Chapter 1248 Uninvited Guest

“Yes,” Mengmeng replied, “we went to kindergarten together.”

Hearing the word “kindergarten”, Mohan Myernie was slightly stunned. After thinking for moments, he guessed the meaning of kindergarten.

Then, he nodded with a smile, looked at Stefen, and said, “Your Brother Amman is backstage, getting ready for the contest. His friend will fight in Ring No. 6 first, and then he will come onto the stage.”

“Okay, got it,” Stefen said.

Mengmeng, Yue Xiaonao, and the others were not very interested in this, for the fights going on in the rings below were not fierce. There were eight rings in total. Mengmeng’s group was sitting on the side of Ring No. 6. There were hundreds of spectators around this ring, which was a small area in the Beast Arena. Mengmeng felt that it was just as large as a suite in a hotel.

Mengmeng chatted with Stefen’s group casually for a while. It seemed that they didn’t know much about Earth. According to their understanding, Earth was a remote and barren place in the Sea Dragon Star Area.

In the Heavenly Dragon Star Province, everyone thought that the development of all neighboring Star Areas was too slow. In terms of comprehensive strength, none of those in the neighboring Star Areas, whether it was those living at the bottom of society, blessed talents, or major forces, could compete with those in the Heavenly Dragon Star Province.

It was said that if a squad led by an elder in the Heavenly Dragon Star Province were to be dispatched by any random force, the squad would be able to conquer all the major Star Areas.

In those Star areas, even cultivators in the God Transformation Realm were scarce. But in the Heavenly Dragon Star Province, those cultivators were countless.

It was an undeniable fact that this was the overall situation.

After all, the Heavenly Dragon Star Province had a lot of crystal stones and spiritual treasures, including spiritual herbs and gems.

“Look over there. The picture of the Star-shooting House is so cool.”

The man next to Mohan Myernie pointed to the image projected in the air in front of him.

It showed that in the void of the universe, a shooting star was streaking past a piece of land. Gradually, the camera zoomed in.

Then, a huge planet in the universe was shown. As the camera drew toward the surface of the planet, large building complexes came into view.

Finally, the camera was fixed at a huge gate of a sect, and two shining words occupied the entire screen—Star-shooting House.

It was just like a publicity advertisement.

After all, the Flowing Water Star belonged to the Star-shooting House. Many people from local powers would feel honored to be able to join the Star-shooting House. If their children were able to be accepted as official disciples by the Star-shooting House, they would bring forth the envy of countless people. Their children would rise to fame, just like those who had succeeded in the government examination.

Even a few young vampires in Mengmeng’s group expressed their longing to join the Star-shooting House.

“If I am able to be admitted to the Star-shooting House, my family’s status will rapidly rise.”

“The members of the Star-shooting House are all very talented. The entrance examination is very strict. They only accept members not older than 20. Generally, the strength of us vampires will not grow fast until we are in our 40s or 50s. It’s too hard to be that strong before we turn 20.”

“But Stefen is now in the Innateness Realm. He is only 16 years old. He still has four years to work hard. The threshold of joining the Star-shooting House is to reach the Elixir Realm before 20 years old. Stefen still has a chance.”

Stefen’s face lit up with a smile when he heard the discussion of his peers.

He looked a little complacent and flattered. He glanced at Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao and opened his mouth to ask them what realm they were in. But he was too embarrassed to say the words out loud.

He was afraid that their answers would… hurt his pride.

At this question, Chen Chuan muttered, “It doesn’t seem difficult to reach the Elixir Realm before 20 years old.”

“Hahaha.”

Upon hearing this, Mohan Myernie suddenly laughed and shook his head.

“Children say what they think. But in fact, it is very hard to reach the Elixir Realm before the age of 20, unless you’re extraordinarily talented.”

“It’s not difficult. I’m nine years old. I’m now at the Innateness Realm Middle-Stage. Mengmeng reached the Elixir Realm at the age of 14. She has only cultivated for two years. I’ve also cultivated for two years. Plus, Xiaonao is also about to reach the Elixir Realm.”

