"Ding! Host has been detected to have entered a new stage (Notification: Host's video has been posted to the Martial Practitioner Forum!), do you wish to sign in?"

"Check-in!"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully checking in! You have been awarded Great Magic Mentor- level all-elemental magic!"

In an instant, a flood of magical information entered Ling Yi's mind.

At the same time, Ling Yi's Divine Power began to surge, and then he opened up a magical space in his Sea of Consciousness. Endless Magic Element appeared out of thin air in the mental space, like soldiers, waiting to be called upon at any time.

At this moment, Ling Yi felt his mind become clear, as if his soul had been sublimated.

"Holy crap, system, are you out of your mind? Why are you suddenly rewarding me with something like this? Don't tell me magic still exists in this world?"

This time, the system surprisingly offered an explanation.

"Ding, host, the system's daily sign-in rewards are random. The initial matching rewards are to help you overcome the crisis at that time. Also, please be reminded that the current world is not Transcendent world, so please use Magic Power with caution."

"So, the previous sign-in rewards weren't random, but the future sign-in rewards will be completely random?"

The system is now offline; I don't want to say much more, because saying too much will only lead to more mistakes.

What can the system do? This is Big Shot; he can only appease him. Saying it's random and then it really is random? Are you kidding me?

Let's make the Big Shot invincible first.

Finding the system inactive again, Ling Yi was helpless. What kind of concept is Great Magic Mentor? Very strong, super strong, ridiculously strong.

But what's the use of being strong? He can't use it. Is he supposed to rule the world, or set up a magic school?

But Ling Yi genuinely felt that giving him this reward would be less useful than giving him a skill like directing or acting.

However, having this magical ability did cause a Changes in Ling Yi's mindset.

After all, they're practically invincible now, so they can be even more unrestrained when causing trouble.

Ling Yi wasn't afraid to play openly, after all, he had the entertainment resources of an entire world, and defeating the barren entertainment industry of this world was a piece of cake.

Sneaking a dirty trick? Believe me, I can strike you dead with a single Lightning spell. The kind of death where even the King Yama won't know how to report it after you die?

Oh, so there's no Underworld in this world. That's alright then.

Coming to his senses, Ling Yi couldn't help but grin. Just as he was about to say something, Liu Yufei's phone rang.

The call was connected for about ten seconds before it was disconnected.

"It's my grandpa on the phone, let's go!"

Ling Qiqi was still a little nervous, and tugged at Ling Yi's arm, asking, "Can I really go?"

"Aren't you usually quite bold?" Ling Yi said with a smile.

"That's Liu Beishan," Ling Qiqi pouted and counted.

Liu Yufei took Ling Qiqi's hand and said, "Don't worry, my grandfather is a very nice person."

The three of them left Ling Yi's house and arrived at Liu Yufei's house in less than twenty minutes.

That's really close; it's practically just across the street.

Liu Yufei's home is a detached villa.

To be precise, the Cloudscape Residential Complex consists entirely of detached villas.

" Yufei, how much does this villa cost?" Ling Yi asked.

"What, are you interested?" Liu Yufei asked with a smile.

"Bro, are you getting cocky? This is a villa, you know."

"Your brother is setting a small goal every seven days? So what if I'm a little high-achieving?"

Ling Qiqi was speechless. Yes, setting a small goal every seven days could certainly make one feel cocky, but why did it feel so unreal?

She was worried about college tuition last month.

" Shuiwei City is a first-tier city, and the prices of villas there are somewhat inflated. For example, in the Cloudscape Residential Complex, a villa like this would cost around 60 million."

Even so, only villas Number Five and Number Seven in the entire Cloudscape Residential Complex remain unsold. Those villas are priced even higher, around eighty or ninety million.

"If you really want to buy it, I can help you make the contact."

Ling Yi thought about it and decided to forget it. He had many plans to carry out and would have many expenses in the future. It was questionable whether the money he had was enough.

"Never mind, we don't have enough money. We'll talk about it later."

Ling Qiqi asked, "Brother, what are you going to do? Isn't all this money enough?"

"I want to start a company, make movies, produce TV series, and do variety shows—there's just too much to do!"

"Are you crazy?" Ling Qiqi was a little confused. Wouldn't it be better to Haohao Sings and write novels? Why bother starting a company and making movies?

"What we're doing now isn't enough to bring this filthy industry down."

Ling Yi made no attempt to hide his thoughts.

But Ling Yi's words seemed like pure fantasy to Ling Qiqi.

As they spoke, the three of them had already entered the villa's main entrance.

In the courtyard of the villa, a sprightly old man dressed in a white martial arts uniform stood with his hands behind his back, watching them.

Just as Liu Yufei was about to say something, the old man made a gesture of drawing his palm towards Ling Yi and said coldly, " Ling Yi, lend a hand!"

Wow, this is a show of force to intimidate me.

Ling Yi felt a surge of displeasure. Although he roughly Elder Bai meant, Ling Yi inherently disliked this kind of probing.

What is a test? A test means to see if you are good enough to meet the old man's standards and gain his approval.

But Ling Yi is an arrogant person at heart and never needs anyone's approval.

"Old man, I'm afraid you'll die if I strike you with my palm!" Ling Yi took two steps forward, stood in front of Liu Beishan, and said with his head held high.

