"A coming-of-age ceremony..."
When Chang Le arrived in District Nine, he hadn't made a decision yet. He sighed and stopped thinking about it.
The Ninth District "Freedom Cup" Youth Challenge is a triennial competition that tests the comprehensive abilities of young people, hosted alternately by the Dragon Faction and the Wolf Faction. While not large in scale, it has a high entry barrier and offers some rare prizes each year, attracting many participants.
It is worth mentioning that the participants in the "Freedom Cup" mainly come from the unregulated areas, and the competition is more brutal than ordinary friendly competitions, with a certain rate of injury and death.
The preliminary round was a free-for-all with groups of ten.
"The seventh free-for-all begins!"
On the platform, two people sat side by side in the center: Cang Yue of the Wolf Faction and Luo Xuan of the Dragon Faction.
Cang Yue's gaze fell on one of the people on the stage, and she said to Luo Xuan, "I heard that's the kid you recommended? He looks pretty young."
Following his gaze, it landed on a young man on the stage.
Brown, slightly wavy hair, large amber eyes, fair skin, and an adorable, puppy-like appearance—the epitome of a cute little puppy.
This familiar appearance is indeed the human form of 422, and the one appearing on the stage is Chang Le, who has transformed from [Wu Xiang] into the human form of 422, using the alias "Fu Jiu", with the superpower [Thunder].
Luo Xuan chuckled: "After all, he's young and promising."
He didn't hold back at all, which made Cang Yue even more curious about what skills this young man possessed that made Luo Xuan praise him.
"Challenge complete, Fu Jiu advances!"
"Huh?" Cang Yue looked up in bewilderment, her expressionless face breaking into a wide grin. "That's it?"
He only said one sentence, lowered his head, and then... it was all over in an instant!
On the stage, a clean-cut and adorable young man clapped his hands, put his hands in his pockets, walked through the "charred" human figures on the ground, and stepped off the stage.
Lightning-based superpowers can be this powerful...
Cang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly: "Could this person have some connection with Chairman Ye?"
"Keep it a secret," Luo Xuan said, remaining silent.
For several days in a row, from the preliminary rounds to the elimination rounds, Fu Jiu fought his way through to the finals.
At just over twenty years old, with a seventh-level cultivation, pure lightning-type supernatural abilities, outstanding physical skills and combat awareness, Fu Jiu quickly became a sought-after figure in the Chaotic Lands.
Cang Yue reported the situation to Lu Yanhuai.
“Boss, I’ve investigated this Fu Jiu’s background, and there’s nothing there. He’s just popped up out of nowhere, or… Fu Jiu is just a fake identity, someone we know is impersonating him.”
"But who else could be so young and possess such a pure lightning attribute ability besides Ye Buqi?"
Lu Yanhuai looked at the documents and the videos on them, a playful smile appearing on his face as he pondered: "Fu Jiu, doesn't this name say a lot?"
"Boss, I don't understand." Cang Yue had a vague guess in her heart, but she felt it was absurd.
Fu Jiu couldn't possibly be a descendant of that Dragon Emperor, could he?
"Call Xiao Lu over," Lu Yanhuai said.
A short while later, Cang Yue returned with a young man.
He had short, dark blue hair, grey eyes, long eyebrows, single eyelids, and upturned corners of his eyes. He had fair skin, red lips, and white teeth, and was always dressed in a suit and tie. He possessed a handsome yet slightly wicked charm.
He respectfully addressed Lu Yanhuai as "Godfather".
Lu Yanhuai nodded gently.
This young man in his early twenties was his adopted son and the successor to the Wolf Lord. He took Lu Yanhuai's surname and was named "Lu Jin'an".
Lu Yanhuai stopped Cang Yue, who was about to leave, and said, "You stay too. Both of you need to listen."
Lu Jin'an asked, "Is something important happening?"
Lu Yanhuai pushed Fu Jiu's information onto the table and said, "You two have always been curious about Ye Buqi's background, don't you understand why I didn't let you investigate?"
Lu Jin'an and Cang Yue both nodded.
Lu Jin'an said, "You only told me that Ye Buqi and Chang Le have a close relationship."
"That's why I'm telling you the reason today." Lu Yanhuai's tone was serious.
"Remember, what I'm about to say must not be divulged. Jin'an, you're going to take over my position, so listen carefully. After you hear this, you'll understand Fu Jiu's true identity."
Half an hour later.
Lu Jin'an suppressed the shock in his eyes: "No wonder you told me, Godfather, that we should not antagonize Chang Le."
"What you do next is up to you," Lu Yanhuai said.
A glint of light flashed in Lu Jin'an's narrow eyes: "Chang Le is more surprising than I imagined, Godfather. I would like to go to the competition venue for the next three days of the finals."
"Can."
...
After the first match of the first day of the finals, Chang Le, pressing his bleeding arm, walked towards the medical station. He noticed a long line ahead of him and hesitated whether to leave when someone approached him: "Hello, are you Fu Jiu?"
Chang Le turned his head and saw a pale-faced man with a sinister look in his eyes: "Who are you?"
She noticed that the expressions of the Wolf Faction members, the organizers, changed after this person appeared.
Therefore, this person belongs to the Wolf Faction and holds a relatively high position.
"Bunny?"
422 immediately revealed his identity: [Wow! Impressive, Lu Jin'an, Lu Yanhuai's adopted son, the young master of the Wolf Clan, his status is similar to yours.]
Lu Jin'an.
Chang Le repeated the name in her mind several times, and a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously. Upon further thought, some images flashed through her mind—nowadays, whenever she sees a key object or person, a portion of her corresponding memory will be restored.
The content in the video is what happened during her time with the Wolf Pack.
She and a boy with a sinister appearance and an even darker heart, who trained together, disliked each other and clashed several times, all while a mascot crow cheered them on.
Later, Lu Jin'an and a group of others went to the Dragon School to study for a period of time, and the two still maintained the relationship of being rivals.
