Misty drizzle began to fall along the Huangpu Riverbank.

This was the result of Qin Heng and Hong Tianshu's earth-shattering battle, which had sent the river's vapor soaring into the sky, stirring the winds and clouds, and briefly altering the weather, causing the rain to fall.

Such a terrifying force, akin to Heavenly Might, left everyone present at the scene utterly shocked.

So strong!

Impossibly strong with no logic!!

This young Grandmaster, an eighteen-year-old in the Transcendence Realm, was unbelievably powerful!

Qin Heng slowly descended from the sky, as if a Nine Heavens Immortal had come down to the Mortal World from the Immortal realm. Standing there with a peerless grace, hands clasped behind his back, he looked around and finally turned his gaze to the Huangpu River.

He said indifferently, "Hong Tianshu is dead!"

At the same time, a corpse floated up from the Huangpu River.

Grizzled hair, youthful face, dressed in long robes!

It was none other than Hong Tianshu, acclaimed as the Divine Dragon of Nanyang!!

HISS!

Seeing this scene with their own eyes, everyone couldn't help but draw a sharp breath, standing frozen in place with eyes wide open as if turned to stone.

A Grandmaster on the verge of reaching the Innate Realm, and even on the cusp of a breakthrough, had been killed right in front of them by a young man—the shock was immense!!

Even some Half-Step Transcendence and Grandmasters began to doubt their life's purpose!

After struggling for half a lifetime and enduring decades of grueling practice, what was it all for, when a teenager had just killed Hong Tianshu, and so easily?

And it wasn't even a narrow victory after a fierce, drawn-out fight!

But with a single palm strike!

The heavens and earth seemed to capsize, an unparalleled power erupted!

Right then and there!

He killed Hong Tianshu!

With one move!

Just one move!

Even someone as strong as Hong Tianshu couldn't withstand a single move from Qin Xuantian!

Is this even human!?

"Hong Tianshu is dead, he really is dead!" Su Beihe's voice trembled as he stared in shock at the floating corpse in the Huangpu River.

"This Qin Xuantian... inconceivable!" Yuan Zheng also had his eyes wide open, full of disbelief. He had originally not thought that Qin Heng could defeat Hong Tianshu.

But now, Hong Tianshu had been killed by a single palm strike!!

"Hong Tianshu is dead, Qin Xuantian has won, it's incredible, he's won!!"

"To kill Hong Tianshu with a single palm strike, my goodness, could this young man be an Innate Grandmaster?"

"We are witnessing the rise of a Myth!!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, everyone looking at Qin Heng with an almost reverential gaze!

As if worshipping a Martial God who had appeared among mortals!

Su Yiyi cheered, "He won! He really won! Hong Tianshu, even as the Divine Dragon of Nanyang, is no match for him!!"

"Yes..." Su Mingli remarked with feeling, "Grandfather said that Hong Tianshu was the foremost person under Innate, and now he has been killed by a single palm strike, so strong, incredibly strong!"

"This is a legend, this is a myth!"

"Young Grandmaster, no! Young Innate, an eighteen-year-old Great Grandmaster!!"

"Dominating the world, suppressing this era!"

The cries of astonishment continued.

Almost reaching the clouds!

Several Grandmasters of Transcendence from reclusive sects, in addition to their shock, had their eyes filled with intense joy.

Perhaps!

A brand new grand era!

A stirring, golden age was about to unveil itself!!

...

Hong Tianshu was dead!

Killed by a single palm strike from Qin Xuantian!

This news spread like a tornado, beginning in Tianhai and sweeping across the country.

It then reached Southeast Asia, Japan, America, and elsewhere, bringing deep recognition to the previously unknown name "Qin Xuantian".

To kill Hong Tianshu with a single palm strike!

Too strong!

Unbeatable in all the world!!

However, Qin Heng didn't care about any of that.

After killing Hong Tianshu, he returned to Chen Qingzhu's BMW, reverting back to his original appearance.

He prepared to go home.

For Qin Heng, his younger sister, Song Ningran, represented his true life.

