Breeze City, within the Xingyun Kingdom, is a massive city with clustered buildings and a population scale close to ten million, rivaling one-third of the territory of the Black Dragon Country in the Yulan Domain.
And the most famous in Breeze City is the Wang Family.
Half a year ago, the Wang Family produced an expert of the Void Martial Realm. Since then, their fame shook the Xingyun Kingdom, ranking just after the Eighteen Great Families and could possibly replace them at any moment, holding limitless potential.
"Xiao Ye, did you hear that?"
In a tavern in Breeze City, Kuang Dao, hearing the people around discussing the Wang Family, spoke to Xiao Ye with a smile.
Xiao Ye nodded. Indeed, the Wang Family was not simple; considered a rising star among families and with a Void Martial Realm Expert sitting in power, a dominant rise in the future would not be difficult.
"Kuang Dao, are you planning to visit the Wang Family?" Xiao Ye asked.
Kuang Dao had brought him to Breeze City, with the intent to witness the stature of the Genius Camp. However, from what Xiao Ye sensed about Kuang Dao, his tone was always bold, so Xiao Ye was somewhat skeptical that even the identity of the Genius Camp must bow before a Void Martial Realm Expert.
Draining the wine from his cup, Kuang Dao stood up with a chuckle, "Come with me and you’ll see."
With that, Kuang Dao walked out of the tavern, and Xiao Ye quickly followed.
The two walked side by side on the street, where most were Mystic Martial Martial Artists, and few were of the Innate Realm. They did not stand out in the crowd.
Soon, the view ahead suddenly opened up; a grandly built mansion lay before them, with bright red doors and shining door nails.
At the entrance of the mansion stood two burly men with sharp gazes like knives and radiating immense energy fluctuations that made other Martial Artists consciously avoid the area, as if facing wrathful beasts.
Without much guessing, this was the Wang Family Mansion.
"At least Third Transition Xuanwu Realm Martial Artists!" Xiao Ye scanned the two burly men and couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.
Considering the cultivation of these two, they would be of King Level in the Yulan Domain, yet now they were just gatekeepers here; such a disparity left Xiao Ye speechless.
"Xiao Ye, let’s go in," Kuang Dao said and then stepped towards the Wang Family Mansion.
The two burly men at the door noticed Kuang Dao and Xiao Ye, their sharp gazes turned towards them.
"This is the Wang Residence, no loitering for irrelevant people. If you wish to visit, state your names and wait outside," one of the men commanded loudly, quite rudely.
Since the birth of a Void Martial Realm expert in the Wang Family, people came to visit daily, so the guard mistook Kuang Dao and Xiao Ye as visitors.
With a Void Martial Realm expert present, even if Kuang Dao and Xiao Ye looked extraordinary, they were still very confident.
"Have me wait at the doorway? The Wang Family indeed puts on great airs!" Kuang Dao snorted coldly, his steps unfaltering, he continued towards the gate.
The expressions of the two burly men changed, and they couldn’t help but roar, "Looking for a beating!"
With that, they simultaneously stepped forward, charging at Kuang Dao.
A cold flash in Kuang Dao’s eyes: "Just you two daring to lay hands on me? Truly courting death!"
As he spoke, Kuang Dao slightly lifted his hand and thrust out a punch.
That punch was intensely bright, its terrifying wave surged like a roaring river, blowing the two men away, blood spraying wildly, shattering the gate.
"You..." The two burly men fell to the ground, looking at Kuang Dao approaching step by step, both shocked and angry.
What shocked them was Kuang Dao’s cultivation, far surpassing theirs.
And they were angry because, the Wang Family having a Void Martial Realm expert stationed, yet Kuang Dao dared to attack them; it was effectively slapping the Wang Family’s face.
"That’s really domineering!" Xiao Ye stared at Kuang Dao’s retreating figure, greatly surprised, showing no regard for the Wang Family.
The commotion at the gate, of course, did not escape the Wang Family’s notice. Moments later, figures emerged from the mansion, shrouded with powerful auras, encircling Xiao Ye and Kuang Dao like a tide.
"Young man, assaulting someone on my Wang Family’s grounds, your behavior is a bit excessive. You better offer us an explanation, otherwise..." The lead Martial Artist came forward, looking sternly at Kuang Dao.
"Want an explanation, huh? Alright, here it is!" Kuang Dao stared at the man, a strange smile emerging on his face.
The next moment, Kuang Dao vanished from his spot. Subsequently, sounds of muffled impacts and screams echoed; Kuang Dao appeared beside that Martial Artist, kicking him flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Anyone else needs an explanation from me?" Kuang Dao stood proudly, surveying his surroundings, loudly asked.
The Wang Family’s Martial Artists were all stunned, too arrogant.
Without a word exchanged, he resorted to hands, and the speed of Kuang Dao was too fast for them to see clearly.
"Who exactly is this person?" This was the question popping into all the present Wang Family Martial Artists’ minds.
Kuang Dao’s cultivation was strong, but clearly not yet advanced to the Void Martial Realm, yet he dared to act so presumptuously at the Wang Family, it wasn’t foolishness, then it must be reliance.
