47: This young man is not to be trifled with!

“Goodbye!”

Wang Chen touched his nose, watching the magic hovercar drive away.

Situ Yu, that wicked rich girl, didn't even give him a chance to hitch a ride.

“It seems, Ice Purity, we still have to take the light rail back.”

Noticing little Ice Purity looking wistfully at the departing feeder official, Wang Chen poked her small head.

“Woo woo!”

The little guy covered her head with her wings, chirping unhappily.

Finally, she furtively poked her head out, a little confused why her master hadn't continued his 'poisonous hands'.

“Woo woo!”

“Alright, let's head back quickly after turning in the quest!”

When the distant magic hovercar completely disappeared from sight, Wang Chen carried Ice Purity and boarded the light rail heading to the Adventurer's Guild.

At the same time.

The figure in the back seat of the magic hovercar also withdrew her gaze.

“Uncle, do you think the gap between people is really that big?”

Situ Yu leaned back in her seat, somewhat lost in thought.

Hearing her words, a somewhat cynical-looking young man sitting next to her looked surprised.

“What? Little girl, have you experienced so much in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range that you're having life epiphanies?”

“Is it related to that kid just now?”

Situ Yu's uncle, Situ Haoran, had a gossipy expression on his face.

At the same time, he also sized up his niece, whom he hadn't seen in nearly a month.

Hmm…

Although she looked a bit disheveled, her overall temperament had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Shedding her naivete, she already looked like a powerful Awakener.

It was just that the expression on her face at this moment was still a bit troubled, with a hint of a young girl's demeanor.

Hearing her uncle's words, Situ Yu pouted unhappily.

Seeing this, Situ Haoran understood.

“I told you long ago that the gap between you and that kid was too big, but you wouldn't listen.”

“This time, I covered for you with the family to let you go out and train with him. Do you feel like all the past good times are gone?”

“It's okay, this is just a small setback in your life. Your future path is still very long.”

“You two are destined not to be people from the same world.”

Seeing his niece's low spirits, Situ Haoran comforted her.

“Yes.”

“We are indeed no longer on the same level.”

Situ Yu nodded, her expression very complex.

He.

Will he leave me far behind in the future?

Thinking silently, Situ Yu turned her head to look at the scenery flying past outside the window.

At this moment, she thought of the thrilling scene in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range where Ice Purity unfurled her Dragon body to crush wild monsters, and she thought of that young man's endless masterful combat techniques.

To the side.

Situ Haoran looked at his niece, a look of old-age contentment on his face.

She finally understood!

You two will not have a future!

It was worth it for me, your uncle, to risk being beaten by my elder brother to arrange for you two to enter the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range.

...

As soon as he walked into the Morning Dawn Adventurer's Guild hall, Wang Chen felt a lively atmosphere wash over him.

Awakeners came and went, gathered together, either discussing the gains from their last quest, or calling friends for a big drink...

Seeing this, a hint of emotion flashed in Wang Chen's eyes.

Humans are indeed social beings, no matter how strong their power, that cannot change!

Thinking silently, he strode towards the front desk.

“Huh? Isn't this the handsome young man who took two D-rank quests that day? He actually came back alive?”

Just then, a female Awakener saw Wang Chen walk in and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Although newly-transferred novices were common in the Adventurer's Guild, Wang Chen's outstanding appearance, even after a month, still left a deep impression on many people.

“It really is him? This kid is quite lucky; he came back unscathed after taking a D-rank quest right after transferring.”

“Not necessarily; looking at him now, maybe he failed the quest and came to the Adventurer's Guild to cancel it.”

“By the way, why is he alone? I remember there was a pretty young lady with him that day.”

“Could it be that the young lady died in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, and he ran back alone?”

“Very likely. The Golden Scaled Python is an almost unbeatable enemy for these novices. For this kid to come back unharmed, he likely abandoned his teammate!”

“...”

Discussions in the hall were incessant, and many Awakeners pointed at Wang Chen.

For a novice like Wang Chen, who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, all the Awakeners were disdainful, not believing that he would complete a difficult D-rank quest.

Especially when a certain Awakener proposed a guess, many people's eyes became even more contemptuous.

Although injuries and deaths were inevitable in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, abandoning teammates was absolutely the most despicable act among them.

Originally, Wang Chen didn't bother to pay attention to the surrounding discussions.

But after hearing their guess, he couldn't help but pause, looking over with cold eyes.

“Everyone, don't speak carelessly without evidence!”

“Otherwise, I don't mind suing you for defamation!”

Wang Chen looked around, his gaze like a knife sweeping over those who were making wild guesses.

Swept by his gaze, those Awakeners instinctively took a step back.

From that look, they felt an extremely chilling killing intent.

However, the next second, these Awakeners' faces flushed red, glaring at Wang Chen.

Damn it, they had been in the Adventurer's Guild for many years, and now they were scared by a kid who hadn't even fully matured. How would they ever get by in the future?

However, before they could even open their mouths to save face, they saw that kid place a bloody head on the front desk.

Then, a calm voice echoed in the hall.

“Please help me settle the quest, and also, I want to claim the bounty for the Hyena Squad!”

Hyena Squad?

These four words seemed to have some kind of magic spell, instantly attracting the attention of all the Awakeners in the hall.

“This... this is the Hyena Boss's head?!!!”

“This young man, he actually killed the Hyena Boss?”

“He must be crazy, that's a level 50 villain of the Second Transfer, how could he, a novice, possibly do it?”

“...”

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire hall exploded, everyone's faces showing extreme disbelief.

The Hyena Squad had been on the wanted list for a full five years, and even the official hunting teams from Dongling City hadn't been able to take them down.

But today, their leader's head was brought in by a newly-transferred novice to claim the reward?

At this moment, the faces of those Awakeners who wanted to cause trouble changed drastically, and they quickly scurried out of the hall with their tails between their legs, not daring to stay for another moment.

And to the side, those Awakeners who had looked displeased earlier now looked at Wang Chen with less arrogance, a hint of reverence in their eyes.

This young man is not to be trifled with!
