"Ding!"
"The 'Red Flame Battle Group' you belong to has been disbanded. Please join a new battle group as soon as possible; otherwise, you will not be able to receive missions or supplies. Wishing you a pleasant life."
A message appeared before Wang Xu's eyes, and he sighed softly.
Jin Tun ultimately chose to retire. This blow was fatal to him. After realizing his true strength, he lost the ambition to compete with the strong. Jin Tun, along with Gui Suan, applied for retirement. They agreed to start a company together back in the Safe Zone and live a stable life.
"Ding!"
Another message.
"The Black Eye Battle Group invites you to join. Do you accept?"
The Black Eye Battle Group, ranked third among the battle groups, was a behemoth with over a dozen members, most of whom were Tier Seven elites. Wang Xu specifically searched for information about the Black Eye Battle Group and was surprised to find that their leader was a Tier Nine peak existence!
Tier Seven Master Level, those who reach Tier Seven can become Guardian Elders at the Genetics Academy in the Safe Zone and also have the authority to teach, imparting knowledge to low-tier students.
Tier Eight top tier, superlative strength, after reaching Tier Seven, Genetic Warriors are eligible to apply to enter the Core Area, while Tier Eight can enter the Core Area directly without review, and may even be invited to join by government officials.
Tier Nine peak, completely standing at the pinnacle of human elite. Above Tier Nine are the "Ultimate Venerable Level" powerhouses. Each Ultimate Venerable Level is crucial to humanity, and their existence directly affects the life and death of mankind. They are people of the highest stature within humanity.
"Accept." Wang Xu pressed the confirm button, waves rising in his heart.
He had seen Tier Eight powerhouses before, seeming like a baby in front of them, with no ability to resist at all.
What about Tier Nine powerhouses? How strong could they be?
With some anticipation in his heart, Wang Xu headed to the Black Eye Battle Group's "base."
Strong battle groups have their own battle group bases. The bases have individual cultivation rooms for everyone, meeting rooms for combat meetings, and all kinds of facilities available.
"You little rascal, can't you watch where you're going? A mere Tier Five brat, and you dare to confront me?"
On the way to the base of the Black Eye Battle Group, he would pass by the trading hall. Just as Wang Xu walked past the entrance, he heard a roar from inside.
Such incidents were countless in the battle group base. Fortunately, the battle group base clearly stipulated no killing, so Wang Xu had no intention of meddling. He shook his head and continued walking.
But when Wang Xu glanced inside, his steps halted, unable to move.
Ying Xing.
Inside the trading hall, Ying Xing lowered his head, his face full of unwillingness, tightly clenching his fists. Opposite him was a Tier Seven Master Level powerhouse. Facing the two-rank disparity in strength, Ying Xing could only choose to endure.
"Sorry," Ying Xing said with a flushed face, managing to squeeze out a few words with difficulty. As a genius, when had he ever been so humble to anyone?
The power was greater here than human strength. This was not the Inner Courtyard, not the place where his talent shone, and everyone respected him. To adapt here, he could only choose to bow his head.
"Humph! Count yourself sensible, kid. Right, you compensate me with two hundred thousand Contribution Points, and I'll let you go immediately." The speaker was a man with triangular eyes, an ugly appearance, sharp-nosed and monkey-cheeked, with a shrill voice that was detestable to hear.
Yet such a person possessed strong Tier Seven strength.
Ying Xing's face changed. He happened to have two hundred thousand Contribution Points on him, which were to be used to purchase an A-level armor and weapon. Realizing this, Ying Xing reacted that the Tier Seven triangular-eyed man in front of him deliberately wanted to mess with him!
"I apologize for accidentally bumping into you, but I've already apologized to you. I have matters to attend to, and I should leave." Knowing well that the triangular-eyed man wanted to mess with him, Ying Xing still couldn't explode.
After speaking, Ying Xing turned to leave.
The triangular-eyed man smirked insidiously, saying casually as he watched Ying Xing's back: "Go ahead and leave. I just checked, you're from the Flowing Soul Battle Group, right? Ranked eighty-first. With a few words, let's see if your captain will still keep you."
Ying Xing's body stiffened, frozen in place.
Joining the top hundred-ranked Flowing Soul Battle Group was his luck. Because his Tier Five strength had not improved for a long time, the captain was already very dissatisfied with him. If the triangular-eyed man interfered, he might indeed be expelled from the battle group.
The battle group captain has the right to initiate an expulsion vote. As long as more than half of the battle group chooses to expel, Ying Xing will have to choose a battle group again.
With his current strength, attempting to join a top hundred-ranked battle group again is almost impossible.
"What do you want?" Ying Xing struggled to suppress his anger.
"Simple, three hundred thousand Contribution Points, not a single point less," the triangular-eyed man said.