“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”

It was heart-wrenching.

Mohan’s eyes slowly widened, and the muscles on his face couldn’t stop trembling. Even the people around abruptly stopped talking.

“This boy is 9 years old, but he is already at the Innateness Realm Middle-Stage!”

“A 14-year-old Elixir Realm cultivator would definitely be able to join the Star-shooting House. If she is lucky, it might even be possible for her to become the head of a branch in two years.”

“Heavens! She is amazing!”

The look in those people’s eyes immediately changed. It seemed that for them, becoming a disciple of the Star-shooting House was a huge honor.

However, Mengmeng, Yue Xiaonao, Nina, and Felina didn’t feel it was a big deal at all.

“What is the Star-shooting House anyway?”

“Ahem, ahem.”

Mohan Myernie coughed awkwardly and turned to talk to his two friends of the same age beside him, trying to change the topic.

He didn’t want his pride to be hurt more deeply.

“Have you heard about our Hill Stone City’s new City Lord?” Mohan Myernie asked.

The man in white next to him said with a smile, “Basically everyone is talking about the new City Lord. It’s said that he’s an amazing bigwig. He’s powerful and has a high status. He is Lu Shuihan, the new elder of the Star-shooting House. He was promoted from a disciple to an elder within 20 years in the Star-shooting House. He must be unbelievably strong.”

“Where did you hear that?” Mohan Myernie asked curiously, “The news hasn’t spread yet, right?”

“It’s already widely known. Big Bro, how could you not know this? A couple of days ago in Alfalfa Garden, a mysterious woman injured 19 people. I thought she would be punished by the law enforcement team of the Star-shooting House. Unexpectedly, the law enforcement team rushed there but they didn’t do anything to that woman. They even punished those she injured. Later, I heard that the mysterious woman was only 17 years old, named Lu Ling, and she is Lu Shuihan’s daughter. I heard that she is an adopted daughter, and is either at the Elixir Realm Peak-Stage or at the Yuan Ying Realm Early-Stage. She is shockingly gifted.” After saying that, the man in white took a deep breath and looked somewhat emotional. He was also yearning for great strength.

When he heard this, Mohan Myernie’s expression changed.

“I’ve heard about this woman you were talking about. She wreaked havoc in the city. It turns out that she is called Lu Ling. She is the adopted daughter of Elder Lu Shuihan of the Star-shooting House. This is terrifying.”

“I have a friend who once saw Lu Ling. He said that Lu Ling is pretty, but she is too arrogant. She can’t tolerate anyone who upset her. One has to be ten times more careful than one usually is when serving her. Otherwise, one will be whipped,” the man in white sighed.

“She has a powerful backer—Elder Lu Shuihan of the Star-shooting House,” Mohan Myernie said. “I heard some news about Elder Lu Shuihan from several seniors. Although he is a newly promoted elder, his strength is definitely within the top 100 among the nearly 1,000 elders in the Star-shooting House. Otherwise, he would not be famous all over the world. Two years ago, during that war on the Peak Star, Elder Lu Shuihan showed his great power and vanquished the rebel army of the Star-shooting House on the Star-shooting House. The battlefield was a bloodbath. More than 10,000 people died. Countless cultivators in the Elixir Realm, at the Yuan Ying Realm Middle-Stage, the Last-Stage, and Peak-Stage were killed by him. That battle made Lu Shuihan famous. At that time, Lu Shuihan was at the Yuan Ying Realm Peak-Stage. Now, it is said that he is almost at the God Transformation Realm Middle-Stage. His strength improves really fast.”

“I wonder if we can reach the God Transformation Realm in this lifetime.”

The others shook their heads repeatedly.

“It’s not that simple. There are countless mighty figures in the God Transformation Realm in the Heavenly Dragon Star Province. I really want to know how they achieved it.”

