The sound abruptly ceased as Jiang Haixuan's roar sent the tables in the office flying. However, not even a single document that had fallen to the ground stirred within a meter of Xiao Yefeng. Accompanying the furious shout was a punch infused with Purple Lightning, which Xiao Yefeng caught effortlessly with one hand. The shockwave was completely contained within his palm, and with a gentle push, he redirected the force back at Jiang Haixuan, who transformed into a beast and was sent flying out of the office. An invisible current of air caught Jiang Haixuan just before he crashed through the wall, gently placing him back on the ground.
At that moment, Jiang Haixuan's Beast Transformation Form vanished entirely, and his Gene Chain rapidly differentiated, restoring him to his original state. He sat on the floor motionless, his eyes wide with shock as they darted between Jiang Xing and Xiao Yefeng.
Due to Jiang Haixuan's roar, many people had already rushed to the scene. Upon seeing Jiang Haixuan collapsed on the ground, everyone froze in disbelief. His strength was well-known; who was this man that he dared to strike the President's descendant right in front of him? Moreover, it appeared that the President was glaring at Jiang Haixuan in anger—what was going on?
"President! What happened?" A voice from behind the crowd called out, belonging to an elderly man. Hearing this, Xiao Yefeng smiled slightly. The newcomer looked at Xiao Yefeng in surprise before bursting into laughter. "So you've finally crawled out of your cozy little corner!"
"Vice President! What are you talking about?" Xiao Yefeng chuckled.
"Ah! You can't call me Vice President anymore; Old Cao has stepped down and is now fully focused on cultivating his strength! He is now a member of the Elders' Council of the Metaphysics Society!" Jiang Xing said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Jiang Haixuan remained off to the side as three or four people attempted to help him up from the ground. However, even when they managed to lift him, his posture remained unchanged!
"What’s going on?" A few young men stared at the scene in confusion. At this point, the elders from the Metaphysics Society had recognized Xiao Yefeng and his companions and did not approach. The newcomers in their twenties surrounded Jiang Haixuan and looked toward Xiao Yefeng, one of them asking, "Who are you? How dare you act against someone in the Metaphysics Society?"
The question left those conversing momentarily stunned. Xiao Yefeng shrugged while Jiang Xing's expression turned cold. "Since everyone is here, we might as well skip calling for a collective meeting! Haven't you all been dying to know who occupies the top spot on the Mystic Ranking—a position that has never been documented? Well, he’s here now!"
"The Mystic Ranking?" Xiao Yefeng asked in confusion.
"Indeed! The Mystic Ranking has been established since the new calendar began by the Metaphysics Society as a combat power ranking system. The first position has always been vacant; the President has been keeping it open for you!" Cao Man said cheerfully.
"It seems that much has changed in the Metaphysics Society over these nine years!" Xiao Yefeng remarked with a hint of nostalgia.
As they conversed, whispers spread among the new members below regarding the mysterious first place on the Mystic Ranking. Among them, everyone was familiar with Xiao Yefeng's name; however, aside from that name, there was nothing known about who held that top position. Now that they realized that this young man was indeed their President, discussions erupted among them—especially since Jiang Haixuan remained incapacitated and fully aware of Xiao Yefeng's strength!
"Alright! Everyone disperse! We have matters to discuss!" With that, Cao Man and Jiang Xing ushered away the onlookers. As for Jiang Haixuan, who could not move while sitting on the ground, he was grabbed by Jiang Xing by his collar and dragged into the office!
"I understand now! That technique I saw in your image looks so familiar; I guess age really does affect memory. Wind, yours is Intercepting Finger!" With no one else around, Jiang Xing tossed Jiang Haixuan onto a nearby chair.
"That's right, how does Fei's current combat power compare to how he was just now?" Xiao Yefeng pointed at Jiang Haixuan.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xing replied, "The Mystic Ranking is based on strength. Fei and Sophia belong to the Military, but in terms of comparison, if we were to rank them according to the Mystic Ranking, they should be in third and fourth place. Meanwhile, Haixuan is only ranked tenth in the Mystic Ranking. However, considering his recent rage, his combat power should be able to place him in the top five! Fei's full offensive and defensive capabilities are slightly stronger than Haixuan's just now!"
"Exactly! The only means capable of breaking through Fei's defense with a single strike, aside from Master personally intervening, would be the Intercepting Finger, which specializes in breaking techniques and sealing spirits! It seems that the rumored mysterious figure, Mr. Xiao, has already joined the Human United Federation! And..." Xiao Yefeng hesitated.
At this moment, Jiang Xing urged, "Speak your mind! There are no taboos between us!"
"Look at this!" Xiao Yefeng pointed out a half badge and then drew a complete double six-pointed star badge; the two were identical! At that moment, both of them saw shock reflected in each other's eyes.
