Gao Wu: I'll enjoy the benefits, but you'll bear the side effects.

Threatened, Lin Shengzu's face was burning with rage, the flames of anger seeming to devour everything around him.

He never expected that Gao Jie, who was so arrogant and ignorant, would actually dare to attack him.

His face was terribly gloomy, turning blue and purple in turns, so ugly that words could not describe it. The hatred in his heart was like a surging wave, wishing he could kill the despicable Gao Jie in front of him immediately and make him pay a heavy price for what he had done.

However, at this moment, a cruel joke was played on him. Despite his deep desire, his own power was inexplicably suppressed by Gao Jie.

No matter how hard he tried to mobilize the power within his body, it was like being stuck in a quagmire, unable to exert even a fraction of it. He could only watch helplessly as Gao Jie appeared, and the sense of frustration and anger intertwined, driving him almost to madness.

Gao Jie, on the other hand, did not seem to take Lin Shengzu's anger to heart.

He merely glanced coldly at Lin Shengzu, whose face was contorted with rage, before slowly withdrawing his hand. The movement carried an indescribable calmness and composure, as if everything he had just done was nothing more than a trivial matter.

He walked steadily to the side, his cold aura making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

Xu Rourou stood aside, witnessing all of this sudden turn of events, completely unprepared for things to develop to this point.

Her delicate face was filled with surprise and bewilderment. After a moment of stunned silence, she had no choice but to hurry and follow Gao Jie. Her eyes held a hint of doubt, but more so, a reliance on and trust in Gao Jie.

Lin Shengzu remained standing in the same spot, his anger undiminished, his furious gaze seeming to pierce through Gao Jie's back.

Just then, a crisp notification sound rang in Gao Jie's mind, and his system popped up a message without warning.

[Congratulations on achieving the title "Fearless of Power"! It has been detected that Lin Shengzu is one of the heirs of the Lin family.]

[The hidden quest has been completed. Congratulations on obtaining the special equipment, the Famous Sword.]

Gao Jie was slightly taken aback, and then a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

His gaze quickly fell on the famous sword that had just appeared in his equipment inventory, which exuded a mysterious aura.

Gao Jie couldn't help but become curious, pondering to himself: What special meaning does this thing have? Does it possess powerful attack capabilities, or does it hide some unknown secret?

Just as he was lost in thought about the famous sword, Xu Rourou suddenly reached out and gently nudged him, scolding, "What were you daydreaming about? It was like you were looking at a beautiful woman."

Startled awake by the sudden push, Gao Jie blurted out, almost unconsciously, "Yeah, aren't you a beauty? I was just looking at you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Rourou felt a surge of teasing in her heart, and a blush quickly spread across her cheeks.

Strangely, she didn't seem to dislike this feeling; on the contrary, she felt an inexplicable fondness for it.

She was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak for a moment, and could only turn her head away shyly, her voice slightly coquettish.

"You're so annoying, how could you say something like that? I don't want to talk to you anymore, I'm leaving."

Although Xu Rourou said that, her heart was pounding like a deer, and that strange feeling was spreading through her mind, which was hard to describe.

Gao Jie smiled at her shy expression and didn't take it too seriously.

After all, in his eyes, although Xu Rourou was pretty and charming, she wasn't the kind of person who would make people's hearts flutter at first glance or be particularly cute.

At least that's how he saw it, little did he know that Lin Shengzu was furiously searching for someone.

"Where did you run off to? Do you know I've been waiting for you? I'm telling you, you absolutely have to go and take care of that bastard for me. He made me suffer a lot today!"

"Did you hear me? Go and take care of him for me."

Lin Shengzu was furious, looking as if he wanted to devour someone.

The man he yelled at remained calm, seemingly unconcerned.

"Young Master, don't worry. If this guy dares to treat you like that, I'll definitely kill him. Don't you trust Black Five's judgment?"

