113: Chapter 113 Emerging from Seclusion, the Cauldron... Truly, a Victory for the Reformers! The Money-Giving Boy Arrives!

"Clang—!"

Within his mind, it was as if a bell tolling across the heavens and earth had rung out, deep and resonant.

Lu Qingyun slowly opened his eyes, his wise gaze tinged with a hint of... confusion.

This was his first time formally experiencing the Momentum of Heaven and Earth that one could only grasp after becoming a Sky-Walking Grandmaster.

It felt... very good.

He clenched his fist; his physical strength had already reached an exceptionally terrifying level.

And this was the foundation of everything.

If one were to compare the Momentum of Heaven and Earth to a race car being driven.

Then the skill level of the driver within often determines the amount of investment received and the quality of the race car itself.

Coupled with their own superb driving skills, the results obtained would far exceed those of others.

"I wonder, where do I stand now in this Ningan City..."

A flash of brilliance crossed Lu Qingyun's eyes, and before him, a brand-new system panel appeared.

[Host: Lu Qingyun]

4. Hierarchical Severity (As the future ultimate BOSS, it is absolutely impossible for an adventurer to commit insubordination! All living beings with a level below yours...)]

"Tripod... Truth..."

Lu Qingyun frowned; he had always considered himself a staunch supporter of the traditional faction.

But now, he was being told that his system seemed to be a thorough reformist, which made him feel betrayed!

"Forget it, a remnant of the old era like me still has to adapt to the times."

Lu Qingyun's furrowed brow gradually smoothed out after seeing a certain column on the panel, even becoming somewhat benevolent.

[Free Attribute Points: 5]

Distributed evenly, never biased.

After adding the points and seeing the ten Tripods and ten Truths displayed above, Lu Qingyun could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth.

This thing was far more useful than those one or two attribute points.

With the "Double Ten" in hand, he no longer remained in seclusion, but walked out with his head held high!

From today on, this Ningan City... will be ruled by him, Lu Qingyun!!

It doesn't matter who comes!!

Wait... how many days has it been...

After making some inquiries and learning that Qin Fenghuo was still hanging around the Ning Family.

Lu Qingyun silently reined in his arrogant demeanor.

Hmm, the sun above is truly blue...

Just at this moment, upon learning that Lu Qingyun had emerged from seclusion, Shi Jian hurried over.

He reported the various situations, both big and small, that had occurred in Ningan City over the past few days to Lu Qingyun.

In just a few days, the entire landscape of Ningan City could be described as having been turned upside down!

In a short span of time, the six major Yukong families, plus the two from not long ago, a total of eight Yukong family powers, had been frantically snatched up!

Various factions were almost beating each other's brains out.

Although it is said that when a whale falls, all things flourish, since this whale wouldn't die, the remains of other large fish were enough for a feast.

However, with the approach of the Martial Examination, the authorities stepped in to call a halt, and things calmed down.

Nowadays, the most talked-about topic is the conclusion of this year's Tianjiao Camp.

It is said that this year's batch produced quite a few ruthless characters.

There is one who, after being exiled by their family, returned strongly and ultimately directly replaced the original heir to become the new heir.

"Supervisor, the number one of this year's Tianjiao Camp, Young Master Dong, says he is an old acquaintance of yours and has been waiting in the venue for two days."

"Furthermore, he... has also brought a box, which seems to be a thank-you gift for you."

After spending this time together, Shi Jian naturally had some understanding of Lu Qingyun's character.

Therefore, he specifically chose to talk about things that could attract Lu Qingyun's attention.

Sure enough, upon hearing the last sentence, Lu Qingyun turned around directly, his eyes filled with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Why didn't you say so earlier for such an important matter!!"

"My brother is here, and you actually made him wait for me for so long!! How can I, as his big brother, live with this!!"

"Quick!! Where is he, take me to him immediately!!"

Lu Qingyun had almost forgotten about this little fatty himself, but after Shi Jian mentioned it, he immediately remembered this angel investor!

After all, the Fuming Chamber of Commerce truly has strength; it is said that they have as many as three Sky-Walking Grandmasters guarding them!

...

(Damn it, could it be that I really have to use this last chance to defy fate after more than 200,000 words of testing? ๐·°(৹˃̵﹏˂̵৹)°·๐)