Three hundred thousand! Ying Xing was so angry his lips trembled: "Impossible, I don't have that many Contribution Points."
"No problem, just sign a debt agreement." The triangular-eyed man was adept with this process, undoubtedly having extorted in this manner many times before.
Ying Xing gritted his teeth, feeling like his gaze could ignite flames. His fingernails dug into his palm, oozing a little blood.
In the end, he still resignedly chose to give money to avoid disaster.
"Okay, I agree." Ying Xing said this with almost all his strength gone.
"Wait."
The triangular-eyed man had just revealed a pleased expression, when suddenly a voice interrupted, instantly darkening his face as he looked towards the source.
"Wang Xu?" Ying Xing saw the newcomer, it was Wang Xu.
Wang Xu witnessed the entire process and naturally understood what was going on through their conversation.
Ying Xing and he came from the same Safe Zone, considered half compatriots, so Wang Xu stood out without hesitation.
"Hmph! A Tier Five middle-stage kid thinks he can talk to me?" The triangular-eyed man was extremely displeased by the interruption of his good deal, and snorted.
Wang Xu smiled slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the 57th ranked 'Wind Ghost Battle Group'."
"So what? You think you can stand up for this kid?" The triangular-eyed man sneered, determined to extort both this interfering Tier Five kid and Ying Xing.
"It's nothing, just that I happen to know your boss 'Wind Ghost', this matter is just a misunderstanding, I think Boss Wind Ghost won't mind." Wang Xu said with a smile.
The triangular-eyed man scoffed: "Kid, our Boss Wind Ghost has a huge reputation, you say you know him, just like that?"
The triangular-eyed man thought Wang Xu was just bluffing and didn't care at all.
Wang Xu said nothing, brought up Wind Ghost's communication number, and sent a message.
In a lavishly decorated bar, Wind Ghost was with several members of the group, hands roaming over the drinking companions, laughing wantonly, enjoying an ecstatic moment.
For genetic warriors who put their lives on the line, their favorite thing was to satisfy their mental enjoyment to the fullest, letting their tense nerves completely relax.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, a message arrived.
Wind Ghost frowned, who was so inconsiderate to send him a message while he was having fun? Despite his displeasure, Wind Ghost still opened the Light Computer.
"Battle Group Trading Hall, your subordinate is causing trouble, come over to handle it." The message's tone sounded like a command, which made Wind Ghost even more upset.
"Who is this Wang Xu guy? Dare to speak to me like this, tired of living?"
Wind Ghost, irritated, opened the database and began to check Wang Xu's background.
"Damn! Damn it, a Tier Five kid dares to be so arrogant, I'll..." Wind Ghost was halfway through his threat, when suddenly his eyes popped wide open.
The other members enjoying themselves saw Wind Ghost's expression change time and again, couldn't help asking: "Boss, what's wrong?"
Just as he asked, Wind Ghost pushed away the companion girl in his arms and hurried out.
"What's wrong with the boss?" Several members looked at each other, bewildered.
...
"Kid, I told you, he just needs to pay three hundred thousand, but you, five hundred thousand!" The triangular-eyed man threatened, "Better wise up, or you won't know when you die in the wilderness."
Just after Wang Xu sent the message, the triangular-eyed man demanded five hundred thousand Contribution Points from him as mental compensation.
"Wang Xu, just leave, this is trouble I've caused, I don't want to drag you in." Ying Xing said.
Wang Xu almost catching up to him in Realm already made him uncomfortable, and having Wang Xu stand up for him at this moment made him feel even more ashamed, the word genius was simply an insult to him.
Wang Xu smiled: "Don't worry, just wait another minute or two."
As expected, just when the triangular-eyed man was about to proceed with further threats, a lean-faced man hurried over.
"Boss?" The triangular-eyed man recognized the lean man at once; it was their boss of the Wind Ghost Battle Group, Wind Ghost.
Wind Ghost stepped forward, and upon seeing Wang Xu, his body shivered involuntarily, his gaze showing a hint of fear, then he looked at the dumbfounded triangular-eyed man, and his anger surged, giving a slap right away.
"Slap!" The slap was crisp and loud, and before the triangular-eyed man reacted, he was almost knocked to the ground.
"Useless! Damn it, I told you not to cause trouble everywhere, see what trouble you've caused!" Wind Ghost cursed furiously at the triangular-eyed man, kicked him several times, making him roll several times on the ground.
After that, Wind Ghost turned his face, his expression instantly turned into a smiling face.
"Mr. Wang Xu, my subordinate offended you, I'm really sorry!"
These words not only stunned the triangular-eyed man but also made Ying Xing widen his eyes, looking at Wang Xu as if they were seeing a ghost.
