Yang Yan could naturally hear these people's discussions, but his face always bore a faint smile as he followed Eevee into the depths of the forest.

There was a tent here, which seemed to be the residence of the burly man.

Yang Yan first reached out to touch the tent, then poked his head inside for a look.

"Kid, have you seen enough? If so, you can take off your clothes."

"Of course, if you're unwilling, I'm more than happy to help you take them off."

Having come this far, the burly man couldn't help but reveal his true nature, rubbing his hands together with a lecherous grin as he spoke.

"The surroundings aren't bad. Looking at this tent and the things inside, they all seem new. Thank you, I'm very satisfied."

Yang Yan looked at the man with a smile, speaking with an inscrutable tone.

"Kid, are you out of your mind? Do you know who I am?!"

The burly man, sensing Yang Yan's unusual aura, stared intently at Yang Yan and coldly spoke.

"Heh!"

Yang Yan let out two cold laughs and said casually:

"I don't care who or what you are. But, since these things are new, you can scram now!"

"You're asking for death!"

The burly man was infuriated.

He had never been so belittled before.

Especially since this person was someone he had marked as prey.

"You don't cherish the chance given to you. Trash like you—I can take on a hundred with one hand."

Yang Yan sneered, extending his left hand with a grasping motion toward the burly man.

The burly man in front of him floated in mid-air, crying out in agony.

With Yang Yan's left hand extended, the burly man was like someone choking him.

"Ah! Forgive me! Spare me!"

The burly man's legs hung off the ground, his face twisted with pain, as he struggled desperately with both hands.

"Killing scum like you would just dirty my hands."

Yang Yan snorted and then released his left hand.

The burly man fell to his knees with a thud, clutching his neck and gasping for air as if he had been saved from death.

"Who... who are you really?!"

The burly man stared at Yang Yan in terror, his words stuttering.

"If I hear you killing others again, I'll let you know that death is actually a blessing."

Yang Yan didn't answer the man's question but instead gave a death-like cold smile, speaking chillingly.

"I understand, I understand! Don't worry, I won't dare do it again."

After hearing Yang Yan's words, the burly man didn't say another word and ran straight towards the seaside.

The methods Yang Yan had shown just now really scared him.

He had never seen anyone control another's life so easily.

And to think, he was an A-level powerhouse!

"Disgusting fellow."

Upon seeing him run off, Yang Yan scornfully remarked.

Of course, it wasn't out of mercy that Yang Yan spared the burly man, but rather he silently left a sliver of power within him.

This power might not seem like much usually.

However, if the burly man continued to kill others, it would transform into a hellfire, burning him clean from flesh to soul.

After all, the words of Yang Yan under the Moonlight were not just empty threats.

Entering the burly man's tent, Yang Yan stretched lazily, then began to sleep soundly.

The night passed by peacefully.

Early the next morning, Yang Yan woke up.

He had to admit, though the burly man was a pervert, his standards for living quality were quite high.

The tent and the sleeping bag inside showed that the man definitely spent a fortune on them.

Though he himself had just set them up, they ended up benefiting Yang Yan.

"Brother, you're awake."

Just as Yang Yan was about to exercise a bit, outside the tent, a big Fatty sat there staring at him dumbfoundedly.

From the dew on him, Yang Yan could see this guy had been waiting there for quite some time.

"You're here? Did you eat yet? If not, there's some food inside."

Yang Yan looked at Fatty, smiling gently.

"That's great! I've been hungry since last night till now."

Upon hearing Yang Yan mention food, Fatty scrambled into the tent eagerly.

"Not so fast. What about the task I gave you?"

Yang Yan looked at Fatty, smilingly asking.

"Hehe! Brother's orders, how could I not accomplish them?"

Fatty smiled fawningly with a bit of pride in his voice:

"You asked me to investigate as many people on this island as possible, and last night I walked the whole night, gathering all the information I could find into this."

Fatty spoke, patting his backpack lightly.

The backpack held his essential gear: that laptop.

"You should know how bizarre those guys are. Even sleeping, they set traps, making it hard for me to spy."

Fatty spoke as he shamelessly gobbled up the food from the tent.

It was clear he had indeed toiled all night.

Yesterday, Yang Yan had tasked him to investigate everyone on the island, to see if there were any of those black-robed figures.

If there were, it would be a pleasant surprise.

If not, it would still serve as research on the data of today's competitors.

"Brother, let me tell you, if you hadn't asked me to investigate, I wouldn't have known there were so many young powerhouses in the world. They're not even fifty!"

Fatty remarked with genuine amazement as he ate.

"That's very normal!"

Yang Yan lightly chuckled, indifferently replying:

"How vast is this world? Not to mention Hidden World, even in the mundane world there are many extraordinary individuals. Besides, there's an even grander Hidden World."

He said, his eyes always on the laptop screen, quickly reading and analyzing, absorbing the information he sought.

"Hehe! You have no idea how lively the seaside was last night!"

Fatty stuffed a huge piece of luncheon meat into his mouth, mumbling with a smile.

"What do you mean by that?"

Yang Yan gave Fatty a quizzical look, then continued carefully looking at the computer.

"The announcement of the competition only went out two days ago, many people didn't know at first."

"However, last night many factions' representatives arrived. Especially the Huaxia forces — their numbers and lineup were quite impressive!"

Fatty said with a smile.

Though looking at Yang Yan, his eyes carried a somewhat profound meaning.

"You mean a lot of Huaxia forces arrived last night?"