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant," Liu Beishan sneered.

"I can't bring myself to hurt the old, weak, sick, or disabled. If you're not happy about that, come on, hit me here. If I even flinch, I'll admit defeat," Ling Yi said, patting his chest.

Liu Beishan was furious. This brat dared to call him old, weak, sick, and disabled.

"I've practiced Eight Trigrams Palm for over fifty years. If I hit you hard, you'd have to spend half a year in the hospital," Liu Beishan said angrily.

"Anyone can brag, so hurry up and finish the fight so we can eat."

Anyone can give someone a hard time. Test them? Today, we'll make sure this old man can't find anything out of him.

Liu Beishan's beard trembled with rage as he roared, "I really will hit you!"

"Don't hesitate, come on!"

"Kid, don't cry later."

"Old man, don't try to scam me later."

"Alright, Eight Trigrams Palm, Mountain Splitting!" Liu Beishan shouted loudly, but in reality he only used 30% of his strength.

Liu Yufei and Ling Qiqi were still completely bewildered. What was going on? Why were they all getting so worked up?

However, when Liu Beishan's palm struck a foot in front of Ling Yi, it was blocked by a force.

Visibly, a semi-transparent energy shield was dented slightly by the impact, but it bounced back immediately.

Liu Beishan was also shaken by this rebounding force and took half a step back.

Liu Beishan: "Damn it!"

Ling Qiqi: "Oh my god!"

Liu Yufei: "My God!"

"What is this thing?" Liu Beishan asked Ling Yi with surprise and doubt.

"Are you even capable? If not, just admit defeat," Ling Yi said, arms crossed.

" Eight Trigrams Palm, Water Severing!"

Ling Yi raised an eyebrow. Does Eight Trigrams Palm have this move? Let's assume it does!

With this palm strike, Liu Beishan used all his strength, even employing An Jin. His raised right palm, accompanied by a whistling sound, slapped towards Ling Yi's chest.

However, it was still blocked by the semi-transparent shield in front of Ling Yi.

Unlike before, the energy shield seemed to be thicker now, without any dents.

Liu Beishan felt as if he had punched cotton; the force of his palm strike was immediately absorbed by the protective shield.

Liu Beishan knew that Ling Yi was giving him face by forcibly absorbing his power.

Otherwise, if he were bounced back like before, he would probably be sent flying and could be seriously injured.

Not only Liu Beishan understood it, but Ling Qiqi and Liu Yufei also understood it.

Ling Qiqi's eyes lit up; she was determined to learn this trick, even if it meant relentlessly pursuing him.

Liu Yufei looked grateful, but she also developed a strong curiosity about Ling Yi's Kung Fu Hustle.

"What kind of Kung Fu Hustle is that?" Liu Beishan asked, suppressing his shock.

"I don't want to say!" Ling Yi shrugged, being direct and straightforward, without making excuses.

This is Magic Shield, not Kung Fu Hustle.

"Can it be popularized?" Liu Beishan asked earnestly.

Ling Yi smiled and said, "I'm here to eat."

"Haha, right, right, let's eat first!" Liu Beishan changed his expression instantly, making Ling Yi roll his eyes.

Can ordinary people learn Magic Shield? In other words, can ordinary people learn magic?

It should be possible, but it would need to be disguised; it certainly can't be called magic.

Or we can wait until we draw a cultivation technique in the future.

Moreover, whether or not Ling Yi teaches him depends on his own mood.

Anyway, he wasn't relying on Liu Beishan's background. He just came to see this Legend old man and maybe get a free meal, that's all.

He has a dual system, which is his greatest source of confidence and background. He doesn't need to rely on others; that's a joke.

The food wasn't lavish, but it was all very refined and tasteful.

" Ling Yi, what are your plans next?" Liu Beishan asked after taking a bite of his food.

"Let's take it one step at a time," Ling Yi said without looking up.

"To what extent are you capable of achieving this, or rather, to what extent do you want to achieve this?" Liu Beishan asked again.

"Old man, we're eating, can you please not talk? It's affecting your appetite."

Liu Beishan: "..."

I'm not angry, I'm not angry at all.

But his expression was so sour and dark that anyone could tell the old man was barely suppressing his anger.

Liu Yufei almost burst out laughing; her grandfather's expression was just too funny.

She rarely saw her grandfather like this; could this be considered encountering Krypton?

Liu Beishan was extremely annoyed; this Ziming trying to fool him.

Ling Qiqi glanced at Ling Yi, then at the old man, and then exchanged a look with Liu Yufei before silently lowering her head to eat.

The meal ended in an eerie atmosphere.

The old man spoke again, asking, " Ling Yi, let's get straight to the point. I want you to become an instructor for the Heavenly Guard. Name your conditions."

"I don't have time!" Ling Yi refused.

"With the title of Heavenly Guard Instructor, no one will dare to touch you anymore."

"Unnecessary!"

"A villa in exchange for your cultivation technique. Not all of it, just anything that can make Heavenly Guard stronger."

Ling Yi remained silent!

The old man then asked, "What do you think of my granddaughter? How about she become your daughter-in-law?"

"Grandpa, are you just going to sell me off like this?" Liu Yufei said angrily, her face flushed and her feet stamping.
