"It's him?"

Xia Yuan had indeed heard of this person's name, but he only knew the name.

The main problem is that there are now so many people at Origin Academy that he doesn't have the energy to pay attention to everyone.

Moreover, who among those who can enter the Origin Academy isn't a genius?
Xia Yuan will only pay more attention to people who are exceptionally outstanding, such as Nangong Hong and Ji Xuan.

However, it only took a short while.

Xia Yuan had already heard Xing Yuxuan's name from many people around him.

The crowd seemed to admire Xing Yuxuan even more than Nangong Hong and the others.

It's clear that many people regard him as a pillar of support.

Many people even believe that Xing Yuxuan may surpass Nangong Hong in the future.

It's normal to have this kind of thought.

It's truly remarkable that the other party was able to pass the assessment under such circumstances.

Most importantly, Xing Yuxuan represents countless ordinary people like the young man before us.

His success has undoubtedly inspired more people to pursue their dreams.

Xia Yuan was actually quite pleased to see this situation.

Or rather, the more people like Xing Yuxuan appear, the better.

But this is just too difficult!
Among tens of millions of people, it would be difficult to find someone like Xing Yuxuan.

At this stage, those who are able to enter the Origin Academy.

Basically, they either have a very high starting point or come from very well-off families.

Ordinary people like Xing Yuxuan are few and far between, you could count them on one hand.

Moreover, those people also received a lot of help.

For example, Liu Xiaoyan and Qu Yuchen.

If it were based on their own abilities alone, they would have no chance of getting into the Origin Academy.

Just then, the young man sighed and said:
"Speaking of which, Xing Yuxuan was able to pass the test thanks to a Taoist priest who came to our place back then."

"Oh, a Taoist priest?"

The young man nodded.

“Back then, a young Taoist priest came to our area, and he also found a guide.”

"And the guide he found was Xing Yuxuan."

"However, since he had no money, he taught Xing Yuxuan some methods of physical exercise and martial arts as a way of repaying him."

According to Xing Yuxuan, it was because of the Taoist priest's instruction that he was able to pass the test.

"Based on our speculation, that Taoist priest should be an extraordinary person."

At this point, the young man couldn't help but sigh.

"Unfortunately, by the time we found out, the Taoist priest had already left!"

"If I could receive instruction from that Taoist priest, I might have a chance to pass the test."

After hearing what the young man said, Xia Yuan raised an eyebrow.

A young Taoist priest, or an extraordinary being?
Could it be Li Tianyi?

Xia Yuan shook his head.

According to the young man, the main purpose of the cultivation method that the Taoist priest taught Xing Yuxuan was to prevent him from damaging his body by exercising haphazardly.

However, these training methods and martial arts are not necessarily only available to extraordinary individuals.

It's not surprising that someone who cultivates the Tao would know this.

However, Xia Yuan gradually understood why so many people here were eager to be guides for outsiders.

Making money is only part of the story.

Perhaps more than anything, they hope to have some opportunities, just like Xing Yuxuan.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!"

After a while.

The young man composed himself and continued with a smile:

"Let's rest for a while and have something to eat!"

"We'll go into the mountains again this afternoon!"

"The food here is absolutely amazing; you might not be able to find it anywhere else even if you have the money!"

Xia Yuan nodded, neither refusing nor rejecting the offer.

But just then, another voice suddenly came from beside them.

"Shi Kai, are you planning to lead people into the no-man's land again?"

Shi Kai is the young man's name.

Looking in the direction of the voice, one could see that the person had dark skin, a thin face, and several shallow lines etched at the corners of their eyes.

He had broad shoulders and a muscular, bulging arm.

His knuckles were large and covered with tiny scars.

Judging from his appearance, he is someone who often exercises in the mountains and forests here.

However, his coarse, short hair was mixed with a few gray strands.

Clearly, although his body looks robust, his bodily functions are somewhat impaired.

Moreover, it seems to be even more so than Shi Kai.

Of course, it doesn't have much of an impact on someone his age.

But upon seeing who it was, Shi Kai's expression changed instantly!
It seems the two don't get along.

He didn't want to pay any attention to it.

