Nangong Qi's combat skills were formidable, and those who overestimated their own minor skills were either frightened away or chose to leave on their own to save their face.

"Qi'er, sparring has always been about stopping at the right point, how can you be so rude?" he voice of the head of the Nangong Family was slightly cold, and the older generation echoed in agreement, though their faces showed no sign of anger.

"Not at all, Miss Qi has already shown mercy, only blame this useless boy for his lack of skill." The visiting guests, aware of their own limitations, quickly smiled apologetically. They knew that the Nangong Family was just putting on a show, and if this was considered holding back, then it wasn't a real sparring at all.

While the elders exchanged pleasantries, Nangong Qi did not respond; her hair fluttering, her gaze firmly locked on her opponent, had a taste of neither servility nor overbearingness.

It was only when the man stood up for the second time and they exchanged bows that the sparring truly ended.

Watching how the crowd came with arrogance and left in disarray, the head of the Nangong Family and the elders remained smiling silently…

Although it was said to be a martial contest for marriage, the idea that someone with such limited skills could marry Qi'er was indeed far-fetched. As a major hidden sect, the Nangong Family had no hopes for these privileged children. The martial contest was more about sifting through them and letting some realize their limits and step back.

"Qi'er, can your beloved match them?"

"Of course." Qi responded softly.

"Who is he, why not bring him here to meet us?"

If asked like this before, Qi might have confessed, but now that the Nangong Family deeply resented Li Xiang, how could she dare to reveal Feng Yi's identity? This showed how subtle Nangong Qi's thoughts were; she wasn't a girl who dared to take a stand or try something new in important matters.

"Ah! You disobedient child, your wings have really hardened!" The family head sighed deeply, "In some time, the family will organize a marriage contest for you, you better prepare yourself."

After the family head's words, the elders left while continuously shaking their heads in pity, lamenting, "Misfortune, such misfortune..."

Meanwhile, Feng Yi silently lamented how Blade Warrior was causing a catastrophe. What vast resources such an enormous project must demand! The moment he set foot in Maraca Freedom Port at Triangular Star, he was completely shocked by the magnificent scene before him; Blade Warrior had excavated a city-sized space at the Combat Power Tester company.

Land signified immovable wealth; land was also the core asset of Maraca Freedom Port; digging up such an area of land required the consent of all major powers of Maraca Freedom Port and massive funds to officially purchase this land under such stringent conditions before Blade Warrior could qualify to undertake the excavation.

Why would she want to excavate the land? Although Blade Warrior had told him not to seek her anymore, Feng Yi knew that those were merely words spoken in frustration. When he found her again and informed her of his intentions, the shameless woman didn't hesitate to welcome him in.

Feng Yi could not understand Blade Warrior's purpose. "What are you doing with this project?"

"Hasn't Roland been looking for you already? Human time is running out."

"Even you are spouting such nonsense."

"What I state is fact. It is an irreversible process, and we live in a selfish era without faith, unable to avoid nature's penalty."

"What exactly is happening, tell me."

"There's a new virus infiltrating, highly infectious with an extremely long incubation period. The virus had started outbreaks in various countries months ago; the common people's immune systems will struggle to cope—not, of course, that this is only the beginning. I have also discerned from Roland's prophetic signals a warning of chaos that humanity cannot withstand."

Feng Yi's expression grew solemn, "What necessary connection is there between the virus and the warning of chaos?"

"Without mentioning the warning of chaos, humanity can't even pass the first hurdle, and that's why I needed to isolate this land."

"Are you referring to the virus as the first hurdle?"

"That's right, humanity temporarily has no measures to counter it. The virus has already erupted in some small global powers, so the only effective solution is a passive defense to prohibit going out."

The grave topic inevitably plunged Feng Yi into deep thought. "With your abilities, I'm sure you could develop a special elixir."

"I've seen through selfish humans and will no longer make futile efforts." Blade Warrior's voice suddenly became shrill, "Feng Yi, in this faithless era, I think you are the most unique. If you still are the Revenge Shadow Rider, then be yourself again, even if we cannot change the world, let's not go with the flow. So, I'd rather they call me a capitalist, you call me a bitch."

"Ah, but you really are a bitch—so what should we do next?"

"Wait for death, humanity has only four choices: develop a special elixir, await God's selection, face extinction, or hope the virus fades away on its own... Of course, the fourth scenario isn't impossible—we always think we rule the universe, but each time we face nature's retribution, we finally realize how insignificant we are. When spiritual civilization stops progressing, when selfishness and profit dominate, our time will run out—but when we realize all this and start to sincerely repent, striving to advance our spiritual civilization, maybe it's not too late."

"What is this phenomenon of chaos you mentioned?"

"I'm not sure, that's what Roland is most worried about. According to her prophecy, the turning point will stem from you, and considering your current physical condition, I can't understand what it could be. It's impossible for one person to have the power to change the world."
