Fang Yu took another stroll nearby but found nothing special, so he left the scene.

In fact, after a time-themed secret realm explosion, no monsters appear, and there's nothing to worry about.

Just as Fang Yu took a few steps.

A voice came from behind—

"Hey."

"Huh?"

Fang Yu turned around and saw a ponytailed girl and a young man approaching.

Judging from their dusty appearance, they seemed to have just dodged a disaster.

"Are you calling me?" Fang Yu pointed to himself.

"Duh, who else would we be calling?" The girl rolled her eyes, looking quite familiar.

They walked up to Fang Yu, sizing him up. The girl asked, "Hey, do you have your own territory and forces?"

Fang Yu shook his head and didn't speak.

Fang Yu was cautious around strangers.

The girl sighed, "You're a modern person, right? I saw you using a phone, I shouldn't have asked! Anyway, this is my cousin, Tang Hao, and I'm Tang Xue. Since you're alone, are you interested in forming a team? With the world like this, you must know surviving alone is tough."

Fang Yu chuckled, "I have friends to join, no need to team up."

"Joining?"

Tang Xue laughed out loud, "Handsome guy, now it's hard to say who you can rely on. My cousin and I are planning to try our luck at Tiandu Mountain. I heard Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain is decent, and if we can join him, safety and life are guaranteed. Plus I heard Emperor Yu's subordinates are spread across the Nine Provinces of Huaxia, and there's a team specializing in studying secret realms. We're definitely right to go there."

"Tiandu Mountain?" Fang Yu was taken aback, he was originally planning to return to Tiandu Mountain and didn't expect them to want to go there too.

"Of course! Haven't you heard of Tiandu Mountain? Since the secret realms erupted, spiritual energy is everywhere, and cultivators are springing up like bamboo shoots, martial artists are everywhere... they say Tiandu Mountain is not to be messed with. Many people want to join but are said to be blocked by some invisible wall." Tang Xue said.

"Oh."

Fang Yu chuckled inwardly, that was the Ancient Formation, how could ordinary people possibly break it?

Seeing his attitude.

Tang Xue rolled her eyes, "What's with you, don't you know manners? I'm trying to talk to you, and you just say oh?"

"What do you want?" Fang Yu couldn't help but find it amusing.

"I'm asking if you want to join us to Tiandu Mountain? It takes a long time to walk from Jiangzhou to Tiandu Mountain, who knows what monsters we might encounter on the way, it's faster by car. The three of us can form a team and look out for each other." Tang Xue said.

So that's what this was about.

Fang Yu nodded, "Sure, I can do that!"

After all, he was planning to return to Tiandu Mountain anyway.

"Then it's settled. I warn you, don't use those cultivators' so-called Dark Forest Law to trick us!" Tang Xue glared.

Beside her, the cousin spread his hands and said, "Brother, my cousin doesn't lie to you, the last guy who wanted to team up was killed by her... he tried to rob us, you say it's funny."

Fang Yu nodded, "Don't worry, why would I rob you... let's go."

Tang Hao nodded, "You're teachable... So, what power did you awaken?"

"Power?"

"Duh, almost everyone has awakened their powers. If you don't say, how do we know you're not holding us back?" Tang Xue rolled her eyes, "I feel like you don't know anything, I'm curious how you survived till now. Speechless!"

Fang Yu patted his forehead, "Oh… that! I awakened speed! I'm super fast!"

"Show me." Tang Xue crossed her arms.

"Alright..."

Whoosh!

Like the wind.

Fang Yu quickly stood in front of Tang Xue, looking into her eyes with a smile.

Both were stunned like wooden chickens.

Fang Yu had restrained his speed, knowing they were newly awakened superpower users, so he didn't overdo it.

Just didn't expect that even this speed would shock them.

After a moment.

Tang Xue coughed, "Not bad... Stay away from me!"

Fang Yu stepped back.

Tang Xue asked, "Any other powers?"

"Nope."

"Then your ability is just for running away! Almost useless... we need someone who can fight. Don't get blocked midway." Tang Xue pondered.

Hearing they needed more people.

Fang Yu waved, "No need, I can fight."

"You can?" Tang Xue was surprised.

Fang Yu walked to a collapsed wall nearby, raised his fist, and punched. Bang! The brick shattered.

Both were stunned again.

"This..."

"Didn't you say you didn't have other powers?" Tang Xue said, slightly annoyed.

"I trained for this! Not awakened! Look at my hands, you'll know..." Fang Yu explained.

In over a thousand years in the secret realm, enduring harsh conditions. Those hands no longer looked like flesh! They were practically dark iron fists!

Fang Yu could use spiritual energy to fix them, but he felt that such fists suited his Iron Fist King name.

"Impressive! Alright, you're in... let's go." Tang Xue nodded.

"What's your power?" Fang Yu asked curiously.

Tang Xue cleared her throat, "I can communicate with animals."

"... " Fang Yu.

"I'm strong! Watch!" Tang Hao lifted a stone nearby and with a whoosh, threw it into the sea.

Fang Yu said to Tang Xue, "Seems like you're the most useless."

"Mind your own business... pot calling the kettle black, we're just as useless. If you hadn't trained your fists, you wouldn't be much better... If you don't want to, leave, we'll keep looking for teammates!" Tang Xue said proudly.

"Alright, alright... Let's do as you say." Fang Yu said.

They found a car on the roadside and sped towards Tiandu Mountain.

The first two hours went smoothly without incident.

On the road.

Fang Yu asked, "What if Tiandu Mountain doesn't want you?"

Tang Xue chuckled, "Didn't you say my awakened power is useless? With so many experts at Tiandu Mountain, they won't want someone like you. But someone like me is rare..."

"Cousin's right... but brother, don't be discouraged, it's worth trying your luck." Tang Hao said.

"Alright..."

The car left Jiangzhou, heading out of the suburbs.

They entered a forested area.

As the car approached a small bridge—

"This road was opened by me, this tree was planted by me, if you want to pass... leave a toll!"

Whoosh.

Whoosh whoosh.

From the woods beyond the small bridge, ten or so people sprang out, some holding homemade guns, others wielding large knives.

"Damn! Xiao Hao, your jinx came true, we've run into robbers, turn around quickly—"