What Hong Tianshu, what Golden Buddha Temple, Shadow Gate, all were merely interludes in life, and of course, if those interludes became too annoying, Qin Heng wouldn't mind snuffing them out!

Like the Golden Buddha Temple!

Qin Heng had decided that after the college entrance exam, he would take a trip to Mount QianFo and eradicate that ignorant monk sect!

No one dared to obstruct Qin Heng.

The red BMW drove off smoothly, leaving the crowded Qin family harbor behind.

Chen Qingzhu sat in the driver's seat, hesitating for a moment, as if making up her mind, then cheered, "Boss Qin, you were just... so cool! What was that look just now?"

After all, she was a woman, and a young and beautiful woman at that.

Her attention wasn't on Qin Heng's formidable power but on his tall and handsome demeanor in his Daoist state.

"Are you saying I'm not handsome now?" Qin Heng looked at Chen Qingzhu with a half-smile.

"Ah? No, no, no!" Chen Qingzhu shook her head repeatedly, saying, "It's just that the appearance from before was really... like an Immortal descending from the Nine Heavens, not something anyone in this mortal world can compare to!"

"HAHAHA! You do have a way with words!" Qin Heng laughed, saying, "Really want to know?"

"MHM, MHM!" Chen Qingzhu nodded.

"Secret." Qin Heng laughed again, then opened the car door and jumped out, his voice carried by the wind, "I'm not telling you!"

Then, in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Chen Qingzhu looked bewildered, utterly astonished.

Then she laughed foolishly, suddenly feeling refreshed, in a really good mood!

Qin Heng arrived home.

Seeing Qin Yun lying on the couch playing games and Song Ningran watching dramas on TV, he started to smile.

WHEW!

Qin Heng plopped down on the couch, catapulting Qin Yun and Song Ningran into the air, their fragrant, soft bodies crashing into his embrace, rubbing against him.

"Bro! Are you trying to kill us?"

"Qin Heng! I'm going to beat you to death!"

The chirpy grievances continued; this was truly what life was about!

...

「The next morning dawned.」

「The Chens.」

Chen Yuechong, whose grave injuries had been healed by Qin Heng, was dealing with the aftermath of last night's great battle when an assistant came to inform him that a VIP had come to visit.

He made some preparations.

Chen Yuechong went to his office and then saw the Family Head of the Wangs, Wang Nanzuo, walk in with two other people, all holding thick contracts.

As the three walked in, Chen Yuechong immediately stood up, looking at them with surprise and uncertainty, asking, "Family Head Wang, Family Head Du, Family Head Meng, what brings you all here today?"

These three men were the family heads of the other three families of the four major families in Tianhai, excluding the Chens!!

They had all come!

What was this about?

"Young Master Chen, there's no need to worry, we'd like to meet Chen Qingzhu, the family head of the Chens, if possible?" Wang Nanzuo did not carry an ounce of arrogance, even in front of Chen Yuechong, holding a lowered posture.

This would have been impossible before; Chen Yuechong was well aware of this. Even if he was seen as the deputy head of the Chens, he would definitely still be looked down upon by someone like Wang Nanzuo, the elder of the Wang family.

Now, it seemed that for some reason, the gap had been erased, and it had even caused the other party to lower their stance.

Why?

Chen Yuechong thought of last night's battle, thought of Qin Heng's earth-shattering might, like that of an Immortal God, and he suddenly understood everything. He smiled and said, "Please state your intentions, and I will inform the family head."

Previously, he definitely would have had to notify Chen Qingzhu first, and only after Chen Qingzhu arrived could he ask about the intentions of Wang Nanzuo and the others.

But now, the situation was entirely different!

When one man achieved enlightenment—even his chickens and dogs ascended to heaven!

The Chens, being under Qin Heng, and the family head having a close relationship with Qin Heng, naturally bathed in the immense fame of Qin Heng!

Wang Nanzuo and the others exchanged glances, sighing softly, as if they had all aged over a decade in an instant, then all placed the thick contract documents on Chen Yuechong's desk.

In unison, they said, "We are here to transfer all our family assets and submit to the Chens..."

To join the Chens.

Was to join under Qin Xuantian's command!!