In silence, Xiao Yefeng reached out and released Jiang Haixuan from the restraints imposed by the Intercepting Finger. At this point, Jiang Haixuan was much more docile; Xiao Yefeng's strength had won his respect. Of course, this respect also stemmed from the conversation between Jiang Xing and Xiao Yefeng. However, it was clear that he still harbored feelings for Liu Yiyi. To this, Xiao Yefeng could only smile and say, "Child, you look like you've never experienced despair! Well, how could someone raised in a greenhouse ever know despair? But I'm not trying to undermine your confidence; I just want to tell you a fact!"
"What fact? A person can only have one wife; even if you like them both, you can only marry one!" Jiang Haixuan argued back. However, he was unaware that Xiao Yefeng had already freed himself from that law.
Shaking his head, Xiao Yefeng said, "Unfortunately for you, although I hold Chinese nationality, I am not bound by that law because in my country there are no restrictions on the number of wives one can have! So you can forget about it; she is the mother of my precious daughter!"
Though shocked, Jiang Haixuan accepted the reality. His infatuation with Liu Yiyi was merely a fleeting illusion of first love. However, even though he did not expect anything from Liu Yiyi anymore, it did not mean he would give face to Xiao Yefeng. After all, Xiao Yefeng had easily defeated him in front of everyone just moments ago. Despite it being a matter of strength disparity, it was still a blow to his pride. Thus, after handing over the information to Xiao Yefeng, Jiang Haixuan walked out.
Watching the stubborn Jiang Haixuan leave, both Xiao Yefeng and Jiang Xing shook their heads. Soon after, Xiao Yefeng began reviewing the materials while outside, Jiang Haixuan was surrounded by a group of new members from the Metaphysics Society!
They bombarded him with questions about Xiao Yefeng's identity. The Metaphysics Society had gained a youthful vigor compared to before; it was no longer filled with lifeless old scholars as it once had been.
Ultimately, Jiang Haixuan had no choice but to admit that he had been defeated in one move before he managed to escape from the crowd of Bagua members! However, he unexpectedly ran into someone he least wanted to see.
"Oh! Isn't this Guan N-dai? Looking so disheveled; I heard you flew out just now?" A thin man with a sallow complexion mocked him mercilessly.
Seeing the Bamboo Pole Man made Jiang Haixuan's expression darken as he retorted coldly: "You better watch your mouth; you're the N-dai here! The strength I have today is earned by myself! I flew out; if you run into him again, you might just end up tossed into the North Sea!"
"Ts, ts, ts! I am an official representative! If you can't do it yourself, don't drag the whole world down with you. I'm not like you, bringing shame upon myself. That senior is the number one powerhouse of the Dragon Calendar Year, Penglou, the Master of Combat, who altered fate and saved a beauty! What isn't worthy of our admiration? Do you think everyone is as arrogant as you?" Bamboo Pole Man mocked.
"What do you mean, Maliu? Let's settle this right now. Are you brave enough to go to the duel arena?" Jiang Haixuan was filled with righteous indignation. He was already furious from being dealt with by Xiao Yefeng and now encountering this guy ignited his anger even more, prompting him to propose a life-and-death duel!
Life and death—it's all about fate! Unless one side concedes, it would be a fight to the death! The New Calendar Year era is no longer what it used to be; as long as both parties establish a contract, life and death in the duel are determined by fate, and the law will not hold anyone accountable.
Upon hearing this, Maliu immediately exclaimed loudly, "Alright! See you at the duel arena after seven days! Let's see if your Purple Thunder Roar is stronger or my Azure Bamboo Snake!"
This challenge quickly became known among the crowd, and their discord stirred up great waves within the Metaphysics Society. Both were outstanding figures of the younger generation, evenly matched in talent. However, from a genetic standpoint, Maliu's Azure Bamboo Snake was superior. Yet perhaps due to fate's jest, despite having a slight advantage, Maliu's circumstances were still inferior to Jiang Haixuan's—even luck seemed to favor Jiang Haixuan. Thus, their conflict arose!
Meanwhile, as news of their duel reached Jiang Xing and Xiao Yefeng, they also discovered a commonality among those members of Perfect World who had been killed by the Human United Federation: all those who died had seemingly supported Lu Zhan's claim among the three young masters.
With this information in hand, a clear answer emerged. Mr. Xie Mai, as a member of Zodiac's enforcement team, led an attack on the Metaphysics Society. The forces from Perfect World were evidently acting under divine or spiritual orders! Clearly, Perfect World was also in turmoil; however, this unrest paled in comparison to the pressure exerted on the Metaphysics Society. Currently, the forces led by the Metaphysics Society were divided among Perfect World and Human United Federation. The leader of Perfect World remained Master, and if Human United Federation was indeed created by one of the gods or spirits among the three young masters,
even if internal strife within the three young masters resulted in some loss of strength, once one side emerged victorious and absorbed Human United Federation, their power would undoubtedly surpass that of Metaphysics Society. At that point, Metaphysics Society would lose its advantage!
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng pondered how civilizations had made choices at this time in history; however, he decided to take a risk and test the reality of Human United Federation!
