"Look, that useless one is getting ready to go out and show off again."
"This Huo Feng, hum, if it weren't for his father being the clan leader, he would have been expelled from the family long ago."
"Exactly, he can't even cultivate Origin Force and yet lives more freely than we do."
A group of young boys were discussing a certain boy with disdain and a hint of jealousy. Their contemptuous gazes seemed to wish they could kill him with just a look. "Shh, stop it. What if he hears us and tells the clan leader?" One of them made a gesture for silence. Suddenly, the atmosphere became exceptionally quiet; the thought of the clan leader's wrath made everyone shiver.
These boys were the elite of the younger generation from the Huo Family in Nottingham City. The boy they despised was named Huo Feng. It was clear that Huo Feng knew what they were saying, which was nothing more than insults calling him useless. Although Huo Feng felt anger, he also felt helpless, but over time he had learned to take it lightly.
The reason Huo Feng was labeled as useless was due to a test conducted by the Huo Family five years ago. In this continent, children undergo an Origin Force test at the age of eight to determine their future development and growth path. Generally, children at eight years old would have some level of Origin Force, which they are born with and that automatically increases as they grow. However, after turning eight, they need to rely on cultivation to improve.
During that Origin Force test, most children tested between levels one to three; only two individuals achieved level five, which is already considered top-tier in Nottingham City. Even within the royal palace of Moyang Kingdom, the highest level reached was only Seventh Level. However, when it came time for Huo Feng, the testing orb showed no fluctuations at all. After several attempts with different orbs yielded no results, he was ultimately deemed to have zero Origin Force and thus unable to cultivate.
Since then, Huo Feng had been branded as useless for five years, living off others and waiting for death. "Life really is a joke; why must I be born into such a family without any ability to cultivate? Was I a notorious villain in my past life? Forget it; the more you torment me, the less I'll give you what you want. I'll just continue to enjoy the sun at Purple Cloud Mountain." Despite his unwillingness, these five years of experience had shaped Huo Feng's indifferent personality.
With this thought in mind, Huo Feng had almost reached the north gate of North City Gate.
"Oh, isn't this the famous young master Huo Feng? Why aren't you at home cultivating? Without strength, how will you protect your family in the future? You are the clan leader's only son." A sarcastic voice came from behind him.
Huo Feng paused; upon recognizing who it was, he ignored them and prepared to walk away. Suddenly, a shadow flashed in front of him, blocking his path. Another person strolled over leisurely and said, "Why do you seem to look down on us? The Nalan Family, Mu Family, and your Huo Family are all part of the three major powers in Nottingham City. How come you're ignoring us when we're trying to talk?" The tone grew increasingly cold as onlookers began to gather around.
Seeing that people were watching made these two even more excited as they blocked Huo Feng's way. "Step aside, Nalan Kang, Mu Yu, don't go too far." Even a clay figurine has some temper; at this moment, it was clear that Huo Feng was angry.
Seeing him like this only amused them further; this was exactly what they wanted. "Nalan Kang laughed loudly: 'Haha! You are just a useless one who can't cultivate! What? Do you want to hit us?'"
At this moment, neither showed any intention of backing down as they provocatively stared at Huo Feng.
"Oh dear! I'm so scared! Young master Huo Feng wants to hit us!" They put on exaggerated expressions of fear.
"Hmph! You useless one! If you have no ability, just obediently play along with us; maybe then you can stay by our side." With that, Mu Yu punched Huo Feng in the stomach. These two had cultivated up to level seven of Origin Force, while Huo Feng didn't even have level one. With a cry of pain, his face instantly turned red as he couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood that spurted out. Holding his stomach in agony, he stood there with his back straightened and eyes filled with rage.
"You want to endure? Then we'll beat you until you kneel and beg for mercy." With that, Nalan Kang darted in front of Huo Feng and kicked him in the abdomen. Like an arrow released from a bow, he flew into the air and coughed up blood before crashing down several meters away.
"As long as you shout 'Sir, you are wrong,' we will let you go," Mu Yu said as he opened a folding fan and lightly fanned himself. At this moment, Huo Feng's stomach was churning violently from their attacks, yet he was still struggling to get back on his feet.
"If this is the punishment I deserve, then let it come even more fiercely. What do I have to fear?" he thought, as he bent over painfully trying to stand up again, but due to his severe injuries, he fell back to the ground.
