Attacking the Nine Phoenix Pavilion, Falling into Crisis

Ye Long brought Shen Hui and Qingxue into the private room.

Inside were five other young people about the same age as Shen Hui and the others.

Shen Hui recognized three of them. If he remembered correctly, he had seen them at the practical test.

They had all ranked highly, making it into the top ten.

The other two young men had no World Origin aura about them. They were Common people.

But they carried an air of confidence, much like Ye Long and Xiao Xiangyan.

Ye Long introduced them warmly. "Brother Shen, Qingxue, these two are the future successors of the Wang Family and the Zhang Family."

They were the two Common people in the room.

But their status was anything but Common.

"Since neither of us awakened a world, we didn't take part in the practical test. But we heard about Shen Hui breaking the record long ago."

"And we heard Qingxue awakened the largest world. Now that we've met you, it's clear you're both talented and outstanding-truly a pair of rare young talents."

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Wang Caizhi. Since I didn't awaken a world, I had to start helping my family manage its affairs early."

"I hope we can work together someday."

Wang Caizhi introduced himself with a bright smile, then shook hands with Shen Hui and Qingxue in turn.

The other young man continued, "Since Old Wang's already said most of it, I won't say much more."

"My name is Zhang Yi. Like Old Wang, I'm helping my family manage its business."

"I hope we'll have a chance to work with Shen Hui and Qingxue in the future."

Neither of them put on airs. They were both very easygoing.

Ye Long then introduced the other three.

They were also from prominent families, but they weren't direct descendants. They had been raised and trained by their families.

Shen Hui spoke with each of them, getting to know them a little.

At least now he would know who they were if they met again.

"Let's head downstairs. The gathering should be starting soon."

Ye Long ushered everyone downstairs.

When they came out, Shen Hui saw that the floor below was even more crowded, though everyone there was around their age.

Following Shen Hui's gaze, Ye Long explained, "This is a gathering for the young people of our generation."

Shen Hui understood. No wonder he hadn't seen anyone older than them.

Once they went downstairs, some people recognized Shen Hui and came over to chat with him.

The three people who had cut in line outside were among them.

After all, one of the main purposes of the gathering was to help everyone build and strengthen their connections.

There were also special fruits available to eat.

They had all been gathered from various worlds.

It was extremely difficult to bring things or technology from the Creator World into reality.

The prevailing theory was that Blue Star's will and laws did not permit it.

Otherwise, the Blue Star where Shen Hui and the others lived would have been completely transformed long ago.

Research in this area was still ongoing.

So far, the World Association had only managed to extract some technology from technological worlds and apply it in reality.

It had also managed to extract some fruits and food into the world.

As time passed and everyone in the Nine Phoenix Pavilion chatted animatedly, five black-clad figures arrived outside and headed in.

The staff outside found their clothes strange.

Still, they politely asked to see their invitations.

The five black-clad figures stopped. One of them said, "Let me try."

As soon as he finished speaking, the space around the staff member rippled.

The patch of space seemed unchanged, yet stood out from its surroundings.

The next second, a gigantic tiger appeared out of thin air.

A deafening tiger's roar rang out. Before the staff member could react, the tiger bit him to death.

The nearby security guards noticed what was happening.

But they were completely stunned by the sudden turn of events.

How had a gigantic tiger suddenly appeared here?

The tiger was seven or eight meters long, and its powerful build made it obvious that it wasn't a Common creature!

Just as the guards were about to alert the others,

another gigantic tiger rushed out beside them, seemingly from nowhere.

It killed them with a single bite.

Everyone inside the Nine Phoenix Pavilion also heard the deafening tiger's roar from outside.

They were all confused. Why was there a tiger roaring here?

Qingxue asked Xiao Xiangyan beside her, "Did you bring in a tiger for a performance?"

Xiao Xiangyan shook her head. "No. I have no idea what's going on either."

Shen Hui frowned. He had just sensed a slight fluctuation in the space here.

It had affected his world.

"Something seems off. My world was just shaken by something. Did any of you feel that?"

Shen Hui asked uncertainly, wondering if they had felt it too.

At Shen Hui's words, Qingxue and the others focused on their senses.

Qingxue, Ye Long, Xiao Xiangyan, and the awakened people nearby all looked surprised.

"I felt it too. What happened?"

Someone asked, but as soon as the words left their mouth-

"Bang!"

A sudden, deafening crash came from the entrance.

A shower of broken stones and bricks flew out.

Everyone turned to look.

The entrance and the brickwork above it had all been destroyed.

A huge figure, nearly ten meters tall, stood there in the backlight.

Then came a tiger's roar so loud it made their eardrums ache, echoing throughout the building.

Once they saw the dark shape outside,

everyone was dumbstruck.

So there really was a tiger outside-but could a tiger that big actually exist in this world?

They still had no idea what was going on.

No one knew what to do.

But Shen Hui sensed something and spoke quietly.

"This tiger should be a magical creature born in the Creation World!"

At Shen Hui's words, Qingxue, Ye Long, and the others beside him were shocked and couldn't believe it.

"That can't be right. How could a creature from the Creation World appear in the real world?"

Just then, five black figures walked in through the destroyed entrance.

They stood in front of the gigantic tiger, making it clear that it was connected to them.

They made no effort to conceal the World Origin aura coming from their worlds.

Three of the five had Level Two worlds, and the other two had Level Three worlds.

"Well, I didn't expect there to be so many people at this gathering-and they're all young flowers, too."

"Hahaha! Killing them all would be even more satisfying than attacking the World Association!"

Just a few words made their intentions clear.

They had come looking for trouble!

But when they heard the men say they were going to attack the World Association, quite a few people found it laughable.

How could that be possible?

Someone at the gathering immediately shouted, "Who are you? What do you want?"

"Do you know how many people of noble status are here?"

"Exactly! Members of the four great families are here. You've picked the wrong place to cause trouble!"

"The World Association will have you arrested in a minute!"

Many people heard that and immediately stopped worrying.

Right, there were so many powerful families and factions here. Would these people really dare to cause trouble?

Besides, their world levels hadn't reached Level Five, so they couldn't forcibly invade other people's worlds.

The boost to the body from the World Origin's feedback wasn't very strong.

There were so many of them. They had nothing to fear!

The five men in black all smiled, completely unafraid.

"The World Association is coming after us? They really don't know what kind of situation they're in."

Shen Hui furrowed his brow, feeling that something was wrong.

He couldn't help thinking of the foreign races.

He immediately took out his phone, ready to contact the branch president, Chi Yan, and report what was happening here.

But when Shen Hui turned it on, he found there was no signal.

Ye Long was holding his phone too, ready to contact someone to deal with the situation.

But there was no signal on his either.

The two couldn't help exchanging a glance.

Many others were also trying to contact people from their respective families, but they were all in the same situation.

Looking at the five brazen men in black and the enormous tiger,

Shen Hui spoke in a low voice. "Something's not right. Let's get out of here first!"
