Powerful Rivals in the Competition

At the banquet.

Ke Yong looked at the table full of exquisite food and could not help swallowing. He felt that he had been incredibly lucky these past two days.

Principal Zhong Li had set up a plan to capture the DY Terrorist Organization, and Ke Yong had benefited greatly from it as well. He believed he would receive a reward before long, and he had also obtained a Level Three Automatic Pistol.

Today, he had been invited to attend Gao Xiong's daughter's wedding and could enjoy so many precious dishes.

From the dishes he recognized alone, all had been prepared using Martial Master-level Demon Beast Meat. After just one meal, he would be able to break through tonight when he returned home.

Suddenly, Ke Yong stared blankly at the youth standing ahead with his arm around Gao Xiong's shoulders. Wasn't that Wang Hao, whom he had driven away yesterday?!

This was bad!

Ke Yong was shocked. How could this youth be so close to Gao Xiong? Could he be someone from the Gao Family!? Or did he have some extraordinary identity!?

If so, wouldn't that mean he had offended Gao Xiong? Would he still be able to get by on Earth in the future!?

Suddenly, Wang Hao's words when he left surfaced in Ke Yong's mind. "I hope you won't regret it."

Could this have been hinting that he was about to be in trouble!?

"Gulp!"

Thinking of this, Ke Yong swallowed, feeling ice-cold all over. He was merely the chief of a police precinct on Earth. If he offended Gao Xiong, he could imagine the consequences even with his ass.

Meanwhile, Wang Hao did not notice Ke Yong. Instead, he listened carefully to Gao Xiong.

"Worthy nephew, do you see that youth carrying a greatsword? He is Ding Haojie from Eighth High School, and his cultivation has already reached Martial Master Level One."

"The youth beside Ding Haohan who is also carrying a greatsword is his younger brother, Ding Haoxuan. His cultivation has also reached Martial Master Level One."

"That girl in red over there is Xue Qianqin from Fourteenth High School. Her cultivation is also at Martial Master Level One."

"And that sunny, energetic youth over there is Zhuo Chao from First High School. He is also everyone's formidable opponent in this year's Hundred Schools Competition. His cultivation is at Martial Master Level One, but he can use a Level Two Technological Weapon—a mech."

Wang Hao narrowed his eyes and looked back and forth between the four of them. If Gao Xiong had not introduced them, he truly would not have known that so many Martial Master students were participating in this year's Hundred Schools Competition.

"Well? Are you confident you can defeat them tomorrow!?" Gao Xiong patted Wang Hao on the shoulder.

The corners of Wang Hao's lips curled up slightly. "This Hundred Schools Competition isn't an Arena Competition. Who gets the last laugh will depend on their performance on the day."

"Haha, just like your father. Always so confident." Gao Xiong sighed with emotion, as though he had returned to the days when he and Wang Tianyi studied at Eleventh High School.

In that era, it had been entirely Wang Tianyi's world. Whether they were gifted commoners or noble young masters, no one could contend with him. Even the older generation had to avoid his edge.

Although Wang Hao's cultivation was not as strong as Wang Tianyi's had been back then, the talent he had displayed was absolutely far more powerful than Wang Tianyi's.

Looking at Wang Hao, Gao Xiong felt that a new era was about to begin.

Not long after, Wang Hao had eaten and drunk his fill before bidding Gao Xiong farewell.

He needed to return home and absorb the Demon Beast Meat he had just eaten. This Martial Master-level Demon Beast Meat contained a great deal of spiritual energy, and he had to refine it quickly.

Seeing this, Gao Xiong did not stop him and warmly reminded him to come visit his home whenever he had time.

"Definitely. I'll definitely visit Uncle Gao's home sometime." Wang Hao gave a hypocritical reply. But when he thought of Gao Damei and Lin Tingbai together, he would never go there even if beaten to death.

When Wang Hao sat aboard the Jiaolong Submersible, he instantly felt refined, impressive, and high-class. A private spacecraft was far more awesome than any luxury car that drove on the ground.

"I hope that brat Lin Tingbai behaves himself from now on. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." A glint of cold light flashed in Wang Hao's eyes. When it came to someone who wanted to kill him, he truly wanted to eradicate the problem at its root.

Unfortunately, the other party had sent such a huge gift and invoked his father, while Wang Hao had no foundation at all. He could only play along hypocritically.

As Wang Hao piloted the Jiaolong Submersible away, Lin Tingbai continued staring blankly after it.

Lin Yang looked at the departing Jiaolong Submersible, then at his son, and said quietly, "Tingbai, I know you hate your father, but that is how the world works. Whoever has the bigger fist controls everything. If you don't want to be controlled by others, find a way to make your own fist stronger."

A trace of life returned to Lin Tingbai's eyes. He wanted to control his own destiny and would absolutely not become someone else's puppet.

But at that moment, the host loudly announced, "The groom and bride are entering the bridal chamber!"

At those words, Lin Tingbai shuddered, and the trace of life in his eyes vanished in an instant...

In the Dark Cosmos, large spacecraft descended one after another upon a desolate planet.

The people who came down from the spacecraft either looked vicious or wore fierce expressions. In any case, one look was enough to tell that they were no good.

Among these people were Xi Rongxuan and his Underlings, members of the DY Terrorist Organization who had been captured on Earth.

Xi Rongxuan calmly looked at the desolate planet. According to his memories, this planet was called Jia Da Star, a Level One Planet.

It had once been highly prosperous and rich in resources. Unfortunately, excessive mining had turned it barren. The planet's inhabitants later relocated, and it was now an uninhabited planet.

"Boss, why did these soldiers bring us here!?" the Underlings asked curiously.

Xi Rongxuan shook his head and frowned. "I don't know either, but everyone brought here has been sentenced to death. Yet none of them are above Martial Master Level Five. I really can't figure out what they intend to do."

At that moment, many soldiers came down from the large spacecraft. They removed the prisoners' handcuffs and placed a Black Bracelet on each of them.

"You may now move freely on this planet." After one soldier finished speaking, he boarded the spacecraft with the others, and they left the planet.

All the prisoners were utterly confused. Why had they been abandoned on this planet? Were they supposed to serve prison sentences!?

But that was not right!

Their crimes all carried the death penalty. They should have been executed by shooting. They had never heard that they would need to serve prison time afterward!?

Xi Rongxuan looked around at the tens of thousands of criminals, then glanced at the Black Bracelet on his wrist. He seemed to understand what these people were planning...

After the banquet ended, Ke Yong returned to the police station with a pounding heart.

At the banquet just now, he had constantly watched the interactions between Wang Hao and Gao Xiong. The result proved that their relationship was absolutely far from ordinary.

Especially when Wang Hao had actually left in the Jiaolong Submersible after the banquet, which further proved that Wang Hao's identity was not simple.

If Wang Hao truly came looking for trouble with him, he would definitely die horribly.

"No, I have to do something." Ke Yong took out all his savings and walked out of the police station...