"I cannot just lie here. Even if I am a useless person who cannot cultivate, I still have my dignity and pride. I must stand up." With this thought, Huo Feng once again struggled to rise from the ground. He swayed unsteadily, put on a disdainful expression, and looked at the two in front of him with contempt. "Is this all your so-called talent? You're just scratching an itch for a useless person like me. If you can't handle it, then shout 'Sir' and get lost." He spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
Mu Yu and Nalan Kang were furious but could not actually kill him; after all, the Huo Family held the same status in Nottingham City as their own families. Moreover, they did not have the courage to take such drastic action.
"Step aside if you're cowardly; even a good dog wouldn't block the way," Huo Feng steadied himself and said.
"You..." Mu Yu was so enraged that he couldn't speak, his face twisted in anger. Normally, even talented members of the Huo Family would not dare to speak to them like this. Just then, in this awkward moment,
"Mu Yu, why are you wasting your time with a useless person? Father wants you to come home; Uncle Nalan has arrived," a cold voice rang out. Everyone turned to see a curvaceous girl with an acceptable face; though she wasn't stunningly beautiful, her icy demeanor added a unique charm.
This delicate girl was Mu Xue from the Mu Family. At just fifteen years old, she had developed quite well; all the right places had grown appropriately, and combined with her cold temperament, she was strikingly beautiful.
"Did you know? This girl named Mu Xue is Mu Yu's sister and is much stronger than him; she seems to be at the peak of Origin Force Level Nine," someone in the crowd remarked.
"So this is the famous Ice Mountain Beauty, Mu Xue? She's really beautiful! If I had a wife like her, I'd be willing to die," another person said, staring at Mu Xue with wide eyes, nearly drooling.
At that moment, a chilling gaze shot over from Mu Xue. The man shivered in fright and quickly withdrew his gaze, no longer daring to look.
"Hurry up and follow me; don't make me take action. Nalan Kang should come too," Mu Xue said as she turned to leave without even glancing at Huo Feng.
Mu Yu and Nalan Kang quickly followed her. Even Mu Yu felt somewhat intimidated by his sister; her strength surpassed theirs by two levels and she was about to enter the Connection Realm—she was the top talent of the Mu Family. Every time they trained together as a family, she would mercilessly dominate them; just thinking about it made him shudder.
As they left, the crowd slowly dispersed. Occasionally someone sighed, "Huo Feng is truly pitiful; born into such a big family yet he's just a useless person."
"Who isn't?"
Huo Feng paid no mind to their comments; he had been hearing such things since he was eight years old and had long since gotten used to it. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued walking toward Purple Cloud Mountain. He didn't want to go home or stay in this oppressive city any longer. For five years now, aside from windy or rainy days, he usually slept on the giant rocks of Purple Cloud Mountain under the sun.
That night, Nottingham City was bustling with activity and brightly lit everywhere.
In the Huo Family's hall stood a man with a weathered face but eyes that held an inexplicable aura that made people hesitant to meet his gaze. Beside him stood a middle-aged man with a long goatee who was hunched over and trembling as he spoke: "Patriarch, I heard from someone in the courtyard that they saw Mu Yu from the Mu Family and Nalan Kang from the Nalan Family severely injure Young Master. Afterward, Young Master left the city." He didn't dare lift his head because he already knew about this matter; he was only now informing Patriarch Huo Lianqing.
"Dammit, why are you telling me this now?" With that, the table beside him shattered. The butler, terrified, fell to the ground, thinking to himself, "This is it. I thought it was nothing, but what if the young master really is in danger? The master will definitely kill me." As he thought of this, the butler broke out in a cold sweat.
However, noticing the silence that followed, the butler felt something was off. He cautiously lifted his eyes and discovered that the clan leader had already vanished without a trace. He quickly got up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, muttering to himself, "The power of Network Realm Level Nine is indeed different; he disappeared without a sound." He wore an envious expression. "I need to send someone out to look for him quickly. If the young master is missing, it will be a big deal. Although he is a useless person, he is the clan leader's only son. Someone, come here!" He rushed out toward the hall.
Above Nottingham City, a powerful aura caused everyone inside to look up. A booming voice echoed, "Muxiu and Nalan Bo, you old bastards, get out here!"
"Isn't that the Head of the Huo Family? What's going on?" someone in the city asked.
"Don't you know? Huo Feng was nearly beaten to death by Mu Yu and Nalan Kang."
"I just ran into someone from the Huo Family who seemed to be looking for something. Could it be that useless person Huo Feng got into some trouble?"
As the city buzzed with excitement, two immense auras rose into the sky.
The city fell silent in an instant; everyone was afraid of missing something while also anticipating some kind of event.
The atmosphere was exceptionally tense at that moment.
