"Hong Yi, please take care of the transfer of shares for those companies; someone will come to sign the documents later,"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, I’ll handle it this afternoon!"
...
After being humiliated by Wang Cai twice, the Ding Family finally collapsed. In the Ancient Martial Arts World, sometimes face is more important than life. A loss of 400 billion in assets, although a severe blow, was not enough to destroy the Ding Family.
To get Wang Cai to lift his precious paws, they had to agree to cede a large amount of the Ding Family’s assets, including businesses, real estate, houses, and stock options, finally reaching the sum of 400 billion Huaxia currency.
"If you had repaid the money earlier, none of this would have happened!" Zhang Menglong called back Wang Cai with satisfaction and casually shot two streams of inner strength at Ding Muyun’s acupoints.
Ding Muyun spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with crushed ice and would no longer suffer from the Life and Death Talisman.
"Look at you, if it weren’t for you, your family wouldn’t have had to suffer such misfortune. Truly pitiful," Zhang Menglong left these words and then departed with two people and a dog.
At that moment, Ding Muyun’s face turned pale as Zhang Menglong’s words had squarely placed all the blame on him.
Upon reflection, if Ding Muyun hadn’t lusted after Chen Bingyu’s beauty, he wouldn’t have provoked Zhang Menglong. Without provoking Zhang Menglong, the Ding Family wouldn’t have fallen into such a state today!
Now, the strongest in the Ding Family was only a Level Eight Grandmaster Martial Artist.
Although they still possessed their Internal Cultivation Methods and martial arts secrets, recovering to their former realm would take at least three to five years, perhaps even longer due to the significant loss of family assets.
In recent times, the Ding Family’s reckless actions had already made them enemies with many families and sects.
The families were manageable, but those sects housed experts of the Mythical Realm. With the current state of the Ding Family, even a Level One Mythical Realm Martial Artist could sweep through them; they would not leave any chance for the Ding Family to struggle on.
Once this grand event concludes, the threshold of the Ding House might very well be completely trampled...
...
"What a lucrative deal!" In contrast to the despair of the Ding Family, Zhang Menglong’s mood was as sweet as honey sweetened with sugar. He had just spent 100 billion, and now he earned back 4000 billion, along with hundreds of Cred Points, even his inner strength had ascended to the standard of a Level Eight Grandmaster Martial Artist, "The Ding Family really is my lucky star!"
Zhang Menglong and his group had arrived quite late, only occupying a small part of those who attended this grand event at the entrance of the island.
But, the celestial and earthly changes caused by Zhang Menglong’s deployment of Three Parts Return to Yuan Qi had caught everyone’s attention, and word about him quickly spread.
"What? Several Mythical Realm experts from the Ding Family were crippled?"
"Done by Zhang Menglong? The world’s richest? Isn’t he just a student in his twenties?"
"Killing a Mythical Realm practitioner in one move... How strong is he? He must be at least Level Five in the Mythical Realm, right?"
"The Ritian Sect... With Zhang Menglong’s strength, even if he were the only one in that sect, absolutely no one would dare provoke it."
"From now on, the Ancient Martial Arts World will have to reckon with one more top-level sect force."
...
All the major forces began inquiring about the Ritian Sect. Having good relations with this sect would be like having a powerful supporter!
The Chen Family and the Liu Family, having had some interactions with Zhang Menglong, were overjoyed. They had members in Zhang Menglong’s Ritian Sect. If their families faced troubles in the future, Zhang Menglong might help them out of respect for Chen Bingyu and Liu Yunyi, right?
The head of the Liu Family suddenly fell into deep thought, originally thinking the Ritian Sect was just some amateurish makeshift sect. But now, that was clearly not the case!
Zhang Menglong was an unfathomably powerful Mythical Realm expert, whose dog even consumed the legendary "Immortal Pills." How could such a person invest so much for nothing?
Upon further consideration, there must be something about his grandson, Liu Yunyi, that attracted Zhang Menglong’s interest, hence his request.
At this thought, a tinge of regret surfaced in his heart; it appeared he had earned 100 billion, but who knew that after the truth was revealed, his loss might be a top-level expert overlooked by his family?