Lin Shengzu gave a cold laugh.

"After you kill him, bring that little wench to me. I like that little wench, you hear me?"

Hearing Lin Shengzu say this, Hei Wu also revealed a wicked smile and immediately nodded.

"Don't worry, young master, there will be absolutely no mistake."

After saying that, Black Friday immediately set off.

Lin Shengzu was ready to watch the show, while the others beside him nervously reminded him.

"Let's not cause any trouble. I don't think that guy is an ordinary person. Let's just forget about it."

"I think so too. That kid seems very confident, and I'm worried he's not an ordinary person. Let's just let it go and not cause him any trouble."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Shengzu was immediately enraged.

"All of you shut up! If you dare say another word, believe me, I'll turn on you!"

Hearing this, there was nothing they could do but stay quietly to the side without saying a word.

Lin Shengzu turned on his computer, and the next moment, Black Five appeared in front of him, sprinting forward.

Black Friday was also looking for Gao Jie. As one of Lin Shengzu's lackeys, he had long wanted to find someone to fight.

But for so long, no one has been able to beat him, which has puzzled him.

Just then, Gao Jie's voice came, and Hei Wu immediately pounced on him.

"Hey kid, is it you who upset our young master?"

"The girl next to you is the prettiest around this beach. Your girlfriend is quite attractive. Hand her over obediently. Don't worry, we'll give her back to you when we're done playing with her, okay?"

Black Friday's words were extremely insulting, and Gao Jie's face instantly turned ugly.

"What did you say? That's incredibly disrespectful!"

Black Friday laughed triumphantly.

"I'm not going to respect you today, so what? What can you do to me?"

"Let me tell you the truth, I'm here today to cause trouble, understand?"

Gao Jie was furious. He felt that coming out today was a bad idea. Why were there so many idiots everywhere?

Xu Rourou was even angrier.

"Who's his girlfriend? Don't talk nonsense, okay? Please find out our relationship before you speak."

Black Friday laughed immediately.

"So she's not your girlfriend. Then this is none of your business. Kid, get lost, or I'll break your legs."

Gao Jie was completely enraged; he never expected this bastard to be so shameless.

"Alright, since you like to play, I'll play with you. Let me see just how capable you are. Don't let me underestimate you!"

Gao Jie slowly walked over and instantly revealed his signature move.

Black Friday, however, revealed a completely different approach, with the two having entirely different styles.

Gao Jie gave a cold laugh.

"Looks like you're determined to fight me to the bitter end!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Jie made a swift move and pounced on him.

Black Five remained calm and collected, and just as the ball was about to reach him, he suddenly kicked out.

Gao Jie was caught off guard by his sudden action and had no choice but to change direction and launch another attack.

The next moment, Black Friday stopped wasting time.

"Let me see your true abilities, just how formidable you really are!"

Black Five's attack method was too insidious, targeting Gao Jie's weakest point.

Gao Jie had no time to dodge and managed to withstand two blows before being heavily knocked to the ground. Just then, Hei Wu finally revealed his true cultivation level.

Xu Rourou was also stunned when she saw his cultivation level.

"You're truly shameless! You're clearly only at the second level of cultivation, how dare you bully someone at the first level?"

When Black Friday heard this, he just sneered and offered no explanation, after all, this world is a dog-eat-dog world.

Saying so much is useless. As long as someone can defeat you, that's enough. But if someone can't defeat you, then that's their own problem.

Black Friday slowly approached, a smug smile spreading across his face.

"Kid, you're already half-dead from my beating. If I make another move, you'll be dead, understand?"

"To be honest, I just want to tease you right now. I don't want to kill you yet. Tell me honestly, do you want to die?"

"I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

He reached out and tugged at Gao Jie's hair, but unexpectedly, a voice rang in Gao Jie's ear.

[Notification: The legendary weapon has been activated.]

Gao Jie then remembered that he still had the famous sword he had just acquired!