"Never mind who he is, kill him!" a Wang Family Martial Artist shouted loudly, immediately drawing a chorus of agreement, and they charged towards Kuang Dao.
They had been attacked in their own home; if the Wang Family didn’t respond now, they wouldn’t be able to hold their heads up in Xingyun Kingdom anymore.
"Hehe, bring it!" Kuang Dao laughed, not even drawing the long saber behind him, his fists flew back and forth, sending all the Martial Artists who approached him flying.
Although the cultivation of these Wang Family Martial Artists wasn’t bad, there were very few who could compare to Kuang Dao. Furthermore, with Kuang Dao’s ability to fight across higher realms, no one could even match up to him.
The Wang Family was not truly one of the Eighteen Great Families after all; they had developed for too short a time and their resources somewhat couldn’t keep up.
For a moment, the dull sounds of impacts and screams filled the area, as Kuang Dao’s fists blew away the Wang Family Martial Artists, knocking down a large group.
"You’re going too far, young man!"
Just then, the surrounding void suddenly trembled. A man wearing a brocade robe, whose gaze was commanding without anger, stepped out from the mansion, his presence swirling like the abyss.
With a wave of his palm, all the Martial Artists blown away by Kuang Dao were gently caught by a soft force.
"This kid has gone too far, you must defeat him!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, the Wang Family Martial Artists shouted as if they had seen a savior.
"A Nine-Revolution Profound Martial expert, is he the Family Head of the Wang Family, Wang Tao?" Xiao Ye looked at the man in the brocade robe, his heart tightening and his expression becoming solemn.
The cultivation of Wang Tao was no weaker than Kuang Dao’s, and with many Wang Family Martial Artists present, it wouldn’t be easy for Kuang Dao next.
Seeing the miserable state of the Wang Family Martial Artists, cold lights flashed in Wang Tao’s eyes, but they soon retracted, leaving his gaze calm and undisturbed.
He slightly raised his hand, quelling the Wang Family Martial Artists’ shouting, and finally said to Kuang Dao: "Young man, for someone of your age to have such cultivation is truly extraordinary. Even scions of the Eighteen Great Families don’t have your capability."
Kuang Dao, hearing these words, replied sarcastically: "You trying to probe my origins? If I said I’m affiliated with no sect, would you immediately attack me?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Tao’s breath stalled, his heart filled with irritation.
Indeed, that was his thought; considering Kuang Dao’s young age yet profound cultivation, one could guess his extraordinary background even without much thinking. As the Family Head of the Wang clan, it was natural for him to investigate before making a move.
"You’re quite clever, young man. Since that’s the case, then tell me the purpose of your visit to the Wang Family and your identity, or else don’t plan on leaving today," Wang Tao said with narrowed eyes and a grave tone.
"My purpose is simple. My brothers and I just ran out of Mid-Grade Primordial Stones during our cultivation, and we planned to borrow some from your Wang Family’s Void Martial Realm expert," Kuang Dao said with a slight smile.
At these words, a deadly silence fell over the scene, and the Wang Family Martial Artists looked at Kuang Dao as if they were looking at an idiot.
Even Xiao Ye was left dumbfounded.
Kuang Dao had beaten up a large number of Wang Family Martial Artists and still had the audacity to ask for Mid-Grade Primordial Stones from the family’s Void Martial Realm expert? This was brazenness without limits.
"Young man, are you joking?" Wang Tao’s face darkened, feeling like he was being played.
If this matter wasn’t handled well today, the Wang Family would become the joke of Xingyun Kingdom.
"I’m not one to joke. You should recognize this, shouldn’t you?" Kuang Dao said, slightly smiling as he took out a golden token and tossed it to Wang Tao.
"Cut it out, that broken token, you think it would make us let him go? Dream on!" a Wang Family Martial Artist disdainfully said.
Wang Tao caught it, his eyes fixed on the golden token, his body trembling and his face drastically changing as he looked at Kuang Dao in shock.
"Now you know my identity, right? So go and have your Wang Family’s Void Martial Realm expert prepare a thousand Mid-Grade Primordial Stones to bring out," Kuang Dao said casually.
"Alright, Young Hero, please wait a moment, I’ll go prepare it," Wang Tao respectfully gave the token back to Kuang Dao and then quickly returned to the inside of the mansion.
The Wang Family Martial Artists’ mockery stopped abruptly, their eyes widening as if they had seen a ghost.
The previously furious Family Head had completely changed his attitude after seeing that token. What was going on?
Then, an even more shocking scene occurred.
"Haha, it has long been heard that Lord Starfall has been seeking geniuses everywhere to form the Genius Camp. Today, to meet such a junior, I am truly fortunate across three lifetimes!" An elder, glowing all over, stepping on empty air, walked out from within the depths of the Wang Family Mansion, then bowed to Kuang Dao.
At the sight of the elder, the expressions of the Wang Family Martial Artists became extremely animated, with excitement, shock, and disbelief...
Their Elder Ancestor, who had reached the Void Martial Realm, was treating Kuang Dao with such courtesy, as if the earlier episode had never happened.
Xiao Ye’s pupils shrank, followed by a speechless expression, finally understanding just how dreadful the Genius Camp was.
