"Number One, I've arrived at the Future City District. Ling Feng is still in the sleep pod, and I haven't seen him yet."

"Protect him well. He is South City's hope."

"Shadow understands!"

A silhouette landed atop a residence in Future City.

His gaze fell towards the sleep chamber. Based on fundamental information monitoring, he knew Ling Feng was lying inside.

Today, he was far beyond Jiangbei Province, executing a mission in a forbidden area, when he received an order from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance to enter Jiangbei Province for a task.

It wasn't until he entered South City that he learned his mission was to protect a high school martial arts student named Ling Feng.

He quickly gathered information about Ling Feng's whereabouts and received details about Ling Feng's appearance.

Thus, he blended into the darkness, watching every move inside the sleep chamber.

The department he belonged to was responsible for protecting several prodigies, preventing them from being killed by powerful alien creatures or betrayed by human traitors, among other things.

They were also tasked with handling relatively dangerous matters.

Protecting prodigies was a task with a lower risk factor but required a considerable amount of time, involving following the target 24 hours a day to ensure their safety against any threats.

Suddenly.

A person with a fierce aura walked into the entrance of the Future City District.

This person immediately caught Shadow's attention due to their formidable presence, their physique seemingly impenetrable even by an electromagnetic cannon.

Compared to the Catfish Demon Great King in the Great Radiation Zone, it seemed just as formidable.

The sudden appearance of such a terrifying figure made Shadow focus completely, without a hint of relaxation.

He could merge into darkness.

Having cultivated the Hidden Breath Technique, even some Bone Realm experts couldn't detect his presence.

"Not good."

Shadow felt uneasy. He noticed that the person was heading towards the sleep chamber where Ling Feng was lying. If something were to happen, it would bring disgrace upon his department; it was unthinkable to have the mission target killed just as he had accepted the task.

But this was the Inner Ring City.

And within the Future City District, Shadow didn't make any rash moves but was ready to strike. If that person dared to act recklessly, he would swoop down like a swallow.

He would swiftly execute the person in the dark night.

Instead, he found that after the person approached the sleep chamber, they didn't enter but sat on a stone stool at the door, as if waiting for someone to come out.

As a Body Tempering Master, Yan Fei had never felt so frustrated.

With good intentions, he entered the advanced game realm of the Star Realm to find Ling Feng, intending to bring him out for cultivation, but ended up being pinned down and relentlessly beaten by a group of female streamers.

He watched helplessly as Ling Feng was taken by several female streamers and quickly disappeared from his sight.

Initially, he planned to endure and later gain some advantage from Ling Feng, but then he found himself reported by the female streamers, accused of groping and harassment, which resulted in the deduction of thirty points.

Every point was hard-earned.

They could be used to exchange for cultivation resources. He intended to complete the task assigned by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance to teach Ling Feng how to cultivate properly and later use points to obtain a portion of Vein-Opening Liquid.

But then, another issue arose.

Not only had the points not increased because Ling Feng hadn't gone to the Dharma Hall for cultivation, nor had Yan Fei given Ling Feng any practical guidance.

But this was tolerable.

However, because of Ling Feng, he had thirty points deducted and was reported as a dirty-minded man by the female streamers, then announced by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.

No matter how good Yan Fei's mentality was, he couldn't control his urge to kill.

After the Dharma Hall's time ended, he immediately came to the Future City District, found out Ling Feng was still in the sleep pod, playing games with a bunch of female streamers, trying to suppress his anger, standing with an iron rod at the door.

Later, without any hesitation, once Ling Feng came out, he planned to hit him on the head a few times.

If soft measures don't work, hard measures will be applied.

No matter what, tonight Ling Feng must sign a guarantee contract, agreeing to cultivate well henceforth, or else he would be ruined.

Yan Fei's anger was understandable.

The lack of points was bearable; in the advanced game realm, being dealt blows by a bunch of female streamers, he could tolerate.

Even losing thirty points was bearable.

But being reported as a menacing man due to Ling Feng, Yan Fei couldn't swallow that indignity.

How had he, a respectable Body Tempering Master, become a creepy guy and been announced by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance?

Shadow found it odd.

He stealthily recorded Yan Fei's appearance and checked the individual's identity information.

Yan Fei.

Body Tempering Master.

Bone Realm expert.

Recent activity: excessive physical contact with a group of female streamers in the advanced game realm of the Star Realm, reported by multiple female streamers.

"Turns out he's an old guy lacking respect, perhaps even a human traitor."

Shadow muttered to himself internally.

The phrase "Bone Realm expert" made him particularly cautious. Facing such strength, he only had one chance to strike — if he failed, he would have to retreat instantly.

But for Ling Feng's sake, he was determined to fight to the end.

Time slowly passed.

Yan Fei continued to wait outside the sleep chamber.

Blinded by anger, he didn't notice Shadow's presence; he was still contemplating how to deal with Ling Feng.

However, based on Ling Feng's activities, Yan Fei realized there was no sign of Ling Feng coming out.

Time slipped away before his eyes.

The city lights dimmed.

The dark night faded away.

By the time dawn broke the next day and the third stage examination began, Yan Fei observed Ling Feng's activities, seeing Ling Feng exit the advanced game realm and quickly enter the examination realm.
