There are differences even among geniuses.

"Placement Crystal!" Luo Yushang looked at the crystal, clear as water, in her hands.

"Is this the reward for a perfect clear?"

Lin Yandong stood to the side, watching eagerly, his eyes almost glued to the crystal.

Luo Yushang raised her hand and placed the crystal into Lin Yandong's hand.

"President Lin, I think the Professionals Association needs to be expanded."

"Expand, we must expand." Lin Yandong carefully put away the Placement Crystal.

"The current space is indeed a bit cramped."

"Brother Lin has created another Dungeon today; if we don't expand, there won't be anywhere to place it."

"Let me thank Brother Lin on behalf of the Professionals of Tianfeng City."

"Once the Blood Ring Arena is placed, the Professional Forum of Tianfeng City will be in an uproar again."

Cui Xianglong patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder. "You kid, you're truly awesome."

"Mu Tianxing only rose to prominence after his first class transfer."

"But you, you reached the peak the moment you awakened."

"And it's getting more and more ridiculous."

"I see you've reached level 20; it's time to prepare for your Class Transfer Mission."

"No Summoner has ever passed the Class Transfer Mission before; I hope you can break this curse."

If it were any other profession performing like Lin Yuan, there would be no need to worry about the Class Transfer Mission failing.

But Lin Yuan was a Summoner.

No one in this profession had ever completed the Class Transfer Mission.

Summoners who had previously participated in the Class Transfer Mission didn't even know what they had encountered, which led to the Class Transfer Mission for Summoners remaining a mystery.

Even though Lin Yuan's performance was stunning enough, Cui Xianglong was still a bit worried that Lin Yuan wouldn't be able to complete the mission.

If Lin Yuan were unable to change classes, it would be a huge loss for the Xia Kingdom.

"President Cui, let's make a bet," Lin Yuan smiled.

"If I can change classes, you treat me to a meal."

"That goose from last time was good; get a few more this time."

"No problem." Cui Xianglong patted his chest. "I can even cover that whole flock of geese, no problem."

"Won't President Lin be heartbroken to death?" Lin Yuan teased.

"You kid, you finally admitted it." Cui Xianglong laughed heartily.

"I can still remember the look on Old Lin's face when he wanted to get angry but couldn't."

Lin Yandong punched Cui Xianglong in the chest. "You guys are all bad people."

"You figured it out but didn't tell me. I ate half a goose by myself; do I even have the face to be angry?"

"Brother Lin, I've recently raised a flock of geese in Hubei, all prepared for you."

"Hahahaha." Lin Yuan laughed. "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, brother."

"Hey, we're all family, why be so formal?" Lin Yandong chided.

The bigwigs of Tianfeng City surrounded Lin Yuan, speaking to him as an equal, without any intention of treating him as a junior.

The surrounding Professionals looked at each other, not feeling that there was anything wrong with this.

This world was just like that: if you are strong, you are the boss; if you are weak, whatever you say is wrong.

Xiao Bin of the Dawn Sword Guild stood at the very edge of the group of Professionals.

He watched Lin Yuan chatting and laughing with the bigwigs, feeling as if it were a different lifetime.

Just a few days ago, Lin Yuan was still a newly awakened Summoner, looked down upon by everyone.

And he, Xiao Bin, was a rising star nurtured by the Dawn Sword Guild with heavy investment.

The two should never have had any intersection in their lives.

On that day at the Skeleton Graveyard, Xiao Bin learned that there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond the heaven.

The Nightmare difficulty Skeleton Graveyard that they couldn't conquer despite their best efforts, Lin Yuan had cleared perfectly with ease.

He had thought that if he worked hard enough, he would one day catch up to the other's footsteps.

What was despairing was that after today, Xiao Bin couldn't even see the other's shadow anymore.

No, it wasn't that he couldn't see it; it was that they were from completely different worlds.

Lin Yuan was a bright moon in the night sky, while Xiao Bin was just a crucian carp in the vast sea.

Vice President Chen Ming sensed the change in Xiao Bin's mood and patted his shoulder hard.

"What are you spacing out for?"

"You should be grateful to have been born in the same city as Lin Yuan."

"If it weren't for him, you wouldn't even be able to see the Divine Blessing Dungeon at this level."

Chen Ming took a model of an off-road vehicle from his backpack and threw it on the ground. The model landed and instantly grew larger.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Chen Ming waved for the others to get in.

"Have you memorized the strategy for the Fierce Mountain Imperial Ruins? If you have, let's go back and join the group."

"Don't spend all day thinking about those useless things."

Hearing Chen Ming's words, Xiao Bin pulled himself out of his low mood.

Seeing this, Chen Ming started the car and drove toward Tianfeng City.

While driving, Chen Ming's thoughts returned to his own youth. Chen Ming had also experienced Xiao Bin's state of mind.

Geniuses—who wasn't a genius?

But there exists an insurmountable chasm between one genius and another.

People like this are called monsters. In front of a monster, a genius is merely at the threshold of being able to meet them.

...

Returning to Tianfeng City, Lin Yuan went straight back to Longding Residential Area.

Passing by the lake, he saw Mu Tianxing wearing a straw hat, lying on a lounge chair, looking extremely comfortable.

Lin Yuan walked closer and showed a look of surprise.

"President Mu?"

"Where did you get this essential oil spa done?"

"You look like you've become twenty years younger."

Mu Tianxing opened his eyes, discovered it was Lin Yuan, and sat up.

"Making a fuss out of nothing."

"This is my original appearance."

"Do you really think I'm an old man? I'm only 36."

"Luo Yushang is a year younger than me, 35."

Luo Yushang, standing to the side, looked displeased. Having her age exposed openly in public—

"No one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak." Luo Yushang crossed her arms over her chest, her voice cold.

Mu Tianxing scratched his head and laughed.

"Forgot, can't mention a woman's actual age in front of her."

"Especially a woman over 30."

"Mu Tianxing!" Luo Yushang's hand was already resting on the hilt of her sword, eyeing Mu Tianxing up and down, looking for a place to cut that wouldn't be fatal but would bring indelible pain.

"I was wrong!" Mu Tianxing immediately begged for mercy.

"Let's talk business."

After a pause, Mu Tianxing looked at Luo Yushang.

"The Dark Knight Guild already knows the news of my appearance in Tianfeng City."

"I believe it won't be long before they come knocking."

Luo Yushang showed a thoughtful expression.

"You want to use yourself as bait to wipe them all out?"

"Exactly." Mu Tianxing nodded.

"How much certainty do you have?"

"One hundred percent."

Luo Yushang raised an eyebrow. "Has your curse power been removed?"

"Not yet." Mu Tianxing shook his head. "But I can remove it at any time."

"Before they come, I cannot fully remove it."

"Once the curse power is completely removed, I will become the first human Professional to complete the third class transfer."

"If those scumbags from the Dark Knight Guild know I have successfully changed classes, they certainly won't dare to show up."
