about it."
Director Liu then added, "Qi Tian's own talent is also monstrous. He's not only a Tier 2 Martial Artist but also a dual-attribute cultivator! They are Tier 2 Primary Light Attribute and Tier 1 Intermediate Wood Attribute."
"Dual-attribute?!"
Fang Bai was floored.
Damn it! Who is the protagonist here?!
He thought he was already amazing after awakening his system, but he never expected others to have such a high starting point!
But then again, it made sense. After all, his family was in the demonic beast business; spending money on cultivation was normal.
Xiao Yuan, blessed by his lack of worldly knowledge, didn't understand the fuss about Tier 1 or Tier 2 and just kept smiling foolishly.
Director Liu looked at Qi Tian and said, "We're a bit pressed for time. Are you ready? We should depart."
Qi Tian grinned, "Of course! Ready to go anytime!"
A moment later.
"Butler! Prepare the latest model Range Rover for me!"
Seeing the dilapidated van at the entrance, Qi Tian shook his head and told the butler to prepare a car.
With the space rings, their luggage could be stored, and it wouldn't be so cramped.
Fang Bai felt like his life was just beginning.
Damn it! What a hard life he had before!
Director Liu also smacked his lips as he touched the million-dollar car.
He had worked for decades, and this was the first time he had driven such a nice car, even if it wasn't his.
"Let's go pick up the last classmate now."
Willow Leaf Town.
This was the outskirts of Magic City, with rolling mountains stretching as far as the eye could see.
At this moment in town, residents were gathered together, and under the organization of a group of grey-robed personnel, they were orderly queuing up to register their information.
These grey-robed personnel were well-trained, and on their backs was a circular emblem embroidered with the words [Monster Slaying]!
Monster Slaying Army!
This was a mysterious and powerful army within Dragon Country!
They existed because of Demonic Beasts, were well-trained, disciplined, and bore the mission of slaying Demonic Beasts and maintaining order!
Not far away, a grey-robed man sat on a large stone carving, leisurely smoking a cigarette.
Unlike the others, this man had a shoulder insignia on his shoulder, with three stars attached to it.
Three-Star Monster Slaying General!
Tier 3 Martial Artist!
Martial Artists of this level were already leaders of a small team!
The middle-aged man's gaze swept across the sky above the small town, looking into the distance with deep eyes, "I hope we can make it in time."
"Captain Qi! The townspeople have basically been accounted for! We can evacuate at any time!"
A soldier from the Monster Slaying Army approached the man, standing straight, and said loudly.
The man narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure everyone is accounted for?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment, "The Vice Captain has already led a team deep into the town to ensure no one is left behind!"
The man extinguished his cigarette butt, casually tossed it behind him, and said calmly, "Get these people on the vehicles and escort them to the safe zone!"
"Yes!"
Although the registration process went smoothly, the boarding process encountered problems.
Not everyone was willing to leave the place they had lived in for decades.
"Why are you suddenly making us leave here? Please give us an explanation!"
"Exactly! We were living just fine! Why should we leave? If we leave, who will provide us with food and shelter?"
"You government officials! You're always bothering us common folk!"
"I have a heart condition, I can't handle the stress, I want a special car!"
"When can we come back?"
"..."
A commotion broke out, and the scene descended into chaos.
"Boom!"
Just then, a loud explosion erupted, startling everyone, and they all looked over.
The next second, they tacitly swallowed their saliva, fear appearing on their faces.
They saw the man who had been sitting on the stone carving placing his palm on the stone carving behind him, and the carving was already half-shattered!
Was this even human? Shattering half a stone carving with one palm?
The man's cold gaze swept over everyone. Anyone who met his eyes guiltily lowered their heads.
The man's hoarse voice rang out, "First, Demonic Beasts will descend here soon. Those who are not afraid of death can stay."
"Second, obey orders. I don't want my soldiers to sacrifice themselves in vain due to the stupidity of you fools. Anyone who speaks another word, I will send them away first! Don't doubt my words!"
As he finished speaking, a ball of flame ignited on the man's body, and he exuded a powerful aura like a deity, stunning the entire audience!
The crowd fell silent, watching the man's divine transformation in terror, instinctively believing every word he said.
With the man's deterrence, no one dared to speak further and obediently got into the vehicles, none of them wanting to see their brains splattered.
Seeing this, the man retracted his Exotic Energy and snorted, "A bunch of idiots! Peaceful life has made you too comfortable! Your brains are full of shit!"
Just then, a ringtone sounded, and the man took out a special mobile phone and answered it.
"Qi Zhen, be aware! Ten o'clock direction, eight kilometers away, there's an exotic space energy fluctuation! Current rating: C-Class!"
"Command the subsequent actions yourself! Ensure the safe evacuation of the masses. Support from the Martial Academy will arrive in an hour!"
"Understood!"
"It doesn't matter if they come or not, a mere C-Class... we don't need support!"