But the burly man in front of him continued to speak.

This time, however, he was speaking to Xia Yuan, who was standing to the side.

"Young man, are you here for tourism?"

"Yes."

"Shall I take you inside?"

“I’ve been here for over five years, and no one knows the place better than me.”

"Even if you want to go deep into the no-man's-land, I can take you in."

"The scenery inside is definitely much better than the surrounding area!"

After speaking, the burly man smiled and looked at Xia Yuan.

He knew that Shi Kai usually only took people to look around from the outside.

But many people actually want to go inside.

So when he said that, many people were tempted.

He's always done this, and he's stolen a lot of customers.

At this moment, Shi Kai finally couldn't hold back any longer!
He turned around abruptly, a flash of anger in his eyes.

"Enough, Xiong Feng!"

"I already told this young man before I came!"

Seeing the anger on Shi Kai's face, the burly man didn't take it to heart at all.

He feigned surprise and said:

"You haven't even brought this young man inside yet, how can you say it's an agreement?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Kai couldn't help but sneer:
"Xiong Feng, don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"Isn't the idea just to take people in deeper and then stay there for a few more days?"

Xiong Feng grinned, not angry at all.

He revealed his yellowed teeth, but his eyes shrewdly sized up Xia Yuan's clothes and appearance.

"Shi Kai, that's not a fair thing to say."

He spread his hands, feigning grievance.

“This young man has come all this way, he can’t just be looking at some ordinary sights, can he?”

That's right, you can tell at a glance that someone like Xia Yuan wouldn't be short of money.

Therefore, he did not care that Shi Kai exposed his intentions.

As he spoke, he leaned closer to Xia Yuan, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of seduction:

"Young man, there are wild hot springs deep in the no-man's-land, and if you're lucky, you might even see some amazing sights!"

Seeing Xiong Feng's actions, Shi Kai subconsciously clenched his fist.

The veins on the back of his hand bulged, but he suppressed them and didn't lash out.

Compared to Xiong Feng, he doesn't really have many advantages.

Although Shi Kai himself could enter, he could not guarantee Xia Yuan's safety.

But Xiong Feng was different; the other party was more familiar with him than he was.

In the past, many clients were poached by Xiong Feng in this way.

Because for many wealthy people, this amount of money is not a problem at all.

They came simply to see more of the scenery.

If given the opportunity to go deeper, I would naturally not refuse.

"No need, Shi Kai and I have already reached an agreement!"

Xia Yuan glanced at Xiong Feng and shook his head calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Feng's smile faltered, then he forced a smile:
"Young man, have you thought this through? The path he's leading doesn't include me—"

I said, no need!

Xia Yuan interrupted him, his tone not harsh, but carrying an undeniable air of authority.

He turned and walked toward Shi Kai.

"let's go!"

"Oh, okay, okay!"

Shi Kai, regaining his senses, was immediately stunned.

He didn't expect that Xia Yuan would still choose him in the end.

This was completely unexpected. "It seems that my service along the way satisfied this rich kid!"

Shi Kai breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

But behind the two of them.

Xiong Feng's face darkened.

He stared at their retreating figures, a shadowy glint in his eyes.

"What grudge did that person hold against you?"

The dinner table.

Xia Yuan asked.

He had clearly seen Xiong Feng's expression just now.

That's why he was a little confused.

"It's not a matter of enmity!"

Shi Kai shook his head.

"It is because of the previously announced news and the fact that Xing Yuxuan's experience has become known to everyone that the competition here has become increasingly fierce."

"After all, everyone hopes to enter the Origin Academy like Xing Yuxuan!"

"So when they see someone as rich as you, many people will try to steal your customers."

"Of course, there aren't many people here stronger than me."

"Xiong Feng, whom you just met, is one of them!"

"However, this guy's methods are somewhat dishonorable."

Hearing these words, Xia Yuan nodded.

Nowadays, it's not just the extraordinary.

Many ordinary people are also scrambling to obtain every resource they can!

But what happened to Xiong Feng just now seems to have gone beyond mere dishonesty.
"interesting!"

Xia Yuan raised the corners of his mouth, and a smile involuntarily appeared.