“The key point is that the Heavenly Dragon Star Province is very large and has a large population. Maybe only one person in hundreds of thousands or even millions of people can reach the God Transformation Realm.”

“He is coming! Who is gonna fight Xu? Who is that person on the opposite side?” the man in white yelled, his face lit by excitement.

“I don’t know him. He must be doing this for a bet or something.”

With everyone’s eyes fixed on them, two men strode into Ring No. 6.

One was the Xu mentioned by the man in white.

Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao looked at each other.

They both knew one of them should be Amman’s friend.

But they didn’t know which one it was because both the two were wearing shining armor, and their facial features couldn’t be seen clearly with the naked eye.

“Forget it, we’re just here to watch the show.”

Mengmeng didn’t ask anything. Sitting in the chair, she enjoyed the snacks while watching the ring.

Moments later, the two men started fighting.

One held a long sword while the other held a long spear. The fight was truly awe-inspiring.

In terms of strength, the two were both at the Elixir Realm Early-Stage. It could be said that they were equally strong.

But Mohan Myernie’s comment enlightened the others.

“I didn’t expect that Xu would have learned the Silken Sword Method.”

“Oh, it turns out that the person holding the sword is Xu.”

Nina blinked and watched the fight with interest.

“This move is highly risky. Xu almost got injured. But he reacted really fast. He dodged that strike just in time. What a close call!”

“This move Xu’s made is brilliant! He’s gained the upper hand. The result of this fight will come out in less than two minutes!”

“He won! He won!”

“Hahaha.” The man in white laughed. “He won by a narrow margin. It’s really thrilling.”

“That’s nothing.” Mohan Myernie touched his chin and said, “The Dragon Ranking Competition is a really thrilling event. Heroes will gather together when it begins. If you want to see who the most distinguished ones are today, go to watch the Dragon Ranking Competition. Every time, tens of thousands of people will participate in the competition. Almost every contestant has outstanding aptitudes. It’s a grand meeting for geniuses. Many young talents below the age of 20 in this competition would be accepted by super sects in Astral Domains. For those who are between 20 and 40 years old, they are the mainstay of the contestants. It is said that if they perform well, they can immediately become supervisors or chief disciples of the big sects in Astral Domains. Those above 40 years old are all freaking strong. They fight for the reward for the Dragon Ranking Competition. Generally speaking, the ratio of being admitted by big sects for those below 20 years is the highest. They make up 70 percent of the enrolment. Those between 20 and 40 years old make up 20 percent. Those above 40 make up 10 percent.”

“Big brother, how come you know this so well?” a junior asked.

“Of course, I know this well. I participated in the competition last time as one of those young talents below the age of 20,” Mohan Myernie said calmly.

“That’s bravo! Mohan, what place did you get last time?” a female junior said with admiration on her face.

Hearing this question, Mohan Myernie fell into deep thought.

Finally, he said, “I ranked 16,000th or so.”

Everyone fell silent.

“He was indeed ‘ranked among the top’.”

“Don’t look down on me just because more than 16,000 people performed better than me. At that time, there were a total of 33,563 people in the 20-minus age bracket. I won one battle, which meant that I should rank 16,000th or so, and then I lost the second in the second round,” Mohan Myernie sighed before saying, “There are numerous powerful figures in the competition in the Dragon Ranking Competition. You may not see so many heroes normally. But when that kind of grand event is held, they spring up in large numbers.”

“Amman is coming.”

The man in white looked at the information shown above Ring No. 6.

Amman Myernie would come to fight the next battle.

“Go for it, Brother Amman!” Stefen shouted.

Mengmeng turned to look at him and said, “Oh, it seems that you have many friends here.”

“Haha, I guess so,” Stefen smiled shyly.

After that, he pointed to the man in black on Ring No. 6 and said, “He is Brother Amman. His full name is Amman Myernie. He is super powerful. He is now at the Yuan Ying Realm Middle-Stage.”