At this moment, Zhang Menglong and others had already arrived at the center of the island, where thousands of Ancient Martial Arts experts gathered, making it a bustling scene.
At the center of the island, a huge platform had been erected. The younger generation from various families would compete here to determine the ranking on the Genius List.
On the edge of the martial arts competition stage, there were nine ordinary wooden chairs. However, not everyone was qualified to sit on these chairs; even those who managed to sit on them could be thrown off at any time.
"People from the Ancient Martial Association are here!" Amid a bustle, a few master martial artists appeared in the venue.
Although there were many experts from the Mythical Realm present, people from the Ancient Martial Association were treated with a degree of deference, even by them.
"Bingyu, do you want to have a go?" Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "The age limit for this competition is 30, and I think you can’t find an opponent under 30 in the entire Ancient Martial Arts World."
"Of course, except for me," Zhang Menglong added, "It would also give our Ritian Sect a boost in prestige."
"Principal..." Chen Bingyu said somewhat speechlessly, "Even calling it Super God Academy sounds better than Ritian Sect!"
"That won’t do!" Zhang Menglong said seriously, "The name must be loud and domineering; if not, I don’t mind if you change it to Blast Sky Gang later."
"Fine, let’s stick with Ritian Sect..."
The official competition hadn’t started yet, but there were already people sparring on the stage. Of course, these were all friendly matches between the younger generation under 30, serving as entertainment for those master martial artists and experts from the Mythical Realm.

At that moment, two young martial artists on the stage were fighting an evenly matched battle. After over a hundred moves, one of them finally admitted defeat.
"One 22 and the other 25, both are Level Two martial artists; such talent is considered quite impressive."
"Yes, I heard that this year in the Long family of Neichuan Sichuan, there emerged a genius who is already a Level Four martial artist at 27!"
"Really? I’ve heard there aren’t a few geniuses under 30 who reached Level Four this year, including Ding Muyun from the Ding family, who also reached Level Four through that inheritance."
"Hmph, how can those kinds of side sect skills compare to the Long family? After all, the Long family has the oldest inheritance, and the Ancient Martial Association reserves a spot for them every year, plus the Inner Cultivation Methods and martial arts of the Long family are probably not weaker than those of the Ding family!"
"Yeah, their family’s Inner Strength naturally carries a trace of intense fire attribute; I heard that Long Lin’s Dragon Flame Break even has a bit of his grandfather’s skill!"
"Old Master Long is truly a towering figure; it looks like in this Genius Ranking, Long Lin will definitely be among the top three, perhaps even challenging for first place!"
"Look, isn’t that Long Lin?"
The moment the previous young man retreated in defeat, another young man stepped onto the stage, his face showing calm confidence and the pride of a favored son of heaven.
"Long Lin of the Long family, here to seek guidance!"
The other young man’s expression changed drastically at once; he was only a Level Two martial artist, and someone like Long Lin, a Level Four martial artist, could probably kill him with a single punch!
"Brother Long, I know my skills are inferior and shall not embarrass myself!" The young man wisely stepped down from the stage.
"Hmph! Trash!" Long Lin snorted coldly, "Does anyone dare to come up?"
"Damn! A 27-year-old Level Four martial artist? Who would dare, that’s just asking for trouble!"
"Forget about trouble, if you’re not careful you could end up dead; the Long family’s boxing is brutally fierce, who can withstand it?"
"I heard that Long Lin is not only powerful but also very arrogant, and he likes humiliating his opponents the most."
Observing the quiet whispers from the crowd below, Long Lin wasn’t annoyed. What he loved the most was this sort of situation—everyone fearing and revering him!
"I think this one can take a beating; you should give it a try," Zhang Menglong said to Chen Bingyu.
"Principal, but he..." Liu Yunyi had heard of Long Lin’s reputation, and although Chen Bingyu was also a Level Four martial artist, male martial artists naturally had gender advantages, so he probably...

"Humph, are you all scared?" Long Lin still taunted the crowd below, "It’s not personal, but what I meant to say is, all you guys are..."
"Ouch!" Following a scream, Long Lin’s body suddenly flew out.
"Who?" Everyone suddenly noticed that where Long Lin had been standing, there now stood a woman!
"Chief Disciple of the Ritian Sect, Chen Bingyu!"
