At the summit of Reynolds City, inside the largest room in the sixth-generation patriarch's manor.
Chu Yuan's father, Sake Reynolds, was sending an email to his sworn enemy of ten thousand years.
"Moluo, now you know how awesome I am, right? This time, I beat you into the dirt without even using thirty percent of my strength. Looks like all these years of living in luxury have made your strength regress to Star Level."
His longtime sworn enemy replied, "Sake, stop gloating. You lost so miserably the last few times that I deliberately went easy on you. In fact, I didn't even use ten percent of my strength. If I got serious, I could crush you with a single finger."
Sake's eyes widened. "Went easy on me? Who was kneeling on the ground howling after I beat him just now? Can't take a loss, huh? Now you've even learned to make excuses. Looks like you really are getting old."
His longtime sworn enemy replied, "Not as old as you. You're over eighty thousand years old. If you don't break through to Domain Lord soon, you'll die of old age. I'm still young. I've got tens of thousands of years left to live it up. Envious? Jealous? Hehehe."
"Fuck your %*&￥#@..."
Chu Yuan pushed the door open and entered. Seeing his dad passionately trading insults with an online friend, the corner of his mouth twitched. He was somewhat speechless.
His dad, Sake, was usually a very aloof man, with a personality that kept strangers at arm's length.
But for some reason, whenever he encountered that "longtime sworn enemy," he became a powder keg that exploded at the slightest spark.
"Dad, did you win or lose this time?"
Chu Yuan sat on the sofa, casually picked up a fruit, and took a bite.
"Won, of course."
Sake looked smug. "But that old bastard couldn't take the loss this time. He actually claimed he'd gone easy on me. Do I need him to go easy on me?"
As he spoke, a disdainful look crossed his face. Then he looked at Chu Yuan. "What brings you here this time? Short on money? I'll transfer some to you right now. I won two billion Ganwu Coins off that bastard this time."
"No, I came to tell you some good news."
"What good news? You broke through to Star Level Second Order?"
Sake walked over and sat opposite Chu Yuan. He still knew nothing about what had happened at the fighting arena.
Chu Yuan said each word distinctly. "Not Star Level Second Order. I've broken through to Star Level 9, and I've already joined the Virtual Universe Company as an external member of the Black Dragon Mountain Branch."
As his words fell, the room sank into deathly silence.
Sake gave Chu Yuan a long, searching look. After a long while, he waved a hand. "Fourth Son, if you're sick, go take some medicine. Don't joke with your dad."
Chu Yuan chuckled. "I know that joke isn't funny at all either, so I'm not joking."
Seeing his son's serious expression, Sake froze for a moment. "You..."
Just as he was about to speak, he received an email from his eldest son.
"Dad, have you heard? Fourth Brother broke through to Star Level 9. There's also a rumor that he took a powerful Domain Lord as his teacher. Hurry up and ask him if it's true!"
Word of what had happened at the fighting arena had already spread through the family. After learning about it, his eldest brother, Yunya, had immediately emailed their dad, Sake, to confirm it.
Looking at the email from his eldest son, Sake had no choice but to believe it.
He stared at Chu Yuan in astonishment. "Fourth Son, you really broke through to Star Level 9?"
Chu Yuan nodded. "Of course."
"You really joined the Virtual Universe Company?"
"That's right."
"You really took a Domain Lord as your teacher?"
Sake's voice suddenly rose.
Chu Yuan shook his head. "No, that part isn't true."
"Oh, so you didn't."
Sake was somewhat disappointed, but Chu Yuan immediately added, "My teacher isn't a Domain Lord. He's a Peak World Lord."
Although his teacher, World Lord Huoyao, was dead, he had indeed been a Peak World Lord expert. Chu Yuan had not deceived his dad.
"A Peak World Lord expert?!"
Sake sprang up from the sofa as though his backside were on fire.
He rushed up to Chu Yuan and stared fixedly at him. "Fourth Son, you really took a Peak World Lord expert as your teacher?"
His expression was shocked and incredulous.
"I did."
After receiving his son's affirmative answer, Sake nearly went mad with excitement.
He paced back and forth across the room like a spinning top, unable to stop at all.
"My son is a Star Level 9 warrior. He joined the Virtual Universe Company. His teacher is a Peak World Lord expert."
Sake kept repeating those few sentences, his mind surging.
As he spoke, he kept looking over at Chu Yuan.
The news had come so suddenly that he could not digest it all at once.
"Dad, don't get so worked up. Have some water and calm down."
Chu Yuan poured his dad a glass of water and pushed it to the other corner of the table.
"I can't calm down!"
Sake abruptly slapped the table, staring intently at Chu Yuan. "Fourth Son, tell me exactly what happened."
"How did you join the Virtual Universe Company? How did you become a World Lord's disciple? Tell me the whole thing, and don't leave out a single detail."
"The process wasn't really complicated."
Chu Yuan spoke casually. "After I broke through to Star Level a year ago, I dueled people in the Decisive Battle Space and won battle after battle. Later, I comprehended the Fire Domain..."
The instant he heard the word "domain," Sake's eyes widened. "You comprehended the Fire Domain?!"
A domain-that was power possessed by Domain Lord experts. Many Universe Level experts had yet to comprehend a domain, himself included.
Chu Yuan nodded. "It was precisely because I comprehended a domain that I caught my teacher's attention, and he took me as his disciple."
"After a year of my teacher's instruction, my domain broke through to the third stage. Not long ago, while I was fighting in the Decisive Battle Space, my strength caught the attention of an external executive of the Virtual Universe Company. He invited me to join the company."
After hearing this, Sake slumped onto the sofa, his expression blank and his eyes vacant.
Shock, horror, and all sorts of emotions intertwined, leaving his mind completely blank.
A Star Level warrior who had comprehended the Fire Domain.
In just one year, his domain had broken through to the third stage.
Was such a peerless genius really his son?
What virtue or ability did he possess to have fathered such a genius?
"Dad, besides all that, I have another piece of good news for you."
Chu Yuan spoke again.
Sake lay on the sofa, looking as though he were questioning his entire life, and waved a hand. "Whatever it is, tell me all at once."
There had been so much good news that it had shaken him to his core, leaving him unable to recover.
Even if a few more pieces of good news came along, he would no longer find them surprising.
Chu Yuan said each word distinctly. "I bought three doses of the Domain Lord Level Bloodline Evolution Agent from the Virtual Universe Company. One each for you, Eldest Brother, and Second Brother."
"Domain Lord Level Bloodline Evolution Agent?!"
Sake's eyes widened, and he leaped up from the sofa once again.
He could not help being shocked. This was the Domain Lord Level Bloodline Evolution Agent, something money could not buy on the open market.
Although it was available on the black market, Sake did not dare buy it. Getting caught meant a death sentence.
"The Domain Lord Level Bloodline Evolution Agent is useful to you too. You don't have to give it all to us."
Now, Fourth Son was the Leinuo Family's most precious treasure. Naturally, any cultivation resources had to go to him first.