“But Amman’s opponent is not weak either.” Mohan Myernie said, “Although his opponent is also at the Yuan Ying Realm Middle-Stage, in fact, he is very close to the Last-Stage. His means are unpredictable. He knows how to couple hardness with softness, and he has learned the way of Yin and Yang. It is said that he is taught by a great master and has obtained great opportunities.”

Stefen’s expression altered slightly. He asked worriedly, “Can Brother Amman defeat him?”

“There shouldn’t be a problem. Amman isn’t a weakling either,” said Mohan Myernie with some uncertainty.

Sure enough!

The two fighters on the stage stared at each other for seconds. Then, they began to move. Amman used a strange moving technique to approach his opponent and performed the Bloodsource Technique. However, his opponent was an experienced fighter after all, who fought back with the same move. In just seconds, Amman had fallen into a disadvantageous position.

The two of them exchanged blows so quickly that the spectators exclaimed in surprise.

“The Amman from the Myernie family has grown stronger again. How surprising!”

“The speed of his growth is indeed very fast.”

“Those juniors of the Myernie family are now slowly stepping into the upper echelons.”

The spectators shared their comments on this. The Myernie family was a little famous in the local area and was considered to be nobles.

In particular, Luoke Myernie, the patriarch, was really a cultivator in the God Transformation Realm.

Even though God Transformation Realm cultivators were numerous in the Heavenly Dragon Star Province, they were scattered on different planets. Thus, there were not many God Transformation Realm cultivators on each planet.

“What a smart Reversal Incantation!”

“Wonderful!”

“He won!”

Seeing Amman’s victory, Mohan Myernie couldn’t contain his surprise and joy. He slapped his thigh hard and said, “Ha, I won 8,000 crystal stones from this fight! Cool!”

“Huh?”

Mengmeng was taken aback.

She felt a little awkward. At first, she thought that Mohan Myernie was happy because Xu was a member of the Myernie family, and his glory was also the glory of the entire Myernie family. But judging from his words and tone, it was more likely that he was happy because he earned crystal stones from this bet.

“Brother Amman is amazing!”

Stefen’s eyes were shining brightly, brimming with admiration and envy.

Now that Stefen had seen the Heavenly Dragon Star Province, he thought that Earth was a far cry from the Heavenly Dragon Star Province regarding the scale of everything. This boy, who did not know Earth’s background, believed that this kind of large Star Province was a truly colorful world.

He felt very honored to become a member of the Myernie family. After he saw an older boy in the Myernie family secure victory in the dueling ring and win waves of cheers, he wanted to have this honor as well!

“You’re so happy. You can’t even stop smiling,” Yue Xiaonao eyed Stefen and said with amusement.

She found this boy quite interesting. “The fighters in the ring were both alright, but this boy got overwrought.”

“Uh, hahaha.” Stefen scratched his head.

After a quarter of time or so, Amman Myernie went back with his friends.

“What now? I said I’d win. I didn’t lie, did I?” Amman laughed heartily.

“Hahaha, you’re right. I won 8,000 crystal stones this time. Let’s go for a drink in Fragrance Restaurant tonight,” Mohan Myernie thumped his chest and said.

As Mohan’s friend had won the fight, Mohan and the others were all in a good mood.

It was as if one’s mood could be contagious. Mengmeng, Yue Xiaonao, and Nina were all smiling. They all felt this was a great show.

A person full of positive energy could often bring positive energy to others. But a person filled with negative energy who moaned and complained every day would often make others feel unhappy.

But nothing was absolute. There would always be something unexpected in life.

While the group was rejoicing over their victory, a sarcastic voice suddenly came.

“Hey, you won the fight only because your opponent hadn’t recovered from his injury. But you think you’re somebody now. Isn’t this hilarious?”

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

All the people nearby looked over in an instant.

They saw a group of more than a dozen people standing on the side aisle. Those people happened to see Amman Myernie enjoying his moment when they were passing by.

“Corus!”

Amman Myernie’s face instantly darkened.