"What's interesting?"

Shi Kai looked puzzled.

"It's nothing, let's eat!"

Xia Yuan shook his head, not saying anything more.

Half an hour later.

After finishing their meal and taking some resources with them to enter the no-man's-land, the two headed in.

However, the two deliberately avoided Xiong Feng and did not let him know.

This was Shi Kai's request.

Xia Yuan didn't say much about it.

But right behind the two, there was a figure quietly watching their departing backs.

The man sneered, took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, and pressed the call button.

"Boss, Shi Kai has led his men into the no-man's land!"

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Xiong Feng's sinister voice came through:
"If they dare to disrespect me, then let's give them some 'fun'!"

The man squinted and replied with a smile.

"Understood. Let them experience what it's like to be 'lost'?"

"No, let's send some 'old friends' out to say hello first—it's time for those wolves, who haven't eaten for days, to have some meat."

……

No man's land.

Shi Kai and Xia Yuan spent an afternoon trekking through the uninhabited area.

It was already evening, and the sky was getting dark.

Shi Kai skillfully chose a sheltered mountain hollow to set up camp and lit a campfire.

As he set up camp, he looked at Xia Yuan and said:

"Dude, you've walked for so long, but you don't seem tired at all."

"Your physical condition is truly exceptional!"

Xia Yuan withdrew his gaze from the distance and replied with a smile:

"Hehe, I exercise occasionally too!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Kai's lips twitched.

Damn it, you only exercise occasionally?
Along the way, if he hadn't suggested taking a break, Xia Yuan probably wouldn't have rested at all.

Such physical fitness is simply impossible to achieve without years of consistent training.

He even began to have some doubts about whether Xia Yuan was a superhuman!

However, so far...

Aside from having better physical strength, Xia Yuan didn't show anything particularly unusual.

Moreover, the number of superhumans is currently limited.

He had heard of the name at least once.

But he had absolutely no recollection of the person in front of him.

Shaking his head, he didn't think much about it.

Let's rest here tonight!

"If we walk for another half day tomorrow, we'll reach Jiufeng Lake."

"The scenery there is absolutely stunning in this area; if you're lucky, you might even see the Rainbow Bridge."

however.

At this point, Shi Kai suddenly paused.

His previously relaxed expression suddenly changed.

"do not move!"

Shi Kai warned in a low voice.

At the same time, his hand was already on the hunting knife at his waist.

next moment.

From the dark thicket, several pairs of eerie green eyes slowly emerged.

The deep, panting sounds grew closer—it was a pack of wolves.
Upon seeing this, Shi Kai's pupils suddenly contracted.

"We're not even deep in the no-man's-land yet, how could there be a pack of wolves?"

However, before he could think any further, the wolf pack was already within arm's reach.

The lead gray wolf bared its teeth and pawed at the ground restlessly, clearly starving!

Cold sweat began to drip from his forehead.

"calm down!"

After forcibly calming the turmoil in his heart, Shi Kai said to Xia Yuan behind him:
"Hide by the fire behind me!"

At the same time, he slowly squatted down and pulled a burning branch from the fire.

With a flick of the wrist, sparks flew everywhere.

"Back off!"

He suddenly roared, and the torch drew a blazing arc in front of him.

The wolves were startled by the sudden flash of fire and took a few steps back, but quickly surrounded them again.

And in that state, they seemed even more restless!
“Something’s not right. There’s something wrong with the way these wolves are behaving, like they’ve been stimulated by something.”

Suddenly, Shi Kai seemed to have thought of something.

"It's Xiong Feng, it must be him!"

He had vaguely heard that Xiong Feng had this skill before.

In the past, Shi Kai had only thought it was an exaggeration.

After all, taming a pack of wolves is no easy task.

But this situation is very likely to be true.

"This guy actually wants to kill us over such a trivial matter!"

He gripped the torch tightly, the charcoal crackling as he squeezed it.

"Dude, I'm sorry I dragged you into this!"

"I'll hold them off for a bit."

"With your physical abilities, you might have a chance to escape!"

By now, Shi Kai had made up his mind to die.
