The scene shifts, and time flies by.
Ten days have passed since Li Yang and Zisuye returned from the wilderness of Golden City.
During those ten days, not a single message was sent out, and no one knew what had happened there.
After leaving the suburbs and returning to the city, Li Yang and Zisuye said goodbye and lost contact.
However, Li Yang had heard that the authorities were currently sending people to investigate that area, and the Golden City wilderness area had been completely sealed off, making it impossible to get out from the inside or enter from the outside.
It's clear that the higher-ups are taking this incident very seriously.
After all, nine geniuses from their Dragon Kingdom had disappeared without a trace.
Only Li Yang successfully made a comeback.
However, Li Yang guessed that the higher-ups were paying so much attention to it because of the matter concerning the dragon vein, the Y organization, and another mysterious force.
Moreover, since his near-death experience back there, Li Yang hasn't had much peace these past few days.
As the only genius to return safely from there, Li Yang was asked about it almost every two days. Although it was always the same questions, people still kept coming to confirm.
Moreover, during this period, Li Yang seemed to be living the life of a beloved pet.
It could be said that he could feel eyes watching him all the time, and that someone was secretly protecting his safety, paying attention to his every move and all his activities.
Although he knew it was for his own good, Li Yang still felt very awkward about it.
This would make him very uncomfortable, and more importantly, it would make it difficult for him to do many things.
It's unclear how long this surveillance-like protection will last.
At first, Li Yang thought these people would probably leave after a while.
But gradually, Li Yang came to terms with it.
Do what you normally do, go grind monsters if you want to, it won't affect anything.
As a genius of the Dragon Kingdom, it's not a problem for me to be a little stronger, right? As long as he doesn't reveal any particularly outrageous abilities, there shouldn't be any issues.
And so, in the days that followed, Li Yang began to constantly run dungeons and level up by fighting monsters.
According to the original plan, they were supposed to train locally for two days before going to participate in some competition.
However, the main problem is that this situation is too difficult to collapse.
If it were just one or two geniuses missing, that would be one thing, we could find someone to fill the gap. But now, nine out of ten are gone, leaving only one. What's the point of fighting like this?
Unsurprisingly, due to the problems they encountered, the international competitions were also forced to be canceled.
As for the cause of this match, the discovered secret realm must have an owner.
After all, it's impossible to keep dragging things out just because the Dragon Kingdom can't provide any personnel.
Finally, it seems that the major countries chose another method to determine the ownership of the secret realm, but Li Yang didn't know the specifics.
After all, it's none of his business anymore.
The impact of the incident that happened to Li Yang and his group in Golden City this time was much greater than expected.
After all, they discovered that there was a force constantly watching them and causing trouble, and even members of the Y organization had infiltrated the country. Both of these are very serious matters on their own, but they have now overlapped.
Clearly, they are plotting something of great importance.
Things are unlikely to be peaceful.
That being said...
At this point, Li Yang cut off all contact with the other side.
However, the competition was canceled.
The annual college entrance examination is just around the corner.
The exam is approaching.
This is considered the most important time of year in the Dragon Kingdom.
During the exam preparation period, the area also presented a very prosperous scene.
Various marketing and promotional materials, as well as exam preparation supplies, represent a huge business opportunity.
Everyone wants to achieve better results in the college entrance examination. At this time, they will grit their teeth and spend a lot of money to upgrade their equipment.
All for the sake of getting better results in the college entrance examination.
After all, in terms of final score, even a point or two can give them an edge over countless competitors of the same age.
To be honest, it depends on how you look at it; in fact, it's definitely not a loss.
It's equivalent to paying money to get things done.
The more you spend, the smoother things will go.
It might sound very unfair.
But in reality, this world is unfair. Here, once everyone awakens to their profession at the age of 18, their life trajectory and potential are essentially fixed.
Wanting to overtake others by taking a shortcut without spending resources? There's no such thing as a free lunch!
But in a sense, this can be considered a kind of fairness.
Because in a sense, even the descendants of wealthy families are not necessarily able to awaken a very good professional talent, even though they can spend money to buy equipment to improve their strength.
But for ordinary people, it does offer an additional way out, a possibility to change their lives, and an opportunity to erase the differences brought about by wealth and family background.
So, sometimes many things are things that people both love and hate.
It depends on your perspective.
For Li Yang, he is a case in point of being able to change his destiny by relying on the latter.
His strong career made up for the fact that he originally came from a modest family background.
Noon.
A magnificent airplane flew low over Jianghai City before finally landing at the largest airport in the city center.
As the plane came to a stop and the cabin doors opened, several smartly dressed young men and women stepped out of the business area.
Their equipment and clothing were all very luxurious, making them stand out from the others and even making the surrounding environment seem utterly worthless.
In short, these people alone give off a sense of sophistication.
Meanwhile, at this moment, people had been waiting for quite some time in the arrival area outside the airport dam.
As the young men and women came out, a middle-aged man quickly went to greet them with two assistants.
Their attire was also quite impressive, clearly indicating they were not ordinary people.
But at this moment, he acts as if he is welcoming a distinguished guest.
The middle-aged man stepped forward, smiling obsequiously.
"Welcome to our Jianghai! May I ask if you young heroes and ladies are distinguished guests from Hong Kong Island?"
Seeing this, the young men and women stopped laughing.
A tall, well-built young man spoke with his head held high.
"That's right, you're the ones sent to pick us up?"
“Yes, that’s right!” the middle-aged man quickly replied.
The boy nodded, looked the middle-aged man up and down, and then looked around.
"This little place is just different. It feels like I've gone back to my childhood, haha! It's a bit like the period dramas I used to watch," the boy said with a smile.
